Been Through: BOOK 3 - CHANBAEK FF ✔️

[ 35 ] The Love of My Life

*

The sound of the doorbell ringing this 7:45 in the morning snaps Baekhyun out of his sleepy state. Turning the coffee maker off, he rubs his eyes and yawns, before he gets his favorite mug to pour coffee in it.

The doorbell rings again.

"Who is it early in the morning," Baekhyun mumbles groggily. He doesn't have someone to ask to get the door and he's too lazy to get it himself. The guys are still sleeping because exams have just ended yesterday and he doesn't know why he is the first to wake up in this Saturday, "It must be the delivery man... I told him last time to just leave my parcel at the door."

The doorbell rings for the third time.

"Coming," Baekhyun says as he drags his feet across the living room. Hair messy and still clad in his loose pajamas, he hasn't even washed his face and brushed his teeth yet. To hell with that, it's a weekend anyway. "God. Why is he so persistent."

Opening the door and letting the sunshine strike to his face, Baekhyun is greeted by a broad chest in front of him. He looks up, seeing a brightly-smiling Chanyeol outside.

"Good morning!"

He slams the door in front of Chanyeol's face.

"Oh my god." Baekhyun clutches his pounding chest as leans his back against the door. "Oh my god!" He aggressively touches his face and he swears there are still dried saliva on the side of his lips and eye boogers in his eyes. He looks like shit and Chanyeol just had to see him in this god-awful state first thing in the morning. "Ahhhh!!!"

"Uhm, Baekhyun?" Chanyeol worriedly calls from the outside, hesitantly knocking on the door. "Are you okay?" He is still about to knock again on the door when Baekhyun opens it the second time that he almost knocks on Baekhyun's nose.

He wears his radiant smile again the sun is found jobless.

"Good mor---"

"T-ten minutes!" Baekhyun blurts out, "Give me ten minutes!"

And then he's quickly running to the stairs and heads back to his room to do his morning routine. He takes a shower within three minutes and get dressed in two minutes to whatever random shirt and pants he pulled from his dresser. The remaining five minutes is used to applying cleanser, toner, moisturizer, eye cream and Vitamin C serum on his face at that sequence to make his skin look extra pretty and glowing on Chanyeol's eyes. He also puts on cologne on his neck and wrists.

Before, he wouldn't care how he'd look like in front of Chanyeol-- whether he's completely naked or he just took a dump-- it's fine. But it's now entirely different. Chanyeol is like a different person and he has to look the best in front of him even under time pressure.

"Sorry! To keep you waiting!" Baekhyun blurts out after he opens the door to Chanyeol again. He's still panting for his breath as he talks, ushering Chanyeol inside the house. "Come in!"

"Did I bother you for coming early today?"

"No! Not at all. Make yourself comfortable. This is your house anyway."

"My house?"

"Yes. You used to live here, it's still under your name, so... Yeah. "

"Oh, I'll just come in then."

Chanyeol steps inside, and he doesn't forget to change his footwear into indoor slippers before he follows Baekhyun towards the kitchen who is making breakfast.
