Phoenix - Chanbaek

7. Guitar playing

(Baekhyun's POV)
(After Chanyeol left)

I felt relieved that I had some time for myself without getting attacked by Chanyeol every five minutes, I couldn't take it anymore.

I wasn't prepared enough for this.

He's just too good looking for me not to stare, not to get flustered, get the wrong idea and stuff, constantly.

I mean yeah I knew already when I stood in Kyungsoo's house that I was attracted to this Chanyeol guy, but I never though living with him would be this exhausting.

And where had he gone out to?

I mean I didn't ask since it's none of my business. I honestly didn't really care either, I was just happy to be left alone.

But... at the same time I wanted him to return. I wanted him to talk to me, to laugh, to smile. He was such a cute guy.

But he wasn't like me. I liked guys, he didn't. He liked a Norwegian girl called something European. Well her name was Heejin. I remember because I dislike her. I really really dislike her.

I realized the apartment had gotten cold again, so I went to the Corner of Blankets and got myself a couple of blankets that I could cuddle into until I felt warmer. Before sitting down I went to the radiators to turn them up a bit. I thought they might heat the room up like before again, but they took so much longer to work this time.

I watched some TV, and fell asleep in the blankets.

(Chanyeol's POV)

I was getting lightheaded. The blood transfusion was over, and I looked at the doctor sitting on the other side of my sister's bed.

"Three liters is a lot, mr Park. I suggest you take it easy the rest of the day. Maybe lay down, watch TV or something of the kind. Wait for a couple of days before you start doing any physically draining tasks such as running, working out, walking up stairs or carry heavy things" he instructed me.

"Yeah sure dr Kwon. I... will" I spoke more slowly now. But it was all worth it for Eunmin. She had gotten a tumor removed but they had accidentally let her lose a bunch of blood. I'm the only other one with the same blood type as her, since we have a really rare blood type...

I had to give some of my blood to her.

She was lying there. She wasn't moving, but she had grown up so much. Her hair was black and short, her facial features had developed from a child's to a teen's.

I wish she had been awake to notice the change herself.

I thanked dr Kwon before heading out of the room. But before I walked out, I let myself look at her again. I looked at Eunmin. She was just lying there. It was so unfair. Why had this happened to her?

I closed the door, letting the doctors do what they do and decided to head to Bora's office.

I went to her corridor and stopped by the door to her office. I knocked carefully and I heard a muffled "come in" from inside.

I opened the door slightly, looking in to see Bora sitting there. When she saw that it was me she smiled and told me to come in and take a seat.

"So, do you remember last time?" She asked. I nodded. "What did we end with? Was it paper or carton?" She asked looking through her notebook. "Carton" I told her. She made a sound signaling she remembered now, and then brought up a price of paper from her drawer.

"Let's warm you up. Try paper again."

I looked at the piece of paper in her hand and concentrated. I didn't avert my gaze or let anything disturb me.
