Park Chanyeol’s walking downtown cooling himself with the cold wind that blows straight to his face. He lifts his hoodie on to avoid further commotions he’s been building the past few

weeks. He’s troubled and spacing out a lot of times feeling the suffocation of being the idol people demands to him. He’s in the city far away from his family’s house and so he felt how

he’s extra alone. Chanyeol didn’t bother the other member hooking to his little adventure. Maybe he has to find his reason to go on by his own

He walks straight and about to put his earphones on when he heard gentle voices coming somewhere

“Chanyeol smiles were sad” a girl blurts out all of the sudden.

He tightens his hold to his phone as he slows down his pace trying to eaves drop to a conversation.

“Aigoo, my son...” the other coos that make Chanyeol snort because judging by their voices he’s sure they’re younger than him

“I miss his smile, the smile he has whenever he’s with s or when he’s in front of his aeris” and Chanyeol would want to agree that he misses his smile too that the past few days

all the hate and pressure were the things building up in his mind.

“I wish I could hug him and cuddle him in my arms” That’s what he needed right now and how he wish could jump into this girl to ask for a hug.

“I wish he could eat well and sleep”

“But he doesn’t sleep for he drowns himself with his composition..”

“If given a chance I would love to stay up all night and listen to all his composition...” Chanyeol knows that if that moment was offered to someone they’ll surely accept it but hearing it

from someone melts his heart.

“As if you can stand being next to him, you even cried just because he stood in front of us in Exo’luxion” Chanyeol’s been following them the whole time and he’s impressed how the two

seems undistracted by his presence following them.

“Yah, you always use that against me, when I can’t even recall how it feels” the one with a youthful voice said, sadness heard to her voice.

The one with a more serious tone laughed at her company gathering the smaller into her arms. She looks down and screams

“Happy Birthday bub!” the taller hugs her tight and this reminds him of his friendship with Kyungsoo. Chanyeol looks down to his watch only to discover that it’s past midnight as he looks

at the young ladies walking side by side. He scans the road and sees it’s a bit dangerous to leave them out and promised himself to just walk them up to where it’s safe.

The taller tugs the other hand as she asks

“Does Park Chanyeol make you happy?” She asks and Chanyeol can hear the sincerity of the question.

“For stanning EXO for the past 3 years, I would love to tell him that he may not be my first bias but he will be my last...”

“Cheeseballs...” and Chanyeol try to keep his laugh.

“I may not be the most expressive person and you know that, but with him I would want to let him know how much he is loved. That even though a lot of haters would point out of how

arrogant he is, I would love to do a list of how precious he is...”

Her friend could only squeeze her hand acknowledging her words.

“Sometimes I want to roll him to my blanket and keep him away from this world but I also want the world to know that a person like this do exist, someone so soft, so loving, so

precious...” and she lifts her shoulders as if unsure what to say next. Chanyeol can feel the overwhelming words pumping his heart so hard.

“Chanyeol keeps my standards high, he never wants me to settle...” Chanyeol looks up to the smaller.

“Because of him I learn that the man who treats his mom like a queen will treat his woman like a princess. Look at how he treats his aeris, gentle and valuable, and I couldn’t ask anything

for more. Seeing him treat our fandom like that is enough”

“Aigoo my birthday girl, if only i can wrap my son Chanyeol for you with cherry on top..” and Chanyeol’s in dazed for the love he feels inside hearing the words raw and not hidden to a

username online, it warming his whole soul. He lost track of the road and didn’t see the gutter that trips him. Chanyeol yelps that attracts the attention of the two.

“Are you okay?” He heard the voice that’s been making him feel loved since a while ago. A hand was about to touch his head when he looks up to the two as he removes his hoodie. The

smaller is taken aback as she backs away with a gasp.

“Happy Birthday..” He greets her looking straight in her eyes

Tears start gathering in her eyes and Chanyeol knows he wouldn’t get a respond even her taller company at dazed too, whispering little “oh my god” to herself.

The birthday girl still stuck on her pose with her hands still on the place where it stops when he’s about to reach the man a while ago. Chanyeol puts his head to her hand as he snuggles

his head closer to her smaller hand. A little more snuggles and Chanyeol can already feel the finger starts ruffling his hair feeling the fingertips massaging his scalp as he looks up to her

and gives her the sweetest smile he can muster.

“Do I make you happy?” the other nods frantically with his fingers still lingering in his hair.

“You made me happy too..” as he takes her hand giving it a squeeze before asking her to go home safely. He waits for the two to get in to the subway as she turns her back once more and

he gives her one last wave with an assuring smile that he’s really there. He turns his back and marches his way to their dorm.

Kyungsoo’s reading a book when a message pops up with a photo of Chanyeol interacting with a fan as he looks at the positive feedback about this genuine gesture. The door opens with

Chanyeol on his hoodie jumping to Kyungsoo’s bed. Silence took over as he soothes the other.

“Are you happy?” Kyungsoo asks knowing the answer but he wants to hear

“I am so happy” as he snuggles closer feeling his smile growing with his heart warmth.

“Happy birthday my fan girl..” he whispers to himself..
