Chapter 12

"So, have you asked him already?" Jongin asked while nudging the giant playfully.

Chanyeol remembered what Baekhyun had said, he have to keep it a secret. He didn't know what to tell his friends since he haven't kept a secret to them. But he had to.

"No, not yet," he lied and slumped down on his chair. He wasn't really a good liar to his friends so he needed to act.

"I thought you're-," Jongin was cut when Chanyeol spoke, "I'm tired, I didn't really want to talk." His friends looked at each other wondering what's wrong with their happy virus. Chanyeol put both of his hands on the desk and rested his head there. I'm sorry, guys.

...

It was already lunch and Chanyeol still can't move on because of what happened earlier. Baekhyun winked at me. Goddamn. He just did that. Shit. I'm going to have a heart attack.

Baekhyun was already dismissing the students for lunch and after he said those words they were immediately filing out the room. Chanyeol was about to go out of the room when Baekhyun called him.

"What is it, Mr. Byun?" Chanyeol asked the teacher while suppressing his grin that's about to form.

Baekhyun prevented the urge to chuckle or else he'll get screwed and just started, "Mr. Park, I just wanted to inform you that you've got the highest score in our unit test yesterday."

Chanyeol gave him a confused look but the grin was plastered on his face already. Baekhyun felt his heart beat in a rapid rate because of the guy's grin but he knew he have to snap out of it. "A-and because you've got the highest score, you're going to have an exemption on our sunmative test next week," he stammered.

Chanyeol just nodded and looked at the room only to found it that it was only the both of them who was left. His friends have probably been waiting there at the cafeteria. And he smirked because they're both alone again in the room.

"I know what you're thinking, Park," Baekhyun said, smirking too. "Saturday at the park. 10 in the morning," he said the details and got his bag and left but not before giving Chanyeol a wink, leaving the guy at awe.

"Just shit!" He can't help himself but to shout, everyone in the cafeteria is now looking at him. He groaned inwardly. What the hell. He just can't help it.

"Are you okay, Yeol? You looked liked you're going to shit out. Well, you already did shit out a while ago, literally," Sehun said with a light chuckle.

"Yes. I feel like shitting out, again. I want to die, don't you know that? I'm hopeless," he said while putting both of his arms on the table and messing his hair with his hands.

"Is it because you haven't asked him out?" Jongin asked, "You're so stupid and to think-," Chanyeol had cut him out again, "No, it's not that." He sighed.

"Then what is it?" Sehun asked, annoyance depicted on the tone.

Chanyeol almost forgot that he had a secret to keep but good thing the leaders are already on the table, "What's up? You seem like talking about something?" Yifan asked as he put the tray of foods on the table.

Jongin rolled his eyes, "Apparently, yes. And Chanyeol here shitted out ear-," Yifan cut him not noticing that Jongin was already furious, "Yeah. I saw that and?"

"WHAT'S WITH PEOPLE CUTTING ME! DAMMIT!" Jongin berated and the friends could only laugh at the maknae's hysteric.

Chanyeol was relieved that after they were laughing, they've already forgotten what they were talking about and had a new topic. It was about the new teacher who have been teaching on the section next to them. They say he was accelerated, too just like Baekhyun. But Chanyeol already knew who the teacher was, and it was Chen or Jongdae, perhaps.

Chanyeol was still out of mind, thinking for Saturday to already come. He didn't know what the guys are already talking about but he didn't care though, he just wanted to think of the possibilities that will happen this coming weekend.

...

Baekhyun is still not sure about the whole date idea but he knew it would be fine as long as it's kept as a secret. But chances are still there that someone might know and will spread it to the whole campus or worst to his family, and he didn't know what to do by then.

He didn't even know he would be gay. And even worst, to Chanyeol. The school's famous player. He even have to test the guy, just to know if he's serious. Today's the day though, that he's going to the park. Or rather, Chanyeol's going to the park. He knew it would be bad if he'll ditch the guy, but if he was really serious, he wouldn't give up that easily.

Baekhyun went downstairs, only to be greeted by Mr. Song. Baekhyun greeted back to the Butler with a slight smile before going to the kitchen.

"Sir, breakfast's on the dining room," the Butler said, already knowing that Baekhyun was looking for food.

Baekhyun nodded and went to the dining room. A long, rectangular posh table invited him when he got there. Gold and white colored chairs sprawled properly on its sides. Baekhyun sat on one as their servants came rushing in putting the foods, plates, fork, spoons and knives on the table and he could only wait for them to be finished. Once they were already done, the servants bowed politely at Baekhyun and left after that. Baekhyun looked at the food with delight. But he was still lonely that he have to eat breakfast all alone.

When he was done eating, he got up from the seat and went upstairs to his bedroom, not even bothering to say 'thanks' to the servants who prepared the meal. Who cares? They're getting paid for their work, anyway.

He sat down on the chair near his study table and grabbed a book nearby. He knew he had already read the book but he have to make his mind preoccupied to keep his guilt running over him.

As he was reading the book, he still can't help but feel guilty about ditching Chanyeol on their said 'date' but he just had to. He didn't have Chanyeol's number and so did the latter not having his number, which is fine because he would have a reason why he didn't go there. Well, he could make up something like:

I'm sorry, my parents didn't let me go out of the house. I'm really sorry.

Well, his parents aren't here. They're in Japan doing some proposal to a new soon-to-be-merger in their company. But Chanyeol didn't know that, and he doesn't need to know. But he could put up another reason like:

The car got busted and the other car was taken by our driver to fix the busted car.

It may sound complicated but that was a good reason, too. Or he could put it like:

I was sick, I'm sorry. It was unexpected, really.

That sounds reasonable, too since Baekhyun is prone to fainting and being sick, surely Chanyeol will believe that reason.

Baekhyun had been thinking a lot of reasons he could tell Chanyeol just to calm himself down. And he knew the giant will believe in him. He doesn't even know the guy yet and he couldn't tell if he was lying or not. But albeit it's that, he still feel a little guilty. Or maybe a lot guilty of what he's going to do.

He looked at the book in front of him and he didn't realize that's he had already been harsh to it when he noticed a ripped page which he thought it was his fault. He sighed and ruffled his still-messy hair.

Baekhyun closed the book and put it back to where it belonged. He stood up from the chair and went downstairs. Maybe it's nice if I watch something. He went to the living room and plopped himself on the couch, he got the remote that was placed on the center table and turned the TV on.

It was the news channel. He liked watching news, being updated about what's happening on Korea already. Sure, we've got internet but Baekhyun was lazy enough to even scroll down and read, it's better to listen and just watch.

"Today Korea will experience heavy rains due to the changing of the season. Don't go out without any warm jacket or an umbrella at hand. To those who are driving to north, be careful, it would be really cold and the road's going to be slippery in there due to the storm. You will have a hard time going to the destination you want to go or worst, accidents might happen. The storm's target is on North and the government advice you not to go ou-"

Baekhyun didn't let the lady to continue what she was talking and turned the TV off. He was guilty again and he was unsettled. Surely, Chanyeol had already watched the news, he won't probably go out. He sighed and made himself calm. But he realized that Chanyeol's the kind of guy that doesn't even listen to news and he's very stubborn.

He hurriedly went outside and checked the weather. It was fair and sunny. Nothing could go wrong, perhaps the weather caster got it wrong. He told that to himself, just to make himself calm down but he wasn't. He looked out again and saw dark, nimbus clouds up ahead. Shit. Looks like, it's going to rain hard just like the weather caster had said.

He went inside again and closed the door a little to harshly, making the Butler went to him in a matter of milliseconds. It was impressive but it wasn't the right time for Baekhyun to be impressed. "How far is the park from here?" He asked, worried expression plastered on his face.

"Master Baekhyun, unfortunately, you can't go out today. The weather's not going to be nice when 10:47 am comes-," the Butler said but was cut before he could even finish. "Shit," Baekhyun cursed making the Butler's eyes widen in shock.

"I believe we don't tolerate curses he-," the Butler was once again cut when Baekhyun snapped at him, "I don't care! Just tell me how far is the park from here?"

The Butler was appalled but then snapped out of it and answered the furious master, "T-the park is 40 minutes far from here if you take south. But if you take north, it would only take you 20 minutes. But I'm sad to say that you can't go to north since it would be really cold and the road's slippery there today, master, due to the upcoming storm."

Baekhyun looked up at the wall clock to check the time, only to see it's already 10:30. Shit. He still can't be waiting in there, right? He tells himself but wasn't considering it. He knew deep down, Chanyeol may have been waiting for him.

He passed the Butler and went to his room. He grabbed his phone but he realized he didn't have the giant's number. Goddammit. He could only settle on pacing back and forth on his room while waiting for a sign that Chanyeol didn't wait for him. His heart is pounding every passing second and he just wanted to fly then and there to the park, if not for the storm. Shit. Why did I even think of this? He regretted that he even made the stupid idea of ditching Chanyeol just to even prove he had been serious. But if he wasn't serious, he couldn't have been waiting there. Baekhyun's heart pains but it would have been better to keep the giant safe.

Or maybe, he had been waiting there for you because he was expecting you to be there too. He would have been thinking that you were running late and-

"Shit! Stop it!" He couldn't take it any longer, he was eaten by his guilt and his subconscious wasn't helping him.

He hurriedly went downstairs and in that moment exactly, the heavy rain poured down. Shit. He's going to die in there. He went outside not even bothering to listen to his Butler's calls and went inside his car. He went out the gate and drove to North to get to the park faster. Why did I even told him to go to the park? Dammit.

He can't see the road properly, the heavy rain droplets were covering the view of the road albeit the windshield was doing its job. It wasn't that useful, he really can't see. Goddammit, Chanyeol!

It was already late when he saw a turn causing him to press the brakes immediately. Fuck. The car's engine turned off from the sudden jolt. What could go worst? He turned the engine on again but it failed to start again. "GODDAMMIT!"

He reluctantly went outside and the cold air welcomed him, sending him into shivers and the fact that he was wearing thin clothes made it colder for him. He didn't care about that right now and all he could think is Chanyeol. Chanyeol, Chanyeol, fuck Chanyeol. He opened the car's compartment in front and left it like that before starting the engine again, hoping it would turn on. And it did, Baekhyun sighed relieved and closed the compartment before going in.

He was already very wet but he didn't care, he felt cold already that he was shivering from time to time. But the thought of Chanyeol on the park, shivering and helpless made him worried even more. Shit. If he dies, this is so not my fault. He felt something warm and wet trickling down his cheeks and he immediately wiped it. Not now.

He was having a hard time contolling his car, the road was slippery and the fact that his hands were already weak because of the coldness weren't even helping a bit. He groaned again. Please be safe, Chanyeol.

When he already reached the park, he immediately went out and called out at him. "Chanyeol!" He shouted. He kept on shouting the giant's name, wishing he would answer back. He felt like he was about lose his voice and his throat's going to rip out because of the constant calls he was doing. He felt very cold and his knees were already weak and trembling. He was crying while calling out at the giant. He can't help the sob that was going out on his mouth.

He looked everywhere, called at him at the top of his lungs but he found no signs of Chanyeol. Did Chanyeol already go before the storm came? Maybe? He should be happy right since Chanyeol was safe? But he felt like he was stabbed in the heart, pieces by pieces. He went here for nothing, he felt cold here for nothing. But what's worst is when he got really worried because of nothing.

Just as when he's about to lose hope, he found a tall figure curling himself like a ball under a slide. He looked at him and smiled slightly but that disappeared when he saw the guy tremble, shake and shiver. Please, no. "B-Baek... hyun," he heard the guy mutter under his breath. Chanyeol. Baekhyun could only think, he can't say anything but he immediately went to him and hugged him really tight. His sobs were already loud, he can't stop shaking. He can't feel the cold anymore but all he could think was Chanyeol who waited for him. Chanyeol who went here just for him, and he just ditched the giant. Chanyeol who didn't bother go and leave just because of the storm. Chanyeol.

"B-Baekhyun, you're... h-here," the guy said hoarsely at Baekhyun. He hugged him back and Baekhyun could only sob. "Chanyeol, I'm sorry." He repeated those words as he hugged the latter tighter.

"I-It's okay, Baekhyun. As long as, you're here," Chanyeol uttered as he caressed Baekhyun's back to make him calm for a bit. He was shivering cold but he was happy Baekhyun was already here. He thought of leaving, but somewhere deep within him was telling him to stay and good thing he obeyed that voice. It was worth it. Baekhyun was worth waiting for.

Baekhyun looked up at him and smiled slightly before standing up again. "Let's take you home," he said as he knelt down and put Chanyeol's shoulder around his, for support. He knew Chanyeol was already weak because of waiting, he was worried he would fall out anytime soon. He was really cold. He stood up, carrying Chanyeol with him. Baekhyun's knees wasn't cooperating with him, he had a hard time carrying Chanyeol since it was trembling and shaking because of the coldness he was feeling.

The wind blew harder and both the guys could only shake. Baekhyun tumbled and fell but he didn't think of giving up, "Almost there. Hang on, Chanyeol." Chanyeol didn't move, he can't move himself anymore but he tried to add strength to his legs to keep Baekhyun from struggling because of his weight. He was surely heavy but Baekhyun didn't mind that, all he wanted to do is to make Chanyeol warm as soon as possible.

They already reached the car and Baekhyun put the giant inside and gave him a quick peck on his forehead to assure him that he's going to be fine. Chanyeol felt the warmth spread across the spot where Baekhyun kissed albeit he was freezing. Baekhyun closed the door before going to the opposite direction to go to the driver's seat. He started the engine after closing the door and drove off.

"Chanyeol, where's your... house?" He stammered, he was feeling really cold too but that didn't matter right now. What matters right now is Chanyeol.

"J-Just go... straight, t-then you'll... see two turns," Chanyeol was having a hard time talking without even shivering and Baekhyun pains to see this, "T-Turn...left a-and then j-just drive forward," he paused for a while, rubbing his hands together for warmth before continuing, "H-house... blue r-roof.. w-white gate...t-that's a-already...it." Baekhyun had notice he had already a hard time talking and he can't do anything but to nod worriedly. "You're going to be fine."

Despite that he was already feeling very cold, he still was determined to help Chanyeol. He was very worried and he knew that this was his fault, he shouldn't have ditched him. But if he didn't, he would have ended up like him and nobody can help both of them already. He sighed, it still was bad to ditch him.

He noticed the house Chanyeol was talking about and put a halt in front of it. He looked at Chanyeol who was already curling himself, eyebrows knit and hands put together. "You're going to be fine," he said again.

He got out of the car, the rain still pouring heavily outside, loud thunderstorms were heard and the wind blew like there's no tomorrow. It's like as the seconds passed, the storm's getting stronger. Baekhyun wasn't expecting the storm to be this strong. He went to Chanyeol's side and pulled him out. This time, he mustered all the strength he had as he supported Chanyeol inside the door. He knew Chanyeol was already very weak, eyes half-closed and body trembling from the sudden coldness of wind when they went outside.

Baekhyun turned the door knob only to find it is locked. He sighed and moved his shoulders, where Chanyeol rested his head, to wake the latter up. "Chanyeol.. d'you have the key to your house?"

Chanyeol nodded and shakily said, "It's on my pocket." Baekhyun prevented the urge to raise a brow. Is he expecting me to get it on his pocket? He mentally groaned and was about to get it on his pocket but Chanyeol took his hand away, while smirking. Seriously!? He was about to smack Chanyeol only if the latter didn't immediately hand him the key. He rolled his eyes as he opened the door with the empty hand.

They both went inside the house. Baekhyun didn't waste any time and put the giant on the sofa, immediately. He looked around searching for a certain door, when he saw it, he immediately went to it and pulled out blankets. He also went to the closet and got clothes before going out again.

"Take off your clothes," he ordered, only to be given him a look. Baekhyun raised a brow, "You're going to change your wet clothes into warm ones." He handed the giant the clothes he randomly pulled. The giant only nodded and took the clothes. He took off his clothes in front of Baekhyun, his eyes going wide. The latter put on the shirt that Baekhyun prepared, the older's eyes was still plastered at him. "Fantasizing about my body, huh, Mr. Byun?" The giant spoke while smirking.

Baekhyun snapped out of it, "I-I was just making sure if you can change your clothes on your own." He looked away immediately. "And if I can't change my clothes on my own?" The giant said, interrogating the teacher with a brow, "Will you help me?"

Baekhyun was flustered at what the giant said. "S-Shut up. I'm going to get clothes for myself," the teacher stuttered and walked away into the room where he got Chanyeol's clothes. So this is Chanyeol's room? He can't help but to compliment the room. It was a little smaller than his room, with a medium-sized bed, closet, study table and the usual... But it was surely, cleaner than his room. For a guy like him, I'm impressed. He opened the closet and choose clothes that he think would be a little fit for him, but to no avail, he didn't found any. He just picked some random shirt and pants.

He went into a door which he thinks was the bathroom door. And sure enough, it was. He changed his clothes, which was dripping wet and left it somewhere he didn't care where. He put on the new clothes and looked at himself at the mirror. The shirt was too oversized for him and it reaches above his knees just below his thighs. The pants were large and a little loose. But it was comfortable and warm, thinking of Chanyeol wearing this made him blush a little.

He got out of the bathroom before he could even think of anything wrong and out of the blue. When he got out, he noticed the person who was plopped down on the bed and he can't help but to sigh in relief. At least he was safe.

"B-Baek?" The guy uttered when he noticed him, cutting the teacher from his thoughts.

Baekhyun can't help but be in awe at the guy and so he went near him and sat down on his bed. He put his hand on the giant's hair hesitantly but when he did, he softly caressed it, doing the process all over again. Chanyeol hummed comfortably. He loved how Baekhyun made him feel so warm and comforted. He loved how Baekhyun made his heart beat into an unbelievable rate and made his stomach turn into flips. He loved how Baekhyun was able to make him feel this way.

He was preventing the urge to sleep but when Baekhyun opened his mouth and sang a lullaby, he can't help but to be lulled at the wonderful sound and before he even knew it, he was already asleep with a comfortable smile plastered on his face.

...

A long chappy guys. I don't know with this, though. Hope you like this chapter! I was a bit inspired writing this when blah blah nobody cares... anyway... BAEKYEOL IS REAL. NOBODY ARGUES WITH THAT.

Okay, I'm done ranting...
