Time is Everything

Baekhyun looked in the mirror.

He ran his fingers across the his right eyebrow, tilting his head so he could examine more of his face. There was still a slight bruise above his eyebrow and cuts along his hairline but other than that his wounds had mostly healed and faded. He tilted his head further to the left and tried to find the wound he had got in the side of his head but before of his thick hair, he couldn't see it. He guessed that had healed too.

Maybe in a few more days they will finally disappear. Baekhyun thought, leaning away from the mirror.

They had to go to the doctors again today, for a checkup on how he's been doing it. Baekhyun dreads it every time but he has no choice but to go.

While he was waiting to leave the house, Baekhyun thought about when he might receive the next phone call from Chanyeol. You could say it took his mind of the hospital for a while.

The previous night, The phone called seem to have gone on for hours and hours and it was like neither of them wanted to put it down. And surprisingly, Baekhyun actually thought he slept better then, than any of the nights before. He didn't know if that was specifically because of Chanyeol but he thanked him nonetheless.

As soon as Baekhyun picked up his phone to check the time, it began to ring in his hands. This time, instead of just a number, the name read Chanyeol. Baekhyun grinned to himself after he had just been thinking about the boy and clicked the answer button.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to speak for long but I'm happy to talk until then" Baekhyun said as soon as the phone hit his ears, not giving the other side a chance to speak.

"Ok" Chanyeol chuckled. "Why can't you stay for long? You going somewhere?"

"Yeah, unfortunately. I'm being dragged out the house."

"Anywhere nice?"

"If you call the hospital a nice place then, yeah sure."

Chanyeol laughed even though he sounded slightly uneasy. "Well they have nice people who do nice things so surely that does in fact make it a nice place"

"You know what I mean" Baekhyun said. "What are you doing today?"

"Oh not much."

"Come on, tell me something" Baekhyun laughed. He felt that it was slightly unfair that Chanyeol probably knew more about him than Baekhyun knew about Chanyeol. "Tell me one of your hobbies, I want to know what you like to do"

"Oh.. um.. I like to play guitar...And some times piano. I also sometimes like to make my own songs, but I don't think I'm that good yet" Chanyeol answered with his soft voice.

"I don't believe it" Baekhyun remarked. "Maybe you should show me sometime and I'll decide for myself whether it's any good"

"I'm not sure about that..." he laughed awkwardly.

"Why not?"

"I'm shy when playing around others. And I'll be even more so if your there"

Baekhyun sat down on his bed and looked at his clock on the bedside table. He had to go soon.

"That's cute" He replied. "You don't have to play around anyone else. I want to hear it for myself."
