Enchanted (CHANBAEK)

||13||

He's not used to this kind of treatment. The moment they arrived at the apartment, Chanyeol didn't utter a single word to him. And he hates it. Baekhyun knows what he did was wrong and Chanyeol was just worried about him but, how can he apologize properly if the taller doesn't want to talk to him?

Baekhyun sighed, looking over his shoulders to glance at Chanyeol who's busy editing his videos. He can still feel the rage from Chanyeol based on his furrowed eyebrows and clicking of his tongue three times every minute. Yes, Baekhyun counted.

He sighed again. He wants to talk to him but he's afraid that Chanyeol will shout at him. He prefers it when they bicker, he prefers it when Chanyeol teases him. He doesn't want this cold and silent treatment.
Baekhyun didn't notice that he was already crying. His pillow was getting wet as the tears continue to fall. He also has to bite his lips to prevent the sobs from escaping. Chanyeol knowing that he's crying is the least thing he wants right now.

After crying so much discreetly, he fell asleep. Hoping that they will be okay tomorrow.

But boy, he was wrong.

Chanyeol woke him up and he was about to greet him a happy good morning when the taller just exited the room. It was the most awkward morning Baekhyun experienced in his entire life.

And because it was too awkward, he didn't know where to place his arms on their way to the shop. With another tsk from Chanyeol, the taller grabbed his arms from behind and wrapped it around his waist.

"I'm sorry." Baekhyun said as soon as he got off of the motorcycle.

Chanyeol looked at him and sighed. "Okay." He nodded. "I'll be going now."

He was about to leave when Baekhyun held his arm. "W-wait.."

"What's wrong?"

"Oh... nothing. Uh, be safe." Chanyeol only nodded and left.

"Still mad at you?" He turned when he heard Junmyeon speak. He waved a little and Junmyeon did the same thing.

"Yes, I told him that I was sorry and he said okay but I think he's still mad."

Junmyeon patted Baekhyun's head. "You see, he was really worried yesterday. When I noticed you were not around, I immediately called him. And do you know what he did when he arrived here?" He paused to look at Baekhyun. "He shouted at me, scolding me for letting you get away. Aish, that kid. Forgetting who's the hyung between us." He shook his head while chuckling.

Baekhyun felt guilty. Because of him, Chanyeol got mad at Junmyeon. "I'm sorry, Hyung. I really do."

"Nah, it's okay. I understand him. But, what you did was wrong, Baekhyun. In your world, you're a prince so you are protected 24/7 but this world is different. Even if you rub off their faces that you're a prince, no one would believe you. And there are people out the who would take advantage of you. I hope you understand why Chanyeol is being like this."

"I know, I understand. I really want to make it up to him  but I don't know how." Baekhyun said, devastated.

There was silence between them for a while when Junmyeon suddenly grinned. "Hey, Baek."

Baekhyun looked up to him. "Yes, Hyung?"

"I have an idea."

Chanyeol came to fetch him and before they left, Junmyeon raised his fist and mouthed "fighting!"

Baekhyun gulped. Remembering what Junmyeon told him. It was really embarrassing but if this is the only way, then so be it. Clutching the paper bag in his chest, he prays. Oh dear lord, please lend me strength.
