hello stranger ; chanbaek

t e n

Jisoo finds it a bit strange. He finds it a bit strange that Baekhyun woke up with a wide smile on his face, skipping happily towards the bathroom. It's strange since Baekhyun always hits Jisoo whenever the latter wakes up. Jisoo also finds it strange at how he would always smile and cuddle with his puppy toy even when he's not asleep.

Jisoo had the urge to ask his hyung why he became like this all of a sudden. Jisoo tries to gather as much evidence as he could but since he was gathering so much useless information and evidence, something clicked in his head.

What if the answer was right in front of him? What if the answer was something he clearly saw a few days ago yet forgot? What if the answer was really a few nights ago? 

"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."

And that's where everything started to click together.

Jisoo keeps a decent distance from Baekhyun, he glances at his wrist watch and it is an hour past lunch time and this is usually the time where they are given around two hours to wander about. And this is also the time where Baekhyun disappears and magically appears after dinner time.

Jisoo decides to call his hyung just to make sure that he is really following Baekhyun. He swiftly grabs his phone from his pocket and quickly dials Baekhyun's number.

He sees the figure grab something from his pocket, positioning it against his ear.

"Hello?" He hears Baekhyun's voice and it genuinely makes him smile. He shakes his head, reminding himself that this is a serious matter.

"Hyung! Where are you right now?" Jisoo asks, his voice a little lowered.

He sees Baekhyun flinch a bit, "I'm at the dorm building? Why?" Dorm building my ass.

Jisoo narrows his eyes at Baekhyun, letting out a sigh. "Okay then, just making sure that you're safe." Jisoo says, ending the call.

Jisoo stuffs his phone back into his pocket, quietly following his hyung when Baekhyun takes a few steps out of the campus. He really doesn't know why he's doing this but he finds it important to know why Baekhyun just disappears without notifying him.

Jisoo just sighs once again, following Baekhyun quietly.

Jisoo scratches his head when he sees the unfamiliar surroundings around him. He ended up at a music shop. He knows that Baekhyun likes music but he doesn't know why he ended up at one just by following the brunette. 

Jisoo musters up the courage to enter the shop. After a few minutes, he finds himself pushing the door open, revealing shelfs of CD's and headphone products. Jisoo wanders around a bit, grabbing a face mask to protect his identity. 

His eyes continue to wander around but what he sees next shocks him.

He sees his hyung hugging a tall familiar man. Just by the hair he can already tell that it's Baekhyun, the person who talked crap about love and the person who despises it the most. And that Byun Baekhyun is hugging another man, looking like Baekhyun loves this tall man so much.

It shatters Jisoo's heart to bits, he quickly turns away and walks out of the music shop.

He walks back to the dorm, tears in his eyes.

He was already sad enough to know that he wasn't the reason of Baekhyun's happiness, he wanted to turn Baekhyun's world around and he wanted to change his hyung's opinion on love.

He wanted to be that guy. 

But seeing him with another man, makes him even sadder. He secretly loved his hyung for the past four years in college, suffering through Baekhyun's hurtful words about love. He even begged the dorm headmaster to switch rooms with Baekhyun just so that he could witness his beautiful face every single day.

It took him four years to grab his hyung's attention but never succeeded. But it seems like he just met this guy a few months ago and it seems like Baekhyun's head over heels for the tall guy.

Jisoo sits down on the bus station, lifelessly staring at the road. He wipes his eyes, furrowing his eyebrows.

It starts now.
