because of her || baekhyun

Chapter 1: "Let's break up"

Baekhyun's POV

"Let's end this." Jennie breathed.

I glanced at her. "What?"

"Let's break up." Jennie said once more, picking up her bag, preparing to leave.

I widened my eyes. "Why? Why are you doing this?"

Jennie scanned me from head to toe.

"Baekhyun, look at yourself. My friends have been making fun of me ever since we started dating." Jennie gasped, clenching her fists. "I've put up with your stupid appearance for the past year."

My mouth moved, but nothing came out. My eyes started to sting but I blinked.

"So just because your friends talk bad about me to you, you're gonna leave me just like this?" I cried out, my blood starting to boil. "What's wrong with me, Jennie? What's wrong with me?!"

Jennie turned her back towards me, her head tilted slightly to me. "You're ugly Baekhyun."

Then she turned her back completely and walked away, leaving me devastated.

I ran my hand through my hair, unable to believe what she said.

Just because I have messy and curly hair, wear large white spectacles, and wear old clothes over and over again, she broke up with me?

I plonked myself on the bench and scrunched myself up in a tight ball, tears started to uncontrollably roll down my cheeks.

I dug out my phone from my duffel bag, and dialed a number.

Putting it to my ear, I listened as the soft humming sound came to an end.

"Hello?"

"Chanyeol, it's all over."

"What? What's over?"

I took in a deep breath, choking back my tears.

"Baekhyun...Are you crying?"

I sniffed. "Jennie dumped me. It's all over."

There was silence on the phone, except for Chanyeol's light breathing.

"Where are you? I'll come over."

I looked around, my vision blurry. " I'm at the park near the bubbletea shop that we love going to." I said softly, burying my head in my arms.

"Wait for me. Don't go anywhere."

10 minutes later, Chanyeol came running into the park. He caught sight of me crying to myself and dashed towards me.

"Are you okay?" Chanyeol asked, patting my back.

I slowly shook my head.

I looked at Chanyeol. "Why me? Why does it have to be me?" I asked, my face flushed.

Chanyeol just looked at me. "Come on, let's go cheer you up, let's go to a karaoke!" he said, pulling me up.

"Hey! Wait, no!" I whined as Chanyeol grabbed my hand and dragged me to the taxi stand.

______________________________

"Go on Baekhyun! Sing!" Chanyeol urged me as I clutched onto the microphone, staring at the screen.

"But I don't know this song..." I said.

Chanyeol rolled his eyes. "Then sing any song you want! SING YOUR HEART OUT!!" he yelled.

Then, I started screaming inaudibly into the microphone and Chanyeol grimaced. He slowly put his fingers into his ears and shut his eyes tight.

"KIM JENNIE!! I LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU!!!!!!! BUT U DUMPED DUMPED DUMPED ME LIKE IM SOME STUPID TRAAAAAAAASHHHHH!!!!! THOSE STUUUUUUPIDDDD FRIEEEEEENDSSSS OF YOUUUURSSSSSS!!!" I continued sing-screaming into the microphone, then I stopped, slumping down on the sofa.

"Good thing the walls of this room are sound proof..." Chanyeol hissed softly as I poured myself a full cup of soju.

I gulped down the soju and slammed the cup on the table again, pouring another time.

Looking at me nervously, Chanyeol snatched away my eighth cup. "Hey, stop it. You'll get-"

I waved him off. "Don't worry, I won't get drunk so easily, especially on soju..."

Within seconds after I finished my sentence, I passed out, my head thumped loudly on the table.

Chanyeol stared at me in disgust.

He smiled a forceful smile. "Great! Just great! Now I gotta bring you home." He grabbed me by my arm and pulled me up.

"Jennie ah... Why are you doing this to me..." I mumbled softly.

"Hey stop it. You talking actually makes you heavier somehow..." Chanyeol snapped.
