Chapter 3

( 7 years ago)

Baekhyun is having hard time to find a seat in the library because its the exam month. He had to book it a day before if he want a spot there but he couldn’t find any time since he’s been so busy and his schedule is very hectic that he didn’t have time to eat. Skipping meals has become his things nowadays and him being poor is a thing too.

“ what an unlucky day!” Baekhyun sigh deeply.

He was about to find a chair again but his phone suddenly rang so he quickly went out from the library. Baekhyun look at the caller ID.

'Chanyeollie❤️'

His boyfriend called.

' when did he change his name ?'

Baekhyun isn’t a romantic type, actually he doesn’t even know how to act romantic because Chanyeol is his first love and first boyfriend in his entire life while the taller not. Baekhyun is not used to things like this yet but Chanyeol is different. The taller keep flirting with him all day long even they’re together right now making him feel shy every moment they’re together . Let’s just say Baekhyun is romantically awkward..

“ oh Chanyeol-ssi.. do you need anything?” Baekhyun asks

“ not actually. I just miss you so much right now” Chanyeol said making the smaller blush and Baekhyun can clearly heard Chanyeol friend is teasing the taller making sounds.

“ shut the \*\*\*\* up you fucktard!” Chanyeol said to his friend, the smaller can’t do anything but just chuckled hearing his boyfriend getting annoyed by his friends behaviour.

“ Chanyeol-ssi” Baekhyun called.

“ yes dear?”

“ i miss you too” Baekhyun said, he’s shy.. extremely shy but he’s trying to be romantic for Chanyeol right now.

“ are you blushing right now?” Chanyeol ask from the other side.

“ no I did not” he lies.

“ where are you right now?” The taller ask.

“ hm? Me? I’m at the main library “ soon as he said that, Chanyeol suddenly cut the line making the smaller confused. He sigh and as soon as he turn around the taller suddenly stand in front of him making him startled a bit.

“ oh my!”

“ Chanyeol ssi? How can you... what... how?” Baekhyun is getting confused .

“ hye” Chanyeol smile showing his white teeth to the smaller.

“ hye again Chanyeol ssi” Baekhyun smiled.

“ oh that smile!” Chanyeol clench his heart. Baekhyun just smile enjoying his boyfriend being dramatic in front of him.

“ stop you’re making me shy!” Baekhyun hit Chanyeol arm lightly making the taller smile.

“ glad that I came!.. i get to see you blushing is really cute!!” the taller face and now Baekhyun face is red even more because of Chanyeol word.

“ Chanyeol I said warn me before you say anything like that!” The smaller said.

“ why should i? If i tell you you’ll be prepared and I’ll not get to see your blushing face!” Chanyeol said.

“ you’re frustrating me!” Baekhyun smack the taller chest.

“ and you’re making me fall for you even more” Chanyeol smiled happily while dragging the smaller away.

( end of flashback)

Baekhyun open his eyes slowly when he feel something wet on his forehead.

' chanyeol?'

His hope disappears when he sees Nameun is the one who’s busy taking care of him while sniffling. He smiled. At least someone care for him.

“ Nameun ah..” he called making the younger stops moving and look at him with teary eyes.

“ Baekhyun why don’t you call me.. I’m very shocked to see you lying down on the floor! I thought you were dead! You should’ve call me instead of enduring the pain alone!” Nameun said, crying.

“ hey lower your voice. He might hear you” Baekhyun says.

“ why do you care so much about him? Focus to yourself first” Nameun said.

“ Nameun we’ve talk about this.. you promise me” Baekhyun says in a weak voice.

“ I start to regret about the promise I made!” Nameun went out from the room just to found Chanyeol is standing in front of the door,listening to their conversations.

“ uhh I didn’t mean to eardrop you guys...” Chanyeol said as an excuse but receive a death glare from the girl before she go. Chanyeol turn to look at the weak body lying on the bed and go to him.

“ Baek are you okay?” Chanyeol asks

“ of course I did Chanyeol. Just a cold” Baekhyun said

“ it doesn’t look like it. Nameun seems mad”

“ ah.. she likes to be dramatic. She’s just a little protective toward me that’s why she’s mad but I’m totally fine” Baekhyun said trying to sound strong to the taller.

“ you think so?” Baekhyun nodded for the question.

“ Chanyeol, can we go somewhere later? I had a place in my mind..” Baekhyun said.

“ uhh right now?” The taller asks

“ no you idiot. Noon. I'm still sleepy right now maybe at 1?” And the taller nodded slowly. He’s about to go out from the room until Baekhyun calls him.

“ Chanyeol.” He turns around

“ yes?”

“ why are you still wearing your suit? You’ve wore it yesterday when you come here” he said

“ oh you see I didn’t expect you to make me stay here so I didn’t bring any clothes with me..” Chanyeol said but the latter smiled. Baekhyun gets up and went to his wardrobe.

“ did you forget? This place was your house too. Once.... but still, it’s your house.” Baekhyun took out some shirt and hand it to Chanyeol .

Why would he keep all these shirts?

“ okay now mister, go bath or we’re not going out today! I’m sensitive to smell and you know that! Go go go” Baekhyun said as he push the taller out of his room. He close the door and look at the mirror . He’s crying.

.....

Chanyeol wore the shirt Baekhyun give him and look at himself in the mirror . it’s him but it felt different . He look like a guy from 7 years ago who's cheerful and happy 24/7 but he isn’t now. He change through the years and he did not notice that until he stand in front of the mirror looking at himself now.

Why would you keep this shirt with you Baek?

He thought to himself. Baekhyun could have thrown it years ago since he’s not here but the smaller didn’t . Chanyeol shake his head and went out from the room. The house is still the same the way he leaves it,he plan to take a walk around the neighbourhood for a while so he did. While walking around , he met his old neighbor Sehun and Luhan.

“ oh is that Chanyeol?” The small guy point at him. Chanyeol didn’t want to be rude so he greet them back.

“ hey man long time no see” Sehun said

“ yeah. You too” Chanyeol said

“ how’s Seoul?” Sehun asks

“ same. Busy. Heavy workloads” Chanyeol answer halfheartedly. He know Sehun and Luhan but he didn’t met them for years and it was awkward.

“ I thought you and Baekhyun already divorce?” Luhan suddenly said making him flinched a bit.

“ honey! That’s rude” Sehun said to his wife

“ what? I’m asking him the fact! He didn’t return here for years and all the neighbourhood is bad mouthing him!” Luhan said

“ huh? People are bad mouthing him?” Chanyeol asks

“ yeah well you didn’t return for years and people think you have an affair while working at Seoul leaving the poor Baekhyun alone and—“ before Luhan could continue his word, Sehun cut his wife talk and tell Luhan to get Vivi at their house and now only leave Sehun and Chanyeol standing there awkwardly

“ ay man sorry about him. You know his mouth.. but please don’t take it to the heart . He didn’t mean it” Sehun said

“ yeah”

“ how you doing man? You were out of contact and we all couldn’t reach you” Sehun said

“ sorry dude I’ve been so busy these years” Chanyeol said

“ yeah of course you did. It’s not easy to manage a big company right?” The taller nodded slowly .

“ listen. whatever happens, i got your back okay? Sorry couldn’t stay long. Luhan is waiting for me. Today is our 10th anniversary.” Sehun said happily .

“ wow. 10 already? Congrats man” Chanyeol said

“ thanks dude. Our love never change the way it is. I just love him so much”

“ Sehun “ Chanyeol called

“ yep?”

“ can I ask you something?” Chanyeol ask

“ sure”

“ how’d you manage to keep your love with Luhan for years? Don’t you ever feel bored? Or your love didn’t disappear?”

“ man I would never feel bored with Luhan. He’s the love of my life. I mean .. I know he’s the one when I met him for the first time. Arguing between couple is normal but it depends on how you handle it. If you make an effort ,it stays but if you don’t .. it’ll fade away.” Sehun said. Sehun word just like a knife that went through Chanyeol heart.

“ ey man. Wish I could stay a bit longer but I don’t want Luhan to wait for me. Gotta go. Bye” Sehun excuse himself and went away, leaving Chanyeol alone on the bench look at the sky.
