A Road Is Just A Dream That Has No End

Chapter Two.

Chanyeol is getting a little impatient when the person he's waiting for still haven't arrive. Kyungsoo was supposed to be here 30 minutes ago. In fact, Chanyeol's shift has already ended but he wouldn't go anywhere until he see him.

He wanted to call him but he forgot to ask for his number yesterday; as Kyungsoo too, said his goodbye and went straight home, rejecting Chanyeol's offer to send him.

It's when Kyungsoo has boarded the bus and waved at him that he realised he forgot to ask. Back in his room, he groaned frustratingly and left his roommate to suffer from his troubled dilemma.

Chanyeol stares at Kyungsoo's report; there is an id picture of Kyungsoo, looking handsome in formal attire. But instead of focusing on it, his mind drift to overthinking. What if Kyungsoo lied again?

But before he could suffer more with his thoughts, the door open and Kyungsoo walks in hastily, "Hey, sorry I'm late! I had trouble back there." Kyungsoo remove his mask and take a seat infront of him. He smile at Chanyeol, somehow knowing that the smile is slowly calming Chanyeol's worry.

"What trouble?"

Kyungsoo arrange himself properly infront of Chanyeol, "Just some problems on the air, literally. How did our county became so hazy? Ugh." He jokes on.

"I can pick you up from now."

"With what? Your skateboard?" Kyungsoo scoff thinking of the latter.

Chanyeol pout slightly, "Excuse me, I do have a car."

"Is that so? Well, let see about that later."

The latter didn't comment on anything further and only nodding. Chanyeol starts with their session, "Do Kyungsoo, date of birth is 12th January-"

"Cut the chase, Chanyeol. You already know who I am." Kyungsoo laughs it out, "Let's go straight to my reports for today."

"Very well. Hm, how do you feel today? Any pain?"

Kyungsoo shake his head, "I am surprisingly well and woke up without having to press my chest. I do cough now and then but nothing serious. Ate my pills and, that's it?"

Chanyeol feels relief hearing his updates as he hums while writing the reports, "you'll be having another chemotherapy session next week so don't be late again, okay?"

Their session is ending and Chanyeol thought of inviting Kyungsoo to hang out with him. Of course, asking for his number later. Chanyeol sign the reports and glance at Kyungsoo who is putting his mask back on and sling his bag over his shoulder, "Kyungsoo-"

Baekhyun suddenly walks inside the room, "dude, I've been waiting for you to finish your shift. You're done or not?"

"Hello, Baekhyunnie." Kyungsoo instead greet him, beating Chanyeol who is about to retort back to Baekhyun, "I miss you, Dr. Byun!"

"Kyungsoo!" Baekhyun tackles Kyungsoo into a hug leaving Chanyeol clearly dumbfounded. Since when did they grew so close together? He watch as Kyungsoo fondly rest his head on Baekhyun's shoulder and not gonna lie, he feels like separating the two and keep Kyungsoo for himself.

Which is pretty stupid, but he really wants too.

"Let's hang out," Baekhyun invite and Chanyeol roll his eyes when Kyungsoo excitedly nods. Byun Baekhyun you little fucker.

It was late evening when they finally said their goodbyes to Baekhyun. Chanyeol admit he was a little jealous seeing how close they are to each other and it makes him wonder how long did they knew one another.

"Baekhyun always buys me grape juice whenever we bump at the cafeteria," Kyungsoo tells as if he hears Chanyeol's thoughts, "we met before I was assigned under your care. I was admitted once back in the hospital. Baekhyun was there, he helped me along my process. I felt I was going to die that time because the process was so painful, so I'm very grateful at him for helping me through until I got discharged."
