It's the thousandth, no, maybe it's already the millionth time Chanyeol has been here in this room, yet the feeling in his chest whenever he comes here, smelling Baekhyun's faint Omega scent all over the air is still the same just like the first time. Each stuff is at its proper place just like where it should be. Chanyeol has memorized everything Baekhyun owns after all, and one of his most favorite among them is the picture frame displayed on top of Baekhyun's study table.

Humming a tune he only can hear, Chanyeol gets up from sitting on the bed and approaches the said photo. A melancholic smile appears on his lips as he swipes the glass with his fingers, hovering his thumb at the faces of the twelve year-old youngsters wearing boyish grins and slinging arms around each other. There in the photo he finds his younger self on the left next to a bright as always Baekhyun in the middle. It's like this childhood friend of him never ages. His smile is still the same even after ten years.

Chanyeol's eyes shift a little to Baekhyun's right, his facial expression turning wistful as he stares at the photograph of Loey, his twin Alpha brother. A memory flashes back in his mind, reminiscing them three's good old days still etched in his heart and his mind.

"Hey, wait up!"

"Run faster, Baekhyun!"

Twelve year-old Chanyeol chuckles while watching his twin brother and Baekhyun happily chasing each other across the vast backyard of their mansion. The wind is crisp and gentle, but he chooses to just sit at the veranda shading himself away from the sun. Being a Beta, he's not that fond of physical activities like running, so he prefers playing video games instead inside the house. But Baekhyun loves playing outside just like Loey, so Chanyeol has no choice but to stay out to watch them have fun. He's having fun though, seeing Baekhyun having fun. It's really fun like that.

"Chanyeol! Come here real quick!" Loey says excitedly, waving at him.

"Look! I caught a butterfly!" Baekhyun hollers from the distance, energetically flipping his hand to usher him over. "Channie! What do you call this one again?!"

"That... that's called Small Blue," Chanyeol is still panting heavily when he arrives under the tree where Baekhyun and Loey are keeping a butterfly inside a glass jar. Chanyeol has his hands on top of knees to catch for his breath, nose scrunching when his specs slide down the bridge of his nose after running. "S-scientific name is Cupido minimus..."

"Cupido what?"

"Cupido minimu-- just call it Small Blue."

"It's not blue though," Loey squints his eyes in confusion and shoves the jar to his face, "It's more of a dark brown. So why is it called blue?"

"Oh, I know!" Baekhyun exclaims, stealing the jar from Loey's hands, "When you look at it closely, you'll see some bluish spots that spread on the base of its wings." He turns to Chanyeol. "Am I right, Channie?"
