CHAPTER 10: JEALOUSY

•~•~•~•~•❤❤❤•~•~•~•~•

"Irene, kindly tour Sehun around the campus?" Mrs.Chi asked while glancing at Irene and then at Sehun who was currently having his expressionless face trying to ignore the looks given to him.

The so-called girl squealed secretly with the idea that she will be accompanying the new hot transferee guy throughout the whole campus and quickly nodded in response.

"Yeah, sure! I mean, why not." Irene smiled and looked at Sehun as if he's something who came from heaven. She looked up and down eyeing every part of his clothed body and blushed when she looked at the latter's handsome face.

Sehun internally groaned as he rolled his eyes.

"I think it's better if Byun Baekhyun will be the one who'll tour me around the school grounds." This time all the students turn their heads to the man yet they remained silent. In fact, Sehun is tired of having responsibilities with flirty people like Irene so he just doesn't have a choice but to turn her down. Because as much as he wants to play as the heartbreaker in this school, he doesn't like to deal with it for now, because he had other plans.

'Why does Baekhyun always gets the hot guys. He's not only a nerd. But also a flirt.' someone muttered. Obviously the insecure girls.

Baekhyun, in his part he just looked around cluelessly with the disgusted and disbelieving expressions from his fellow classmates. He lifted his eyeglasses and tilt his head to look at Mrs.Chi.

"Is it okay with you Baekhyun?" Mrs.Chi asked, knowing that Baekhyun wasn't the type of student who could handle social interactions well.

"Mr.Byun? Is it okay with you?" Mrs.Chi spoke again, getting the smaller's attention. Baekhyun slowly nodded, unknowledgeable of what's the teacher was even talking about.

"Yes, ma'am.." He answered. The girl was crestfallen and jealousy is drawn on her face. She was just replaced by the midget's fortune on accompanying the hot guy.

"Okay. You guys can go now." The teacher exclaimed and started to turn the pages of the book she's reading.

"Where? Why?" Baekhyun mumbled dumbly and Sehun played a small smirk on his lips. Apparently, Baekhyun was budgeting his salary on his part-time job at the moment that he lost focus on what was happening to the class.

This boy is really something, Sehun thought.

"You just said yes ma'am, but you didn't really hear what she said?" Sehun spoke in amusement, now playing his pen in between his fingers coolly. Baekhyun looked beside him with equally clueless as before.

"I'm sorry, okay... Please tell me, what did she tell me to do please, I don't want to go to the detention room. That would be the first time if--"

"Tour me." Sehun sighed but not in an awful way but in an amusing way. Now, this is more interesting, he thought.

"Uhh...Y-You want me to tour you around?" Baekhyun unsurely asked while tilting his head showing his clueless puppy eyes. Sehun just gave an 'Isn't that obvious?' look and that's when Baekhyun remembered that he still had a favor to do with Sehun.

"Oh, right. I almost forgot that I owe you one. Sorry." Baekhyun apologized. He was putting his things inside his bag when a large hand distracted him.

"Are you serious?" Chanyeol raised his brow at Baekhyun. On the other side, Sehun just hid a smirk and remained silent.

"You go around with a stranger? What if this bastard tries to hurt you. What if he turns out to be a psychotic ax murderer." Chanyeol didn't even bother with the word he used.

"Gosh Chanyeol, he just saved my life last week, remember? And he's really a nice person. He checks up on me sometimes. And I think you both will get along well." Baekhyun brushed off while rolling his eyes. Baekhyun is used to this side of Chanyeol anyway. The overly protective side of the elf- not to mention his weird imaginations. Axe murderer? Psychotic kidnapper? Duh??

"You've never told me you're this close with this guy," Chanyeol argued. Besides, is it necessary to tell you? Baekhyun internally thought.

Chanyeol can't believe that now, someone is checking at Baekhyun except himself.

"What if he ends up becoming a prick and hurt you? No, I won't let that! I'll be the one who'll accompany him instead." Chanyeol huffed like a kid throwing a tantrum. Again- crazy imaginative side.

"Stop it, Chanyeol. Don't pout." Baekhyun wasn't really looking and paying attention to the giant's exaggerated 'what if' but he accurately knows that his best friend is pouting again.

On the other hand, Sehun is intrigued by how Chanyeol cares about Baekhyun's safety. Sehun stood up and held Baekhyun's free hand and pulled him causing him to stand. And slightly lose the latter's balance before he completely pulled Baekhyun out of the room.

The rest of the students didn't expect Sehun's behavior so they were left dumbfounded when Sehun pulled Baekhyun out of the class with their hands clamped together. Even Chanyeol was taken aback because he was still talking to Baekhyun when Sehun suddenly pulled him out of the room. Chanyeol felt like Baekhyun was stolen from him at that moment. And he doesn't want it.

•~•~•~•~•❤❤❤•~•~•~•~•

"This is the music building, here, we can play music and sing and use instruments. There's the entrance and that's the exit. We have different instruments and....umm, we have a music lesson next semester." Baekhyun determinedly explained all the buildings they pass by with matching pointing gestures.

Sehun's hands are on his side pockets now. He just put on his cool demeanor and pretended to listen to Baekhyun's explanations while averting his gaze along the way. He wants Baekhyun to accompany him because not like other students, Baekhyun seems innocent and pure, unlike others that could possibly push motives towards him.

"Oh, this is the library! There are lots of books inside, dictionaries, almanacs, magazines, comics, storybooks, and many more. It's where I spend my time if there's nothing to do in the classroom. And yeah I also do my assignments and projects here. This is my favorite place here on the campus. It was quiet and-."

"You've said enough details." Sehun cut Baekhyun's laborious explanations so the puppy just secretly pouted and shut his mouth instead before he mouthed a small 'sorry'. The two are in front of the football court and Baekhyun pointed his finger at the building, "And this is-."

"Shh...Shut.Up." Sehun shushed Baekhyun again causing him to jerk his shoulders and shut his mouth for the second time. Sehun just wanted to take in the calm atmosphere without any silence and all.

"He asked me for a tour and he wants me to shut up... great.." Baekhyun mumbled under his breath while scrunching his nose and folding his arms.

"Are you saying something?" Sehun raised his brow. He surely heard what Baekhyun said and he just wanted to prevent Baekhyun from blabbering around because it makes him sleepy. It's because Baekhyun has a soft voice that makes him want to sleep.

Sehun was expecting some talkback from Baekhyun but nothing came. Instead, he became silent and got closer to Sehun to the extent that their shoulders are touching. Sehun didn't complain though he doesn't want people getting so close to his invisible personal space yet realized that Baekhyun's sudden act as cautiousness and fear when he spots a group of jocks looking at him as if they are having something sick spinning on their minds.

Without second thoughts, Sehun flung his arms over Baekhyun's shoulders. The latter inwardly tensed and felt his cheeks blushed when the latter made him impossibly closer that others might have said they were clingy couples.

Baekhyun smelled the strong minty bodyspray that Sehun used and mixed it with his cottony sweet smell. 'It makes me dizzy' Baekhyun thought.

"Umm...S-Sehun? Your arm..." Baekhyun mumbled but Sehun kept Baekhyun in place.

Sehun devilishly glared at the jocks when they passed by. Resulting in them backing away.

They were just walking like that when Chanyeol appeared along with his girl, Jieun. Baekhyun felt awkward because of Sehun's arm around his small body. His cheeks blushed.

As soon as Chanyeol saw Baekhyun, he unconsciously diverted his eyes on the arm that was on Baekhyun's shoulders. He glared at Sehun before giving a soft look at Baekhyun, pulling him apart from him to untangle the arm on the smaller's shoulders.

"Baek, we have camping next week. I'll come by this afternoon to your house, I'll help you prepare your things." Chanyeol spoke as if the joy from his voice was taken away. He still doesn't like the feeling that Baekhyun's with someone else, especially some stranger who already has their arms around him.

'Who is he to cling at Baekhyun like that?' Chanyeol secretly thought. But then he was distracted when he heard Baek's joyful response.

"Oh? Yey! You're not joking?! My mom would not allow me if it weren't because of you! Thanks, Chan!" Baekhyun replied enthusiastically and jumped like a 9-year-old kid getting his new toy. They were talking as if Sehun and Jieun weren't just beside them.

"Of course! I promised your mom I'll bring you back without any scratch. Anyway, are you hungry already?" Chanyeol asked intently looking into Baekhyun's eyes.

"Honestly yes. We circled the school grounds. It's so tiring. Whew." Baekhyun answered while dramatically wiping fake sweats on his forehead.

"C'mon let's eat. I bet you're tired." Chanyeol scrunched his brows as he eyed Sehun in distaste and patted Baekhyun's hair.

Sehun looked back at him and raised his brow slightly. Then, he pulled Baekhyun close to his side again.

"We're not finished touring around yet. And if he's hungry, I'll be the one who's responsible for him because I asked him to accompany me around. And you're with, if I may assume your girl. Just take care of her and mind your own business. I promise I won't bite him." Sehun blurted out with a blank expression. His voice is deep and the coldness in his tone made Baekhyun mentally shiver. Chanyeol averted his look at Sehun's dark orbs. He felt insulted by Sehun's mocking comment without Baekhyun's knowledge.

"Do you have a problem? Who are you to order me or even get close with Baekhyun? You're not even from here. Watch your mouth." Chanyeol's voice is dangerously low and when Chanyeol gets fired up, it'll be really really bad.

"I think you're the one who has serious problems here. And first of all, you don't own Baekhyun." Chanyeol's temper was triggered, looking offended.

Chanyeol clenched his fist and was ready to attack.

"I think we should get out of here," Jieun commented but Chanyeol didn't budge. Some students caught the attention of the two but remained distant.

Baekhyun gently took Sehun's handoff from his shoulder and walked closer to Chanyeol. He jokingly punched the latter's chest and rubbed the side of his face trying to ease the glare in the giant's face.

"Yah, Yeol. Look at me." Baekhyun softly spoke as he watched how he burnt holes on Sehun with his eyes. After a few seconds, Chanyeol relaxed and averted his eyes on Baek.

"It's okay. Besides you're with Jieun. I'll see you around later." Baekhyun softly said. Chanyeol's eyes looked at Baekhyun in disbelief. Chanyeol felt like he was replaced and that his best friend indirectly told him that he was wrong. And this prick in front of them has a point.

Baekhyun suddenly breathed hard when he saw dismay at Chanyeol's eyes. He knows his best friend too much and he regretted siding up with Sehun.

'Oh, no...no.nonono...it's not what I mean Chan-'

"So I'm at false here? That he is right? Wow. I can't believe this." Chanyeol spoke out with a bit of force and shock in his voice before walking away while Jieun chased him.

He tried to chase the taller but he have long legs and he quickly vanished among the crowds in the hallways.

"You shouldn't have triggered him, Sehun!" Baekhyun ranted, "And I shouldn't have said that!"The midget facepalmed, feeling worried while shaking his head.

"He easily gets riled up. Is he a werewolf?" Sehun chuckled.

"Aish, Sehun stop that. You don't understand. I should have been careful with my words." Baekhyun looked disappointed at Sehun and talk more so to himself while registering to his mind what just happened. 'Urgh, what just happened.' Baekhyun thought.

"Maybe it's the first time you divert your attention on someone else. Well, it's obvious he only wants to keep you for himself. I heard your conversations before in the classroom anyway." Sehun spelled out shrugging. Baekhyun just stared at the hallway where Chanyeol walked out.

"I-I'm going to apologize to him," Baekhyun exclaimed.

"Let's just eat first. Let his girlfriend do her work. It's not even your fault." Sehun explained.

"Right. His girlfriend." Baekhyun sighed sadly. Kicking an invisible stone in the floor. He can feel in his gut that something is wrong with his feelings that he can't put a finger on.

"Yeah." Sehun complied. While looking at Baekhyun's beautiful face secretly. He just finds Baekhyun interesting and attractive. But of course, he'll never admit it.

"Okay. I'll deal with him after school then." Baekhyun realized he's not Chanyeol's girlfriend to be there for him now. Because even tho he wants to chase Chanyeol, he can't just do it because as Sehun told him, it's Jieun's purpose to be with Chanyeol in a situation like that.

Because I'm just the boy who happened to be his best friend.
