Eunji-Mom, I'm going to school now
Dayeon-Be careful
Eunji wore her shoes and headed out to school. From distant, she could see Baekhyun waiting for her at the bus stop
Eunji-Baekhyun!
He turned back around to Eunji and waved excitedly
Baekhyun-Let's go
He took Eunji's hand into his grip. She smiled shyly as they walked hand-in-hand to school
Eunji-Is it okay to walk like this?
Baekhyun-Just until we get to school
Eunji grinned and nodded. As soon as they arrived at their school, Baekhyun and Eunji loosened hands before anyone could see them
Chorong-Eunji!
Chorong shouted
Eunji-Oh, that's Chorong. I will go to her
Baekhyun-Okay. I will see you after school
Eunji nodded and parted ways with Baekhyun
Chorong-Are you hungry? Come with me to the cafe
Eunji-Okay, let's go
The best friends walked down the corridor to students cafeteria. Once they arrived, Eunji saw Bomi sitting alone at a table
Eunji-Oh, Bomi!
But she didn't hear Eunji who was calling. Bomi got up and walked out of the cafe
Eunji-What's wrong with her?
Chorong-Who?
Eunji-Bomi
Chorong-Ah, maybe she just couldn't hear you. I'm so hungry now, let's buy something
Eunji-Okay, okay
///
During mathematics class, students from 5A-1 were using the library. Eunji was already sitting with Chorong when she saw Bomi coming inside
Eunji-Bomi, let's sit tog..ether
She walked pass Eunji just like that and sat alone at the last row. Chorong glanced up at Bomi too. She also realised the change in their classmate today
Chorong-Now I'm asking the same question. What is wrong with her?
Eunji-I don't know too. What could it be? She was all fine yesterday with Chan... Could it be the reason?
Chorong-What?
Baekhyun appeared out of nowhere and stood beside Eunji
Baekhyun-This empty chair is for me?
Eunji was flustered. Then she realised Baekhyun was pointing at the chair in front of her. She chuckled
Eunji-Not really, but you can sit here if you want
Baekhyun pursed his lips before pulling out the chair and sat in front of Eunji. Soon later, Suho joined them at the table
Chorong-You are not invited to sit here
Suho-Excuse me, I'm not sitting here because of you but Baekhyun. Wherever there is Baekhyun, there will be Suho
Chorong rolled her eyes to the back
Eunji-Do you notice that Bomi is quite off today?
Baekhyun-Yoon Bomi?
Eunji nodded. Suho and Baekhyun sprained their necks to look at Bomi at the back
Baekhyun-Why is she sitting alone?
Suho-Are you guys fighting?
Chorong-Of course not!
Chorong snapped. Her loud voice received a hush from everybody else
Suho-You are embarrassing Park Chorong. Come here!
Suho got up and pulled Chorong's hand, dragging her out of the library. Baekhyun and Eunji were left alone at their table
Baekhyun-Did you ask her why?
Eunji-No. She didn't respond to me even though I called her name so many times
Baekhyun-Maybe she is stressed or she has a personal problem
Eunji-Then she has to tell me. I'm her friend
Baekhyun-I know. But let's not put her in a hard time. She will tell you when she is ready. Give her some time
Eunji pouted. Being understanding was never the issue. She was worried about Bomi because she wasn't being herself
Eunji-I'm going to the washroom
Baekhyun-Okay
Baekhyun continued doing the math exercise while Eunji was away
Ding!
Eunji's phone dinged and Chanyeol's name popped up on the screen. Baekhyun ignored the text and proceeded doing his exercise. But he couldn't focus
He grabbed Eunji phone and swiped into her kakao message. He already invaded Eunji's privacy but somehow his curiosity was eating him alive
From. Chanyeol
I need to see you Eunji
Let's meet during recess
at the tooftop
Baekhyun-What business do they have?
Baekhyun didn't like the way Chanyeol asking Eunji to meet privately. As if they were hiding something behind him
Baekhyun typed the reply and sent it to Chanyeol
To. Chanyeol
Okay, let's meet
Baekhyun packed up his books and left the library with Eunji's phone
///
Chanyeol waited for Eunji at the rooftop. He tapped his food on the floor furiously. When the door creaked open, he looked up
Chanyeol-Eunji?
But instead, it was Baekhyun
Chanyeol-Oh, Baekhyun. Where is Eunji?
Baekhyun-She's not available at the moment. You can tell me
Chanyeol-But I really need to see Eunji
Baekhyun-Is it that important that it has to be Eunji? Why can't you tell me instead? I'm her boyfriend
Chanyeol scratched his forehead
Chanyeol-Look, I need to talk to Eunji about Bomi
Baekhyun-About what? Bomi has been really strange today. She didn't speak to anyone and barely paying attention in class. Is that what you wanna know?
Chanyeol-Did she tell you guys why?
Baekhyun shook his head
Baekhyun-Look, if there are problems going around between you and Bomi, just resolve it yourself. Why are you asking Eunji to help you?
Chanyeol-Baekhyun, I think you misunderstood this. I just want to ask Eunji about Bomi because they are friends. I'm sorry that you got the wrong idea because of a single text. I won't do that again
Chanyeol walked off from there. Baekhyun heaved a deep sigh and finally left the rooftop as well
Once he stepped into his class, he saw Eunji was busy searching for something. In her bag, under the table and inside her locker
Chorong-Do you find it?
Eunji-No
Eunji looked up at Baekhyun. She gazed down at his hand which was holding her phone
Suho-Oh, that's your phone
Eunji marched towards Baekhyun
Eunji-Why is my phone with you?
Baekhyun-I.. Uhm,
Eunji pulled Baekhyun with her out to the corridor
Eunji-Give it back
Baekhyun-But,
Eunji snatched her phone from Baekhyun. She quickly went through her kakao apps and of course she found Chanyeol's message
Eunji-Did you look into my phone without permission?
Baekhyun-Eunji, I'm sorry
Eunji-Who do you think you are?
Baekhyun-Why can't I do it? I'm your boyfriend, am I not?
Eunji-You don't have the right to invade my privacy like this although you are my boyfriend or not
Baekhyun-Okay look, I'm sorry. I was furious when I saw Chanyeol's text so I decide I meet him instead
Eunji-Why did you do that?
Baekhyun-Because I'm jealous
Eunji's eyes widened
Eunji-Wh.. What?
Baekhyun-Because I'm so jealous looking at you with another guy. Didn't I say I like you Eunji?
Eunji bit her bottom lip. She could feel her cheeks burnt from embarrassment
All-Wuuu...
They looked to the side. Apparently their classmates had been eavesdropping to their conversations since forever
Kai-Nice one Baekhyun!
Sehun-I'm rooting for you guys!
They teased
Eunji-Ah, damn it
Baekhyun chuckled. And Eunji too
***
Baekhyun-Eunji?
Eunji-Hmm?
Baekhyun-I'm sorry about just now
Eunji-Fine. But promise you won't do that again
Eunji stuck out her pinky to Baekhyun. He grinned before he sealed their fingers together. Suddenly he pulled Eunji closer and
Chup!
Gave a quick peck on her lips. Eunji gasped in shock
Baekhyun-Promise. And I will apologize to Chanyeol later
Baekhyun grinned victoriously looking at Eunji's flustered face
Eunji-Gg..good
Baekhyun-Oh, by the way Chanyeol actually wanted to ask about Bomi from you
Eunji-He knows Bomi is upset about something?
Baekhyun nodded
Eunji-Could he be the reason?
Baekhyun-Reason for what?
Eunji-Reason for Bomi to get upset
Baekhyun-Why would Chanyeol make her upset? I thought he likes Bomi
Eunji-You are right. But Bomi isn't ready to start a new relationship. She was hurt previously
Baekhyun-So that is why
Eunji and Baekhyun hummed, thinking
Baekhyun-I know what to do
Eunji-What?
