"Wait! Wait! Wait!"

Baekhyun yelled at everyone. And so they all froze looking at him in shock. "What now?" Chen cried, fixing the position of his luggage. Baekhyun looked around the airport. "Chanyeol isn't here yet! He said he wanted to say goodbye."

"We're going to miss our flight, let's just FaceTime him later." Xiumin motioned to him, his passport in his hand. "Chanyeol you idiot" Baekhyun frowned. He wanted to see him one last time. It was going to be months before he could come back. After realizing how he felt about him. He wanted to see more of him, hear more of his voice. Touch him...

Baekhyun shook his head wildly. He couldn't do that. Chanyeol didn't feel that way about him. He didn't even think he liked guys. "Ya Baekhyun!" Chen yelled again, Baekhyun sighed running towards them, gripping his plane ticket. He went through security check slowly, trying to see if he could at least wave to Chanyeol. He didn't show up. Xiumin wrapped an arm around him and smiled "You excited? We're officially touring artists."

That's right. For now he should focus on CBX. Baekhyun grinned back at him. "Aye I knew we could it! You can thank me."

"You!" Chen kicked him "It's because of my voice that we won."

Xiumin rolled his eyes at the two. "Okay, all three of us." Baekhyun dramatically rubbed his shin. "CBX move to the first class line." Manager Lee directed them slowly.

"First class?" Baekhyun almost yelled. Was he really about to live the good life? They walked into the plane looking at their individual stations that counted as a seat. If you could even call it that. Baekhyun was able to turn his seat into a bed, a small tv was placed in front of him, as well as a small desk filled already with snacks. "I could get used to this." Baekhyun looked over at Chen who was already searching for a movie to watch.

"This is your schedule for tomorrow, rehearsals start at four am sharp so we will meet at the hotel lobby, all the information is here." Manager Lee handed him a beige folder, before going towards Xiumin.

"Four in the morning!?" Baekhyun whined. Throwing the folder at the end of his station. "Well if this is the life of an idol I should get used to it." He muttered nodding to himself. The plane took off and his heart raced, here he was singing again. Actually making a career out of it.

His life was finally beginning and for the better.

(Chanyeol pov)

"It's snowing and raining all week and my umbrella broke so I had to come for a new one. Chanyeol don't you have somewhere to go on rainy days?" Sehun asked walking into the small apartment.

Chanyeol watched Sehun throw his umbrella into the trashcan. "Not anymore." he looked at his guitar. It would be nice to go to the gazebo but it wouldn't be the same without Baekhyun. "Ah, do you want something to eat? I'm going out with some friends, want to come with?"

Chanyeol shook his head again, smiling at Sehun. "No thanks I'm just going to practice. "

Sehun nodded, going into his room. Chanyeol looked at his phone, Baekhyun hadn't texted him. Was he mad he didn't go to the airport to say goodbye? Chanyeol wanted to, but lately they've been too clingy with each other. It felt weird. As if they couldn't breathe unless they were around each other. Chanyeol couldn't take that type of friendship, it was better to have some distance. He stood up, walking towards the balcony window.
