“Oh Chanyeol hyung, finally! Baekhyun hyung’s been looking for you,” Sehun says in relief when he sees Chanyeol stepping out of his sneakers. The older boy has just arrived after finishing his individual schedule with Xiumin and Chen.

“Huh? Does he need something from me?” Chanyeol tiredly asks. He’s been getting more individual schedules than the other members lately, but he himself doesn’t know why. He’s thankful for that, of course, but he also hates it because one’s body has its own tiredness limit and so does his.

Sehun just shrugs his shoulder off and pouts like a kid he is. “I don’t know, but Baekhyun hyung looked... down. Did you guys fight, hyung?”

Chanyeol raises his eyebrows as he recognizes whose song it is even from its intro. He glances down at Baekhyun’s iPod and sees the shorter boy has set the song on loop. “A Pink’s “NoNoNo”? Seriously?”

Baekhyun frowns and puts his finger on his lips, telepathically telling Chanyeol to just listen to the song.

(to make it better, please listen to this)

Don’t be sad no no no, you’re not alone no no no

You always became a light for me

Hold my hand, come and lean on me

I’ll always be your strength

Baekhyun takes Chanyeol’s hands in his and the rapper just cluelessly titls his head to the side.

You came to me when I was struggling

You softly came to m
