Third Person's Point of View

It's exactly been two weeks since they went to the mall and the smaller spoke out. Chanyeol and Baekhyun's relationship has been better ever since and Chanyeol saw how Baekhyun's attitude improved a lot.

"With this kind of progress, you'll be back in the castle soon Baek." Chanyeol told Baekhyun who was currently cleaning the book shelves in the café.

Then the sudden realization of Chanyeol's words both saddened them.

"I'm not really sure I want to go back yet.... Living here is kind of better. Well yeah I miss my family and my cousins and Alfred but yeah... I just don't think I want to be back soon." Baekhyun confessed whilst looking at the bookshelves feeling proud of himself for doing a good job at organizing.

"Plus I know you'll miss me." Baekhyun playfully grins at Chanyeol who just ruffles his hair.

"Just go finish your job Baek. It's getting kind of late now and the others left like an hour ago." Chanyeol informs Baekhyun who nodded

Then Chanyeol heard a stomach growling which was clearly not his. He looks at Baekhyun who just stood still and held his stomach.

"Yeah I just might be a bit hungry." Chanyeol laughs and leads Baekhyun down the first floor to make him some carbonara, cookies and warm milk.

Baekhyun silently watches Chanyeol do all the work and suddenly speaks.

"So, why did you actually build cafés?" Baekhyun asks out of nowhere

"I always wanted to cook and bake since I was a kid because of my parents who were both good at cooking and baking. I wanted to build a café instead of a restaurant because cafés are like an escape for stressed out people like students or businessmen." Chanyeol stated and placed the plates and milk on the table outside the kitchen and Baekhyun followed.

Baekhyun grabbed a fork and started digging in and when he got to the cookies then he realized that Chanyeol was only looking at him.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Baekhyun asked

"I'm full" Chanyeol answered plainly and so Baekhyun continued eating.

Baekhyun drank the milk finishing all of it and having some on the top of his lips. Chanyeol saw it and took a tissue
before wiping it off Baekhyun's face. Baekhyun stared at Chanyeol's eyes that's also staring back at his. Their faces were just inches apart and Baekhyun's eyes went down to the taller's lips. Baekhyun decided to not give a fuck about their surroundings and pulled in Chanyeol for a soft kiss. Chanyeol was surprised but nonetheless kissed back making it deeper. Because of the table restricting the both of them to come closer, Baekhyun climbed up making the nearby plates make a sound but both of them were too busy to notice.

Chanyeol carries Baekhyun and wraps the smaller's thighs around his waist securing the both of them. Chanyeol dipped his tongue inside Baekhyun's mouth which made the smaller whimper. They both fought for dominance before separating due to the lack of air.

They breathe deeply while looking at each others eyes before the bell in the store sounded meaning someone went in.

"Oh...my... gosh..."

"Dara noona..."

***

Oh just how wonderful it is for Baekhyun. One moment he was horny and now he just wanted to crawl to a bush but kill Chanyeol first. Because the girl who just caught them kissing is Chanyeol's girlfriend.

Yes..

Girlfriend

And that just made Baekhyun's mood turn sour. Because first of all, he isn't a side hoe and he hates cheaters but that's just what he is right now and that fucking Park Chanyeol didn't tell him that he had a precious girlfriend.

While they were having dinner, Baekhyun kept his head low and kept stabbing the chicken trying to somehow murder it thinking that it's Chabyeol.

"So Baekhyun, why exactly are you here? Shouldn't you be at your island or something?" Dara asks Baekhyun who got startled

"I... Uhh my father wanted me to visit Chanyeol since our parents are close friends that's it." Baekhyun shyly answered then continued stabbing the fork.

"Baek, stop that it's disrespectful." Baekhyun just glared at Chanyeol before replying a cold bite me.

And Dara just hissed at the remark and wanted to support Baekhyun but she knows that she shouldn't. Well after all, this is all Chanyeol's fault. So this is going to be a very long evening.

***

"What the actual fuck Chanyeol? Why'd you tell the kid that I'm your girlfriend? Are you insane?! Did you see how he reacted?!" Dara facepalms herself while pacing around Chanyeol's room who's just playing some game on his phone.

"Chill bro, I know you're gay and all but just this once just go with it. I want to see how far I could make the boy jealous." Chanyeol smiled

"Huh, jealousy aye? That's kinda fucked up Yeol. I walk into both of you kissing then just tell him that I'm your girlfriend? Don't you think that would hurt if you were in his position? Tell me Yeol do you like Byun Baekhyun?" That last sentence made Chanyeol stiff for a while and that was all Dara need to know the truth.

"No." The girl just rolled her eyes before stiffling a laugh

"Yeah sure you giant sissy. But I am not okay with this shit and I ain't going with this plan of yours to make your boyfriend jealous." Chanyeol looks at Dara who was grinning from ear to ear trying to tease Chanyeol.

"He's not my boyfriend so just shut the fuck up."

"Well at least not yet~ Yieeee—ack!" Chanyeol threw a pillow on Dara's face who then landed on the bed while laughing.

Meanwhile at the other side of the door, Baekhyun heard the whole conversation and smirked to himself.

Make me jealous hmm? Well let me turn the tables tomorrow Park.

***

Morning was quite pleasant for all of them especially Baekhyun. Because of the eavesdropping he did yesterday, he decided to make Chanyeol's plan backfire and Baekhyun being Baekhyun, he's an expert at this kind of situation. Meanwhile, Chanyeol was doing his best to act like he's flirting with Dara who obviously looked so disgusted. Chanyeol was kind of confused as to why Baekhyun seemed fine with all of it.

'Is Baekhyun pretending to be fine or does he just not care?' Chanyeol thought but shook it aside still continuing his act.

"Hey Baek there's someone at the counter, can you get his order for me?" Kyungsoo asks Baekhyun who just got back from cleaning the tables.

Baekhyun smiled and nodded before making his way to the counter.

"Good morning sir what can..." Baekhyun was a bit taken aback as he stared at the man's face. 

The man looked like perfection and was definitely Baekhyun's ideal type. Tall, muscular and that killer smirk.

"Just one medium iced choco latte and a slice of that red velvet cake." The guy leaned on the counter and sent Baekhyun a wink making the smaller raise an eyebrow.

'What a fucking flirt.'  Baekhyun thought before remembers his scheme.

"That'll be 1,500 won." The guy handed Baekhyun the money but the smaller intentionally grabbed the guy's hand making the other look at him.

Meanwhile, Chanyeol and Dara kept talking about what they need to improve with the other shops but Chanyeol's gaze was only focused on Baekhyun's hand that was holding another guy's hand. That scene was a bit far from them but it just bothered Chanyeol too much that moving his gaze away from the scene was impossible.

"Uhh hey so what's your name?" Baekhyun asked the tall customer

"Wonho, why baby?" It literally made Baekhyun cringe on the inside

"So I want a certain person to get jealous so can you help me?" Baekhyun pouts to try and persuade the tall customer who grinned.

"Let me guess, it's that guy who's talking to that girl a few meters away from us?" Wonho asked and Baekhyun nodded.

"Well I think it's already working but okay I'm in since I don't have anything to do." They both grinned at each other before Wonho finds a table and Baekhyun prepared his order.

Baekhyun delivered Wonho's order and placed it on the table. He was about to go back when Wonho grabbed his arm making a certain someone feel impatient and irritated.

"Hey, mind giving me some time?" Wonho asked Baekhyun with a sly grin on his face

Baekhyun then pretended to look around to look for new customers but thanks to luck, there's none.

"Yeah, sure pretty boy." Wonho smirked and watched Baekhyun sit down across him.

A few minutes passed and Chanyeol still looks at the two casually flirting on a table. Chanyeol feels bothered but he won't admit it. But after Wonho puts his hand on top of Baekhyun's, Chanyeol had enough. He silently left Dara's side who didn't even notice him leave and went straight to Baekhyun and the other guy. His palms made contact with the table forcefully getting not only Wonho and Baekhyun's attention but also Dara, Kyungsoo, Luhan and Lucas.

Baekhyun looked at Chanyeol's eyes and he suddenly regretted his decisions. Without words Baekhyun could already feel the anger Chanyeol has through his eyes.

"Byun, don't you have anything else to do?" Chanyeol asked the smaller in a very deep and chilling voice that even made Wonho gulp in fear.

No words can come out of Baekhyun's mouth. It was like his confidence was flushed out and he just felt so little. Chanyeol waited for an answer and after getting none, he grabbed Baekhyun by the wrist and lead him to his office. No words were exchanged until Chanyeol spoke up.

"I don't get it. I was the one supposed to make you jealous but why the fuck am I the one getting jealous. I was just supposed to correct you not fall for you but just what the fuck Byun Baekhyun. You make me feel things I can't explain. You make me confused just by seeing you talk to other guys. You get me dazed and confused and I fucking hate that the because you're getting better attitude now, you're going to leave me earlier than expected. I don't know Baekhyun I don't want you to leave me nor do I want to see you flirt with someone else other than me. I..... I li-- I just don't know anymore." 

Baekhyun was shocked with what he just heard right now. He doesn't know how to react but he just stepped forward grabbed Chanyeol by his cheeks and kissed him softly. There were so many emotions and words Baekhyun wanted to tell Chanyeol but he wishes that the kiss was enough to tell Chanyeol what he wants to say. Chanyeol responded to the kiss and held Baekhyun's waist; the kiss not being rough but soft and warm like they were pouring out their emotions.

After the kiss, Chanyeol slowly removed away from Baekhyun and left without a word.

***

"Are you sure Baekhyun? I can give you a ride back to the condo." Dara asks Baekhyun because the store is closing in a few more minutes and Chanyeol was still nowhere to be found.

Kyungsoo, Luhan and Lucas left a while ago leaving only Baekhyun and Dara behind.

"I'm fine, I still need to fix something at the second floor so no need." Baekhyun responded

"Well okay then. I'm going now, take care Baekhyun!-- Oh and I know my cousin can be intimidating sometimes but thank you for being there for him and helping him get better. Adios!" Dara smiled at Baekhyun before getting in her car and driving off.

Get better? At what? Baekhyun thought and put on his mask, put on his earphones and locked up. He was thinking if he should wait for Chanyeol but he just went against that and tried to walk to a near bus stop.

While listening to the song 'Something' (media above), Baekhyun thought about what Chanyeol said earlier. He was wondering why it felt warm hearing that from Chanyeol and he unconsciously smiled at the thought. Just then, water started pouring from above and Baekhyun knew he was doomed. It started raining hard and him forgetting to bring an umbrella and only wearing a cotton hoodie was not helping. Because there was still no bus stop nearby, he tried to run to the nearest shade he can find. 

Due to the long running and him already being a bit wet from the rain, he crouched and rest his head against the wall letting a bit of rain hit him. He just closed his eyes and he could only think of Chanyeol. Despite his state right now, he's still worrying about Chanyeol more than himself. Asking what if's or wondering where he is right now. He was about to just pass out when a bright light hit his eyes. When he opened it, he saw a very familiar jeep. The jeep opened and the person driving came outside. Baekhyun was able to see the figure but only the outline of it. Tall, big ears, black slicked back hair.

"Baek...." 

That voice.....

"Ch-Chanyeol...?" Chanyeol walked quickly towards Baekhyun and touched Baekhyun's face.

He was burning. Baekhyun caught a fever and Chanyeol can't help but to blame his stupidity for this.

"I'm sorry for leaving you.... Let's go home Baekhyun." 

***

Baekhyun didn't have enough energy to even walk and his fever is just getting worse so Chanyeol has the responsibility to make Baekhyun drink medicine, change Baekhyun's clothes and tuck him to bed. While he was changing Baekhyun he can't help but blush at the sight of Baekhyun's flawless body and praise him. Even after having some intimate times with Baekhyun, Chanyeol still gets shy when he sees Baekhyun's body. Yes, shy. Chanyeol had never been this shy before and he knows why. After putting a towel on Baekhyun's forehead and he thinks that the smaller is already asleep he combs Baekhyun's hair and whispers on his ear.

"Sleep well my prince...... I love you." Chanyeol goes out his room completely unaware that Baekhyun was still awake and he heard everything.

"He.... Loves me?"

"I think I'm falling for you harder Park Chanyeol...."
