The Bruised Bus Boy

The Change Over Time

Days have passed, Chanyeol's routine consisting of the same steps.

Groaning at the sound of his alram, reluctantly getting out of bed, complaining that his roommate stole his car (even though he planned to ride the bus anyways) and 'having no choice' but to go to the bus stop.

Why had his routine been this way? Well, Chanyeol didn't want to admit it, but today was different.

So, today, he'll say why he changed over the course of just a couple days.

The reason is a small blonde boy he'd met by accident on the bus he had no choice but to ride.

A seventeen year old highschool student that gets bullied.

The bruised bus boy named Byun Baekhyun.

Yeah. That about sums it up.

Chanyeol has accepted the fact that he rides the bus everyday for Baekhyun. Just to see him.

He hasn't talked to the kid since they first met, but he felt that just being in the mere presence of the boy was enough.

Chanyeol had figured out that Baekhyun definitely only rides the bus for school, proof being that Baekhyun wasn't on the bus Saturday or Sunday.

Chanyeol was slightly disappointed those two days of the week. But it was only expected that Baekhyun wouldn't be out and about when there was no need for him to be.

It was currently Wednesday morning and Chanyeol had gotten up early, even though he didn't need to get ready for work.

Instead, Chanyeol had some plans for today.

He got out of bed and dressed in something casual since there was no need for a suit and tie.

He had pulled out a yellow t-shirt and some ripped jeans from the closet in his room, before changing out of his pajama.

Afterwards, he made his way out of his room and down the stairs, towards the kitchen, where he was sure to find Sehun.

Sehun was usually up about this time eating breakfast before heading off to campus.

So, Chanyeol wasn't surprised to see Sehun at the dining table eating a bowl of cereal. But, what he was surprised to see, was someone sitting on Sehun's lap.

Chanyeol's eyes widen as he froze in his spot by the table.

The female on his lap, glanced at Chanyeol, face growing from surprise to flustered.

Chanyeol didn't know Sehun was seeing anyone. Or has flings.

"Sehun-ah... let me go." Chanyeol heard the brunette whisper as she began to pull at Sehun's arms.

Sehun glanced up and looked back a bit. His eyes widened when he saw Chanyeol and quickly removed the girl from his lap and stood up.

Sehun stared at Chanyeol, his hand holding the brunette's. Chanyeol awkwardly glanced between the short haired female and his roommate.

She spoke up first, "Uh, I guess I should get going. Bye Sehun-ah." The female placed a quick kiss on Sehun's cheek before looking at Chanyeol and bowing slightly.

Chanyeol only stared.

"Ah, let me walk you out." Sehun gave Chanyeol a look, before rushing off after the female. Chanyeol, knowing what the look meant, pulled himself together and moved to sit at the dinning table.

It didn't take long for Sehun to return to the table. He didn't sit down though, instead, he had his hands in front and began to fidget with his fingers, his head hung down.
