Wherefore are thou, Chanyeol? × c.b ✔

Practise three

"You're doing it?!" A surprised but happy Suho cheered when he saw Chanyeol and Baekhyun standing in front of him.

Both nodded.

"What changed your mind?"

Baekhyun rolled his eyes and told Suho that it didn't matter. The two male roles stood on the stage and looked down to Suho who was sitting on the audience's seats.

"I think this hall will suit the play the most. The play includes like three places, right?" Chanyeol suggested.

Baekhyun nodded. "So you really read the script huh," he said impressed. "I thought you only wanted this role to make my life hell for a few months."

The taller one sighed and turned his back to Baekhyun. "Suho, can you tell this amateur that he should show a little bit of respect towards me?"

"Suho, can you tell this idiot that he doesn't deserve any respect?"

"Suho, can you-"

"Enough!" Suho stopped the two's anger. "If you want to play together you have to interact with each other. First things first, you two need to become friends," he explained. "Or at least something like that," Suho added.

"Friends, with that?" Chanyeol pointed at Baekhyun.

"I'm going kill him Suho, I swear."

Suho sighed and walked upstairs to the stage. He stood between Chanyeol and Baekhyun and grabbed their arms. With one pull he placed the two in front of each other.

"You two need to work together," he emphasized the last word. "Look each other in the eyes," Suho commanded, but they didn't listen. The theatre owner pinched their arms.

"Ouch!" Baekhyun yelped and decided to follow Suho's lead. He looked Chanyeol in the eyes, eyebrows furrowed, arms crossed. Chanyeol rolled his eyes before looking into Baekhyun's little puppy eyes.

"I want you two to calm down first, just relax a little. Relieve the pressure of your body, okay?"

They only nodded in a synchronised way their head.

Only two minutes passed when Suho realized that they really did relax. Their shoulders weren't stiff, Baekhyun's arms just hung down.

"You two are partners from now on. You need to accept the presence of the other," Suho said in a calm voice. "Chanyeol, I want you to tell us why this play is important to you."

"For me," Chanyeol cleared his voice. "I think it is important to have something new for the theatre, a new concept is always wished. This topic brings up new no goes and I think the world should learn to accept this"

"And?" Suho asked.

"And?" Chanyeol repeated.

"Chanyeol, there is more behind it. You two are colleagues, even if you don't like each other, you shouldn't hide things from now on." The wise leader explained.

Chanyeol sighed. "- and I'm gay. . "

"You're what?" Baekhyun asked, eyes wide opened.

"Are you deaf, idiot?"

"No, no I'm not," Baekhyun answered still irritated. "It just confused me. It-It's not like I have a problem with it I actually think now it makes a lot more sense why you want this role."

Chanyeol only nodded.

"Baekhyun and you?"

"Me? I'm not gay."

"That's not what I meant," Suho clarified with a soft smile, placing a hand on Baekhyun's shoulder. "I want you to name the reason why you want to play this role."
