I Love Someone Else (Daebaek)

More than friends

*A couple weeks later*

Daehyun had been spending a lot of time with Baekhyun after he got home from work or school. They started getting closer to each other.

Baekhyun was really starting to like Daehyun. He gave Baekhyun his space, he didn't try to come onto him like the other boys Baekhyun had been around. Baekhyun also loved that he was able to talk to Daehyun, and Daehyun would listen to him.

Daehyun was very caring of Baekhyun. He always made sure Baekhyun had what he needed while he was away. He took Baekhyun shopping for some more clothes and products he needed.

Baekhyun was surprised Daehyun was being so nice to him. He also felt bad Daehyun was paying for everything. He wanted to return the favor some day.

Baekhyun was watching tv when Daehyun stopped by to see him. Baekhyun saw Daehyun had brought food with him.

Daehyun went over to Baekhyun and set the food in front of him.

Baekhyun opened the bag and pulled out the food and started eating.

Daehyun sat next to Baekhyun and watched him.

'Did you get anything for you?' Baekhyun asked between bites.

Daehyun nodded and pulled out his food. He started eating.

Baekhyun noticed Daehyun was kind of quiet. 'Something wrong?' Baekhyun asked when he finished his food.

'No, just thinking'.

'About what?'

'How we've known each other for awhile now and I still don't know why you ran away from your family'.

Baekhyun looked down at his lap. 'I just had to get away. That's all'.

'We're they really that bad?' Daehyun put his hand on Baekhyun's thigh.

Baekhyun shook his head. 'No, they weren't always bad. They just changed and wouldn't listen to what I wanted. They wanted me to do what they wanted.'

Daehyun thought that sounded like his parents. So he could understand where Baekhyun was coming from.

'I just want to be happy. Be able to be with who I want.'

'That makes sense. I want the same thing.' Daehyun looked at him. 'My parents won't listen to me either. Think they know my life better than I do'.

Baekhyun gave a small smile. At least Daehyun understood his situation. 'You didn't run away though'.

'No, I'm too busy to be around my parents. So I have no reason to. Being here with you right now is me pretty much running away from them. They don't know I come here'.

Baekhyun smiled. 'I appreciate you being here with me. This place is amazing, but it's lonely'.

'You're not a prisoner here. You can leave when I'm not here. Get out and do something. If you want'. Daehyun smiled. 'I think I would enjoy the peace and quiet though. I have to be around people all day'.

Baekhyun gave him a playful glare. 'I'm one of those people you have to be around every day'.

Daehyun smiled. 'You don't count. I choose to be around you.'

'Do you enjoy my company that much?' Baekhyun looked at him carefully.

'Of course I do.' Daehyun looked at him surprised. 'Why wouldn't I?'

Baekhyun sighed. 'No one understands me. They think I'm too crazy'. 

'You're not crazy. Just playful and child like. I like it'.
