Chanyeol looked at the sleeping guy who was in front of him, admiring his face. He can't help but to caress Baekhyun's face with his hand. Trailing off warmth throughout Baekhyun's face. Cheeks... so smooth. Brows... knitted. Nose... perfect. Lips... soft, red and...

He jolted back, he haven't realized that he was already very near the guy. He was about to kiss him and he didn't know why but he suddenly felt like he shouldn't. Not when he's still vulnerable. He sighed and just went back to stare at the guy. For now, he'll just have to settle with this.

He heard a sudden hum in the latter's mouth. "Chanyeol?" Baekhyun opened his eyes, only to see the giant. He suddenly realized the situation he was on, right now. Him, hugging Chanyeol and Chanyeol hugging him back. They were snuggling together and instead that Baekhyun should move out, he only snuggled closer to the guy.

Chanyeol chuckled at his action and just caressed Baekhyun's back. Baekhyun is vulnerable if he's not facing the people around, but when he is, he has this face that leaves them intimidated at him. He's fragile and very precious.

"Can I ask something, Chanyeol?" Baekhyun uttered, still snuggling comfortably at the guy.

Chanyeol can only nod but he was stupid for doing that because Baekhyun can't see him. "Yeah. Sure," he replied.

"Where's your parents?" Baekhyun blurted out his question. He hoped his parents didn't die or what, because he didn't know what to act by then.

"My parents are in Japan. They're doing their business there," Chanyeol answered his question. The latter was relieved that his parents didn't die but he still had something that's bothering him, "Why are you here in Seoul, anyway? You could live your life in Japan, and it would be nicer there because, well, your parents are there."

Chanyeol heaved a sigh as he pulled Baekhyun from snuggling him. Baekhyun could only look at the guy's eyes. "My parents and I aren't in a good terms. Well, you see-," the guy said but Baekhyun cut him off, "You don't have to tell me, though. Some things are better kept."

Chanyeol shook his head, "It's just fine, really," he paused and Baekhyun nodded, this was his cue to continue, "My parents wanted me to be arranged in someone. Because... well, that's how business works for us," he shrugged a bit, "But I really don't like their idea of arranged marriage for business."

Baekhyun nodded, though Chanyeol was still not finished. "So... you became a rebel and then set your life here in Seoul, away from your family. I get it all," Baekhyun said, thinking he already know what happened, but the giant cut him off, "That's not it. I told them I need time to think about it and they agreed with that. I also told them I wanted to stay in Seoul and be independent, which they thought was a great idea. See? That's what happened."

Baekhyun rolled his eyes, "Where's the 'my parents and I are not in good terms' huh? It looks like your parents are even supporting you in being independent?!" Baekhyun mimicked what Chanyeol did earlier, making the giant scoff, "I think we're not in good terms because we haven't been talking for a while."

Baekhyun 'oohed'. "Okay, that seems clearer," he paused for a while before he stated, "But you know, Japan's a nice place. I've always wanted to go in there. I'm even learning how to speak their language."

Chanyeol scowled at him, "Nothing's really nice in there. Seoul's nicer because you're here."

Baekhyun rolled his eyes, "So, you're saying that if I'm in Japan, then it would be nice there too? Well, Africa's going to be nice if I'm there, too, right?" He was being sarcastic and knowing that he had already reached Africa.

Chanyeol laughed, "Maybe."

Baekhyun shrugged and started again, "So, how about my clothes? Did you dry them off?"

Chanyeol rolled his eyes, "You're telling that like I'm one of your servants. And yes, I did. Thank me for loving you."

Baekhyun laughed, "I'm sorry and thank you for- wait. What?" His laugh disappeared from his face immediately and changed into confused ones.

The happy atmosphere of the room changed into a serious one. It was suddenly quiet, nobody of them was talking and Chanyeol could already hear his heart beat, loud and clear.

"I-I...," Chanyeol trailed off but he can't find the right words to say.

"Chanyeol... do you... love me?" Baekhyun asked. Chanyeol is not the only one who is nervous but also is Baekhyun. He was anticipating for the guy to answer, yes, but that's too stupid, right?

Chanyeol still didn't know what to say. Just deny it, dammit. "I-I was just joking!" He added a fake laugh to top that, "Of course, I'm just joking. You believed that... haha." He eyed the guy below him.

Baekhyun admitted to himself, he was hurt. He was expecting. Shit. Why was he even expecting? He just like me. He said to himself and sat up from the bed. "Hey? Are you okay?" Chanyeol asked.

Baekhyun looked at him and forced a smile, "Yeah. I am... I think I'll get going now. They're probably waiting for me in the house." He stood up from the bed and went inside the bathroom. He saw his clothes that was hung there and was already sure that he's going to leave already.

...

"Are you sure, you're okay on your own?" Chanyeol asked worriedly at Baekhyun for the nth time. And for the nth time, Baekhyun said, "Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry. I won't get lost."

The truth is, he wasn't even sure if he remembers when and where he turned but he can't bear being with Chanyeol anymore after that.

He went inside his car and Chanyeol was there waiting outside to check if he could already go. Baekhyun looked at him for the last time before he started the engine and drove off.

He was lost, really, he was. He didn't know in what part of Seoul he is already. And what's worse is, he left his phone in Chanyeol's house. Shit. He didn't know how to go back. This is soooo bad. He stopped his car in front of a coffee shop. He was hoping he could ask for directions in there or maybe they could offer him a call or something.

He went in the café and was greeted with the familiar scent of the coffee's aroma and the calming atmosphere of places like this. He went to the counter, only to be greeted by an angel-looking guy. "Good morning. How may-." Baekhyun didn't let the guy finish his sentence, "Do you know exactly what's this place?"

The guy just looked at him in confusion and nodded. He felt relieved and he immediately asked the guy for directions, which the employee politely answered.

"Thank you. What's your name?" Baekhyun asked, who was grateful that he met this guy.

"Xi Luhan. And I know who you are, sir. You're my teacher, Mr. Byun," the guy replied.

Baekhyun was shocked. He bumped into one of his students, he didn't even know he is. "I'm really sorry, Luhan. I didn't know. But anyway, I'll already get going. Thank you." He left the café while waving at the guy who was waving back at him. He'll probably remember the guy's name.

He went inside his car, remembering the directions, he followed it and soon enough he had already reached the house safely. He felt victorious that he had made his way to the house on his own. I am already independent. He declared to himself.

He went outside his car and noticed the persons waiting for him outside the door. "Oh, hey guys," he greeted them nervously. All of them eyed him but what Baekhyun freaked out the most is D.O who was currently glaring at him. "H-hi D.O! What's up?" He stammered.

"The ceiling," D.O replied calmly, earning a fake chuckle from Baekhyun, "That's so funny, D.O. Haha. Really." He was about to get pass him and into the door when D.O held his arm, "You're not going, anywhere."

"Yeah. Sure, I'm just going in the house and not anywhere," he stated, earning a roll of the eyes from D.O.

"Okay, go inside. We've got something to talk about," D.O said and Baekhyun could only heave a sigh. The doe-eyed guy went in and he just followed him behind.

"In my room," D.O stated as he went upstairs.

"In your room? Why not in my room? It's also nice in there," Baekhyun complained.

"Yeah sure, that would be nice. Instead of talking about what happened to you and that Park-guy, I think I'll end up cleaning your messy room. Jesus, Baekhyun, be clean!"

Baekhyun rolled his eyes as they both went in D.O's room. Baekhyun and D.O's room are just the same, though D.O's room is (of course) cleaner than his and a little difference in the room's arrays and shits.

D.O closed the door, went into his bed and sat down in there, legs crossing and his arms crossed around his chest. "Are you dating with that Park?"

"No... I mean yes... We're still on that," Baekhyun replied shakily.

D.O sighed but this time, he already looked calm. "I was just worried, okay? You know how much I love you, right? And... that Park? I don't know. I feel bad about this... for you... and him."

Baekhyun nodded and sat next to him, "I know. It's just not you. I also feel bad about this, you know. But I could trust you, right?"

D.O nodded and said, "Yes, you can trust me in this." Baekhyun pulled the latter in a hug, "I'm thankful I have you."

D.O patted his brother's back, "Yeah. But I still have to meet him. And talk to him. And..."

"D.O?"

"And test him," he continued.

Baekhyun pulled away from the hug, "Test?" He 'tsked', "Trust me. I already did." He remembered what he had done to Chanyeol, he still haven't explained himself to him but he was guessing it's not that important, anymore, now that he know that Chanyeol just liked him, nothing more than that. But deep inside, he wanted the guy to feel something more to him.

D.O shook his head, "And trust me. I'm better at testing." Baekhyun noticed his brother clenched his fist and he heard a popping sound when he did that. Yeah, he's better at testing.
