The Plan of Action
"Baek..."
Chanyeol pulled away from the hug to reach out for Baekhyun but before he could accomplish his intention, Baekhyun already stormed out of the toilet. The tall boy just stood there moonstruck.
"Go, Chanyeol. Go after him. Explain everything," Suho urged him to go and the giant just took baby steps forward, feeling clueless of what to do. When he's near the doorknob already, Suho spoke.
"I-I'm sorry, Yeol. I'm sorry to cause you trouble..."
"Don't worry about it, hyung. Everything will be okay," he replied and smiled a sad smile. He then went back to his senses and managed to speed up his walking.
Baekhyun went dashing to their table and abruptly grabbed his backpack. He paused and said, "I need to go. I got to look for something in the library for my English class." He sounded upset and after voicing out those words,he jogged. He took few steps, stopped for a moment and shot sharp looks to the three pairs of eyes wildly ogling at him. "And by the way, thanks, Kai & Sehun, for letting me eavesdrop," and he resumed jogging out of the canteen.
The three exchanged looks. They knew something happened for they felt the tension from Baekhyun. The two younger ones were more bewildered of what Baekhyun told them about that eavesdrop thing. Soon, Chanyeol arrived with an outline of panic visible on his face. Sweatdrops on his forehead were such a big proof.
"Have you seen Baekhyun?" He asked with a bit cracked voice
"Uhhh... He said he got to look for something in the library for his English class," Kyungsoo managed to answer.
"What? I don't think we have any assignments or tasks in our English class."
"I don't know. That's what he said. Just give it a try," Kyungsoo responded with a free advice. Chanyeol just meekly nodded and turned his back.
"Don't worry, Yeol-hyung. Whatever your problem is right now, it will be solved eventually. I know you and Baekhyun-hyung can work it out," Kyungsoo spoke behind the giant. Park turned his head a little and cracked a less sad smile. He was just... touched by the words someone not much close to him. He bade goodbye and advanced to the library.
The eyeliner boy was nowhere to be found. He's not in the library nor in their classroom. Chanyeol was about to look for him at the rooftop but the school bell rang already, indicating lunch break was over and it's time for their first period. The tall Dumbo-eared guy waited for his bestfriend to sneak into their English class but no Byun Baekhyun came in.
"He skipped class... He used to detest it and be strongly against it but now, he's doing it," Chanyeol to himself and smirked with a hint of a hurt expression. He knew both parties were hurt.
The whole afternoon, Baekhyun skipped classes. It's more like absenting actually. He didn't answer any of his friends' calls nor replied to their text messages. Kyungsoo was unconscious of what's happening and Sehun was believing a wrong conclusion. That was it while the others namely Suho, Kai and Chanyeol didn't want to talk about the happening.
The next two days came and that two days of theirs weren't the same. It's different from their usual day. Baekhyun didn't show up & have lunch with them. The merry moments in their usual lunchtime seemed to be absent at those hours. Due to the situation, the worry & anxiety within the five began to become more pestering and killing.
Lunch was about to end and Sehun went to the washroom. There he met his Luhan-hyung and they happened to talk about Baekhyun. Like a kid with a light bulb and 'ting!' sound effects on his head, Luhan came up to a bright idea. He shared their setup to Sehun and the latter's face gained radiance. Again, the loud ringing noise from the school bell reverberated all throughout the campus.
Luhan just smiled and spoke, "Sehun-ah, let me borrow your phone for a while."
"It's already time, hyung. But if you want to play flappy bird, just one round, okay?" The older just chuckled while receiving the brunette's phone.
"Assumptions..." He uttered while tapping the screen of Sehun's phone. He then returned the phone with a bright smile. "It's not a good one but push that assumption harder if you like."
"This is..." The younger trailed off as he saw numbers on the screen and a name which read "Luhan-hyung;-)"
"Yup. My phone number. Just give our plan a try. Update Luhan-hyung for any progress," the deer boy said without wearing off his smile.
White puppy had his lips slightly parted in awe. He knew he's being funny that time but he let it be. He found it funny how it had been already around three to four days since they became friends yet he just got his hyung's number. Sehun went back to his senses and he also gave his number. Afterwhich, they got out of the washroom. They exchanged goodbyes and walked on opposite directions. Luhan remembered something and turned back.
"Pssst! White puppy!" And Sehun turned back with an opened mouth and a hint of questioning look.
Luhan gestured his hands and nodded his head while saying "Come here." The younger did as what he was told.
When they're close enough, Luhan lifted his right hand and gently put it on the younger's head. There existed few gentle pats and eventually, the pats evolved into ruffles.
"Take care, Sehun-ah," with an upward curve on his lips, he said. The other blinked slowly for few times and eventually showcased his eyes turning to crescents and his teeth beaming with pearly whiteness. In simpler words, he smiled, uhhh....too much.
What fueled the deer to do it that time was their promise and their brother-like treatment. As a hyung, he cared for his dongsaeng or younger brother. They both knew in their selves that they both loved and wanted affections like that. And they both also knew that it was because of their parents' short comings.
Sehun's luck was working more effectively that day. His teacher in their first subject was absent and there's no sub. It meant that he had the time to work on the make-up plan his Luhan-hyung suggested. He used the time practically and texted his hyungs. Each of them received different greetings. Like "Hey, brat" to Jongin, "Hyung?" to Suho, "Dobi-hyung!" to Chanyeol, "Baek-hyung, help..." to Baekhyun and "Annyeong Dyo-hyung=3" to Kyungsoo. He convinced and set them up to meet him. The brunette hadn't forgotten his hyung and consulted each reply he's about to text back to his hyungs. He's just being careful with his words and not wanting a ruined plan.
Some of his hyungs didn't reply. Those who only did were Kai, Kyungsoo & Suho. He bet that the bestfriends were somewhat busy in their English class. Nevertheless, he still continued to text his three hyungs. He hadn't realized that Kai was just laughing at him. They're sitting side by side yet they're still texting each other. It remained like that until Kai hit the back of his head with not much force.
"What's this shit? What's this plan?" He interrogated the brunette.
"Uhh... W-what do you mean?" He stuttered, a bit taken aback.
"Don't play & pretend. I caught you already," Kai proudly & confidently making Sehun check his sent items. He gaped at what he found out.
"So? You already knew that you sent me a message that is supposed to be sent to your angel?" Sehun just rolled his eyes, not minding his mistake. He didn't mind him but instead, informed Luhan about it.
Jongin was bothering his bestfriend of what's that text message about but he's just ignored until Sehun got enough already. At that time, Luhan replied to him already that Kai mustn't know or else their special serving of their sweet dessert called "plan of making up" would be spoiled. Sehun just obeyed what his Luhan-hyung commanded him.
"It's none of your business. Hyung and I are just gonna hangout," he proved his obedience.
"Then what's this?!" Kai asked and showed the message on his phone which read "Kai will be going. Your plan seems like working, Luhan-hyung." Kai smirked and asked, "Well, what plan actually?"
"Just gonna hangout. But then, he wanted me to enjoy it more so he planned to invite you along so that I'd be more comfortable." The younger made stories in order to make Kai believe.
"Fine. If that's the case, I won't be going. I changed my mind."
"What?! Why?!"
"I don't want myself to be a cockblocker or a third wheel on your date," Jongin proudly answered.
"Date?! What are you talking about?! Hello!? Earth to Jongin. I said hangout, not a date," Sehun argued.
"'What' and 'ever', Sehun. I heard you right. I just don't want to be a cockblocker & a third wheel," Kai replied with matching quotation gestures.
"A cockblocker between two people who treat each other as a brother? It's just a hangout, incorrigible coquette," Sehun fought with a bit of acid on his words.
"Brothers? You sure?"
"I....Yes. Arggh! Just come along, please. Hyung wanted to meet my bestfriend and we know that it's you." Just a simple query yet it turned his bad mood into a good one, a good mood for convincing.
"Still no," he straightforwardly answered.
"I'll be bringing Dyo-hyung if you want," a little childishly, he sounded.
"Then you two will be our chaperons, eh?" Jongin cockily questioned.
"Ewww... He's not your boyfriend yet, Kai. Be careful with your words. Make them more sensible and acceptable to the ears or else, I'll throw up on your pants." A faint aura of disgust could be felt radiating from the younger.
"What a guy. One moment, you're convincing me, being so nice. Then another moment and you're insulting me. Can't you just maintain the sugar in your words?" Jongin deadpanned, earning a grin from the white boy.
"Not an insult totally. Just stating the truth about what may happen."
"Truth? Truth my ass."
"Whatever. So? You wanna go? Just go, please..." He tried his luck, absent-mindedly doing an aegyo.
"Okay. Fine. I'll just tell Kyung-"
"No!" He exclaimed and felt eyes glancing back at him for a while. "N-no. Don't tell him. It will be a surprise. I heard, he likes surprises," he continued, a bit embarrassed from the early part of the sentences but just got over it.
"What for? He may be taken aback having me there."
"No. There's a big chance he won't be. Just trust me. I'm just helping you out. I'm leading both your feet to each other's heart."
"Ehh? You're not a cheesestick or a cheesecake so don't be cheesy." Kai sounded uninterested.
"When did I lie to you, Jongin? Believe me and my skills. In fact, I'm a Kaisoo shipper." White puppy proudly spoke with an in-a-matter-of-fact tone.
"Well... You lied when you once said Suho-hyung's more handsome than me. But I'll just let it slip." Sehun creased a brow.
"I don't remember anything like that. Basically, you're letting something that never happened slip."
"There. A lie. You're such a sweet liar, Oh Sehun. Well, fine. Just make sure it will lead me to something good."
"Aye-aye, Captain Kai!" Sehun exclaimed with nods. "Rest assured, things will be okay."
Sehun felt relieved that he outwitted Kai. He updated his hyung and told him the things he and Kai talked about. By the reactions Luhan had on the other side of the phone, he could say that he's amused & impressed of how humorous and wordy Sehun could be. He also just laughed about that cockblocker part.
There, the third ring from the bell prior to the ring at the end of the lunch break had created noises all over their school, SASA. It meant one good thing, dismissal.
Sehun walked alongside with Kai on the hallways whilst still fumbling with his phone. Along the process, he happened to run into Joonmyeon. The maknae scowled with the feeling of the bump but the scowl was erased as soon as he saw Suho chuckling at his clumsiness. He shot Kai a glare, blaming him somewhat. He knew that Kai knew that he would be bumping Suho but didn't warn him.
Suho just decided to speak, saying he would just join the two younger boys. The oldest among the three didn't open up the topic about the said plan of him and Sehun for the latter put up a good strategy. Well, he just texted Baekhyun, Chanyeol, Jongin, Kyungsoo & Joonmyeon about some sort of a plan for the next day, which is Saturday. The five didn't know they were just a part of a big plan or rather, a scheme. They just thought that they would just be going alone with Sehun this Saturday afternoon. To avoid spoiling, he told each of them to never open it up to others as if it's a secret appointment. He reasoned out two things, it should either be a secret or a surprise to someone. Like that "surprise Kyungsoo" thing Sehun made up for Kai.
The walk home was silent until they reached the school gates. The two younger was startled upon the hearing of some sort of splash. They turned their heads around and just saw Suho kinda wet. Afterwards, they heard mischievous laughs from someone near. Suho realized that he was hit by a water balloon and his eyes widened. Then he also heard the same mischievous laugh and his eyes went back to normal width, having a clue of what happened. He just heaved a sigh and uttered a name.
"Tenten..."

[A/N: updated at last. whoo! is it boring? i find it kind of. I'm sorry for this for now. You waited for several days and more=[
.
Sorry for my mistakes and errors. I'm sleepy whilst typing this=[ Please do still vote & comment (even just your feels and reactions). Lovelots!
.
Happy 2K reads, by the way! Votes also increased. I'm so much happy about it. The statistics of my other stories improved also. Thanks a trillion to you, guys!!!:*
.
I might change my username to BabyChanChan here. Just informing you.
.
And uhhh.... before I forgot. I know Luhan's name is really Lu Han. I just added Xi since he has other sisters (which are also kpop idols to be specific). Using Lu as the surname of her sisters sounded kinda wrong to my ears.
.
Well, who do you think Tenten is? I know you have the idea and I think, that idea of yours is correct. Lol. I used it for I find it cute. Tenten & Junjun. Yeah. I think, I spoiled you a bit. Anyways, comment your guesses who Tenten is. We'll see. Thanks!=]]]
.
Bye guys. I'll just emote for now. There's only 5 days left before graduation.[TT^TT]]
