The next week went by in various activities Baekhyun had almost forgotten about school , he did not feel comfortable to join his previous school due to various reasons , he was not prepared to go back to same faces after the aftermath of numerous trials and months of living  in an  orphanage . This year would have been his second half of the second year of middle school but since a lot of things happened in the middle and none of the schools take new admissions in the middle of the session, he had no choice but to start over his 2^nd  year of middle school at a new school , While Chanyeol was in second year of high school one of the important grades , He was most likely to get very busy with studies plus the late night study sessions at school .

Enrolling at new school meant a whole load of shopping including  books,clothes and in his case since he was the new member of the Park household, he underwent various rounds of shopping which had never done before, he had never imagined Hyung to be such a shopaholic, he was uncontrollable

Chanyeol introduced Baekhyun to one of his close friends ,Oh Sehun , who specially wanted to meet Baekhyun, more like who was the little guy  who made Chanyeol beg on his knees . Baekhyun being the introvert he was , was extremely confused of the impression he made on Hyung’s friend –Sehun who was widely misunderstood as rude individual due to his resting face expression , but he was plain polite and  made sure not keep Baekhyun out of loop of the conversations they were having .

Soon it was his first day at the new school , he was very nervous yet happy for the new beginnings , he felt shaky walking up to the class podium when the teacher called him to introduce himself , he tried to be confident by looking at the class notice board behind the students , just to give his intro smoothly .

“Alright Baekhyun, go take you seat next to Do Kyungsoo”

Baekhyun had had been too shocked at the familiarity of name he had not expected the person to be the same Kyungsoo he had known until he saw his friend softly smiling and waving at him

He couldn’t be more happier that he almost jogged to the seat assigned to him “Kyungsoo-ya , What are you doing here !”

Kyungsoo giggled causing his shoulders to shake and his big doe eyes to crinkle behind the square- framed glasses

“I could ask you the same !”

The two friends gushed over the fact that they had got a home in the same city  and now they were in the same school . Baekhyun felt finally the life he had always wanted to live was finally coming together piece by piece completing the puzzle he had been lost in , he couldnt help but feel grateful at the coincidences taking place .He had always been the person who preferred familiar -ness over  any other situation

He was glad to meet his close friend who made his time at New Hope House bearable all this while.

Once week was over, the Director had called in to check on Baekhyun just like how Mr. Park had informed him, she was very happy and satisfied with the result of how things happened to be , The Parks where then further allowed to keep the smaller for the time to come with some regular impromptu  check -ups in between until he had matured .

Baekhyun had developed a routine, from home to school and then back home , Chanyeol had a heavy schedule as well, but he always made sure to have chat with Baekhyun, how his day had been, how many he friends he made at school mostly everything.

Chanyeol made sure to give all the attention and treatment Baekhyun should’ve been given from the very beginning , he had noticed how awestruck the smaller behaved at the smallest of things which made more soft , Baekhyun had considerably undergoing change , he seemed more comfortable with his lifestyle and with him unlike how awkward and sullen  he used to be

But there was one this which had been bothering Chanyeol was Baekhyun’s  inability to sleep at the right hour, well he did not mind the little yellow light till late hours, but it would affect the smaller since , he would end up feeling drowsy during the school hours . He tried waking up along with him till  he would finally fall asleep holding the novel , his sleep inducer

But he failed to stay awake for that long , he thought he would tuck in Baek  he didn’t expect the opposite to take place .

“Hyung” Baekhyun called Chanyeol, who was at the other side of the bed on his desk , tidying his desk before settling at his bed to stay up night long with the smaller

“Hmm, Baek” Chanyeol responded sitting on this bed facing Baekhyun

“Hyung, I think you should sleep in tonight …I don’t wanna keep you up cause of me” stated Baekhyun slowly

“But uh”

“ I’ve been sleeping in this style for quite a time now” he said raising his eyebrows

“But , Baekhyunnie don’t you think you will get sleepy at school if you don’t sleep on time”

“I do get sleepy actually , I want to be able to sleep properly “ said Baekhyun placing his novel on his desk as lay on his side facing Chanyeol

“Haven’t you tried some other method you know other than reading”

“Umm no, I’ve had very limited options" 

“Hmm, Uh what about drinking warm milk , kids usually fall asleep faster with that method”

“Hyung ! but  I’m not a kid..” Baek replied whining at the comment “But I’ve tried that , it didn’t work  rather it awakened my senses even more “

“Lol, okay how about we try Incense sticks or scented candles or something” Chanyeol suggested it was a little funny, but he tried to avoid smiling , more like the elder wanted to make the other laugh  since it suited him so much

“Incense sticks “ Baekhyun stated almost snorting , but he making  a funny expression “who uses that stuff for this”

The quest to find Baekhyun’s sleep inducer had officially begun …
