(DISCONTINUED) When the Clock Strikes Nine [Baekhyun, D.O, Chanyeol Fanfiction]

8: Now what

Author's POV

Hyangsoon's eyes widen the moment she saw Baekhyun with her first crush, Kyungsoo. He stood still, jaw hanging and eyes widening.

"H-Hyangsoon?"

She immediately snapped out from her thoughts and blinked multiple of times. She remained silent, but her expression is normal now.

Baekhyun went to her and smiled weakly. He hugged her tightly and lovingly. But being the normal girl Hyangsoon was, she never felt his endless love of a real man.

Hyangsoon managed to get out from his warm hug. Not that she didn't like it, but she doesn't want it. She only looked at Baekhyun as a friend. Nothing more, nothing less. And that made Baekhyun's heart ache.

Baekhyun bit his lip and looked down. He then turned to Kyungsoo and decided to introduce him to her. He never knew Hyangsoon and Kyungsoo knew each other.

"Nice to meet you again, Hyangsoon."

"K-Kyungsoo-oppa.."

Baekhyun's POV

Wait... They know each other?

"You know each other?" I asked them in a confused expression. Hyangsoon simply nodded.

"She happened to be the daughter of my mom's best friend. So I know her. But we're not close." Kyungsoo explained calmly. Oh... Okay... Well, I'm not amused because their families are bussiness people.

"Oh.. So that's why.." I said and smiled.

"Anyways, what makes you here, Hyangsoon?" I asked her nicely. But, she gave me a suspicious face. This is not the very first time she gave me suspicious faces but, this one.... this time... she seems cold. What did I do wrong?

"H-Hyangs---"

"Did you really do that?" she quickly cut me off. I gave her a confused look.

"What do you m--"

"Tell me the truth." she said. Her eyes were filled with mixtures of confusion, blankness, and anger. I guess she's referring to when I punched Chanyeol.. So she was informed, huh?

There was a silence. But it wasn't awkward. Just plain silence.

"If you mean by that and you think of it like that, then you got it all wrong." I was surprised when Kyungsoo-sunbae spoke. His voice was calm. I turned to him, eyes a bit wide. Then he walked forward to us. Hyangsoon remained silent, waiting for a further explanation.

"True," he paused.

"Baekhyun did punched Chanyeol. But what do you think made Baekhyun do something like that?" he questioned her. Hyangsoon furrowed her eyebrows.

"Baekhyun is kind of short-tempered, right?" He said and she remained speechless. Kyungsoo, what are you trying to say?

"If you're really his friend, you should ask him nicely and don't jump into conclusions. Doesn't mean he punched someone you love doesn't mean he's the bad guy here. Chanyeol pissed him off. Obviously, being a quite short-tempered guy, Baekhyun punched him. Makes sense, right?" he explained for me...

Hyangsoon calmed down. She looked down.

"But... how did you know that I like Chanyeol?" she asked emotionlessly.

"Based on your tone when you confronted Baekhyun." he responsed.

"Oh... I see...." she finally looked up to me and sighed.

"Baekhyun, I'm sorry.." she apologized, almost shedding a tear.

"N-No. You don't have to apologize.. I-I'm supposed to be the one apologizing--And I'm sorry about that! Haha~!" I said cheerfully to bring her mood up, and hopefully, her mood lighten.

"Baekhyun, you're so kind..." she smiled and walked towards me. Then......... she hugged me tight.

Dear God.... am I already in heaven?

So this is how you feel when someone you love hugs you.. You feel like there are butterflies inside your stomach...

To my joy, I wrapped my arms around her torso, hugging her back. I saw Kyungsoo-sunbae smile and left the two of us.

I blushed.

Oh how I wish we could stay like this forever...

Chanyeol's POV

"Chanyeol-ah~" said Yong-Ik for the 12345678910th fucking time. I rolled my eyes and and stepped hardly on his foot.

"Chanyeo---AHHHH!!!!! YA PARK CHANYEOL!! WHY DID YOU STEP ON MY ALMIGHTY FOOT!!! WAAAAAHHHHHH!" then he started crying like a baby.

"Aish, shut up, Yong-Ik. You're annoying the hell out of me." I said lazily as I play chess with myself. I moved my white queen beside black pawn, checkmating the black empire. My eyes shifted to my white queen, and I stared at it for a moment.. Wait... why am I staring at it? Aish, Park Chanyeol. I shook my head to remove the pointless fucking thoughts away.

"Whoa whoa whoa there~ Dude, what's with that pointless shook?" Yong Ik raised an eyebrow. I breathed deeply and stood up, stretching my arms in the fucking air. I bring my bag with me and startes jogging off.

"Ya! Where are you go--"

"You comin' or what?!" I yelled back at him as I jog out from the room to the school field. It was around 5:00 and I bet nobody's here except the two of us, some teachers, and of course, guards. I left my bag on the short-cut grass, then I stretched my legs. Yong-Ik followed me and finally understood what I meant earlier.

"How many laps?" he asked.

"As far as how your feet can go." I smirked and we went to out places. I was on the left and he, on the right side. We positioned ourselves and any second later, both of us shouted 'HANA, DUL, SET!' then we dashed around the field. At first, he was taking the lead, but I became faster and I took the first place in the first lap. But that doesn't end it, we continued until 5 laps. I won on the first, fourth, and fifth laps, while he, won the rest. The last winner will be the victor. And so, I won.

I panted and sweat a LOT. I took off my fucking top and grabbed the water he offered.

"You're always the winner no matter how hard I try." he sighed and smirked. I continued to pant. I took my white towel inside my bag and wiped off my sweat all over my upper body. Just then, I saw two people walking towards our direction. I blinked many times and noriced that the guy is Baekhyun and the woman is... uhh... I forgot. But I know that she's an actress. I turned to Yong-Ik and gave him a sign that somebody's coming. And so he moved his head west and saw the two people. I wiped the sweat on my nape down to my chest, looking at the girl fiercely. Finally, they stopped in front of us.

"What do you want?" Yong-Ik asked them with a little bit of respecr but raised an eyebrow.

"W-We... J-Just.." she paused, looking at me then she looked away. I gave her a confused face, but I know that she wants to see my abs. Heh. Girls are like that. As if I don't know.

To not keep her glancing at my body, I put on my plain black shirt and rolled my eyes. It's an extra shirt by the way.

"Now what." I scoffed. She cleared her throat and started speaking.

"I....."
