For the past few weeks Chanyeol had been calling Baekhyun, asking him how he’s been, if he’s okay, if he’s happy, wondering if Baekhyun misses him too…

It’s been a month since Baekhyuns departure. At first Chanyeol would call Baekhyun every three or four hours, but he knew Baekhyuns living a busy life, and he doesn’t want to bother Baekhyun either, so he only calls every night or once a day.

Baekhyun has only ever received and answer calls from Chanyeol. He was never the one to make the call first. It took a while for Chanyeol to realize that and it did upset him a little. But nothing makes him any less happy than to hear Baekhyuns voice. As long as he knows that his brother is alright, he’ll be fine.

 

“Baekhyunnie, how are you.” Chanyeol says , his voice more melancholy than usual.

“I’m fine Yeol.” Baekhyun answered, “Don’t give me that vibe Yeol. It gives me sad feelings. Cheer up okay?”

“Okay,” Chanyeol tries to higher up his tone; maybe it’ll give it more of a positive vibe. Well he tries, but fails. “It’s hard Baek.”

Chanyeol could hear Baekhyun sighing through the phone, “Chanyeol, I can’t ask anything more from you, but to just be happy. Please, don’t be sad just because of me. Don’t make one person ruin your life.”

“Baek! You didn’t ruin my life!”

Baekhyun laughs, “Haha, Look there you go, an exciting tone! Of course I didn’t ruin your life, I’m too cute.”

“No, you’re too short.” Chanyeol grins.

“Come on Yeol,” Baekhyun whines, “I’m not that short!”

“Yes you are!” Chanyeol laughed.

Baekhyun lets out a fleeting chuckle and whispers, “Pabo…”

“Oh Yeol, I got to go. I have school work to do. See you kay?”

Chanyeol pouts a bit, “Okay, see you Baek.”

 

 

Calls became shorter and shorter as days pass.

When calls became short, conversations became meaningless.

‘how are yous’ was just an excuse to call.

‘I’m fine’ was just to keep the conversation going,

‘How about you?’ was just to be polite.

‘I’m fine too’ was just an answer that leads to the end of the call.

Conversations were kept short, and their sentences were kept the same. They were only repeated.

 

Chanyeol knew that their calls were becoming worthless; he just chose to ignore it. He’s a naïve person, and he’ll keep calling Baekhyun because it makes him happy.

 

“Hello?” Chanyeol said through the phone.

Silence… silence… silence… “Hello…”

“How are you Baek?”

“I’m fine, you?” Baekhyun sounded a bit tired today.

“Good.”

…

…

“How’s Cali?” Chanyeol asks for the first time.

“Great.”

…

…

“I miss you Baek, you don’t seem happy.”

“I’m just tired.” Baekhyun said his voice a bit hoarse. “Chanyeol, don’t ask me to come back.” Baekhyun continues, “No matter how much you and mom asks or try to convince me, I’m not changing my mind. I’m staying.”

Chanyeol just listens, whispering little ‘okay’s’.

“Anyways,” Baekhyun says, “Do you really even miss me Yeol? Do you? I mean… could you even? You never seen me since the beginning, from the start all you did was listen to me speak.” There was a small pause, “Isn’t it the same hearing me speak through the phone Yeol…?”

“It’s not the same.”

“How is it not? You can’t see me there and you can’t see me here. But you could hear me.”

“You don’t get it.”

“I do Yeol, really.”  Baekhyun waits for a reply but Chanyeol has already hung up on him.

It was the first time Chanyeol was the one who ended the call.

 

A week has passed and Chanyeol has yet to receive any calls from Baekhyun. Chanyeol didn’t even bother calling either. He was still angry at Baekhyun, but he misses the little chap.

He was hurt that Baekhyun didn’t even bother calling him to ask if he was okay. So careless.

And to think that they both had grown attached to each other, but Chanyeol started having second thoughts.

 

Doesn’t Baekhyun miss him?

Doesn’t he remember the times they’ve both spent in their home in Korea?

Is Baekhyun trying to forget his past and start anew…?

Was it really that easy for Baekhyun to let of the memories, letting them go as if they were treasure less and meaningless?

And Chanyeol always asks himself, if Baekhyun even loves him.

 

Chanyeol starts thinking, maybe he was trying too hard to earn attention and love from someone who doesn’t even give a single crap about him. He has always been patient with Baekhyun, has always cared for him and somehow ‘watched’ his back- But Baekhyun continues to hurt him. He realizes he’s too naïve, it’s not like he haven’t known that he is, he just never wanted to admit it. But still, he’s tired by getting hurt by someone he does truly love and care about- who wouldn’t be?

And yet he still wants to earn Baekhyuns love.

 

After a normal and tiring day from school, Chanyeol plopped into bed and listens to the recordings he recorded from class. He plays the voice recording on repeat, over and over again, almost to the point of passing out and falling asleep.

But before his eyes can fully shut, his phone startles him awake with a loud ring. Chanyeol flinched at the sudden vibration and grabs his phone to answer the call.

“Sehun…” Chanyeol says in a tiring and sleepy voice.

“Yeol, you sound tired, have you been skipping sleep lately?”

Chanyeols eyes widened at the voice, “Baek…?”

“Hi.” The male greeted, “I’m sorry if I’m bothering you, I could call you later?”’

“No no, I’m doing nothing. Why are you calling?” Chanyeol asks curiously.

“Because I want to-“

“Why even bother…”

“Is it wrong to miss my brother?”

“We’re not even related.”

It became silent. Only the sound of their breathing, and Chanyeol knew that his words were a bit too bitter, he feels guilty but shouldn’t Baek have a taste of what Chanyeol has been feeling lately? It was kind of like payback, like they say ‘what goes around comes around.’

But does Baekhyun deserve it…?                                                                                      

Chanyeol took a deep breath wanting to apologize but it was too late, ‘beeeep.’ Baekhyun have already hung up on him. Chanyeol started to regret what he said and wishes he could take it all back- but it was too late, he can’t go back and undo it.

He threw his phone on the mattress and groaned against his pillow angrily. His phone started ringing again, and he knew it wasn’t from Baekhyun. He had a special ringtone for the chap.

Chanyeol lets out a heavy sigh before answering grabbing his phone and answering the call.

“Hi.” Chanyeol says a bit bothered.

“Oh my god, sorry! My credits ran out!” Baekhyun shouts through the phone.

Still a bit annoyed, Chanyeol, who felt the need to kill Baekhyun at the moment heaved out another sigh, “are you serious?”

“Why are you so angry.”

Chanyeol laughs, “Are you kidding me? You should know.”

“Know what.”

“How much you hurt me.”

“Do I hurt you that much-“

“Yeah,” Chanyeol frowns.

“I’m sorry, forgive me?”

“Do you even know what you’re sorry for?”

“No…” Baekhyun whispers, “Why don’t you tell me then?”

“Why do you even care?”

Suddenly Chanyeol hears a scream, “Baekhyun?”

And then it was silent.

“Baek?...”

“Baek stop playing with me.”

“Baekhyun? Baekhyun!”

“Stop ing with me and reply!”

 

“C-chanyeol… I wasn’t looking… the car-“ coughs, “Y-yeol…”

“Baekhyun!”

“I-it hurts.”

Chanyeol feels his heart beating so fast, he’s so shocked, “Baek! Why weren’t you looking at the road. God dammit.”

…

“Baek…?”

He hears laughing, Baekhyun was laughing.

“Why are you laughing?”

“TROLLED! HAHAHA.” Baekhyun laughs.

“Oh my go—you little-“ Chanyeol palmed his face.

“Little… cutie? Little cutie?”

“Haha. No.” Chanyeol chuckles.

“Aww.” Baekhyun says, faking a hurt tone.

“Baek! You scared the out of me!”

“Haha! I’m sorry- I felt like it.” Baekhyun laughs and then sighs, “Forgive me?”

“Forgiven.”  Chanyeol shrugs, “Never do that again though!”

Baekhyun laughs again, “I was good right? Even my voice acting is on the point!”

“Yes yes, I was worried you know.”

“Of course you were! I’m too cute to not be worried of~”

“Diva. Coughs.”

“Shut up Pabo!”

They both just laughed it off. Baekhyun may hurt him a lot but he never fails to stick a smile back on Chanyeols face.

 

 

“Aww, I have to go Yeol!” Baek says after hours of speaking through the phone, “rest well okay?”

“It’s fine~ Take care Baekhyunnie.”

“Bye~” His brother says before ending the call.

Chanyeol threw his phone next to him and smiles. He couldn’t stop grinning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another day of school ended, Sehun stayed over Chanyeols house for companion.

“Say cheese,” Sehun smiles as he took a video of Chanyeol.

“Cheese!” Chanyeol says holding up a peace sign, “Hm, do you think I’ll be able to see that video one day?” he asked.

Sehun hums and furrows his brows, “Yep.”

Later they started listening and rapping along to their favorite R&B songs, they even recorded it just for the sake of memories. “When we’re 50 we will laugh back at this,” They said.

Mrs Park walks in and sits on to sofa across them, “Looks like you boys are having fun,” She says happily.

“Hi mom!” Chanyeol greeted when he hears his moms voice.

“Hi!” Sehun waves happily.

 “Hi,” Mrs Park chuckles, “Chanyeol you’re really good at rapping.” She says.

“Thanks mom that means a lot!”

“You have such a sharp memory, you learn the lyrics so fast.”

“Yep!” Chanyeol nods, “Now that you mentioned it, being blind does have its advantages.””

“Do you ever wonder what it’s like getting your eyes back Yeol?”

“Yeah, sometimes. But I guess I’ll be fine like this,” Chanyeol smiles.

“What do you think will happen if you do?”

“Uhm… “ Chanyeol thinks, “The light will be so bright,” He laughs.

“I see,” Mrs Park laughs as well, “Well see you two later kay? Have fun!” She says walking to the kitchen.

 

 

 

 

Later that night Mrs Park asked the boys if they wanted to accompany her shopping. Sehun and Chanyeol were more than glad to go with her, so they did. They drove to one of the big malls, the ones with many branded clothing shops, fancy food courts and the Cinema.

“What do you want to do Yeol?” Sehun asked Chanyeol who was clinging onto him. Mrs Park said they could do anything they want and later meet up at the entrance again.

“Hm, anything.” Chanyeol says.

“Let’s watch a movie,” Sehun says teasingly.

“Yah.” Chanyeol gave Sehun a light punch on the shoulder, “That would be funny though. The ticket man’s reaction when he sees a blind person going to the cinema.”

“Oh look it’s your mom! Let’s follow her for a while until we find something good to do.” Sehun says walking to Mrs Park.

“Okay!”

“Hi Mrs Park!” Sehun greeted, “We’ll follow you cause we don’t know what to do,” He pouts.

Mrs Park chuckled and pats his cheek, “Okay, let’s walk around.”

They walked around the mall and looked from outside the windows. They went into some stores to try some clothes on. Mrs Park enjoyed dressing Chanyeol and Sehun up; she even bought some clothes for them because she thought they looked good, but the two boys had other opinions.

“Woah, that’s a nice guitar…” Sehun says when they walked across the music store.

“What does it look like?” Chanyeol asks quietly.

“It’s a classical electric guitar. Its color is navy blue and golden at some parts. The shape is really smooth too.” Sehun says, “I think it suits you a lot.”

“Woah, how much is it?”

Sehun looks down at the price tag, “Oh.” He muttered, “It’s expensive, and that’s coming from a rich person.”

“Damn…” Chanyeol whispers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“The egg tastes really good. Omo.” Sehun whispers at the dining table. They were eating their breakfast.

“You’re so sweet Sehun.” Mrs Park smiles, “Look at you two wearing your new sweater that I bought yesterday.”

“Oh haha.” They both laughed awkwardly, “It’s really nice,” Sehun says, Chanyeol nodding in agreement.

The sweater had tails in the back, Sehun wore a brown bears shirt and Chanyeol had a bunny rabbit.

“And I have a gift for you Chanyeol,” Mrs Par says, “A surprise.”

“What is it mom?”

“It’s a surpise,” She says grinning cheekily.

“Oh wow thanks mom! I’m going to die from curiosity now!”

“Haha nooo! Well I have to take you there.”

 

 

Mrs Park took them someplace, where the surprise was. Once they arrived, Chanyeol could hear Sehun gasping, which made him more curious.

Sehun drags him inside and follows Mrs Park.

“We’re almost there,” She says as she continues to walk.

They walked and walked then Sehun stops Chanyeol when Mrs Park stopped.

“Oh my god.” Sehun gasps again.

“What is it Hun?” Chanyeol asked biting his lips.

“I can’t tell but it’s something beautiful.”

“Hi I’m Mr Jung.” Chanyeol hears a deep voice and a hand grabbing his wrist to shake it gently.

“Hi…?” He replies a bit confused. He could hear Sehun squealing in the back. “I’m Chanyeol…”

“Hello Chanyeol, I’m your surgeon, Congratulations,” Mr Jung smiles, “I’ll do my best to give your sight back.”

“What-“ Chanyeol says surprised and speechless.

“I can’t believe this!” Sehun squealed joyfully and tears up on Chanyeols shirt.

Chanyeol turns around to hug Sehun and then his mom, “Thank you…” He says as tears of joy came flowing down his cheeks. “I love you guys!” He turns back around and smiles, “Thank you Mr Jung!”

Mr Jung nods and smiles back, “Your mother is amazing isn’t she?”

Chanyeol nods, beaming brightly, “Yes she is the best woman I ever known!” He says and hugs his mom again, “Thank you so much mom.”

“You deserve it Yeol!” Sehun says.

They hugged for a while and later Chanyeol was immediately sent to his hospital room, which was booked ready. Mrs Park has already prepared his clothes in the room.

Chanyeol had to change into the blue hospital gown and later he lies in his bed.

“When will the surgery be mom?”

“Two days, we still have to discuss somethings.”

Sehun couldn’t stop squealing, he held Chanyeols hands, “Oh my god! This is awesome!”

“Yeah! And I was expecting the guitar to be honest,” Chanyeol laughed.

“Same! HAHA.”

“This is more beyond my expectations!”

 

Hours later Sehun fell asleep and Chanyeol just remembered something. He has to tell Baekhyun about this. He quickly grabbed his phone and dialed the number.

Beep… beep…

 “Come on…” He whispers impatiently.

“Hello?”

“Baekhyunnie!”

“Yeol you seem excited!”

“Guess what?”

“What?”

“I’m getting my sight back!”

“…” Baekhyun stayed silent for a moment.

“wow.” Chanyeol hears, “I can’t- Wow Congratulations Yeol!” Even Baekhyun started squealing a bit.

“I can’t wait!” Chanyeol says.

“Me too!”

 

 

Mrs Park had already told the school that Chanyeol wouldn’t be present for a while. The next day Mr Jung visited the room to discuss things and to listen to some of Chanyeols questions.

“Agnosia might occur after the surgery,” Mr Jung says, “You might have a hard time to process sensory information. Lose the ability to recognize objects and people. Even shapes.”

The side effects sounded horrible to Chanyeol, “Is it really bad? Will I be able to recognize things after?”

“It might lead to Brain injury or neurological illness, if your occipitotemporal  border is damaged.”

“Oh…”

“But I’m sure it won’t happen, we are really gentle. You lost your sight just about 3 or 4 years ago so in your case, you’ll only have little side effects like inability to recognize objects and so.” Mr Jung smiles.

Chanyeol was still a bit worried but he trusts Mr Jung.

 

As Mrs Park went out to buy some food for them, Sehun and Chanyeol talked about the stuff they should do after Chanyeol is fully recovered.

Again Chanyeols phone rang, it was Baekhyun. He immediately picked up,

“Yeol!”

“Baek!”

“Guess what?”

“What?”

“I’m going to Korea!”

“Seriously?! When?!”

“By the time you get your eyes back hopefully!”

Chanyeol was so excited he could hardly express what he feels. “Thank you Baek!” he says, his heart pondering with so much happiness.

“Amazing news right!”

 

 

7 hours later

Ring.. ring.. ring..

“Baek?”

“Yeol… I might not make it.”

“What?”

“Might!... I’m sorry…”

Chanyeol sighs, “It’s okay…”

“I’ll try to make it there okay?”

“Okay…”

 

 

 

The day of Chanyeols surgery, Sehun calls all his friends to announce the news. They all went to visit Chanyeol at the hospital.

“Are you okay Yeol? Sehun asked, noticing his friend has been quiet the whole time. The surgery was in ten minutes.

“I’m fine, did Baek say he’s coming?” Chanyeol asked,

“He told me that he’ll come before you take off your bandages.” Sehun says.

“Really?”

“Yep! Don’t worry. Okay?”

“Okay okay.” Chanyeol says exhaling.

“You have our prayers!” Jongin says from the bacl.

“Thank you guys!” Chanyeol grins as the nurses pushed his wheelchair out to go to the operation room. “here I go!”

“Chanyeol fighting!” All his friends cheered.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The surgery was a success.

 

Chanyeol had to wear his bandages for two weeks maximum. Everyday a friend would visit him, mostly Sehun would.

“Baek are you coming?” Chanyeol asked Baekhyun at the ninth day. There was five more days left till his bandages are gone.

“Not yet.”

“But you’ll be here when I take off my bandages right?”

“Yes! Of course. Don’t worry yeol okay?”

“Okay…”

 

 

 

 

The day before Chanyeol had to take his bandages off, Sehun gave another visit.

“What’s wrong ?” Sehun asks.

“Why am I not excited. I’m getting my vision back tomorrow…”

“It’s Baek isn’t it?”

Chanyeol just sighs, making Sehun frown.

 

 

 

 

It’s your big day Yeol!” Mrs Park says opening the hospital curtain.

Sehun claps his hands together, “Almost! Almost!  Just two hours left, I’ll call everyone!” He cheers and takes out his phone to text all his friends about it.

 

Chanyeol calls Baekhyun. “ Baek are you here yet!” Baekhyun called an hour earlier saying he arrived in Korea. Chanyeol believes he could make it.

“Yes! I’m on my way! It’s traffic Jam!” he hears Baekhyun shout and horns in the background.

Their call got disconnected because Baekhyuns connection wasn’t stable. Chanyeol kept trying to Call Baek but it seems like Baekhyuns signal was lost.

Chanyeol cusses. “One hour left.”

 

 

Everyone crowded around Chanyeols hospital bed.

Chanyeol sat up while Mr Jung slowly takes his bandage off, layer by layer. Sehun was taking a video and others were taking pictures of Chanyeols big moment.

The tall boy breathes, he could feel the layers getting lighter and lighter, the sunray slowly revealing through the layers as they got thinner and thinner. He closed his eyes and prays.

…

“You could open your eyes now.”

Chanyeol opens his eyes slowly; the first thing he saw was his hands. Everything was blurry. When he looked up and looked around, all his friends’ figures were blurred.

“Can you see me!” Chen asked.

“Chanyeol shakes his head and squints, “A little.”

“He needs a little time, his vision is still blurry.” Mr Jung says leaving the room for another appointment.

 

Chanyeol naps for an hour or so.

“hmm…” he groans as he rubs his eyes.

“He’s awake!” Sehun announced and everyone gathered around him again.

 

“S-sehun?” Chanyeol says covering his eyes from the light.

“Yes!”

Chanyeol squealed, “Oh my god it’s you!!!”

Mrs Park hugs Chanyeol, “mom?” Chanyeol voiced.

“Tell me I’m young honey.” She joked and hugged him.

Chanyeol laughs, “You’re young and beautiful of course.” He says hugging her back.

 

“It’s me Jongin!” A tall tan male says waving at him.

“Jongin you look the same but more handsome!”

Everyone introduced theirselves, and Chanyeol was just as excited as they were.

“Kyungsoo here! It’s finally nice to meet you- or let you see me.” He laughs. Chanyeol observes him, heart lips and big eyes.

“I’m Yixing, you could call me Lay!”

“your Joonmyun hyung here!” Suho says ruffling Chanyeols hair.

 

“It’s me Luhan!”

“yah! Jongdae stop trolling!” Luhan says giving a light punch on Chens shoulder, making Chanyeol laugh. “I’m Luhan!”

“And I’m Chen.” He laughs and nudges Luhan.

“I’m Baozi! Xiumin!”

“Galazy Kris here, I’m handsome right?”

“I’m Tao! I’m handsome right?”

“Tao stop copying me.” Kris says.

Chanyeol laughs when he sees Tao glaring at Kris, then he smiles at everyone. He looks around for Baekhyun, but he wasn’t there.

 

They all took selfies and played around in the hospital room. Sehun even showed Chanyeol the videos they made. After a long day, everyone went home to continue with their busy life.

Sehun stayed over but fell asleep.

“I look so different mom, the last time I checked I had Caramel wavy long hair! Why do I look so weird nowww….” Chanyeol laughed.

“You look handsome to me.” Mrs Park chuckles.

Chanyeol sighs smiling. “So Baekhyuns dad planned this?”

“Yep.” Mrs park nodded and smiles,

“Tell him I said thank you and I love him.”

“Of course I will!” She says, “I have to go now Yeollie, I have an important meeting.” She says picking up her purse and blowing him a kiss before walking out.

“Bye!” Chanyeol waves.

Chanyeol sighs and looks next to him where he sees a framed picture on the table. It was a picture of him and Baekhyun, the one they took together. It was a bit blurry because some water spilled on it. He couldn’t see Baekhyuns face, but he could tell that he had a very nice smile. He frowned and lays back down to take another nap.

 

 

Waking up from a short slumber, Chanyeol checked the time and it’s only been an hour since he slept. He looked over at Sehun who was still snoring at the sofa. Chanyeol laughs and grabs his phone to take a picture of Sehun before suddenly feeling the need to use the bathroom.

He sits up slowly and lets his feet fall onto the ground.

He stands up and walks, a bit unbalanced from the recovery and still dazed from sleep. He would ask Sehun for help but he didn’t want to bother, since Sehun looked like a small baby in his sleep.

So he challenges himself.

Just like the old days, he used the walls for support, except this time he could see where he's going and it felt peculiar.

He pushed the bathroom door open once he reaches it, surprised when he averts his gaze forward to see someone there infront of him, back facing him. 

“O-oh sorry-“, Chanyeol says to the person standing in front of him. “I didn’t know the bathroom was occupied.”

It didn't take a second before the guy turns around, head tilted at Chanyeol with the sweetest and most genuine smile plastered on his face.

This guy had a beautiful smile.

“Hi. Chanyeol here. Nice to meet you.” He says holding his hands out for a handshake.

The guy smiles wider, gladly taking Chanyeols hands, shaking it lightly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Hi, I’m Baekhyun.”
