hello stranger ; chanbaek

Chanyeol insists that he brings Baekhyun home since the commute will take some time. At first Baekhyun denied but the words of Chanyeol and his determination made him give up and mutter a yes.

"I'll bring you home Baek, trust me. If you get hurt out there I'll blame myself for it, and look it's late."

The silence in the car is awkward and oddly it doesn't make Baekhyun uncomfortable. "Will you tell me your name yet? Why won't you tell me your name, stranger?" Baekhyun asks while playing with the sleeves of his sweater.

Chanyeol sighs, "I'll tell you in the right time, I promise. And besides, I like how you call me stranger." Chanyeol cracks a smile while driving under the street lights.

Baekhyun hugs the puppy stuffed toy, smiling softly. "Stranger, I'm hungry." Baekhyun laughs a bit, "It's weird, I ate a sandwich earlier but I'm hungry." Baekhyun says, looking at Chanyeol.

Chanyeol smiles a bit more, "A sandwich isn't enough for dinner, you need to have a big stomach like me!" Chanyeol jokes, glad to hear Baekhyun's soft laugh.

"Let's eat together, I want burgers." Baekhyun says, "Choose the best restaurant, stranger!"

Chanyeol just orders through the drive-thru since he finds eating at the restaurant is too bothering for a time like this and because, having Baekhyun to himself in a small space makes him happy enough.

Chanyeol parks in a vacant spot, grabbing three burgers out since the brunette ordered two since he's that hungry. That's what Baekhyun said.

Baekhyun smiles widely, he puts the puppy stuffed toy at the back of the car and grabs his burgers, unwrapping one burger.

He immediately takes a bite out of his burger, smiling in satisfaction. "This is way better than a sandwich." Baekhyun says before taking another bite.

Chanyeol just smiles a bit, taking a bite out of his burger.

Baekhyun finishes his burger right away, grabbing his second burger. "You're already done, Baek?" Chanyeol asks, a little bit surprised.

Baekhyun laughs, his eyes turning into those crescent shaped eyes. "I told you, stranger! I'm hungry!" Baekhyun says, already tucking into his second burger.

"Yah, take your time. Nobody's rushing you." Chanyeol says, grabbing a tissue from the paper bag.

He then holds Baekhyun's chin and makes him face him, lifting the tissue to wipe the sides of Baekhyun's lips. "Eat slowly, look you're becoming messy." Chanyeol scolds, but he ends up smiling at Baekhyun.

Baekhyun stares at Chanyeol, a deep blush creeping onto his cheeks. His heart then does the rapid beating again and it makes Baekhyun feel somehow good.

Chanyeol then looks up at Baekhyun and presses Baekhyun's nose before returning to eat his burger.

Baekhyun then stays still, Chanyeol's touch still lingering. He then shakes his head, "Don't fall, love doesn't exist." He quietly mutters to himself.

"Did you say anything?" Chanyeol asks the brunette but Baekhyun just shakes his head. "Okay then, finish that and then you can go catch some shut eye." Chanyeol smiles at Baekhyun making Baekhyun blush even more.

Baekhyun returns to his burger and eats it, trying to shake the thoughts of Chanyeol away.

Baekhyun's soft snores is music to Chanyeol's ears. It's his first time to ever hear this and it's beautiful for Chanyeol. They actually arrived at the dorm buildings earlier but Chanyeol decided to stay a little bit since he doesn't want to disturb Baekhyun's slumber. 

Chanyeol grabs the stuffed toy from the back and gently puts it in Baekhyun's arms.

Chanyeol gets out of the car and walks towards the passenger's seat. He unlocks the door and gently slides a hand under Baekhyun's back and one under Baekhyun's legs.

He carries Baekhyun and he is quite shocked at how light he is.

Chanyeol kicks the car door and locks the car, he carries Baekhyun into the dorm building.

Since Chanyeol doesn't really know where Baekhyun stays at, he heads towards the paper on the announcement board.

He searches for Baekhyun's name on the list and finally he found it.

"Okay. Room 614, fifth floor." Chanyeol chants to himself.

*

Chanyeol twists the doorknob of Room 614 and to his surprise it's unlocked. It's dark so Chanyeol's hand searches for the light switch, struggling a bit since Baekhyun is in his arms.

Before he could even find the light switch, the lights turn on revealing Jisoo with his arms crossed. 

"Who are you? And why do you have hyung in your arms?" Jisoo interrogates, raising a brow at Chanyeol.

Chanyeol laughs a bit, "I'm Baekhyun's friend. He fell asleep earlier in the car after playing and eating. I just brought him here." Chanyeol says, walking towards the bed that he assumes Baekhyun owns.

He lays him down on the bed and gets the stuffed toy, he sets it beside Baekhyun. Chanyeol looks at how Baekhyun turns on the bed, hugging the toy, snoring once again.

Chanyeol turns around and looks at Jisoo. "I'll get going, take care of him and feed him a lot of food!" Chanyeol waves goodbye at Jisoo before leaving.

Jisoo nods, "Yeah, leave. Bye!" Jisoo says, pushing Chanyeol out of their dorm. He quickly closes the door and locks it.

He then walks his way towards Baekhyun's bed and looks at him, weirded out at how Baekhyun is smiling widely in his sleep.

Jisoo sighs, grabbing the blanket and putting it over Baekhyun. "Good night, hyung."
