I woke up with a lingering pain in my head. Im thanking that my body is healthy and high resistance so that I don't need to deal health complications although the rain yesterday seemed to get me. As I was struggling to sit on my bed, I suddenly remembered Baekhyun being soaked up and getting sic-Oh, shit.
I scrambled on my phone only to see sms messages from Jieun but none from Baek. I texted Jieun that I'll be late for our date and quickly took a shower and dashed outside.
💞F L A S H B A CK💞
"Yum! Yum! Stowberwy Showrtquake! Mmm! Yuuummmmyyy!" A certain puppy giggled laying on the small bed bed and kicking his tiny little feet in the air while munching a piece of strawberry shortcake. Not to mention that he's already 8 years old that time.
"Shh! Your mom's gonna scold me when she find out I'm letting you eat lots of sweet things! Aish, how can you giggle like that while having a fever..." Chanyeol pouted wiping the latter's mouth. He sighed and just fed the smaller a spoonful of the scrumptious cake on his bed nonchalantly.
After some time, he took out a small thermometer in his pocket and got Baekhyun checked his temperature.
"37.4 degrees kelvin," Chanyeol muttered and his face shows sadness.
"It's degrees CELSIUS, Yeol, not kelvin!" After he corrected Chanyeol's mistake while laughing, he coughed and asked the latter to get him warm water. After the taller one handed the glass of water, he immediately gulped it slowly and took deep breaths. The giant only watched with worried and concerned eyes. He saw Baekhyun suppressing the pain that he feels and felt his heart constrict in pain too.
Chanyeol doesn't want Baekhyun to get sick and he would trade Baekhyun's sickness for his own health only if it was possible. He got the urge to embrace Baekhyun's waist and let his head fall above Baekhyun's full tummy.
"Baek, please get well already... I don't want to see you like this. Pleasee..." Chanyeol pleaded whining as he burried his round face on the soft fabric of Baekhyun's shirt. He sniffed the sweet scent of his bestfriend, feeling the hole in his heart as he imagined the smaller not able to come to school a couple of days.
"I-It tickles, Chanyeol! Aish, Yeollie don't get too near! You'll get sick too!" Baekhyun tried to pry the latters grip on his waist but he can't so he gave up and just let it be.
"I can't play without you so it's better if I can take your fever and transfer it to my body..." Chanyeol mumbled in Baekhyun's small tummy, sending vibrations, that tickles Baekhyun.
"This bestfriend, and how can we play if you're sick, huh? Besides, you're basically friends with all the kids in the school! You can play with anyone there, go play basketball with the tall guys!" Baekhyun yelled in a matter of fact tone.
"If I get infected, atleast you'll be able to take care of me when I'm sick. Feed me when I'm hungry, change my shirt when it's already soaked in sweat, sing a song for me until I sleep and sneak outside so you can take care of me. And besides, how can I dare to ignore you and play with them if you're sick?!" Chanyeol cited while hiding a sad expression in Baekhyun's warm tummy.
Baekhyun played with Chanyeol's brown curly hair, "That sounds like I'm your mother! That's a role of a mother! Don't you have a mother?!" Baekhyun ranted while slipping a smile between his lips.
Chanyeol spaced out. I do have a mother but... She's always out.
"Says the one whom I'm taking care of. And anyways, that's what bestfriends do! And you know my parents are always away!" Chanyeol lifted his face with a pout plastered on his face ignoring what Baekhyun had asked.
Baekhyun pondered about that thought. Chanyeol is right, his parents are always away. Baekhyun barely see them too. It's super rare for him to meet his parents and the only time he saw them was when Chanyeol had a birthday party and his parents needed to meet the guests. That time when Baekhyun his on Chanyeol's room because he's not invited to the party, yet Chanyeol insisted to make Baekhyun stay that night at their house.
"Hey! I'm just joking! I will take care of you when you're sick ofcourse! I'm your guardian angel right? Now I'm going to sleep because I'm already feel tired. Stay quiet alright?!" Baekhyun exclaimed and closed his eyes to sleep. Rubbing Chanyeol's hair in the process.
"Sleep. I'm going to wait here until you're finally got better." Chanyeol tucked Baekhyun to sleep and kissed him on the forehead.
"Asdfghjkl-" Baekhyun whimpered and dreamed of puppies and giants.
💞E N D OF F L A S H B A C K💞
Chanyeol knocked from the Byun's front door twice and waited for a response. After some time, the brown wooden door opened revealing Baekhyun's brother, Taehyung.
"Oh, hyung what're you doing here?" Taehyung asked and opened the door wider for Chanyeol to come in.
"I just came by to have a quick visit on Baek, is he alright?" Chanyeol asked with worry laced on his voice.
"He's in his room. He doesn't feel well, hyung. So I'm going to tell his manager that he was sick and he's not able to go to work." The younger stated.
"Can you drive safely?" The taller asked.
"I drive Mr.Suwong's truck at the factory.." he answered.
"Use my car then, it'll be easier." Chanyeol exclaimed. It took time for Taehyung to accept Chanyeol's offer until Chanyeol insisted. He knew Taehyung can drive, because he taught him.
Chanyeol entered the narrow hallway and walked up to Baekhyun's room.
"Hey buddy," Chanyeol whispered after he opened the door. But then he realized that Baekhyun was laying on the bed, still sleeping.
Chanyeol muttered a small "oh". He then got nearer beside Baekhyun and saw nothing but a glass of water on the bedside table and the medicines he bought yesterday.
After some time Taehyung already came home, "His manager said that it's fine and sent wishes to hyung so that he will get better soon."
"Why don't you go buy fruits and medicine, Tae. Don't forget to pick up some strawberries, he likes that one. Ripe mangoes, peaches, oranges, grapes and pineapples- okay just grab anything sweet. Don't worry about the expenses. Here's the money,-wait are you busy?" Chanyeol stated while handing the money.
"Not really, hyung. We have swimming practice later this afternoon. Thanks for always taking care of my brother, hyung. I'm sorry if we can't even buy him medicines like the ones you buy for him." Taehyung bowed his head embarrassed and guilty by the fact that they can't take care of his hyung anything better than Chanyeol.
"Taehyung, you know that Baekhyun is my bestfriend right? I care for him like how you do. I only wish for your brother's health and I will be here always for him. It's okay to me as long as it's for Baekhyun's sake, so don't worry." Chanyeol patted Taehyung's shoulder and smiled. Taehyung nodded and again thanked Chanyeol in return.
After that, he watched the purring puppy who's sleeping on his bed. The angelic face of his, his fair complexion with a slight shade of pink and his soothing scent. It's Baekyun, all just Bekhyun. Chanyeol thought.
He swiped the fringe from Baekhyun's forehead, that's when Baekhyun suddenly felt a presence, scrunching his face and opening his eyes one at a time, "Shoot, I didn't mean to wake you up." Chanyeol held his hands on the air defensively like he had been caught on a crime.
Baekhyun just chuckled and pushed Chanyeol's face hard with his warm bare hands, "Yeol, why are you here? Aish, I'm sick, don't come too close." Baekhyun croaked, out of his dried throat. Chanyeol then realised how near his face on Baekhyun that moment.
"Tch. Here we go again. Is it bad to visit my sick friend." Chanyeol sighed dejectedly and rolled his eyes because he always hear those statements from Baekhyun whenever he's around while the latter's sick.
Not long after Taehyung arrived home while carrying a basket of assorted fruits and a packet of medicines.
"I'm here, hyung. Oh, Baekhyun-hyung you're awake! How are you feeling?" Taehyung asked worriedly while placing the basket of assorted fruits in the table.
"I'm fine, saeng. Why did you buy these-Ugh of course...Chanyeol, how many times do I need to tell you that you don't need to buy everything for me? Ugh, you're so hard-headed." Baekhyun sighed, slapping his forehead lightly as he held on Chanyeol's bicep with his free hand.
"Is this your way of thanking if someone buy you stuffs Mr.Byun?" Chanyeol raised an eyebrow with a deep voice. Baekhyun fiddled with his hands and bowed his head.
"But...it's just that it's only weekends when you don't treat me snacks and then you're giving me stuffs again and it makes me feel like I'm abusing your wealth or-or maybe you'll gonna think that I'm taking advantage of you...I just-."
"Shhh..Enough of it. You know, this is why I continue doing this kind of stuffs. You care more about others than yourself. You don't take advantage. You're different from them. And you're the person who works hard to achieve something. And I love you as my best friend." He stated that left Baekhyun silent.
Love. Baekhyun blushed at the thought, thankfully his fever is making him looked pinkish right now, it hid the shade on her cheeks.
"Aish, ofcourse I-OH MY GOD! I'M LATE!!" Baekhyun frantically jumped on his bed and quickly sat up only to be pushed back on the bed by two big colloused hands.
"Taehyung already told your manager that you'll not be able to work and wished that you'll be better soon." Chanyeol said while climbing on Baekhyun's bed. Tucking Baekhyun beneath the sheets and pulling him closer as he snuck his arms on the latter's nape.
"Oh, but-."
"No buts, now let me check your body temperature." Chanyeol sternly said and reached the small thermometer on Baek's drawer.
"37.5 deagrees celcius," Chanyeol mumbled while checking the thermometer.
"You're still having it." Chanyeol groaned as he put back the equipment inside the drawer.
"You used to say 'degrees kelvin' when we were young, Chanyeol." Baek snickered. I was little back then, Chanyeol mentally ranted.
Chanyeol just squeezed himself beside Baekhyun's small bed and hook his hand under the latter's head like a pillow. He then took a lychee in the basket, peeled it off then fed Baekhyun with it.
He fed Baekhyun with different fruits until he was full and satisfied.
Baekhyun slid his arms gently around Chanyeol's waist and hugged him.
"Thanks for being here." Baekhyun confessed as he took a deep breath, memorizing Chanyeol's perfume.
Chanyeol shifted to accommodate the smaller. He ran his thumb on the latter's cheeks then tucking his hair unto the back of the smaller's ear.
"When was I not?" He whispered.
Baekhyun blushed even more so to hide it, he nuzzled unto the latter's side near his armpit.
"I just love you." Baekhyun muffled unto the latter's shirt. Chanyeol didn't reply to the statement. Instead, something stirred inside him that he just couldn't point out except that his gut had this tingling feeling and his heart swelling in contentment.
"Mm. Thanks Dr.Park~~"Baekhyun whispered. Tugging on the taller tighter as he focused onto the latter's heartbeat.
"My pleasure, patient Byun." Chanyeol only smiled and gave Baekhyun a gentle squeeze and as he constantly caressed the smaller's back. Baekhyun sighed in relief and that's when they started to drift into sleep.
"Just like old times." Chanyeol muttered , giving out a sigh of contentment while getting Baekhyun tucked in the bedsheets with him.
"Just like old times." Baekhyun repeated while nuzzling his face on top of Chanyeol's toned chest.
Chanyeol's phone vibrated not once, twice but probably more than a couple of times but his mind has been already occupied by a certain puppy to even reach out to the softly vibrating device on the table. Without a doubt, he had long forgotten the date that him and Jieun is supposed to attend to.
The quick visit turned out to be all day.
