Chapter 12

Seconds To Breathe

12 weeks past since the Music Festival. Baekhyun and Chanyeol got to know more about each other. It was finally winter break.

"It's cold, Chanyeol."

Chanyeol looked over at his shivering roommate. The heater was already and the air-conditioner turned off. He stood up and went over to the other. He looked at Baekhyun from top to bottom and ignore Baekhyun's questioning stare. He then put his hand on Baekhyun's forehead.

"What are you doing?" Baekhyun asked.

"To see if you're sick," Chanyeol said.

"It's winter for god sake! Of course I am cold!" Baekhyun said.

"Do you need an extra jacket?" 

"Yeah, thanks," Baekhyun sniffed.

Chanyeol went to their shared bedroom and searched through Baekhyun's closet. There wasn't any more jacket left. 

"Baek! You don't have anymore!" Chanyeol yelled.

"Can I borrow yours then?" Baekhyun yelled back.

"Yeah, sure!" Chanyeol took his and went back to Baekhyun. 

Baekhyun hurriedly put on the jacket but was still shivering.

"You should really strengthen your body a bit. You probably do not have enough fats to keep you warm," Chanyeol said.

"Is that supposed to be a joke?" Baekhyun asked.

"I don't know. It just makes sense, don't it?" Chanyeol smiled cheekily.

Baekhyun frowned and hit Chanyeol lightly.

"Don't be angry, Baek. Wanna go over to Yixing hyung and Joonmyun hyung's dorm?" Chanyeol asked.

"Yixing hyung and Joonmyun hyung?" Baekhyun asked.

"Don't you know? Joonmyun hyung has requested to change roommate and it turns out that his new roommate was Yixing hyung. They live downstairs," Chanyeol said.

"Does Joonmyun hyung still like Yixing hyung?" Baekhyun asked.

"Probably. Wouldn't he be happy right now?" Chanyeol said.

"Let's go visit them then," Baekhyun stood up slowly. 

-

It wasn't a long time to get there. It took only a minute. Joonmyun was the one who opened the door.

"Oh hey! It's the BaekYeol couple!" Joonmyun smiled.

Both Baekhyun and Chanyeol looked at each other and blushed.

"Yah, look at you both. So cute!" Joonmyun laughed.

"You're acting like Jongdae, hyung," Chanyeol said.

"So why are you two here?" Joonmyun asked.

"To visit you! Heard you moved in with Yixing hyung!" Chanyeol grinned, "Now who's the real couple?" He nudged him.

"Okay, okay, come in." Joonmyun let them in.

Yixing was at the sofa, staring at the guests.

"Hey hyung!" Chanyeol greeted.

"Baekhyun and Chanyeol!" Yixing smiled and approached them.

"So how's living with our class president?" Chanyeol grabbed Joonmyun's arm.

"It was great. He is very helpful," Yixing said.

"Hear that?" Chanyeol teased.

"What do you guys want to drink?" Joonmyun ignored him.

"Anything hot?" Baekhyun asked.

"Coffee or hot chocolate?" Joonmyun asked.

"Anything. Thanks hyung," Baekhyun said.

"And you, Chanyeol?" Joonmyun asked.

"Same as whatever he wants," Chanyeol said.

"Baekhyun, are you cold?" Yixing asked, noticing that Baekhyun was shivering despite his 3 layers of jacket.

"Yeah..." Baekhyun said.

"Poor Baekhyun," Yixing said and the heater.

"Thanks."

"He is always cold. This is just the second week of winter vacation! How are you going to survive this?" Chanyeol asked.

"Chanyeol, can I talk to Baekhyun for a minute?" Yixing asked Chanyeol.

"Why?" Baekhyun and Chanyeol asked at the same time.

Yixing chuckled before replying, "Just go join Joonmyun hyung in the kitchen, Chanyeol."

"Well..Okay then." Chanyeol left the living room.

"Come with me," Yixing said and pulled Baekhyun's hand along with him.

They went into the bedroom and Yixing sat Baekhyun down on his bed. The bedroom looked bigger than BaekYeol's as SuLay did not decorate it with music stuffs like what Chanyeol had done. 

"So how's everything? Is Chanyeol okay?" Yixing asked him.

"He's great. He cares about me. How about you? How is it living with Joonmyun hyung?" Baekhyun asked.

"Good, I supposed," Yixing said.

"Why 'supposed'?" Baekhyun asked.

"He is a great guy, but he does not undersand what is private space," Yixing motioned to his bed which was filled with many unucorn plush toys.

Baekhyun laughed and went to pick one up.

"He bought all this?"

"No. He only got me the one you are holding. The rest are my own collection. I told him once that I love unicorns when I was young and he took out my collection and wanted to decorate my bed with it. For some reasons, he said."

"I think they are cute."

"Yeah, they are," Yixing smiled.

"I can see that he likes you."

"Likes me? Why? I don't suppose I am his type."

"Why else will he do such a stupid thing."

"It's comfortable being buried in plush toys," Yixing laughed.

"And his bed don't even have anything."

"Right. He gave me his own blanket once when mine got..erm..'broken'."

"He is thoughtful."

"I can see that."

"Why don't you consider him?"

"I don't have a preferance for my partner. He could have been someone I like. But I'm focusing on my studies. I want to be a doctor. No time for relationships."

"Aww, that's sad."

"I'll just accept whatever."

"Come out guys!" Chanyeol shouted.

"Coming!" Yixing said and turned back to Baekhyun, "Let's go."
