My Beautiful Bus Boy

The Ring

As soon as the two of them landed in the lobby, they were met with Kyungsoo and Jongin greeting them with wry smiles.

"Morning, may I take this one?" Kyungsoo asked, looking at Chanyeol as he reached out and tugged on Baekhyun's arm.

Chanyeol looked shocked at the question.

Baekhyun on the other turned bright red at the question. Kyungsoo made it sound as if Baekhyun belonged to Chanyeol.

"Okay, good. Baekhyun come with me." Kyungsoo instructed, but rather than letting Baekhyun follow him, he dragged him along instead.

The smaller tripped over his own feet as he was dragged away from Chanyeol. He gave a pleading look towards the taller, who was quickly taken away by Jongin.

Baekhyun gasped as he watched Chanyeol get tugged away in the opposite direction of him. He couldn't believe this was how they are going to spend their first day as a couple.

He sulked as Kyungsoo pulled him up next to him, "Use your feet. Come on." Kyungsoo demanded as he released the his friend's wrist and continued walking ahead.

Baekhyun glared at Kyungsoo, shooting lasers to the back of his head as he steadied his balance and caught up to him, "What exactly are you doing?" Baekhyun asked, his lips in a pout.

"We need to talk." Was Kyungsoo's short, simple reply.

Baekhyun opened his mouth to speak.

"You'll see. You hungry?" Kyungsoo cut him off, looking at him for the last question.

Baekhyun couldn't deny his stomach's need for food, the nod of his head was an automatic response from his body. His mind only had mere traces of the fact his chances of keeping Chanyeol as his boyfriend could slim down to nothing due to this unfortunate event of being split apart their first day with their new status.

Kyungsoo smiled and led Baekhyun to wherever it was Kyungsoo had in mind.

Baekhyun's mouth watered at the breakfast set before him. Although he wasn't used to eating this early in the day, he couldn't help staring at the food like it was his last breath to live. The western dish had sweet smelling pancakes, drenched in sappy syrup and powdered sugar. A few pieces of smoky bacon laid next to a pile of marvelous yellow scrambled eggs, steam lifting off them as the pepper decorated the top.

Despite not eating a full breakfast for the past couple years, Baekhyun wouldn't let the small drop of disgust in his stomach stop him from devouring the entire meal. 

The scent that lifted from the stack of pancakes pulled at Baekhyun's sweet tooth, he could already feel the sugar coursing through his veins.

"So, you're officially dating the giant?" Kyungsoo's voice protruded Baekhyun's fantasies with his food.

"What?" Baekhyun asked, not quite understanding Kyungsoo's lingo. Plus his mind was in the gutter, all the delicious food in front of him was quite distracting.

"Chanyeol. You guys are a thing now?" Kyungsoo clarified as he studied the food in front of himself. He quickly glanced up at his friend and shook his head, a proud smile slipped on his lips.

Baekhyun rubbed his hands together, a blush creeping to the apples of his cheeks, because him and Chanyeol are 'a thing'.

He nodded shyly before letting out a stifled chuckle, realizing that 'the giant' was in reference to Chanyeol, "Yeah. He asked me last night."

Baekhyun began to pick at his eggs, feeling too shy to eat. While the smell was tempting him, the subject at topic was bit more important.

"Baekhyun, is he the one you talked about?" Kyungsoo asked as he took small bites of his own food. His eyes were downcast as he waited for his best friends reply.
