The Brunet Next Door (Chanbaek ff)

HanSoo's Resolution

It was beautiful to hear those words, to Chanyeol it was the best thing that happened to him. Even though it was only in his mind, he got to hear it clearly. It felt too real but he doesn't want to assume anymore. He knows Baekhyun is happy now and the only thing that helps him get through it all was the song Baekhyun sang to him in his mind. To him, it was enough.

Baekhyun watched Chanyeol as he walks away. His giant is now distancing himself from him. Did he give up? Is he starting to move on? Baekhyun wants to tell him. No, don't give up just yet. I love you. Please come back to me. But he knows he doesn't have the right to do that. After the pain he caused Chanyeol, he's not worthy to be loved by the taller.

There were times that he wanted to reach out to Chanyeol but he always ended up retreating. Just like now, he wanted to invite him for dinner and once again, he failed. 

"Have you talked to him?" Siwon asked. Baekhyun shook his head and only sighed.

"I tried to but I can't bring myself to talk to him." He brushed his hair, frustrated. "I finally told him that I love him but I guess he didn't hear it."

That night, Baekhyun waited for his response. Enduring the cold wind, he waited. But it seems like Chanyeol didn't hear it. If he did, maybe he forgot it. Baekhyun understands why, Chanyeol got drunk and it's usual for drunk people to forget things, right?

But what if... what if he heard it but he doesn't care anymore?

He bit his lips, preventing to cry while he's working, he took a deep breath and buried the pain deep down so no one will notice. He can't let his personal issues affect his work.

And it's also his fault for not talking to Chanyeol just because he hugged someone who likes him. It was his fault for losing hope and running away. If only he had asked Chanyeol what was really happening, if only he approached Chanyeol instead of giving up, then maybe they're okay by now.

Baekhyun passed by Chaeyeong and her friends this morning and he unintentionally overheard that Chanyeol rejected her. Her friends were comforting her as she cries. Baekhyun never felt so stupid than ever.

He thanked the lady and paid for the frappe he ordered. It's the same frappe Chanyeol always gave him. He sighed and injected the straw. To his disappointment, it's not as sweet as it used to.

Kyungsoo winced and covered his ears when he heard Luhan screaming his name. Not again.

"Kyung!! You need to freaking hear this!!!" Luhan shouted as he wraps his arms around his poor friend. He then shook him and still shouted on his ear. That's when Kyungsoo had enough.

"Fucking stop it!! Seriously, would it hurt you to just tell me quietly and in the simplest way?! Do you really have to do it every fucking time?! You bitch, if I go deaf one of these days, I will surely pull your fucking esophagus and take your voice box and crush it right in front of your eyes!!" Kyungsoo caught his breathe and heaved.

Luhan stared at him, shocked. He blinked his eyes a few times and the next thing Kyungsoo knew, he was laughing his ass of.

"Fine, fine. I'm sorry. You still love me though." Luhan grinned.

Kyungsoo raised his eyebrow. "Who said that I love you? I only love Jongin and Baekhyun, not you."

Luhan pouted. "You're so cruel, Soo!" And it was Kyungsoo's turn to laugh.

"I was just kidding. Anyways, what did you want to tell me?"

"It's about Chanyeol and our Baekhyun!"
