Happiness

Could be a mistake

“What are you doing?”

Sehun smiled when he saw Baekhyun writing on his notebook as he hummed the tunes softly. Since there was no answer, Sehun stretched his arm and slowly embrace Baekhyun as he put his hand over the smaller’s, writing something multiple time, causing the latter to groan.

 “Don’t you think this is better? I think this part seems a bit off”

He continued to write down notes even though their cheeks were almost touching, it was two months after Glay started over again. Oh Sehun swiftly accompany the other two instruments, though the tune was a bit different from what they expected, it left a very good feeling. 

Baekhyun didn’t think that it would be this good, if they didn’t accept Sehun that night, Glay would’ve been forgotten by the people. Sehun could play every single song that Glay had composed and he would always throw in some new chords or do a small adlib which perfectly fits in with the others.

The humming of notes beside Baekhyun’s ear was lower than the first time he heard it. The first time Sehun tried to hum out a song, Kyungsoo was pleading him to stop. (LOL)

“What is this song for?”

Sehun asked, allowing Baekhyun to continue to write down the notes.

“Rock Rising Contest”

“Wahhh.. That popular music contest?”

It seems like the away Sehun speaks is becoming more informal as time passed by. He used to add ‘hyung’ behind, now he only called Baekhyun by his name, it was frustrating, yet Baekhyun couldn’t stay mad at him.  

“I heard that Neighbor is the sponser.”

“....”

“Baekhyun?”

Sehun stood up, pulled his guitar out, and started to connect all the wires of the speakers messily. Baekhyun jumped when the sound of guitar boomed inside the room, hearing that he knew that their ‘neighbor’ would be knocking on their door any second now.

And he was right. Not even half a minute after, there was two knocks on the door, telling them that they were too loud. Baekhyun glared at Sehun but he received a shrug in return. Sehun adjust the volume so that they would not be scolded again.
 

The notebook on the table was snatched out from the main singer’s hand and was placed down in front of the guitarist who is now studying the notes according to rhythm with a guitar on his lap. He looked up and sent a breathtaking smile to Baekhyun whose brows were furrowed.

“I think it’s good”

“We have to let the others see it” Baekhyun answered, voice flat as he watch Sehun his chapped lips. Sehun stood up, putted his guitar down, then walk and sat beside Baekhyun with a small smile plastered on his face.

“They’re going to like it”

“Yah Oh sehun”

Baekhyun turn to face Sehun with a serious face, it was already two months since Sehun came, and Baekhyun would always forget to ask this question.

“Why do I always see you in your school uniform?”

Sehun suddenly looked at everything around him except Baekhyun. “If I tell you, promise me you are not going to scold me”

“If it’s not wrong why would I scold you?”

“You can’t even though it’s right for me and wrong for you.”

Sehun turn to face Baekhyun with his legs up on the sofa as if he was a five year old boy confessing on stealing a cookies or something which was not a really good sign.

“It’s because..”

“Because?”

“I took and passed equivalence test to university two months ago”

“So?”

“I did not go to school.”

“Don’t tell me...” After he finished speaking, his hands went up and hit straight at Sehun’s head. He always thought it was weird that they would always see this boy in his uniform whenever they have practice.

“You lied to your parents that you were going to school and you came to practice? If they knew, what are you going to do?”

Sehun quickly held both of Baekhyun’s hand, not allowing himself to get hit a second time. ‘Aegyo’ that was all he could think of that would made Baekhyun soften.

“Even if I don’t go, I’m going to be able to go to university anyway~”

“But —”

“Look at me Baekhyun, look into my eyes” Sehun eyes showed that he was not happy, like a kid who didn’t get his candy, it was actually cute, Baekhyun admitted trying to suppress his laughter.

“I want to work on music with you guys”

“....”

“I don’t want to be a lawyer, an accountant, a business man, or anything that has to do with bussiness.”

“....”

“Even if I graduated with a medical degree, I would still become a musician.”

“But if —”

“Wait, let me finish.”

“....”

“I am grown up now, I already finished highschool.”

“....”

“Hey, why is this not working”

Junmyeon said as all eyes were on the laptop screen, Sehun slided his finger on his phone when it displayed the real time broadcast on the 13 inch laptop.

 ‘Congratulations to the first band that passed the last top 8 teams the next band is-’

“Ah finally...”

Baekhyun was the one who persuaded Glay to take part in this contest, three months passed by very quickly. They practiced all day and night, hoping that they would be able to pass at least one round. Sehun didn’t even return home for the past three days when he heard that they pass to the top 16 groups. Though it may be impossible, they were still hoping that they would pass the top 8 round.

 ‘The 7^th team to be in the top 8 is…..’

“Please… Please” Kyungsoo muttered, silently praying so that they would go to the top 8.

“....”

Baekhyun looked down to his hand, which was covered by another’s, Sehun gave him a small smile, but that did not make Baekhyun less nervous. If they went to the top 8, they would be able to perform on this year’s stage, where many other famous rock stars were waiting to step on the land of Seoul.

Suddenly...

“Glay”

“Yesssssss!!”

“We made it, we finally made it!”

Every sound but the sounds of the members cheering were heard in Baekhyun’s ears. Junmyeon looked like he was about to jump on the computer while Kyungsoo looked like he was about to cry any minute now.

 “....!”

But what surprised Baekhyun the most was the warm feeling of someone’s lips on his cheek and was again greeted with the same smile from Oh Sehun. Following that was a thumbs up from the said boy.

‘Good Job’

Baekhyun read Sehun’s lips, it was the first time that Baekhyun thought Sehun looked manlier and his jaw line seemed to stand out more as he smiled.
