Chanyeol woke up early only to disconnect the batteries of his alarm clock before that little thing rumbles and wake up the whole neighborhood or we could say, so it wouldn't wake a certain baby dwarf. He slowly untangled his legs and arms from the smaller and prevented a smile when he saw that Baekhyun was drooling from his sleep again. He gently wiped the drool from the sides of the latter's mouth before standing up. He went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and did his morning routines.
What happened last night is just an accident. He reminded himself as he continued his routine.
He wore this plain gray sweatshirt and sweatpants. He also grabbed a dark beanie and wore his rubber shoes. It was a bit foggy outside when he jogged around the street like he does every weekend and so the stray of sun rays crept from behind the veils of clouds a little after.
When he got back, he realized that Baekhyun is still asleep. And there, an idea came to his mind.
With a smile forming in his lips and a glint on his eyes, he walked towards the kitchen, determined to prepare the only breakfast meal that he knows.- well except for ramen cup noodles and instant goods of course.
Pancakes...
Wiping the sweat beads from his temple and tugging his sweaty sweatshirt away from his steamingly hot body, he wore a white apron instead.
He grabbed the pancake mix and eggs on the counter with a grin. Basically walking around, topless.
He began cracking the eggs and mixing the pancake flour in the mixing bowl. Here and there, he looked like a responsible husband on TVs.
After whisking it for about 2 minutes, he moved it onto the pancake pan and waited patiently.
While waiting, he also opened the fridge and reached out for a carton of milk and an orange juice box pouring into two large glasses basically because he doesn't know what would Baekhyun eventually like although that bunny like everything, he thought. He also poured two cups of steaming brewed coffee for option. When the pancakes are already prepared, he sets them on two plates.
Four on Baekhyun's plates, three for him.
Okay, let's make his pancake five. Chanyeol exclaimed, eyes shining as he put another one on the latter's plate.
After looking at the plain plates with pancakes sitting neatly on the table, a genuine accomplished grin formed from the giant's face before he frowned. He still felt not really content from the meal in front of him, he wanted more to impress a certain puppy. He felt embarrassed because it was his first time preparing for breakfast with his own hands- this special.
That's how special Baekhyun is to him.
Usually, he wouldn't care about breakfast and just skip with it only to eat at school, but today was different because he felt eager and creative knowing that a special person was with him. His best friend was with him.
Flicking his hands while gazing at the fridge that was overloaded with ingredients, he was clearly thinking of what else he can make with his large hands- aside from hot water and cup noodles, but other else. He immediately grinned when he saw the bacon and of course when there's bacon, there are eggs! Again...
He was about to crack another batch of eggs when he was disrupted by the ringing doorbell. Confused, he walked towards the door and opened it only to see... Jieun.
"Babe?" Chanyeol pronounced, a bit hesitant. Jieun just grinned kissing the taller on the cheek. She walked past him so that he could enter the house, her heels clicking on the floor.
"Yup, that's me." She said while walking towards the living room, glancing at the kitchen when she smelled the sizzling bacon that was being fried. Chanyeol just followed.
"I never knew that you could cook," Jieun said while tiptoeing and kissing Chanyeol on the cheeks.
"Yeah, me too," Chanyeol whispered, paying attention to the frying pan and turning the bacon upside down.
"I heard you've been sick lately," Jieun asked as she examined Chanyeol who had his lips tugged upward while busying himself cooking.
"Yeah," Chanyeol uttered smiling a bit. Jieun just narrowed her eyes to look at Chanyeol's back as if suspecting that her boyfriend was somehow lying because he clearly remembered that Chanyeol was absent yesterday because he didn't feel well.
Well, that's strange. Jieun mumbles under her breath.
Jieun sat from one of the cozy chairs on the oval table and saw that two plates are lying just above the glass table.
Jieun suspected that there's someone with Chanyeol but then she realized that maybe his mother is at home.
"I brought you some chocolates from the states, my mom told me to give it to you." She engaged in fishing a slim silver rectangular chocolate box from her bag.
"You know that I'm not a fan of sweets, right?" Chanyeol spoke calmly. His back facing the latter.
"Yeah right, but these are expensive." she rolled her eyes. "Anyway, where's Mrs.Park?" She asked as she plopped his elbows above the table, scrutinizing his bloody red nail polished fingers.
"She's at work. Dad's not coming home until the end of the month." He mumbled still focused on the bacon.
So why do you have two plates if-
A certain dwarf who was busy rubbing his sleepy almond-shaped eyes came from upstairs with Chanyeol's huge blue T-shirt, revealing a great contrast of his pale complexion with it while just using one of his boxers on. Baekhyun didn't notice Jieun and so he paddled straight to the topless guy and hug its waist while creeping in between the giant's working hand like it's the most normal thing to do.
"I never knew that you could cook," Baekhyun repeated Jieun's words coincidentally making the lady's ears perk as if she detected mockery in the smaller's voice.
Baekhyun chuckled when he saw the burnt parts of the Bacon. He just hummed cutely while grabbing some condiments to put on the slices of bacon, tickling Chanyeol in the process. The shine on Baekhyun's face never leaving and that morning smile makes the taller's heart strangely leap.
What the hell does Baekhyun doing here with the Park's residence? This was the first thought that was processed on her system.
"G-Good morning." Chanyeol suddenly felt a blush on his cheeks, remembering the kiss from last night. Fck, I'm ruined. Chanyeol thought breathlessly.
"Morning," Baekhyun mumbled, pulling away from Chanyeol and-
He turned his back against Chanyeol and he saw Jieun sitting on a dining chair a few feet away from him. Jieun's eyebrow pulled upwards.
"Uhh... Hi, Goodmorning," Baek greeted though he suddenly felt awkward while trying to smile.
"Good morning?" Jieun questioned feeling her stomach flip from anger when she realized that he did not only sleep here but he also used Chanyeol's clothes.
"Why are you here??" Jieun came a bit harsh and Baekhyun clearly noticed that. Jieun's train of negative thoughts clouded her mind.
"Uhh... Uhmm... I just..." He has spoken a bit nervous. Jieun plans to check Chanyeol if he's alright now, but it seems like Baekhyun got here first. Got him first.
"Leave him alone. He came here to accompany me." Chanyeol interrupted.
"With what?" Jieun flickered, hissing a little bit dry while she was secretly clenching her palms under the table. So this speaks the reason why Chanyeol was okay again, huh?
It's a relief for Baekhyun when Chanyeol spoke for him,
"None of your business," Chanyeol remained calm, sensing Jieun's tone of voice. He started setting the bacon and eggs on the table rather cautiously. Though aware that the girl was riled up.
Jieun felt aggravated by the sudden coldness of Chanyeol.
"Why didn't you ask me instead? You would have asked for another sex again, would you?" Jieun's pissed voice crippled rolling her eyes in Chanyeol's direction. Baekhyun was uneducated about those kinds of things so he just gulped, blush on his cheeks, and felt heat climb from the tip of his ears.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" Now it's time that Jieun become tensed by the aggressive words -including Baekhyun that came from Chanyeol's mouth. It's totally clear that Chanyeol has begun to lose his patience as he looked at Jieun with his sharp dark eyes.
"WELL, WHAT I'M TELLING YOU IS THAT WHY DIDN'T YOU ASKED ME INSTEAD IF YOU WANTED A GOOD FUCK!" Jieun's blunt and vulgar words shocked Baekhyun but the statement made a certain giant stand still while his temper vanished instantly.
Jieun felt exploding because of all of her jealousy. She saw Kai's Instagram about the field trip thing before and witnessed how clingy Baekhyun and his boyfriend are. And it only made him puff when he saw them all okay again, now.
Uhh...w-what? Baekhyun mentally quirked as he gazed upon the frowning lady on his left.
"Who are you to insult him like that?" Chanyeol's voice suddenly got deadly calm yet the world knows that it's cold and dangerous. His jaw clenched with that angry aura. He was damn trying to calm himself because he doesn't want to get angry and hurt Jieun but she tested the waters enough to break the ice on Chanyeol's sane calmness.
The petrifying deep voice finally hit Jieun's mind to process what was happening.
She suddenly felt scared and sorry for the sudden outburst, "C-Chanyeol I...I didn't mean to" She tried but was cut off by the taller's infamous deadly voice as she was too late.
"Get. Out." He said while not breaking eye contact with Jieun's teary eyes.
Baekhyun just gasped while his feet were impaled on the ground. He wanted to stop the fight but he was scared too and particularly because he doesn't know if meddling in a relationship is a good thing to do now.
"But I-" Jieun tried while her lips were quivering. Silent sobs already leaving her mouth.
"I SAID GET OUT! YOU DON'T EVER TALK TO HIM LIKE THAT!" The voice was diamond clear and commanding, full of authority and power. No wonder why almost all of the students on their campus were scared of Chanyeol. Baekhyun just shut his eyes. He felt pity for Jieun and he just wanted to defend Jieun and all.
On the other part, Jieun was crying and sobbing for the time being but Chanyeol didn't seem to care. It wasn't the first time that the two had a quarrel and those times hadn't put through to the extent like what's happening now.
"Please...I-I'm sorry Chanyeol," She begged with her body shaking from mixed fear and heartbreak.
"Didn't you hear me?" Chanyeol's eyes were sort of daggers that pierced through whoever was brave enough to have contact with it. His voice was calm yet scary not to mention that he was intimidating.
"Chanyeol stop." Baekhyun's voice was trembling as if he was scared to test the waters.
"This is all your fault! Stop acting like you're innocent! I hate you!" Jieun shouted out her lungs while pointing at Baekhyun accusingly. Her eyes were full of hatred and pain as he looked at Baekhyun for the last time. She grabbed her bag at once before running for the front door and leaving instantly with muffled cries.
Baekhyun was so shocked. He doesn't know how to react. He just watched the sophisticated beautiful cheerleader cry in front of them until she left the house.
Minutes had gone very slow. Chanyeol just leaned on the table while massaging his temples while the latter just stood there unable to move.
"You can leave now if you want. I made you mad. I could drive you home." Chanyeol stated, his back facing the smaller.
"Uhm...If that's what you want." Baekhyun muffled while fiddling his hands. Chanyeol looked at the latter, his face softened a little.
"It's okay if you hate me again. It's my fault, anyway." Chanyeol sighed while adverting his disappointed eyes on the prepared food.
"No. I don't hate you. It's just that...you shouldn't have treated Jieun like that, no matter what she did you'd her boyfriend." Baekhyun mumbles while pursing his lips.
"She'd gone overboard. But yeah, you're correct. I shouldn't have done that." The tall male sighed dejectedly.
"I got carried away. She dared to insult you. I just don't want anyone to try to hurt you in any form." Chanyeol confessed that made the smaller feel happy yet sad.
"Because you pity me?" His lips found their way to spit the harsh words.
Chanyeol shot back. "No! Of course not! I don't pity you! It's because you're special to me. -because you're my f-friend." Mine. Chanyeol lowered his voice in the last line nonchalantly.
"Chanyeol, why do you think Jieun hates me?" Baekhyun asked with hurt eyes. He doesn't want to be hated at all.
"I don't know. I'm sorry for what she did." He answered as he looked at Baek apologetically.
"I think I know why she hates me." Baekhyun gloomily states, lifting his face to look at Chanyeol.
"I think she wants me to stay away from you. I think we are too close together." He lowered his gaze as he realize that it was the reason after all. He does not only think of it, he was sure of it because the girl already cleared it out for him.
Chanyeol couldn't utter a word because he himself also knows about this. Jieun would tell Chanyeol to stay away from Baekhyun and Chanyeol would get annoyed and retort that how could he leave his best friend alone. But there's also this feeling in his gut that even though Baek isn't his best friend he would never leave the smaller because he feels like he was responsible for caring and protecting him.
Chanyeol just looked at the plates. He remembered the kiss from last night and it makes him guilty and all. He was frustrated why he kissed his best friend unconsciously.
"If Jieun wanted me to stay away from you so that you will not fight anymore, then I will. But please take care of yourself more, Chanyeol. Just...Just promise me to look over yourself." He spoke a little hesitant but he knew he's doing this for the couples and he also knew that Chanyeol will be happy with Jieun.-more than him- or so what he thought.
"You're going to stay away from me for the sake of our relationship? You can do that? How about my feelings? Did you consider what am I going to feel?" Chanyeol started with a disbelieving expression and annoyance was churning in his stomach because of Baek's stupid thoughts.
"Considering what you feel, aren't you supposed to be happier with her? I won't risk our friendship getting damaged for being the reason why you and girlfriend would quarrel from continuous misunderstandings because of me," Baekhyun fully considered what Chanyeol feels. Almost all consideration was in Chanyeol's favor because Baekhyun is being the one who's lowering his pride. As always.
"How do you know that I'm happier with her? Why are you getting hard for me to sort these things out?" Chanyeol grumbled irritatedly while rubbing his temple. He admits, Baekhyun was right. Staying away from him is a good option not only so that Jieun and he would not quarrel with each other, but also because he wanted the scary feeling that was growing in his heart for Baekhyun to stop. But at the end of the day, he would yearn for Baekhyun's bright smiles, undying care, and love that pass through lines that were supposedly just supposed to be a best friend's caring instinct only, that made that feeling keeps growing.
"I- I'm not-but if it is...then I'm sorry. Isn't why you chose her because you're happy with her?" He said apologetically, lowering his head.
Chanyeol opened his mouth to respond to the question but opted not to as he gazed at Baekhyun.
"You're not going anywhere. That's final. And no one would make you stay away from me because I need you in my life. So don't you dare think about staying away. You are mine. Now, eat." He said before stuffing the latter's mouth with the pancake to end the topic.
You are mine.
Baekhyun frowned in disagreement yet he grumpily chewed the pancake chunk with strawberry syrup but nonetheless grabbed sushi with his tiny hands and slammed it on Chanyeol's mouth as a way of revenge.
Baekhyun couldn't stop his heart from beating so fast and the blush creeping from his pinkish cheeks when Chanyeol hugged him and did not let him go for about 15 minutes after they were already done eating breakfast. Just standing there, while long brawny arms locked him in between and his head resting on top of his.
Is this still best friend doings?
"You are mine, Baekhyun." He muttered as he nuzzled his face on the crook of Baek's neck.
Chanyeol was sure isn't a fan of sweets. But why does he cling to Baekhyun a little too much?
"I can't lose you."
