Um, yeah... :)

Where do I begin?

So...

10K...

10,000...

That's a big number...

Yowza...

And the first chapter has over 1K views...

Over 1,000 have clicked on my book in less than four months...

Wow...

...

...

...

I don't even know anymore...

I feel like saying 'thank you' to everything is becoming less meaningful...

But I really do mean each and every one of those 'thank you's.

Every comment, vote, add to reading list, follow... they make my day...

I update first thing in the morning,

I leave for school, then come back about ten to twelve hours later...

The number of notifications that are in my box when I get back home are now over 100 on my update days...

I remember being ecstatic to see ten notifications after a long day...

This is just ridiculous.

...

...

...

Yeah...

Hop on over to 'Inside My Mind' for the rest of this... or else there'll be no story left... :D

*claps hands*

Okay! Back to business! :D

Drumroll please...

Exo-Byun , do you remember this? :D

In case you didn't see, this was from the 5K special I did a while back. It was to ask the characters questions, and I would respond to them as the characters.

This was a question for Chanyeol. :)

So, I'll be writing this out for the 10K special! (Did that make sense?) :)

(I personally thought it was a really creative answer on my part, but that's just me.) :D

(This takes place before they got engaged/married.) :D

Side note: If you pick up on anything, don't make it too obvious in the comments. It's sort of like an Easter egg for people who have read all my books! :D Keep an eye out! (Hint: There are two, and they're from the same book.) ;)

Third Person

"Baek!" Chanyeol calls from in front of the TV in the hotel room they were staying at. "Come here!"

Baekhyun takes his headphones out of his ears and walks over to his boyfriend. The ravenet flops down on top of the giant. "What's up?"

"The sky." Chanyeol pecks his boyfriend's cheek and sets him upright.

Baekhyun pouts.

"I'm just bored."

"Oh come on!"

"Here, let's do that acting warm-up we always had to do in college. It was always so much fun." Chanyeol thinks back wistfully to a few years ago.

"Fine. Which one?"

"Here, I'll start. You guess and follow on."

"Okay." Baekhyun wraps his arms around the giant's neck and rests against him.

Chanyeol changes his expression to one of mockery. "Oops, sorry 'bout that. Such a shame that it's drenched."

Baekhyun thinks for a moment, trying to recall the line while admiring his boyfriend's acting skills. He absentmindedly draws little circles into the nape of Chanyeol's neck. Chanyeol hugs him close, though his expression reminds the same, with some effort. The giant wanted to bury his head into Baekhyun's sweet smelling hair, but held back.

Baekhyun shakes his head. "It's okay. It'll be like it's underwater. What's a little water to a watercolor painting?" He grins teasingly.

The giant turns his expression into one of confusion and anger. "Aren't you supposed to be mad? Be mad! I just ruined your chance in the art competition! The entry deadline is tomorrow! You can't possibly finish. Be mad! Yell! Scream! Get angry! It's okay! I deserve it!" He pushes Baekhyun's arms off him for good measure.

"Why would I be? It's just an art competition. I can enter again next year. I don't think I'm ready anyways. The painting isn't exactly ruined either."

Baekhyun watches as Chanyeol's eyes take on a wild light. Wow, he's good.

"Why aren't you mad!?" Chanyeol balls his hands into fists.

"I know what it is Chanyeol. I knew from the beginning. You don't have to hide anything." Baekhyun reaches for Chanyeol's shoulder, but gets batted away.

"Know what?"

"Why you're like this to me."

Chanyeol stares disbelievingly.

"You hate me for a petty reason, but you like me too."

"Like you? Are you absurd!?"

"You tell me." Baekhyun traces his hand over Chanyeol's well built body. The giant bites his lower lip.

"I don't like you. I can't like you."

"Can't? Or won't? Too afraid, are we?" Baekhyun taps Chanyeol nose teasingly. "Believe me. I know. It's hard to push down your ego sometimes."

Chanyeol grits his teeth.

"Here. Maybe this'll change your mind." Baekhyun leans forward until their lips meet.

The giant loses it then.

Disregarding the rest of the scene, Chanyeol hungrily devours Baekhyun's candy-sweet lips.

The older just goes along with it, also wanting.

Chanyeol pins Baekhyun down on the couch and kisses him passionately. Baekhyun's fingers find their way to Chanyeol's fiery hair, tangling within the locks. "Yeol."

"Hm?"

Baekhyun breaks away for air, his lips slightly swollen. "That was not part of the scene."

Chanyeol licks his lips. "Mm-hmm." He wraps his arms around his petite boyfriend and sighs in content.

"Yah! You big doof! Get off! I'm being squished!" Baekhyun hits the giant's shoulder.

"Okay, okay." Chanyeol sits up, criss-crossing his legs on the couch.

"I have to admit. I'm throughly impressed." Baekhyun places his head in his boyfriend's lap. "That was good. I was almost scared."

Chanyeol laughs, his attention all on the ravenet. "Now you know not to get me angry." He touches his boyfriend's cheek lovingly.

"Oh, I'll still get you mad at me at one point." Baekhyun shakes his head. "It's gonna happen."

"I don't doubt it."

"But honestly, that was amazing. We don't do this often enough." Baekhyun kisses a trail down Chanyeol's neck. "I don't get to see you angry very often anyways."

"Oh, I could probably be a lot worse than I just was."

"Really?" Baekhyun squints a little.

"What? Do you want to see?" Chanyeol tucks a bit of hair behind Baekhyun's ear.

"No. I'm good!" Baekhyun squeaks.

"That's what I thought."

"Why are you so good at everything? Like, everything. You have the looks, charm, skills, you can sing, you can play instruments, you can act, you give amazing kisses... do I have to go on?"

"What can I say? I'm the Park Chanyeol." The giant plays with his boyfriend's hair, letting the strands fall through his fingers.

"Right. And I'm just Byun Baekhyun."

"Are you hinting to the fact that I still haven't proposed?" Chanyeol laughs at the not-so-subtle hint.

Baekhyun flushes a slight pink.

"I will, love. Eventually." Chanyeol pecks the crown of Baekhyun's head. "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten."

Baekhyun grips at his boyfriend's shirt, burying his face into the cloth. "Yah!"

"What? That's not what you were hinting at?"

"No?" Baekhyun bunches up the material.

"Oh, alright. I don't believe you at all."

"I hate you so much right now," the ravenet grumbles.

"I love you too." Chanyeol grins cheekily.

My goodness.

So...

Did any of you figure at least one of them out?

What about both?

:D

Hehe! One of them was like a little snippet for what happens much, much later down the road. :)

<3

There's really not much left to say, so...

Bai! <3
