Pairing: Baekhyun x Reader
Genre: Mostly fluff, but smut in the next part.
Summary: Best friends since childhood. It’s inevitable to be ’shipped’ together by your friends, but you always just let their cheeky comments slide. But what if it turns out that he actually does have feelings for you? Would you just let it slide, or discover that you also need him just as much as he needs you?
A/N: I could probably spend my entire life writing about this man. Honestly. I hope you enjoy~~
(High school is a pain in the ass for sure. That’s what all the students think as they enter the gates of the place they spend a big part of their youth in. And it’s stressful as well. Y/N surely understands that as she’s failing her classes by now. Guess not studying won’t work anymore.)
’’Baekhyun, stop! I can’t focus on the teacher.” You whisper-screamed at your best friend, as he kept on poking you, trying to get your attention in any way he could.
’’But Y/N!” He whined quietly with a small pout on his lips. ’’Chemistry is so boring. You hate it too, so just turn your attention to something you actually love.” He smiled widely, while he rested his face on his fist.
You arched an eyebrow. ’’And that would be?”
’’Me. Obviously.” He winked at you and you rolled your eyes at him as an answer.
He watched you in fake disbelief and smacked your shoulder. ’’Yah! Don’t even deny it.”
’’Shhh!” You tried shushing him, as you saw the teacher watching you, but it was already too late.
’’Baekhyun and Y/N, how many times do I have to tell you to shut your mouths?!” Mr. Kim shouted from the other side of the classroom.
’’I’m sorry, Sir.” You answered him, slightly glaring at Baekhyun in the process.
’’No. You know what? I’ve had it with the two of you. Detention. I expect to see the both of you later today in my office.”
You bowed and didn’t even bother looking at Baekhyun. You knew him so well, you could already tell he had the ’lost deer’ eyes activated, ready to make you forgive him immediately. Let’s just say, this isn’t the first time this happened.
You heard Chanyeol and Yixing chuckling behind the two of you.
’’Well done lovebirds” Chanyeol whispered in your ears. God, you hated it when they called you that. You’ve been friends since you were both 10. That’s 8 years of friendship. You definitely didn’t have any feelings for Baekhyun. Ew. That’s just weird. But as you were really close it was inevitable that some people would ’ship’ the two of you together. Chanyeol and Yixing were ones of these people.
The two boys behind you snickered at Chan’s ’hilarious’ joke, as you tried to ignore them.
Now it was time for Minseok to speak up from the seat in front of you: ’’Can you two in the back please shut up?! I’m trying to pay attention.” He was also a really good friend of yours, part of your ’group’. And probably the only smart guy in the team. He was the class president, as well as that one annoying friend that always got straight A-s and always understood everything the teacher talked about.
’’Give yourself a break, Minseok.” Yixing gave him the cutest smile ever. Instead of answering him Minseok turned to you. ’’Hey, you wanna switch places with Jongin for today?” He glanced at the boy sitting next to him.
’’Oh, absolutely.” Your face lit up at the idea. ’’I mean, only if he doesn’t mind.” Jongin turned and nodded with a small smile, as to signal he was fine with it.
You’ve never spoken much to Jongin, a few sentences a year maybe. He was also very smart, that’s why Minseok and him got along so well. And that’s exactly why he disliked your friends, Baekhyun the most. That small smile of his soon disappeared as he noticed what he actually agreed to.
He stared at Baekhyun with an expressionless face, as you switched places. ’’You better not bother me.” He warned your best friend, while you got all cozy in your new seat next to Minseok.
The rest of the class went pretty well, other than the constant feeling of someone’s eyes boring into the back of your head. Whatever, you were probably just being paranoid as usually.
As chemistry ended you didn’t wait for Baekhyun, you gathered your stuff and quickly took off towards the office of Mr. Kim. Two minutes after you entered, so did Baekhyun. He took a seat next to you quietly, and from the corner off your eye you could tell he searched your face. Mr. Kim, sitting in front of you, looked up from his laptop and started.
’’You guys…” He sighed. ’’I hate holding you here for detention. You know that, right?”
’’Then why can’t you just behave for once?” He honestly seemed more stressed than angry, you actually felt slightly bad for him. ’’I know that you probably don’t care about chemistry, and that’s why I don’t bother you with questions during class… But then at least just don’t bother the students that really do want to study. Okay?” The two of you nodded again.
’’Okay, I’m glad we have an understanding. But don’t think for a moment I’ll let you off without punishment.” Both of your faces scrunched up a bit at that. ’’There are a few papers in the library, just sort them out by date and we’ll be fine.
’’A few? Really?!” Baekhyun exclaimed, staring at the piles of papers, that were about as tall as you.
You sighed tiredly, seeing how much work he gave you. ’’Whatever.”
’’Whatever? Y/N? Are you seeing this?!” He asked in disbelief. ’’This is like 4 hours of work, and it’s already 5 pm.”
’’So… We better get to work quickly.” You told him.
’’We’re never getting home.” He sighed.
After 2 hours of work you decided to take a break. Baekhyun lied on the floor, holding the phone close to his ear. ’’Sorry mom. There’s a lot of work, I can’t leave yet. I’ll be late tonight. Don’t wait up for me.”
You texted Chanyeol about how you were doing with detention. You rolled your eyes as his response lit up on the screen.
’’You lovebirds. Enjoy your time together.” You could already see the smirk he wore while writing this message to you.
’’No, I think I’ll take Y/N home first.” You stared at Baekhyun, as you interrupted him.
’’Baek, I’m fine, I’ll walk, you go home.”
’’Okay, bye mom!” He hung up and turned to you.
’’Baekhyun, I’ll walk. I’m serious.”
’’Y/N, just because you’re mad at me, you can’t walk home alone in the dark. You know I would never let that happen.” He told you, while he focused on his phone again.
’’Me wanting to walk home has nothing to do with that.” You crossed your arms in front of your chest.
’’So you admit you’re mad?” He smiled cheekily.
’’Aw, great. You’re quite cute when you’re mad.”
’’Shut it Baekhyun, I’m serious!” You exclaimed.
’’I’m serious!” He mimicked you with a wide smile.
You shot up from your seat and ran to his, ready to smack him, but he grabbed you by the wrist and pulled you down with him, so now you were straddling him. You halted, feeling your cheeks go slightly red. You were not used to being this close to Baekhyun. Sure , you were best friends, but this has never happened before. From here you could inspect his beautiful slightly red lips, something you’ve never really noticed before. In fact, now that you noticed them, a strange feeling inside you has awoken. Something that told you ’kiss him’.
’’Y/N… Don’t be mad at me anymore.’’ He whispered, while wearing a bright smile. You stared deeply into his eyes, before you returned to reality. You quickly stood up, while he remained on the ground.
’’Fine.” You told him. ’’But you owe me.” You reached towards him, to help him up.
’’I’m okay with that.’’ He answered, while he accepted the gesture.
’’Now let’s get back to work, I don’t want to be here until tomorrow morning.” You laughed a bit.
You just finished up as your phone buzzed. You got a notification that it was apparently ’time for sleep’. It was already 11pm.
You walked about half an hour until you finally got to your house. You searched for your keys in your bag, until you finally heard the familiar clanging of them.
’’I’ll go now I guess.” Baekhyun said, as he waved a little your way, ready to take off.
’’Uh, yeah. Sure.” You said. He smiled a little and turned around as to leave.
’’Baekhyun!” You shouted after him. He turned around with a puzzled expression. ’’Why don’t you stay here for tonight?” You asked slightly awkwardly. This has happened before, so why did it feel different now? You ignored the strange feeling, returning your attention to your best friend.
’’Oh, it’s okay I’ll go home.” He answered smiling.
’’But you live about another half hour from here, don’t be ridiculous.”
’’No, it’s fine. I’ll go home.” You nodded.
’’Alone” He said stepping away from you.
’’Probably won’t get attacked.” He continued.
’’Won’t get murdered on the way-’’ You grabbed his arm while laughing. He was hilarious. You did really love him…
Only as a friend. Surely.
Once in your room, you passed him an oversized t-shirt he had left there after his last sleepover. ’’Goodnight!” You told him.
’’Goodnight.” He answered, and plopped down on your bed comfortably.
You scoffed in disbelief. ’’You don’t really think you’re sleeping here tonight, right?” You raised your eyebrows.
He turned to his side towards you, supporting his head with his hand. ’’But Y/N, of course I will.” He chuckled. ’’As my best friend, who also has a double bed, it is your duty to provide me with peaceful and relaxed sleep.” You smiled at that. ’’And I have slept here before anyway.”
You stood there for another moment before you decided to give in. ’’Oh fine, just don’t kick me in your sleep again.”
’’I’ll make sure.” He sat up and took off the shirt he wore to school that day. You haven’t seen his torso for a while now, and you were more than taken aback by what you were seeing. He definitely started working out. Everyday, under his shirt he hid those abs? How did you not notice?!
You didn’t have much time to ’enjoy the view’, as he soon slipped the oversized t-shirt over his head. However, when you came back from your trance, you were met by that well-known smirk Baek sometimes did.
’’Did you like what you’ve seen?” He asked playfully.
Only now did you notice that you had a faint smile on your lips. You quickly got rid of it though.
’’Are you insane?” You asked, taking your spot in your bed. He chuckled quietly before getting under the sheet too.
’’Goodnight Y/N.” He whispered.
’’Goodnight Baek.” You answered as you turned off the light of your bedside lamp.
The next morning you woke up to the sound of the alarm you set together for 5:30 am. It was super early, but you both agreed that you should go to Baekhyun’s house before school and get his stuff, if he didn’t want any more detention, for missing school supplies this time.
Annoyed and tired, you turned off the alarm and smacked your phone back on your bedside table.
’’Ugh! It’s too early.” You heard Baekhyun groan from behind you.
You sat up and re-checked the time on your phone, also you read the groupchat you were in with the boys.
Yixing: Why the hell aren’t they answering?
Minseok: They’re in detention dumb-ass. You think they can use their phones there?
Chanyeol: Ooh, they’re surely ’busy’ right now.
You scoffed and rolled your eyes at that.
Baekhyun: We were very ’busy’ indeed.
You turned around in your place and shot him a glare. He looked up from his phone with a big smile. ’’What?” He pretended he was oblivious. ’’I just said we were busy.”
’’Hey guys, good morning! Come downstairs, I’ve made breakfast.” You heard your mother’s voice from your door. ’’Baekhyun did you sleep well?”
’’Yes, I did.” He smiled widely, knowing he was magically saved from your wrath. He got out of your bed and followed your mother to the kitchen.
’’Your lucky ass just got saved. I hope you’re happy.” You muttered under your breath when he passed you. He winked at you as an answer and left your room, following the smell of coffee.
Once you got dressed you followed Baekhyun to the kithcen. He was already sipping on his morning coffee and eating some kind of pastry, so you joined him.
’’I’ve talked to Baekhyun, Y/N. We decided it’s best if I take you to his house by car, so he can get ready in time.” Your mother told you and you nodded at that.
An hour later you were sitting in Baekhyun’s room as he was trying to choose something to wear.
’’What do you think about this?” He picked up a yellow sweater from his wardrobe.
’’I’m not sure.” You shrugged. ’’I think red looks better on you. It fits your extra personality.”
’’Was that a compliment?” He furrowed his eyebrows.
’’I don’t know.” You buried yourself in your phone as he chose a red hoodie.
Chanyeol: Do you want me to pick you up today?
Yeah, something great about Chanyeol was that he actually had a license, so he would usually pick you up in the morning as he went to school.
Y/N: No, you don’t have to. I’m at Baek’s anyway.
Chanyeol: You didn’t sleep there, did you?
You stared at the small winky face emoji he attached to his last message before answering him.
Y/N: Stop it Chan. We are just friends.
Chanyeol: Are you sure he feels that way too?
What is he talking about? You and Baekhyun shared everything with each other all the time. You couldn’t imagine there’d be something he felt that you wouldn’t know about.
’’Whatever.” You mumbled to yourself, ignoring his message. You pushed your phone into your pocket and stared at Baekhyun, as a signal that you were ready to leave.
Soon the two of you began your way of walking to the school. You managed to miss the bus, and therefore you were probably going to miss your first class.
’’What is it with your sudden interest in chemistry?” Baekhyun asked you. ’’I mean, you always hated it, and never understood a word of it, and now you suddenly really try.”
’’Baekhyun… I’m failing. And not just in one class. In 4. And chemistry is one of them.” You told him, slight stress in your voice.
Baekhyun gave you a sad, understanding smile in return.
’’Ugh, I think I’ll need a tutor at this point.”
Baekhyun’s eyes shot up from the floor to your face. ’’A- A tutor? I’ll tutor you.”
You laughed as you thought it was just a joke. ’’Funny. But yeah I really need to do better. I’ve been thinking someone really smart from our class could help. You know, one of the straight A-s.” You told him.
’’Jongin-’’ You said at the same time as him.
’’Jongin?” He asked with disgust in his voice. ’’Are you hearing yourself?”
’’Why?” You laughed a little.
’’Jongin is an asshole, why would you even try to befriend him?”
’’I don’t want to befriend him. I just really need a tutor.”
’’So why not Minseok then?” He asked frustratedly.
’’Because Minseok is my friend and we’d probably just end up talking after 15 minutes.”
Baekhyun scoffed and shook his head in disbelief.
’’Oh come on. Jongin’s not that bad. He’s smart and also he was really cute and nice to me the other day.” You smiled to yourself.
Baekhyun just stared at you with a blank expression and you tried to decode what might have been going on in his head.
’’Fine, whatever.” He said. ’’Go and get tutored by Jongin, what do I care?” He quickened his steps and entered the school’s gates as you have arrived.
’What’s his problem?’ You thought to yourself.
You entered the classroom about a minute after Baekhyun, however to your suprise, Chanyeol has already occupied your spot next to him. You tried to make any kind of eye-contact with your best friend, but he refused to. Yixing gestured for you to sit down next to him, so you did.
’’Baekhyun, I don’t know why you’re acting like this. Just tell me.” Chanyeol glanced at Baekhyun, who was still ignoring you.
’’What’s wrong with him?” You asked Chanyeol and Yixing this time, but they also just shrugged as they didn’t know anything. You sighed frustratedly and decided it was better to just get ready for class.
After school Chanyeol took you home. You thanked him quietly, still not understanding what was wrong with your best friend. Before you could get out, he grabbed your forearm and pulled you back.
’’Y/N… You’re probably confused. Rigth?” You nodded at that.
’’I don’t understand anything. He’s so weird lately.” You massaged your temple, trying to relieve all the stress from that day.
’’I don’t know how to tell you this, but… You’re also weird.” He laughed at himself and you punched him on his arm.
’’Y/N, I know this became kind of taboo to you by now, but is there any chance that you might have feelings for him?” Seeing you roll your eyes he added. ’’I’m serious, think about it.”
This was the first time you actually started to think about how you felt. You always pushed these thoughts away, because he’s obviously only a friend, but is it really that obvious? You stared at Chanyeol for a bit before you told him-
It was almost midnight later that same day. A very frustrated and tired Minseok slowly made his way to the front door of his house, ready to tell the person that rang the doorbell for the third time now, to fuck off. He was, let’s just say, not in a very good mood. He opened the door and glanced out of it.
’’Oh what the hell?!” He asked while yawning.
’’Do you tutor people?” Baekhyun asked him.
’’It’s 12pm Baekhyun! Go home!” He exclaimed.
’’Do you?” He re-asked Minseok.
’’Yes. But I thought Y/N choose Jongin as a tutor.”
’’It’s not for Y/N. It’s for me. You’d have to tutor me.” Baekhyun told him.
Minseok furrowed his eyebrows, still only half awake.
Baekhyun took a sharp breath, while he tried to collect all the things he wanted to say.
’’Because I want to tutor Y/N.”
’’And why is that?” Minseok asked, not understanding his friend at all.
