Childhood friends

Whatever

"Hey Tao- What happened?!" He turned around and looked into Kris' shocked eyes "What, what?" He asked and as Kris touched his cheek, he winched in pain "Oh that" Tao's father had slapped him, for not having manners, when he was presented to his father's co-workers or whatever they were. It's not like he was rude or anything, he was just emotionless, and not as outgoing as he should be

"It's nothing. I'm fine" Tao said, with a smile as his hand covered his cheek. Kris stared at him for a bit, making him uncomfortable, because he knew Tao was lying "It's your father right?"
Tao didn't say anything and just stared down on the road, as they walked towards the school. Tao didn't really care about the wound or whatever though, he had other things to worry about, the tests next week, his dreams that he thinks represents their future.

In all them, they're always older than they are now and for now, his dreams are either like that or wet dreams. When they arrived at school, Kris' girl, called Somi or something, Tao didn't really pay attention when Kris told him. He was too busy with looking at his cheerful expression and being jealous that she made him that way, and not Tao. Well at least it wasn't like the last girlfriend Kris had, where he "accidentally" called her bitch. She deserved it though, she was so clingy, and Tao wasn't able to be near Kris, what a pain.

Somi was somehow more chill, but that doesn't mean Tao accepts her, not at all. Why is he so popular? Why can't it just be Tao who sees him as perfect?! Tao went to his class, followed by Somi who was also in that class. Pain!!! "Hey Tao what's with the dark aura today?" Johnny asked. Tao looked into Johnny's eyes and pierced his soul.
"Nothing" Tao answered and looked outside Fuck Somi he thought.

At lunch, he and the group of friends aka Kris, Johnny, Taeyong, Sicheng, Yuta, Baekhyun, Kai, and literally the whole soccer team sat at the table. Tao really only considered the named guys as close friends. But the reason why he is mentioning this is obviously because of the fact that Somi sat at their table too!.... but could you blame her? Yes! "Tao, wanna study at my house after school?" Kris asked him "Yeah. Why did you even ask?"
"Just to be sure" he said with a small smile before focusing on his food again.
"Hey Tao" Baekhyun started, who was sitting beside him "Mhm?" Tao asked looked over at him "Why did you reject Doyeon?"
"Doyeon?"
"The girl from my class who confessed to you a couple of days ago" Kris explained to him and Tao felt a lightbulb go off in his head "Oooooh her!" he said
"Why?" Tao asked with a questioned look "Cause I thought you were looking for a girlfriend" Baekhyun shrugged, and Tao shrugged as well "Well, she was not my type-"
"That's a lie!" Somi interrupted and Tao rolled his eyes at her accidentally. Couldn't she shut up?! Why did she care? "What?" Tao half spat at her, as he glared at her "I'm her friend you know"
"So?" Tao was getting annoyed, and he knew that the others could see it. It's not that he has a bad temper, and gets angry a lot. It's quite the opposite, and when he gets mad, well his friends know to not go near him or start a fight. They've learned that the hard "She told me what you said when you rejected her" she spat at him and he rolled his eyes again and leaned back with crossed arms "So? Is it really important?!" The others at the table stopped whatever they were doing, and even Kris was sitting there glancing between the two, and wondered if he should stop Tao or Somi.

"What did you say?" Baekhyun asked, and the rest of the table wished Baekhyunhadn't asked, because well let's just see what happened. Tao turned to Baekhyun and said "Nothi-"
"He said if it had been different he wouldn't have rejected her, what the fuck Tao?!" she said and stood, and Tao saw how Kris gently took his hands around her wrist and whispered "Somi, just stop now" but she wriggled his hand off, and he muttered a small "fuck"

"Why are you so pissed Somi?!" Tao yelled at her also standing up, and Baekhyun and Johnny who had been sitting beside him retreated. They didn't want to deal with a pissed off Tao "Why the fuck does it matter why I rejected her?! If I don't love her I don't!" He yelled and Kris gulped at sight and tried again to make Somi sit that, but obviously, she didn't know that Tao was dangerous when he was pissed
