…… …

Baekhyun woke up after a sleep. He realized that Chanyeol wasn't there so he thought that he might have been out in the living room. He stretched his arms wide and slumped in the bed. He looked around and noticed that the room was dark. He stood up and felt on the wall for switch. And once he found one, he turned it on.

He went back to the bed and checked his phone. So far, his parents haven't texted or called yet but he knew that no too long, they will. He wondered what will he say to his parents after ditching class. He knew he would be grounded for that. Well, he didn't push through the thought and instead looked at the time and noticed that he slept for 3 hours. Wow! That was a long rest.

He put his phone back on his pocket and decided to check on Chanyeol. He stood up and opened the door slowly. He peeked outside only to see the living room empty. He looked through the kitchen and saw Chanyeol. But it wasn't just him, he was with a woman who looks older than him but her height was shorter compared to his. Her face had a small similarity to Chanyeol's but her ears and her eyes were different to his. On to the other side of the kitchen, was a guy who was older than him too and he wore an office suit, which gave Baekhyun a hint that he was from work. He also had a similarity to Chanyeol only that his eyes and his nose were different.

That's when he realized that they were Chanyeol's parents. He quickly closed the door slowly and went to Chanyeol's bathroom and locked it. He slumped to the door and looked around. He was beginning to panic. No, he was already in panic. He found a mirror and looked at there. He fixed his hair and uniform properly. He didn't know why, but he was nervous but at the same time, he was also excited to the fact that he's going to meet Chanyeol's parents. He washed his face with water and dried it with the towel near the sink. He properly tied his neck tie and then patted his uniform to look a little less crinkled. After that, he gave himself a final glance at the mirror and was happy at the result. He then went ouside the bathroom and noticed Chanyeol slumping at the bed, playing with his feet and heads down. He closed the bathroom door and made Chanyeol stand up. "Hey, dinner's ready already."

"Me?"

"No, the bathroom," he said sarcastically, "What do you expect, of course it's you."

"So?" Baekhyun was pissed but his nervousness got him even more.

"So, I need you to go back to the bathroom and stay there while we eat dinner. Would that be fine?," Chanyeol said once again with a tone of sarcasm making Baekhyun roll his eyes.

"You bastard."

Chanyeol chuckled and went outside but Baekhyun grabbed his hand, "L-let's go out together."

Chanyeol nodded and they both went outside.

"Oh hey! I guess you're Baekhyun. Chanyeol talks about you a lot." Chanyeol's mom giggle and Baekhyun just smiled in confusion.

"I swear I shouldn't have told you anything." Chanyeol mumbled which Baekhyun didn't get.

Chanyeol's dad went over and greeted him, "Hello Baekhyun nice to meet you already."

Baekhyun was now wondering how have they knew it was Baekhyun but as what Chanyeol's mom said, Chanyeol talkd about him a lot. He tried not to make it a big deal but as he was trying, he was failing. He smiled uncontrollably and bowed down slightly to Chanyeol's parents. "Uhmm, I guess I need to go, my parent might be worried sick already."

"Well... We were about to invite you to dinner. But I guess, you need to explain to your parents." Chanyeol's dad chuckled.

Baekhyun just nodded and they both went outside.

"Ey, do you want a ride or something?" Chanyeol asked.

"Well, I.. Yea... I'll have a ride."

Chanyeol mentally jumped. He wanted some time alone with Baekhyun but he knows it just a matter of time, but that didn't really matter as long as he could be with Baekhyun for a little while. He went to the garage and got his car. Baekhyun went in and they both drove off.

The ride was comfortable. They keep talking about random stuffs and they haven't even noticed that they have passed Baekhyun's house already. Chanyeol, as much as he didn't want to, turned his steering wheel at the direction which leads to Baekhyun's house and continued straight again.

They have reached the destination already and Baekhyun went out but not before he bid his goodbye to Chanyeol. Baekhyun went inside already and Chanyeol drove after he made sure that Baekhyun had entered the house already.

Baekhyun went in, only to see his parent's faces furious. He took off his shoes and put it properly on its proper place. He bowed slightly to his parents and was about to go up, only to be stop by his mother, "And where do you think you're going? You've got some explanations to do."

Baekhyun faced them and began telling them the story. Baekhyun's mother keep on inserting between Baekhyun's explanation by a question and his father would always calm her down. Baekhyun finished telling them the story. He did not tell them that Chanyeol stood up and that's what caused him to fall down. He skipped that part of course, his parents especially his mother, would be in rage and he's afraid that she would stop him from seeing Chanyeol. After all, it was his fault for being careless.

"Good thing Chanyeol was there to help you or else you'll be a limping animal by now?" His dad said jokingly.

His mother still remained in her serious composure, "Next time, call us or text us of something happened to you. That way, we won't be that worried."

Baekhyun nodded and went to his room, closing the door behind him. He jumped on his bed and fished out his phone from his pocket, only to find nothing. He threw his phone on the bed and turned. He still wasn't sleepy because he had enough rest so he decided to just slack off in surfing. He browse the nets and opened his Instagram. He was bored after a short time so he closed his laptop.

"Baekhyun, honey, let's eat dinner already," Baekhyun's mom shouted from downstairs.

"Yeah, mom. Just wait a sec." He stood up and went downstairs and joined his parents. They began eating dinner and after he finished he went back to his room.

He went to his bed and pulled his covers over him. He suddenly remembered that he was under Chanyeol's arms the whole time he was sleeping and thus made Baekhyun's heart grew wild. He didn't know but he wanted it to stop. He knew what his heart meant but he didn't want to believe it. He keeps on telling himself that it didn't mean anything at all. He was in denial and he didn't want to admit that.

He didn't want to admit it even though he already knew what it meant. And this is because he can't accept it.
