[EDITING] ChanBaek: Wildest Dreams ¦ 슬픈 사랑 Series

(49) Caught

"Toast for all our hard works!"

Sigaw ni Kasper habang nakataas ang baso ng beer sa gitna ng lamesa. After all the sweat and blood they poured on their musical, finally it's over.

Kakatapos lang ng first ever musical ni Byun Baekhyun. First and absolutely the last. He doesn't want to dance and sing again.

Nagulat sya ng bigla syang kabigin ni Kasper. Kaya tinulak nya to saka nya sinipa sa binti. Nag-tawanan ang team, saka nya naramdaman ang paghatak ni Chanyeol sakanya sa gilid. Great, it's like two weeks since they started practicing as a team and Chanyeol still hates Kasper to the guts.

He decided not to get drunk tonight since he doesn't want calling Minseok to pick him up at this ungodly hour. Mas mabuti pang i-drive nya nalang ang sarili.

Kyungsoo didn't attend the after party since meron na daw itong prior commitments sa iba. Hindi naman na sya nag react, kahit internally ay sobrang tuwa nya dahil hindi sya mahihirapang makisama sa lalaki ngayong gabi. He swear, every single day na gagawin ng dyos tuwing practice nila, hirap na hirap syang makisama sa lalaki.

Kyungsoo has been so close-mouthed ever since Chanyeol moved out and stopped talking to him. Iba na ang itsura nito kumpara sa confident, egoistic Kyungsoo before. Something clearly changed. Ganon pa rin ito kung mag salita but in a collected way, he chooses his words oh so carefully na mas pipiliin nalang nitong hindi magsalita.

Ayaw nyang isipin na kasalanan ni Chanyeol yon but then again, he knew it has something to do with his boyfriend, and him.

Kyungsoo is looking fragile everyday single day. He had changed in a span of two weeks. Every morning Kyungsoo looked duller, his own vibe leaving his body like it has gone tired of its host. Parang, hindi si Kyungsoo, and something inside Baekhyun tells him that he had seen the same scenario before... in the mirror of his own bathroom.

But what the heck does it matter to him? It's not like he's fond of Do Kyungsoo.

Napatingin sya kay Chanyeol na mukang enjoy na enjoy sa pakikipag kwentuhan sa iba pa nilang kasamahan. Konti nalang at malalasing na to, ayaw nya namang maging o.a at pigilan si Chanyeol, the heck, he hates those kind of girlfriends.

Biglang nag-ring ang phone nya habang pinpanuod si Chanyeol. Nagulat pa tuloy sya.

Tinignan nya ang caller ID at nakita ang pangalan ni Kim Minseok. Siguradong papauwiin na sya ng manager nya. Hindi naman sya naglasing kaya hindi sya papagalitan nito. Nagpaalam sya saglit sa mga kasamahan para sagutin ang tawag. Ang iingay kasi ng mga ito.

"Hyung bakit?"

[I need your freaking help.]

"Ha? With what?"

[Luhan called me. He's drunk]

Agad na napuno ng mga tanong ang utak nya. What? Who called who? Kelan pa naging close ang dalawa. And heck, why does drunk Luhan always pester him?! Seriously ito na ata ang pinakanakakainis na taong nakilala nya kapag lasing bukod sa sarili nya.

[Please Baek, I can't handle this alone...]

"Alright, I'll be there. Sabihin mo kung nasaan ka."

[No, I'll pick you up.]

Nang makapasok ulit sya, nakita nyang hindi na lang basta nakikipag-tawanan sa mga kasama nya si Chanyeol. Naka-akbay pa ito kay Kasper habang tawa ng tawa.

...and just by that, he knew, his boyfriend is really really drunk.

"Yeol," Chanyeol glanced up at him, "Minseok's outside, I need to go."
