Wherefore are thou, Chanyeol? × c.b ✔

Practise two

Two days later, he finally decided to take a glance at the script Suho gave him.

"Juhyun and Eunsuk need to hide their love towards the rest of the world. The only side of the world who knows about the couple is the internet." Baekhyun read the introduction out loud while laying on his bed.

"Therefore, the couple needs to stay anonym. They post couple pictures on the social media, but with their faces covered of course. The audience will see how the two are struggling between the decision of keeping their love secret and hide it from everyone at school and in private because of all the insults, which is not what a relationship should be. Or to announce it publicly and risk getting hated."

"To clarify the conflict: This story will show the other side of a gay relationship, this causes the audience to feel the same things they do when they go through discrimination. In the end, the couple will break up, this has the effect that the audience sees what they cause just by not accepting the way they love each other. After we let the audience suffer, they hopefully will change their opinion towards that. It should be a play about emotions."

Baekhyun nodded while reading it out. "Sounds like an interesting plot," he talked to himself. "The only thing I have to do is, convince Suho to choose someone else than Chanyeol."

With this plan Baekhyun headed towards the theatre, he knew that Suho will be there. Suho and Lay literally spend the most of their time there. Planning the plays, writing new ones, cleaning everything up. After driving for fifteen minutes Baekhyun finally reached the theatre. People were waiting to get in.

"Who's play is today?" Baekhyun whispered to himself. "Excuse me, can I go through?" he asked a younger couple while squishing himself through the crowd. The bodyguard on recognized Baekhyun and let him enter the hall.

"Where is Suho?" he asked Kyungsoo who was passing by.

"Backstage of stage 2"

Baekhyun nodded and walked towards stage 2. There he saw Suho, next to him Chanyeol with crossed arms. They looked like they were arguing. Suho shook his head while speaking, but Chanyeol only rolled his eyes.

"Don't you know, that he can't reach my level, Suho?" the words got clearer with each step.

"You even acted with beginners, Chanyeol. Stop searching for any excuses."

"Is Mr Perfect disappointed with someones acting skills once again?" Baekhyun interrupted the two.

"Indeed, I am, Baekhyun," he agreed with the smaller one. "Yours" Chanyeol added.

"You don't even know how I act you, idiot."

Suho looked at the two and sighed. "Enough, both of you. I am your boss, so listen," Suho commanded. "Did you two read the script I gave you?"

Both nodded.

"Do you two want this role?"

They nodded again.

"Then this is the end of the discussion. We can talk about other details later, Chanyeol needs to get ready for his play now." Suho left the backstage. The room they were in was filled with silence.

"I guess we can't change Suho's mind about changing the characters by himself, so why don't you give up on it yourself?"

Baekhyun sighed and crossed his arms. "Chanyeol, please stop talking non-sense. I am going to be a part of this play if you want it or not. Why don't you just reject the role?"

Chanyeol didn't answer. Baekhyun still waited.

"I just think that this play has an important message, no amateur should play in a play like this."
