I Wished For You

Tactix

Baekhyun carefully walked across the room, footsteps as silent as he could manage.

"Where are you going?"

Baekhyun stopped moving.

Shit! Kyungsoo woke up!

Baekhyun thought he would've been able to get out undetected because his roommate was obviously asleep but...Kyungsoo must've fallen asleep not too long ago because there was no other explanation for him to wake up like that.

Baekhyun turned around slowly to see Kyungsoo's silhouetted form sit up and rub his eyes.

"I..I uhm..." He faltered. Damn, what was he supposed to say?

"Do you have an 8 am today?" Kyungsoo asked blearily, already sliding back under covers, humming in satisfaction as he did.

I wish Baekhyun thought.

But no, he was up at freaking 5:30 am because Park Chanyeol had threatened him to be in the gym by 6. He could've easily ditched him but he wasn't about to be manhandled by the jock again!

Even more so, what if Park Chanyeol blabbered off about him to Kim Jongin?

Nope nope. Too many risks.

"No. I wanted to draw Xiumin with a sunrise. Inspiration y'know?" Baekhyun lied and mentally facepalmed at such a stupid lie.

But Kyungsoo seemed to believe him because Baekhyun heard him snort and the shuffling of sheets indicating that Kyungsoo had probably settled back in. Baekhyun is about to tip toe out of there when

"You didn't sleep last night?" He asked sternly.

"Was up coding." Kyungsoo yawned.

"You workaholic," Baekhyun made a tch sound.

"Leave already," Kyungsoo grumbled and waved him away but not before reminding him to bring along a water bottle.

Baekhyun smiled as he gazed at where Kyungsoo would be lying under the duvet, his mood uncharacteristically sober as he thought about how blessed he was to have such amazing friends. His wandering thoughts were brought back into present by his phone vibrating in his hand.

Text message from Park Chanyeol:
Mission Make Mochi Muscular DAY 1!! You ready? I'm in the sac gym!

Baekhyun gently locked the door behind him and texted back a reply. Almost immediately he got a call from the tall jock.

"Good morning! How does it feel to be on this epic transforming journey?"

"I feel great. Absolutely fantastic." Baekhyun said in a dull tone as he came down the stairs.

"I can feel your excitement all the way here." Park Chanyeol snickered.

"You're not allowed to laugh! I almost had a heart attack first thing in the morning!" Baekhyun complained.

Damn, it was cold out. Baekhyun shivered.

"Why? Are you alright? Do we need to go to the hospital? I have my jeep, I can come. Did you take your medicines—"

"Calm down Park. I'm fine. You know Kyungsoo?"

"Kyungsoo...?"

"My roommate."

"The small one with the weird haircut who almost fainted in hospital?"

"Well aren't you detailed?" Baekhyun snorted.
