Boys Over Baekhyun - CHANBAEK FF ✔

Prologue

5 years ago.

Raw and natural talent along with a determined heart is what a nineteen-year old Byun Baekhyun took with him when he first got into Seoul and entered SM Entertainent as a trainee. He is one of those young boys with a spirit full of dreams, hoping that someday, he's going to debut soon. That someday, people will love to hear his music, people will love to see him perform and show the world what his real purpose in life is--- to become a successful KPOP Artist in the most well-known KPOP group marked in history.

"Is there something funny about the clouds?"

"Why?"

"You're smiling at them."

Baekhyun turns to look at his friend beside him who's having the moment inspecting the skies, his eyebrows scrunched.

"Nothing. I just remembered something."

"Yeah? What is it?"

"The day when I first came here," Baekhyun says, and he's putting his hands underneath his head as he lies comfortably on the grass. "Six months ago."

"Oh, I remember that time. You looked so shy back then but you're completely different now that I've got to know you better. You're actually amazing."

"But you thought I was a lost kid at the mall."

"Yeah! And you thought I was CEO Lee's grandson. Ha-ha."

Baekhyun nods furiously as he laughs. "Yeah. Because you gave me that food stub and I ate lunch for free and I was like, wow, this guy must be Lee Sooman's grandson."

"And that's why we become--"

"Instant best friends," they both together say. Baekhyun clutches his stomach as he breaks into a fit of hearty laughter.

"But seriously, you didn't realize my surname was Park. It was right in front of your face."

"Right. My bad."

"Hey, Baek! That one looks like Do Kyungsoo," Chanyeol yells as he grins, pointing at a mass of accumulating cottony clouds above the blue skies. "You know, the guy with the super big eyes?"

Baekhyun giggles. "Yeah. I remember him during our first evaluation test. He was the guy with a really beautiful voice."

"Your voice is the most beutiful to me, though.."

"Come again?"

The taller boy shakes his head as he smiles, brushing the topic away. "Nothing." He looks at the time on his watch. "Hey, breaktime's over. We still have a dance class with Mr. Shim."

"But I hate dance classes," Baekhyun pouts as he puts his arms over his chest.

"Me, too," Chanyeol replies back as he frowns a little. "Can we just stay here for a while under this tree?"

"Good idea. Let's just sleep."

Closing his eyes, he places his hands on top of his abdomen as he relishes the fresh air kissing his skin. He hums in contentment as he imagines he's on the bed in the middle of this huge garden.

"Baekhyun."

Something blocks the sunlight streaking down his face so he decides to open his eyelids. He sees his best friend peering down at him and watching him with a fond smile forming on his mouth.

Baekhyun blinks.

"Hmm?"

"I think I..."

"You think you?"

Chanyeol looks away, blushing a little.

"I love you."

Like he heard nothing, Baekhyun just closes his eyes again as he smiles. He takes in the calming atmosphere as he drifts off to a light sleep.

"Can I....can I kiss you?"

He doesn't speak in reply.

Chanyeol then leans down to his face and presses a gentle kiss on the tiny corner of his mouth.

Smack.

Their lips don't even brush but it has Chanyeol's heart skipping a beat-- a strange, wonderful sensation he feels that prodded him to do that action.

When Baekhyun flutters his eyes open several minutes later, he finds the garden empty. He gets up confused, propping himself up with his elbows as he wanders his eyes around the peaceful place.

Chanyeol isn't there anymore.

"I thought we're gonna stay here for a while..."

Baekhyun just sighs, shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly, before lying down again on the grass as he dreams about the future.

Chanyeol has his face buried on his crouched knees as he hides behind the tree, cursing himself in utter embarrassment.
