Two weeks has passed and Chanyeol never called. Baekhyun tried contacting him but to no avail. Chanyeol wouldn't respond. He didn't even get the urge to apologize nor explain himself as to why he didn't come. Nothing at all.

All night long, Baekhyun cried and sulked inside his room. Jongin couldn't coerce him out, so he just let his best friend have the time for himself.

Baekhyun doesn't know what to do anymore. He is fucking angry and painfully hurt. His heart is broken. He is left clueless because he can no longer contact Chanyeol. He needs explanations and answers to his questions, but how is he going to ask him if he can't reach him anymore?

If Baekhyun would just be honest with himself, he would admit he misses Chanyeol so much. He wants to hear his deep voice calling his name. He wants to talk to him, ask him if everything is okay. He wants to tell him he's really sad right now that he's not here with him. He wants to tell him how painful it is that he made him wait for nothing.

But still, he is fucking angry with Chanyeol that he wants to yell and curse at him. He wants to make him realize he doesn't deserve to be liked because he might be just leading him on.

A phone ring pulls Baekhyun out of his reverie. He hastily gets up and grabs his phone sitting on the nightstand.

Calling... Chanyeol

+82 00 0000 0000

Baekhyun's eyes widen as he senses his heartbeat speeding up.

It's strange, because Chanyeol's number appears all zeros, and yet it is possible that he can call him. How is that even working? Baekhyun feels goose bumps creeping to his skin, but he ignores it. Instead, he picks up the phone and presses it against his ear.

He takes a deep breath, anger coiling up in his chest once again.

[Baekhyun.]

Chanyeol's voice is cold and stiff.

Baekhyun doesn't know if the fast beating inside his chest is caused by Chanyeol coming back right now, or because of the anger he is feeling towards him. Otherwise, he just keeps his voice to himself, not wanting to make a noise.

[Baekhyun, I know you can hear me. We need to talk.]

"So you're still alive," Baekhyun mutters. "You still have the fucking audacity to call after you ditched me on my fucking birthday."

[I didn't ditch you. In fact, I waited for you for five hours at Demitasse. And what? You didn't even show up.]

Baekhyun chuckles bitterly, can't believe what he is hearing. "What?"

[I tried calling you for three straight days, Baekhyun. And you didn't even pick up. What-- what the hell was your problem!?]

"I don't have a problem. If someone were to have it, then that would be you. You know why?" Baekhyun is just restraining himself. He is now burning in rage."Because you're a liar. I asked the baristas at the coffee shop. You're not their costumer, they don't even know you! And listen, you're the one who made me wait for five fucking hours!"
