He Was The Star

10 (Listen to Me)

Really sorry for the late update! I was a little sick for few days so couldn't write.. Anyway enjoy now!!

Baekhyun saw another guy with Chanyeol who also waited sometimes with him. But it looked like Chanyeol didn't want to leave so the guy left without him.

He saw how Chanyeol was shivering from cold and was hugging himself to keep him warm.

He saw how Chanyeol took out the both necklaces few times and kept staring at them and one time wearing one of them.

He saw how the giant was continuously looking at the road until he dozed off at the morning.

Baekhyun was speechless after seeing all of these. He was sure he is missing something, he misunderstood Chanyeol.

"Wake up please. Tell me what you were trying to say. I'm lost, Chan." Baekhyun caressed the younger's cheeks which was still a little cold, and talked with him.

Chanyeol stirred a little as if trying to wake up. Baekhyun got flustered and pulled back his hand from the latter's cheek. But before he could pull totally the giant mumbled,

"Stay. Please. Don't go."

Baekhyun got shocked and looked at the male but his eyes were still closed.

"Chanyeol." Baekhyun whispered but seemed like the other was sleeping again.

But Baekhyun can't wait anymore.

He was so confused and so frustrated by all these things. He realized he need to hear Chanyeol's side of story. So he called him,

"Chan, hey, wake up." Baekhyun lightly shook the latter's shoulder, trying to wake him up.

Chanyeol moved again and opened his eyes this time. He groaned at the light and also from the cold he was still feeling.

"Hey, are you awake now?" Baekhyun sighed in relief after watching the taller male waking up.

"Ba-baek" Chanyeol whispered, his voice hoarse from the cold.

"Yeah." Baekhyun looked away from him, not knowing what to do now.

Chanyeol looked around him but couldn't recognize the surroundings. "Where am I?" He asked in a small voice.

"In my house." Baekhyun replied, still avoiding the other's gaze.

"Wh-why? You took me here?" Chanyeol asked with wide eyes while trying to sit up straight.

"What did you expect then when you collapsed in front of my gate?!" Baekhyun snapped at the younger, still worried about him.

"So-sorry. I didn't think th-that would happen." Chanyeol kept his head low.

"Of course you didn't think!" Baekhyun rolled his eyes, "Why were you still standing there when the rain started? You were already cold enough." He whispered the last part, still concerned about the latter.

"I'm sorry, you had troubles because of me." Chanyeol replied while staring at the ground, clearly failed to notice the concern laced on Baekhyun's voice.

"Just come to the dining. You should eat something first." Baekhyun sighed. They can continue the conversation after meal or may be while eating. He turned and left for the kitchen, the taller following him.


After a few minutes of silently eating Baekhyun couldn't bear the tension anymore so he spoke,

"So, you had something to tell me?" Baekhyun asked while staring at his half empty plate, not daring to look at the other male.

"Huh? Oh ye-yes." Chanyeol was startled from the sudden question.

"Tell me then. I will listen to you now." Baekhyun put his fork down on the plate and looked up at him, giving him all his attention. Chanyeol did the same as well, deciding that talking with Baekhyun is more important than the food right now.

"We-well, what you saw that night wa-wasn't everything. Yo-you need to know the whole truth." Chanyeol was stuttering horribly from his nervousness. He shakily looked at Baekhyun and saw him listening attentively so he continued,

"The pa-party you saw was arranged by my company. Th-they thought it will increase my popularity and also their income." He took a deep breath to control his shaky voice and his stuttering.

"It was last year when my company asked me about this and-" Chanyeol wanted to say how he had no choice but to agree with this but Baekhyun cut him off,

"And you agreed with this." He said in a mocking tone, which he didn't realize but stabbed the taller like a sharp knife.

"Ye-yes." Suddenly he didn't feel like telling Baekhyun how he was forced to agree on this.

"So it's been a year since you are fucking those groupies?" Baekhyun again stated harshly, specially emphasizing the word 'groupie' to make Chanyeol feel guilty.

"No." Chanyeol closed his eyes, trying to endure the pain in his chest. It hurts him so much when Baekhyun say something like this. "I never did it with anyone else." He continued. "That night was the first time I brought someone with me."

"Liar!" Baekhyun scoffed at the taller. "You said it yourself that you did it with others after every party!"

"Baekhyun, please listen to me." Chanyeol pleaded, his voice trembling slightly.

Baekhyun went silent after that.

"Yes I said it myself that night. But...but I didn't know it was you then. That's why I lied." He sighed heavily. "After agreeing with this arrangement I planned something with my manager. We talked with two of my friends. And they helped me on this. After every party I took them with me in front of everyone and after that I used to just leave for my home."

"Why did you even agree on this if you weren't going to do this?" Baekhyun asked him, clearly confused.

Chanyeol stayed silent for a moment before speaking up, "To save my life." He looked directly at Baekhyun's eyes and continued, "My company, they can be really aggressive when it's come to money. They may have sued me for some false allegations and ruined my life. So I had to agree on this."

Baekhyun just started at him in shock.

Chanyeol's life isn't as smooth as I thought after all..
