“It’s okay,” Kris says, “I’m sure he’ll come soon.”
Baekhyun chews on his lower lip. Kris is his appa and appas are always right but Baekhyun is a big boy now and this time, he thinks that Kris might not be so right. Kyungsoo isn’t here yet and Baekhyun doesn’t think he’s coming because yesterday Baekhyun did Something Bad and Luhan-seonsaengnim had moved his sticker down a step on the Ladder to Candyland, where, if you reach the top at the end of the term, you’ll get a chocolate bar. Kyungsoo always gets a chocolate bar because he’s good and he’s well-behaved and he helps seonsaengnim tidy away the books at the end of class, and Baekhyun’s only gotten it once but he doesn’t mind because Kyungsoo always shares his chocolate with him.
(He misses Kyungsoo.)
The grip he has on Kris tightens, mitten-covered hand wrapped around Kris’s finger, and he glances backwards to see if Kyungsoo’s here yet. Kyungsoo is never late; they always come at the same time, ten minutes before the bell rings so they can play together. Usually, it’s Baekhyun chasing Kyungsoo down until he catches him and tickles him until Kyungsoo is laughing and gasping for breath, but Kyungsoo isn’t here today and it’s weird. His routine is broken, and it’s weird.
“Appa,” says Baekhyun. “Why isn’t Soo coming?”
He looks up at the big clock on the front of the school building. He can’t really tell the time all that well yet but the little hand is nearly at nine and that means school is nearly starting and all he’s thinking is: Where is Kyungsoo?
“Don’t worry, baby,” murmurs Kris. “He’ll be here soon. Don’t worry. Appa will wait here with you, okay?”
Baekhyun feels a bit bad because Appa has to work and he’s probably making Appa late so that’s why Appa likes to drop him off early, and his umma, Yixing, works early too. It's not exactly the best setup for two parents with a seven year old kid but they make it work. Today, though, Baekhyun doesn't want to stand by himself without Kyungsoo so he holds onto Kris's hand as if he'll leave too if he lets go, and waits.
Kyungsoo does come eventually. One minute before the bell goes, there's a slam of a car door and then Kyungsoo is walking through the gates with his appa, Sehun, in tow. Baekhyun can't quite place Kyungsoo's facial expression when he calls his name and Kyungsoo turns around and gives him this look before he turns away. Sehun looks apologetically at Kris and opens his mouth to say something but then the bell is ringing and seonsaengnim is coming out to collect them. He sees Sehun pressing a quick kiss to Kyungsoo's cheek and Kyungsoo making a face and wiping the wet kiss off--he doesn't like it when Baekhyun does that to him either--and he feels a similar kiss on his cheek as Kris scoops him up in his arms and lifts him up, hugging him to his warm chest.
"Be a good boy today, okay?" he says, kissing Baekhyun's nose. His stubble tickles. Baekhyun giggles, temporarily forgetting the whole Kyungsoo crisis, and nods, because appa's kisses make everything better--his scraped knees and red puffy eyes and his sad heart.
Kris puts Baekhyun down again and Baekhyun latches onto his leg, giving him one last hug before he runs off into the building where Luhan-seonsaengnim is waving at him and Kyungsoo is walking inside, pulling off his woolly hat.
"Soo!" Baekhyun yells, breathless, when he finally catches up.
Kyungsoo gives him that look again and frowns, eyes narrowed. "Go away," he says bluntly, hanging his parka over his hat and scarf onto the hook with his name on it.
Baekhyun has only been told to go away twice in his life. Once, from his umma when he had walked into their bedroom and she had been doing something underneath the covers with Appa in bed, and once from Jongdae, the boy in class B, who he had accidentally opened the toilet cubicle door to when he had been looking for a free toilet in the bathrooms.

"But Soo, I already said I was sorry! I didn't mean it...I miss you," he says sadly, hanging his yellow mackintosh next to Kyungsoo's.
Kyungsoo just hmphs and turns away.
♥♡♥
Baekhyun tries talking to Kyungsoo again during class but Kyungsoo is doing a really good job with ignoring him.
"Soo," Baekhyun coos softly under his breath so seonsaengnim doesn't hear and tell him off again. He pokes Kyungsoo's elbow. "Soo..."
"I'm mad at you," Kyungsoo simply says, shoving him away.
The chair scrapes back with a loud noise as Baekhyun stumbles a bit. Seonsaengnim turns around from the blackboard and frowns. A warning. Baekhyun cowers.
"Soo," Baekhyun says again, a little bit louder, and this time, the whole class turns around to look at him. He flushes pink.
"I'm mad at you," Kyungsoo says again. “I’m not talking to you.”
Baekhyun furrows his brows. “You’re talking to me now,” he points out.
When Kyungsoo glares at him, he gets the feeling that that hadn’t been the right thing to say. Kyungsoo tears a page of lined paper from his notebook and carefully scrawls something out in his loopy letters and shoves it at Baekhyun. Baekhyun’s fingers grab onto the note and he chances a glance at Kyungsoo, who’s turned back around so he’s pointedly facing the other way, before he opens up the folded paper. In Kyungsoo’s neat handwriting, it says:
Im angry at You
and im not talking to you
today and tomorrow.
P.S all day
All day is a really long time, Baekhyun thinks. And it’s weird how he still really misses Kyungsoo, even though Kyungsoo’s sitting next to him. Baekhyun doesn’t think Kyungsoo likes him anymore.
(He really, really misses Kyungsoo.)
♥♡♥
Baekhyun sits with Chanyeol at lunch because Kyungsoo isn’t talking to him. Still. And Baekhyun doesn’t know why. It’s a little hard for his seven year old brain to comprehend why his best friend is so mad at him when Baekhyun hadn’t done anything wrong, not really, and besides, it hadn’t been his fault. It hadn’t been his fault that he had needed an eraser and that no one else in the class had one (except for Joonmyeon, but Joonmyeon is mean and he doesn’t let anyone borrow his stuff) and that he had to use the one on top of Kyungsoo’s pencil. And it hadn’t been his fault that Kyungsoo hadn’t let him borrow it because he was, quote, unquote, “using it,” but Baekhyun had really needed it and that left him no choice but to snatch it out of Kyungsoo’s small chubby hands and that was when the Thing happened. Kyungsoo’s pencil, a glittery one in his favourite colour, blue, had snapped in half as Baekhyun had wrenched it from Kyungsoo’s grasp, and fell to the floor in two broken pieces. It hadn’t really been his fault because he hadn’t meant for it to happen; it just kind of happened and he hadn’t expected Kyungsoo’s eyes to water up and for tears to spill out of the corners. It hadn’t been his fault at all. And now, Kyungsoo’s mad at him and it’s stupid and it’s dumb and Kyungsoo’s stupid and dumb and he doesn’t think he likes Kyungsoo either now if Kyungsoo doesn’t like him.
He doesn’t really like not liking Kyungsoo though because he doesn’t like sitting with Chanyeol. Chanyeol is nice and he’s a bit like Baekhyun--he’s playful and he likes to joke around--but he gets irritating after five minutes and Chanyeol’s appa doesn’t make him nice lunches like Kyungsoo’s appa does so Baekhyun can’t steal any food from him. He misses stealing food from Kyungsoo. Chanyeol is loud and he keeps hitting Baekhyun and he doesn’t know how strong he actually is and Baekhyun thinks he’ll get a lot of bruises tomorrow. Chanyeol is a little bit gross and he keeps laughing when his mouth is full of food and Baekhyun can see bits of lettuce sticking out from between his lips when he’s talking. Kyungsoo never does that. Kyungsoo nags him when he does that because Kyungsoo says his appa says that talking with your mouth full is rude and he says Jongin-umma says that only naughty boys talk with their mouths full.

“Let me see!” Chanyeol suddenly pipes up, doing grabby hands at him.
Baekhyun jerks back from Chanyeol’s wide grin and shining eyes and glowers at him. “No,” he says.
“I want to see! Let me see!” says Chanyeol insistently, reaching over to take it from him.
Baekhyun tries to move it out of his grasp but Chanyeol’s arms are too long and he snatches it from Baekhyun’s tight grip, pulling it out along with Baekhyun. Baekhyun falls forward, flat onto his face, and the note is crumpled in Chanyeol’s big, clumsy hands from his fist. It hurts, his face hurts and his nose hurts and his cheek hurts, but Baekhyun isn’t going to cry, he isn’t. He gets up and his eyes are watering but he isn’t going to cry.
“Oh,” says Chanyeol. “I--”
Baekhyun scrubs at his eyes and yanks the note back with an angry scowl. He hates Chanyeol. He isn’t going to cry but he thinks he hates Chanyeol because Chanyeol’s stupid and dumb and he’s nosy and annoying. Bringing his fist up to hit at Chanyeol’s big, stupid monkey arms--and he wants to hit Chanyeol’s stupid, dumb face too, with his stupid dumb smile and his stupid dumb wide eyes--his hand is flying over until there’s a comforting hand on his and he turns to see a tear-blurred Kyungsoo looking softly at him. He doesn’t say anything because the day hasn’t ended yet and he still isn’t talking to Baekhyun but he slips his fingers in between Baekhyun’s and leads him away to the infirmary, leaving a gaping Chanyeol behind.
The nurse tells him he’s got a scrape on his cheek and it’s bleeding a little bit, and his knees are bleeding too. She bandages his knees and puts a dinosaur band-aid on his face and Kyungsoo is holding his hand all the while. It’s scary because the infirmary smells like antiseptic and hospitals but it’s less scary when Kyungsoo is here. He still doesn’t like Kyungsoo (he thinks) but he misses Kyungsoo and now that he’s here, it’s better.
When the nurse turns around, he feels a wet kiss on his cheek, right where the band-aid is. And then, on the back of his hand where his knuckles have been hurt, and Kyungsoo is blinking at him with round eyes, cheeks blushing. He takes the paper that’s still clenched in Baekhyun’s fist and grabs a pen from the nurse’s desk. His legs swing on the bench as he scrawls something else down to the note and gives it back to Baekhyun. Baekhyun sucks his bottom lip into his mouth and reads the note.
P.s.S I still love You.
Oh.
Kyungsoo loves him, and Baekhyun thinks that he doesn’t really dislike Kyungsoo; he thinks he might love Kyungsoo if Kyungsoo loves him. He thinks he might love Kyungsoo in the way Appa and Umma because when Appa tells Umma he loves her, he always kisses her and that’s what Baekhyun wants to do to Kyungsoo right now. He leans over shyly and kisses Kyungsoo back on the cheek, a wet sloppy kiss, and Kyungsoo doesn’t really like it when Baekhyun kisses him, but this time, he doesn’t pull back.
He quickly writes something back and hands it to Kyungsoo, who opens it, heart shaped lips stretching into a smile.
P.Ss.s you are my Best frend and i love You too.
