Goodbye

(if you want the full experience of this chapter listen to Suho's o2 or just any sad song by him)

 Sehun woke up the next morning more anxious than ever before. He knew that if today didn't go well, he would most likely never get Chanyeol back. Sehun got out of bed and dressed up as put together as he could without looking too flashy. Sehun was rushing around his house trying to eat and get coffee in his system while also going over in his head what he might say to Chanyeol. All of the sudden Sehun felt a buzz against his thigh, his phone. Pulling out his phone he sees that It's Yixing calling. "What do you need I'm trying to get ready to win this boy back." Sehun says while running around his house to get his nerves out. "Okay loverboy, I was just checking in on you. Tell me how it goes yeah?" Yixing laughs on the other line. "Yeah, I will let you know once I know too. Don't keep calling because I am about to leave and I can't have any distractions" Sehun laughs and hung up before his friend could argue. Once he got his keys in his hand and checked his appearance one last time, Sehun was out the door. The drive to Chanyeol's house had Sehun on the edge of his seat. The drive is only 15 minutes but it felt like a lifetime to Sehun. Sehun saw another car out infront of Chanyeol's house and his heart dropped, he knew that was Baekhyun's car. Sehun took a deep breath and walked up to the front door giving a soft but loud enough knock. Sehun could hear laughing on the other side of the door and felt bad for interrupting the two. Sehun's heart stopped when Baekhyun opened the door like it was his house, not to mention he was also shirtless. Once Baekhyun locked eyes with him, the smile on his face faded. 

"Why are you here? Did Chanyeol call you?" Baekhyun says with a quieter voice. "No but, I just need him to let me talk to him, please let him know I'm here" Sehun pleaded. Baekhyun sighed and turned around from Sehun. "Chan! The stripper is here! Do you want him to come in?!" Baekhyun yelled to let Chanyeol hear from the other room. Sehun heard shuffling from the inside and soon enough Chanyeol was face to face with him. "Come in, this better be good" Chanyeol invites Sehun in. Sehun and the other two sit on the couch, the silence made the air thick and uncomfortable. "Well, lets hear it. Why are you here?" Baekhyun breaks the silence. "I would like it if I could talk to Chanyeol in private. This isn't something I want the common man to know" Sehun tells Baekhyun but is looking at Chanyeol. Chanyeol feels bad for being rude to Sehun so he looks to Baekhyun and nods letting him know that he'll be okay speaking to Sehun. Baekhyun pouts but nonetheless gets up to leave the room. After the two were finally alone Sehun prepared himself to beg to win this boy back. Chanyeol looked at Sehun with desperation with a hint of sadness. Sehun's heart strings felt like they were being pulled one by one. "Let me hear what's on your mind" Chanyeol speaks. "I really need to let you hear from me in person that I am sorry, I never meant to hurt you. From the time we weren't speaking, I had a lot of time to think about what you meant to me. Chanyeol I really like you. I understand if you don't want me like that anymore but, I just need you to know that I regret ever leading you on and confusing you. If you ever feel like you want to continue what we started I would love to. Please tell me what's going through you head" Sehun explains and pleads. Chanyeol takes in a big breath, "Well, I, I, Sehun... I really... god fuck me. Why did you wait for so long? I really fucked up. This is the worst time you could've said this to me. I just, I just started something with Baekhyun. I don't know what to do. I really want to be with you. And I am still upset over how you just forgot to tell me your true intentions before sleeping with me but, I feel like you really mean it when you say you want to be with me" Chanyeol was speaking as fast as light, feeling overwhelmed from having to chose between two people. Baekhyun had been listening from the door frame and could feel his heart breaking as he stood there, he eventually had to sit against the door to avoid collapsing. "Chanyeol, I'm sorry I didn't do this sooner. I keep adding stress to your life. I don't mean to hurt you, I really just wish I could make you smile. Maybe I'm not the one who is meant to do that for you. Baekhyun seems amazing. I see the way he looks at you, I saw it even when you fist came into the bar. You already have someone that will work to the edge of the world for you. I don't want to come between that. I am so sorry" Sehun could feel his tears fall down his cheeks but kept his composure, he leans over and makes eye contact with Baekhyun, "I'm sorry Baekhyun. He's all yours. Let me get out of you guys' lives. I don't want to cause anymore pain" Baekhyun just looks at Sehun and gives a weak smile, Sehun does the same. Chanyeol had tears in his eyes now too, he felt like he was being passed around and didn't have a say in who he got to love. Chanyeol stands up. "No" Sehun looks up at Chanyeol with a tear stained face. "No?" Sehun asks. "No, you don't get to chose who I love more. Sehun, I want to be with you. My heart has hurt for you for weeks. I have been filling that hurt with whoever was around me. Please Sehun don't leave me again. I want to be with you" Chanyeol says with a weak voice and he could feel his heart breaking at the same time, he knew he was hurting his best friend. Sehun was speechless. Sehun kept looking past Chanyeol to look at the boy in the door frame. That boy looked destroyed. Baekhyun gets up and goes into Chanyeol's room. Chanyeol watches the door close and it takes everything in him not to run after him. "What did I just do... What did I just do Sehun" Chanyeol sits back down on the couch and Sehun puts his hand on his shoulder. "You chose with your heart. You aren't doing anything wrong. It'll be hard on him but, you need to put yourself first sometimes" Sehun explains and gives Chanyeol a smile through the pain. Baekhyun opens the door to see the two sitting close and Sehun already holding Chanyeol to make him feel better. Baekhyun knew then that he wasn't welcomed anymore. His time in Chanyeol's life was over. Baekhyun had gotten his stuff from the past two days he spent with Chanyeol and started to the front door. Walking by Chanyeol, his heart felt heavy, he could barely keep in his tears. Chanyeol could feel his connection to Baekhyun breaking. "Baekhyun, I'm sorry. Please understand why this happened. Tell me we can still call each other our best friends" Chanyeol says standing up trying to stall Baekhyun from leaving. Baekhyun gave Chanyeol a broken smile. "Yeol, you just did what he did to you to me. Only this time, you did it to someone who had loved you for years. I hope you're happy with yourself. I don't know if I'll be able to stay around much longer. I love you too much. I can only be so strong for so long" Baekhyun explains and opens the front door, Chanyeol was silent. "Goodbye for now Chanyeol. I hope he treats you with respect this time, That's what you deserve" Baekhyun says and the door closes, leaving Chanyeol frozen in his place.
