"This wasn't a good idea" Baekhyun mumbles to himself.

"Hmm?" Luckily Chanyeol didn't hear what he said and when Baekhyun ignored his response, Chanyeol just passed it over as though the boy didn't say a thing.

The two boys had been wondering around for a while now, maybe for 20 minutes or so, and Baekhyun was relying 100% on Chanyeol to direct him back to somewhere safe, preferably his apartment. Baekhyun didn't know the streets as well as he might have done before the accident, not to mention it was too dark to even memorise the places they wondered past. Chanyeol seemed to be calm and peaceful and relaxed, Baekhyun just hoped he knew where he was Going otherwise they'd both be in big trouble.

"You know where we are right?" Baekhyun asked anxiously, staying very close to the taller just in case someone tried to kidnap him.

Chanyeol laughed and nodded. "Of course I do. Don't you trust me?"

"Yes, but—"

"We're nearly there, don't worry"

"I'm not worrying, who said I'm worrying?"

"Baek, I can tell" Chanyeol smiled down towards Baekhyun next to him as the walked. They continued to bump arms and occasionally brush hands.
"It's so obvious"

"It is?" Baekhyun pouts with slightly tainted cheeks. It was lucky for hm that Chanyeol couldn't properly see it.

"Yes"

They continue walking for another five minutes and soon, Baekhyun could see his apartment in view. It looked tiny now he had seen Kyungsoos house but in the end Baekhyun didn't mind.

Chanyeol walked right up to the door with him making him slightly nervous as he turned around to say goodbye.

"Thanks" Baekhyun said, not knowing what else to say. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow"

Chanyeol hummed in agreement and smiled. Baekhyun was just about to turn back around to open his door when the taller stopped him. "Wait, Baek"

"Yeah?"

Chanyeol scratched the back of his neck and sniffed before he said anything. Baekhyun stood anticipating what the boy would say, hoping it was nothing bad or embarrassing.

"Do you..." Chanyeol started, clearing his throat. "Do you, um, actually... like... Sehun still?"

Baekhyun's mouth dropped open a fraction. I guess he didn't really make it clear that he didn't did he?
" No!" He almost wanted to face palm himself. "I don't know what I was like before but I certainly don't like him now, I swear! He's not my type."

Chanyeol cocked his head to the side for a moment and stared at the floor as though he was still thinking about it. But then Baekhyun found out why.
"Then... is Minseok your type?"

"What?"

"I mean– you two seem pretty close—"

Baekhyun covered his face with his hands, shaking his head from side to side. When he let go and looked up to Chanyeol, he attempted to smile through his embarrassment. "He's only a friend" with that Baekhyun watched Chanyeols mouth twitch into a smile and his heart begins to thump.

"Good"

"Good?" He asked, trying to stop himself from grinning ridiculously in what's supposed to be a serious conversation.

"Well I mean, he's too short for you"

Baekhyun laughed. He dared himself to say "and what do you mean by that?"

"Just... just that I think someone taller would...look good with you"

Baekhyun almost forgot how to breathe for a second as he stared up to Chanyeol without a word to reply with. He could hear his own heart freaking out in his chest, beating like crazy, and just hoped Chanyeol couldn't hear it too.

After a long period of silence from the smaller, Chanyeols eyes flickered to any thing that wasn't Baekhyun, avoiding his eyes especially, before taking a deep breath in.
"I should get going" taking a step back, he raised his hand and waved to Baekhyun who was still sort of lost for words on the doorstep. Baekhyun waved back after composing himself.
Chanyeol swivelled on his heels and began to walk away.

"Goodnight!" Baekhyun raised his voice so the boy could hear him.

Chanyeol spun round, still moving backwards and raised his hand higher, above his head. "Goodnight, Baek! Sleep well" and with that the taller strode off into the darkness.
