Chapter 3- Mimosa

 

Baekhyun tried to pull his hands from the palace guards again, but to no avail

 

“You bastard!! Let Chanyeol go!” Baekhyun shouted at Kris who just landed a punch on his beloved’s gut

 

Kris turned to Baekhyun, wearing a smirk and walked towards the petite man, signaling the guards to let him go, and the moment Baekhyun was loose, he ran towards Kris and gives the Duke a punch in the gut

 

After doing so, Baekhyun proceeded to his beloved who were a coughing blood, “Yeollie, are you okay? Please, Yeollie” he started crying, he’d seen the cyanide being prepared, and anytime now, it’ll be pushed down his lover’s throat that would take away his life

 

Kris can’t take the sight anymore and demand for the cyanide to be pushed down the shepherd’s system, he can’t wait for that to happen, he can’t wait to see the shepherd’s lifeless body on the floor, he can’t wait to claim Byun Baekhyun as his

 

Baekhyun watched in horror as a guard started to approach with a white bowl, he grabbed Chanyeol’s face before smiling slightly, and Chanyeol could only shook his head furiously, sensing the idiotic act his lover would do

 

“I’m sorry Chanyeol” Baekhyun said as he grabbed the bowl from the guard and gobble it down in one go making Kris be blind in fury and pull a sword and pierce it on Chanyeol’s side, right on his kidney

 

Baekhyun started coughing, blood starting to ooze from his mouth, breath became raging, coming out on pants, and Chanyeol is in the same agony, hands trying to put pressure on his fatal wound

 

Baekhyun crawl towards his lover, to lay his head on the shepherd’s lap, to try to remember those soft features one last time, those wide eyes, those pearly white teeth that shows whenever Chanyeol smiles

 

Chanyeol smiled down at his lover, sad that their romance is cut short, but nevertheless, happy that the last thing he would see before death finally takes his soul is his beautiful Baekhyun, who never failed to smile every morning at the dawn

 

“We will meet again, right?” Baekhyun ask Chanyeol as he struggles his breathing, the sand on his hour glass slowly diminishing

 

“Of course, in our next life, and when we does, I promise to love you again” Chanyeol said while trying to put pressure in his wound

 

Baekhyun smiled, “I also promise to love you again” he smiled

 

And the lovers took their last breath before closing their eyes, and everything went bliss

 

“No!” Kris runs to the petite boy, hugging his body close to his chest, regretting every bad decision he made, if only he realized that his plan would end up getting his beloved killed, he should’ve just killed the shepherd on the spot and everything would be alright

 

Prince Luhan, Tao, General Yixing, and the palace guards barged in but stopped abruptly once they caught sight of the dead corpse, Luhan let out a huge breath before ordering the guards to take away the Duke from the scene

 

“Baekhyun hyung… Chanyeol hyung…” Tao started walking on the bodies, and collapse in front of Baekhyun’s, “hyung, I’m sorry, I’m sorry I sided on Kris hyung, hyung forgive me please, please wake up, I promise I won’t get mad every time you try a horrible impersonation of me, please hyung” Tao sobbed and move to Chanyeol’s body, holding the elder’s hand near his heart, “hyung, please don’t leave too, I’m sorry I bail you out, please”

 

Yixing couldn’t stand it and pry Tao off the bodies, giving a sad smile and a we still need to bury them

 

After the funeral and burying of the lovers, Luhan was the only one left in front of the tombstones, a smile playing on his lips

 

“Your love ended tragically, but in the next life you will be living, you’ll meet again, and the heavens would make sure you will be reunite and forever be happy”

 

As the Prince left, a mimosa started to grow between the lover’s tombs, it seemed to symbolizes their tragic love

 

 

 

 

 

Baekhyun sniffed and he wiped a tear that escaped his eyes as he ended the story he’s been reading online

 

“That Duke is a malevolent man, can’t he just let the lovers go?” Baekhyun grumbled to no one as he started making himself some food to eat because he skipped lunch just to read the fiction his friends recommended for him to read

 

“You’re just eating Baek?” Joonmyeon, one of his friends and dorm buddies, come to look over at what he’s doing on the kitchen counter

 

“hm-mm, it’s because I got carried away with the story you made me read, I forgot to eat lunch” Baekhyun pouted before turning the bacon upside down

 

“We recommend it for you to read on your FREE TIME, we don’t mention anything about you forgetting to eat” Joonmyeon rolled his eyes before waving, “I gotta go, Yixing and I are gonna go somewhere, but if you need something or you just want to bother someone, just go upstairs and bother Luhan hyung” he winked before going out

 

Baekhyun turned to his cooked bacon and put it in a plate and started eating, the story still lingering on his mind, he doesn’t know why, but he seemed to have attachment to the story plot, like he actually know how the designer had felt, it seemed like he had lived the life

 

As he was eating, his eyes darted towards the mimosa placed on their backyard, now he thinks of it, mimosa supposedly, only grows on warm regions, or on other words, on the tropical countries, and Korea certainly, isn’t tropical, but how they managed to have a living one on their dorm, it’s a mystery

 

Stop over-thinking Byun Baekhyun! It is just a fiction, but then, to think of it, the words that the prince had said, that they would meet again in their next life… it could be true?

 

Baekhyun shrugged before going upstairs, to sleep, and to dream

 

“We will meet again, right?” Baekhyun ask Chanyeol as he struggles his breathing

 

“Of course, in our next life, and when we does, I promise to love you again” Chanyeol said while trying to put pressure in his wound

 

Baekhyun smiled, “I also promise to love you again” he smiled

 

And the lovers took their last breath before closing their eyes, and everything went bliss

 

Baekhyun shot up from his bed before wiping his sweat and looked around his pitch black room then sighed

 

It’s the same dream again, he leaned against the headboard before wandering his eyes again

 

Baekhyun tried to recall everything that’s happen on the dream, his dreams weren’t like this for quiet a while now, his last breakout was when he was 15, and now he’s 20, so it’s quiet unusual, and it always breakout whenever it’s Yule, as he like to call it, or as other people addresses, it’s Christmas

 

I’ll just stop over thinking, this dreams doesn’t even make sense Baekhyun decided before closing his eyes again in an attempt to sleep

 

Yeah, they don’t make sense, even if it feels like a distant memory, there’s no Chanyeol in his life, and there would never be

 

Now he remember, this was why he knows how the designer had felt, because this is exactly how the shepherd and the designer had died, how did he know long before reading, he didn’t know

 

Baekhyun just sighed before lying back again, and sleep finally indulge him

 

 

 

 

 

Chanyeol slumped in front of the cashier as soon as he came, dark circles visible, face sullen and he looked grumpy than he always does

 

“Hmm? Chanyeol, you’re here! Wait, why do you look grumpy?” Kyungsoo, his co-worker ask him, eyes slightly narrow, obvious sign of suspicions to what he’s been doing overnight, in which, he didn’t do anything other than sleep

 

And dream

 

“Bad dream” was only what Chanyeol muttered before banging his head on the counter to wash away the bad elements that is luring him into being frumpy inside and out, and Chanyeol didn’t want that, all he wants to be is happy

 

And Chanyeol started to think about his dreams this past week again, it wasn’t exactly bad, but it’s making him weird, first, he is not gay, but in his dream, he’d actually marry a guy! Don’t misunderstand him, he’s not against homouals or anything, it just that, he’s not that

 

What’s even weirder is that he thinks, he’s falling in love with this Byun Baekhyun guy in his dream

 

“Byun Baekhyun…” the name has accidentally fall from Chanyeol’s lips, which made Kyungsoo look at him

 

“You know Baekhyun?” Kyungsoo ask him with wide eyes, in which Chanyeol quirked his eyebrow, Kyungsoo knows this Baekhyun? This means Kyungsoo is dreaming his same dream?

 

“Yeah, he is the guy from my dreams” Chanyeol answered, his nerves getting onto him

 

“You dream about Baek? That’s strange huh, when have you known him?” Kyungsoo asks, attention is nothing but the man in front of him

 

“How do you mean known? When have I started dreaming about this Baekhyun guy or when have I met him? Because if it’s the latter, I have never seen this guy other than my dream which started last week” Chanyeol shrugged before burying hid head on his arms, to catch a little sleep

 

And suddenly, it clicked on Kyungsoo’s mind, and a sly smile formed on his lips
