Hello, Mr. Sanity | Chanbaek

Chpater 14

My fingers ran through my hair, ruffling up the layers as I puffed air from my lungs. I stared up at the ceiling, eyes slowly closing in thought.

Today is when I'm going to overcome my fears, today I am going to kiss Baekhyun. Everything will be left off of my chest when I do, all my feelings let out, everything. And then maybe I'll get my happy ending. Maybe then everything will go as planned.

Sometimes monsters can have happy endings, right? What about all of those Disney movies? They had happy endings. I want some too then.

But I have to wait.

I puffed more air out as I sighed, rolling over onto my stomach. When was Baekhyun going to get here? He's usually here by this time.

My eyes fluttered open as I felt a hand on my head, caressing my hair softly. I hummed and looked towards the hand, traveling to the arm to see who it was.

"Baekhyun.." I whispered, looking to the doctor who only smiled and continued to pet my head.

"You fell asleep, Chanyeol, have you not been getting enough."

I shook my head.

"Why not? You should get sleep."

"My thoughts have been keeping me awake."

"What kind of thoughts. You should be able to sooth your mind."

"My thoughts of you. They keep me up all night. They tell me about how much I like you." I murmured, looking down onto the bed.

"I'm glad you like me, as your doctor-"

"No."

"Excuse me?"

"I don't like you as a doctor, Baekhyun." I sighed and brought my eyes back towards him, taking in his surprised form.

"Then as your friend-"

"No. Not like that either."

"Then what are you talking about?" Baekhyun asked, his hand stopped petting me as he tilted his head.

"I like you as you, Baekhyun. Not as a friend, not as Dr. Byun. I like you for you." I hummed, beginning to sit up on the bed, sitting next to Baekhyun.

"I don't understand, Chanyeol. Please explain how you don't like me as a friend."

I took in a deep breath and nodded.

In that moment, I didn't think about anything or what my actions could do. I just did it. It wasn't a second thought thing, I just went for a chance.

My heart beat quickly as I reached my hands out, cupping Baekhyun's smooth face. My breath got caught in my throat as I tried to relearn how to breathe. This was overwhelming.

I gulped and began to lower myself, my eyes closer slowly. Should I pucker my lips? Should I just press them against his? How do I do this?

I shook my head and clenched my eyes tightly shut, not wanting to see Baekhyun's scared reaction for me coming closer.

Finally, I swallowed down the lump in my throat once more before placing my lips to Baekhyun's.
