It had been a few months since Baekhyun started college and he was still trying to familiarise himself with the new place. He was staying in a dorm and Baekhyun was glad that his roommate, a younger guy in dance major with the name of Oh Sehun, was such a nice guy. He might be a little straightforward, but he was such a nice kid and Baekhyun was really comfortable with him.

 

Baekhyun had made some other friends – such as Jongdae, Kyungsoo and Junmyeon from his vocal class, Minseok and Yixing from the art club that he was forced to participate in and Jongin, which was a friend of Sehun that liked to come to their room to hang out together.

 

His days were always filled with classes, assignments, group projects and lots of club activities. So, when he got a chance to enjoy his free time like this, Baekhyun didn’t waste it and went to enjoy his weekend alone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

That day was his usual me-time, which he spent it alone and did whatever he wanted to do. And of course, he'd spend it in his favourite comic haven. Baekhyun had been dying to wait for the weekend to go and buy the new volume of the series that he's reading now.

 

Baekhyun ran his fingers on the spine of the comics arranged on the shelf, smiling as he browsed them. As he was browsing the comics, he finally found the one that he's been looking for and wow, he's so lucky because it's the last one available. However, just like a scene in a manga, as he reached out to take it, there was another hand also reaching out to do so.

 

Baekhyun's days had never been eventful - he had always led a very calm and simple life, so to think that one day he would get into a scene like the shoujo manga he had been reading was something that he couldn't even imagine.

 

If his life was a manga, flowers and sparkles would have already started to float around the moment Baekhyun turned to his right and saw the owner of the hand; a handsome, very tall, fair-skinned guy with his ears sticking out cutely. But of course, there was no flowers nor sparkles floating around, but still, the vibe was there.

 

"O-Oh, I'm sorry. Here, you can have it," The tall guy smiled apologetically as he handed the manga to Baekhyun, making it awkward for Baekhyun in turn. Baekhyun waved his hands in front of his, "But you took it first, so you can just have it."

 

"No, I insist," The guy nodded for Baekhyun to take the comic in his hand, and not wanting to drag it out any further, Baekhyun took it with a small smile. "Um, thank you for this. And I'm sorry, I feel guilty to buy this now," Baekhyun scratched his head, a gesture he did whenever he feel awkward.

 

"Well, if you feel so guilty," The guy trailed his words off, grabbing Baekhyun's attention, "Maybe you can give me your number in return?" Baekhyun's mouth was agape as he stared at the guy incredulously, the guy smiling sheepishly back at him.

 

Baekhyun finally got to grasp his mind back, so he closed his mouth and shook his head. "Um, pardon?"

 

The tall guy then shrugged as he smiled teasingly, "I said, you can give me your phone number in return. Well, who knows if I want to read the comic, I can just call you. Am I right?"

 

Baekhyun couldn't help but to chuckle at the absurdity of the guy’s logic. "Well, that was smooth, but I think you can just come here again next time to buy the comic." Baekhyun laughed when he saw the smile fell off the guy's face but he just held up the comic as he walked away from the man, "Thanks again for this."

 

The guy finally let out a chuckle as he watched Baekhyun walk away. "My name is Park Chanyeol, by the way. Just in case you want to search for me, for the comic of course." The guy - Chanyeol - screamed as he waved at Baekhyun, who just laughed and waved back before making his payment and walk out of the store.

Chanyeol chuckled as he suddenly remembered the cute, little guy he met a few days before. Well, the guy was not that little, but still he was shorter than Chanyeol. Though Chanyeol noticed that the guy had a very broad shoulder, he still looked cute nonetheless. And other things that Chanyeol had noticed was his cute-shaped thin lips and that one adorable mole on the right side of his lips. Chanyeol noticed too how beautiful his fingers were when the guy held onto the comic.

 

In conclusion, these things that Chanyeol noticed during that short amount of time only pointed out to him on how cute the guy was and that Chanyeol would like to know him better.

 

Tapping his fingers on the counter as he waited for his order of coffee to be done, Chanyeol trailed his gaze around the cafe. As he looked around the cafe mindlessly, Chanyeol didn’t fail to take notice of the interior design of the cafe. He liked it since the cafe gave him a homey feeling, making him feel comfortable being there.

 

There were not that many people at the time – there were a few suited businessmen having coffees, a family at the round table in the middle of the cafe and also a few students having discussion. Chanyeol's gaze somehow became transfixed on a guy that was sitting alone at the table in the corner of the cafe, maybe a student doing his assignment, as he was intently typing on his laptop.

 

"Sir, your coffee." Chanyeol's stare was broken with the voice of the barista there, handing him his order. The tall guy turned around and then took the coffee with a small thanks to the barista. He should have walked away the moment he took his coffee, but Chanyeol didn't know why he really wanted to go to the lonely guy at the corner of the cafe. He just felt like to,

 

So he did.

 

 

"Hi, is this seat taken?"

 

"Huh? No, it is no-"

 

Chanyeol held his breath when he heard the somehow familiar voice and he finally felt like his breath was taken away when the guy looked up at him. Chanyeol didn’t really put high hope in meeting the guy from the comic store, but luck seemed to be on his side as the guy turned out to be the same guy he had been thinking about.

 

Chanyeol beamed wide at the sight of the cute guy again and he shamelessly pulled back the chair before taking his seat and putting his cup of coffee on the table, noticing how wide the guy's eyes as he stared - once again - incredulously at him. The guy blinked his eyes in disbelief as he snorted, "What are you doing here? Are you following me? Why, do you want the comic that much?"

 

Chanyeol held up his hands, as in surrendering when he saw how the guy narrowed his eyes at him. "Woah, relax! First of all, this is a free country so I'm free to be wherever I want to be. Second, I'm not following you, it's a mere coincidence that we meet here. And lastly, yes, I do want the comic, but not as much as I want to know your name and your phone number."

 

Chanyeol ended his answers with a big grin, once again making the guy dumbfounded. The guy sighed softly, "Why do you want my number that much? I don't even know you."

 

The tall guy smiled as he took a sip on his coffee, "Well, that's why I want your number. We can know each other better if we can text each other." Chanyeol hummed, "On second thought, if we meet like this always, we can know each other better too. Should we meet here everyday?” Chanyeol tilted his head as he asked innocently before finally laughing at the exasperated sigh the guy gave out.

 

"If I give you my name and number, will you finally leave me alone?"

 

Chanyeol hummed as he pretended to think about it, "Well, maybe." Sensing the glare that was given his way, Chanyeol held up his hands again, "Okay, okay, I will not pester you. I will ask you nicely if I want to text you and if you are not in the mood to text, I will leave you alone." Chanyeol peered at the guy with his (attempted) puppy eyes, "Now, will you tell me your name? And number?"

 

The guy rolled his eyes as he sighed loudly, to show how annoyed he was at the time before finally succumbed to Chanyeol's requests.

 

“Baekhyun. Byun Baekhyun.”

 

Chanyeol couldn’t stop the wide grin on his face when he finally knew the name of the adorable guy, not minding the fact that his grin could be very weird at times and maybe scared the guy away. But the small guy – Baekhyun – just rolled his eyes, “Can I do my work in peace now?”

 

Chanyeol nodded his head with a satisfied smile on his face, “Yes, of course. I’ll just sit here without even making a noise.” Baekhyun heaved a sigh while shaking his head softly, looking irritated but Chanyeol knew that he was not because he saw the small smile painted on Baekhyun’s face.

 

 

 

 

 

 

From : unknown number

hey, did you reach your dorm safely? im in my house already, in fact im already on my bed, looking so cute and adorable in my pjs, ready to have my beauty sleep. sleep well, baekhyunnie, and pls dream of me ><

–pcy-

 

Baekhyun let out a snort as he read the text he just received. He too was already on his bed, freshed out from shower and already donned in his comfortable clothes, getting ready to sleep.

 

Chanyeol had stayed true to his words – he just sat silently without making a noise beside Baekhyun as Baekhyun settled his assignment. Baekhyun didn’t say it out loud but it did feel nice having Chanyeol with him as he did his assignment. And even when it was already dark outside, Chanyeol still sat with Baekhyun, ordering his fourth cup of coffee along with an iced coffee for Baekhyun since Baekhyun had finished with his.

 

Baekhyun had told the guy to go back home, or to go and do whatever he wanted to but Chanyeol just smiled at him and ruffled his hair without saying a word, before turning his attention back to his phone. Well, Chanyeol truly didn’t make a noise and even though Baekhyun hated it when someone played or ruffled his hair, he found himself didn’t minding it when Chanyeol’s big and warm hand was on his hair.

 

It was scary how fast Chanyeol, the guy that he had met for the second time, could make him feel that comfortable already.

 

“Hm, I never see you smiling like that at your phone, hyung. Who are you texting?”

 

Baekhyun looked up from his phone in shock, didn’t realise when Sehun had come back. The younger was now lying on his bed, which was at the other side of their room, watching Baekhyun with his curious eyes.

 

“O-Oh, nothing. I just met someone when I was doing assignments at the usual cafe earlier today.” Baekhyun answered nonchalantly, before tapping on his phone again to send a last message to Chanyeol.

 

To: PCY

Yes, i reached safely. I’m going to bed too now and i’m not going to dream of you. Goodnight

 

From: PCY

Why do you sound cold even on text? :’(

And why wont you dream of me? You meanie T^T

Anyway, goodnight baekhyunnie :D

 

 

Baekhyun didn’t realise that he had a smile on his face as he was reading the text Chanyeol sent him. He could imagine the tall guy trying to look cute as he said all the things he had typed. Chanyeol was tall, and big, but still, he looked so cute and adorable that Baekhyun couldn’t bring himself to feel annoyed at him no matter how hard he tried to. Chanyeol was just lovable that Baekhyun felt it was impossible to not like him.

 

“You’re smiling again, that’s rare.” Sehun commented once again, pulling Baekhyun out of his thoughts. Glancing at the younger, Baekhyun could see the telltale of teasings that was going to come out of Sehun’s mouth so before the younger could do that, Baekhyun quickly put his phone away.

 

After he had put his phone on the nightstand, Baekhyun then proceeded to lie on his bed, pulling the cover over him as he felt unnerved with the knowing smirk that Sehun was giving him.

 

“Sooooo,” Sehun purposely trailed the syllable, propping his chin on his hand as he stared at his roommate, “You just met someone and you changed numbers? And now you’re smiling widely as you text that person?” Sehun hummed as he lied on his back, staring at the ceiling with a small smirk. “That’s weird. As far as I know you, you never get that close with someone that you just met.”

 

Not knowing what to answer, Baekhyun just turned his back to Sehun and pulled the cover over his head, mumbling out a small ‘goodnight’ to Sehun. Sehun let out a loud laugh as he knew that he had made the older flustered, feeling good that finally someone had caught his roommate’s  interest.

 

“Okay, goodnight, Baek hyung. I hope you dream of that person that you just met,” Sehun teased with a chuckle before letting out a loud laugh when Baekhyun hauled a pillow at him.

 

 

----

 

 

Well, Baekhyun seriously was having a second thought on why did he give Chanyeol his name and number back then. Come to think of it again, he could just have the security or the manager of the cafe to throw Chanyeol out of the cafe at the time instead of giving him his name and number. He seriously felt like he had sold his soul to the devil by giving his name and number to the tall guy.

 

"Why are you having that dark look on your face?"

 

Baekhyun turned to his right, looking at Chanyeol who was asking his even without looking at him. He still couldn't understand how Chanyeol could do that - sensing his mood even when he wasn't there with him, or even without looking at him - like right now.

 

Chanyeol flipped the page of the comic hard, making Baekhyun wince as he looked at his poor comic that the guy was reading.

 

"I was thinking why didn’t I get the manager of the cafe kick you out the first time we met here."

 

Only then Chanyeol looked up at his with an offended gasp, "Ouch, you hurt me!"

 

Baekhyun rolled his eyes, "Well, I will hurt you for real if you flip the page carelessly once again."

 

Chanyeol just smiled apologetically before he resumed his reading, carefully this time around when he wanted to flip the pages. Baekhyun just shook his head at the guy before paying attention back to his assignment, a comfortable silence consuming them once again.

 

Even when he was constantly annoyed by Chanyeol, Baekhyun somehow felt kind of grateful that the guy approached him at first, because now he had a very good, close and dear friend to himself. As obnoxious as he was, Chanyeol, with no doubt, was a very great and caring friend.

 

They shared a lot of interests - comics, games, basketball, same band and type of music, same genre of movies and so much more. Despite that, they still had their differences - the ones that made them bicker and argue for a long time but still apologised after 5 minutes or so.

 

It had been months since they started being friends, but Baekhyun felt that it was like years already. They just clicked so well together that they could even finish each other's sentences and they were so sensitive of each other's feelings that they knew when to fool around and when to be serious.

 

They just complete each other so well, that Baekhyun couldn't help but to feel thankful and happy for having Chanyeol in his life.

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe too happy and thankful, because now, he couldn't help but to start falling for him.

Chanyeol glanced down at the watch clasped around his wrist, sighing when he noticed that Baekhyun had been late for about 20 minutes now. He rolled his eyes, tapping his feet on the ground as he waited not-so-patiently for the petite guy to arrive.

 

He was at their favourite hangout place - a park near Baekhyun's university and people had been looking at him weirdly as they saw him sitting there alone. Chanyeol grunted as he pulled out his phone to call Baekhyun and maybe scream at him for being late - because Baekhyun had done that to Chanyeol when the younger was late before - but before he could, his notification had went off.

 

 

From: midget byun

i know that im late & i can feel ur annoyance even from afar but i hv a very good reason to be late so pls dont get angry. im almost there btw

 

From: giant yoda

oh good to know that you know that you're late. you better make it up with ice cream later on

 

From: midget byun

sir yes sir. pls wait just a lil bit more

 

 

Chanyeol sighed in annoyance and he leant back against the bench as he waited, knowing that when Baekhyun said he's near so that really meant he's nearby. And true to his words, Baekhyun finally appeared in front of him not even 2 minutes later, looking a bit breathless like he had been running.

 

Chanyeol was concerned as he looked at the sweaty and breathless Baekhyun but at the moment, he was even more concerned with the bundle of cuteness in Baekhyun’s hands.

 

"Why are you holding a puppy in your hand?"

 

Baekhyun smiled sheepishly at him, holding the black puppy closer to his chest as he feigned cuteness. "Isn't he cute? Well, I found him looking so lost by the road so I decide to take him with me." As he saw Chanyeol opened his mouth to protest, Baekhyun quickly defended himself. “He was not wearing a collar and he was just wandering around by the road, so he clearly doesn’t belong to anyone. He almost got hit too, so I can’t just let him by the road like that.”

 

Chanyeol shook his head, knowing how big Baekhyun’s heart was. He practically could adopt every stray that he met and that was what Chanyeol liked about Baekhyun - how kind-hearted he was, how he was so selfless and how he cared about others – humans, animals and even plants. But still, he hated it when Baekhyun found a stray because all of his attention would be stolen and he wouldn't pay enough attention to Chanyeol!

 

"You were late because of him, right?" Chanyeol asked in an annoyed tone, making Baekhyun smiled guiltily. He then held the puppy up, "Yes, he is the reason but can you blame me? He is so cute, I can't just let him be." Baekhyun batted his eyes at Chanyeol as he smiled sheepishly, the puppy somehow looking at him with the same cuteness level as he let out small barks at Chanyeol.

 

"Ugh, you're lucky that the both of you are cute," Chanyeol mumbled exasperatedly, making Baekhyun let out a small cheer. But Baekhyun’s small cheer was interrupted when Chanyeol asked him, “But can you even take care of him? I don’t think your dorm allows pets inside.”

 

The smile on Baekhyun’s fell when he was reminded about that. Chanyeol felt his heart clenched when he noticed that a small pout had formed on Baekhyun’s lips and the puppy too had his ears drooped down on his head.

 

“Aw, I’m so sorry, puppy. I can’t take care of you,” Baekhyun apologized to the puppy in his hands, which the puppy just responded with a on his face. Baekhyun smiled softly at the adorable puppy but still he looked so sad. Too sad that Chanyeol felt like screaming because he didn’t like it when Baekhyun frown in sadness.

 

Sighing softly, Chanyeol nudged Baekhyun on his shoulder, in a deep breath when Baekhyun gazed up at him with his sad eyes. “You don’t have to be sad. You still can take care of this puppy.”

 

Baekhyun’s eyebrows srunched in confusion at Chanyeol’s words, “B-But, I can’t take him with me into the dorm, how can I-“

 

“I’ll take the puppy to my apartment, you can come over like usual and play with him.”

 

Baekhyun’s eyes widened when he heard Chanyeol saying that, a small smile started to creep up on his face. “Are you sure? He can stay at your house? Really?” Chanyeol sighed once before flashing Baekhyun a small smile, “Yes, Baekhyun, he can stay at my house and I’ll take care of him. You can still meet him and play with him at my house.”

 

Chanyeol let out a small shriek when suddenly Baekhyun screamed in happiness, pulling attention from people around the park but Baekhyun couldn’t care less. He smothered the puppy in his hand with kisses before ing the puppy in front of Chanyeol’s face, resulting the puppy all over Chanyeol’s face with excited barks as his way of saying thanks.

 

“Oh my God, Baek- Stop it!” Chanyeol tried to push the puppy away, but Baekhyun just let out his hearty laugh as he kept urging the puppy to kiss Chanyeol. When Baekhyun finally pulled the puppy away, Chanyeol wiped the puppy’s trace on his face with the sleeves of his sweater but Baekhyun suddenly stopped him.

 

Startled with that, Chanyeol looked down at Baekhyun with his eyebrows raised, asking silently what was wrong but Baekhyun just smiled at him widely before stepping closer to Chanyeol and gave him a peck on his cheek before pulling away with red hues on his cheeks.

 

Chanyeol’s eyes widened slightly as he stared at the happy Baekhyun, taken aback with the sudden attack. Chanyeol could still feel the tingling feeling of Baekhyun’s lips on his cheek and his heart was now thumping madly in his chest, making Chanyeol feel like his soul had been pulled out of his body. Baekhyun however just looked up at him with a shy smile on his face and with his eyes bright, “Thank you so much, Chanyeol.”

 

Chanyeol couldn’t even form a word to reply back to Baekhyun, but the latter seemed like he didn’t mind it as he beamed brightly at Chanyeol, one of his hands holding the puppy while the other reached down to tug Chanyeol along with him. “Now, let’s go and get your ice cream!”

 

Chanyeol could just shake his head as he followed Baekhyun’s steps, a smile now appearing on his face as he stared at Baekhyun from his back. Chanyeol used to hate the thumping in his chest when he was with Baekhyun before, because he didn’t know what was the trigger for it but the kiss from Baekhyun just now had acted as an eye-opener for him.

 

Chanyeol now knew what was happening with him whenever he’s with Baekhyun;

 

He had fallen for Baekhyun.

 

 

 

 

And he found himself didn’t minding it even one bit.

 

 

---

 

Baekhyun groaned as he put his head on his notes splattered on his desk, feeling very tired, frustrated, annoyed, stressed – all emotions attacking him at the same time. It was close to 2 in the morning and he had a very important test the next day but still, Baekhyun couldn’t sleep because he still needed to review all the notes.

 

Baekhyun had been studying like a crazy man for the past few days. He didn’t even do anything else aside from studying; he didn’t even go out for the past few days and instead he had been camping in his room with his notes. Baekhyun had been burning the midnight oil too and he was sure it had taken a toll on him.

 

But still, Baekhyun couldn’t take a rest because he had to do well on the test. He had been rereading all his notes over and over again, wanting to keep all the information in his mind and he wouldn’t stop before he could remember everything that he had read.

 

However, as he read his notes again and again, he found himself getting frustrated because he couldn’t remember even a single thing! Baekhyun groaned as he sat up straight again, taking a flashcard in his hand to read the notes once again. He closed his eyes as he tried to recall what he just had read, but.. nothing! Baekhyun couldn’t remember anything at all!

 

Baekhyun slammed the flashcard on his desk as he pressed his palms to his eyes, trying to stop the frustrated tears that had swelled at the brim of his eyes. Baekhyun let out a very deep sigh, taking in deep breaths to calm himself down but who was he kidding, he knew that he couldn’t do well on his test tomorrow and he knew that he was going to fail the paper.

 

Baekhyun slumped down on his desk, feeling like his soul had left his body by now. Baekhyun was kind of grateful that Sehun was not in the room as the younger went to stay the nights at Jongin’s, not wanting to disturb Baekhyun. But then, being alone in the room with his notes and with no one to talk to made Baekhyun feel even worse.

 

Baekhyun jumped a bit when his phone suddenly went off. Baekhyun glanced at the clock on the wall and he scrunched his brows. It was already 2 in the morning, who could be calling him? As his phone kept on blasting the ringtone for some time now, Baekhyun quickly took his phone and answered the call without looking at the caller ID.

 

“Hello?”

 

“Hey, Baekhyunnie. You okay?”

 

Baekhyun blinked his eyes, wiping the tears that had managed to escape his eyes earlier. He cleared his throat to compose himself, knowing that Chanyeol could detect even the slightest change in his voice. “Chanyeollie? Yeah, yeah, I’m okay. Why are you calling me?”

 

Baekhyun somehow couldn’t stop the sniffle that he accidentally let out, hoping that Chanyeol didn’t notice that. He then heard Chanyeol humming, “Weird. My Baekhyun sense had been going off since earlier that I couldn’t even sleep and here you are saying you’re okay.”

 

Baekhyun unconsciously let out a small smile at Chanyeol’s words, “Well, your Baekhyun sense is obviously wrong. Go to sleep now, Chanyeol-ah.”

 

Chanyeol hummed once again, yawning after. “You too, Baekhyunnie. You have a test tomorrow, so you need enough sleep.” Baekhyun hummed in reply and he heard Chanyeol whispering a soft goodnight before they both hang up the call.

 

Baekhyun let out a small smile, feeling somewhat a bit better with just a phone call from Chanyeol. It’s crazy how the taller could know when to make Baekhyun feel better, and he also did a very good job at calming Baekhyun down. Even when he didn’t realise it.

 

Baekhyun then put his phone away and turned back to his notes. He had thought that maybe he could just tidy up and go to bed but still, Baekhyun didn’t feel satisfied with his reading so he grabbed his notes and started reading again. He would just read a few more and he’d get his sleep soon.

 

 

 

 

Baekhyun actually got to grasp the information inside his head better now and without him realising, it was already 40 minutes since the phone call with Chanyeol. Thinking that he would stop when the clock striked 3, Baekhyun stretched a bit before he started reading his notes again, recounting everything again as best as he could.

 

Baekhyun however let out a small shriek in surprise when there were knocks on the door out of a sudden. Baekhyun clenched his chest in shock, glancing at the door with his eyes wide. Who the hell would knock at his door at this time in the morning?!

 

Gulping his saliva down his throat, Baekhyun slowly got up from his desk and walked to the door, hoping that the person who was knocking on his door would be Sehun or anyone from their floor. Mumbling some prayers under his breath, Baekhyun finally braced himself and opened the door, hoping that he would still be alive after this.

 

Baekhyun’s eyes however widened when he saw the tall guy with protruding ears, holding up a plastic bag with a very wide grin on his face.

 

“What the- Chanyeol?! What are you doing here? How.. How do you even get in the building?!”

 

Baekhyun almost screamed in the empty and quiet hallway, making the grin on Chanyeol’s face fell off. “You’re not even inviting me in?” Chanyeol pouted for a good measure, making Baekhyun flustered as he ushered Chanyeol inside.

 

“What are you doing here, Chanyeollie?”

 

Chanyeol ignored all of Baekhyun’s question as he made way to the smaller’s desk, shaking his head and clicking his tongue when he saw all the notes sprawled over the desk. “My guess is right. You are still studying when you should have been sleeping.”

 

Baekhyun let out a grimace when he heard the tone of Chanyeol’s voice, knowing how the tall guy didn’t like it when Baekhyun overworked himself. Baekhyun slowly made his way to Chanyeol, biting his lip as he tried to defend himself. “Well, I was reading my last note and I swear that I’m going to bed after.”

 

Chanyeol turned around to face Baekhyun, his eyebrows scrunched (cutely) showing how displeased he was with Baekhyun. Trying to save himself from Chanyeol’s anger, Baekhyun smiled cutely at the taller, batting his eyelashes for good measure but Chanyeol sadly didn’t buy it.

 

Without words, the giant pushed Baekhyun towards his bed and made the latter sat down at the edge of his bed. Baekhyun just watched as Chanyeol took the plastic bag that he brought here with him to the small pantry in the room and started to prepare something that Baekhyun couldn’t really guess what it was.

 

Baekhyun felt something stir in his heart as he saw Chanyeol moving around freely and comfortably in his room, almost like it was his own room. Chanyeol had been there for so many times already that there were even traces of him in every crook of the room – his shirts that Baekhyun loved to borrow, his snapbacks that he had left behind, even his toothbrush that he used whenever he decided to crash there.

 

Baekhyun still remember how Sehun seemed so uncomfortable when Chanyeol stayed in their room for the first time. The younger never liked it when a stranger came into their room, more over when a stranger stayed the night in their room but the next day, Baekhyun had woken up to empty space beside him and to a sight of Sehun and Chanyeol gaming together.

 

Baekhyun knew that Chanyeol was always a charmer, so it was not strange that he had managed to befriend the cold Sehun in one night.

 

“Here, drink this.”

 

Baekhyun was pulled out of his thought when Chanyeol ed a mug in front of his face. Baekhyun looked up at Chanyeol, saying a soft thanks as he took the mug in his hands. Chanyeol took a seat beside Baekhyun as he watched the smaller inhaled the scent of the chamomile tea first before sipping on it slowly.

 

They both stayed in a comfortable silence – with Baekhyun sipping on the tea while Chanyeol just watching him silently. Baekhyun finally finished the tea and Chanyeol took the mug to put it away before walking back to Baekhyun.

 

“Okay, now, go to sleep.” Chanyeol pushed Baekhyun by his shoulders, making the smaller lie down on the bed as he tucked Baekhyun in. “But, I still need to read-“ Baekhyun’s words were cut off when Chanyeol leaned down to leave a peck on his forehead.

 

“I know you have read enough, Baekhyunnie. Now all you need is sleep and enough rest so that you can ace your test tomorrow.”

 

Baekhyun was sure that he was blushing madly by now, just like the previous times when Chanyeol would kiss him on his forehead. He didn’t know when did it start, but Chanyeol for sure loved to peck him on his forehead. The first time it happened, they both were shocked – Chanyeol being the most shocked of them both. But then, the taller didn’t explain further about it and Baekhyun was feeling too awkward to ask about it so they just let it slide.

 

And so it happened a few more times, but they both were just fine with it. Because as much as Chanyeol loved to leave pecks on Baekhyun’s forehead, Baekhyun himself loved to kiss the taller on his cheeks whenever he wanted to thank him or whenever he felt like it.

 

Baekhyun once again was pulled out of his thoughts when Chanyeol suddenly turned off the lamp, leaving the room in darkness, aside from the moonlight showering throught the window. “I told you to go to sleep, Baekhyunnie,” Chanyeol mumbled as he climbed into the cover, Baekhyun moved aside instinctively to give him space beside him.

 

“Why don’t you sleep on Sehun’s bed? He’s not here tonight anyway,” Baekhyun talked with a soft voice, not wanting to disturb the peacefulness of the night. Chanyeol wordlessly turned to lie on his side, facing Baekhyun with his droopy eyes. Baekhyun finally noticed how sleepy the taller looked and a guilty feeling started to creep up into Baekhyun’s heart.

 

“Have I ever not slept with you whenever I come here?” Chanyeol asked with a yawn before looking down at Baekhyun with a sleepy smile. “If I sleep on Sehun’s bed, I can’t do this then,” Chanyeol said as he pulled Baekhyun closer to him and he wrapped an arm around Baekhyun, snuggling closer to him as he rested his lips on Baekhyun’s forehead.

 

Baekhyun felt his heart started to thump loudly again in his heart, but he ignored it as he tried to close his eyes and get some sleep. They both fell into a comfortable silence once again, getting lulled to sleep by each other’s breath. Baekhyun however moved to snuggle closer to Chanyeol, his hand which was on Chanyeol’s waist started to play with the hem of Chanyeol’s shirt.

 

“I’m sorry for making you coming all the way here,” Baekhyun whispered softly, getting a hum from Chanyeol as a reply. “If you forget, I came here on my own will, Baekhyunnie.” Chanyeol then hushed the smaller, “You need enough rest. Now let’s get some sleep, I don’t think I can stay awake any longer.”

 

Baekhyun just smiled at Chanyeol’s voice – which was getting deeper as it was laced with sleepiness – and he closed his eyes to get some sleep, feeling himself drifting into sleep better with Chanyeol’s big palm running up and down on his back. And not even a minute after, soft snores could be heard from the two of them, sleeping soundly as their legs tangled together in the cover.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sehun let out a snort as the first sight that greeted him when he entered his room was to Baekhyun and Chanyeol cuddling. Softly padding to his side of the room, Sehun carefully put his things to avoid making noise, not wanting to wake the lovebirds up as he knew there were around 2 more hours before Baekhyun had to go and take his test.

 

Sehun then sat down on his bed, playing on his phone silently and glancing at his sleeping hyungs occasionally. Sehun couldn’t help but to let out a snort once again as he watched the two. They had always denied whenever people asked them if they were an item or not, but then, here they were acting all couple-y. Sehun then let out a smirk as he snapped some pictures of the hyungs, giggling to himself as he had something to tease Baekhyun about later on.

 

Around half an hour later, Sehun noticed that Chanyeol started to stir awake. The former wanted to open his mouth to greet the elder but Sehun closed his mouth again when he noticed that Chanyeol stretched a bit before turning to stare at Baekhyun, who was still sleeping soundly.

 

Sehun bit his lips to stop himself from laughing. It seemed like Chanyeol didn’t even realise that Sehun was there as he was facing Baekhyun and turning his back to Sehun. Sehun couldn’t see Chanyeol’s face so he couldn’t gauge what expression the taller was making, but Sehun for sure saw the movement of Chanyeol’s hand that was caressing Baekhyun’s hair by now.

 

Pft, not dating, my !

 

Sehun let Chanyeol enjoy himself for a few moment, thinking that maybe he could record the moment but chose not to. After some time, Sehun purposely opened a video with a loud volume, making Chanyeol jump in surprise that he sat up on the bed with his eyes wide.

 

“Oh my, I’m so sorry, Chanyeol hyung.” Sehun faked a guilty expression, watching as Chanyeol tried to calm himself down. Chanyeol then turned back to Baekhyun, ensuring that the smaller was still sleeping soundly before he turned to look at Sehun again.

 

Sehun let out a knowing smirk, “I’m so sorry, hyung. I didn’t mean to disturb your time appreciating Baekhyun hyung’s face.”

 

Sehun felt so satisfied when he noticed how flushed Chanyeol become. Chanyeol spluttered as he choked on his own spit, “W-What are you saying?”

 

Sehun tsk-ed under his breathe, ignoring Chanyeol’s state of flusteredness. "So hyung, are you sure you guys aren't dating?" Sehun asked instead, laughing as he watched Chanyeol being even redder.

 

Chanyeol groaned as he saw how wide Sehun’s smirk was, “What are you even saying? Of course we aren’t dating.” Sehun pursed his lips as he shrugged, “Well, you sure act like you are dating him. Coming over to stay the night, cuddling, staring at him when he’s sleeping, taking care of him, and so much more.”

 

Sehun then lied again on his bed, turning his attention back to his phone. “Friends don’t act like you guys do, hyung. Even when the others meet you for the first time, they thought you’re Baekhyun hyung’s boyfriend.”

 

Chanyeol blinked his eyes as he listened to Sehun’s words, not knowing how to defend himself. Was he too obvious? Chanyeol sat there blankly, feeling his heart thumping so loudly in his chest. He scrunched his eyebrows at last, replying to Sehun’s words with a small voice. “B-But, we’re just friends. Best friends.”

 

Sehun chuckled as he heard Chanyeol’s weak defence, “Well, that’s cool, then.” Sehun hummed as he tapped against his phone screen, “Because I do hear rumours that a senior – his name is Heechul if I’m not mistaken – has the hots on Baekhyun hyung.”

 

Chanyeol’s eyes widened as he looked at Sehun with his mouth agape. “W-What? Really?! Are you serious?!”

 

Sehun glanced at Chanyeol once as he shrugged, before turning to play on his phone again. “Well, it’s a rumour but then who knows, maybe it’s true and maybe Baekhyun hyung will accept him if he confess since Baekhyun hyung is single anyway.” Sehun then chuckled, “But why do you even care, right? You’re just his best friend, not even his boyfriend.”

 

Chanyeol sat there blankly as he mulled over Sehun’s words while Sehun was laughing inside, seeing how shook Chanyeol was by now. Their silence was somehow broken when Baekhyun suddenly let out a whine as he stretched, his eyes fluttered open slowly.

 

“Mm, morning, Chanyeollie.”

 

Chanyeol just smiled down at Baekhyun, his hand unconsciously went to caress Baekhyun’s hair affectionately. “Morning, Baekhyunnie. Get up now and get ready, you don’t want to be late for your test.”

 

Baekhyun just hummed in reply as he sat up on his bed, finally noticing Sehun who was lying on his own bed. “Oh, hey Sehun. When did you come back?”

 

Sehun just smiled at Baekhyun, “This morning, hyung. I was kind of shocked actually, coming in to both of you cuddling but then I’m used to it by now.” Sehun flashed Baekhyun an innocent sweet smile, laughing internally at the flush adorning both Chanyeol’s and Baekhyun’s faces at his statement.

 

Not wanting to stay there any longer, Baekhyun quickly excused himself to go take a bath and get ready for his test that morning. Sehun and Chanyeol just watched as the eldest went to get ready, getting into a comfortable silence again. Chanyeol then took his phone out and started to scroll on his phone.

 

“You don’t have class today, hyung?” Sehun asked, glancing at Chanyeol. “No, I’m free today. So I’m just going to wait for Baekhyun here. Is that okay with you?” Chanyeol looked at Sehun with his eyebrow raised, earning nods of approval from the younger.

 

“Of course, hyung. I’m going to hang out with Jongin anyway after my classes.”

 

The both of them stopped talking and looked up when Baekhyun finally finished showering and went to dress himself, pulling on a large grey sweatshirt over his body. Sehun narrowed his eyes as he scrutinised the shirt, feeling like it was a little too big to be Baekhyun’s.

 

The younger then snorted as he finally figured out that it was really not Baekhyun’s, glancing over to Chanyeol to witness a proud smile spreading out on his face at the sight of Baekhyun in his shirt. Sehun just rolled his eyes, tired just by looking at these two oblivious hyungs.

 

As Baekhyun was dressing up, Chanyeol went to Baekhyun’s desk to help packing up Baekhyun’s things, knowing by heart what the smaller needed to have. When Baekhyun was all ready, Chanyeol walked to him to hand him his bag, earning him a wide smile from Baekhyun.

 

“Wish me luck, Chanyeollie,” Baekhyun said with a cute smile before he tiptoed and left a peck on Chanyeol’s cheek. The taller just ruffled his hair in return, “Of course, Baekhyunnie, I know you can ace this test. We’ll hang out after your test later on.” Chanyeol promised the smaller, making Baekhyun smile wider.

 

“Okay, I’m going first. Bye, Chanyeollie.” Baekhyun then walked to the door to put on his shoes and wanting to go out before he finally remembered. “Oh, bye Sehun-ah. See you later,” Baekhyun waved his final wave to the two men before going out of the room to face his test.

 

Chanyeol turned around to walk to Baekhyun’s bed again but he halted in his step when he saw the smirk on Sehun’s face. “Are you sure you aren’t together, hyung?” Sehun wiggled his eyebrow at the elder, making Chanyeol blush a bit before he went to lie on Baekhyun’s bed.

 

“Shut up, Oh Sen!”

 

Sehun just laughed out loud at that, hoping that his hyungs would realize their feelings soon and get together already.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Hey, welcome back. How was your test?”

 

Baekhyun groaned as he dumped his bag on the floor by his bed and went to lie on top of Chanyeol’s body, grunting in approval when Chanyeol’s fingernails started to scratch on his scalp comfortingly.

 

“It went just fine, but I’m so tired now. I just want to sleep,” Baekhyun whined cutely, making Chanyeol smile as it was rare for Baekhyun to whine, unless he was tired and needed someone to take care of him. Like right now.

 

“Do you want to eat something?” Chanyeol asked softly, rubbing the spot on Baekhyun’s nape that could make him feel relaxed. “Not yet, I just want to sleep now.” Baekhyun said with slurred voice, pulling out a laugh from Chanyeol. “Okay then, sleep. After you wake up, we’ll plan what we’ll do next.”

 

Baekhyun just hummed sleepily at that and the next moment, Chanyeol could hear the soft whines coming from Baekhyun’s mouth. Chanyeol just smiled softly at that, running his fingers through Baekhyun’s soft hair with one hand while his other hand holding onto his phone as he scrolled through his social media apps.

 

Chanyeol didn’t realize when did he fall asleep but when he opened his eyes, it was already dark outside and  Baekhyun lying beside him as he looked at him. Baekhyun then let out a soft smile, “Had a nice nap?” Chanyeol let out a groan as he stretched, smiling back at Baekhyun with a nod. “Yeah. How about you?”

 

Baekhyun swiped the fringe that had fallen on Chanyeol’s forehead, nodding his head too. “Yeah, I did.” Chanyeol hummed, yawning once before he asked Baekhyun, “Want to go out? You haven’t eaten yet, right?”

 

Baekhyun scrunched his nose, “I don’t feel like going out. Can we just stay here?” Chanyeol smiled at Baekhyun’s small pout, pulling on his small nose once just to annoy him. “Of course, Baekhyunnie. What do you want to eat? I’m going to order a takeout.”

 

Baekhyun smiled cutely as he played with Chanyeol’s hair, “I actually am craving for your mom’s seafood Risotto. Can we order that?” Chanyeol let out a chuckle, knowing how Baekhyun loved that particular dish from his mother’s restaurant.

 

“Okay then, why don’t you set up a movie for us while I order our food?”

 

Baekhyun nodded at that and went up to retrieve his laptop while Chanyeol started to call his mother to order their food. As they waited for their food, Baekhyun kept on browsing his Netflix page for a good movie. Baekhyun let out a small smirk when he found a good horror movie, knowing how much Chanyeol hated horror movies. But, the taller just had to deal with it because Baekhyun just happened to love horror movies so much.

 

Baekhyun looked up when someone knocked on the door and he watched as Chanyeol went to open the door, thanking the delivery boy and paying for their food. Chanyeol then brought the food to Baekhyun and they both decided to eat first before watching the movie.

 

Baekhyun shook his head affectionately as he reached out to wipe the sauce at the corner of Chanyeol’s lips, “Always so messy.” Baekhyun clicked his tongue playfully, earning a grin from Chanyeol. “By the way, thank you for the food, Chanyeollie. Tell your mom that her food is always the best.” Chanyeol just hummed at that and they continued eating while talking about whatever came up in their minds at the time.

 

Once they were both finished with their food, they moved to Baekhyun’s bed and huddled close to each other, Baekhyun’s laptop perched on both their thighs. “What movie is this?” Chanyeol queried, leaning his body more onto Baekhyun as he tried to feel more comfortable.

 

“Hm? I don’t know, let’s just watch it first,” Baekhyun nonchalantly answered, hushing Chanyeol down as the movie was starting. Chanyeol shrugged his shoulders at that and decided to just watch it first. But the moment the movie started, Chanyeol already didn’t have a nice feeling about it. The movie was just too dark for his liking, and the background music was too suspense that Chanyeol quickly grabbed Baekhyun’s arm.

 

“Is this a horror movie?” Chanyeol turned to ask Baekhyun, narrowing his eyes when he saw the small pull at the corner of Baekhyun’s lips. “Hm, is it? I don’t think so,” Baekhyun tilted his head innocently, glancing at Chanyeol and finding out the pout that was now present on Chanyeol’s face.

 

Baekhyun couldn’t help the laugh that bubbled out of his mouth, enjoying the frown on Chanyeol’s face by now. “Aw Chanyeollie, I want to watch this movie. Let’s just watch this, please?~” Baekhyun batted his eyelashes at Chanyeol, hoping that Chanyeol would agree with him.

 

“Okay fine,” Chanyeol finally relented, pulling a small cheer from Baekhyun. “But, you need to hold me.” Chanyeol demanded from Baekhyun, which the latter just smiled widely in return. “Of course, Chanyeollie, with all pleasure.”

 

And so they ended up watching the horror movie, with Baekhyun’s arm wrapped around Chanyeol’s shoulder and the latter pushing his face onto Baekhyun’s broad chest when scary ghosts popped out on the screen.

 

Even when he didn’t want to watch the movie at first, but now, he was the one who intently watching, whimpering at times but still peeking with one of his eyes opened, just to know the ending. He didn’t realise that Baekhyun was now just watching him instead of the movie, a soft smile plastered on his face as he listened to the cute whimpers that Chanyeol let out. Baekhyun cooed internally as Chanyeol grabbed a hold a bunch of Baekhyun’s shirt in his hand, seeking protection from Baekhyun when the movie got a little bit too intense.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Woah, that story was so ed up! Serves them right, they were the ones who killed the woman so brutally, so I’m glad that the woman haunted them to get her revenge.”

 

Baekhyun laughed as he listened to Chanyeol’s comments on the story, enjoying Chanyeol’s deep voice as he went to put away his laptop. Baekhyun then went to turn off the lamp, laughing when Chanyeol let out a loud shriek in surprise.

 

“Baekhyun!!”

 

“Okay, I’m sorry,” Baekhyun quickly made his way to his bed and climbed into the cover. He didn’t even get the chance to settle down properly as Chanyeol quickly latched onto him, burying his face on Baekhyun’s chest. Baekhyun just shook his head as he tried to get comfortable as he could and wasted no time in wrapping his arms around Chanyeol.

 

“You know I don’t like horror movies, yet you still want to watch it.” Chanyeol pouted as he felt Baekhyun pulling the cover over them. Baekhyun just hummed in reply, not saying anything as he listened to Chanyeol’s complaints.

 

“Why do you even like horror movies anyway?” Chanyeol queried as he looked up at Baekhyun, taking in the view of Baekhyun’s sharp jawline in the darkness. Chanyeol felt his heart beat faster when Baekhyun turn to look down at him, hoping that Baekhyun wouldn’t feel his fast heartbeats.

 

“I like them because..” Baekhyun trailed off, rubbing the back of Chanyeol’s ear distractedly. “Because I can have you in my arms like this.”

 

Chanyeol felt his breath got stuck in his throat as Baekhyun smiled sleepily at him, noticing the flush on Chanyeol’s face even in the dark. Feeling his ears starting to burn, Chanyeol just planted his face onto Baekhyun’s chest and snuggled closer to him, feeling the vibration of Baekhyun’s chest when the latter let out a chuckle.

 

Baekhyun then pulled Chanyeol closer to him, tightening his hold onto the younger as they both drifted to sleep.

 

 

---

 

 

Sehun sighed softly as he saw Baekhyun smiling wide as he stared at his phone. At one glance of his wide smile, Sehun could know right away that Baekhyun was texting Chanyeol. Putting down his pen on his notes, Sehun turned around on his chair to look at Baekhyun properly, calling his name to get his attention.

 

“Baek hyung, can I ask you something?”

 

Baekhyun just hummed in reply, his eyes were still fixed on his phone as he tapped against the phone screen, not even paying attention to the younger. Sehun sighed once again, clicking his tongue as he tried to think of something to get Baekhyun’s attention.

 

Sehun let out a small smirk as he thought of something. “Baek hyung, do you know if Chanyeol hyung likes anyone or not?”

 

Sehun’s smirk widened when he saw how Baekhyun’s fingers movement faltered before he looked up at Sehun with his eyebrows raised. Sehun quickly schooled his expression into an innocent one, waiting for Baekhyun’s answer.

 

“As far as I know,.. no. Why are you asking?”

 

Baekhyun asked with a soft voice, looking at Sehun with his eyes sharp. Sehun held back his smirk as he shook his head. “Nothing, I’m just curious.” Sehun tapped his fingers on the back of his chair as he hummed, “Um, why don’t you date Chanyeol hyung, hyung? Both of you are single, so why not just date each other?”

 

Baekhyun flushed in deep red at Sehun’s words, his eyes getting wide from shock. “Wh-What are you talking about? He’s.. he’s my best friend. Why would I date him?”

 

Sehun shrugged, “Well, I’m just saying. You guys are always together anyway, so might as well just date each other.”

 

Baekhyun opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out of his mouth so he just turned his attention back to his phone when Sehun turned back to his notes. They fell into a silence for a while before Sehun turned to look at Baekhyun again, making the elder stiffened up in his spot.

 

“Say hyung, what do you think of Chanyeol hyung and Jongin?”

 

“Wh-What? Chanyeol.. and Jongin?”

 

Sehun’s lips pulled up into a small smirk as he saw the dark look on Baekhyun’s face. “What do you mean, Sehun?” Baekhyun asked with a frown on his face, making Sehun laughed internally. Sehun shrugged nonchalantly, “Jongin is searching for a boyfriend, and he told me that Chanyeol hyung is kinda cute. Since Chanyeol hyung is single too, I’m thinking of matchmaking them together. So what do you think, hyung?”

 

Sehun flinched a bit when Baekhyun suddenly got up from his bed, a deep frown etched on his handsome face. Sehun blinked once, “Um, hyung, are you okay?” Sehun tried to ask with a soft voice, feeling a bit frightened by the hard look on Baekhyun’s face but also enjoying it.

 

Baekhyun was an idiot who was in love, and he didn’t even know it.

 

“Hyung?” Sehun peered once again when he didn’t get any response from Baekhyun, who was now heaving in anger. Baekhyun just turned to look at Sehun with a sharp eyes before he walked to their room door without saying anything. Sehun just watched as Baekhyun slammed the door close, kind of shocked with the reaction that Baekhyun showed him.

 

Sehun’s lips then spread into a wide smirk, hoping that this would be a trigger for Baekhyun to do something about his love life. Just as Sehun wanted to do a small cheer, the door suddenly slammed open again and came in Baekhyun with his sour face.

 

“No, I don’t approve of Jongin and Chanyeol. Tell Jongin to find someone else!” Baekhyun shouted in anger before he stormed out of the room again, leaving the dumbfounded Sehun alone in the room. Sehun just shook his head as he watched at the now closed door.

 

 

“Idiot hyungs.”

 

 

---

 

 

It had been days that Baekhyun seemed off. Yes, he still behaved like usual, but he could never fool Chanyeol. Even though they knew each other not even for a year, Chanyeol knew Baekhyun like the back of his hand already.

 

Since Baekhyun was free for the weekend, Chanyeol had asked his best friend to spend the night at his apartment and Baekhyun at first refused to, something that he had never done before. But of course, he couldn’t resist Chanyeol’s puppy eyes (and also Toben’s – the puppy that they both taken in before) so he finally relented.

 

Chanyeol put down his guitar on his bed before he moved to sit beside Baekhyun on the floor, who was playing around with Toben. Baekhyun didn’t even glance at him, seemingly deep in his thought as he distractedly rubbed Toben’s belly, earning soft whimpers from the black, fluffy puppy as he rolled over in contentment.

 

“Baek, are you okay?”

 

Chanyeol watched as Baekhyun jumped in startle, finally noticing that Chanyeol was now beside him. Baekhyun looked at Chanyeol with a small smile before turning back to play with Toben, “Of course, I’m okay. Why are you asking?”

 

Chanyeol reached out a hand to rub the back of Baekhyun’s neck, the smaller leaned back into his touch unconsciously as he started to relax a bit. “You know you can tell me anything, right?” Chanyeol assured the elder, earning himself a small smile from Baekhyun in return.

 

They both fell into a comfortable silence after, watching as Toben jumped in his spot and Baekhyun’s fingers playfully. Chanyeol didn’t stop rubbing on Baekhyun’s neck, knowing how that action could make him feel better and Baekhyun really did look more comfortable and more relaxed after some times.

 

“Chanyeollie?”

 

Chanyeol raised an eyebrow as he looked back at Baekhyun, who moved his body to face Chanyeol and looking straight at Chanyeol’s eyes, making Chanyeol’s hand that was holding him fell down to his arm by now. Chanyeol took in the beautiful sight of the person in front of him, feeling his heart skipped a beat as he stared back into Baekhyun’s droopy eyes.

 

“Hm?” Chanyeol asked with a soft voice, not wanting to disrupt the calm atmosphere. Baekhyun looked hesitant at first, looking down to take Chanyeol’s big hand in his own, playing with Chanyeol’s thick fingers.

 

“Baekhyunnie? What is it?” Chanyeol coaxed out a reply from Baekhyun, waiting patiently for the latter to speak to him. Chanyeol’s eyes too fell on their intertwined hands, watching as Baekhyun’s long and slender fingers fit imperfectly yet so perfectly in between his own.

 

“What do you think of Jongin?”

 

Chanyeol’s eyes went up to look at Baekhyun, his eyebrows scrunched at the sudden mention of Jongin. “Hm, Jongin is cool, I guess. Why?” Chanyeol tilted his head, curious on why Baekhyun was suddenly asking him the question.

 

Baekhyun hummed at Chanyeol’s answer, flitting his eyes up to stare at Chanyeol. “What will you do, if Jongin suddenly asked you out?” Chanyeol perked up at the strange question, his eyebrows scrunched together as he tried to think of why Baekhyun was asking him that.

 

Perhaps.. did Jongin ask Baekhyun out?

 

“I.. I will refuse him, I guess. Because I don’t like him that way,” Chanyeol answered carefully, before grabbing a hold of Baekhyun’s hands in his. Chanyeol didn’t notice how Baekhyun subtly let out a relieved sigh at his answers.

 

“Why? Did he ask you out? Is that why you’re asking me this?”

 

Baekhyun’s eyes widened a bit at Chanyeol’s question, shaking his head fervently as he denied Chanyeol’s question. “No, no, that’s not it. I’m just asking you, because I’m curious.”

 

Chanyeol too breathed out a soft relieved sigh at Baekhyun’s answer, feeling his heart beating normally again. He didn’t even want to think if suddenly Baekhyun accepted someone’s confession and dated the person. Even imagining it made Chanyeol feel like his heart was shattering into pieces.

 

They both fell into a silence once again, only Toben’s barks were heard as the puppy tried to grab their attentions. But they were both were too occupied with each other’s thoughts to care about Toben for now.

 

“So, do you have someone that you like now?”

 

Baekhyun’s soft voice broke the silence once again, looking at Chanyeol with careful eyes, trying to gauge the latter’s expression. Chanyeol’s mouth was agape as he looked at Baekhyun, gulping the lump in his throat as he thought of the answer.

 

Should he say the truth? But, Chanyeol was not ready to confess. What if he said his true feelings towards Baekhyun and the latter didn’t like him that way? Wouldn’t it be awkward for them? As much as Chanyeol want to make Baekhyun his, he didn’t think he was strong enough yet to face the rejection and to lose Baekhyun.

 

Gulping once again, Chanyeol looked at Baekhyun as he fiddled with Baekhyun’s fingers that were still in his hands. “I.. I.. Um,” Chanyeol closed his eyes for a while before he decided to just divert the attention away from him. “Why are you asking me this? Do.. Do you have someone that you like?”

 

Baekhyun stared at Chanyeol’s face as he heaved a sigh, noticing that Chanyeol had evaded his question just now. Baekhyun could feel that Chanyeol had someone that he liked, because if not, he wouldn’t have evaded the question, right? But, who was the person that Chanyeol liked?

 

Baekhyun felt his heart ached.

 

If Chanyeol had someone that he liked, would he date the person? And leave Baekhyun after? Was Baekhyun ready to be pushed to the number 2 spot in Chanyeol’s heart? Baekhyun couldn’t deny his love for Chanyeol anymore. If he kept this feel inside him for a little longer, Baekhyun was sure that he would explode one day.

 

Taking in a deep breath, Baekhyun braved himself to look at Chanyeol’s almond-shaped brown eyes, deciding that it was now or never.

 

“Yes, I do have someone that I like.”

 

Chanyeol was taken aback by Baekhyun’s answer. He blinked several times as his shoulder drooped in disappointment, “O-Oh, you do?” Chanyeol felt his heart clenching in pain, averting his gaze away from Baekhyun’s when he felt the prickling feeling behind his eyes. “W-Who is it? Do I.. Do I know him?”

 

“Yes, you do. In fact, you know him so well.”

 

Chanyeol kept his gaze downward, not looking at Baekhyun’s eyes as he was afraid that Baekhyun could see the expression he was making right now. He unconsciously gripped hard on Baekhyun’s hands in his, feeling a lump starting to form at his throat as tears started to swell at the brim of his eyes. “O-Oh, I do? W-Who is it?”

 

Chanyeol’s eyes widened in panic when Baekhyun’s hands suddenly cupped his cheeks, lifting his face so that he was looking at Baekhyun. Baekhyun felt his heart clenched when he saw Chanyeol’s eyes getting red, tears welling in his big eyes.

 

Why would Chanyeol react like this? Was he sad at the thought of Baekhyun liking and dating someone? Or was he sad because Baekhyun liked someone that was not him?

 

With his heart in his throat, Baekhyun gave Chanyeol a small, nervous smile as he caressed Chanyeol’s cheeks with his thumbs. “You. I like you, Park Chanyeol.” Baekhyun watched as Chanyeol’s eyes widened in shock, his mouth was opened but nothing came out of his mouth.

 

Baekhyun could hear his own heartbeats in his ears as he said the words to Chanyeol. Baekhyun let out a shaky chuckle as he looked at the unresponsive Chanyeol, knowing that he might have ruined their perfect friendship.

 

But still, Baekhyun didn’t regret telling Chanyeol what he felt. Because now, a sense of relief had washed over him, making him feel a lot more lighter than when he had to conceal his feelings from Chanyeol.

 

“I.. I’m not asking you to reciprocate my feelings. I.. I just... want to let this out of my chest.” Baekhyun caressed Chanyeol’s cheek affectionately, gulping down the lump in his throat. “I know that I might have made things awkward between us but.. I can’t hold it any longer, Chanyeollie.”

 

“I.. I like you so much. I want to hold you, I want to hug you, kiss you, shower you with my love without restraining myself. You.. you are so precious to me. You make me crazy, Chanyeollie.” Baekhyun took Chanyeol’s hand in his, guiding Chanyeol’s palm over his beating chest. “You make my heart beat so fast that I’m afraid it will jump out of my chest.”

 

Baekhyun watched as a tear rolled down Chanyeol’s cheek, forcing down his own tears as he tried to flash Chanyeol a smile. “I like you so much, Chanyeol, that I can’t hold it in anymore. You make me feel all sorts of things, that I’m afraid I would explode soon if I don’t let everything out.”

 

Baekhyun waited for a response from Chanyeol – any word, any expression, anything at all – but Chanyeol just kept frozen as he was at first, still so much in shock as he stared at Baekhyun with his eyes wide open. Baekhyun could feel his heart shattering into pieces, knowing that he got no chance with Chanyeol, that he had ruined their relationship.

 

Releasing his hold on Chanyeol’s hand, Baekhyun pulled himself away from Chanyeol, his chest heaving as he tried to hold back his tears. “I’m.. I’m sorry, Chanyeollie. I’m sorry for dumping all my feelings on you like this, but..” Baekhyun looked down as he fiddled with his own fingers, “But, I’m not regretting falling for you. I like you, and I will always like you, Chanyeollie.”

 

He waited a bit more, hoping that Chanyeol would say something but when a minute passed without any response from Chanyeol, Baekhyun knew that he had no hope already. Baekhyun shut his eyes as the first tear started to roll down his cheek, fumbling to stand up from the floor, ready to go away from Chanyeol’s apartment.

 

But before Baekhyun got to walk away, he felt a big, cold hand enclosing around his wrist and tugging him softly to prevent him from leaving.

 

“Pl-Please, don’t go. D-Don’t leave me.”

 

Baekhyun took in a deep breath as he listened to Chanyeol’s soft and frail voice, huskier than usual as he was now crying. Baekhyun turned to look at Chanyeol, watching as the taller got up from the floor to tower over him but still looking so small and so soft that Baekhyun just wanted to hide him in his arms and never let him go.

 

“Don’t leave me, Baekhyunnie. I.. I..” Baekhyun reached out to wipe the tears that rolled down Chanyeol’s cheeks, smiling softly when the taller leaned into his touch. “You don’t have to say anything, Chanyeollie, I.. I’m fine with how we are right now. I won’t leave you.”

 

Baekhyun raised his eyebrows as Chanyeol shook his head fervently at his words, feeling his heart skip a beat when Chanyeol’s big palm covered his hand that was on Chanyeol’s cheeks. “No, I.. I like you too, Baekhyunnie. I like you too. So much.”

 

Baekhyun’s eyes widened as he saw Chanyeol’s protruding ears started to redden and Baekhyun could feel Chanyeol’s cheeks starting to warm up under his palm. Baekhyun’s mouth opened in shock and he stared hard at Chanyeol, fixing his stare on Chanyeol’s eyes. “Are.. Are you serious? You are not kidding me, right? You.. You didn’t say that just because you pity me, right?”

 

Baekhyun asked continuously, grabbing Chanyeol by his shoulders as he peered into Chanyeol’s eyes with hopeful gaze. Chanyeol let out an offended gasp at Baekhyun’s accusation, slapping him on his shoulder once as he whined. “Of course I am serious! I like you, Baekhyunnie, I like you so so so much that I’m-“

 

Chanyeol’s words were caught in his throat when Baekhyun suddenly pulled him close, their faces barely a centimeter apart. Chanyeol gulped down his saliva as his heart started to beat even faster, his eyes almost crossing as he tried to look into Baekhyun’s own droopy eyes.

 

“Can I kiss you, Chanyeollie?”

 

Chanyeol felt himself shiver a bit as Baekhyun’s warm breath fanned over his lips and with a heaving chest, Chanyeol nodded his head slowly, granting Baekhyun his permission. Baekhyun wasted no time and he quickly dove in, slotting his lips in between Chanyeol’s plump ones.

 

The gasp that Chanyeol let out was swallowed down Baekhyun’s lips as the elder pulled Chanyeol’s body flushed against him, tiptoeing as he moved his lips sensuously on Chanyeol’s. Chanyeol felt his head started to swim and went into a jumbled mess as he felt Baekhyun’s soft lips moving against his, softly as he savored the sweet taste of Baekhyun’s lips.

 

Chanyeol was almost in a delirious state and he didn’t even realise that he had chased over Baekhyun’s lips when the smaller pulled away from him as they both ran out of air. He heard Baekhyun letting out a small chuckle before he felt himself getting dragged over to his bed.

 

Chanyeol felt like he was on cloud 9, so high that he couldn’t register anything except from Baekhyun, Baekhyun, Baekhyun and Baekhyun. He didn’t even realise how did they end up being in that position – Baekhyun perched at the edge of the bed with Chanyeol straddling him – because he could only focus on the taste of Baekhyun’s lips on his.

 

Chanyeol let out a moan when Baekhyun’s hand crept into his shirt, his cold hand splayed on either sides of Chanyeol’s waist. Chanyeol felt himself getting lightheaded when Baekhyun used the chance of Chanyeol’s gasping mouth to his tongue inside Chanyeol’s mouth, groaning with a deep voice as he did so.

 

Chanyeol felt like himself was drowning in cold water, and the only thing that keeping him alive was Baekhyun. The younger wrapped his arms tight around Baekhyun’s neck, pushing his chest flushed against Baekhyun’s, louder when Baekhyun’s tongue brushed against the roof of his mouth.

 

“B-Baekhyunnie~”

 

Baekhyun groaned deep in his throat when he heard Chanyeol’s husky voice his name, his hold onto Chanyeol’s waist unconsciously tightened. Baekhyun pulled away from their kiss, enjoying how Chanyeol’s eyes were glazed with dark look and how his plump lips became even more swollen after being ravished by him.

 

Baekhyun couldn’t hold himself back from trailing kisses down Chanyeol’s jaw, feeling the stubbles on Chanyeol’s face against his lips before he went to leave small kisses on Chanyeol’s neck. The latter submissively stretched his neck to give way for Baekhyun, and gasping softly when Baekhyun bit on his sensitive spots.

 

Baekhyun then trailed kisses up to Chanyeol’s protruding ear, nibbling on the lobe and smirking when he felt Chanyeol shuddering in his arms. “I like you, Chanyeollie. I like you so much.” Baekhyun breathed the words into Chanyeol’s ears, the latter shuddering further as he felt Baekhyun’s warm breath fanning against his ear.

 

“Can I be your boyfriend, Chanyeollie?”

 

Even though he didn’t want to, Chanyeol still forced himself to pull away from Baekhyun’s lips to look at the elder in his eyes, a wide smile spreading on his face. Chanyeol cupped Baekhyun’s cheeks in his palms, his thumb caressing the mole on the corner of Baekhyun’s lips. He then leaned down to leave a kiss on Baekhyun’s cute button nose, purposely pulling away with a loud smack.

 

“Of course, you can, Baekhyunnie.”

 

Chanyeol felt his heart skipped a beat when Baekhyun’s lips stretched into a wide smile, his eyesmiles appearing as he planted his face in Chanyeol’s neck, his hold on Chanyeol’s waist tightening as he pulled Chanyeol flushed against his body. Chanyeol wrapped his arms tighter around Baekhyun’s neck, inhaling the vanilla scent of Baekhyun’s hair as they both swayed on the bed, the same wide smile on their faces.

 

Baekhyun then pulled away, his eyes shining bright as he looked up at Chanyeol and caressing Chanyeol’s sides. “I’m so ing happy right now that I could die,” Baekhyun muttered breathlessly, pulling out a laugh from Chanyeol. Chanyeol shook his head softly, “No, you can’t die yet. It’s not even 10 minutes after you become my boyfriend.”

 

Baekhyun giggled at Chanyeol’s words, feeling his chest swarming with flowers at the word ‘boyfriend’. He didn’t think he would live till the day he could call Chanyeol his boyfriend. “, I love you so much, Park Chanyeol.”

 

Baekhyun groaned out the words, enjoying the blush on Chanyeol’s cheeks before he pulled the younger into a kiss once again. Just as Baekhyun wanted to deepen the kiss, they sadly were interrupted with Toben, who suddenly jumped up on the bed and pawing at their sides.

 

Chanyeol laughed out loud when he heard the frustrated grumble that Baekhyun had let out. The younger then left a peck on Baekhyun’s lips, whispering an ‘I love you too’ against Baekhyun’s lips before climbing off his lap to pay his attention to Toben, earning excited barks from the puppy.

“Since when do you like me?”

 

Chanyeol hummed as he tried to think of the exact moment he started falling for Baekhyun. Chanyeol snuggled closer into Baekhyun’s chest, groaning in content as Baekhyun scratched his fingernails on his scalp comfortingly.

 

They both were cuddling on Baekhyun’s bed, both tired after their classes for the day. Sehun wasn’t there, so they still didn’t get the chance to tell the younger male about their status now. When Chanyeol told Baekhyun that he felt bad for not telling Sehun yet, Baekhyun just assured him that Sehun would know about them himself when the time comes.

 

“I think, I have been attracted to you since the start. If not, I wouldn’t have asked for your name and number.”

 

Baekhyun couldn’t help the smug smile that crept up his face, happy with the fact that Chanyeol had liked him since the start. Chanyeol looked up at the elder, scoffing when he noticed the smug smile. “What about you? When did you start liking me?”

 

Baekhyun looked down and stole a kiss from Chanyeol’s lips, “I don’t really know the exact moment, but,” Baekhyun brought a hand to trail a finger from his temple down to his chin before caressing Chanyeol’s lower lip with his thumb. “I think as we get close, I fell for your charms. You care too much about me, and you are the kindest and cutest person I’ve ever met. I guess those are the reasons  that make me likes you.”

 

Chanyeol bit his lip as he held back his squeal, feeling his heart soar high as  Baekhyun gazed at him so lovingly and affectionately. They both held onto each other’s gazes for some times before Chanyeol finally broke the stare to straddle Baekhyun and dove in to pull Baekhyun into a kiss.

 

Baekhyun hummed in contentment as Chanyeol moved his lips against him, they both smiling into the kiss as Chanyeol’s hands went to tangle into Baekhyun’s hair while Baekhyun’s hands came up to rest against Chanyeol’s slim waist. They both kept the kiss innocent for some times before Baekhyun finally lost control and flipped them both, so that he could fit himself between Chanyeol’s spread legs as he hovered over the younger.

 

Baekhyun wasted no time and went to kiss Chanyeol open-mouthed, enjoying the little gasps and moans that Chanyeol let out. Baekhyun’s hands started to wander inside Chanyeol’s shirt, splaying his hand over the span of Chanyeol’s abs before he brought his fingers to flick against Chanyeol’s hard , making Chanyeol arch his back as he moaned against Baekhyun’s mouth.

 

 

 

 

 

“What the ?!”

 

Sehun couldn’t stop the words from coming out of his mouth as he looked at the sight of his roommate getting on it in their room. But what was more shocking was the fact that Baekhyun was making out with Chanyeol, his so-called best friends.

 

Too shocked with Sehun’s presence, Chanyeol accidentally pushed Baekhyun away from him a little bit too hard, successfully throwing Baekhyun down straight to the floor, making the elder let out a loud groan.

 

“Oh my God, I’m so sorry, Baekhyunnie,” Chanyeol shrieked in surprise, hurrying down to the floor to help Baekhyun up again. Sehun who was watching at the door couldn’t help but to guffaw at the scene, earning himself a death glare from Baekhyun.

 

“That was fun to see, hyung. By the way, congrats on finally getting together. Never knew you had the ball to confess, Baek hyung.” Sehun smiled wickedly at Baekhyun, enjoying the annoyed look on the older male before turning around to get out of the room, giving the chance for the lovebirds to be alone. But the tall male peeked his head through the door again, a teasing smirk plastered on his face as he looked at his hyungs, “Don’t forget to use , hyungs!”

 

“ off, Oh Sehun!”

 

Baekhyun gritted his teeth as he threw a pillow towards the younger, feeling even more annoyed that the pillow didn’t even graze him. Sehun let out a very loud laugh as he walked away from his room, leaving an annoyed Baekhyun and a blushing Chanyeol back in the room.

 

Sehun shook his head as he thought that finally, he wouldn’t have to watch his two hyungs being idiots anymore.
