"Can I go home yet?"

Luhan turned to him with a confused, scrunched up look. "Baek, we've only just got here"

Baekhyun slumped down into his chair while he dreaded the moment when Chanyeol walks through that classroom door. He wanted to hide his himself from the embarrassment.

Do I act like normal? Like nothing ever happened?

"Are you seriously okay?" Jongdae asked again while watching the boy chew his fingernails off.

"Sure" that's not how you answer that question Baekhyun "I mean, yeah I'm great"

"You don't look so great" Luhan said shaking his head.

After a moment too of chatter in the uni classroom, the door opened and Baekhyun immediately closed his eyes tight. Pleasepleasepleaseohplease.

When he peaked through one eye, he noticed it wasn't even Chanyeol at all, just another student he hadn't even spoken to before. He took his seat and Baekhyun relaxed a bit again.

"Dude what happened last night?" Jongdae asked, hand on Baekhyun's shoulder.

"What do you mean last night?" Luhan interrupted before the boy could speak.

"I called him and he was acting weird. Just like now" jongdae narrowed his eyes at Baekhyun who wasn't even paying attention but staring at the entrance door. "Something must have happened to freak him out."

Luhan changed to concern as he cupped Baekhyun's face in his hands and forced him to face him. For some reason he didn't want to peak his eyes away from the door.

After Baekhyun finally gave in, he forced his best smile to try and convince his friend he was ok.

"Baekkie, are you sure nothing is wrong? We're here for you, you know"

"I know but–"

The door opened and someone walked in. Baekhyun froze in the spot, too afraid to look again. But from the corner of his eyes he could tell that someone was tall and was definitely waking this way up.

"Please keep talking to me" Baekhyun whispered

"What?" Luhan said before turning to see Chanyeol taking his seat in front of them "oh hey Chanyeol" Luhan smiled.

The taller looked around like he wasn't expecting a greeting. "Hey" he replied anyway, with the most beautiful smile.

Luhan pulled his hands away from Baekhyun's face, letting slip back o his previous potion. He saw Chanyeol skim his eyes over to him before he sat down facing the front of the class.

Baekhyun sighed. I want to go home..

When it came to Lunch, Baekhyun sat in the cafeteria with Jongdae, Luhan and Kyungsoo as usual. But there was no Chanyeol.
