Right Beside You

I Couldn't Stay Away

The quiet, peaceful atpmosphere scares Kyungsoo. Normally, when he walks into the building, he would hear pleads and apologies from an employee who had just gotten fired. But today was different. Very very different. He enters his office and places his things on his desk, before he takes a seat. He begins to work and is suprised that Jongin hasn't come to annoy him yet. 

 

"Is Jong- I mean Mr. Kim not here yet?" Kyungsoo asked, when he sees an employee come out of Jongin's office. 

 

The employee shakes his head. "No, he's here. But he looks horrible. It looks like he has a fever."

 

"Oh."

 

I never get sick, he remembers Jongin say. When the empoyee says his goodbyes, Kyungsoo can't help but feel horrible. It was his fault that Jongin was sick. He shakes his head and tries to erase his guilty concious with work. However, all his efforts fail. Because now all he could think about was Jongin. When Kyungsoo gets up from his chair, he turns the knob of Jongin's office and takes a peak. He sees Jongin working diligently with a box of Kleenex next to his desk, looking pale. Too pale.

Baekhyun taps his foot, nerviously as he waits for the doctor to come into the room for his first pregnancy check-up. Chanyeol notices his boyfriend's nervousness and puts his hand on top of Baekhyun as a way to comfort the latter. "You'll be fine."

 

"Easy for you to say." Baekhyun pouts. "You're not pregnant one-"

 

Before Chanyeol could reply, the door opens and the doctor suddenly emergers into the room, holding a clipboard and a pen. He smiles and greets them. "Hello. You must be Baekhyun."

 

Baekhyun nodds

 

Baekhyun watches as the doctor takes a seat and grab files from his shelf. "Since this is your first check up, all we're going to talk about is your estimated due date and your results from your examination tests we ran a couple of minutes ago. It looks like your very healthy but are there any symptoms your feeling?"

 

"Lately, I've been having a lot of headaches and trouble sleeping."

 

"It sounds like you have insomia. Insomia can be caused by stress. Stress can also be the reason for you headaches. It's not healthy for you to have to much stress during your pregnancy because it may affect your newborn later on. I suggest working less hours, for you to have time to rest and relax."

 

Chanyeol nodds. "The doctor's right Baek."

 

"Anyways, I also want to talk about your due date. It may change but for right now it seems like your due date will be on either late August or early September."

"Jongin." Kyungsoo says, as knocks on his door for the millionth time. He lets out a sigh. "Jongin open the door-"

 

When the door opens, Kyungsoo is greeted by a grumpy, sick Jongin glaring at him. "If your here to talk about my schedule. Cancel all of my appointments and meetings today. Tell them I'm busy-"

 

"Here." Kyungsoo says, handing Jongin a plastic bag. Jongin hesistantly takes the bag but before he could ask what it was, Kyungsoo explained. "It's a cup of tea and soup. I haven't seen you come out of your office for today, so i'm guessing that you havent had a chance to eat a proper meal. So eat this. It'll make you feel better."

 

"I'll eat this after I finish my work." Jongin smiles and Kyungsoo nodds. "You should get back to work unless you want to stay extra hours with me tonight. Thank you for worrying about me."

 

"Okay." Kyungsoo replies back.

"Is there anything wrong?" Chaneyol asked, worriedly. Since they came back from the hospital, Baekhyun seemed different. "You haven't spoken a word since we came here. Are you not hungry?"

 

Baekhyun smiled slightly and took a bite of his sandwich. "No."

 

Chanyeol pouted. He knows somethings wrong and doesnst understand why Baekhyun's beeing secretive and quiet instead of being straight forward with him. "If there's something bothering you. You know you can tell me right?"

 

Baekhyun nodds. "It's just that, everything's going by so fast. It's already our first check-up. Then the next thing you know, it's already going to be the last check up in a couple of months. What if i'm not ready, Chanyeol?"

 

Chanyeol raises an eyebrow. Was Baekhyun having second thoughts about having the baby? "What do you mean?"

 

Baekhyun sighs. "I don't know, I'm just really scaried. And I don't even know what to do right now."

 

"You can't be having second thoughts about this Baek. I know you're scaried, but i'm here. I'll help you get through it." Chanyeol reasssured. "I'll be with you every step of the way. I promise."

 

Baekhyun smiled. "Your right. I shouldn't be over thinking this. Thank you."

 

"Move in with me." Chanyeol blurts out and Baekhyun also spits out his water. "It's bound to happen someday. I mean you are pregnant with my child. And if your always by yourself at home, who's going to pretect you when you get hurt or when your sick? No one. So move in with me."

 

"Chanyeol-"

 

"I know this is happening really fast but I'm really sincere about my feelings for you Baek. And I just want to know that your okay but if you feel like this is happening too fast, i'll wait-"

 

"Okay."

 

"Okay?" Chanyeol repeats. "Okay as in okay, i'll move in with you okay?"

 

Baekhyun smiles.

Sehun stands on Luhan's door, with a motive to apologize for everything that had happened. They havent spoken for over a week and Sehun couldn't stand it anymore. He wanted to hug Luhan and apologize to him over and over again, until the latter would finally agree to start over with him. He rings the doorbell and is suprised not to get an answer within seconds. He rings it again but still no answer.

 

"Luhan, it's me-"

 

When the door finally opens, Sehun furrows his eyebrows, in confusion when he sees an elder inside Luhan's apartment. The latter stares back at him and smiles. "You must be the plummer."

 

Sehun shakes his head. "No I'm not. I'm actually here to see my boyfriend-"

 

"The young man who moved out 3 days ago?" The lady asked, leaving Sehun in a daze. Luhan moved out? Luhan never mentioned anything about moving out of the apartment to Sehun before. And Luhan wasn't the type to just move somewhere so quickly. Unless Luhan thought about this before and never mentioned it to Sehun. 

 

"Do you know where he moved to?" Sehun asked, hopeful for an answer. 

 

The lady shook her head. "I'm sorry, but I don't."

 

When they both say their goodbyes, the lady shuts the door and Sehun stands in front of it, confusidely. He couldn't believe that Luhan just left without saying a word. Sure, he was wrong but Luhan didnt even give Sehun a chance to explain himself. He was devastated and angry. 

 

This wasn't how everything was supposed to be.

As Kyungsoo gathers the rest of his belongings to leave, he remembers that Jongin still hasn't come out of his office. The last time he talked and even saw Jongin was when Kyungsoo gave him food to eat and a cup of tea to make him feel better. Kyungsoo sighs. He never knew that work could be so boring. When he was with Jongin, all he would do was follow Jongin's ridiculous orders all day. It was annoying, but at least Kyungsoo had something to do. And despite the fact that the two fought most of the time, they occasionally exchanged a couple of laughs after and enjoyed each other's company. In all honesty, Kyungsoo actually missed Jongin's annoying habits. 

 

"Jongin." Kyungsoo knocks but when he doesn't receive a reply, Kyungsoo turns the doorknob and gently steps inside Jongin's office. 

 

When he approaches Jongin's desk, he sees Jongin sleeping on top of his desk. Kyungsoo lets out a chuckle when he gets closer and sees Jongin drooling on a document. Kyungsoo then leans in and examines, Jongin's sleeping face. And he had to admit, Jongin was actually pretty handsome. Kyungsoo never really noticed Jongin's exotic features until  now. He never really noticed how sharp Jongin's jaw was or how pointy his nose was. Kyungsoo traces Jongin's face with his fingers and doesn't even notice that his lips begin to curve into a smile, when his fingers come in contact with Jongin's soft skin. 

 

If only Jongin wasn't such an , then maybe Kyungsoo would've fallen for him. Just maybe.
