I Love You.

Baekhyun couldn't help but blush whenever he recalled Chanyeol saying those three words to him last night. It felt really good. He wanted to cry even because honestly, he never thought someone would actually come and speak those words to him again. Although of course he will never mention to Chanyeol that he actually heard it because damn! That would be downright embarrassing.

He turns his attention to the sleeping giant next to him and asked himself, 'How could someone look so handsome even at his sleep?’ Because he’s sure that he looks terrible when he’s asleep. But Chanyeol… Chanyeol looks so peaceful and contented and Baekhyun couldn't help but to think he could get use to this. Him, waking up next to Chanyeol every morning and making him breakfast then the giant will drive him to his work and –oh wait... Baekhyun gasps. Why is he thinking like they are a married couple? I mean yes they're together now (well not really officially because Chanyeol said labels aren't important) but isn't it too fast to think of those things? He shakes his head furiously, trying to get things off of his head but was startled when he heard a deep voice greets him

"Good morning Baek." Chanyeol said rubbing his eyes like a child which made Baekhyun's heart beat goes a little faster than usual.

"H-how long were you awake?" Baekhyun didn't bother greeting back because he's too concerned if Chanyeol saw him going crazy earlier.

"Long enough to see you shook your head and blush." Chanyeol smirked. "Perhaps your thinking about me? Oh! Maybe you realized how handsome I am and your life will never be the same if I leave. Which I won't, just to make things clear. And you actually enjoy sleeping with me and yo—"

Baekhyun cut off Chanyeol's morning random mumbling by abruptly standing up from their shared mattress. No. Chanyeol can never his flushed face. And he didn't, for the record, enjoy sleeping with the giant. He took out a small breath trying to relax his furiously beating heart before saying something afraid that his voice will give him away.

"As a payment for your stay Mr. Park you need to drive me to work." He tries to sound as authoritive as he can but even he himself, admittedly, isn't convinced. He heard Chanyeol chuckles from the background and it didn't help at all. His face possibly turns redder when the giant let the next words out.

"You're so cute." Chanyeol's laughter filled the small property and it's, without a doubt, music to Baekhyun's ears. "And of course I will drive you to work. Can't let princess wander off alone."

"I told you to stop calling me names. And I'm not a princess!" Baekhyun argues, a pout visibly made way to his lips.

"Well you're my princess so the argument's done." Baekhyun rolled his eyes to other's silliness but lips said otherwise.

"I'll be late if you keep mumbling useless random things here and there. I'm gonna go prepare." And he instinctively made his way to the bathroom but even before he could completely enter Chanyeol spoke once again.

"Wait! Aren't you going to give me a good morning kiss?"

And that my friends, how Chanyeol ended up with a tissue box right on his face.

Chanyeol believes that true love is really rare nowadays. But while he agreed that it is indeed rare, it iss never impossible to find one. And for him he believes he found the one.

Baekhyun.

Who would've thought that he would be fallen this hard? Just a few weeks ago he was being harassed by Jongin to come with them to a club and now look, he's got Baekhyun. He made a mental note to thank Jongin later.

But on the more serious note, he's just thankful. Thankful that Baekhyun opens up and let him in in his world. It wasn't easy to say the least, because duh? It's only Baekhyun that made him literally crawl just to get the older guy's number. It's only Baekhyun that made him realized that not all things in this world can be acquired by Park Chanyeol. But he managed. And he's glad he did. Because who needs all these things the world can offer when he have Baekhyun in his side?

Byun Baekhyun is Park Chanyeol's everything.

True love is hard to find. But when you found it, it will hit you hard straight in the face with a punch. And sometimes on occasions, a tissue box.

"Chanyeol!" Chanyeol turns his attention to the source of the voice and sees Baekhyun standing at bathroom door seemingly fresh from bath. "Oh you like the view. Is it the wet hair or perhaps the—"

"Princess, don't even try. It won't end well." Chanyeol snickers and Baekhyun rolled his eyes.

"Killjoy" Baekhyun crosses his arms placing them on his chest. "Your phone kept ringing. Although you have big ears you can't hear a simple ringtone. You should get your ears check."

"Nice try princess but you need to work a little more if you want me to get me embarrassed with your teasing." Chanyeol jokingly said and Baekhyun just shakes his head.

"Well you know I'm a socially awkward person so you should at least give me props for actually managing to do that." Baekhyun said picking up clothes from the closet. "Anyway I'll really appreciate it if you answer your phone because you know the walls here aren’t that thick. The people next door might be on the second stage of their ＾Murder Byun Baekhyun Plan＾" He added before disappearing in the bathroom once again.

"Like I said nice try Princess!" Chanyeol shouted before chuckling. Damn! He can get used to this. And as for Baekhyun's request he checks his phone and is surprised to see his hyung's name under the missed call notification. Isn't Suho-hyung in Japan right now? Why is he calling with his Korean number? Chanyeol askshimself but of course who would answer him but his hyung so he dialed his hyung's number. It took three rings before Suho finally answered Chanyeol's call.

"Hyung I'm sorry.” He tried to sound sincere. “Really?" Chanyeol's eyes widen in pure surprise. "Yeah yeah. I got it. Yeah. See you later. Oka—wait— hyung..." The giant glanced on the bathroom's direction and smile. "I wanted you to meet someone."

When Baekhyun came out of the bathroom all dressed up and ready for work, he sees Chanyeol stare at him. It's a bit uncomfortable but hey it’s just Chanyeol. But it made him curious so he asked in the most subtle possible way.

"What?" He deadpans. "Is there something wrong with how I look?"

"N-no." Chanyeol shook his head. "It's just that... I... uhmmm."

"You just what?"

"Need to tell you something but not now. Later okay? You'll be late for work."

And that's when Baekhyun realized that indeed he’s running late for work. Thank goodness he got Chanyeol today and he won't be tangled in the hussle of commuting. Although he wanted to know what the giant would want to say, he made it pass."

"Fine."

Four days prior to his supposed flight back to Korea, Suho received an email from one of his trusted investigator. Yes, this is about him. And he prays this time; this will lead to something more than just a false hope. Suho opened the email, 'Byun Baekhyun'. This is it! He silently cried as he finished reading the report. I'm going to see him! Suho couldn't be more happier (and excited) as he barged in Yixing's hotel room making the latter a bit annoyed at him.

"Xing. I need to go to back to Korea now." Suho held Yixing's shoulders and shook it back and forth.

"What did you say?" Yixing scrunched his eyebrows.

"Are you deaf or something?" Suho tsked. "I said, I.Need.To.Go.Back.To.Korea.Now. Got it?"

"Oh-kay." Yixing nods. "Let me clear this okay? You want to go back to Korea now? As in right now?"

"Did you hit your head somewhere? Yixing really? Yes. Now!"

"But it's 2:24 in the morning!" The secretary flopped down on his bed once more. "I don't want to ride a plane now. I'm dead tired."

"Who said about you riding a plane?" Suho's tone is serious but the teasing is there. "Nope. Yixing you're staying here in Japan because there's still some work needs to be done."

"Me... what? That's unfair! I'm just your secretary!" Yixing whines like a kid.

"You're also my bestfriend. Yixing please. Just let me slide this time. I'll do everything you ask me. Just please!" Suho tried to look helpless as possible in Yixing's eyes and fortunately it worked.

"Fine."

As soon as he stepped foot in back in Korea, Suho quickly dialed Chanyeol's number. It's been so long since they talked and quite honestly he misses his giant brother. It's by the third try that Suho got a bit curious to what his brother up to, not even bothering to answer his phone. Maybe he stayed up all night partying with the gang. Again. He is about to put his phone back inside his coat when it rang.

'Finally! You answered.'

'Hyung I'm sorry.'

'It's okay. Anyway I'm back in Korea.'

'Really?'

'Yeah. So let's have dinner later. I also need to tell you something important. Okay?'

'Yeah yeah I got it.'

'Don't come home late. I know you're not in the house right now.'

'Yeah. See you later.'

'I'm hanging up.'

'Oka—wait— hyung...'

'Yes?'

'I wanted you to meet someone'

Suho couldn't help but wonder who is this 'someone' Chanyeol wanted for him to meet. But that wondering is quickly replaced by the thought of the very reason of his coming back in Korea earlier than expected.

Finally.

Like what Baekhyun expected, they arrived at the café just right about in time. He asks Chanyeol if he wanted to get a quick breakfast inside as they weren’t able to grab one back in Baekhyun’s place. Chanyeol refused saying that he’ll be heading home first to freshen up and also told Baekhyun to wait for him when the latter’s shift ended because he will pick him up.

“Why?” Baekhyun asks curiously. “I can go to the club by myself.” Chanyeol just shrugged.

“Just wait for me okay?”

“Fine. But don’t make me wait too long.” Baekhyun said as he freed himself from the seatbelt.

“I won’t. You’re my princess remember?” Chanyeol grins and Baekhyun rolled his eyes. The older guy is about to get off from the car when the giant spoke once again. “Hey where’s my goodbye kiss?”

“You’re lucky there’s no tissue box here.” Baekhyun said trying to look unimpressed as possible because if he let his heart overtake, he won’t hear the end of it from Chanyeol. Nope. He can’t blush. He was to add something when he felt a sudden contact to his cheeks. He turned to Chanyeol in surprise.

“You won’t kiss me so I did.” Chanyeol beams. “Now go. Customers are waiting. Fighting!”

As he enters the café Baekhyun sees Suzy giving him a knowing look (and smile) and instinctively, he knows a day full of headache awaits him.

“Don’t even get it started Suzy.”

Wow. Look who's alive . LOL. Yes! Finally! I was able to update. Jeez. I'm sorry guys. Really really sorry. To be honest I was about to update last last week, the exact day when Kris' lawsuit was reported so you see... I felt really down because although he's not my bias, I still want them 12 to stay together. But anyway life goes on and the only thing we can do right now is support EXO and WuFan. :))

So about the chapter... Hmmm. I guess you could say something is definitely going to happen. And yes KaiSoo will be the main next chap. I couldn't find a way to put them here in this chapter so we need to wait a little longer to know what's happening to them. I'm sorry.

That's it for now. :))) And oh please follow me on Twitter. So far I only have one follower. LOL Hello herlynjoiep xD I also will be doing a giveaway once Taking Chances is finished so stay tuned. :))
