"He offered her the world. She said she had her own."

- Monique Duval

With the sky a colour of black ink, the stars were especially bright with the moon accompanying them with its majestic white gleam. It was a beautiful night that God had offered indeed, but it was quite depressing for Byun Baekhyun to be in awe of the sight, when in fact, he was mourning over heartbreak.

Jung Hana was her name. She was the one who had trampled all over Baekhyun’s fragile heart with no consideration of his feelings whatsoever. She was a heartbreaker. But even so, Baekhyun had loved her. She was the first to make his heart flutter, to make the surface of his skin tingle with delight every time their skin touched, to make his heart beat at an abnormally fast rate, to make him feel loved by the opposite gender (excluding his mother, of course.) But above all, she was the first to break his heart. That alone was something Baekhyun could never forget, and possibly, never get over.

In all honesty, Byun Baekhyun was quite the womanizer. Many couldn’t understand how he was able to woo the female population, especially if it was someone as popular and as gorgeous as Jung Hana. Perhaps it was due to the fact that his dorky smile and God-given voice were characteristics many girls found attractive.  But other than that, Baekhyun was an average guy with an average face, an average build, and a (slightly) below average height.

Sighing, Baekhyun swung himself on the hammock that was attached to the branches of an oak tree out on front of the Byun household. What have I done wrong? He thought miserably. After a long moment, he mentally pushed away the thought as he had no answer and slowly began to count the stars that twinkled above, absentmindedly. He was so lost in his mini activity that he was unaware of the fact that his best friend, Park Chanyeol, was approaching him with his trademark grin.

“Hey, Baek,” Chanyeol greeted meekly.  

Baekhyun jumped slightly in the hammock and nearly fell flat on his face, if not for Chanyeol’s rescue. He groaned in misery, finally cracking emotionally, and covered his face in his hands as he settled himself on the moist green grass along the bark of the tree stump. Out of fustration, he began to pound his hands on the ground childishly.

Even as his best friend, Chanyeol had never seen Baekhyun act so… immature before, so he didn’t know what to possibly do with Baekhyun. In the end, he decided on to sit next to him, rubbing small circles on his back awkwardly, in attempt to sympathize.

“Listen,” Chanyeol started. “Although I have never gone through heartbreak as devastating as yours, I think I know what can cheer you up.” Baekhyun turned his head to give Chanyeol a sour look and stubbornly looked away. “It will be fun. I promise.” Chanyeol added, poking Baekhyun on the side of his stomach. Baekhyun grimaced and swat his freakishly large hand away. “Okay, okay. Just stop touching me.” He whined.

“We should go on a road trip across the country!” Chanyeol finally exclaimed.

After a long moment of silence, with only the sound of the wind and music of the crickets heard, Baekhyun finally reacted. “What the hell?” Baekhyun mumbled, reaching his hand to flick Chanyeol on the forehead. “Are you ing stupid?” And with the final remark, Baekhyun only shook his head in amusement and chuckled. “Road trip? Road trip my .” He said under his breath.
