Wherefore are thou, Chanyeol? × c.b ✔

Practise ten

One month. It has been a month since Chanyeol and Baekhyun decided to play together in 'Keep it from the world'. Only three more weeks until the big show, everyone was excited for the first LGBT+ theatre play they ever had.

The team gathered together to a dinner in their favourite restaurant. Everyone sat on their usual seats, ordering their food.

"Should I try something more spicy this time, Sehunie?"

Sehun chuckled, how could a grown man effect him with only a nickname. Sehun looked at the number Baekhyun was pointing at on his menu, leaning a bit more towards the smaller one. "Mhh, it sounds delicious but three jalapeño pepper signs do look spicy."

"I think I will try it anyways!" Baekhyun smiled, "Number 42 please and a coke."

The waiter nodded and wrote the number of the food and water down. "Anything else, Sir?"

"No, thank you." Baekhyun smiled sweetly. The waiter nodded once again and walked back to the kitchen.

"Tz, such a flirt, aren't you Byun?" Chanyeol threw an unnecessary comment into the room.

"What did you order, Sehunie?" Baekhyun looked at the tall man who sat to his right and clinched on his arm.

Did he just ignore me? Chanyeol asked himself "Byun, are you ignoring me?" Chanyeol asked straight forward.

"Huh?" He turned his head towards Chanyeol. "No, I didn't! Sorry." Baekhyun apologized. "What did you say?"

"Forget it."

"It's weird to sit on the same dinner table with you two and not seeing you arguing any further." Suho said. "But I'm glad. I want you all to be nice towards each other because we need to stick together, especially after three weeks. Do you guys even know what could happen?"

Everyone was listening carefully. "We could get hate. Some of you don't care about that, Chanyeol." Suho emphasized Chanyeol's name. "Because they can handle it. But it could have a big influence towards the theatre and bring disadvantages for us."

"But" Baekhyun spoke up, raising his hand for a weird reason. "Maybe they will take us as a role model for other theatres. Maybe we will be known as 'the first gay theatre play'. Maybe we are going to attract the LGBT+ community to visit our theatre."

"Or," Chanyeol interrupted him. "Maybe, this will be the biggest flop ever. That's why we need to try our best." He looked Baekhyun straight in the eyes. "Not only the actors but the crew itself. The stage has to look perfect, we need to see this as our first theatre play ever."

Everyone nodded and agreed with Chanyeol.

"The stage will look perfect, Sehun is here for the lighning, which has a huge influence for the atmosphere and he never failed to create a great one."

"Thank you, Baekhyun." Sehun smiled at him, gaining a smile back from the smaller male next to him.

"I just want you all to know, that I take responsibility for whatever happens and if something bad happens which makes us loose the theatre, I am sorry." Suho apologized.

"Don't worry." Lay comforted him by putting his hand on Suho's shoulder. "You did a good job until now and that will continue."

"Right." Kyungsoo agreed. "I think we are a good team and that we can handle this."

A light smile was plastered on Suho's face. The comforting words and the support of his workers really helped him to stay stable on both of his feet.

The food arrived one by one, they waited until everyone had his plate before beginning to eat. The food looked delicious as always, that it was even able to make the stomachs growl in hunger.
