hello stranger ; chanbaek

"I love you."

Baekhyun wakes up, rubbing his eyes aggressively. That was one hell of a dream, Baekhyun thinks to himself. He glances at their clock, squinting his eyes a bit to get a better view.

It's still early. So Baekhyun decides to stand up and go out for a walk around the campus to clear up his clouded mind.

He wears his running shoes and wears a jacket since he's sure that it's cold outside at a time like this.

Baekhyun turns around and looks at Jisoo, making sure that he's asleep. He softly smiles at Jisoo before turning around to leave the room.

Baekhyun stuffs his hands inside his jacket pockets, looking up at the sky. He lets out a sigh, his eyes looking at the smoke that his breath formed due to the cold weather.

Baekhyun looks around, looking at some students going out for an early jog. But his thoughts are focused on one thing.

His dream earlier, it was straight up weird and unusual for the red-haired male, he was the male who didn't believe in love but in his dream he was so sure that he was the person saying those three words to the giant stranger.

Chanyeol gently holds Baekhyun's hand, lifting it to kiss it softly. Baekhyun's cheeks turn from pale to dark red in an instant.

"Byun Baekhyun, you are so beautiful." Chanyeol whispers, both hands making it's way on each side of Baekhyun's waist. He pulls him closer to him, staring into the smaller male's eyes.

Baekhyun looks up to stare into Chanyeol's beautiful orbs. He falls deep into them, finding himself move closer to the giant stranger.

"Do you now believe in love? That feeling that you get when you hold that certain person that makes you feel all these types of sensations throughout your body. It's that feeling you get when everything is just perfect and you're firmly holding onto the person you need and nothing else. Nothing else can match this moment. Nothing." Chanyeol says, lifting one hand to gently caress Baekhyun's cheek.

"Byun Baekhyun, I love you."

Chanyeol slowly leans in, tilting his head a bit. Chanyeol kisses Baekhyun's soft ones, savoring this moment. Their lips slowly move against each other, feeling this special moment.

But the red-haired male pulls away, resting his forehead on Chanyeol's chest. "Baekhyun, I love you." He hears the giant stranger mutter those three words again and he feels those sparks again.

Baekhyun then looks up, softly smiling.

"I love you."

Baekhyun smiles as he remembers that dream. That dream that makes him want to go and see that tall giant stranger. To hug him, to talk to him, to hold hands with him, to basically spend time with him.

Baekhyun realizes what has happened to him.

He has fallen in love with the stranger he sees everyday. All his theories about love has been thrown away, replaced with Chanyeol's small theories about love that he shares when they're together.

*

"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, only with what you are expecting to give. Which is everything." Chanyeol says, taking a sip out of his iced coffee. 

Baekhyun pouts his lips, "So you're willing to give everything again even if your heart is broken?" 

"If you really love the second person, you're willing to give everything you didn't give to your first lover. And I already found someone that I'm willing to give everything to." Chanyeol smiles, looking at Baekhyun straight in the eyes.

*

"What is love but acceptance of the other, whatever he is." Chanyeol says, yawning after saying that. Baekhyun plays with Chanyeol's fingers while they walk side by side.

"That's so deep, stranger." Baekhyun says, laughing softly.

"Blame the people who I interview, they have deep perspectives about love." Chanyeol smiles, looking at the stars.

*

"Love can change a person completely, and believe me it changed a lot of people I know." Chanyeol flips the page of the report Baekhyun wrote. Baekhyun wanted Chanyeol to read his report before passing it to his teacher.

"Did it change you?" Baekhyun asks, innocently staring at Chanyeol reading his report.

"Yup, I was that quiet lanky teen that had a crush on one of the most popular girls in our school. I confessed and we went out for a few weeks but then I found her with someone else. Instead of breaking me down, it made me stronger and more curious about love. That's why I became a director." Chanyeol says, turning to look at Baekhyun.

*

Baekhyun shakes his head, looking up at the sky to see the sun peeking from the trees.

Baekhyun chuckles softly, turning around to run back to his dorm.
