Final

Of Stars and Gemstones

Park Chanyeol had a thing for Byun Baekhyun's neck.

 

 

Whether it was with or without accessories, he always aimed that neck or just stared at them. Baekhyun surely wasn't the one who had the slender neck in his group, but he found Baekhyun's neck interesting (perhaps because it had different aura or Chanyeol was too infatuated with the way Baekhyun stretched his neck every time he felt tired--well, he was spent). The old Chanyeol would always try to snatch his hand to Baekhyun's neck--especially his lovely and sensitive nape--and made Baekhyun squirmed and shrugged his hand away. Later, Baekhyun didn't allow him to do such thing because their managers scolded them for being 'too passionate' in public.

 

 

Ha-ha, they were dating, yeah. So, better not to add any fuel to the flame.

 

 

Baekhyun, on the other hand, was growing accustomed to the way Chanyeol silently adores his neck. He was pretty sure all of his group mates had y neck, too (yeah, y neck), including Chanyeol. He hadn't said this to Chanyeol, tho. Heck, he would never ever admit that the taller's neck had something to do with the shiver running down his spine. Sometimes, he just wanted to attack Chanyeol's neck with his hand just like the way he attacked his nape, making him jolt in surprise. The tickling sensation, to be honest, was surprisingly good even if it made his stomach squirmed in a weird way. He liked that feeling Chanyeol's hand made to his neck, but usually he would never admit it in the first place.

 

 

He wouldn't let anyone know his for Chanyeol's hand on his neck, including Chanyeol.

 

 

That was why he chose to agree to their managers' order for not being touchy in front of their fans. It was harder at first--Baekhyun wasn't good at avoiding Chanyeol without making him frown. However, he tried to shoot him pleading expression, and it usually worked. Baekhyun had never been this glad to have an understanding friend--in this case, boyfriend--like Chanyeol.

 

 

 

 

 

That was a time when Chanyeol felt jealousy hitting him right in the gut, and it involved Baekhyun's neck. One of the make-up artist noona found out that everyone loves Baekhyun's neck. When he said everyone, then it was everyone. Their other group mates seemed to notice something interesting in his boyfriend's neck. Then coordi noona was whispering something and later, makeup artist noona came up with an idea of making Byun Baekhyun's neck a bit more attractive than usual.

 

 

"He is famous for his popping neck vein. Why don't we try to add something to make it ier?" The makeup artist noona hummed to herself but it still could be heard by other members. Chanyeol turned his head abruptly right when Junmyeon hyung and Tao was nodding eagerly in unison, making the taller male clenched his fist on the armrest.

 

 

"He will attract people's attention. You know, our fans are having things for his neck area," Junmyeon hyung chuckled casually, and Chanyeol tried his best not to punch the table in front of him.

 

 

"What do you think, Baek? I will put these little stars on your right neck." That noona waved a little box full with fake stars in it in the latter's face. Chanyeol didn't know what Baekhyun said or did (he didn't utter a single word so Baekhyun might be nodding or something), but after a while all he heard was their noona's happy squeal and other members' awe. Chanyeol suddenly tensed up.

 

 

"Yay! Our Baekhyunnie is going to make fans going crazy tonight! Ah, so happy--what to do?!" She kept squealing on Chanyeol's ear, or so Chanyeol thought, and he had never felt this irritated before. Baekhyun knew what the reason behind his boyfriend's sudden quietness and he could sense the anger that emitted from his expression.

 

 

"I-It's not, Noona. Fans are going crazy because of us all, not only me." He tried to speak down-to-earth, didn't expect Chanyeol's mocking snort at all. Junmyeon tilted his head towards Chanyeol's direction at the same time the tall man standing from his chair. "I'm going to get ready first. Thanks, noona." As hard as he tried to get rid of his emotion, Baekhyun could still recognize it. Walking as fast as he could in the hallway, Chanyeol stormed out from the changing room without Baekhyun to follow him suit.

 

 

He failed to witness Baekhyun's sad expression while looking at his walking silhouette right after he left.

 

 

 

 

 

Baekhyun, in Chanyeol's opinion, was always endearing. Even with or without make up on, he had never failed to make Chanyeol's heart skip a beat just by looking at him. He, surely, was the definition of beauty itself. Sometimes, Baekhyun told him to stop saying such a sappy thing like how beautiful Baekhyun was comparing to any girl he had ever met (or even ever dated), but Chanyeol refused to listen to him this time. He couldn't tell any lie, so that was everything he could say to his lover.

 

 

It wasn't that Baekhyun didn't want to be told beautiful by Chanyeol. It was the insecurity that matters. In Baekhyun's eyes, Chanyeol was the one whose face was going to put an angel to a shame. Despite his pointy ears and big eyes, he was really the definition of beauty. Baekhyun was like an average Korean boy—small, beady eyes, thin lips, and button nose, short composure comparing to Chanyeol's height—so he couldn't tell why Chanyeol said such things to him, about beauty and others.

 

 

It was not long after the 'stars on the neck' incident that Chanyeol found out they stucked in the fitting room again, preparing to attend a Music Award. Instead of Baekhyun, the tall man turned his head to his left side only to be stared back by Sehun's boring eyes. Chanyeol snorted, ready to move his gaze to Baekhyun's direction when Sehun whacked him with a bundle of magazines. Chanyeol groaned.

 

 

"What's wrong with you, man?! I don't have any business with you," he his aching muscles while glaring at his junior. He kept on looking for Baekhyun's whereabouts and got hit again by Sehun. "Ouch! This brat--!" Chanyeol was about to punch Sehun's right arm when suddenly Baekhyun poked his shoulder and beamed brightly at him.

 

 

"Yeollie, what do you think about my neck accessories?"

 

 

Baekhyun tilted his neck to the side,  showing more of his left neck to Chanyeol and Sehun who gasped in unison as they found out what things planted in Baekhyun's left neck until beneath his ear.

 

 

"What are those things, Baek?"

 

 

"This is called gems, make-up noona wants me to wear neck accessories again like the last time," he said while grinning. Chanyeol freezed for a while before clearing his throat and nodded.

 

 

"That suits you well."

 

 

Baekhyun sensed something odd by the way Chanyeol said his compliment this time. He didn't mean to think bad about Chanyeol, but it sounded different in his ears. Baekhyun didn't say anything after that, only managing to shoot a smile at him and waved at him cheerily. "Okay then, see you outside." Chanyeol knew that Baekhyun could hear his unpleasant tone before, but he tried not to think of it much. They were almost ready to enter the big hall when suddenly Chanyeol hoped right beside Baekhyun and claimed his spot. He wouldn't let anyone sitting nor standing on Baekhyun's left side because of the damn gems. Unfortunately, Baekhyun chose to sit in the end row of the round table they sat in, clearly showing off his sparkling neck to everyone.

 

 

Stupid Baekhyun.

 

 

Yet he still felt relieved because it was him sitting right beside Baekhyun on his left side, while no one sat on his right side. He was sure everyone would notice the gems that lining up his neck, drawing more attentions from others. Chanyeol didn't like this part.

 

 

His thought was suddenly interrupted by Baekhyun's question and Chanyeol swiftly turned his head to the latter's direction. "They didn't fall, did they?" Chanyeol solemnly shoke his head and went back to his own thinking. He was still thinking about that (even if he didn't show it in public because of his cute acts) when Baekhyun hurriedly leaned toward Chanyeol to whisper something. "How about you help me taking these gems later in men's rest room? I don't usually allow anyone to help me taking off accessories from my neck. You wouldn't mind, would you?" The blond boy grinned briefly before turning his head to the stage, leaving Chanyeol to deal with his skipping heart alone.

 

 

If it involved Baekhyun's neck, then he wouldn't mind at all.***


P.S : Firstly, I want to apologize to all of my subbies (especially chaptered fics subbies) for not being able to update any of those fics since long time ago. It’s not that I’m abandoning other stories—I have tried to write some of the drafts but my writing mood was gone in no time. I really feel sorry for my lack of creativity later but I’ll still try to update them. This story practically was made with bored mood (that’s why this looks lame) but I hope you still enjoy this crappy thing (and alson unbetaed)  - Re
