He Was The Star

8 (Get Out)

 
Suho drived Chanyeol and him to the address Lay gave him. They were almost there when they passed a black car, not realising Baekhyun was in there with Kyungsoo driving.
 
 
"Chanyeol, we're here. Seems like this is Baekhyun's house." Suho said, parking the car.

Chanyeol quickly got out of the car, didn't even care to give a reply. He almost ran towards the house and rang the doorbell.

Suho thought about leaving but decided to wait until Baekhyun come out.

But Baekhyun wasn't. It's been five minutes but he didn't come out. Chanyeol was getting nervous now. He kept waiting. And after another five minutes Suho came too.

"Hyung, he isn't opening." Chanyeol said after spotting Suho beside him, his eyes teary.

"May be he isn't at home, Chan." Suho tried to comfort the younger.

"He is not?" Chanyeol murmured to himself. For some reason he was behaving like a child right now.

"Let's come back later?" Suho asked the younger, touching his arm lightly.

"No, hyung. I will wait for him here." Chanyeol replied stubbornly.

"But we don't know when he will come back, Chanyeol. Till when you will wait here?" Suho said in a soft tone, trying to convince the other.

"I don't care. I will wait here. I will lose him again if I go back." He was already on the verge of crying.

"Chan, you won't lose him. We will just come back later, hum?" Suho tried again.

"No-no. You can go back, hyung. I will just stay here." With that saying the giant sat on the stairs of Baekhyun's house.

"Chan!" Suho called the younger with wide eyes. But the latter seemed unbothered. "Okay then I'll wait with you too." Suho sighed and sat beside the other.
 
  
They were waiting for two hours now but no one arrived.

"You can go back, hyung. I can stay alone. I know your mom is waiting for you. It's been late." Chanyeol said while staring at the road in front of him.

Suho couldn't protest because he knows the latter is right.

"You should come with me too, Chan. It's getting dark now. You can't stay like this." Suho tried one last time.

"It's okay hyung. There's light here." The taller indicates towards the light above their head, in front of the door.

"But you haven't even eaten  anything for hours!" Suho was getting worried about the younger now.

"I will eat after talking with Baek." Chanyeol said, still looking at the road.

Suho didn't say anything and just left the other there. After almost 20 minutes he came back with food in hand.

"Here, eat this first." Suho held out the packet to the other and said.

"Hyung, I told you I won't-" he couldn't complete his sentence as Suho started talking.

"Yes, you're eating Chanyeol. Otherwise I'm taking you with me." Suho said sternly.

"Okay." Chanyeol whispered and took the packet. He doesn't wanna leave without meeting Baekhyun. He is scared that if he leaves now he will never find his Baek again.
 
  
After Chanyeol completed the food, Suho was still sitting there. So Chanyeol talked,

"Aren't you going, hyung?"

"I will. But till when you will wait? It's getting cold now." Suho asked, concerned about the actor.

"It's not that cold hyung. I will leave only after talking to Baek." He gave the older a small smile.

"Okay then." Suho sighed, defeated. Chanyeol can be so stubborn sometimes. And Suho also has to go back to his home now so he had to leave the other alone.
 
 
  
It was already midnight but there was no Baekhyun to be seen. And the giant was still waiting there, looking at the road constantly. He was shivering from the cold winds, eyes were dry from continuously staring but he didn't consider going back for once.

Suho called him to know the situation and he lied that he was with Baekhyun. Because he knew Suho would have come and take him if he heard the truth.
 
  
It was almost 4 at the morning when the giant was still sitting there.  His limbs were numb by then from the cold weather. His fingers were all white and his eyes were blur. But still he waited.
 
 
It was already morning, 7 am to be exact, when the actor started drifting off to sleep. He was too much tired.
 
 
At 9 in the morning Chanyeol heard a footsteps and he woke up from sleep. He looked at the front to see the person. He blinked his eyes few times to make his vision clear. And then he saw. The person he was waiting for was walking towards him.

He quickly stood up, almost falling in the process because of his numb legs.

"Wh-what are you doing here?" Baekhyun asked with wide eyes. He wasn't expecting to see the celebrity here, in front of his house.

"Baek." Chanyeol muttered with much difficulty, his lips were frozen from the cold.

"What are doing in front of my house?" Baekhyun repeated the question when he didn't get any answer.

"I-I-" Chanyeol couldn't find words to say so he just decided to pull out his necklace from his pocket.

"Here." He held out the necklace in his palm, with 'B' showing.

Baekhyun won't lie but he was flustered for a moment when he saw the necklace. That means Chanyeol kept it just like him.

But that doesn't mean he will forget what he did last night.

"What do you want me to do with this?" Baekhyun's voice showed no emotion which made the taller flinch a little.

"No-nothing. Just-" Chanyeol retreated his hands and shoved the necklace again in his pocket. "-just I wanted to a-apologize to you." He was stuttering from the cold and also nervousness.

Hearing the word 'apologize' triggered Baekhyun a little bit.

"Do you think apologizing will fix everything?" His voice was filled with venom.

"Ba-baek." Chanyeol felt his heart clench.

"Just forget it." Baekhyun closed his eyes and heaved a sigh,
 
 
"Get out from here."
