Mr.Park | Chanbaek

"Eomma someone's moved down the road" Baekhyun said as he sat down for dinner with her.

"Really? What house?" She asked.

"Number 17" Baekhyun mumbled as he stuffed more rice into his mouth.

"17? I didn't realise that place was for sale" she shrugged, "I'll make some rice cakes and you'll take them up to whomever lives there"

(It's a Korean tradition to give your neighbours rice cakes when they move in)

"Okay. His name is park Chanyeol and he's 19. He goes to Seoul"

"Wow" baekhyun's mum said as she gathered the plates up, "you finished? I need to get making these rice cakes"

"Yes I'm finished" Baekhyun smiled as he handed his mum his empty plate, "thank you so much for dinner"

--

Baekhyun walked up the street holding the plate with cling film over it covering the hot rice cakes.
His heart raced with every step he took, Chanyeol was very attractive and intimidating for some reason. He didn't want to mess things up and seem stupid in front of the taller and was dreading just saying a word to him.
It took him a while to walk to the top but when he finally made it there he nocked on the door and waited for an answer.

"Oh hey Baekhyun" Chanyeol smiled as he saw the small male at the front door.

"Hello Chanyeol Hyung" Baekhyun bowed, "my mum prepared rice cakes for you"

"Thank you so much Baekhyun! Send my regards to your mother. Also let's address each other casually, no need for honorifics"

"Oh okay" Baekhyun nodded.

"Hey why don't you come in?" Chanyeol suggested.

"Uh- okay yeah" Baekhyun nodded as he entered the house. He took his shoes off and looked around the living room. It smelt dusty and empty, it was dimly lit and didn't have much furniture.

"Yeah I know there's not much in here but after all I'm a student" Chanyeol lightly giggled.

"No no it's okay" Baekhyun smiled awkwardly.

"So Baekhyun what do you like doing ?" Chanyeol asked, leaning against his table with a broad smile.

Baekhyun's heart fluttered as he looked at Chanyeol's stunning features. He felt a little flustered being in the taller male's presence and was praying to god his cheeks weren't as red as Chanyeol's hair.

"Oh uh not much" Baekhyun giggled.

"Come on their must be something !" Chanyeol smiled, his voice so deep it made Baekhyun shudder.

"I play piano I guess. I sing and dance with my friends as well. I'm good at school so studying is probably also a hobby. Usually I play football with my friends too. That's it" Baekhyun smiled with a shrug.

"No that's really cool! I play piano too" Chanyeol smiled.

"Ah that's cool!" Baekhyun smiled feeling a little awkward at the small talk they were making.

"We should play together some time" Chanyeol smiled as Baekhyun felt like something hit him hard in the stomach.

"Yes I'd love to play!" Baekhyun said rather outright before saying it again in a more cool and less excited way, "uh I mean yeah I'd love too."

Chanyeol laughed slightly and folded his arms and let out a sigh.

"What do you like Chanyeol?" Baekhyun asked.

"I play a few instruments. Guitar, drums, piano and base guitar. I love composing songs and just music in general. I love singing and rapping really , there's something we have in common. I don't play football but I do play basketball. And that's me really" Chanyeol smiled. Baekhyun smiled becoming more and more interested in this strange man who randomly showed up who was effortlessly handsome and talented.

"You're so talented" Baekhyun laughed.

"You're so talented too Baekhyun, don't underestimate yourself" Chanyeol smiled making Baekhyun's spine shiver.

"Thank you" baekhyun bowed.

"Hey remember no formal shit" Chanyeol laughed as Baekhyun apologised with a laugh, "I'm so sorry for keeping you here is your mum expecting you home?"

"No she isn't I can stay here" Baekhyun shook his head, wanting to stay more.
It was a lie if baekhyun said he wasn't extremely attracted to this man. He was just his type; tall, handsome, talented, kind and funny.

"Do you want a drink?" Chanyeol asked.

"No I'm good" Baekhyun shook his head.

"I hope we can erase this burdensome awkwardness between us" Chanyeol chuckled.

"Yeah me too" Baekhyun smiled.

"Do you want my phone number? So we can text you know? Like you seem really cool and I have no friends around here and we can hang out sometime" Chanyeol suggested making Baekhyun's cheeks flush scarlet red.

"Um yeah" Baekhyun nodded as he got out his phone and gave his number to Chanyeol.

Chanyeol smirked as he noticed the tint of the latter's cheeks. He was used to it though, I mean he's a nice and attractive man he constantly gets hit on and stared at my women and even men. But with Baekhyun he found it kind of cute, how awkward he was and how he lit up when Chanyeol smiled. In fact in chanyeol's perspective he found Baekhyun to be really attractive, he shouldn't because he's still in high school but he couldn't deny the raven haired boy certainly caught his eye.

"I'll text you when I can" Chanyeol smiled, putting his phone in his pocket again.

"So Chanyeol do you have a part time job?" Baekhyun asked, trying to keep the conversation.

"Yeah I'm an author" Chanyeol nodded.

"Really!! What've you written?" Baekhyun asked.

"Only 2 published novels but they didn't get that much success" Chanyeol said.

"I'm sure they're good. Give me a draft sometime I want to read it" Baekhyun said as Chanyeol sighed.

"URGH okay" Chanyeol whined, "I will when I have he time"

"Yay I'm excited now!" Baekhyun smiled.

"Anyway Baekhyun you should head home now it's 9 your mother must be worried sick" Chanyeol said.

"Ah yeah it's better if I go now actually" Baekhyun half smiled as he made his way towards the exit and put his shoes on.

"It was nice to see you Baekhyun, I hope we become good friends" Chanyeol waved as he opened the door for Baekhyun.

"Thanks for inviting me in! Bye Chanyeol" Baekhyun waved as he walked down the pavement and to the gate at the front of the house.
