Subject: So sorry

man I’m so sorry omg I heard my phone ping bc of ur email but then I went into the meeting room and then after I had so much to do and I completely forgot to reply u :((((( I’m so sorry are u okay tho??? aaaaaaa I wish I could’ve been there for u I know how it feels to not have anyone to talk to about stuff :/

also SIA is something that has been on my mind but I’ll think about it lol and no you don’t really make me feel uncomfortable haha

Baekhyun sighs. He knows Chanyeol didn’t mean to ignore him, but he still can’t help but be annoyed at both himself and Chanyeol. Annoyed at himself for being so petty over something no one has control over, and annoyed at Chanyeol for, well, not replying when Baekhyun needed him to. Baekhyun can acknowledge that it’s an irrational anger, but it doesn’t stop him from feeling like this.

It’s amazing how they’ve bonded in a week, and Baekhyun fears he’s getting too attached to a guy he’s never met. It’s always been like this: meet someone, fall too fast, heartbreak.

“You don’t even know him, for God’s sake,” he mumbles to himself, closing the email. Staring at his assignment, he decides to just focus on his project instead of replying.

It doesn’t last long before he picks up his phone to reply because god damn he’s lonely, and his finger hovers over the reply button for a good 10 seconds before he thinks, to hell with it. He’s only talking to the guy, not making wedding plans. He shouldn’t feel g
