     To say Chanyeol is horrified is an understatement. He somehow regrets telling Baekhyun that he'll answer everything the latter asks him. Why? Well let's just say Baekhyun's questions were kind of out of ordinary. Chanyeol expected questions along the lines of 'why did you decided to take nursing?' or 'what are you plans in the near future?. You know, he expected something from the norms. But no. All did Baekhyun asked him so far were questions like 'why is your ears big?' or 'how the hell did you grow this tall?' and so far his favorite, 'at what age did all your baby teeth fell out?' Seriously? If Chanyeol doesn't like Baekhyun he'd be insulted to the core of his bones. 

"So why me?"

Chanyeol is caught off guard with Baekhyun's sudden turn of question. He momentarily shifts his eyes from the road to Baekhyun's face and studied it for a split second.

"What do yo—"

"I mean why did you pursue me? I'm simple and boring while you, just by one look people can tell that you're rich and popular. In short were not compatible no matter how many times you flipped the universe up and down." Baekhyun cut him off and blurt the words in one go. "Not to mention you're freaky handsome." Baekhyun added, whispering, but enough for Chanyeol to hear. Chanyeol reaches out and searched for Baekhyun's hand giving it a light squeeze.

"That's exactly why I like you. You're different Baek. Don't want to brag but girls, and maybe some boys, crawls just to get my number." Baekhyun scoffs in disbelief. "But you... you snapped at me the first time we met. And that is saying something." Baekhyun sighs and looked at Chanyeol before giving the tall guy a faint smile.

"I just can't believe that someone could actually take interest on me."

"You're perfect Baek. Just the way you are. You're loveable and if people can't see that. I feel sorry for them."

"Cheesy as ever." Chanyeol's car echoed with Baekhyun's laughter and the tall guy joined in afterwards. "But thank you."

"You're welcome princess."

"Stop with it the names okay?" Baekhyun huffs and lifts one eyebrow, eyeing Chanyeol. "And will you look back at the road. I don't want to die yet." Chanyeol shakes his head in amusement but complies at Baekhyun's request (more like order).

He felt himself falling deeper and deeper to the bartender the more he spends time with him. Life couldn't be any better. Chanyeol wishes they can stay like this forever and that nothing will goes wrong between the two of them.

"So tell me about your brother Chanyeol..."

Jongin tried. He tried putting up a face, a smile in front of Kyungsoo but everything hurts. He asked himself why the hell did he fell in love with the guy with the round eyes and heart shaped lips. Why couldn't it be someone else?

It all started with a simple greeting from an eight year old Kyungsoo that Jongin found himself being drawn to the older's cheery personality. It wasn't until he hit puberty that he understood the concept of love and when he did he knew he was in love with Kyungsoo. Many times he tried confessing his feelings to Kyungsoo but his coward self easily overpowers him. Always. He's afraid that Kyungsoo might not reciprocate his feelings. Or worse, the older might distance himself from him. And he never wanted that. But that's exactly what's happening now. Although this time, he's the one doing it.

For the past three years he tried to forget Kyungsoo when the latter went to Canada. He thought he did, when he started highschool and began dating some of his classmates. He thought he did. But heck, it only took one look of Kyungsoo for Jongin to bring back all the feelings he buried at deepest corner of his mind.

Yes, he's just merely 18 now but isn't love ageless? Isn't everyone entitled to love and to be loved? We can never teach our hearts on who to love because when you feel it, it'll stay.

Jongin couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. Of course he's not fine. He actually feels like from inside and out.

Jongin isn't really feeling good about this. Not a bit.

Isn't life so ing wonderful?

It took a full minute before Jongin's fingers started moving again. The decision is literally on his hands now. It's either he turn down Kyungsoo's offer and distance himself from the older for a while or agree and meet his love's boyfriend. He stared at his phone screen for a moment before pressing send. The screen read 'okay'. Jongin sighs. He'll get hurt either way.

"Kyungsoo-hyung don't forget about me okay? Even if you enjoy Canada never, I repeat, never replace me! Are we clear?"

"Ofcourse! My Jongin will never be replaced! EVER!

Jongin tried. But trying isn't enough.

"Well my brother Suho as you know is a registered nurse but he mostly focuses on running our family's second company no. He likes being a nurse and serving patients but he can't deny that he got the brains in running business. Lately he's been in and out of the country so we rarely see each other but it's fine because he always gets me souvenirs."

Baekhyun couldn't help but admire how his suitor describes his older brother. He's jealous because his own brother and him were quite close too before the former abandoned him. But even though that's the case, he still loves his brother and wished that wherever he is, he's doing well. Of course there's a part of him that's angry but family is family.

"Your brother seems likes a nice guy." Baekhyun comments.

"He is. That's why I wanted you to meet him." The tall guy smiles. "But you know he's short. That's the downside of being his brother. People think I'm the oldest." Chanyeol blurts out as an after thought.

"Hey! I'm short too!" Baekhyun clucks his tongue in protest.

"But you're not my brother so that's a different case."

"I sometimes think some screws are really missing from that head of yours. Your logics are all twisted."

"But you like me either way right?" Chanyeol scrunches his eyebrows. "Right? Right? Right?"

"Arghhhh... I'm so done with you." Baekhyun hit his head on his window side while Chanyeol just laughs at him.

It's nearly 2 in the morning and roads of Seoul were not sporting a lot of cars anymore making the drive to Baekhyun's place cut short. Half of Baekhyun's mind is thankful that he'll be able to have a longer sleep but the other half is quite sad because he'll be parting ways with his suitor. As he unbuckles his seat, he unconsciously blurted something that made Chanyeol look at him incredulously.

"Uhmmm Baek. Did you realize what you just said?"

"What?" Baekhyun asked in pure confusion.

"You just asked me if I would like to stay for the night." Baekhyun gasps in horror. He did think that but there's no way he could've put it in words, less alone asked Chanyeol directly.

"Y-you're just imagining things Yeol. Haha." He stutters.

"I definitely heard it. And my answer is yes." Chanyeol quickly jumps off out of his car and made a run on Baekhyun's side, opening it for him. Baekhyun got off and Chanyeol quickly locked the car.

"Chanyeol you define—" Baekhyun isn't able to finish his sentence for the idiot already snatched his bag and is now running towards his apartment building's entrance. He inwardly groans when he iss left with no choice but let Chanyeol stay for the night. But...

"Hey! My balloons and flowers are still inside your car. Give me your car key!!!!"
