It's Never Too Late (EXO One Shot)

Chapter 13:

“Yah! We’re here! Wooh! There’re so many!!” Chanyeol entered the cemetery happily and lively.

“So many what?” Baekhyun asked confusedly to what Chanyeol was talking about.

Chanyeol smiled and told Baekhyun, “Ghosts, there, beside you.”

“Kyaaa!!” Baekhyun moved closer to Chanyeol.

“Hahha. No, I am just kidding. But kidding aside, I cannot see spirits but I can hear them. And it’s not hallucination, I’ve proven that.”Chanyeol laughed and they stopped in front of a grave, of course. “Okay, sorry for that. Let’s go. Hi Mom. Dad. This is Baekhyun.” Chanyeol greeted his parents.

“Hello. I’m Byun Baekhyun.” Baekhyun bowed to Chanyeol’s parents and he suddenly felt like he would cry.

"I was still 10 years old when they left. And my brother, he’s only a year old…” Chanyeol talked about his parents and his life. and Baekhyun listened to him willingly.

"Sorry.” Baekhyun felt a little guilty because he made Chanyeol to tell him his story.

"It’s okay. Because I can hear them and I’m happy because of that. I always close my eyes and there, I feel that they’re still with me.”Chanyeol them closed his eyes.

“I… wish. I can hear them. Or if I cannot, I wish they could hear me. I want to thank them because they brought you to this world. Without you, I am lonely and sad. But I’m lucky because you are here, and I am happy. Thank you Chanyeol.” Baekhyun said. Then Chanyeol opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was… Baekhyun’s smile.

Chanyeol sighed heavily and he bowed his head. He closed his eyes again and touched Baekhyun’s face. Baekhyun was confused at what Chanyeol was doing, “Chanyeol?”

“Don’t move, let me remember and memorize your face.” And Chanyeol explored every inch of Baekhyun’s face, “I don’t want to forget this beautiful face of yours.”

Then Baekhyun held Chanyeol’s hands, “Chanyeol, what are you doing?”

“I will be blind Baekhyun.” Chanyeol smiled and Baekhyun broke. “And I want to memorize your face, so that I won’t forget this. Please let me.”

Baekhyun was surprised at what Chanyeol said, he bowed his head and hugged Chanyeol, “Let me… let me be your eyes. Park Chanyeol.”

Then Chanyeol opened his eyes and asked Baekhyun lovingly, “So you’ll marry me?!”

Baekhyun was startled and his cheeks began to flush red, “W-what are you saying?!”

“Mom! Dad! Did you hear that? He’ll marry me!” Chanyeol said happily. “Because you’ll be my eyes so you should always be by my side and for you to do that, you should marry me. Let’s get married!” Chanyeol said which made Baekhyun’s heart beat faster and Baekhyun’s cheeks flushed redder. “Mom, Dad. It’s my birthday. Happy birthday to me! Please look after us. Thank you because I am happy.”
