Star crossed | Chanbaek - Baekyeol |

The Contract

Chanyeol was knocked out into a coma, embracing Baekhyun right after his confession and leaving Baekhyun alone in his flustered state. Baekhyun could feel Chanyeols soft breath on his neck. He tried to wake up the giant by soft pushing on him, but he got no response. He was left with silence and the soft intakes of air Chanyeol was doing under him,
Baekhyun was blushing badly, and looking down at Chanyeols appearance. He calmed down as he focused on the areas that Chanyeol had changed in. Number one would be Chanyeols hair. Not once would he have imagined that Chanyeol would have dyed, styled and pushed back his hair. His Chanyeol had always had the black soft messy hair style. He would wear hoodies all the time and act like a little bad boy, and would sleep all day like a lazy cat. This Chanyeol, however, was a global praised composer celebrity, who dressed clean cut, had a car worth more than Baekhyuns college career, and looked like the kind of guy who would buy the whole club drinks, not to pick up chicks, but to make everyone jealous they weren't him.
As Baekhyun physically detached himself from the locking hold of Chanyeols arms, the image was literally being painted in front of him. Chanyeol looked like a damn rich fuck boy and it was turning him on, he knew that well. Baekhyun was used to Chanyeol being so innocent and submissive, but what was he supposed to do when he returned to realize Chanyeol was oozing with dominance? Not that he was complaining, if anything that's what he had wanted all along. But at what cost? At the expense of Chanyeol telling him he fucked this many people, when and where? Baekhyun didn't want to hear that, it made him feel worthless. It made him feel like all the times they had done it were just casual fucks, it felt so fucking humiliating.
Baekhyun placed a blanket over Chanyeol and settled him into a nice sleeping position on the couch. He looked down at his ex-lover and wondered if he had moved on. Based on earlier mention of a date, Baekhyun felt like that possibility might not be to far away from reality. Baekhyun sighed and turned around to walk to his room.
He shut the door and slowly dragged himself to the floor against the door. He covered his mouth and felt the tears roll down his cheeks. He let his emotions take their course, letting all the pent up feelings drain out, squeezing the tears out of his eyes every time he closed his eyes.
Baekhyun was tired, tired of all that had happened in his life. He was in desperate need of someone, he was in need of love. He didn't know how much longer he could go on like this, suffering with his feelings alone.

Chanyeol woke from the smell of food, however as soon as he regained consciousness he felt a sharp piercing pain in his head and body, and found it difficult to move.
"Fucking shit" he murmured as he raised his palms and rubbed his eyes. He thanked himself for the amazing idea of installing low light lights, as he was able to see again in a mere seconds. He slowly sat up, his muscles aching and his throat burning from thirst. He stumbled over to the kitchen, where he found his angel startled at his appearance. Chanyeol could make out the eggs and toast he was cooking, and the room smelled delicately of ginger. It's was so refreshing, it made Chanyeol feel good and taken care of. God he would make such a great marriage partner.
" Good morning" said Baekhyun in a weary tone. He was watching Chanyeol closely, although Chanyeol knew it wasn't because he was admiring him, but because he was scared he would yell at him or worse. Chanyeol sat down on a stool by the island and rested his face on his elbow propped up arm.
" Eggs and toast huh?" Hummed Chanyeol as he saw the pan sizzling. Boy does it bring back memories. Chanyeol hissed as the piercing pain in his head continued. Baekhyun noticed immediately, and grabbed the kettle and poured hot water into a mug with a herb essence pouch. He stirred it gently, adding a bit of sugar and passing it towards Chanyeol.
" This should help with the hangover" commented Baekhyun, smiling. Chanyeol gazed into the smallers eyes, feeling both hate and longing, wanting to kiss yet yell at the smaller. Chanyeol looked down into the tea and took a sip out of it.
Chanyeol chuckled," Ginger tea?I thought you were a coffee person" his eyes returned to Baekhyuns.
Baekhyuns mouth went into a straight line,
"Well coffee isn't going to cure your hangover. Besides,I never said I didn't like tea"
  Chanyeol gaped at Baekhyun and almost burst out laughing watching his emotions. A simple comment could get him flustered very easily, and Chanyeol was enjoying it. He loved watching him, and his reactions.
    " We have to go to the studio today and pick our songs." Commented Chanyeol, as Baekhyun handed him a plate with eggs and toast. Baekhyun nodded his head and turned his back to Chanyeol. Chanyeol frowned, as he realized Baekhyun was trying to distance themselves. It made Chanyeol frustrated, as if his feelings weren't already confusing enough.
    There was a door bell ring, following with a strong knock that alerted both of the startled lovers awake. Chanyeol got up and walked over to his control panel where he received a view of the front door, only to see the face of the man he despised.
   He scowled as he pushed the button to speak.
   " What brings you to my house?"demanded Chanyeol, looking over as he saw Baekhyun appear next to him, unaware of the situation.
    Jongin spoke, " Im here to take back Baekhyun, where is he?"
   Chanyeol glanced over at Baekhyun, who had grabbed his sleeve with his fists and was begging Chanyeol with his eyes. He was shaking his head, pleading for Chanyeol to say no. Chanyeols gazed dropped towards the smaller and he felt pity for him. Besides, he hates Jongin with a passion.
"He's not coming with you, he's staying with me. Could you leave the front of my house?" Replied Chanyeol as he pressed the speak button. Jongin looked directly into the camera that was located on the keypad on the door.
" Baekhyun and I have a contract-"
Baekhyun almost interrupted until Chanyeol beat him to it.
    " I don't give a damn about your contract. He's stay with me is purely professional. I've already spoke about it to the director" Chanyeol lied. Baekhyuns eyebrows shot up at the statement and looked at Chanyeol for an answer. While it wasn't completely a lie, Chanyeol reminded himself to get on the phone asap.
     " Even so! I need to speak with him. He knows I have plenty of room in my own apartment-"
  " Listen Jongin" interrupted Chanyeol yet again," As much as I want to hear you go on about 'this contract' and that, I could care less. He's not coming with you" stated Chanyeol with an aggressive pull. His eyes darkened and looked into Baekhyuns eyes and he let go of the speaker button.
     "So" began Chanyeol as he pushed Baekhyun backwards, Baekhyun stepping back so that Chanyeol wouldn't get to close. However despite his attempts, Chanyeol lead he straight to the couch and he was pushed onto the sofa, trapped under Chanyeols advancement.
   "Care to explain the idiocy of this stupid contract? Why Jongin keeps coming after you?" Chanyeols anger began to rise and he could see fear in Baekhyuns eyes, but that only made him angrier," Why you left me?" Added Chanyeol, finally bringing up the long awaited question. Baekhyun slowly closed his eyes as the tears began to squeeze out.
   Baekhyun backed up away from Chanyeol, scared that Chanyeol would be disgusted by him. He knew that if he told him about the contract, "other " things would be revealed and he knew that Chanyeol would despise him for it. He knew there was no future with him and Chanyeol even if he didn't tell him about the things he did, because he would still be mad at him for not telling. It was better that he didn't know, that way he wouldn't see him in an uglier way. So he kept his mouth shut and only cried, hoping that would be enough for Chanyeol to leave him alone.
     Chanyeol, pulled his own hair, frustrated at trying to get an answer from Baekhyun.
   " Why won't you answer me??? What is that contract about?" Chanyeol yelled, bitting back his lips from crying, he wouldn't do that in front of Baekhyun no, never again. Baekhyun was the last person who would see him weak, because if he did he might leave again and Chanyeol resented that thought.
    " Please answer me" pleaded Chanyeol as he grabbed Baekhyuns arms and forced him to face him. Chanyeol dropped his head, hair coming onto his face. He looked down and Baekhyun finally looked toward him.
    " Please... I just need closure" added Chanyeol, almost breaking down. Chanyeol forced himself to stay sane. Baekhyun looked down at Chanyeol, even more devastated than Chanyeol. He wanted to hug him, he wanted to embrace him and tell him everything was okay, but he knew Chanyeol had moved on, and that to him, he was just a figure of the past. I mean, how could someone live with a heartbreak that immense for 4 years and accept him with open arms?
    Baekhyun pushed the hair in front of Chanyeols face back and planted a kiss on his forehead. Chanyeol froze and stared at Baekhyun in the eyes. He grabbed his face and cherished it, before snapping into reality and detaching himself from Baekhyuns captivating eye lock. He removed himself from Baekhyuns aura, which did things to him and cause him to feel things he didn't yet did want to feel.
    " I'm going to the studio to pick the songs" Said Chanyeol as he stood up and moved to the door. However Baekhyun called after him,
" Can I go?" He asked the taller, getting up and wiping the tears from his face. Chanyeol took in a deep breath, and after a while of staring at Baekhyun he agreed and nodded his head.
   . . . .      . . . .   

After coming and going to the studio, Chanyeol and Baekhyun had made it back to the apartment in silence. The left early since Baekhyun wasn't feeling well, but Chanyeol was able to talk to the director in private about Baekhyus terms.
    " I want to bring Baekhyun into our company" mentioned the director, telling Chanyeol it was confidential.
  " Not right now though, we are using him to make our relationships good with the branch companies. However Baekhyuns contract with them is almost over, and I don't like the conditions of that contract."
    "Conditions? What's wrong with it?" Asked Chanyeol, sparking interest.
    The director put his finger on his chin and his eyebrows pressed together.
   " I don't know, it's just Baekhyun talked to me about it, and it seems that he got himself into a slave contract practically." He said trying to recall the details," I couldn't get a copy of the contract, but Baekhyun told me some stuff about that Company that if I told the authorities, they would for sure shut it down"
    Chanyeols eyes widened as he grabbed the directors hand and pleaded for him to continue. He had to hear more. This was crucial hints that could help him out with his broken relationship.
     " Now Chanyeol, you need to know that this happens a lot in the entertainment business, but a lot of sexual favors are performed by the idols in order to help them grow."
   "What?" Chanyeol yelled, " I was never pressured into that! Are you trying to say Baekhyun did those type of things?"
    " Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying " said the Director looking Chanyeol into the eye, trying to calm down his angered state.
   " I don't really understand what you have between you and Baekhyun, but this type of thing happens in the industry. Just an FYI. You might not be the type to be baited but growing artist from smaller companies are succumbed to this types of bargains. Maybe you should ask him youself"
     And that's exactly what he was going to try to do. And as he watched Baekhyun take off his shoes at his doorstep, he was contemplating how he would bring it up. He had startled Baekhyuns enough that day, and he didn't want to see anymore tears. However before his eyes, he witnessed as Baekhyun fell to the ground, motionless and with a swift of his hands, Chanyeol barely, BARELY caught him. Baekhyun laid in his arms breathing very lowly and rushed to call his doctor.
