Messed Up I Guess

Chapter 21

Fuck this shit I'm in.

Baekhyun didn't know what to do. Pull Chanyeol now? That would make the latter suspicious. Think of another fake scenario? Jimin might deny and that would literally raise Chanyeol's suspiciousness again. Run? Things might get weird. Think Baek, think of something before Jimin says where he saw you--

"Baekhyun hyung! It is you!" Jimin instantly threw his arms around the startled man and hugged him tightly. Baekhyun hesitated but melted in the embrace, wrapping his awkward arms around the pink hair. Chanyeol was confused as hell, but he didn't let the two read his face.

"Ahh! After 5 years we get to see each other again!" Jimin jumped so happily that Baekhyun can't help but coo at how cute he was, almost forgetting about the crisis he is currently in.

Almost.

But this guy in front of him is making things worse. All he can do is smile cuz damn it it's rude not to smile, plus he feels a bit safe and he'll deal with the problem later.

"O-oh! Jiminie! It's been a while huh?" Jimin nodded his head.

"Ahh! We have so much catching up to do, hyung! Did you know how I struggled so hard in my college when you weren't there?? Urgh! It was frustrating", Jimin pouted at the memories of him scratching his head all the time whenever he doesn't get a topic in class. Baekhyun laughed, he remembered clearly the times Jimin would rush over to him and ask how to solve an equation during their breaks. It was a nice memory.

"At least I was there", a man popped up with a plastic bag that Chanyeol assumes the Ryan merchandise.

"Oh right! Guys, this is Namjoon, someone who-"

"His boyfriend, in short."

Baekhyun and Chanyeol tried not to laugh at the younger. His face is similar to the color of his hair.

"Who will become his ex", Jimin's eyes widened, and couldn't help but almost tearing up, "because I will be his husband soon."

And that was the final blow, Jimin smacked the taller's arm and ran away from the three, his face redder each time he hears them laughing. The duo couldn't help but fall over at how cute their interaction was. Namjoon smiled widely at the effect he gave to his lover, his dimples visible and eyes almost disappearing. Since it was a chilly day, Jimin brought up his scarf towards his face, afraid to meet the eyes of the two crackheads who kept on teasing him.

—MUIG—

The four decided to hang out and get to know each other more, additionally exchanging numbers as well. Chanyeol got to know that Namjoon does rap which he praised him for. Baekhyun, being the king of memes he is, said gibberish and pretended to rap, which Chanyeol laughed, his deep voice echoing in the latter's ears, sending a tingling sensation in his heart.

I love how I can make you laugh.

They stopped by a stall and bought the tornado potato, one for each of them. However, Baekhyun asked for another, along with Chanyeol. Jimin stared at them in confusion and judged them hardly. Namjoon on the other hand was busy finishing his stick. The two looked at each other competitively fiery eyes. Baekhyun smirked at the taller, which made Chanyeol scoff but a sneer crawled up onto his lips. 

The vendor gulped at what these two are planning to do.

But he was thankful since they said they're gonna pay, which made him shrug. So he continued selling his cooked potatoes.

"3, 2, 1", once Jimin said go, the two munched on their potato swirl. the game was supposed to be whoever gets to eat a lot of the tornado potato. Chanyeol's motive was to intentionally lose the game but would love to watch his foe's cute frustrated face and eyes full of desire to win.
