I Wished For You

Tornado Spiral

"Who the hell do you think you are?" Baekhyun snapped as soon as they exited the hospital building.

He was shocked and angry. Although he saw his bad health coming, he didn't fucking think it would be this bad and he would be damned if he let it get to him (which was quite contrary to Baekhyun's behaviour earlier but that was a spur of the moment thing!) What angered him was Park Chanyeol's casualness.

He was being so...easy about everything. It didn't sit right with Baekhyun.

"Why? What's wrong?"

"What's wrong is that I don't want your fucking pity and I don't need you to speak for me."

"But—"

Three hours ago

Baekhyun was almost done with his lecture. He was eyeing the clock and waited as it neared 1:40 PM.

His phone vibrated where it lay on his desk and he checked it discretely, careful of the professor catching him.

Mr Han was a great teacher but he didn't tolerate indiscipline in his class and Baekhyun wasn't about to get himself into trouble just because he was too impatient.

He picked up the phone and casually brought it to his lap, sitting up straighter to check the screen.

Text Message from Park Chanyeol

Baekhyun blinked in confusion.

Did something happen? Was Park cancelling? What if he had a match or something? No wait it wasn't the season for that. Did he have a class then? Why was he texting Baekhyun?

Baekhyun gave up on his mind's ever growing train of questions and thumbed in on the button to unlock the device.

Park Chanyeol: will be outside by 2

Baekhyun breathed out in relief and texted back a simple reply.

Okay

Mr Han was a wonderful teacher but he tended to stretch his class past the designated time. Sometimes it was really fruitful, like when they were in the middle of understanding a concept but other times, when Mr Han had nothing to do, he liked to extend the class past the finish time simply to discuss their upcoming assignments.

An absolute bummer.

Baekhyun was already squirming in his seat. It was 1:55 PMand he was pretty sure he was going to be late.

As soon as class was dismissed, god bless Henry's soul who continuously cribbed about not being let off on time so Mr Han had to finally let them go, Baekhyun all but ran.

Even though the architecture block was closer to the university gates, he was still quite far from them on foot. He slowed down after a one minute sprint and panted continuously as he tried to maintain a brisk pace.

Baekhyun checked the time on his phone and cursed. He was running a whole 15 minutes late dammit!

He never asked to be in this situation! Why must he suffer? Park Chanyeol was Kim Jongin's friend and be was making the absolute worst impressions! He was literally dying the first time Park Chanyeol met him without his usual company and now, Baekhyun was running late! Just his damned luck.

When he finally came onto the roadside outside of the university, panting and haggard, he scanned the area for a black Jeep Wrangler and found it parked not too far off on the other side of the road. Baekhyun carefully crossed the road and scrunched his brows in confusion when he saw that it was...empty? Why?
