The more time that slipped by, the more Baekhyun's feelings towards Chanyeol grew.

But of course he wasn't going to admit that, that's absurd!

And the more time that slipped by, the more Baekhyun began to worry on what these stupid fucking feelings actually were.

Sure, Sehun tried to convince the brunet that he was in love –several times actually– but Baekhyun denied it each and every time, telling the younger to stop spurring nonsense. But even so, ever since Chanyeol had suddenly appeared out of basically thin air, the latter had been getting that same dream every now and then. And every night, the dream was clearer and clearer in his head. It was starting to scare him a little–

Baekhyun ran a hand through his hair while staring at the ceiling.

What the fuck.

He glanced at the clock on his bedside table. 1:14AM.

For some reason, at such an ungodly hour, Baekhyun thought it was a good idea to ring up Sehun. Knowing the younger, he would get pissed and probably not even answer. But much to his surprise, someone answered after the second ring.

"Sehun?"

Hushed whispers could be heard from the other line but it soon went silent. He heard an unfamiliar groan from the other line then Sehun finally spoke.

"Who the fuck is it?"

"It's me, Baek– Are you with someone right now?" Baekhyun noticed the other didn't sound the least bit sleepy but he payed it no mind.

It took a while for the younger to respond.

"No. Don't change the topic. What do you want?"

"I didn't–" Baekhyun sighed, massaging his temples delicately. "It happened again, the dream."

"You better not be fucking with me right now just to disturb my sleep or I swear–"

"I'm not! Why would I?!" The latter's grip to the rectangular object tightened as a scowl began to form on his lips, which he knew Sehun couldn't see.

"Okay so are you going to accept you're in love with him?"

"Sehun, that's silly and you know it so stop saying that!"

"Then why did you call? If you didn't just call me when I was... Sleeping... To tell me you finally figured it out then I don't want to hear it." He hung up after that.

Jerk.

"Fucking dick..." He muttered, slamming his phone harshly on his mattress, which bounced off his bed onto the cold hard floor.

Fuck.

Hesitantly, he picked the device up from the ground to find a very visible crack on the screen. Baekhyun mumbled, "I'm so sorry, I'll never do that again to you– Ah I'm so so so sorry! Please forgive me Mr.Phone!" He hugged his phone close to his chest before calling someone else, paying no mind to the time.

After about 7 rings, he was about to hang up but then someone picked up.

"Baekhyun?"

"Jongdae."

"Ahhh, why are you calling me right now– This better be fucking important like you're dying or something or god so help me I'll–" The other's whining got interrupted by an annoyed Baekhyun.

"Quit rambling and listen. Sehun didn't listen so you're pretty much my last hope." The other line was silent for once in forever and Baekhyun was actually worried Jongdae had hung up on him.

"Go on," He noticed Jongdae actually sound interested.

"I've... Been having these weird dreams, they're identical every time, I have them every month. You, Sehun, me, everyone's in it–"

"What goes down in that so called dream of yours?"

"I was gonna get to that– So basically, we're playing this game where you kiss the person that gives you a rose and that's pretty much it and–"

"Did I kiss anyone? You said I was in it, well did I?"

"Yes–" The latter took notice that the younger sure liked interrupting him, he was starting to get annoyed but he shook it off.

"Who?"

The latter hesitated for a while but the other line wouldn't stop whining so he gave in.

"Well actually, it was Minseok-hyung who kissed you, you were looking all embarrassed but this isn't why I called–"

"Wait! How did you know I had a crush on Minseok!? I never told anyone! Wait... Could this mean Minseok likes me too?"

"Jongdae, I don't know, it was just a stupid dream. I can't read minds and... And... Wait... You have a crush on Minseok-hyung? N-Nevermind that! The person that I kissed, the first time I had this dream, I didn't know them. But on the very next day, I meet them. They were identical. We've been growing close ever since then and every time I'm with them... I don't know... I feel weirdly calm around them, like I can act normally and shit."

Jongdae was silent, probably taking in all this fresh information.

"So you've never seen them in your entire life then all of a sudden they appear? That's a bit hard to believe, Baek..."

"But it's true! Why would I lie about this?"

"I don't know, this just sounds like one of those Wattpad fanfics or some shit."

"I know it sounds crazy but you have to believe me!"

"Okay, okay. I believe you... Have you told them about this?"

"No..."

"You should, maybe it's Fate or something? Also it sounds like you have feelings–"

"I don't! Why are you saying that!"

"Relax. I'm going to give you a phone number right now, call it and do as instructed, okay?"

Baekhyun quirked his eyebrows and shrugged. "Okay but why?"

"Just do it."

"Wait! Let me get a pen!" The latter hastily hopped off his bed and grabbed a pen and paper off his desk. "Okay! I'm ready." Jongdae gave him a rather long sum of digits, he was a bit cautious of calling but Jongdae said he'd tell everyone that Baekhyun was in love if he didn't so the latter didn't have much of a choice...

He dialed the long number and waited for someone to pick up.

"Hello, you're speaking to the love expert of School of Performing Arts Seoul, how can I help you tonight?" A deep male's voice greeted him. He was surprised, he sure wasn't expecting a guy to pick up much less was he expecting anyone to pick up! He thought Jongdae was pranking him by making him call someone totally random! The strangest part was that the voice sounded oddly familiar to the latter.

Wait... I didn't know there was such thing as a love expert in a school–

"H-Hi, my friends have been telling me I'm in love, which is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! One of them told me t-to call this number so I did... I didn't k-know it was this, I'm sorry, I'll hang up–"

"No wait! I can help you figure it out!"

Baekhyun thought for a while, was he really going to tell someone –whom he wasn't sure he knew– about how he started growing feelings towards someone he found out even excited by a dream that happened every month? No, not growing feelings, a certain someone whom he was growing a bond with. His thoughts were interrupted by that same person.

"Miss? Are you still there?"

"I'm a guy!" Baekhyun let out an unmanly shriek which he soon regret.

"Sorry– Do you want me to help you?"

He took a moment then spoke, "Why not?"

"Okay, I'll be asking you a few questions, please answer them as truthfully as possible."

"Alright, g-go on,"

"How long have the two of you known each other?"

"A couple months now..." Baekhyun heard the other line scribble something down.

"Do you find yourself thinking about them a lot recently?"

"Kinda..." The giant has been in his mind a lot in the past weeks.

"If they called you at 1AM would you pick up?"

"Well of course! It could be something important!"

"Does your heart flutter when they talk to you, touch you or compliment you?"

"Y-Yeah... Sometimes..."

"Do you know a lot about them?"

Baekhyun thought for a second, placing his hand on his chin. "Not exactly, h– I-I mean they tell me a few stories, mostly funny stories tho." He thought back to the time Chanyeol brought a dead mouse to his house and asked his mom if he could keep it and his mother got angry at him. He chuckled softly thinking back to that.

"Do you remember the first time you meet them?"

Baekhyun opened his mouth to speak but soon shut it, rethinking his answer, thinking back to his dream. "Yeah. Very clearly." Too clearly.

"Right now it's pretty late, were you by any chance, thinking about them?"

Would you count dreaming as thinking about Chanyeol?

"I mean, I guess, yeah..."

"Alright last question, If they were to disappear, how would you feel?"

"Well... Worried of course, it's not everyday someone just goes missing..."

"Okay, Baekhyun, I've got your results."

"Well?" He mumbled, impatiently.

"It appears you're developing feelings for them, which seem to be growing rapidly into, you guessed it, Love. I know you said the idea is completely ridiculous but think about it. Think about this. Give the idea a chance and see where it goes?"

Baekhyun let out a shaky sigh.

Maybe this guy's right. I can't keep denying this forever...

Blasphemy! What are you thinking! Use that stupid brain of yours for once! What does this guy know about you anyways?

He... He knew my name... How does he know my name?

"I'll think about it, thanks. By the way, how did you know–"

"I'm sorry, sir, someone else is calling! Call me back once you figured yourself out."

With that the person hung up. Leaving Baekhyun curious, but about a different topic that wasn't Chanyeol.

He might've actually known the guy, after all, Baekhyun's pretty popular. He shrugged it off and went back to the subject in hand. That giant idiot he apparently 'loved'. He scoffed. Baekhyun slipped his phone, with the most care in the world, on his bedside table and got conformable on his bed. He wasn't going to let his racing heart keep him wake all night, he had school the next day after all.
