hush • baekhyun x chanyeol
Chanyeol lay awake in bed. He had been awake for a while, just trying to process the events of the last two days. He needed to take Baekhyun with him to Dr Yoo. He pictured that conversation. "Hey Baekhyun. I know we just met. But I have this 'one in 6 billion' condition where my heart doesn't beat. Well it didn't before. But when you're around it does and I need to find out why. So could you come to my Dr with me and try to find out?"
He rolled over and groaned and hid his face under the pillow. At least it was Saturday and he had two days free to mull over his situation. He had to be sure. He had to meet Baekhyun somewhere besides the café.
Chanyeol was happy to wake up alone. Tiffany usually went home to her own apartment when she'd been out with the girls. It was a long expensive taxi ride up the cliff. She had been hinting for months to move in together but something was holding Chanyeol back. He loved her, he really thought he did, or what he considered to be love anyway.

He groaned at his own critical self reflection and went to get some breakfast. It was a warm morning and he enjoyed the sound of the waves lapping gently at the bottom of the cliff. The tide was high. Later when it was lower Chaneyol decided to descend the steps built down the cliff face and lay on the beach. He was glad Tiffany wasn't here. He decided not to call her today. She hated the beach.
He couldn't get over what Baekhyun said to him about selling out. It was clearly a wound within the man. If his girlfriend wanted him to take a job in her Dad's company then he obviously wasn't making much money off his art. And it was obviously a problem for his girlfriend. Chanyeol wondered if he was still struggling to make a living would Tiffany still be with him?
Chanyeol remembered the early days, making songs, spending weeks on them and being paid a pittance, the work and reward so unbalanced. He suddenly felt a pang o
