Wherefore are thou, Chanyeol? × c.b ✔

Practise nine

The night ended with Baekhyun falling asleep while the car ride and totally forgetting to nag on Chanyeol to tell his story. Chanyeol woke him up and brought him to Baekhyun's flat. The next morning Baekhyun was angry at himself for falling asleep.

The still dizzy boy woke up and dressed himself to get ready for the theatre. An hour later he was ready to leave the house. Meanwhile Chanyeol was still in his bed, watching his favourite show on his phone, next to him his dog Nick.

Suho called him and pleased to come to the theatre. The reason for that were the new trainees there. Suho needed Chanyeol to create a more strict atmosphere, because many people get impressed by Chanyeol by only looking at him. Chanyeol agreed and was on his way to the theatre.

After twenty minutes he reached the big dark red theatre. No one was there since there was no special play. He walked into the room where all trainees were working together. There he noticed two new faces.

"Hello" Chanyeol greeted the two.

They bowed and greeted him back, being aware Chanyeol's cold gaze. He took a seat next to them. "So you're the two new trainees, huh?" He asked and raised his eyebrows.

They nodded. "Yes, Mr. Kim asked us to wait here."

"You mean Suho?"

"Eh, I guess, Sir."

Did they just call Chanyeol Sir? The taller male was a bit shocked but didn't mind it at all. He even raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly. Minutes passed but the room was still filled with silence, Chanyeol wasn't the best if it came to opening conversation or having conversations at all.

Soon Suho entered the room and smiled brightly at Chanyeol. "Ah, you came!"

"Of course, you told me to." Chanyeol answered and looked at him.

Suho rolled his eyes. "Well, in case you guys haven't introduced each other, guys, this is Chanyeol." Suho introduced the taller one. "He is one of the most famous actors among us."

"Actually I am the famous one, Suho."

"You really love praising yourself, huh?" A new voice echoed in the room. Chanyeol looked behind Suho and saw Baekhyun standing there, smiling playfully.

"You really are everywhere I am, Baekhyun. Are you getting obsessed with me?"

"Hah," Baekhyun faked a fake laugh. " you wish, giant."  He took slow steps towards the new trainees. Baekhyun smiled at them, making their heart stop for seconds. He reached out his right hand to the two. "Hello, I am Baekhyun. If you have any questions or something else that is related to the theatre, you can ask me anytime."

One by one they shook the gentle and soft hand of Baekhyun's. They smiled, thanked him and nodded. Baekhyun took a glance at the taller who was staring at them. "Ah, Chanyeol, stop glaring at them you're scaring the new ones!"

"You're talking about them as if they were puppies, Baekhyun."

"They are!" Baekhyun cheered and squeezed their cheeks. "Look at them."

"Oh, kay. .  I guess that's enough." Suho said and pulled Baekhyun away from the two trainees. "Let's go, I'll show you the private section of the theatre. Except the costume room."

"Why?" One of then asked.

Suho turned around and looked at Chanyeol and Baekhyun from head to toe, judging gazes burning through their skin. "Because we don't know what certain people were doing their." With that he turned around and lead the two trainees out the door.

"Practising!" Both, Chanyeol and Baekhyun shouted after them.

Baekhyun sighed and took a jacket that was placed on the chair. "Well, I get going then."

"Home?"

"Yes." Baekhyun replied shortly.

Chanyeol nodded. "I think I will leave soon too, Suho wanted to discuss some things so I'll just wait here."

"Do that." Baekhyun said and straightened his jacket. "See you." He waved one last time and left the room. On the hall way he saw Sehun walking pass him.

"Already leaving?" Sehun asked, stopping Baekhyun.

Baekhyun nodded. "Yes, I've done everything Suho wanted."

"Okay." Sehun nodded and smiled. "Text me later, alright?" Baekhyun nodded and walked away. Sehun entered the room where Chanyeol was sitting. He sat next to the tall man.

"What happened to your face?" Chanyeol asked, furrowing his eyebrows at the younger one.

"Nothing, I'm just smiling." Sehun replied.

"Ah, you look weird, don't do that."

Sehun rolled his eyes and slapped his arm. "Don't say that. I'm actually here to get answers."

"Answers?"

"Answers." Sehun clearified. "So, you and Baekhyun-"

"No."

"But, you didn't even listen to me."

"Because I don't want to hear bullshit, Sehun." Chanyeol said loud and clear. "If you start with 'Are you dating' or whatever, then screw it cause no."

Sehun laughed. "Calm down, I wanted to ask if you two are finally friends. The whole team knows that you weren't the closest friends you know."

Chanyeol raised his eyebrows and nodded as if he finally understood what Sehun was talking about. "Well, yea, but no. Baekhyun and I aren't friends either."

It was confusing for Sehun to understand and process what Chanyeol just said. He looked into the air and it looked like math formulas and question marks were flying around his head. "But, Baekhyun told me that you were finally friends and that you even hang out with each other."

"Really? He seems so proud to be seen with me outside of the theatre." Chanyeol laughed loud and dirty. "No, we are no friends, perish the thoughts! I just. . " Chanyeol rubbed his chin with his index finger and thumb. "Pity him? Can I say it like that?" Chanyeol's voice sounded like he didn't care about the things he just said.

"Wow, Chanyeol. Be a little careful how you treat that boy. I begged Baekhyun so many times to leave the house and hang out with me but he didn't, shouldn't you appreciate it?"

"Appreciate what, Sehun? The annoying presence of this small idiot? You must be kidding me." Chanyeol chuckled.

"I only meant-"

He was about to set another argument against Chanyeol's doing until a sound of keys falling on the ground interrupted him. Both turned to the door and saw Suho standing there. For a second both of them got a heart attack, thinking that it was Baekhyun who just caught them.

"Sorry, I forgot the key to the other halls." Suho smiled and left. Sehun's gaze wandered to Chanyeol.

"You, Chanyeol?"

"Huh?" Chanyeol looked at him and leaned back in to the chair.

"If you really don't care about this friendship, why did you get so scared when Suho entered the room?" Sehun smirked. "Where you afraid that someone else might interrupted the conversation?"

"Shut up, Sehun. Tell Suho I'm leaving."
