Baeksoo au

They said some people fall in love at a wrong timing. Their hearts are longing for each other but it never quite reaching....but...when is the right timing ?

Kyungsoo hurries his step as he enters the door, loud music greets him as usual. There are so many people inside the bar that he has to squeeze himself through them, but he still manages to find Baekhyun sitting at one table in the corner. Maybe because they frequented the bar a

lot and they mostly sit at the same area, or maybe its just that Baekhyun's presence in Kyungsoo's life is so significant that wherever they are, his eyes will always find Baekhyun.

Kyungsoo breathes a sigh, knowing exactly why Baekhyun is slumping on his seat, staring into

nothing as he remains unbothered, not even realizing how Kyungsoo has sat down right in front of him.

Kyungsoo looks at Baekhyun, his heart starts prickling with pain. It's been two months since he last saw Baekhyun, since he started refusing to meet him, ignoring his calls and

his text messages....since he....broke things up with him.

"Jongdae told me you're here" Kyungsoo speaks after God knows how long, he clears his throat as his breath came out too shaky for his liking.

There's no surprise in Baekhyun's expression, maybe he is, by the

way he clenches his fist but his face shows zero indication of emotions. The moment their eyes meet, Baekhyun's eyes are dead. Kyungsoo's breath hitches with guilt.

"why are you here" Baekhyun finally speaks, voice hoarse and weak

Kyungsoo feels like his stomach churns

in unfunny way, noticing how miserable Baekhyun's look is with those eye bags and messy hair.

"Baekhyun"

"stop...if you want to leave then just leave...why are you here, just let me be....isn't that what you want" Baekhyun's speaking voice is calm yet so sharp, slicing

Kyungsoo's heart open.

Kyungsoo lets out a shaky breath, swallowing the lump in his throat "Jongdae said you've been miserable"

Baekhyun scoffs "why would you care, we're over for good aren't we ? No..you're over me for good...ha..ha"

Kyungsoo struggles to contain his tears.

Kyungsoo clears his throat, choosing to change the topic instead "how's it going at home ? h-how's your parents ?"

"They are happy...of course they are, their wish to marry his son to someone they chose will soon come true...thanks to you by the way" Baekhyun exclaims

sarcastically

Kyungsoo knows about it of course. He was the one deciding to end their relationship for that particular reason, but its still hurt anyways. He looks down, containing all his emotions in control.

Silence follows, despite the loud music around them, its suffocating

he has to hold on the hem of his shirt tightly to keep the grip of himself.

"I missed you" Baekhyun suddenly mutters

Kyungsoo bites his lips, he is just human after all, his tears escape his eyes no matter how hard he tries to hold it back. He keeps his head down.

"why is it so easy for you...why can't you tell me, that you love me too, that you want to be with me too" Baekhyun mutters weakly

Kyungsoo sniffles quietly, wiping his tears off as he keeps his head down.

"I thought...what we had was real" Baekhyun adds

"it is ! It is real,

I promise you...it is real" Kyungsoo can't help but retaliates, his eyes are still pooling with tears

Kyungsoo timidly looks up until their eyes meet again, their pupils are both wavering

"its h-hard for me too...its suffocating me, its hurt here...its.." Kyungsoo sighs shakily

"let's runaway...with me...lets run together" Baekhyun says

Kyungsoo widens his eyes, speechless for a second as he holds his breath. He frowns as he looks at Baekhyun's serious expression.

"its not that easy Baekhyun" Kyungsoo mutters

"what is not easy ? You have

your visa with you, go pack up your things and meet me at the airport tomorrow night" Baekhyun says, rising his voice a little like he's in a rush

Kyungsoo shakes his his head "no Baekhyun, we shouldn't do this...this is not right"

Baekhyun groans in defeat

"we shouldn't run away from responsibility" Kyungsoo says, though his heart is aching

"bullshit..I'm never responsible to marry that person..I was forced in this...I only agreed to it because of you ! Because you told me too ! But it hurts Soo ! You're the one I love !"

Baekhyun starts to get frustrated

"your family is more important than me..you can't ruin your relationship with them just because of a silly love" Kyungsoo says, comforting himself as he does

"silly ? You think our love is silly ?"

"I'm saying that we can move on, maybe not

today but someday...you're the only child, your family loves you, they depend on you...they know what's best for you" Kyungsoo explains, gulping when he sees the tears escape Baekhyun's eyes, his eyes looks so hurt.

Kyungsoo takes a deep breath, he forces a smile "I've seen

a lot of movies and stories like this...when someone marries a person of their parents choice, even if they hate each other at first, eventually they will find a way to love each other...you will be able to forget me, you will love your partner more than me...you will be happy"

A pause before Baekhyun sighs, looking at Kyungsoo in the eyes "what about you...are you happy ?"

Kyungsoo smiles more, albeit his chest is in pain "only time will tell...this will over sooner or later...I will be happy...even though we broke up, I'll always cherish what we

had...those happy feelings of loving you, I'll keep it in my memory"

Baekhyun licks his lips "we can still be together...even if I marry that person, my feelings for you won't change...the marriage is just on paper, I can file a divorce after a year or two"

"Baekhyun"

"Soo..."

Kyungsoo takes a deep breath, wiping his tears off "let's just give up...there's no point justifying everything...at the end the day, someone will hurt...you think I'll be strong enough to see you with another person ? you think it wont hurt me, holding on to you while

you're holding to someone else ? What if you fall for that person eventually ? You think I can bear to witness all of that ? I don't think so...so let's stop it here...let's stop this before it hurts even more..lets just move on"

Kyungsoo sighs, slowly getting up from his seat.

"I've been thinking...but I'll be going abroad next week...its a way for fresh start...I'm sorry I couldn't attend the wedding...I don't I'm strong enough yet for that...anyways, its been lovely memories with you...goodbye Baekhyun" Kyungsoo says, ending his farewell with tears

falling from his eyes. His chest is tightening, its rebelling as he reluctantly turns away.

Suddenly Baekhyun grabs his wrist, Kyungsoo gasps as Baekhyun forcefully pulling him closer as he turns around, he frowns

"just one last night, stay with me" Baekhyun mutters

Kyungsoo wants to refuse, he wants to push Baekhyun away, he wants to yank his arm and leave...but he's weak under those hurt pleading eyes.

Kyungsoo is drunk, not from any alcohol but the from the scent of Baekhyun, his delicate but firm touch, his soft yet demanding kiss.

He wants to be selfish for one last time too, just this once. He lets Baekhyun takes him to wherever he wants, he calls Baekhyun's name at every touch, he kisses Baekhyun despite the tears in his eyes.

One last night, they touch each other like tomorrow doesn't exist.

3 years later

Kyungsoo quickly turns off the stove as he starts packing up the food when his phone rings loudly. He glances at the clock before picking up the call.

"hello mom, yeah I'll be there in two hours...I need to prepare them first...I'll finish meeting by 7pm I think, I'll let you

know...yeah okay, thank you for helping me...yeah I told the nanny not to come today since you want to take care of them...yeah okay love you mom" Kyungsoo ends the call with a sigh, he continues packing the food as usual

"papa, Haejin is not waking up !" comes the little girl

pouting as she hugs her plushie tightly

"Morning sweetheart, are you ready to go to grandma's house ?" Kyungsoo smiles, picking his daughter up and kisses her cheek

"I already awake ! But Haejin is still sleeping ! He is like a sleepy pig !" Haesoo pouts

"hey don't call

your brother like that, hmm let's go wake him up then" Kyungsoo giggles, carrying her to the twins' bedroom

"Haejin ! Papa is here wake uppppp !!" Haesoo yells cutely, balling her fist for emphasized

Kyungsoo laughs before sitting down on the bed, he caresses his son's hair.

"Haejin baby, wake up, we need to dress you up and go to grandma's house" Kyungsoo calls softly

As expected, the son whines, he's always the hardest to wake up when he's sleeping.

"Haejin ! Wakeyy !!" Haesoo yells

"no..don't want to go grandma..want...sleep dhsgfh" the kid

sleepily mutters

Kyungsoo chuckles, hugging hi s daughter instead "let's get Haesoo to bath first, let Haejin sleep first..he can bath later hmm ?"

"okay papa, but I want to wear black clothes today !" Haesoo says

"huh ? Why black ?"

"it's papa style !" the girl giggles

Kyungsoo laughs, can't help but smooches her with kisses, to which she laughs even louder "papa stoppp !!"

Suddenly they heard a whine, Haejin is frowning sleepily, hair all messy as he sits up.

Kyungsoo smiles "morning sleepyhead"

"I want kisses too" Haejin pouts

he wipes his swelled eyes, making a grabby hands toward his papa.

"no ! you stinky ! no kisses for you !" Haesoo protests, hugging his papa tightly

"I want papa kisses, not you ! You stinky too ! weekkk" Haejin sticks out his tongue

Kyungsoo snorts "come on let's get you

to bath first"

"no ! Kisses first !" Haejin pouts, his eyes are sparkling like a puppy.

Kyungsoo softens, he leans down to kiss his forehead and rubs his tummy "Haejin waits here first, papa bring your sister to bath first okay ?"

The boy sighs and muttering an okay.

Meet the twins, Doh Haejin & Doh Haesoo, 3 years old.

Kyungsoo rushes into the building after replying his boss's messages of asking where he is, he has to explain how he went to send his twins to his mom first and was caught in traffic jam on his way to work.

He glances at his watch, there's still 30 minutes before the supposed meeting. He sighs in relief as he walks into the elevator as the door opens.

"hold it please !" comes a rushed voice, Kyungsoo on reflex pressing the "open" button

The man then comes in, a smile on his face

"thank....."

the smile falters as their eyes meet, Kyungsoo slightly widens his eyes, his breath caught in his throat. It feels like the world stop, second guessing if he's dreaming, there's no way he is Baek----

Suddenly the door closes by itself, startling the man who

is standing in between them.

Kyungsoo clears his throat "aren't you gonna come in ?"

The man visibly gulps "y-yeah...uhm..t-thank you"

Awkward is when the door closed, only two of them inside the elevator, its not helping that they are going to the same floor, which is

at the 17th floor. Suddenly seconds feel like minutes, the air seems so suffocating.

Kyungsoo glances at the man, wanting to make sure that he is not imagining things, he gulps as nothing change on the latter's look. He tightens his grip on his bag.
