Boys Over Baekhyun - CHANBAEK FF ✔

8/10 - First

Chanyeol's foot doesn't even hesitate to step forward, only thinking of getting into him right then and there. How long has he been waiting there, crouched on his knees like a homeless puppy? Is he okay? He must be cold, and lonely, and hungry, enough for him to go out alone to buy food. He must be craving for chocolates, because chocolates make him happy whenever he's sad.

When he reaches Baekhyun, Chanyeol wants to do nothing but hold him close, or maybe hug him tight, because no matter how he hides it, he misses Baekhyun so bad. He misses him very much he wants to just run to him and never let go, say sorry because he's such a jerk for giving him the cold shoulder. He knows it's not Baekhyun's fault that he is being liked by everyone in the group. It's not his fault he's beautiful, inside out. It's not his fault he has a pleasing personality. It's not his fault that Chanyeol feels and thinks he doesn't have the right to cross the borders. He must stay from where he is, and that is away from Baekhyun, away from falling for him more than what he should feel.

And it's not Baekhyun's fault that he is Byun Baekhyun. It's Chanyeol's fault. Because he's not taking the risk, and it would be better off if Baekhyun stays naive.

"Baekhyun," Chanyeol mutters.

Baekhyun cranes his neck up, and a bright smile grazes his lips at the sight of the person in front of him. Standing up and shading himself, he dusts his coat and clings into the other male's arm holding an umbrella. He childishly whines about his aching feet and wet hair.

"Never do that again. I was worried as hell."

Chanyeol steps backwards.

"I'm sorry, Junmyeon-hyung. I just bought chocolates and I didn't know it will rain. Want some?"

"You know I hate sweets. You should've just told me to buy you then. It's dangerous leaving by yourself."

"I'm really sorry, hyung. I really am."

Junmyeon gives him a kind smile. "Fine. Apology accepted. Get in before you catch a cold."

Chanyeol just watches from afar Baekhyun getting inside the car as Junmyeon slams the door close. The car screeches away under the rain, leaving Chanyeol frozen on his spot.

"I got here first," he whispers to himself as he smiles bitterly. "If only you had turned around."

You would've seen me instead of him.

Baekhyun is awake.

He's just pretending to be asleep inside the van for Chanyeol to just leave him alone immediately. Everybody has filed out of the van, and Baekhyun knows that it's Chanyeol who stayed because of his perfume consuming all the air around. Besides, he can also feel his presence a seat away from him, and he can make out his slumped figure as he fumbles with his phone.

Why isn't he leaving yet? It's so uncomfortable sharing oxygen with him.

He hears shifting noises and a frustrated groan. He must be playing games, Baekhyun thinks as he mentally scoffs. Such a kid.

"Ugh, I should use a power up. What do you think?"

Baekhyun in his fake sleep, freezes.

Chanyeol turns to the dozing male away from him as he pauses his game. He takes his time staring at Baekhyun's calm face, watching him peacefully sleeping, before leaning in very close.

Baekhyun's heart just did a somersault.

"You should take this off," Chanyeol mutters as he holds Baekhyun's ears. He untangles the white faceask covering Baekhyun's nose and mouth, discarding it away. "You won't breathe properly if you keep this on you."
