Baekhyun went to Chanyeol’s house instead of his house after his day with Tao.  When he rang the doorbell Chanyeol’s father opened the door.

“Hi, Mr. Park. Is Chanyeol home?”

“Yea, he’s in his room. You can just go in; I don’t think he’s doing anything.”

“Okay, thank you.”

                As Baekhyun walked down the corridor to Chanyeol’s room his heart started to beat an incredible pace. It felt like it was about to jump out of his chest. He stopped a couple of feet away from Chanyeol’s door. He didn’t know what to say to Chanyeol, or even the reason why he had come to his house. He knew that he had feelings for Chanyeol and wanted to tell him. But  he was too scared that Chanyeol would reject him and even stop being his friend. He knew that Chanyeol liked guys, that wasn’t the problem; the problem was that Baekhyun was the exact opposite of Chanyeol’s ideal guy.  Chanyeol had always told him that he wanted someone that was taller than he was and he also had to be masculine. He also liked older guys. Baekhyun was none of that.  He was a lot shorter than Chanyeol and he wasn’t all that masculine, he wore makeup most of the time so that was far from masculine. He was older than Chanyeol but only by some months and that didn’t really count. 

                When Baekhyun started to go towards Chanyeol’s room again the door opened and Chanyeol walked out. He closed the door behind him and then when he turned around that’s when he saw Baekhyun standing in the hallway.

“Hey, what’s up?”

“Not much. I just stopped by since I was nearby.”

“Were you really? Or did you need to tell me something? Or borrow something?”

“No, I just stopped by.”

“Alright. So what did you do today?”

“I was with Tao all day.”

“And you two didn’t invite me? That’s so mean. I honestly don’t know why I’m friends with you when you two always exclude me out of everything.”

“You love us too much to leave our trio.”

“But, only until I find a boyfriend. I’ll spend every day with him and I won’t even tell you two about him. He’s going to be perfect.”

                Baekhyun smiles at Chanyeol s his words cut him. He said he was going to leave since he only had gone to say hello. Chanyeol though didn’t miss the look in Baekhyun’s eyes. He looked upset about something.  When Baekhyun turned to leave Chanyeol grabbed him to pull him back so he’d ask what was wrong but Baekhyun just pushed his arm away. Baekhyun turned to Chanyeol and smiled again, this time when he turned around he left as fast as he could. He stopped to say goodbye to Chanyeol’s father that was in the kitchen. He put his shoes on and left.

“Chanyeol.”

“Yea dad?”

“What did you do to Baekhyun?”

“Nothing, why?”

“He left, with tears in his eyes.”

“I noticed.”

“What did you talk about that made him so upset?”

“Nothing.  I asked him about his day. Then he told me that he spent it with Tao. Then I joked about not telling them about my boyfriend when I get one since they always leave me out of things.”

“Did you ever think that he could take that seriously?”

“No, he knows I’m just joking.”

“Does he really, or is it just you that knows? Some people don’t get it when you’re joking around Chanyeol. Sometimes I can’t even figure it out if you’re joking.”

                Chanyeol leaned against the counter and thought about it. Some people did find it hard to figure out if he was joking or not. But Baekhyun always knew when he was joking.  They were best friends, they knew everything about each other.  He took out his phone and decided to call Tao to see if he knew what was wrong with Baekhyun but he didn’t pick up. He then decided to call Baekhyun himself. He picked up on the third ring.

“Hello”

“Baekhyun, where are you?”

“Why? Are you going to feel bad about being left out again?”

“What? No, I just need to talk to you.”

“I don’t want to talk to you. Why don’t you save it for when you get a boyfriend. I bet he’ll love it when you talk to him about all your things. It’s not like you’ include me in it.”

“Baekhyun, just tell me where you are.”

“No. I don’t want to talk to you.’’

“Please Baekhyunnie. I need to know what’s going on with you right now. You’re so unlike you. I want my old Baekhyunnie back.”

“You can’t have him back.”

“And why’s that?”

“Because the old Baekhyun wasn’t in love with you and the new one is. I can’t go back to the old Baekhyun, not when I feel like this.”

                Chanyeol could hear that Baekhyun’s voice kept breaking every couple of words. He could also hear Baekhyun’s silent cries over the phone. He felt a hit in the back of the head and he turned around. His father had signaled him to go and find Baekhyun. Chanyeol grabbed a jacket and put on his shoes and ran out of the apartment

“Baekhyun, I’m gonna need for you to tell me where you are. Please.”

“Two blocks away from your house, near the convenience store.”

“Okay, just wait five minutes, I’ll be right there.”

“Why?”

“Because, I have to get something from you.”

“What it is? I’ll just leave it hear and you can get it.”

“You can’t just leave it anywhere.”

“Why?”

                Chanyeol was getting near the convenience store and saw Baekhyun’s back. He hung up the phone and saw Baekhyun’s face become disappointed. He slowly walked up to him and turned him around.

“What do you need so bad that I couldn’t just left it anywhere?”

                Chanyeol didn’t say anything. He just took a hold of Baekhyun’s face in his palms and leaned down to kiss him. Baekhyun was surprised at first so he just stood there but when he got his senses back he pushed Chanyeol back. Chanyeol was puzzled.

“Don’t.”

“But,-“

“No. this isn’t some joke. Don’t play with my feelings I’ve had to deal with them for long enough, so don’t play around with them. “

“Who said I was playing.”

“You did. You would never like someone like me. I’m the opposite of what you like. I’m short, I’m far from masculine, I wear makeup, and I’m not that much older than you. I’m nothing that you want. So please, just leave me alone. I’ll be back to my old self at some point.”

“I don’t want you to be. What if I did love you back? Did you ever think about that?”

“Yea, that’s why I never told you about my feelings. I thought I was just a stupid crush like always, but the feelings stayed and they grew.  I was afraid I’d get tired of you so I didn’t want to hurt you. You’re the same way.  You’re feelings fade and then you leave. I didn’t want you to leave me. Not when my feelings have escalated to thing.”

“Hyunnie,-“

“It’s fine. Just forget about it. I’ll be fine.”

                Baekhyun didn’t let Chanyeol talk before he turned around and began to walk away. This time Chanyeol went after him. When he finally got a hold of Baekhyun and spun him around he crushed their lips together. The kiss wasn’t like the first one. It was rough and needy.  Chanyeol held Baekhyun in place as he struggled to get out of Chanyeol’s grip.  Soon enough Baekhyun stopped struggling and just gave in. He began to kiss Chanyeol back. When he did, the kiss turned soft. It was a much more loving kind of kiss. Baekhyun wrapped his arms around Chanyeol’s neck, while Chanyeol wrapped his arms around Baekhyun’s waist. They stayed in the street kissing till they had to break apart for air. Baekhyun had his eyes closed wanting the moment to last longer. When he felt that Chanyeol wasn’t planning on letting him go he opened his eyes. He looked up to meet gazes with Chanyeol. Chanyeol had that big toothy grin on his face that he always had when he was happiest.

“I love you, Baekhyun. I’m not just saying this because I don’t want to hurt you. I really do love you. I have for a while. I always said that my ideal was the opposite of you so you wouldn’t figure it out.  But I really do love you.”
                Baekhyun couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Park Chanyeol, the man he liked, no loved, loved him back. He was incredibly happy. He didn’t say anything back. He just brought Chanyeol down for another kiss. He felt Chanyeol smile into the kiss as he did the same.

                When they pulled apart they both opened their eyes and smiled at each other.

“I love you, Baekhyunnie.”

“I love you too Channie.”

“Will you be my boyfriend?”

“No.”

“What? Why?”

“Because you said you wouldn’t tell me or Tao about your boyfriend. I want him to know.”

“Then I’ll tell the world about us.”

“Then I have no objections.”

“Good. You want me to take you home or do you want to spend the night. My dad wouldn’t mind.”

“Are you sure I can spend the night? What about clothes?”

“You can borrow mine, like always.”

“Okay.”
