Walking in the school building always took a toll on me. Recently the strain I usually had pushing the heavy doors open was reduced due to a friendly giant I decided a associate myself with a few years ago. To be exact, this friendly giant went by the name Chanyeol. He was my bestfriend, "How you feelin'?" Chanyeol asked me, I looked at him dumbfounded, "What are you talking about Chan?" I asked him making my way through the hallway. He stopped me, "Baekhyun, are you feeling well? You left school yesterday with student leave, you said you felt nauseas." he lent down until he was about my height, looking me in the eyes, worry written all over his face. "Oh that-" I started, shimming out of his group and continuing my way through the twisty halls, "I just felt sick, I guess it was just anxiety." I shrugged. That was a lie, but I couldn't tell him the real reason I had to leave class yesterday. I did feel sick yes, and it could have had something to do with my anxiety. I couldn't tell the giant the reason I had to leave was entirely him. The way he was playing around with Kai, whos real name is Jongin, made me nauseas, I could tell Kyungsoo had the same reaction. So I claimed I felt sick and since I didn't drive, I asked Soo if he would like to take me home, which he smiled and nodded.

I could have asked Chanyeol. He had a car parked right outside the building but I think if he would have drove me I would have through up my lunch all over his dashboard. "Are you sure? You were like- really pale." That's because I knew he would never want me. "I'm fine Yoda." What hurt me most yesterday was when I asked Soo, he nodded but Chanyeol jumped in and said he would take me and I turned him down. He looked so upset. "Baekhyun I could have taken you home too, you know." He deadpanned. I stopped dead in my tracks, not looking away from the floor, not listening when the giant called my name. "You were having fun with Jongin, I didn't want to disturb you, so I asked Kyungsoo." I responded sternly. I looked up to meet his eyes. He looked... Hurt?

"Oh, I see... Why didn't Soo come back to school after he dropped you off at home?" Chanyeol questioned, and I just shrugged, "He was taking care of me. He is a really great guy, Jongin is lucky to have him." I sighed. Again, Chanyeol looked hurt. "Yeolie are you okay?" I looked up at the Giant, he shrugged. "Yoda? what's the matter?" he didn't answer but continued to walk on to class. I sped up until I was in front of him and put my hands on his chest to stop him from moving forward, I could feel his muscles through his shirt and it made me want to faint, right when and there. "Baek, please, I am no longer in the mood." he tried to move away, "Chanyeol-ah I refuse to let you not tell me, your bestfriend, what is wrong with you." Chanyeol sighed, I think he has given in. "Baek we are still bestfriends right?" I smiled, "Yoda, what kind of question is that? Of course we are, I would never replace you." he smiled, "I wont ever replace you either, Baek," he put his hands on his hips and stuck his chest out, like the superman pose. I rolled my eyes, "Dork. Come on Yeol, class awaits us." I snapped my fingers and he was instantly following me.

 As Chanyeol and I made our way to our classroom, we made note of all the couples in our school that have gotten together because of us. The first we saw standing by their lockers were Jongin and Kyungsoo, Kyungsoo was looking up at his boyfriend passionately while Jongin was getting his book for the day. When Jongin looked at Soo, he immediately looked away. Too nervous by his own boyfriend to look him in the eyes. Jongin has always been the player type, he never really stuck to one person. The day that Jongin came to Chanyeol and confessed he had a huge crush of the chubby cheeked boy we all knew as Do Kyungsoo, as you could guess- I was ecstatic. Kyungsoo had always been the shy type, he would never admit to Jongin that he had loved him for over two years. 

Being the amazing friend I was, I went and spoke to Jongin the day we found out his heart belonged to the tiny Soo. When I approached Jongin he seemed shocked, I usually didn't approach him without being accompanied by someone else, but I figured this had to be done alone. We had a normal conversation and I casually mentioned Kyungsoo. He instantly tuned into the talk. I told him how Kyungsoo was simple, and was down recently because a certain boy would never love him, nor would anyone. So Jongin asked me what kind of things Kyungsoo liked. That's when everything fell in place, I told him that Soo was old school. He liked being asked out the old fashioned way, in person, with flowers nothing extravagant. Then I causally mentioned Soo disliked red roses, the cliché, but he loved the way sunflowers looked. The next day Kai asked out Kyungsoo in the cafeteria with a bouquet of Sunflowers.
