Sometimes, Never Always

PART I

"One strawberry smoothie for... Baekhyun" the person at the counter yelled as the customer seemed nowhere to be found. Yay! Surprise, surprise. I fucking hate my job. She sighed as she gave up looking for the customer when a petite young man came up and grabbed the smoothie. "I'm so sorry! I-I was... Oh whatever!"

He looked so anxious and in a rush but the girl who served him was quick enough to slip in a little note on his serviette.

...

Baekhyun slumped on his car whilst throwing his books and laptop bag on the passengers seat as he sipped from the drink. Sure, it was winter but it's never too cold for a smoothie.

He was going to throw the cup away when he noticed writings on the serviette that was wrapped around the cup. He unraveled it and found a tiny message.

Taeyeon
Call me xoxo 0412345678

Baekhyun laughed a little. She was cute, he smirked, but I'll think about it.

...

"Are you okay?" Kyungsoo eyed his friend while Baekhyun typed furiously on his keyboard. "Yeah, why?" He asked, turning his head quickly to take a look at Kyungsoo and back on the screen of his laptop again. He looked worried. "Hey. The chick from the coffee shop gave me her number. Should I call her?" Baekhyun asked to shift Kyungsoo's attention from him.

"Why not? But hey, are you still taking those iron supplements regularly?" Kyungsoo finally took his eyes off Baekhyun's face but the worry never went away. "Yeah. Why?". "Nothing really. You just look a little pale" Kyungsoo replied while standing up and picking up the tiny pill container on Baekhyun's table.

It was empty.

He picked up his phone and dialled a number. "Hey. Yes it's me. He ran out of... Yeah. Yeah, I'll pick it up later.

...

Baekhyun panted as he settled on a bench on a secluded park he could claim as his own. Next to no one ever visited this park, which is perfect for Baekhyun when he is out for a run or devising new ideas for his story.

But suddenly, his head started spinning and his throat became dry and his chest tightened as if there was a vice restricting his lungs.

He fell down of the bench, clenching his chest as if it would help and his eyesight became muddled. Suddenly, Kyungsoo appeared before his eyes, holding a bottle of water and a tiny container of pills as he forcibly fed it to Baekhyun, who was staring beyond his shoulder and reaching out for the guy who was standing and crying before him.

"Cha-Chanyeol."

Everything went dark.
