Madelyn story part 4 
 
 Chanyeol walked down a old familar path. He was thinking about.... 
 He walked in his new favorite cafe. He noticed there were less people here than usual. He ordered his usual. Then he saw his friend, Madelyn sitting alone looking out at the window. He slid in the seat eager to say hello. `` Hi Madelyn!'' he almost shouted.The cashier looked at him. He apolegtic nodded. Madelyn turned to him,'' Oh, hey Chanyeol'' she said. `` Did you like the party?'' he asked. `` Yeah, it was nice,'' she answered drearily. Chanyeol smiled, he was pleased with himself. `` I suppose you left early because you had to study. `` he said. `` Yeah,'' she said plainly. `` Or something like that `` she thought. Madelyn eyebrows furrowed, “ Can I ask you something?''. `` Sure'' he answered. She paused for a brief second. Chanyeol skimmed his mind of possible things she could ask. Finally she asked, `` What was the first thing you noticed about me?''. Chanyeol did n't expect that, he thought it over. `` Why would you ask that?'' he asked curiously. `` I asked you first'' she said playfully with a hint of bitterness. `` Well..,'' he said scratching the back of his head, trying to find the words. `` Why did I start talking to her?... She was new & I found out she was smart & funny & -'' he stopped thinking before he admits his feelings to himself. `` I never saw a foreigner in this cafe before, so I said hello.'' he said. `` Oh, ok'' she said as she frowned. Chanyeol did n't expect a negative reaction. He tried to lighten the mood `` What did you think of me?'' he asked. `` I... do n't know, I could n't really see you'' she giggled. She became serious again. `` What do you think of me?'' she asked. `` What does she mean by that?'' he blushed at the thought. `` What do you mean?'' he asked. `` Like, am I... your friend?'' she asked.Madelyn was thinking on what to say then added,'' Like we're...'' she gestured with her hands going back and forth between them. Chanyeol was unsure by what she meant. `` Is this some sort of confession....American style?'' he thought. `` Friends?'' he guessed. `` Well, yeah but..'' Madelyn said, then added `` not special friends, or anything like that.'' Chanyeol did n't quite understand, to him a friend is a friend `` Do you want to come hang out at S.M?'' he asked. `` No thanks, I have to study, more often now... but thanks for offering. Bye Chanyeol.'' Then she left. 
 Confused, he went back to S.M. Chanyeol sat down and sighed. Nun-chucks wizzed over his head, but Chanyeol did n't give it any attention.Tao came in soon after, followed by Baekhyun.'' Hey, Chanyeol.'' he said as he retrieved his weapon. `` Hey, man is something wrong?'' he asked. `` Madelyn is acting different,'' Chanyeol answered. `` That could mean she likes you,'' Tao teased. `` Of course she does, were friends,'' Chanyeol stated.Tao rolled his eyes, knowing how Chanyeol could be oblivious to his emotions sometimes. `` What do you mean by different?'' asked Baekhyun. Suho & Sehun walked in to get water. `` Well, she said we were friends,'' Chanyeol leaned back in his chair'' but not special friends.'' Baekhyun and Tao looked at one another, relizing how innocent their friend must be.'' A friend is a friend, right?'' Chanyeol asked. `` Well...'' Baekhyun said trying to explain. `` Seems to me, you got turned down,'' said Sehun walking over with a cup of water. `` Do n't you have something better to do?'' Chanyeol asked annoyed with the constant teasing. `` I did n't on the night of the party, I was so bored I talked to whatsherface,'' Sehun said cooly. “ She was pretty, but not my type. I don ’ t know why she would talk to someone like you ” Tao saw that Chanyeol's ear tips were red. Chanyeol's facial features darkened, wiping away his baby face. `` What?'' he asked. `` I might of told her a few things... let's just say, for the better.'' Sehun replied. `` You little-'' Chanyeol was held back by Tao and Baekhyun. `` Ya! Calm down!'' yelled Tao. `` Your the reason she is acting this way!'' Chanyeol exclaimed.He then tried to calm down by sitting. Tao & Baekhyun looked at each other then at Sehun. `` Maybe if she really liked you she would n't have believed me so easily,'' he answered wanting a reaction. Anger filled Chanyeol again. He stood up, and walked towards him. `` That's enough!'' said Suho, coming between them. `` We are Exo, were not going to start problems with each other,'' he stated. Chanyeol sighed looking down at him. He knew he was right. He walked toward the door. `` Where are you going?'' asked the leader. `` For a walk'' Chanyeol answered bitterly. The door shut behind him. The room was silent. Everyone looked at Sehun. He forced a cheesy smile. `` What is wrong with you?'' asked Baekhyun. 
 *'' Maybe if she really liked you, she would n't have believed me so easily,'' * echoed through his mind. `` Like me as a friend or..'' he thought. Chanyeol did n't know what he wanted anymore. `` I'll probably never see her again,'' he thought to himself.He thought maybe it was best if he forgot about Madelyn. 
 
 Madelyn was coming home one day from college. She stopped at a balcony looking over river. `` Fancy seeing you here.'' Madelyn turned to see Sehun. `` Oh, hey,'' she answered gloomily. Sehun frowned knowing he could be responsible for her current state. He walked over to her, leaning over the balcony, looking into the water. `` I have to tell you something,'' he said with his eyes fixed on the water. `` What is it?'' she asked. `` I lied.'' he turned to her face. Madelyn ’ s face was unreadable. “ I ’ m sorry, sometimes I do things and I do n't think about how the other person feels,'' he said. Madelyn was still speechless. Feeling uneasy and the tension in the air, he said `` I hope I did n't ruin anything,'' he smiled weakly.'' No.'' she said. `` You did n't.'' she said firmly. Sehun was taken a back a little. The way Chanyeol treated her made him think that she could take a hint. `` Chanyeol is just a friend, and I'm here to study.'' she added. Sehun wondered if she was in denial, then said `` Ok..I have to go work on promotions.'' He left Madelyn to ponder.She ignored her thoughts in order to hang out with her friends. 
 
 
 Sam wanted to go to a bowling alley, and Madelyn agreed so that is where they hung out next. That night...'' Well, well, well, guys should we have a challenge?'' Reanna asked. `` What should it be?'' asked Sam. `` Loser buys us hoddeok.'' exclaimed Madelyn. `` Kai, Kai, bo!'' they said. Sam went first and had a gutter ball. The rest of the group booed. Madelyn went next and knocked down two pins. Group booed again. `` You did n't do any better, Sam!'' she yelled. They all laughed. It was a close game, but Sam lost. `` Thanks Sam'' they said. `` It's the least I can do'' she sarcasticly. `` Its a shame we ca n't meet more often,'' Reanna said. `` The next time we meet, will probably be at our weddings,'' Sam said. They all chuckled. `` Immediate love,'' said Sam. `` What's that?'' asked Reanna raising an eyebrow. `` The feeling one gets when they suddenly know they have the right one,'' she said while sighing. `` Well, at least that's what my professor said,'' she confirmed. There was a quick moment of silence. To Madelyn it felt like an eternity. Her memory flashed back to him, To Chanyeol. `` He took time out of his day to spend with me & he is an idol.'' She thought to herself. `` Idols are busy to say the least, & Sehun..'' she frowned. She thought that maybe it would be to late to find him and where would she start. Something in her gut told her to try. `` I got ta go, it's..uh... important'' Madelyn said as she rushed out the joint.
