See You Again (ChanBaek)

xiii

I'm going to apologize now for any stupid typos. My autocorrect was killing me. I'm not sure if I caught all of the errors.

The next morning, Baekhyun stood in front of the school he would be attending for then next semester and stared. He just stood there, reading the name of the school tacked on in a shiny sans serif font. Why am I even here? What is even going on?

He, of course, is early. There are barely any students on campus, so Baekhyun made himself comfortable on a bench. Well, as comfortable as one could be on a cold metal bench with no back rest. Cheap.

It was only when he pulled out his phone that he realized that the frenemies chat was blowing up again.

It seemed that everyone was on, and when Baekhyun actually did a head count, he realized that Kyungsoo was in fact missing.

Jongin was the first to notice Baekhyun.

Hi! Are you excited? :)

No, not really. I'm already at the school, actually. Where are all of you?

On the bus.

The same bus?

Not all of us.

I hope that you're in a few of my classes. As of now, I don't see any one of these fools until sixth, excluding lunch, of course.

Aw, that's a pity.

Baekhyun!!!

Of course, that was none other than Kim Jongdae.

'Sup Baek?

Minseok.

...

And of course, Chanyeol would have nothing to say.

Ew, what is he doing here?

Never mind. Baekhyun would perfer Chanyeol's reaction over Kyungsoo's any day.

Yah! Kyungsoo, be nice!

Actually, just be nicer.

Baekhyun smiled. Jongdae would always stick up for him.

Speaking of Jongdae... Baekhyun swore that he just heard his voice...

"Byun Baekhyun!"

Baekhyun grunted as Jongdae barreled into him, sweeping him up in a massive hug. "I can't believe it's already been a month!" His words were slightly muffled by his scarf. "Time flies!"

Baekhyun hummed in agreement as his phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out and slipped it back promptly when he realized it was from Chanyeol. Jongdae didn't need to know Chanyeol was texting him.

The wait was short, as Jongdae had a bad attention span and a lot of friends. As soon as his back was turned, Baekhyun pulled out his phone again.

Hey, did I hurt you much last month? I forgot to ask last night.

I'm really sorry.
