ELEVEN

Baekhyun sat happily down in the booth that he had found, while his friends were ordering their drinks and cakes.

It was a little bit further away from the counter and the other booths. It overlooked the park that was located right next door and allowed just enough sunshine through the blinds that Baekhyun grinned and cuddled more into the soft cushions.

His strawberry flavoured bubble-tea sat untouched on the table, the cold drink meeting the warm weather resulting in the small droplets of water to cascade slowly down the side. Baekhyun watched as they raced each other to the dark wood of the table. His finger came up and disrupted a couple of the droplets journeys, forcing the drops to change direction to his fingerprint.

"Alright so what do you want to talk about?" Kyungsoo questioned with a sigh, his hands dropping from the sides of the tray which carried his drink and cake on.

Baekhyun raised a brow in confusion "I don't have anything to talk about, why would you think something like that?"

"Oh you want me to tell you why I know there is something wrong with you?" Kyungsoo wondered, his index and thumb reaching to the macroon that was placed perfectly ontop of the purple frosted cake. Taking the sweet treat between the two digits Kyungsoo drew them back to his lips. The macroon disappearing behind his big heart shaped muscles. "You never drag us here on a Friday and order just a strawberry tea. You usually drag us here on a Thursday and order a blueberry shake and a oreo cupcake, so I know something is eating at your mind today".

Baekhyun lowered his head in shame. "Am I that easy to read?" His voice came out just above a whisper that had Kyungsoo cracking a smile once his small ears had picked up the noise.

"A little" he admitted with a nod, his hand fallening to hold onto his friends, in a reassuring manner. "But don't worry, I've known you a little longer than the other two so I'm the only one who can".

Baekhyun felt a soft weight lift from his shoulders as he smiled at the boy who grinned back with just as much warmth as he had put out.

"Besides it's not very uncommon Baekhyun, you have alot on your mind with this entire Spiderman, Deadpool slash Chanyeol thing"

Baekhyun praised Kyungsoo for keeping his voice low after spilling the last bit of the sentence. He had to admit that his best friend was correct. In more ways than one. Kyungsoo was right, Baekhyun was emotionally and mentally tired with everything that had been going on in his life, over the past couple of days. Some times he wishes that he had never decided to become a superhero. But he gets slapped back into reality when all the good things that he had brought with him from his daily life into his hero life. Like his compassion and his respect to others.

"So, guys I have been told from my swimming coach that there are competitions coming up and he's expecting me to attend them" Minseok announced, carefully placing the filled baozi plate down on the table, as he slid in next to Kyungsoo in the booth.

"That's great news Min" Luhan cheered, his balled fist being raised into the air, in a 'fighting' gesture.

"The bad news is that it's in China"

Baekhyun literally felt like he was slapped with a fish. China? His best friend was going to China, which meant that there was no way possible that they would be able to attend the matches and support him.

"Min this is your time to shine, you love swimming you're practically a fish!" Kyungsoo chuckled patting the eldest on his shoulder.

"This is an amazing opportunity for you Min, you should take it" Baekhyun grinned rubbing his hands together in excitement. His friends giggling at him for the similar actions he did to a fly.
