Chanyeol

"What do you mean?" Chanyeol glared. "I don't look at you as a plague."

Baekhyun snorted. "It sure seems like it."

Chanyeol stopped walking and so did Baekhyun. "I could never bring myself to hate you," he mumbled, but Baekhyun heard it perfectly.

"You can't? It sure as hell looks like you already do!" he yelled. Chanyeol turned around, facing his back against the younger so he wouldn't see his face. "I hated you," he started, "I hated you so much. I felt so hurt when you gave up on everything we had with each other just like that. I hated you for listening to your father and not giving us a chance," Baekhyun blurted out, already choking on his tears. "I shouldn't have cared anymore, I knew that, but I couldn't stop. I cared, a lot. And I still fucking care about you asshole. 

"For years after we broke up, I always had my phone with me. There wasn't a moment where I didn't have it close to me, and do you know why?" He waited to see a reaction from the elder, but he stood completely still facing his back towards him. What he didn't see was that the giant was already crying from his speech. "I hoped that for a moment, just for a moment, I'd hear from you.

"I waited for a call, or even just a text message. I didn't care whether it was just one word; I just wanted to hear from you. I never stopped believing – believing you've changed your mind and wanting to still be by my side – although I should've stopped, as it never came true. I never heard from you, and the moment I was trying to fill my mind with work, you appear here all of sudden. Do you think I'll possibly get over you now that I'll see you way too often?"

Chanyeol tried so hard not to let him hear his sobbing. Hearing the younger just blurting out his thoughts and feelings pained him too much. He really wanted badly to turn around hug the petite crying boy, but he forced himself not to. He couldn't fall for him again, although he was questioning if he ever stopped loving him.

"Turn around, you asshole!" Baekhyun yelled whilst punching his back over and over again, although he couldn't bring himself to actually hurt him seriously. "Why aren't you saying anything?" Baekhyun cried harder than before; they were both glad they were in a room not many would visit so no one was around to witness them. "Why do you keep on hurting me like this, you idiot!" he yelled again, "I don't want to love you anymore, so stop being you!" Baekhyun didn't notice how much nonsense he was blurting out. All he could focus on was the overwhelming feeling he thought he was dying from. So much pain was found in his heart, and it was even worse than physical pain he had ever had before in his life. He swore to himself he'd never fall in love ever again.

Chanyeol continued to stand still, receiving the punches on his back. He let him continue, to relieve his pain on him. The elder wanted to take the pain away from him, even though he knew Baekhyun would feel the same pain later on.

"I've had enough," he mumbled as he stopped, "If you're not going to say anything, then I'll leave."

Chanyeol was fighting hard against his own will. No matter what, he couldn't lose to his heart. When his eyes automatically searched for the younger as he turned around to leave him, his body started moving on his own. No, he thought to himself, don't. "B-Baekhyun," he whispered between his cries. The smaller didn't seem to have heard him as he continued to walk...and Chanyeol lost it. He flung himself over Baekhyun, hugging him tightly like he was afraid he was going to disappear into thin air. "Baekhyun," he cried out loud.

Baekhyun

Baekhyun stood completely still, too shocked to even react. Did Chanyeol just prevent him into walking away?

When he tried to glance up at the taller, his eyes were all red from crying; it meant he had been crying for a while, he thought, is that why he was having his back towards me? Baekhyun's thoughts were interrupted by the elder's loud cries. He was crying even harder than he did the night they had to separate.

Baekhyun realised how selfish and egoistic he had been. He never even considered how Chanyeol had been feeling at all. He just hated him for giving up on them, not even thinking how hard it was to finally find someone he's loved for the first time, but being forced to push them away from his own father. Chanyeol wasn't the one to blame here, and Baekhyun felt bad for calling him a bad person and hating him for what he did when he never wanted to do it in the first place. 

"Chanyeol," Baekhyun began, tears building up again, "I'm so sorry."

The elder loosened up his grip of him. "Why are you apologising?" he asked teary-eyed.

Baekhyun looked down, too ashamed of himself to look him straight in the eyes. "Because I blamed you for something I shouldn't have," he muttered.

Chanyeol smiled sweetly as he used his hand to gently move Baekhyun's head upwards to meet his gaze. They both stared at each other, trying to think of what the other was thinking, which they most likely guessed correctly. I still love you. Without thinking, they both leaned closer to kiss the other; the kiss they had both been longing for. The special kiss they had missed so much it had hurt them so much it drove them nuts.

"Holy mother of Jesus," a voice suddenly exclaimed surprise, which made them jump apart immediately after hearing the voice. As they males turned to look whom had caught them, it was Minseok who's smirking at them. "And I was worried you wouldn't like each other," he said in his obvious teasing tone.

"Get out hyung, I'll explain later," Chanyeol yelled – mostly out of embarrassment than anger – as he waved his hands rapidly around, hoping his hyung would take the hint.

Baekhyun couldn't help but to giggle at the elder's embarrassment as his ears turned bright red. "Don't mind him," he smiled.

Chanyeol turned back to the smaller one with a happy smile. "Baekhyun, I-"

Baekhyun interrupted him by tiptoeing and kissing him. "No need to apologise Chanyeol," he smiled as he intertwined their fingers together.

"But you were right. I didn't fight for us," he muttered, ashamed of himself, "but I will this time. I will do anything to win you back, and winning over my father."

Baekhyun giggled at the serious look on his face. He poked his wrinkles on the forehead from his frown, which was immediately replaced by a smile from the younger's action. "You've already accomplished one of them," he smiled sweetly as he pecked him on his cheek.

"I promise I won't give up," he said determined.

Baekhyun chuckled with a soft smile. "I know."

Baekhyun had no reason to not believe his boyfriend again. He could already tell from his expression and seriousness that he really meant his words. He could see how determined Chanyeol already was.

Baekhyun didn't even want to say he regretted all of this that had happened to them. Surely, they were both hurt from the same pain none of them meant to cause the other, but in the end they couldn't take it anymore and gave up as they ran into each other's arms.

And that's how the two males learned that even if they fell apart at one point, they were supposed to find each other again to fall back together; just like how they did the first time they fell for the other.

The end.
