Baekhyun once promised Chanyeol that if he ever left, he would wait for him. Yet, Baekhyun never believed Chanyeol would leave. When Chanyeol proves him wrong and decides to disappear from his life forever, his life turns into an agonising period of waiting. As minutes turned into hours; hours into days; days into months, he's continuously haunted by the spirit of emptiness; an abyss in his very heart. He doesn't know if he can ever recover from it; he believes he wouldn't ever. And maybe, just maybe, he would be right.

“If pain must come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him.”
