"and the award of the best group goes to-" the mc stops, making the fans have their heart racing as they wait for the result. "-rated b!" the crowd roared in glee for their idol who won the award. screams were heard, tears were made, baekhyun can see them.
him and chanyeol walk towards the stage, smiles visible on their faces. once they reach the center, baekhyun and chanyeol bow at the mc, taking the award with a kind smile. baekhyun faces the crowd, who was still cheering loudly. his eyes were glistening with tears, he tries to look at his fans one by one. thanking them through his eyes.
"i-" he started, blinking away the tears. "thank you, all of you, for your support to us. for your efforts. for your love. i know that what we do will never repay the things you did to us."
"i was a bad kid back then." baekhyun chuckles along with the crowd, chanyeol sending him meaningful smiles beside him. "i was told that i wasn't smart, that i was rude, that i couldn't do anything good. they judged me, they glared at me, they compared me. even my own mother."
"it was depressing, but along the process i just throwed it all. i don't care about what they think. i won't change the way they see me cause that would be tiring." he lets out a bitter smile, "until this guy came along." he smiles at his boyfriend who's mesmerized by the speech.
"he was my tutor. he taught me to stand up, to
live. he encouraged me, he gives me love, just like what you guys did." he lift his gaze to his fans, some were already crying. "without him, i won't be here. without you, i won't be here holding this award. without you all, i won't be here living, i would've probably in my room playing some games and shut myself from the earth."
"so, thank you. to our fans-" he turns to his side, a tear fell on his cheek. "-to chanyeol, thank you so much. for trusting me, for loving me." unlike my so called family.
