Chapter 6



Baekhyun has gotten so comfortable around Chanyeol that he often finds himself sitting arm to arm with the taller male. Chanyeol says nothing in disagreement with his sudden step out of his comfort zone.

It’s Friday evening and Baekhyun waits for Chanyeol to come back from his work. They plan another dinner date for today and Baekhyun can’t wait any longer.

As soon as he hears the tell tale sound of car, he skips towards the front door and waits giddily for the man to enter. When finally Chanyeol’s face comes to his sight, Baekhyun smiles and fidgets on his heels.

“Welcome home, Chanyeol.”

The said male smiles back and walks closer to him while getting out of his shoes.

“You look excited.” He comments as Baekhyun looks up at him like an overexcited puppy. He could see his imaginary tail wagging around.

Baekhyun grins and runs to him, tackling him into a sudden hug. He blinks as the shorter male snuggles into his chest without saying anything else.

“What’s gotten into you, love?” He questions in between his chuckles, a hand patting Baekhyun’s head.

Baekhyun sighs in delight and shakes his head, “...nothing. Just miss you though.”

Chanyeol’s heart swells at the words. Baekhyun has been more open about his feelings nowadays and he can’t be happier to know the fact. Baekhyun doesn’t seem to mind when he initiates innocent skin ship and they hold hand a lot now.

“I miss you, too.” Chanyeol mutters against his hair, feeling the loosening grip around him.

Baekhyun steps back, still having that adorable eye smile.

“Let me get ready for a moment.” Chanyeol tells him, poking the other’s nose with his knuckles.

The shorter male pouts and nods.

He watches Chanyeol goes upstairs while he walks around the living room to calm his nerves. He is too excited and it’s kind of hard to calm himself down.

Baekhyun doesn’t really count how long now that he stands in the middle of living room to try to calm his nerves down, but when a pair of arms wrap around his belly and familiar lips kiss his cheek, he squeaks loudly.

“You are spacing out.” Chanyeol comments while nuzzling into his shoulder.

Baekhyun huffs and turns around, even though he wants to stay in that position so badly, but they have a dinner date waiting for them.

With excited smile, he grabs Chanyeol by the arm and drags him towards the door, much to the taller male’s amusement. Chanyeol follows him obediently as they slip into their shoes and get out of the house.

“So where are we going?” Baekhyun questions while lightly jumping up and down.

His act makes Chanyeol laughs and he wraps an arm around the other’s shoulder to make him walk. They have agreed to walk by legs and not to take the car as to lengthen their time together.

“We are having dinner at that restaurant you like the most.”

Baekhyun slips both of his arms to wrap Chanyeol’s waist tight while looking up to him excitedly, “That one that has the rib steak?”

“Yes.” Chanyeol laughs.

Droopy eyes staring straight at him in excitement.

“Can we get cheesechiffon cake when we get back?”

“Yes. Anything for you, love.” Chanyeol answers while kissing his temple.



The dinner is way too cheerful because Baekhyun is too excited to even calm down.

Chanyeol sighs in content. He loves Baekhyun in every second but he loves him more when Baekhyun could express himself open and not being so doubtful or insecure about everything.

Baekhyun’s hesitant whispers and stutters have decreased very much as he has started to trust him. Chanyeol makes sure to tell and show him that he is very much in love with him in anything he does. The shy smile he gets from Baekhyun everytime he tells him that he loves him is enough to make his day perfect.

They share the dessert before walking out of the restaurant with fingers locked tight together. The visit to the bakery is also nice because Chanyeol doesn’t really get too many experiences in buying breads and cookies. The happy glint shining in Baekhyun’s eyes as they glance around the warm and colorful bakery is enough to make Chanyeol feels that same flutter in his chest.

With a paper bag in his hand, Chanyeol lets Baekhyun drags him towards the park wherein the breeze blows just right and perfect. They take a walk around the park for a moment before deciding to get back home once a yawn leaves Baekhyun’s mouth.

It’s really nice to laugh and chat with someone so dearly while entering the house, flicking the light on himself as the maids have already retreated back to their own respective room.

Baekhyun’s bubbly laughter echoes softly against the walls as they climb up the stairs. Chanyeol gives him a tight hug before they separate ways and enter their own room.

Sigh. It’s so silent again. Chanyeol glances around his dark room before shrugging the feeling away and heading towards the bathroom to take a quick bath before he would sleep.

Baekhyun fills the empty spaces in his life and now that Baekhyun is so close yet so far and he still couldn’t call him as officially his, Chanyeol feels depressed. He wants Baekhyun so much, damn it.

The light from the bathroom is off as he steps out and only clad in a thin t-shirt and pajama pants. He slips under the covers and tries to find sleep coming to him but fails miserably.

All he could think of is Baekhyun only. He wants to embrace him and hug him tight, he wants to kiss him on his lips and whisper how much he loves him, he wants to mold himself with Baekhyun and show him that he would never let him go no matter what would happen.

Drowning in his thought, he misses the soft padding just outside of his bedroom and when the door creaks softly, Chanyeol jolts in surprise.

“...chanyeol?”

“Baekhyun? What’s wrong?” He sits up and watches Baekhyun’s figure pads across the room in the darkness. His lithe body moves closer to his bed and before he knows it, a squishy puppy is climbing into his bed.

“I can’t sleep.” Baekhyun mutters while cuddling deeper into his covers.

Chanyeol feels his heart soars into the sky because Baekhyun comes to find him when he can’t sleep.

Carefully, he scoots to the middle of the bed to pull the smaller male closer. Baekhyun stills for a second before relaxing again and lets himself being pulled to the warm chest.

“Why can’t you sleep?” Chanyeol asks, his chest vibrates from his voice. Baekhyun smiles against it.

“It’s so silent there. Can I sleep here with you?” He asks quietly, noticing the sharp intake of breathe coming from the taller male.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.” Baekhyun nods his head.

Chanyeol closes his eyes as he relishes in having Baekhyun in his arms as they sleep. He has dreamed this moment to come for like years. He sometimes still can’t believe that Baekhyun is here with him, spending life with him and making memories with him.

“Chanyeol?”

His thought halts as he hears the call of his name. Looking down at the figure curled up against him, he finds Baekhyun staring at him in the darkness.

“Yes, love?”

“I...” Baekhyun starts, fists gripping onto his t-shirt, “Thank you for the dinner. I... really love it.”

The whisper comes entering Chanyeol’s ears and the voice is so soft.

“I’m really glad you can enjoy yourself, Baekhyun.”

The puppy sniffs his frozen nose before burying his face further into his chest.

“I really like you, Chanyeol.”

The confession freezes Chanyeol as his brain tries to translate what the meaning of those words.

“Like, really like you...”

The time has come. Chanyeol gasps as he leans back to hold onto Baekhyun’s shoulder, shaking it lightly.

“Baekhyun,”

“I really like it when you care for me and when you are really patient to me. You make it that I seem to be worth something and it seriously makes me think so.”

“You are worth it. Don’t ever doubt yourself.” Chanyeol whispers while cupping onto his cheeks.

Baekhyun smiles up at him, eyes crinkled at the corner.

“Chanyeol, I... I’m ready.”

Ready? Does that mean he—

“Can I be yours?” He whispers again, causing Chanyeol to completely freeze.

Baekhyun likes him. Baekhyun wants to be his.

“Are you... sure?” Chanyeol mutters, voice no louder than a whisper.

At the firm nod from Baekhyun, Chanyeol grabs him close to hug him tightly.

“Oh gosh. Finally. Finally!” He says excitedly, pressing Baekhyun tight to curl against him.

The sound of soft giggles coming from Baekhyun tells him that this is real and that the other really wants this.

“Does this mean you are my boyfriend now?” Chanyeol asks furiously, holding onto both sides of Baekhyun’s face.

“Yes,” he nods, “your boyfriend, your lover, everything you want to call me with.”

“Is this real? Or am I dreaming?” Chanyeol mutters while running his hands all over Baekhyun’s face, making the other smiles.

“Yes, this is real, boyfriend.”Baekhyun whispers shyly before planting a kiss on his cheek.

Chanyeol lets out a loud happy groan in the middleof the night, erupting shy giggles from Baekhyun before the sounds turn into puppy yelps when he is tackled into rounds of cuddling and tickling.

Let’s just say that night gives them the best sleep ever.
