Minseok woke up the next day feeling giddy yet tired. He turned seeing an innocent Baekhyun sleeping beside him. 

Rough happened the night before. He was feeling euphoric and happiness was just all over the place. He couldn’t escape the smile coming out from his lips. He doesn’t want to let go of Baekhyun again. He doesn’t want to separate himself from the man he fully adores.

”Hey, you look like an idiot smiling all by yourself” Baekhyun looked at Minseok teasingly.

”Stop. I am just.. I am just so happy we’re finally here. This is so surreal. But for now, i think we need to go grab breakfast then I’ll be coming in for work. Okay?”

”Seokiebaby, I am so happy too. This is what I have ever wanted in my life. You, me. Together. I couldn’t think of anything else”. Baekhyun’s face lit. “Aand breakfast? Yes! I’ve been so hungry specially thinking about what we did last night”. He winked. 

They kissed again for a few more minutes.

Minseok then bid Baekhyun goodbye for work and the other decided to go home to study. 

Days passed and their relationship kept getting stronger. Admiration and joy were all they were feeling. They had a few dates every now and then. Baek was also able to meet Minseok’s friends, Kris and Yixing. They were all hanging out well including Luhan who just smiled through the pain.

Minseok was feeling so much better and didn’t even think there will be another problem he’ll soon face.

———————————

While Baekhyun was walking to fetch Minseok at the small grocery store he was working for a date, he noticed someone was following him. He didn’t mind it when he turned and saw no one.  

“Ahh. Weird. Who might it be. Maybe some kids who just want to troll”. He convinced himself.

When he reached the block outside Minseok’s workplace, someone grabbed him and leaned towards him against the wall.

”Hyunnie, why the sudden change? Why are you ignoring me? Why did you send a message saying you don’t want to see me anymore? You’re always not at your place when I visit. Tell me, what’s wrong?”

It was Chanyeol. The tall man was too persistent to get an answer. He couldn’t move. He just wants to escape and run towards Minseok. But he couldn’t.

”Chanyeol! Let go of me! Stop!”

Just when he is about to fight, the tall man grabbed him and kissed him hard. Baekhyun wasn’t able to stop the man. He was too strong he couldn’t move. 

Standing on the other side was Minseok. Frozen. Shocked. He saw Baekhyun and Chanyeol kissing. He saw his own man Baekhyun not ignoring the kiss. He retreated and ran as far as he can. He wanted to forget what he saw. He wanted to disappear. He wanted to cry so hard. 

Baekhyun’s world stopped.
