Song: Don't Start Now by Dua Lipa

Slapping his arms away from my waist, I laugh, don't even need to turn around to see his shocked face.

-"If you don't wanna see me.."

Author's POV

Turning around with the biggest smirk on his face, Baekhyun pushed Chanyeol to the nearby table and watched as the taller tried to balance himself not to fall. The way his tears fell so perfectly like diamonds on his face almost made Baekhyun feel guilty, almost.. but the smaller just threw that thought away. 'He deserves it' with both arms crossed on his chest, Baekhyun took a few steps back and leaned his back against the wall.

-"Did a full 180, crazy
Thinking 'bout the way I was
Did the heartbreak change me? Maybe
But look at where I ended up" Chanyeol could only stare at his little boyfriend rolled his eyes, smirk never left his face. Baekhyun looked like a complete stranger to him.

-"I'm all good already
So moved on, it's scary
I'm not where you left me at all, so
If you don't wanna see me dancing with somebody" Baekhyun laughed and looked straight into Chanyeol's eyes.

-"If you wanna believe that anything could stop me"

-"Don't show up, don't come outDon't start caring about me nowWalk away, you know howDon't start caring about me now" Every single words hit Chanyeol like a truck but no matter what the smaller did he could never bring himself to hate him

-"Don't show up, don't come out
Don't start caring about me now
Walk away, you know how
Don't start caring about me now" Every single words hit Chanyeol like a truck but no matter what the smaller did he could never bring himself to hate him. It's hurt to see themselves like that when all he wanted to do was holding him tight in his arms and run away to somewhere else only he and Baekhyun exist. But he couldn't.

-"Aren't you the guy who tried to
Hurt me with the word "goodbye"
Though it took some time to survive you
I'm better on the other side" he gave a 'look at you now look at me' look then chuckled.

-"I'm all good already
So moved on, it's scary
I'm not where you left me at all, so" Walking toward Chanyeol who's now crying silently, Baekhyun stopped in front of him.

-"If you don't wanna see me dancing with somebody
If you wanna believe that anything could stop me
Don't show up, don't come out
Don't start caring about me now
Walk away, you know how
Don't start caring about me now" with one last glance, Baekhyun once again turning his back to Chanyeol, too afraid to see him in this state for too long because it might change his mind and he didn't want that to happen. He needed to be strong to show the man behind him that he's living the best life without him.

-"Why? Stop crying, there are just two of us you don't have to show off your acting skills Chanyeol." Baekhyun said before taking an apple from the fridge and walk out of the kitchen leaving a sleechless Chanyeol standing there like a statue.
