SEHUN'S POV

Luhan is so cute when he smiles.

But, how come every time I look at him he never smiles?

He doesn't like me, that's why?

I turn back and notice Baekhyun just staring at Chanyeol.

"Hi" I wave at Baekhyun.

He's startled and smiles at me; then leaves quickly.

Well, that was odd. Baekhyun is a very talkative person not to say a word.

I look at Chanyeol. He looks upset.

"Hey is it just me or is there something going on between you and Baekhyun?"

I ask him and he quickly shakes his head. Does he think I'm stupid?

"Okay. If you say so." I tell him. He just smiles and looks away.

"Really, it's um I don't know- I just met him. I don't even know much about him."

I sigh, "He's a really cool guy. He's smart, funny, and has a really nice voice. I've known him since elementary school and he's always been quiet. In 9th grade, he started to be more friendly and talkative to others beside his group of friends."

Chanyeol just listens and nods. "Ah good to know. I guess I shouldn't overthink about him not saying hi to me, right? After all, I did try that joke I told you earlier but it didn't go so well."

"What do you mean?" I ask and he told me what happened during first period.

I laugh at him and he pouts.

"Sorry, but how did that happen?"

"I got really nervous... It's not because I like him or anything. I'm not good at talking to people, especially people my age." He tells me but I don't believe him.

"Okay, that's good that you don't like him that way because he likes my step-brother." Oh shit.

I cover my mouth and my eyes widen.

"What?" He asks me.

"You did not hear that," I tell him.

"Yes, I did." He gives my grin. Damn it, if Baekhyun finds out I spilled some tea he will never trust me again.

"You can't spill, ok? Do it for Baekhyun, he doesn't want my step-brother to know." I point at him.

"Okay, okay. I don't even know him. Is your step-brother in college or is he younger?"

"You might see him around, he's in the same grade as us. He is also turning seventeen in November."

Chanyeol's eye widen, "Oh uh he- he goes here too?"

I nod. "Yeah, he doesn't like me."

"Why?"

"It's um it's a long story."

I look at Chanyeol and see him thinking.

"Do um... D-do you um I don't know... wanna go and um get bubble tea after school? You can tell me about it? I'll pay."

I smile," Sure, do you wanna go to the park after and help me practice for my soccer tryouts?'

He nods.

Great
