Chanyeol POV

“Can you play guitar for me?” He said with a fading tone along with soft sobs; my breath was cut off; the way he looked at me with those lonely, teary eyes broke my heart; he bit his lower lip to suffocate his cries and looked down and gasped for air; slowly, I bent by his level; my heart was burning; I just wanted to kill myself at the moment; I wrapped my arm around his shoulders to help him standup

“Get up …” I said with a very low tone and it was more like a whisper; he looked at me again with his teary eyes and slowly moved himself to standup along with me still holding on his shoulders gently

I opened the apartment door and lead him inside; I didn’t have any plans to talk to him at the moment since he asked me to play guitar that means he’s having a hard time but still doesn’t want to talk about it so I got the clue and kept quiet for the time being; I really wanted to scold him for worrying me to death; I wanted to scold him for staying outside in the cold, rainy weather

He was looking down the whole time while being lead by me to my room; gently, I sat him down on my bed; I brought the bed cover and wrapped it around him making him warm and he just stayed still looking down; I went to the kitchen and came back quickly with a warm green tea; I placed it next to him on the nightstand and looked at him, he still didn’t move a strip of hair; I brought my guitar and sat beside him; I glanced at him again and he was still looking down with teary eyes

Baekhyun POV

He guided me to his room while holding onto my shoulders firmly; I felt warm yet pain; I felt safe yet scared; he sat me down on his bed gently and I didn’t raise my blurry eyes even once and kept looking at the ground; he brought a cover and put it around me warming me and brought a warm drink and placed it next to me; I can feel his eyes on me; he sat next to me and adjusted the guitar on his lap; he looked at me again then his fingers started playing the strings softly

Tears rushed madly to my eyes when he started playing my favorite song; he knows it always calm me down; my heart tightened painfully and I felt it’ll burst out at the moment; I could hardly breathe as tears chocked me; slowly I shifted my teary eyes and looked at him playing the guitar and all his cold, scary gazes and harsh words occupied my thoughts

‘Let’s break up.’

‘I’m breaking up with you so … Stay away from me’

I looked at him while the soft music echoed all over the place; I swallowed trying not to spill any tears in front of him but failed as a tear managed to escape; the pain in my heart was getting sharper and sharper as his hurting words wouldn’t disappear from my mind; I stood up all of a sudden and put down the cover from my back; I was about to storm out of his room

“Baek …” he said and held my wrist firmly; I didn’t look back and kept facing the door; I didn’t want to look at him; I hated him; I wanted to hit him; I wanted to tell him how much I was in pain because of him; I wanted to tell him that my heart hurts so much that I could die right now; I sniffed and wiped off the tears and looked back at him with a smirk; I was trying hard to look tough in front of him; I didn’t want him to think that I can’t live without him because I can … right?

“I look pathetic right?” I said with a slightly steady voice and the smirk disappeared from my face; he looked at me straight in the eyes still holding my wrist firmly

“What am I doing here anyway?”

“You suddenly changed and became cold and cruel making my heart aches; you misunderstood things yet you didn’t give me a chance to explain …” I said and my voice cracked

“You gave me your coldest stare and hurtfully spat harsh words in my face because you thought I was cheating on you …” I said with a slight angry tone

“… with Kris?” I continued with a fainting voice

“Baekhyun I-“

“Forget it Chanyeol …” I cut him off; I just didn’t want to hear anything from him; it’s too late to hear any of his explanation 

“You didn’t trust my love to you; how are you expecting me to trust you with my heart again? Huh? You wouldn’t even know how much it hurts even if you died and lived again” I said with a hurt tone and my lower lip started trembling

“Baekhyun …” he said and I could clearly see the tears in his eyes

“I’m sorry Chanyeol …”

“I can’t do this anymore …” I said with shaky, fainting voice as tears dropped; I looked at his slightly shocked eyes; I took my wrist out of his loosened grip now and stormed out of his place before I burst out crying; I held my palm up closer to my mouth to suffocate the sound of my sobs and went of the house

“BAEKHYUN! Baekhyun wait!! ” I heard him calling me with a panicked tone but still continued walking fast; it was raining heavily outside

Chanyeol POV

I kept calling his name out loud but he wouldn’t stop; I ran after him; I hurriedly got out of the house

“Baekhyun!!” I called out again but he fastened his pace; it was raining heavily; I stopped and stepped back again while turning frequently to see if he’s planning to stop anytime soon but he didn’t seem to stop and kept walking farther

“Aisshhh! Baekhyun! Just wait!” I mumbled as I head back to the house and grabbed a jacket and an umbrella quickly and stormed back out of the place to catch up with him

Baekhyun POV

I fastened my pace as I kept hearing his deep voice getting nearer and nearer; I kept wiping the tears that were mixed up with rain angrily

“After all what you did why are you looking at me with those sad eyes?” I said upset still walking faster to be away from him

“You didn’t give me a chance to explain and hurt me! now you are expecting me to just understand and say its fine?” I continued spiting the words angrily

“I felt sick while trying to come up with excuses that you are in a bad mood; maybe you are mistaken something! No? He’s probably playing a silly prank on me! I was crazy aren’t I?” I said and wiped my wet lips with the back of my palm

“I’ll never ever trust you again and I’ll not forgive you so stop following me alread-“ I said and turned around angrily but soon froze in my place when he wasn’t there; he wasn’t behind me; tears stopped dropping and my eyes slightly widened

I looked around the place blankly as my eyes wondered around trying to find him but he was nowhere to be found; my chest tightened and my heart was beating so fast; I felt lost and scared; I swallowed hard and blinked continuously as my lost gazes fell dizzily to the ground; a sudden thunder noise echoed all over the dark streets startling me as I flinched and looked back up terrified while breathing heavily with my frightened eyes kept on wondering around the place slightly panicked

I heard soft steps coming toward me and slowly moved my head to the side till my eyes landed on him; he came out of his house running with a jacket and umbrella; my eyes softened and drowned with tears as he came closer and closer till he reached me

“Are you crazy Baekhyun!! Even if you are upset with me you shouldn’t walk under the heavy rain carelessly like this!!” He said with a scolding tone while putting the jacket on me and zipping it tightly and put on the jacket cap on my head and also tightened it to warm me

I kept looking at him silently with tears being over worried about me while he was panting hard the cold air; he was wearing a simple light V-neck shirt with a soaked slipper in his feet making him close to freeze

Chanyeol POV

I put my huge jacket on him and fully zipped it to warm him up; I kept scolding him while trying to catch my breath from running earlier when I suddenly heard him sob lightly; my hand stopped moving and my eyes slowly raised and looked at him looking down while crying silently

“Baekhyun …” I said slowly looking at him; he gazed at the side of the street while crying silently

“I …” He started but paused again crying silently; he gasped for air and continued

“ … don’t have the strength … to part with the people I love anymore …” his sobs trembled and slowly he moved his gaze fixing it into mine

“Can’t you be there when I turn around?” He said and I swallowed back the tears

“I’d wish that you would be always here with me and never disappear …” he said and his voice cracked while shedding tears silently; I kept quiet for a moment as only our  heavy breathes could be heard along with the heavy rain while still deeply looking into each other eyes with tears floating in there

“Is it …” I started and swallowed hard

“Is it okay if it’s me?” I said and looked carefully at his eyes that kept shedding tears

“Is it okay if I stay?” I said again and he nodded slowly

“Is it really okay if a guy like me … stays?” I said again with a little steady yet fainting tone and looked deeply into his lonely eyes and again he slowly nodded; I blinked off the tears as I looked away from his eyes and slowly got closer to him and brought his head closer to my burning chest and embraced him; I can feel hand tightly gripping on my shirt not wanting to let go

 “I’m sorry Baek … I’m so sorry” I whispered with a regretting shaky tone as I tightened the hug assuring him that I’ll not let go of him

I led him inside my apartment again and sat him back down on my bed and sat next to him; I held his hand and gently caressed it

“Take some rest Baek” I said softly and he looked at me and nodded slowly; I stood up but he held my hand

“Don’t go”

“Stay here … with me” he said softly

“Don’t worry Babe; I’ll be here by your side” I said as I took off  him the jacket and laid him down and covered him and laid beside him

“Have some sleep” I said brushing the bangs softly from his forehead; he turned to the side and wrapped his arms around my waist and put his head on my chest; I kept patting him gently to sleep; his eyelid were getting heavier

 “Chanyeol …” he said with soft, sleepy tone with his eyes closed

“Hmm?” I replied softly; he opened his eyes slowly and looked up meeting my eyes; he deeply gazed at it

“Thank you for holding on to me …” he said and my eyes softened to his gaze; I slowly moved my face closer to him and gently kissed him; I parted our lips and rested my forehead on his

“I Love you Baekhyun … “

“I Love you too Chanyeol …” 

THE END
