Hard to Love - (chanbaek)

90

The white-haired male entered the room with his textured black suit. The front of the blazer revealed his red silk shirt that stopped at the beginning of his chest. His prominent collar bones could be seen as well as his toned upper body. His silver necklaces rested on top of his naked skin, while his other jewelry settled above. His dangling earrings shined under the bright light, along with the chain that settled on top of his black mask. Everyone, except for his brother, immediately felt a strong push lead them towards the male. His attractive aura was no joke. He was definitely a handsome man, even with a mask covering his face.

Chanyeol let his eyes roam the stranger's body as he took in every detail of his figure. He shook his head at the shocking thoughts that suddenly filled his mind. The second command of the Royals was very appealing to observe, but... he felt guilty for focusing on another man. His saliva trailed down his throat as he harshly gulped his improper ideas. Chan closed his eyes for a few seconds before focusing on the drug bag with eagerness. He knew his mind would only fog up with interest if he stared at the male. He tried to ignore the intense attraction force, but he ended up shifting his attention back to Daehyun when the pair began to communicate.

"What are you doing here?" Baekhyun notices the panic in his widened eyes. He stares at the Blue Blood members and instantly regrets leaving the house. He nearly shrinks under their intense stares, but... he had to keep his composure. He swallowed his agonizing fears and lifted his hands to sign.

"You asked me to come for the meeting." Daehyun rubbed his forehead, feeling the painful migraine begin to form. He turned to his brother with a worried stare. His eyes nearly twitched from the underlying stress he was experiencing.

"I sent you a message." Baekhyun tilted his head in curiosity. He hadn't received any messages, and he would have seen it because he was previously using his device in the car.

"Message?" The older shook his head, noticing the confusion of the other. He pointed at the door and signed for him to go while speaking.

"Wait with Sebastian. The meeting hasn't started so let me deal with this trade. I'll meet you upstairs." Baekhyun nodded before turning to the guests behind his brother. He bowed with respect, his heart slightly tightening at the uncomfortable situation he had suddenly found himself in. He turned on his heels, preparing to leave until a voice called out for him.

"Isn't he in charge of the drug department? Let him check our products." Baek froze. He turned his head, giving the owner of the voice a glare with his side-eye. He tensed up when he noticed the face he could clearly recognize. Chanyeol was smiling at him with his usual cheeky grin. His ears were still poking out of his black hair that had seemed shorter. Baek analyzed his facial features feeling his own lips begin to rise. The taller seemed more serious, and his eyes weren't as hostile as before. But, they still didn't hold their shimmering glow of happiness. One thing that never changed was the fact that he remained extremely handsome. Baekhyun felt the memories of the past fill his head like an empty glass. The empty cup was now overflowing, and water trailed down the sides of the glass in a slow manner.

He averts his eyes towards his brother, who is just as annoyed. Daehyun is about to speak, but Chanyeol beats him to it with a few convincing phrases.

"We want to show you that we're serious. This isn't a facade so-"

"I understand." Daehyun turned to the younger, who simply sighed upon hearing his words. Baek knew checking the products would probably take a few minutes. It wasn't that much of a bother, and it would allow him and his brother to leave faster. He approached the table with his palm up. Daehyun silently handed him the sharp knife with a soft smile. He gulped when he noticed how close he currently was to his old peers. He mentally thanked his heart for not accelerating. He had to stay serene, and his hands were fortunately not shaking to a visible extent.
