"Nearly 4 months"

Was what Baekhyun Said as he crossed of yet another date on his calendar. The calendar had a picture on each month, it looked like a cartoon but Baekhyun couldn't recognise what it was. Probably another childhood memory he had forgotten.

His mother had organised a day trip out for the whole family but never told him where they were going. Not that it matter to Baekhyun, because he wouldn't know anyway but just the general idea would be nice. Anyway Baekhyun packed a few things in a backpack to keep himself entertained on the journey there;apparently it took two or three hours to get to. He packed a book and a map and a notebook and a sketchbook and a few pens and pencils to go with them. Baekhyun couldn't say he was any good at drawing or writing but if it was only for himself to see, there wasn't any harm in trying. He put his phone and earphones in his hoodie pocket so he had them at all times.

A few minutes later his brother came in. "You ready?"

Baekhyun looked over his shoulder and answered with a nod.

"Here let me carry that for you" Baekbeom said rushing towards the backpack before Baekhyun could even get it over his shoulders.

Baekhyun pulled the backpack closer to his chest and his brother stopped half way in the room. "No. I've got it" Baekhyun said.

Baekbeom then gave a smile. "Ok, let's get going, they're waiting in the car"

Baekhyun nodded, avoiding his brothers eyes and waited until the older had gone out of the room firs before swinging his bag on his back and exited his room. Baekhyun was the last out the house so he locked up and joined his family in the car.

Since he had gotten in the car, Baekhyun had already had two calls from the same guy as the day before: Chanyeol. Luckily he had his earphones in when the ringing began because then that meant he didn't have to talk to his family about it. He didn't want to start a conversation with this Chanyeol while his family was around so he decided to decline them. Maybe if the guy called later when they weren't around, he would answer.

Baekhyun was now almost falling asleep with a map of South Korea and his notebook sprawled over his lap. Whenever Baekhyun passed a sign he noted down the name and checked it on the map. If he drove through a place or street that strikes his attention he would draw a little star next to the name. But gradually this made him that sleepy that he was forced to close his eyes and take a nap.

Another hour or so passed and before he knew it Baekhyun was woken up by his brother. When he stepped out the car, after putting his map and notebook in his bag, he looked at the view around him. He was standing in a huge car park that must had spread for miles, but most importantly, in front of the car park was a building in the far distance with fancy letters that spelled:

"Aiins World?" I read, squinting my eyes.

"Yup, a theme park, it's got tiny famous buildings and everything" Baekbeom says joining him by his side.

"Have we been before?" I ask.

"Nope. Heard it's good though. A friend of mine has been."

As they walked further to the sign, the more people Baekhyun could see queuing up to get in. Must be good, Baekhyun was thought, with how many people there are.
They waited their turn and eventually, after paying, the family were in. Baekhyun reminded himself to take lots of pictures.

Baekhyun actually loved the place. The more they wondered around the more excited and fascinated he got. He loved all the replicas of all the buildings and took many photos of them. After seeing all of them, his father suggested getting hot dogs or ice cream. Baekhyun hadn't tasted an ice cream for a very long time, he was happy to have one again.

"Are you having a good time?" His mother asked as Baekhyun sat watching people from all over the world walk by him.

He nodded with a smile. "A great time"

"That's good then my darling, we should visit more places like this don't you think?"

"That would be wonderful"

"Hello again"

"Hello" Chanyeol said. "I'm glad you picked up"

Baekhyun strangely caught himself smiling to himself. "Whys that?"

"No reason. I'm just glad you did"

"Ok" Baekhyun laughed. He was now at home lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling as he talked to Chanyeol. It was strange that he felt more confident to talk to this guy than his own brother. Strange but annoying in a lot of ways. "Is there any reasons why you called again today?"

"Same as before." He said simply. "It's nice to here your voice. You sound better than expected."

"Why, did you think I would have lost my voice too?"

"No you just seem happy and cheerful. That's a good thing"

"I've had a good day."

"I'm glad to hear it"

"Chanyeol," Baekhyun started, suddenly thinking of a question he needed answering. "Are you going to be calling me every day?"

After a slight hesitation, Chanyeol answered. "Would you prefer it if I didn't?"

"You answered my question with another question.

"Well if you didn't like it then I will stop.."  Baekhyun smiled, Chanyeol sounded like a lovely person to meet.

"So was that a yes or a no?"

"... yes.?." Chanyeol replied but it sounded more like another question. Baekhyun let it slide.

"Ok" Baekhyun laughed.

Chanyeol must have thought he was going to say something else because he replied with "wait what? So does that mean I'm allowed to"

"No ones stopping you" Baekhyun said.

"Wow ok"

Baekhyun closed his eyes and imagined the boy smiling just like Baekhyun was, he also imagined what Chanyeol looked like to put an image to the deep voice. Chanyeols voice was one of those that Baekhyun could actually fall asleep too without even trying. It was soft and calm and sounded great when he held the speaker right next to his ear.

"Have you had a good day Chanyeol?" Baekhyun asked when the line went quiet.

"It's been alright. Not the best"

"And whys that? Tell me your troubles."he chuckles, eyes still closed.

"I wouldn't want to bore you with the troubles I have. Besides it wasn't like that, it was just another boring day"

"Well, if you say so"

"So"

Baekhyun laughs even though that was the stupidest thing he's heard all day and it's not even anything to laugh at.
"How funny" he says with a sarcastic tone.

"Thanks" Chanyeol replied and for a moment it felt like Baekhyun could just hear the smile of Chanyeols lips. "I try my best"
