"Heh, normally I'm the one who's slacking off in gym class. I guess I rubbed off on you Jongin," Baekhyun jokes.
"Because we need to talk about this! This is serious!" I plead. "Plus Coach Lee isn't even looking."
He sighs. "Fiiiine I'll listen, but I'll still keep a lookout for him."
"Thanks. Now back to what I was saying, I don't think I'm overreacting when I say that we should watch out for Sehun and Y/N!"
"You're seriously stressing over your little crush falling for a dumb jock? I think you are overreacting."
"I- I don't have a crush on her!!" I say, and I'm technically telling the truth because, I hate to admit it, but it's more than just a crush. "Ugh, I knew I should've talked to Kyungsoo or Lucas first instead..."
"Haha, hey now. I'm just pulling your leg. How about you tell me why you think we need to watch out for them."
"It's... complicated. Let's just say that a nice girl like Y/N fell for him before, and he used her and it really hurt her."
"Ah, and you're scared that that same thing will happen to her."
"I'm terrified of that happening to her, and it seems like that's his plan. Remember last week at lunch when—"
"KIM!! BYUN!! YOUR TALKING IS DISTRACTING YOU FROM YOUR STRETCHES!!" We look up and see the gym teacher looming over us.
"Oh yeah? Well these stretches are getting in the way of our talking," Baekhyun retorts back, hopping up on his feet and glowering directly into Coach Lee's eyes. Can he not?
"Well then, it seems like you and your friend wouldn't mind running 15 laps??"
"Nope! We wouldn't mind at all~" Baekhyun says, and strolls right out the gym door to the field.
I just stand there, surprised once again at my "friend's" stupidity. I look back and forth at the door and at Coach Lee, mouth and eyes wide open.
"Well, you heard him... 15 LAPS KIM!! NOW!!" he barks.
I scurry out of the building and onto the track where Baekhyun is waiting.
"Nice job wise guy!!" I shout as I'm approaching him. "I have to run laps because of you and your smart mouth!"
He gestures at our surroundings and says, "well if it weren't for my 'smart mouth', we wouldn't have all of this privacy to discuss what we need to."
"Huh... that's true."
He smirks. "There's a method to my madness~"
"But anyway, as I was saying," I begin as we start running. "Do you remember last week at lunch when I had to leave from the table?"
"Yeah, I do. You also seemed pretty on edge before that."
"That's because Sehun sent his guys to do something to Y/N— three of them were circled around her. I don't know what they were trying to do, but I know it could not have been good."
Baekhyun thought for a moment— I can see the concentration on his face as he jogs. Then, he finally says, "okay, I'm in. I'll help you protect her from Sehun, but I honestly don't think we have to worry about her going ga ga over him."
"Huh? What do you mean?" I ask. "He's the typical 'school heartthrob'. Ya know, every girl's dream."
"Just think about it, Y/N's a nice girl, and Sehun is just a rude, cocky asshat— we can see it from how he treats you, and what he tried to do to her last week."
