Baekyeol: Yellow Roses

Part 55; Sips Tea ☕

With no options of kicking the giant out, Baekhyun helped set the dining table. The two sat across each other. "Here." Chanyeol eagerly places pieces of chicken into Baekhyun's plate. He stares down at the appetizing saucy pieces of chicken. "Thanks." He mumbles and reaches for his chopsticks. He hesitates to eat but proceed to take a bite at the very minimal. Groaning inside, leans down to take a small bite. The sauces stains his lips and he quickly reaches for a napkin. Why do we have to eat something so messy and stressful? Baekhyun slowly chews staring down at his plate. How am I going to survive the rest of the meal.

"Is something wrong?" Chanyeol lowers his chopsticks. His big eyes drawing in Baekhyun's. And the latter breaks into an embarrassed smile. He rubs the back of his neck shyly, "You already know..I hate eating in front of strangers."

"Ah..right," Chanyeol sets his chopsticks down. He leans back in his chair only to quickly lean forward with folded hands. "Am I a stranger?" Baekhyun laughs embarrassed. "I don't know..kind of sorta?" Chanyeol scrunches his nose with with a playful pout. "I've known you since you were in diapers, what are you even talking about?"

"Diapers? It was about six years old..you idiot." Baekhyun says the last part under his breath but nothing surpasses Chanyeol's ears.
"I heard that." Chanyeol points at him. "Shut up." Baekhyun mumbles and tries to focus on his food.

Chanyeol's lips curves into a soft smile. His fringes slightly covers his soft eyes as he tilts his head down, "You're still the same." Baekhyun froze with his chopsticks in hand. A small silence before Baekhyun spoke, "It's cute that you think that." Chanyeol shoots him a grin with crinkles in his eyes smile, "Why? Do you think you've changed?" Baekhyun ignores him and stuffs rice into his mouth. Chanyeol could have awhole conversation by himself and it would still be the greatest conversation in his life.

"Truthfully, I'm stuck between you haven't change and you've changed..though I'm not sure if change is good." Chanyeol plays with his food. Baekhyun laughs scoffing, "..Why are we always talking about me." He wanted to avoid the direction of the conversation. He knew he would just end up upset. Chanyeol smiles, "Why, do you want to talk about me? What do you want to know? I'm an open book."

Baekhyun shakes his head with a mocking smile, "I'm not interested in such a shallow book." He confidently began eating his chicken as Chanyeol laughs shocked by his jab.

"I am a complex health textbook that is both a necessity and useful in saving lives and you are just a five page children's book for entertainment of those just as a shallow. Don't get us confused. I'm on a whole other level out of your league."

Chanyeol covers his mouth as he laughs loudly at his harsh words both amused and slightly hurt. Baekhyun join him in laughing and standing his ground because he meant it.

"Did you just take a jab at Jessie? Why? What did she do?" Chanyeol asks rather amused.

"You're the one who gave a name. Why? Do you think you're own girlfriend is shallow? Just like you? But of course, that's why you two are compatible. Both of your intelligence are exactly alike." Baekhyun laughs with twinkling eyes.

"I just wanted to bring you food and movies-" Baekhyun quickly interrupts Chanyeol. "Should I let her know you called her shallow or should we keep this lowkey?" Chanyeol laughs shocked again. "I didn't even-"

"Should I text her right now?" Baekhyun holds up his phone. Chanyeol's smile immediately grew small, "How did you- why do you have her number?"

Baekhyun smirks, "Are you worried? You should be. I think she just might be heads over heels for me."

Chanyeol's smile slowly disappears, "How so? ..Well of course..because you're a good friend of mine.."

"You really told her that?" Baekhyun laughs amused. "I'll let you know so you don't die from curiosity, she asked for my number."
