Baekhyun | Not Good

Song: Boy In Luv - BTS

"I saw."

They were alone. He didn't want any more of them to come after him. The darkness of night gave him an illusion of being something he was not. Something they were starting to believe to be true.

"I—" His friend cleared his throat. "You should just tell me."

Baekhyun said nothing.

Chanyeol tried again.

"I don't care, you know." Chanyeol said in a low voice. "I really don't. You know me."

Baekhyun's lips were a tight line. He stared at Chanyeol, whose face was flushed from the alcohol, yet whose eyes showed enough clarity Baekhyun could not pretend this confrontation was a drunk man being unreasonable.

"I saw you with the girl. Didn't mean to," said Chanyeol, "I—

"You should've told me about this. They're—"

He sighed. "They're just surprised. Who is that girl anyway?"

Baekhyun kept silent.

Chanyeol stared at him.

"I'm on your side. You know that. There is nothing you can't tell me—"

"There is no 'my side.' It is what it is."

Baekhyun's tone was cold. "You said you saw."

He could tell Chanyeol was taken aback by his unfriendly demeanor.

"What you saw is the truth."

"Then why don't you want them to know?"

"Because they'd all do what you are doing to me right now, asking for explanations that I don't have."

"You know that's not what I'm doing, Byun Baekhyun."

He knew Chanyeol wasn't going to take his attitude. He watched the frown form slowly on his best friend's face.

"I don't want your motives," said Chanyeol, "I want to know why my best friend is not telling me anything—"

"Best friend?"

Chanyeol laughed.

"Oh, great. Now you are going to tell me I am not your best friend—"

"If you were I would have told you."

The hurt on Chanyeol's face silenced Baekhyun. He was supposed to say something crueler to upset Chanyeol even more, but now he couldn't do it.

"I don't want to talk about this. You should go back."

He cocked his head toward where they had left the rest of EXO. "I want to be alone."

"The girl. How did you meet her?"

"Don't blame it on her."

"Where did you two meet? Since when?"

"Why don't you take a guess?" Baekhyun said mockingly.

"She's not into you."

"Apparently you are though."

"She's using you."

"You should stop talking about my girl."

Chanyeol cracked a smile.

"How much do you wanna bet, Baekhyunnie? I say she's gonna be my girl if I pay more."

"I forgot you specialize in taking used."

Chanyeol was too angry to speak.

"Go back, Park Chanyeol."

Baekhyun studied Chanyeol's hurt face, seeing through the anger effortlessly. He spoke in a softer tone. "I'm fine. I know you're worried. You don't need to be."

"You're really not going to tell me anything?"

Baekhyun sighed. "You saw everything, didn't you?"

"It's not what it is."

"It is."

"I would believe that if I weren't your best friend, but unfortunately I know you better."

"Why do you think I'm better than what I am?"

"Why are you trying so hard to make me believe you are something you are not?"

"I'm not good."

"Okay. Tell me how bad you are."

Baekhyun smiled faintly. "You think so highly of me.

"Are you sure you're ready for the truth?"
