It was nighttime when I woke up.

It was strangely dark, and I can't sight anything but darkness.

"Good morning, Baekhyun." I was greeted by a deep voice in my left ear, and I can see Chanyeol hyung looking at me.

Then there's the strange feeling I feel again. It's like something I want to let go but I can't.

"Good evening too, Chanyeol hyung. You didn't sleep?" I asked while fixing the bedsheet and returning the pillow I used.

"Nope. I just watched you sleep." he stated and smiled at me. Shit, shit. What is this? Oh God.

"Err... that's kind of creepy." I awkwardly said while sitting, probably trying to adjust my vision at the darkness.

"Sorry about that." he said.

A soft knock was heard in the room. "Baekhyunnie, are you awake? It's dinner time already."

"Yes, M-mom. I'm awake." I said and rose to my feet to open the door and turn on the lights.

"Did you have a good sleep, Baekhyun?" she ask as she fix my hair.

"Yes." I nodded. "Mom, why didn't you tell me that Chanyeol hyung is here? You didn't also tell me that I have a hyung." I pouted.

She looks somewhat stressed out when I told her that but then she showed an apologetic smile.

"Sorry, Baek. I thought he attended school that's why I didn't told you yet."

"Chanyeol hyung! Let's go. It's dinner time." I signaled him to come near us, and he followed silently.

It was a silent walk and all I can hear was our footsteps heading to the dining area.



The table was filled with many side dishes. But what caught my eye the most is the roasted chicken showcased at the middle of everything.

Oh my god. This is just insane.

"What are you waiting, Baek? Eat to your heart's content." Mom smiled at me, signaling to take a bite.

I hesitated at first, but end up getting the chicken's leg and I heard a chuckle.


It was Chanyeol hyung's.



Dinner time passed by like a tick of the clock. I was so full that I may throw up any time now.

"Did you enjoy the food, Baekhyunnie?" Mom asked as she offered me a glass of milk.

"Yes, Mom. It was so good, I can finish everything served at the table if I can." I slighty laughed, causing her to laugh too.

"After you drink your milk, just place it on the sink. You can go wash up and rest. We can catch up tomorrow." she instructed, so I followed. She pecked me by my forehead and bid goodnight.


During my walk towards my room (Chanyeol's rather), I noticed that Mom didn't gave a single glance or word to him. Maybe something's up.

When I arrived at the room, I sighted Chanyeol hyung by the window, staring blankly at nowhere.

"Chanyeol hyung, may I ask something?" I hesitantly asked, for this might be a bit personal.

"You've just already asked me." he chuckled. "What is it?"

"Uhm," I played the hem of my shirt, "I just noticed that Mom didn't talked or looked at you during dinner. Did you two fight? I'm sorry if I asked something personal.." I kept my head down, a little bit scared to see his reaction.

Instead of an angry voice, I heard a sigh. A deep sigh.

I looked up, seeing his gloomy face. He then looks at me in the eye.

"She's just a little upset to me. Don't worry about it." he smiles, but it didn't reached his eye. I felt a little gloomy too.

"Baek, do you believe in wishing stars?" he glanced up the sky.

"I do. Why?" I sat beside him.

"Please wish Mom wouldn't be upset to me anymore." he the looks at me.
