Boys Over Baekhyun - CHANBAEK FF ✔

1/10 - Chance

"BAEKHYUN!"

All people inside the practice room turn their heads towards the newcomer's voice except from the person being called. Curious eyes dart towards Baekhyun who is sitting on the corner of the room, bathing in his own sweat.

"Hey, Baekhyun!"

The booming music fills Baekhyun's ears as the beat pounds in time with his adrenaline slowly going down. The singer bobs his head while he imagines dancing their new choreography, planning on new hand gestures he can use for a particular line in the song.

"--called you twice," Chanyeol mutters against his ear, and it's just then when he notices his left earphone is now unplugged. He turns his head in reflex and accidentally meets the taller's eyes inches away from him so he looks away, clearing his throat.

"What did you say?" he asks, eyebrows furrowed. He removes his earphones and puts them inside his pocket.

"I said, Jongin was calling you." Chanyeol gestures at the male standing in front of them. Jongin is also covered with sweat, and the exhaustion is still evident on him due to the heaving of his chest.

"Hey, what's up?" Baekhyun says, smiling brightly at the dancer. He tries to stand up but he fails on first attempt. Abruptly, Chanyeol and Jongin catch him by the arm but the taller immediately gives way when he feels Baekhyun tensing against him.

Jongin pulls Baekhyun by his side so the latter thanks him with a smile.

"Uhm, I gotta go." Chanyeol claps the both of them by the shoulder before he runs away. "Manager-hyung is calling me!"

"All right. See you." Jongin turns to Baekhyun beside him. "Baekhyun, I have to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"Come with me first."

Pulling the shorter with him, Jongin guides the way as they pass through Sehun, Kyungsoo and Junmyeon. Confused, Baekhyun just shrugs as he holds Jongin's hand tighter when their pace quickens.

"Hey. Where are you taking me?"

A chuckle is only Jongin's answer as he still tugs Baekhyun's hand like an excited kid ready to show his mom his aced paper. Baekhyun just allows the dancer, and matches his large steps with their fingers intertwined. They enter the elevator going down the parking lot.

"Jongin," Baekhyun calls.

"Yeah?"

"Is it okay if we go out without telling them, I mean, the others might--" Jongin slams the door in front of his face so he blinks, curiously following with his eyes the other male sitting beside him behind the stirring wheel.

"All right. We're here." Jongin raises his shoulders. He turns to Baekhyun beside him, smiling. "In the car."

"Okay?" Baekhyun slowly says. "Shouldn't you drive or should we just stay here?"

"I actually like the first option but the second is much safer right now," Jongin replies. "Fans won't be able to see us here inside."

"Are you gonna do something," Baekhyun says, "that fans aren't supposed to see?"

Jongin laughs out loud so Baekhyun frowns.

"More like the members."

Baekhyun shoots him a confused look. "Why?"

"Because I don't want them butting in," Jongin answers, his gaze fixed in front of him as he holds the stirring wheel. "I've been trying to get you alone but there's always someone sticking around you."
