I'm Not Yours To Protect

Chapter 24

                        Writer's POV

          Baekhyun's mom was beyond pissed when Chanyeol brought him home that day. She was going to report Juho to the police but Chanyeol managed to stopped her, knowing that Baekhyun wouldn't want that. Juho stopped harassing Eunhyun and he kept his distance from Eunhyun and her group of friends. It was now 1 week to their exams, Eunhyun, Chanyeol and Taemi were in the library studying, well Eunhyun and Taemi was, Chanyeol was forced to.

          Tapping her fingers on the table and rubbing her temples, Eunhyun was focusing on the Maths question in front of her. Frustration filled her mind when she couldn't get the answer. Eunhyun exhales loudly and flickered her gaze to where Chanyeol's upper body is sprawled on the table.

       Taemi shook her head in disapproval, she looked at Eunhyun and nod her head in the direction of the sleeping Chanyeol. Eunhyun's mouth formed a 'o' shaped as she understood what Taemi meant. She slowly and quietly brought her hand to his forehead and flicked it as hard as she could. Chanyeol winced at the impact and slowly picked his head up, his eyes flickering back and forth between the two.

          Both of the girls looked away, Eunhyun was trying humming a tune while tapping her fingers harmonically on the table and Taemi was picking at a loose thread on her skirt.

          Chanyeol puffed out his cheeks while rubbing his forehead, "ouchh." He said, sleep still in his voice. Eunhyun folded her arms and glared at him, "You do know that you're the only one not taking this seriously right?". Chanyeol's mind was puzzled with confusion, he looked around the library and noticed that everyone was studying, not a single sense of humour written on any of their face.

          Crossing his arms in front of his chest, he snickered and shook his head in a playful manner. "Don't worry, I'm gonna ace the exams. The top student is going to be me." Chanyeol flashed them a cheeky grin. Taemi placed her fingers on her chin as if she was examining him. "What?" Chanyeol wasn't happy with the way Taemi was looking at him.

          "You must had your head in the clouds, there's no way you'll be the top student." Taemi teased Chanyeol, trying to make him agitated. Chanyeol looked down and pinched the bridge of his nose. Uncomfortable silence filled the air. After a good couple of seconds, Chanyeol looked back up and gave an smug smirk, "Would you like to challenge me then?".

          Taemi's eyes met his, both filled with competitiveness. "Fine, Eunhyun will be the judge. The one who answers first gets a point. First one to get 10 points wins." Chanyeol placed his arms on the table and leaned in, "Loser has to be the dog of the winner for a week."

          Eunhyun placed her hands up in a defensive manner, "Woah woah, don't bring me into this." Taemi's blood roared with determination as her eyes sparkle at the thought of controlling Chanyeol for a week. "I have no choice do I?" Eunhyun let out a deep sign.

-----

Both Chanyeol and Taemi were 1 point away from winning. Eunhyun was about to ask the final question causing them to stare at her like hawk with their ears wide open. "What is d/dx [3sin(2x+1)] equals to?".

They immediately took a piece of blank paper and scribble down the workings to the answer. "9cos(2x+1)!" Taemi yelled softly as she slammed the pen on the table. All eyes were on Eunhyun, she checked the answer before shaking her head. Chanyeol stayed quiet and thought of the formula, his face gleamed when he remembered. Chanyeol smirk before he quickly said confidently,"6cos(2x+1)". Eunhyun blinked twice, shocked at Chanyeol's sudden intelligence. "N-Nae, Chanyeol wins."

Taemi dug her hands in her hair as she stared at the table in disbelief, "I lost to that?!" She pointed her index finger at Chanyeol. He snapped his fingers in a sassy and douchey way, "I'm thirsty, get me some water bitch." Taemi retorted back, "I demand a rematch!".

Squeezing her cheeks, making them swell up. "I'm thirsty, go and get me water." Chanyeol said it a little louder, attempting to let the words sink into her. Taemi stomped out of the library, she grunted, biting her lips to stop herself from cursing.

When she left the library, Chanyeol let out a deep breath. Relief practically swamps him, his air seeping slowly out of his lungs. "Man I thought I was gonna lose." He messed up his hair as he leaned back on his chair. Eunhyun raised her eyebrow as she leaned in, "Have you actually been studying?". Chanyeol puffed out his cheeks pretending to be upset, "Am I not capable of studying? Seriously." He crossed his arms and closed his eyes, looking to the left.

Afraid of Chanyeol being upset, Eunhyun waved her hands rapidly, cold sweat forming on her forehead. "N-no! That wasn't what I meant." Chanyeol opened one of his eye to peek at Eunhyun, smiling that he caused her to be flustered. "I'll forgive you if you give me a kiss.".

Eunhyun pouted cutely before leaning her face to his, "F-fine." Eunhyun halted her movements when she heard soft footsteps coming their direction. Chanyeol shut his eyes in utter disappointed and glared at Taemi dragging her soulless with a bottle of water in her hand. Eunhyun stood up and clapped her hands once, "Okay guys we have a week left!"
