Phoenix - Chanbaek

5. Moving in

(Two weeks later)
(Baekhyun's POV)

Finally! I had finally gotten all my things up to the apartment and was now waiting with Chanyeol for his moving truck to arrive.

I looked at my watch, it displaying 4:56 pm. "When were they supposed to be here?" I asked.

"At 5, they'll be here any minute now." He went back to whatever he was doing on his phone again.

And just like planned, they came one minute to 5, and sent Chanyeol a text that they were there.

"They're here" he put his phone in his pocket and went for the door. I followed him, wanting to help with things like his bed, or anything really.

After finally getting all of his things into the apartment, Chanyeol and I fell onto his bed from exaustion.

He was next to me, and I could feel my heart beat faster.

But soon he sat up, and went to fix his computer and the equipment around it.

"What's all that for?" I asked, still lying on his bed.

"This is for music production and stuff like that. "

"That had to have been expensive... how did you afford it?"

He looked more uncomfortable now.

HAD HE STOLEN MONEY???

Noooooo, maybe not, he doesn't seem like that kind of guy...

"I uuh... have, my ways... anyway, can you help me a bit here, hyung?"

I went over to him and asked what he wanted me to do.

"Plug this into the back of the computer" he gave me the end of a cable. "You'll see where it fits."

"Why can't you do it?" I chuckled. "Well because you're smaller than me, Baek. And because you like me."

I froze. "Wh-what?" I asked. "You like me. We're friends now, right?" He said.

Oh. He meant like that.

I struggled not to act flustered after that, crouching down behind his computer and behind his desk to hide my face, in the process helping Chanyeol with his cable.

After a while of looking at the computer, I found where I was supposed to plug in the cable.

"Okay, I found it" I told him, and crawled back up again.

But he wasn't in the room anymore.

"Chanyeol?"

Suddenly he came back into the room.

"Sorry, I got a call. Did you plug it in?"

"Yeah, it's done..." I looked at him.

"Listen, I need to go somewhere, but I'll be back around 8, okay?" He left the room without hearing my response.

I felt a bit ignored.

And frustrated.

Not in a sexual way.

But then I went into my own room and fell asleep on my bed.
