Wherefore are thou, Chanyeol? × c.b ✔

Practise thirteen

Chanyeol and Baekhyun sighed in relieve after the curtain closed. Now they had 15 minutes to breath. As soon as they left the theatre, the backstage workers applauded. "You did well until now, guys." Suho cheered for them. "I hope the audience will like it."

"They will, we were great. Weren't we, Chanyeol?" Baekhyun asked and turned to look if Chanyeol was agreeing with him. Unfortunally the tall male's back was turned towards Baekhyun as he was talking to a female co-worker of them.

Baekhyun rolled his eyes and walked towards the table  to take a water bottle. Soon Chanyeol joined him.

"Are you okay?" Chanyeol asked.

A nod was the only respond Chanyeol got from Baekhyun before he walked away and sat on a couch. He closed his eyes and sighed, Baekhyun seemed a little exhausted.

"Are you okay?" Same question, different person. Baekhyun opened his right eye and saw Sehun standing infront of him before he sat next to Baekhyun.

"Actually I am a little worried about the audience, I acted infront of Suho as if I thought that everything is okay," he sighed. "But I'm not sure about it."

"I thought he was okay?" Chanyeol whispered to himself and watched the both having their conversation.

Baekhyun placed his head on Sehun's shoulder. Sehun smiled lightly and rested his hand on Baekhyun's thigh. "Don't worry, you're great."

"I know."

"Wow, you sound like Chanyeol."

Baekhyun giggled. "I do?"

"Mh hm." Sehun nodded. "Do you guys hang out often?"

"Mhh," Baekhyun looked at Sehun's hand. "We don't actually. We're only co workers, nothing more."

"No friends?"

Baekhyun laughed. "No, never. . "

Chanyeol raised his eyebrows and decided to stop eavesdropping on them. Wasn't it Baekhyun who told him that they were friends? Chanyeol shook his head, no time for thoughts like that.

"Is everyone ready? We're starting in five minutes." Suho informed everyone. The actors went to the stylists to re-check their make up.

Chanyeol and Baekhyun stepped on the stage, the curtain was still covering them. Slowly the curtain slid to the right and left. The audience watched them in curiousity.

"How many times do I have to tell you, let him alone! Your behaviour is childish, are you aware of that?" Eunsuk stood infront of his so called best friend.

"I don't know what your problem is. Just step aside, Eunsuk."

"I won't, leave him alone."

"If you won't step aside we will punch you too."

"What?" Eunsuk's eyes widened. "Aren't you my best friend?"

"Best friends listen to each other."

"Well then listen to me and stop bullying him for his sexuality!" Eunsuk's voice raised.

"You're really acting gay right now, do you know that?"

"Acting gay? Does defending a person who is being bullied making me gay? If so, then I fucking am." He yelled. The unexpected happend. Sungjun threw Eunsuk on the floor, cursing at him. Eunsuk yelped because of the sudden pain. The fallen boy lifted his head and watched Sungjun walking away from him to beat up the bullied boy.
