Everyone went backstage. They cheered and applauded for Chanyeol and Baekhyun.

"That was great! I am so proud." Suho said, smiling widely. "The first LGBT+ theatre play was a great success."

"I'm glad." Baekhyun smiled.

Everyone was smiling at them, even Chanyeol was smiling. Chanyeol's eyes searched for Baekhyun's eyes, when the two made eye contact Baekhyun couldn't read Chanyeol's facial expression. Chanyeol leaned over, Baekhyun's heart went crazy. The taller male bent over to his ear and whispered.

"Thank you."

Baekhyun turned his head a little, their lips were almost touching. "For?"

"Saying these sweet things at the end of the show. I know that they weren't written in the script except the first two lines."

Baekhyun's eyes widened. "Eh. ." He stuttered. "No problem."

Hours later everyone was leaving the theatre. It was dark outside. Chanyeol was confused, why did Baekhyun say things like that, why was he always talking as if he was understanding Chanyeol and the feelings. With slow steps he walked towards the entry, seeing Baekhyun's silouette on the streets.

"What are you doing here?"

"Searching for friends." Baekhyun answered. "After all I don't have any." He smiled sarcastically.

"What are you talking about?"

"Friends, Chanyeol." He slowly stepped towards Chanyeol. "Aren't we some?"

"If we follow the things you told Sehun, we aren't."

"If we follow the things you told Sehun, we aren't." Baekhyun emphasized. "You heard what I told Sehun today right? Did it hurt, did it hurt hearing me say that we aren't friends? Tell me."

"I don't know what you want to hear."

"Why did you tell Sehun that we are no friends, Chanyeol?"

"You heard it?"

"Sehun told me. He asked me why I hang out with someone who isn't even my friend and why I don't hang out with him. And I asked myself the same, why did we hang out if we aren't friends?"

"He told you?"

"That's not the point!" Baekhyun trudged against the street. "I thought you agreed with being friends with me!"

"You sound like a kid right now, Baekhyun."

That's where Chanyeol realized that he truly hurt Baekhyun, because he was only looking at the street. Chanyeol felt guilty.

"Hey, Baekhyun, listen. I didn't mean it like that. Sehun asked me suddenly and I got nervous I guess?"

"Nervous, why?"

"It's weird."

"Weird?" Baekhyun raised an eyebrow.

"The thought of us being friends."

"I liked it. ." Baekhyun sounded dissapointed. "But I guess I was wrong, but right from the beginning. You're selfish, you can't stand the thought of being friends with me because you think you're better than me."

"That's not true."

"Shut up, it is! I only played it off because I didn't want to ruin the play, but now listen, asshole. I don't want you to talk to me, got it?"

"You really act like a diva right now. Aren't you overreacting?"

"Maybe I am for you. I just wanted to have a friend for once but you didn't take it serious at all, fucking asshole."
