Tomorrow With You (ChanBaek)

Chapter Twenty Four

The tip of his pen brushed through the lines of Baekhyun's notebook. He's on his sixth star, sketching while staring blankly at his strokes.

Baekhyun

Baekhyun

"Baekhyun."

He stopped drawing when his presence was brought back to Ms. Bae and his classmates who are staring at him.

"Baekhyun," Ms. Bae called. "you're needed at the principal's office."

"Huh, ohh.. why?" Ms. Bae stared at him, stating the obvious and Baekhyun just closed his notebook and stood up.

"Ms. Bae?" Min Jae raised his hand. "Can I go with him?"

"I don't think the school director needs you."

"Can I atleast go?"

"I won't allow it."

Baekhyun looked at Min Jae and gave a weak smile before walking towards the door.

Closing the door behind, he started walking the long hallway towards the principal's office. His phone vibrated to Chanyeol's text messages. He's been receiving his messages ever since he landed on California but he kept on avoiding them.

■ Baekhyun..

■ Baekhyun-ahh..

■ Why aren't you answering my calls?

■ Are you sick?

■ Call me when you get better.

He turned off his phone after reading the recent messages from Chanyeol. The door of Principal Jung's office is right infront of him. It took him a few moments before knocking and twisting the knob.

"Principal Jung?"

"Ahh.. Byun Baekhyun. Come in." Principal Jung said.

He walked inside the office and closed the door behind him. Principal Jung signaled for him to walk towards him at his desk and Baekhyun slowly followed the instruction.

"Sit down." Principal Jung pointed to the chair infront of his desk.

"Uhmm.. why am I called here?" Baekhyun asked.

"Mr. Park called," Baekhyun felt shivers down his spine upon hearing his name. "he said that he needed you to do something for him. He wanted you here at the principal's office so other students won't have to see you outside. We don't do special treatments here in this school."

Principal Jung winked at him and he felt annoyed by the way he talks. He felt disturbed by the way he romanticize his wrong doings.

"W-what do I have to do?"

"He didn't tell me. He just wanted you here at the office."

Principal Jung's phone rang and immediately picked it up. After a few exchanges of answers, he turned his phone off and walked towards the door.

"Wait here."

Baekhyun was left alone inside the office wandering through the interior while waiting for Principal Jung to come back. He heard the door opened.

"Principal Jung I.." Baekhyun's voice was cut as if someone took his tongue out from his mouth. He looked at the door with horror in his eyes.

"W-what are you.. doing here..?"

His eyes couldn't blink, his hands are twitching and he felt his whole body shaking to the sight of an all too familiar boy standing infront of the door.
