Krisyeol; The Immutable Truth

23 ◕ "We need Time" pt1 (🇬🇧 vers)

“You bastard!”

"Hah?" Kris was dumbfounded when Sehun rebuked him in a curt voice and squinted eyes stared at him.

"You jerk!"

"Aish. It's been a long time—

"Nonetheless!"

"Okay, so you want to hear this boring story, don't you?"

Sehun nodded. He shifted his seat closer to his father who was now staring out the window.

"Sunbae?"

"It's babe"

"Sunbae."

“Honey”

"Sun-Bae."

"Aish!! Just call hyung!!”

Chanyeol chuckled. He stretched his arms around Kris' neck and pulled him closer.

They were lying on the bed together. Kris just returned from a seminar in Jeju with one of his professors. Letting go of longing by hugging each other is something that both of them like.

Just turn around with a hug. Chanyeol was in Kris' arms, leaning fully on Kris and Kris resting his chin on the top of Chanyeol's head.
  

 
 
Ddrrtt drrrtt

 
  
Chanyeol's phone vibrates. Chanyeol immediately stood up to pick up his cellphone which was on the table. His brows furrowed.

“Hello, Joohyuk?”

“……”

“A-ah… O-okay”

Kris looked at Chanyeol's face which looked a little pale. Kris looked at his boyfriend.

“Where else He asked you to come? Say it's late, you can't go out"

Chanyeol just smiled awkwardly. He then walked to the cupboard and from the bottom drawer took out a black paper bag.

"What is it babe?"

“Mmm… Joohyuk's clothes”

Kris' brow furrowed. He was about to ask why Joohyuk's clothes were there, but their unit bell rang first.

Kris who was closer to the door, stepped up and pulled it open. He looked at Joohyuk who smiled innocently in front of him.

"Sorry hyung, I need this shirt for shooting"

Chanyeol gave the paperbag to Joohyuk. He then smiled faintly. "Good luck," he said simply, and Joohyuk's wide smile appeared.

"Thanks hyung" he said then left without saying goodbye to Kris. He disappeared from the corridor. Leaving Kris and Chanyeol silent at each other at the entrance of their apartment unit.

Kris wanted to say something, but he was very disappointed and angry. Kris was well aware that he shouldn't talk when he's angry.

So Kris closed the door behind him and walked towards his bed, but Chanyeol grabbed Kris' hand first.
  
  

"S-sorry"

Kris was silent. He was still silent when Chanyeol hugged his arm and rested his forehead on his arm.

“That day, when I came home, he was suddenly at the door. His head is bleeding, he needs my help”

Chanyeol gripped the sleeve of Kris' long shirt. His heart was getting restless because Kris didn't say anything. Usually he's not like this.

“Babe, I told you that this place and you are my home, my most comfortable place isn't it?”

Kris pulled his hand from Chanyeol's embrace. "Then why did you let him in?"

“Sorry sunbaenim—

“Not only did you let him in without my permission, but you also kept it secret from me.”

Chanyeol clenched his fists. Frightened, his head lowered to stare at the marble floor.

"Baby look at me"

Chanyeol lifted his head and found Kris' eyes staring at him intently and deeply. While his eyes were heating up, Chanyeol could feel the dew on his eyelids.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Kris asked, “What are you hiding—

"There is nothing!!"

“Then why did you hide it from me!!—

“I don't want sunbae to be disappointed again—

“Then knowing it like this, do you think I'm not disappointed, Park Chanyeol-ssi?”

Chanyeol gasped when he heard his name being called that coldly by Kris. He looked at him with eyes that were already wet from crying.

“S-sorry.. T-that night Joohyuk was bleeding—hiks, he was crying—hiks, he needed me—

"Then what about me? My feelings? You know he loves you and wants you, right, Chanyeol-ssi?”

Chanyeol shook his head, not liking being called by that tone and name. "I-I'm sorry sunbae—hiks.. I'm sorry Hyung..."

“You're apologizing now, but the day after tomorrow if you find Joohyuk like that you'll do the same thing again—

“Then what should I do?!!! Should I ignore it?!! When he is in front of me?!”

“You can say no, Chanyeol”

"Can not. You didn't see how broken he was—

"ENOUGH!!"

Chanyeol gasped. His eyes fluttered at Kris in shock. It's the first time since he's known Kris, the first time he's heard Kris yell at someone, moreover, him?

"Limit your good manners, or you'll get hurt yourself"

“J-joohyuk may like me but—but he—

"See? You defended him. Do you realize—”

Kris pointed at Chanyeol's face and his piercing eyes stared at him full of anger. “Did you realize that you always stood up for him and were by his side whenever I argued about him?”

"You may not love me that much hyung"

Kris looked at Chanyeol. Lost for words. Shouldn't that be Kris' words? Kris the disappointed party here.

And because he didn't want to say words that might hurt Chanyeol's heart, Kris stepped out. His head and heart were on fire, he didn't want to act with emotion.

"You and I need time to think about this relationship"

“Sunbae—

“Chanyeol-ah.. to be honest I'm jealous. I don't like seeing you with him. I want you to just focus on me and prioritize me.”

Chanyeol looked down. Kris who was staring at him, approached him even though he was wearing shoes, he still stepped closer. He rubbed Chanyeol's head and kissed his forehead.

“I love you” he said then left, this time he didn't turn back even though Chanyeol was crying on his back.
