ChanBaek ff "My World"

Part 5 "Im not like them"

Chanyeol

      I pulled away after a minute. Not quite sure of what just happened or why I did it. I looked at Baekhyun. His eyes were wide, face red and mouth hanging open.

    "No.. no, you can't do that." He whispered.

   "Do what?" I asked. He looked up at me with tears in his eyes.

  "You can't act like you care for me. Because I'll believe it and I'll get attached to you and I'll get hurt again. I've been hurt too many times and I can't take it anymore" he explained.

   "Baek..." I whispered. Causing him to look up at me.

  "I'm not acting..." I whispered, but he heard. And he ran. He ran away from me. I scared him off. I face palmed myself.

  "Dammit Chanyeol" I yelled and ran after him. I seen him sitting on the stairs, with his head in his lap, knees pulled to his chest and hood over his head. I walked over and sat beside him.

   "Baek... I'm sorry, for kissing you, for beating Sehun up and whatever else I should be sorry for." I said, looking at my hands. He still didn't look up at me, and I didn't know what to do.

  "Please don't be mad at me..." I mumbled, loud enough for him to hear.

  "I'm not acting because I do care about you.. and I won't hurt you, at least not on purpose, I promise!! Whoever hurt you before, I'm not like them..." He lifted his head, looking at me. I could see his tear stained cheeks and puffy red eyes. He had been crying...

  "I'm not mad at you Chanyeol, and you don't need to apologize... and I know you're not like them, you're completely different.." he whispered.

  "You say you care now... you won't in a month, you don't know me Chanyeol, you don't realize how complicated my life is. Nobody understands" I put my hand on his back.

   "I want to understand, but you need to let me. I want to help you. I want you to be happy, I wanna see you smiling, not crying like this" I told him while rubbing his back in an attempt to calm him down a bit.

   "You wouldn't be smiling if everything you ever cared about was gone, and nobody will even talk to you..."

  "Now you have me to talk to you" I smiled and he laughed a little. He smiled. And his smile is the prettiest and brightest smile I've ever seen. And his laugh is adorable, how could one not smile after hearing his laugh?

   "You laughed"

   "Well yeah, that's kind of a normal thing that humans to Chanyeol." he scoffed.

  "Yeah but... your smile is so pretty."

We were back in our room and getting ready for bed. I didn't see Baekhyun anywhere so I figured he was in the poor excuse of a kitchen. I threw on some pyjamas and walked into the bathroom but quickly went out after hearing Baekhyun, who was only in a towel squeal and throw a hair drier at the door.

"Sorry!! Sorry, oh my god!!" I closed the door and sat against the wall. He did look pretty cute though... if only he had dropped that towel... I thought of Baekhyun, with that towel on the floor.. me pinning him against the wall... I mentally slapped myself.

   "No Chanyeol, you can't think about him in those ways!!"I mumbled to myself while ruffling my hair. I looked up when Baekhyun walked out of the bathroom in an oversized hoodie and bunny slippers. He has got to be the cutest thing to ever exist.

   "I'm... I'm sorry I-I should've knocked-"

"It's okay Chanyeol" he smiled and I got up off he floor. We both walked to our beds and I climbed under the blankets.

"Goodnight Baek" I called across the room before flicking the light switch off. I turned on my side, facing the wall and closed my eyes, eventually drifting off to sleep.
