I'm sorry for this and enjoy reading!)

It's Saturday morning and Baekhyun is sad.

He sighs deeply, hopeful eyes scanning the backyard for a certain tall male. For about two hours, he has been waiting by the small window of the room in hopes to catch a single glimpse of his boyfriend, Chanyeol, their handsome neighbor he hasn't met in person before. He has never spoken to him, let alone gotten near the boy to at least touch his hand or hear his voice. The only way they can talk to each other is through the window of Kyungsoo's room by using a sketchpad and a marker as their means of communication.

Not that Baekhyun is born deaf, nor Chanyeol is, it's just that Kyungsoo, Baekhyun's not-so-real stern grandmother ahjumma whom he is taking care of until now, is not in favor of their romantic relationship. The old woman would always lock the window, door, and gate so that Baekhyun couldn't go outside to meet his passionate lover. She's the wrecker, the Obstructor, the evil stepmother, the antagonist, the Maleficent, the bad villain, in the hero's and heroine's blossoming love towards each other. She is doing all possible ways under the sun to stop Chanyeol in professing his love for Kyungsoo's nanny slash grandson.

But Chanyeol is not determined to give up, because he promised Baekhyun forever. He truly loves Baekhyun so much, and Baekhyun loves him, too. Against all odds, they will fight for their undying feelings no matter what.

So that is why Baekhyun is here by the window, patiently waiting for his boyfriend to show up for their first monthsary together. Biting on his lower lip, he presses a palm against the foggy window as he waits. Kyungsoo isn't home yet, she is with her triplet sisters Jongdae and Junmyeon, having a coffee date on Starbucks, and Baekhyun is quite thankful for that although the bad ahjumma left him locked inside the house alone after shoving the key inside her panties.

"Where are you, Chanyeol.." Baekhyun mutters gloomily, clutching his sketchpad against his chest. "Did you forget it's 27 today.."

Baekhyun can still recall the day they started to date. Chanyeol serenaded him with his guitar under the moonlight, singing a song Baekhyun had no idea what it was. But, even if he couldn't hear what Chanyeol sang that time, Baekhyun was positive it was a love song for him, and the look in Chanyeol's beautiful eyes staring back at him that night, made Baekhyun to say yes, falling in love with him, doubtless.

Will you be mine tonight until forever, Baekhyun?

Yes, Chanyeol. I am now yours.

With a wide smile on his face, Baekhyun had hugged his sketchpad that night during sleep, until Kyungsoo grabbed it tomorrow morning, only to burn it on the fireplace. Baekhyun had to buy a new one because of that.

Sighing for the umpteenth time and thinking about giving up already, Baekhyun startles with the sound of a rock being thrown at the window. He turns his head, looking down at the backyard to spot the person he's been waiting for.

And then right then and there, he sees Chanyeol.

Heart beating fast with a blush on the apples of his cheeks, Baekhyun brightly smiles like his face would crack into two as he waves at his lover. Chanyeol waves back at him, also smiling widely while he scratches the back of his neck shyly. He is standing on the ground, neck craning up to meet Baekhyun's gaze as he holds a big notebook:
