Baekhyun breathed in the fresh air and smiled as he exhaled Blue sky, clean and a line of trees, a big patch of flowers. Wow!what kind of heaven is this?
Well, there were rows of high-rise building built in a semi-circle but it only added to the beauty of the place. The entire picture that Baekhyun had to remind himself that he was still in the same stinky city. Who would have thought that there was a place like this in the middle of the city?
This was the place his would-be roommate should- be. Chen mention about someone looking for a roommate. He just said a pretty decent neighborhood, with a lots of trees'. This was more than decent.Plus it was very near the university.
The biggest plus was that the rent was even half the price of the current rent.When Baek heard about it, he pestered Chen to give the contact details of the owner right away.
Though, looking back, he thought he should have been more suspicious. It was a rent lower than the shabbiest room you could get. To think that this apartment was located in one of the luxurious neighborhood in the city.
He remembered Chen saying that the owner was a student in their university, so how could a student afford something like this?
Wait.
He did not remember asking Chen who the owner was. Or did he mention it? Baekhyun tried to think back on their conversation.
*************************
Come to think of it, Chen never mention about the owner and Baek never asked either. He was over the moon when he heard about the rent that nothing else seemed to matter.
What if the owner was a serial killer?or someone wanted by the police? or had a weird fetish?or just weird?
Baekhyun shook his head. How could such a person own a place like this. There was just no way. right?
Surely, a good place like this with a ridiculously cheap room came with a catch. He had asked the owner about the price and the other replied that they would talk about it once they meet.
Baekhyun sighed there was no point in prologing his agony. If he would be disappointed with the owner, then so be it.Still he could not help but glance as thought he was commiting to his memory every nook and cranny of the place.
He arrived at the entrance of the building when his phone ringed.Its like the owner texted him.
*"Good morning'
*'Did you find the place?"
*'Did you get lost?
*'Let me know if you have trouble finding the place.
The barrage of the text made Baekhyun smile. See! how could this be a bad person?
He had rushed to this place after class and as soon as the owner gave the go signal for a visit. They did not need angent so that lessened the procedures they had to under take.With all the excitement, it never crossed his mind to ask for a name. Knowing it was another guy in the same university was enough for him.
He read the message again.The other person sounded polite and caring in his message that Baekhyun grew comportable right away and the fact that the owner did not insist on calling him as their means of communication.Phone calls never failed to make Baekhyun anxious.So he really greatful for the owner.
But what did that say about his judgement of people? He shook his head despite himself.
He tapped a short reply, saying that he was at the building already.
*'Alright see you soon then."
Beside, his worries did not matter now that he arrived at the door of the apartment. He stared at the door for a few minutes and took a deep breath.He was starting to feel small and out-of-place,his doubts multiplying every second.
With a shake finger, he rang the bell. He waited all the while. taking deep breaths in an attempt to placate his wildly beating heart.
He did not have to wait long.
Sooner when he rang the bell, the door swung open. And there stood Baekhyun's rumored boyfriend, Park Chanyeol.
Baekhyun blinked multiple times. With every blink, there was a hope that the person was only a figment of his imagination.
But Chanyeol remained standing infront of him, watching him,and waiting for Baekhyun's reaction to subside.
Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that the person,The owner he had been texting with was this guy.
"You're Byun Baekhyun,right?"Chanyeol peered at him,his easy smile playing on his lips.
"Y-y-you...you are the one looking for a roommate?"
Chanyeol smiled and open the door widely.
"Yes,but come in inside first you'll see the place."
Chanyeol led the way inside the house.
Baekhyun trotted behind him. He tried wrap his head on this revelation. Park Chanyeol Of all people,it had to be him?Chanyeol was a popular guy at the university. He was not sure what was the other's major but he often saw him in their department.But everytime he saw the other man, there was always a handful of people flocking around him. With his handsome face and amiable personality,the entire campus could not get enough of him.Chanyeol was the number one source of envy by a lot of guys.
Yet whenever Baekhyun saw that smile, he could not help but feel squeasy. He new that did not make sense. Still, alarms blared inside his head when he faced Chanyeol.
Maybe good-looking people had that kind of effect. they unconsciously made you feel
your own inadequancies. That must be the reason why Baekhyun itched to get away
from Chanyeol everytime he saw him.And he never wanted to have anything to do with him.If only he just asked...That he reminded him. Chen should have known it was Chanyeol. Baekhyun recalled their conversation and realized that his friend looked uncomfortable. Chen tried to warn him a lot of times. He knew that Baekhyun would not want anything to do with Chanyeol. Baekhyun mentally shook his fist.
"Baekhyun?"
Baekhyun continued walking and dumped at Chanyeol as the other turned around.He was saying something but Baekhyun was too busy in his own head that he did not hear what was said.Baek looked up and started to apologized when his breath caught in his throat.
There,infront of him was Chanyeol's handsome face.so close,he could probably count his long eyelashes if he wanted to.His brown almond shaped eyes stared back at Baek.Perhaps because he was at home.
Chanyeol's hair was down compared to the usual brushed up bangs he had at school giving him a laid-back feel.With his black long-sleeved shirt and grey cotton pants,He looked relaxed,none of the priceling vibe which Baekhyun found charming.baekhyun turned away his gazed.This attractiveness was too much for his mortal eyes.
"Are you okay?"Chanyeol asked.
"Yes,"Baekhyun tried to shift his attention to something else.
It was not hard when infront of him was the largest living room he had ever seen.Baek roomed his eyes around,still not quite believing what he was seeing.It was wide space that was the same as his current apartment.It had the usual sort of coach and a center table,a larger television screen hanging on the wall.Beside it was a kitchen with a certain Island.
