parkchanyeol: we promised not to talk about that anymore

 

byunbaekhyun: why did it take you a whole day to answer me

 

parkchanyeol: baekhyun, please. let's not talk about this

 

byunbaekhyun: i know you saw that text when i sent it.
the little 1 on the side of your name disappeared.
why do you keep pushing me away, chanyeol?
you can't just live avoiding the things you don't want to deal with.

 

parkchanyeol: i'm not...

parkchanyeol: pushing you away

 

byunbaekhyun: then what is it? you ing confessed first, you .

byunbaekhyun: and i was too flustered back then to notice anything,
and when i finally had the time to think, i thought maybe it could work out

byunbaekhyun: so i said i liked you too and then
asked you out, even. but what did you do?

byunbaekhyun: you told me you're going away to america.

byunbaekhyun: you ing make me realize my feelings
and then you just suddenly decide to disappear and act like
nothing happened at all.

byunbaekhyun: we're talking about this, okay?
we're going to figure this out.
i hate having to wait until our conversation hints at that idea
so we can start talking about it again. i'm tired of hiding, chanyeol.

byunbaekhyun: please just tell me how you feel so that i can move the on

byunbaekhyun: chanyeol
