Chapter 1

lovesome

[luhv-suh m]

Lovely or lovable.

Baekhyun is an average girl, with her average life. Being noisy is not her thing and being extravagant is not something she wishes for.

She loves wearing slim-fit dress shirt or t-shirt just because she feels like it looks nice on her body. She doesn’t like tight fitting clothes because it makes her hard to breathe.

Wearing skinny jeans is also another one of her average lifestyle, because apparently she is short and by wearing skinny jeans helps her to look a little bit taller than her actual height.

She lets her black hair drop just an inch under her shoulder. People color their hair with rainbows but Baekhyun thinks Asian people are still the best in black hair. No offense though, it’s her own preference.

Baekhyun loves stuffing her ears with the earphones and listens to upbeat music when she is stressed and ballad songs when she is acting like one of the lead actresses of drama.

Her grade is so-so. She fails in one or two subjects but overall she passes with above the passing grade. She is content with that.

The friend circle she is having is also the average type. With a small group of 4 girls, consists of Baekhyun herself, the forever awkward but caring Joonmyeon, the silent but a good listener Kyungsoo, and the nerd plus mood maker Jongdae, she intends to keep her friends by her side. They are her source of power, her partners in crime, and her guardian angels in every moment.

They have their good moments when all of them come up to an agreement about something, but they also have that moment when they bicker about something so small and end up not talking to each other for a week. But that’s okay, because that’s how friendship is going.

Baekhyun loves her friends.

She is single and not ready to mingle.

Jongdae is in a relationship with her childhood best friend slash boyfriend, a shorty but bulky Minseokoppa, making Baekhyun feels like they are polar opposites but weirdly fit each other. Joonmyeon has finally come to her sense and has finally confessed to the foreign student from China with the name ofYixing and Baekhyun thinks they are the cutest pair ever. Kyungsoo is recently having a major heartbreak because her crush on a boy with sleepy eyes and plump lips who used to try to get close to her from the first time is said to be recently got together with the a pretty girl with icy face from the dance major.

And Baekhyun?

Well, she is not looking for a relationship. Yet.

Being in a relationship is not as beautiful as you think, girls.

Kyungsoo used to say that that sleepy eyes boy who seemed to be crushing on her as well was a bit clingy and texted her in every minute. Jongdae often grumbles that Minseok is too preoccupied with his gym activity that he sometimes forgets he has a girlfriend waiting for his phone call. Joonmyeon is calm and she respects her boyfriend’s activity of being the lead dance team, but it seems sometimes she gives her boyfriend too much space and Yixing ends up missing her too much.

See?

Being in a relationship is not forever pretty like you watch in dramas and movies.

Her friends often talk to her to find a boyfriend but Baekhyun shakes her head and says no, she doesn’t need a boyfriend yet.

It’s very average and usual; Baekhyun’s life.

She is no main lead for the life drama where the girl is poor and meets her prince charming, or a popular girl with boys throwing themselves onto her heels. No.

She is ByunBaekhyun and she is one of the most unpopular girls in the whole college.

In conclusion, Baekhyun is boring.



“Baekhyunnie?” Kyungsoo’s soft voice stops her from writing down on her paper. They are in the library and her hushed voice is so soft Baekhyun almost misses it.

“Mm?”

“Want to go get something to eat? You have been doing that assignment for an hour. Don’t skip your meal again, please.” Her friend says softly while running her hand over Baekhyun’s black hair.

Baekhyun contemplates for a moment, stealing glances to the clock hanging on at the wall and onto her papers.

“Alright.”

Kyungsoo sends her a small satisfied smile and then they put their things back into their bag. Baekhyun stares from the corner of her eye, gazing at the elegant way Kyungsoo’s fingers are moving.

She wonders what’s gotten into that sleepy dancer boy to even break her friend’s heart.

“Let’s go.” Kyungsoo calks for her while waiting with her hand outstretched. Baekhyun smiles and wraps her hand on Kyungsoo’s as they walk towards the lunch room.

“Do you think Joonmyeon will be there already? She keeps waiting for Yixing outside of the dance major room. I hope she doesn’t forget her meal.” Kyungsoo starts muttering softly under her breathe, fingers fidgeting in slight worry.

Baekhyun hums, squeezing her hand.

“Don’t worry. Look. There she is. And with Jongdae, too.”

They make their way towards their other two friends and once their friends catch the sight of them entering the lunch room, they are greeted with wide smile.

“Hey, Kyungsoo, Baekhyun. I was about to call you.” Joonmyeon says with a gentle smile gracing her lips.

Baekhyun drops her intertwined hand with Kyungsoo as she settles down on the seat beside Joonmyeon. She waits as Kyungsoo settles on the seat across her and when her shorter friend brings out a large lunch box, they start to dig in. They take turn on who should bring the lunch because apparently Jongdae says the cafeteria foods suck and Joonmyeon says it’s not healthy to eat out too often and Kyungsoo simply loves fattening them with her amazing cooking.

They eat while chatting about their classes. It’s simply refreshing to just sit down with your friends and enjoy food together calmly.

Baekhyun sees a rather unusual sight from the corner of her eye and when she looks to her side, she finds Yixing and the boy is creeping slowly towards his girlfriend. He lifts up a finger to his mouth and motions for Baekhyun to keep quiet.

She hides back a smile as she keeps her gaze on Joonmyeon who doesn’t seem to suspect anything.

It’s really a cute sight when Joonmyeon yelps in surprise when Yixing’s arms come winding around her belly and a soft kiss in placed on her cheeks.

Baekhyun laughs at that. It’s really endearing to watch them like this because Yixing is really a good friend of her and she even knows Yixing first away before she meets Joonmyeon. You can say that Baekhyun plays cupid for those two.

“You surprised me!” Joonmyeon says, her voice whining as Baekhyun accepts the high-five from Yixing.

“Baekhyunnie!” Her friend whines to her as Baekhyun shrugs in fake innocence, gulping down the shrimp in her mouth.

Yixing sits down and easily scoops Joonmyeon up onto his thighs, much to his girlfriend’s protest.

Kyungsoo and Jongdae are laughing softly at the cute couple before the latter’s eyes shine when she sees her boyfriend coming closer.

“Minseok!”

“Hey, DaeDae.” Minseok teases her as soon as he comes to her, resulting in Jongdae pouting a bit at the nickname.

Baekhyun watches her two friends being in love and she couldn’t help but to feel happy as well.

Kyungsoo is gripping onto Baekhyun’s hand all of the sudden and she finds out why when the cause is walking through the cafeteria door.

There he is, Kim Jongin, the tanned sleepy eyed dancer, with a pretty girl in his arm. It’s cruel to see that so Baekhyun easily scoots closer to Kyungsoo and grabs her close, pressing her friend’s face to her shoulder in order to shield her eyes from the sight.

Both Joonmyeon and Jongdae seem to realize it as well and they become alerted as well. They even glare at the back of the dancer’s head. Yixing says nothing but he keeps his gaze away because he couldn’t defend his team mate and he doesn’t even like the way his team mate easily finds someone new. Minseok tries to calm Jongdae as she is practically fuming when she meets eyes with the dancer’s new girlfriend.

“It’s okay. I’m okay.” Kyungsoo says, voice strained as she forces a smile on her heart-shaped lips.

Baekhyun squeezes her arm to show her support for her friend.

“Anyway,” Minseok says suddenly as he stares at the text message on his phone with Jongdae peeking on his side, “my friends are looking for me. Is it okay if I told them to join us here?”

Joonmyeon nods, “Yeah, it’s fine. Just invite them.”

Jongdae is in her clingy mode again as she cuddles to her boyfriend and Minseok is laughing at her act as he tries to type a message.

Baekhyunsays nothing as she is trying to bring Kyungsoo’s mood up by whispering jumbled words to her. It works though, because Kyungsoo is giggling against her shoulder and hitting Baekhyun on her arm.

They settle back into a better mood and they continue eating, with the taken girls shoving food into their boyfriend’s mouth. Kyungsoo feeds Baekhyun the egg roll and the both of them giggle.



“Oh, there they are!” Minseok suddenly exclaims as he waves towards the cafeteria door and Baekhyun is too lazy to move from her position of cuddling into Kyungsoo’s comfy shoulder.

“Hey. Is it really fine for us to intrude? It looks like there’s a family picnic here.” A voice says and Baekhyun smiles at the words because indeed, they look like having a family picnic right now.

“Nah, it’s okay. The more, the merrier.” Minseok says to his friends.

Two guys join them, one sitting by Minseok’s side and the other one is slipping into the empty spot beside Baekhyun.

“Let me introduce you guys.” Minseok declares and everyone pays attention to him.

“This is Sehun,” he points to the one beside him, “and that’s Chanyeol.” He says while pointing to the one sitting beside Baekhyun.

“Hey, guys. Sorry for intruding and thanks for letting us join.” The one named Sehun says with a flat smile and Baekhyun thinks he is the one talking from before.

The Chanyeol one hasn’t said anything yet until now.

“Say something, Chanyeol.” Minseok lifts an eyebrow at him.

“Hello.”

Baekhyun flinches at the surprisingly deep voice and she turns to see the said guy.

He is... abnormally tall. And also damn handsome.

The guy seems to feel the stare coming from her and he turns to Baekhyun, making her flinches and curls more into Kyungsoo.

“Chanyeol, you are scaring her.” Minseok says with a chuckle.

“Sorry.” The Chanyeol guy says while he keeps his gaze on her.

“And now, this is my girlfriend Jongdae. And this is Yixing, the dance team leader and his girlfriend, Joonmyeon.”

The two newcomers nod their head at each one Minseok is mentioning.

“The girls are Kyungsoo and Baekhyun. Say hi to them but don’t scare them again.”

“Which one is who?” The Sehun guy asks.

“The clingy koala is Baekhyun.”

Baekhyun narrows her eyes playfully at Jongdae’s comment. She is not clingy and she is not a koala, damn that dino girl.

Joonmyeon laughs at that and Yixing hides his chuckle by pressing his face against Joonmyeon’s bony shoulder.

Even Kyungsoo is laughing at the comment and Baekhyun unconsciously grumbles under her breathe.

“Cute.” The Chanyeol guy whispers, taking Baekhyun’s attention back at him.

It’s the first time a guy is complimenting her directly and Baekhyun chooses to ignore him.

Ten minutes after them chatting lightly, Kyungsoo tugs onto her arm and shows her pink wrist watch to her, indicating that they only have five minutes to walk to their next class.

“We have to go now.” Kyungsoo announces, pulling Baekhyun up from her seat and motions for Jongdae and Joonmyeon to get up as well because this is the class where the four of them get together.

Jongdae is peppering kisses down Minseok’s face, much to her boyfriend’s amusement. Yixing whispers in a hushed voice to Joonmyeon that he will come to pick her up later and he gives her a gentle yet innocent kiss on her lips.



Baekhyun is aware of the stare coming from the tallest guy and she keeps ignoring it, but it seems like Kyungsoo seems to notice it as well because she is nudging Baekhyun to quickly get up.

After another excessively round of kisses between Jongdae and Minseok, the four of them finally leave the cafeteria and Baekhyun unconsciously heaves out a relief sigh.

“That guy seems to be interested in you, Baekhyun.” Joonmyeon says.

Jongdae nods in agreement, “Yeah, he is too obvious.”

Kyungsoo hums softly, “You want to try it out, Baekhyun?”

Baekhyun fakes her pondering before giving them a tight lipped smile. “No, I don’t.”

“It might be our intuition as girls only, but it seems like he is greatly interested on you, Baekhyunnie. At least, don’t turn the poor guy and try if he had come up to you?” Joonmyeon says, running her palm over Baekhyun’s straight hair.

She sighs.

“I don’t know.”

She is not really interested in having a relationship though.



Yixing comes giving Joonmyeon a quick kiss when their class ends. Baekhyun stares at them with a soft gaze because those two are seriously the sweetest. They don’t talk much but she could see how big the love between them.

Jongdae grumbles again because Minseokhas gone to the gym, fattening those muscles again. It’s not like she dislikes her boyfriend’s muscled figure (she secretly likes it moreover when he manhandles her in her room) but she wants a simple date with her boyfriend. Poor Jongdae, Baekhyun thinks as she squeezes her friend’s fingers.

“I’ve got to go now.” Kyungsoo says, untying her hair from the ponytail and lets her super soft (in Baekhyun’s mind) hair swinging onto her lower back.

“Where are you going?” Baekhyun stops her before she could run away. Kyungsoo sends her one apologetic smile, so tender and gentle, making Baekhyun unable to get mad at her.

“My mom texts me and she needs help right away at home. Apparently, my three cousins are over and she is losing her head.” She reasons, chuckling at the image of her mother being helpless at the state of his little cousins ruining her house.

Baekhyun giggles and nods her head. “Alright. Say hi to Minah, Minjae, and Minki for me.”

“Will do. See you, Baekhyunnie.” Kyungsoo smiles before waving to her and them runs off. Joonmyeon and Jongdae are off to their own mind to even realize their shortest friend is gone.



Baekhyun waves bye towards Jongdae when her friend gets into the car of her brother, Jonghyun, who comes to pick her up.

Yixing has gone long, dragging Joonmyeon with him and they are off to their date somewhere.

She walks towards the front gate to just catch a bus to go back home. It’s her turn to bring up lunch tomorrow and she wonders what she should prepare. Her cooking is not as skilled as Kyungsoo and she is not as detailed like Joonmyeon, but at least she is better than Jongdae.

Someone taps her on her shoulder and Baekhyun spins on her heels, meeting the same eyes of the stranger she has just come to know a few hours ago.

Her body trembles as what her friends told her before comes ringing in her head.

“Baekhyun, isn’t it?” The deep voice says and Baekhyun nods her head.

“Yes. How should I help you?” She offers politely. The guy smiles charmingly at her.

“I’m Chanyeol, if you didn’t remember.” He says, a bit embarrassed but keeping his calm demeanor.

Baekhyun nods.

“I remember.”

“Just in case.” He says, shrugging nonchalantly.

“So, what should I help you with?” Baekhyun offers once again.

The guy is so tall that Baekhyun has to lift her head up, neck strained and it starts to get uncomfortable. The guy seems to realize that she is uncomfortable because he bends his knees to get onto her eye level.

He grins.

“I just wish we could, you know, talk a bit more and know each other better?”

Baekhyun squeezes her fingers.

“I’m sorry but I’m not interested in… whatever this is you are offering. I have to go now. I’m sorry, once again.” She mutters softly as to not to hurt his feeling before she runs towards the gate and tries to catch the bus up.

She doesn’t dare to look back.



The night comes and Baekhyun has finished her papers sooner than she thinks she would. Her sister is coming back home tomorrow for a three days off from her work and her mother just couldn’t contain her happiness.

Well, Baekhyun also couldn’t wait to see her Kibumunnie again.

Done with stuffing her papers back into the folder, she goes to brush her teeth. Her phone beeps for a new text message when she is changing into her pajamas. Thinking that it might be Kyungsoo’s message in their group of four to remind them about their assignments, Baekhyun ignores it.

She is wrong, however, when she finds out that the message is from an unknown numbers.

Hi, Baekhyun.

Who the hell messages her? It better be not a joke.

Who’s this?

Well, she is curious enough to abandon it.

It’s Chanyeol. Got your number from Minseok.

Baekhyun sighs.

This Chanyeol guy is hard-headed. Let’s just see where this is going.
