Baekhyun did not know since when he felt the changes between Chanyeol and him.

He did not know since when Chanyeol showed initiative towards their conversation and he did felt that Chanyeol gave him the attention that he wanted.

Yes, he was greedy for the attention from Chanyeol.

Chanyeol began to talk to him more, keeping a look out from him too.

As usual, Baekhyun would came home late every weekends, as he would be busy partying away with his buddies.

As soon as he opened the door of his house, he saw a weak light at the corner of the living room.

He went closer to take a look.

It was Chanyeol.

Chanyeol was fast asleep on the sofa.

Is he waiting for me?

Baekhyun thought to himself.

He noticed that there was a half-read book on Chanyeol’s lap.

May be not afterall.

Baekhyun thought to himself.

He took the book up to see what Chanyeol was reading.

He was always curious about what was the content of the books that he read.

He turned the book and began reading.

Tears, the result of your emotions.

“What kind of title is this?”

Baekhyun muttered to himself quietly.

As he read on, he felt as if he knew more about Chanyeol.

Looking up from the book, he looked at Chanyeol’s face.

The serenity look on the sleeping face.

It was the first time he saw that on Chanyeol.

Normally, Chanyeol was like wearing a mask, hiding everything.

Baekhyun hated that.

Baekhyun reached out his hands and slowly traced the features on Chanyeol’s face.

Yes, his fingers did not touch the face at all.

That was enough.

He thought to himself.

He put down his hands and put the book back to its original position.

Before he went back to his room, he turned and looked at Chanyeol again.

“Good night.”

He said softly.

After Baekhyun went in and closed the door, Chanyeol slowly opened his eyes.

He did not know how to describe his feeling at that moment.

All he knew was he could felt his heart racing as Baekhyun’s fingers were near his face.

He could felt as if those fingers were really touching him.

“Why?”

He thought to himself as he placed held his hands near his chest.

✈

“Did you follow what I told you to do?”

His mother asked Chanyeol.

Chanyeol looked down on the floor as he nod his head.

“Good.”

His mother smiled.

Sometimes, Chanyeol was thinking whether he was his mother’s son.

His mother always cared for Baekhyun more than himself.

“You must take good care of Baekhyun. Treat him as your priority.”

His mother ordered.

Chanyeol held back his tears and continued to stare at the floor.

“Yes, mother.”

Chanyeol replied.

“Good.”

His mother said again.

That was meant to be a secret in between them.

But they did not know that behind the door of the study room, Baekhyun had actually heard everything.

Baekhyun did not mean to overhear everything.

He needed to pee urgently and found Chanyeol not in the bed.

He walked out from the room and saw the study room lit up.

It was a natural reaction for a human to find out what was going on.

Baekhyun did not mean to overhear everything.

“That is why…”

Baekhyun thought to himself and walked away.

Everything Chanyeol did was just merely instructed by his mother.

Hah, what more could I expect?

Baekhyun thought to himself.

Baekhyun felt as if Chanyeol was not the one he used to know.

Or may be, he did not even understand Chanyeol at all.

Right from the beginning.

He laughed at himself.

He closed the bathroom door behind him.

Tears began to flow out uncontrollably.

Baekhyun really thought that Chanyeol had decided to accept him.

But all was just merely instructed.

Chanyeol just followed.

He felt his heart throbbing in pain.

He could not describe how he felt at that moment.

It was all artificial.

Nothing was real.
