Better, Best, and Byun Baekhyun [KAIBAEK / CHANBAEK]

"I heard they broke up."
"I thought they already did?"
"Maybe they made it official."
"There must be a third party."

Ignoring the whispers of the students that are meant to be heard, Baekhyun acted composed and unbothered as he walk his way to his class. When he went to Chanyeol yesterday, he noticed that some students eyed them, looking curious, but he didn't pay that much attention thinking that they wouldn't contribute in solving his break-up with Chanyeol.

His appearance didn't help at pushing them away. Baekhyun's eyes are swollen as a result from a heavy overnight crying because of what happened, and he just somewhat radiates a weak energy.

At this moment, he just want to know if Chanyeol is fine with all these suffocating gossips around. Baekhyun likes to believe that he's not a weak and sensitive person that would be hardly affected by all of these, but who wouldn't be annoyed if everyone meddles in your life as if they don't have a life of their own?

The moment he entered his class, his classmates stop what they're doing and looked at him with full of concern, but their faces were asking for an explanation in which Baekhyun doesn't plan of giving. He sat on his chair, plugged in his earphones, and left the world for a while with the music as his companion.

He knows that Chanyeol wouldn't talk to him anymore, but he still needs answers. When did he fell out of love? How exactly did he fell out of love? What made him lose his interest to Baekhyun? Did he even fight the thouht of leaving Baekhyun?

"Hey, do you know how to balance this?", his classmate asked while poking Baekhyun's shoulder. Baekhyun, then, removed his earphones and look at the problem that was asked to him.

"I don't." want to engage myself with you. Baekhyun didn't even look at the problem.

"This is just a simple problem though."

"Then why ask me?" Baekhyun irritatedly look at his classmate who's currently trying to solve the problem on one of their subjects.

"You might as well find another degree to enroll yourself in if you can't balance your priorities, and of course, this basic problem." For some weird reasons, Baekhyun was thankful that he doesn't know him nor have any connections with him because he wouldn't be able to handle his arrogant and rude attitude.

"Yeah, sure. Thank you for your unsolicited advice." Baekhyun sarcastically responded as he put plugged in his earphones again. This is why earphones are important.

As much as he want to forget his classmate's words, Baekhyun remained bothered by it. Being an accountancy student is both challenging and exciting. Some people thought that they are the math wizards, when in fact, they're not. It's actually the engineers, like Chanyeol. The accountants would only use the basic math equations, their english and analytical skills.

Actually, accountancy is the combination of logic and sense.

Baekhyun has no other dream than to finish his accountancy degree and all things related to it will follow. He knows that his course is one of the toughest and has high expectations from the society, but Baekhyun had already claimed that he'll be a recognized accountant someday.

He sighed before turning back to reality again.

Walking with his mind on somewhere else, Baekhyun suddenly stopped. He roamed his eyes in the hallways to check if someone like a mushroom is secretly following him. Not that he wants to see Jongin, Baekhyun needs a companion.
