      The rest of the week consisted of Baekhyun visiting the garden 4 times daily. Baekhyuns anxiety was sky rocking through the roof as he made sure to take notes of everything, writing down if a plant had grown a new leaf or anything. He took pictures of the plants from every angle imaginable.
     He had gone to the store and bought a triboard and had painted it a dark green with silver lining all around. He typed up his research paper with all the information that had collected while Chanyeol helped doing stuff like cutting out pictures and glueing them to the board.
    Baekhyun had even dug up two of the plants and put them in small pots, so that on the day of the presentation he could demonstrate an example of their work. Baekhyun knew this project was going to be a success.
     However, the dreading feeling was filling his stomach, as each day came by and become closer to the day he promised to leave: next Tuesday, the day after the project was due. Baekhyun didn't know what to do. He seemed sure about leaving, thinking that he could possibly put aside his feelings for Chanyeol on hold while he studied. However, slowly day by day Baekhyun started realizing the all too obvious fact that he definitely in love Chanyeol. He didn't think he could leave Chanyeol, especially when Chanyeol was loving him back even more.
    Baekhyun keep reminding himself it was his mothers dream, it was his own dream! This is what he wanted to do with his life. The only problem was Baekhyun felt like absolute shit every time he thought about what he was doing to Chanyeol. He made him feel worse than trash, betraying his one and only love this way. It didn't help either that they were making love almost everyday either. Baekhyun absolutely loved the feeling of Chanyeol being inside of him, he absolutely fucking adored watching Chanyeol be so innocent under his control. It was the biggest turn on for Baekhyun, watching the supposed "dominate" succumb under him, letting him take control while he tilted his head back and moaned. As he bit his lip, watching every movement Baekhyun made and learning from them. It only drilled the feeling of being with Chanyeol even deeper into him , literally.
      Almost as if somehow they had sensed that Baekhyun didn't want to leave, he was given a call: a call by someone he had thought had disappeared from his life. He received the call while Chanyeol was at work, so he wasn't there to witness the enlargement of Baekhyuns eyes as he answered the phone to the dreadful voice.
     " You seem like you've settled down " said the voice on the other side of the phone. Baekhyuns saliva was stuck in his throat as he slowly gulped, in absolute shock as to the voice that was talking to him.
     " What do you want ?" Asked Baekhyun, glaring at the wall. Chills ran down Baekhyuns spine as he remembered the horrific events that came with that voice. He had done everything he could possible to get away from him. Yet here he was, calling him 3 days before he's destined day to leave.
The voice on the phone laughed as it spoke up, " You haven't forgotten the contract you signed have you ?" Reminded the voice. Baekhyuns eyes darkened, knowing far too well exactly what he was talking about. How could he forgot, when he literally went to sleep and woke up think about it.
Baekhyun stayed silent as he listened to his ex-lover speak through the phone yet again.
" Baekhyun, I want you to go to America and do what your cousin told you to do. That was a part of the contract, don't you remember ?"
Baekhyun was ready to lash out at the speaker at his comment.
     " And I'm guessing that fucking me was part of the contract as well, wasn't it ?" Baekhyun backlashed with an aggressive tone, tears on the edge of his waterline. He had scared Lady, who sat a few inches away from him with his sudden outburst.
    " Baekhyun, im willing to make up with you as long as you comeback to me. I promise ill love you back this time"
      Baekhyun, pulling up the most serious voice  he could, with his eyelids halfway closed on his eyes, spoke back.
    "Fuck your piece of shit called love Jongin, if you ever fucking call me-"
   " I will tell him everything" said Jongin across the phone line, with an even more serious tone. Baekhyuns eyes widened. The tears were falling from his cheeks to the ground at this point, the awful memories surging back into his head.
    " That little boy you spend all your time with? I'll tell him everything. I have videos" threatened Jongin, scaring the shit out of Baekhyun.
    "You recorded us?!" Baekhyun yelled through the phone. He was absolutely baffled. He knew he was talking to possibly one of the most worthless humans to live on earth, but he didn't expect him to threaten him, and he certainly didn't expect the thing he would be threatening with.
     Jongin laughed, an awful laugh that made Baekhyun cry even more.
      " I want you in America on Tuesday" said the voice, hanging up and causing the phone to go silent. Baekhyun fell to the ground, still in pain with the memories rushing through his head. Baekhyuns heart hurt, he felt like he could pass out at any moment from how much he was crying.
     He remembered Chanyeol, he remembered every single thing they had done together. It was absolutely depressing thinking about what was going to come, and how it was coming about. The thought of everything that was happening to him made him scream while sobbing away the pain he was remembering. Baekhyun felt like an absolute piece of shit. His past had come back to haunt him, and now he was paying the price. He had thought Chanyeol could be a test or a gift, but in reality, Chanyeol had become another scar that would tear his life apart along with the others. With that, Baekhyun passed out.
.   .    .    .    .
     Monday arrived faster than Baekhyun could expect, creating immense anxiety in him yet again. Chanyeol couldn't help but laugh at how nervous Baekhyun looked as they woke up next to each other, Baekhyun almost shaking.
     Chanyeol carried the tri-board to school while and Baekhyun followed with the pot of flowers, walking a little behind Chanyeol on the sidewalk. Chanyeol glanced over, watching the smaller who had a lonesome expression on his face. Chanyeol was confused, he was knocking over tables and doors earlier from his anxiety, yet now he looked as if his dog had died or something.
   " Whats wrong?" Questioned Chanyeol, worried for his Baekhyun. Chanyeol hated seeing him depressed, he really wished Baekhyun would wake up from it, because all it did was drag Chanyeol into a depressed state aswell.
     Baekhyun shook his head, looking down ,
" Nothing's wrong" he said with an all too obvious tone which made Chanyeol roll his eyes. Baekhyun tried to start walking again, however Chanyeol put down the tri-board and took Baekhyuns face in his hands, planting a kiss on his lips. Almost naturally, Baekhyuns eyes exclaimed surprise as he realized they were kissing in public, right outside of their school. However, Chanyeol couldn't give a shit, knowing far too well that he would rather everyone know about their relationship then hide it.
     Chanyeol parted their kiss, however continued to embrace Baekhyun.
    " I hate seeing you like this Baekhyun. Please don't be sad" he begged him, looking deep into his eyes, looking for some type of response.
Baekhyun bit his lips , the tears on the verge of falling. He put his own hand over the Chanyeols hand that rested on his check, rubbing his cheek into it then kissing it. Oh how he would miss this. He knew that Chanyeol was the best thing that had happened to him, and he didn't want to ever loose him, but he had to handle his past, before he could look to him. He knew that well, at the very least.
" I'm fine " said Baekhyun, pulling up the only smile he could manage.
The presentation had gone well. Baekhyun spoke like a professional, every single word rehearsed, knowing all parts of the project. He demonstrated from their triboard (which Chanyeol held), and explained their 5 week progress through pictures. Not only that, he had a whole side of the triboard to explain how to build the garden itself, which surprised the teacher. The teacher had credited Baekhyun, applauding him for bringing that up and even providing the plant for the class to see.
What more to expect from the class wiz? Chanyeol couldn't help smiling while watching him. He adored watching Baekhyun care for his studies. Chanyeol assumed that his dream career must be somewhere along those lines.
Walking home had been refreshing, the teacher insisted on keeping the project so Chanyeol and Baekhyun walked home empty handed. However, Chanyeol only dropped off Baekhyun at the apartment complex as he excused himself to go to his "work", which in reality was his idol training, but he couldn't tell Baekhyun that.
Chanyeols instagram following had grown, especially once fans had realized he was an idol. He had no idea how they found out, but Chanyeol thought that he might have to start paying attention to what he wore. He was never the fashionista, to be honest he didnt even know how he had a following in the first place. All he ever did was post pictures of only 1/7th of his face and pictures of Seoul.
His director told him that at the minute, his chances of debuting were high, and that he could see that in 2-3 years he will probably be debuting. However, he did not know yet if he would be in a group or be a soloist. Chanyeol constantly reminded him, however, that he wanted to compose his own music. He even showed him some pieces he had produced himself, but the producer would push them away. That didn't stop Chanyeol tho.
Chanyeol realized to soon that he sucked at dancing. He had no prior experience to dancing, and all the other trainees seemed to have it naturally in them. Chanyeol would only leave the company frustrated and completely worn out.
Once he graduated he was going to have to move into the dorms the company provided and train rigorously if he wanted to debut anytime soon. It worried him, because that meant he would see Baekhyun less, but he felt that if Baekhyun love him, he would encourage him to follow his dreams, just like his mother.
Chanyeol walked home, it was a bit dark but he was thinking about Baekhyun the whole way home. He kicked a rock, think about his blessings he had been given. He smiled at the thought. He had been given a family, a highly potential job that was in his dream career, and the most precious lover. Everything felt right.
He let the cold night air hit his face as he extended his arms out for a seconds, smiling to the moon. As he arrived home and opened the door, the lights were off. He took his shoes off at the door and walked towards his bedroom where Baekhyun had already fallen asleep. It was only 8:27, but Chanyeol supposed he must have been sleepy. Chanyeol smiled and headed to the shower and brush his teeth, which took him only 10 minutes and was finally ready to go to sleep.
He embraced Baekhyun as he took in the scent of his most cherished. The smaller almost immediately entangled himself into Chanyeols body in response. Nothing could ever beat this feeling, Chanyeol thought to himself. Chanyeol was so happy.
