" You're a lone flower, a cold iced-over gaze straight hidden in the depths If only I could wake you, from your long slumber. In the jet black darkness."

Baekhyun left everything.


He left his wallet, shoes, clothes and phone to make sure that he won't get track by his parents. He left his house - the house where he grew up as a man - the house where he spent his childhood and made good memories. And the house where he felt comfort when he needed to.




Most of all, he left his family -his own family that he trusted so much. He left the two persons' who took care of him, who gave him love and affection. And the encouragements his parents' always tell him when he's down or sad. The persons' who give him so much love but he paid them nothing. He just ditch them without even saying goodbye.


Everything was fine and happy in the big household of Byun's. Laughters can be heard in the every corner of the house. Until one day, the house full of bright smiles and laughter's became cold and empty. It's like the happiness they once shared became sucked off completely from their body. Then his parents' became cold and distant with each other like strangers. The spark and love had vanished into his mother and fathers' eyes but the care is still there just a little bit.




Deciding whether he would get his parents together or just leave them completely. Well, Baekhyun thought that time that it's the hardest decision he going to do in his life. But he had to choose. Another night came when Baekhyun left, with nothing but himself.




Just on his nightwear and a pair of sandals, Baekhyun wandered in the big streets of Seoul, a little money that he had save on his hands. The brunette with caramel highlighted hair look from his left to right, trying to find some familiarity on the street. He eyes had somehow caught a familiar wooden door with a 'Welcome' sign plastered in front.




The petite man was on his knees begging in front of his schoolmate when he was on his nth grade. Kim Jongdae. Then the said man let Baekhyun stay at his not so big and grand house for two days. And days turned into weeks then months and the raven haired man is seriously not happy about it.




He knows that Baekhyun needed a place to stay, but he just can't let the man do nothing but laziness while he's in his own house.


He's not a fucking superman to be able to support both of them while he is working. He can't feed both of them when his everyday paychecks are inconsistent. It's not like he works for a big company that had his house showering with money. Just accurate.


Jongdae mentally groaned. He don't to make Baekhyun feel bad for being such a burden to him. He just wanted his smaller friend to help him support the house, cause he can't do it all alone.


Baekhyun takes a few steps to the kitchen before pulling the two door refrigerator open,"Only water, really?"He clicked his tounge a few times looking over the fridge to find Jongdae leaning on the kitchen counter. "You need to buy more food."


"Well..."Their fridge - Jongdae's refrigerator was lacking of food. His paychecks are sometimes inconsistent that he will just settle for a ramen.








He just a waiter. It's really impossible for him to earn so much money.


"Baek,you need to get a job - or atleast help me --"


"Do you really want to get rid of me already?, you just have to say it,"The smaller frowns, sadness evident from his face.


"That's not what I'm trying to say! I just wanted to help you..cause I just remembered the hiring at the EVO fashion."The taller closed the ref before walking towards his roommate who had his arms crossed in his chest.




"Are fucking with me?"


"Actually no."






Jongdae put both of his hands on Baekhyun's small shoulders and looking into his eyes, pleading. "But Baek,give me a chance? Just try?"








Averting his eyes, the brunette release a deep sigh."Okay,just once though."


Maybe


Just maybe.




His decision is right just once. That he won't regret every single thing.

*******

The sound of people chattering and rushing came in contact on Baekhyun's earear. Some are wearing suits and branded clothes that suits their high status. Some of the workers just wanted simple clothes and shoes.




Well a such a typical scene. His mind started to wander on how does it feel like if he walk on the isle and have all of the workers are staring at him and wanted to be at his place. Baekhyun walk towards what he presumed the line before hugging his resume tightly on his chest that it might get crumpled.




The brunette man let out a deep breath before glancing in front him, there are atleast sixteen person on the line. Wanting to get hired and got themselves a stable job.




After thirty minutes of staring and before ,Baekhyun's name got called. He could hear his heart hammering on his chest like it will explode on any moment. Fuck he's nervous. No - he's scared shitless.


Baekhyun expected his boss to be old, chubby with a lots of facial hair and grumpy attitude but as soon as the glass door swung open, his heart stopped beating for a moment.


He doesn't expect his boss to be so tall that he would tip his head slightly just to look at him. And he doesn't expect his boss to be an arrogant and young bachelor that he would put anyone in shame by just standing beside him.


"Are you Mr.By --"


"Yes.Yes I am,"the petite man nodded feverishly, wanting to impressed his boss then cracking up a smile.



The man stared at him for a little longer before his eyes skimmed the applicant's resume.



"You're hired."
