It is said that important people are still important people no matter how long they pass.

And for that reason, for those who still feel it, it is difficult to forget.

I just "love you" : Byun Baekhyun

[OS] 내 사랑 (MY LOVE)

Couple : Jongin x Baekhyun

As the sun rises above the horizon, it marks the start of a new day. The faint rays of the morning sun shone on the cream-colored curtains until the fabric was translucent.

The small figure who was the owner of the room shifted slightly. His wood-colored eyelids slowly opened and he blinked quickly to adjust his vision. His small hand helped himself to sit up on the bed in no hurry. Eyes decorated with long lashes and a single eyelid turned to look at the clock that struck seven in the morning on the nightstand. Thin lips lifted up into a cute smile before the little person's entire body disappeared into the bathroom to do his business.

Waking up early on holidays is probably the last option for many people. The reason why it is like that and I can't seem to find another reason that makes more sense is probably because it's a holiday. We humans will stop doing everything we do on weekdays to make up for it with time to relax on holidays instead. But those human reasons sometimes do not apply to all humans.

A small figure was busy in the kitchen on a Sunday morning. Known as a weekend, no one wouldn't want to relax comfortably in their own home. Those words seemed to contradict the owner of the slender hands who were expertly handling each ingredient right now.

It wasn't that he didn't have a need for rest. It's just that the rest day happened to fall on an important day.

“Yah, Mongryong, I'm not free right now. Wait for me to finish making cookies before I go play with you, okay?”

Small and short-legged creatures are forbidden from wrapping their legs around their owners. A corgi breed dog that some people keep as a companion is now being mischievous. It wouldn't be unusual for this four-legged animal to run in and play with him every time he opened the door to meet him.

But at this time, he still couldn't play with his dog. So I just told him and let him go play somewhere else first. Because the important thing in front of him is really important according to its definition and he intends to do it in the best possible way.

“Will Jongin like it? I've never made anything like this before.” A slender, beautiful finger touched his own lips in thought.

An important day that brings important people of little people together for another year. After counting, this year is the second year that someone else has risen to the top of my heart, overtaking everyone else and being labeled as a very special person to them.

Two year anniversary of Byun's relationship. Baekhyun and Kim Jongin

“Yah! You can do it, you can do it, that's it.” Her naturally thin, pink lips said to encourage herself.

A new flavor of cookies that had never been made before was chosen as an anniversary gift this year. Baekhyun didn't think it would be the most delicious cookie. Just giving the flavor that Baekhyun put into it and hoping Jongin would like it was enough.

Nearly three hours had passed. The cookies made by Baekhyun were finished. The aroma of milk and almonds, the main ingredients of the cookies, spread through the air as soon as Baekhyun turned on the oven. Slender hands clad in heat-resistant gloves carried out a tray of cookies and placed them on the dining table.

“That's right, too.” Baekhyun stood proudly looking at the cookies lined up on the tray.

Some of them moved themselves to sit at the table to begin packing the gifts they had made into pastel-colored candy wrappers that contrasted with the cute designs on the wrappings. But because he was unsure of his skills, his nervous system ordered him to reach out and pick up the cookies he had made to taste.

“Delicious!” As soon as the taste of the cookies spreads in your mouth, your taste buds will work. That made Baekhyun exclaim loudly.

Luckily, Baekhyun was alone. If someone were there, they would definitely get annoyed if they ate cookies that they made and loudly said they were delicious. Definitely would not be free from the charge of self-aggrandizement that seemed excessive and unreasonable.

“Mongryong, I want to eat.

TT”

Baekhyun turned to speak to the pet that ran up to him and kissed it into a ball because of the smell of cookies, tilting his head like a child asking for a snack from an adult. But a few seconds later, the cute face from just a moment ago changed into a frown. His thin lips turned up slightly like a child's pout when he thought of the sentence his girlfriend Jongin had said.

'Baekhyun, you've eaten too much. You'll be fat now'

"Shit, that's so rude. Who's fat? Come show off your six packs and compete!?" The answer to the question asked, Baekhyun already knew who would win.

The corners of Baekhyun's mouth lifted into a cute smile once again. There was never a time when he thought of his boyfriend that he didn't smile. Both the feelings of love, warmth, and concern for each other are always transmitted to Baekhyun.

“Done, now there are only cards left. How should I write it? Mongryong, please help me think.”

“..." Mongryong, who was sitting next to him, tilted his head and looked at Baehyun suspiciously.

The finished cookies were then placed in a layer of gift boxes. Baekhyun took out a blue ballpoint pen with a Totoro doll on the tip that Jongin had bought him and prepared to write a card. Some of them turned to their pets and asked again, unable to figure out how to write them.

It didn't take long to think. His slender hand forced the tip of the pen to draw lines and write what he thought of on the card before sticking it on the gift box. All that was left was to take this gift box and give it to its owner, as Baekhyun had intended.

“I hope you like it, Jongin.”

J

Baekhyun lifted the gift box and looked at it with a smile again. Every effort and care that can be seen from the beginning of making the cookies to the wrapping of the gift box has been put into this box by me. A smooth, beautiful gift box without any blemishes or tears. And Baekhyun himself hopes that Jongin can feel those feelings through this box.

After everything is finished Baekhyun just sat and waited for the time to take the gift box to Jongin. Somebody wanted to give it to him at the same time Jongin asked him out two years ago.

Crack~ Crack~

Baekhyun's sweet face left the gift box and looked at his own smartphone that was sitting next to him. Vibrations from the vibrate setting are indicating someone's incoming call. Some of them smiled widely when they thought that Jongin must have called. But when the name that appears on the screen is the name of a close friend

The wide smile that was so happy a moment ago almost instantly faded. A slender hand picked it up before pressing the slide answer button.

Chanyeol incoming call

“Hello~” the little man said into the other end of the line as soon as he lifted the phone to his ear.

(What is this? Baekhyun's voice sounds so disappointed. Haha) The person on the other end of the line is Park. Chanyeol burst out laughing.

“Of course!” -^- Baekhyun answered honestly. His mouth turned upside down again.

(You're being too mean to your best friend, Baekhyun. Dear people, I really miss you - -)

“Hahaha, I'm just kidding. And what do you have, Chanyeol?”

Some people asked curiously. Because most of the time both he and Chanyeol talk via Line rather than calling like this. Because they study in different places and their study schedules or free time don't quite match up. The best option for keeping in touch with each other so as not to disturb your studying or resting time is probably green applications.

(I'd like to call and ask about his welfare. in case it sank in a pile of books and died Hey, I just finished taking two final exams. A lot of content I want to go crazy.)

“I won't die drowning in a pile of books. And most importantly, I have finished my final exam.” ><

Baekhyun chuckled as the other end of the line let out a long complaint before changing his tone to mocking his close friend who had already made it through such a huge storm. As a result, the word "jealousy" hit the other end of the line directly in the face.

(Hey, what?! You finished the exam first again. That's not fair. Shit! And how are you?) Chanyeol's mouth widened in displeasure. But he didn't bother to ask about his friend's well-being.

“It's fine. I'm with Mongryong. This guy has gotten a lot fatter. I'll take a photo and send it to you on Line.” The figure laughed a little and moved himself from the table to sit with his pet.

(Huh? Just like you, hahaha)

“Yah! Who do you think is fat? Park Chanyeol wants to die, right!?” -^-

(Ooh, I'm scared now. Haha. Hearing Mr. Wad like this makes me less worried.)

“Of course, I am very well and I am wanting to kill people. If it weren't for the fact that I had to bring a gift to Jongin. I'll go straight to the university and strangle you, so just wait and see.” The little man spoke out with gritted teeth, but Chanyeol laughed a little instead.

(Baekhyun... are you okay?) Chanyeol took some space from calling the little man's name before asking with concern again.

“Okay! Who is this? This is Byun Baekhyun... Oh! It's time now, that's all for now, Chanyeol. I brought a gift to Jongin first. If anything, I'll contact you via Line again." Baekhyun, who turned to look at the clock that struck 4:00 p.m., quickly got up and prepared to take the gift to Jongin immediately.

(Hoy! Baekhyun Baek...)

Cabinet

Before Chanyeol could finish his sentence, Baekhyun had already cut off the call. The little guy looked in a hurry and was excited to get a special gift for his special someone. Baekhyun ran into the room to make himself presentable before coming out and gingerly grabbing the gift box. The owner of the room was confused by the sight of his little pet. Mongryong saw Baekhyun rushing towards the door and thought of taking him out to play like usual, so he ran towards Baekhyun before he was stopped.

“Can't leave, Mongryong. I have to go outside. Stay and watch over the room for me. I'll be back in a moment."

Baekhyun pets the irritating puppy's head for a moment before leaving the room. He only had an hour to get to Jongin's condo. Some of them chose a taxi instead of a bus to buy time to get to Jongin's condo as quickly as possible.

It took less than forty-five minutes for Baekhyun to arrive at Jongin's condo. Thanks to the lack of traffic today, he arrived earlier than scheduled. There were only twenty minutes left until Baekhyun had to take the gift to Jongin. Slender legs hurriedly walked towards the elevator and hurriedly pressed the floor he wanted to go to.

The time was getting closer and closer, making Baekhyun's heart race until he couldn't keep track of the rhythm. As the elevator opened, Baekhyun hurriedly headed down the path. His eyes looked at the room number that Jongin was in. The closer we got to Jongin's room, the more his heart rate and foot speed went in opposite directions.

Baekhyun walked slowly and stopped in front of a room with the door still closed. But the cool air from the air conditioner that came through the small gap under this door made Baekhyun feel like there was someone in the room. Baekhyun pursed his lips in uncertainty. The hand holding the gift box trembled slightly.

There were two minutes left for this gift to be handed over to the room owner in front of him. Two minutes that Baekhyun had been meaning to wait for all along.

5:00 PM

Room 880

Knock~ Knock~ Knock~

There was a knock at the door. The owner of the room, the light-skinned young man, immediately went to open the door to see the guests behind it. But what he found was not a person. But it was an item placed in front of his room.

Jongin looked for the owner of this cute gift box for a moment. Yet even after turning left and right to the end of the corridor, there was no sign of anyone. A thick hand bent down and picked up the gift box and looked at it suspiciously. It was the most neatly wrapped gift box that Jongin had ever seen.

Why is it wrapped like this? Whose work is this?

Baekhyun, who was secretly looking at Jongin on the fire escape, smiled slightly when he saw someone else's puzzled face. A questioning face that Baekhyun likes to compare to being like a dizzy bear all the time. But no matter what, Baekhyun still likes that face. A face where every proportion fits together perfectly, from the dark eyebrows that hang over the fierce hawk-like eyes.

The bridge of the nose is high, matched with thick lips that emit a low but warm voice. And the proportions of the facial structure, such as the clearly prominent jawline, help clearly indicate masculinity.

Jongin, who didn't know he was being watched, continued to hold the gift box while examining the details with interest. If I had him wrap it, it wouldn't be as smooth and beautiful as this. In my mind I was still wondering who exactly was the owner of this box. But that thought had to be put away when his eyes fell on a small card.

Jongin took the opportunity to open it and read it carefully. As soon as he finished reading, he immediately knew who this box belonged to.

Jongin looked up from the small card in front of him and clenched his hands tightly in emotion. Those sharp eyes radiated pain for only a moment before they disappeared into eyes that were nothing but emptiness. No one could tell what this person was thinking.

“Jongin, who's coming? Why did you come out for so long?” Someone else's voice sounded from the room before a small figure appeared beside him.

“Oh... a friend, but he's gone,” Jongin replied with a smile.

“Huh? Did he bring that box?” Do Kyungsoo, Kim Jongin's little boyfriend, asked curiously. His big eyes looked at the tall figure in front of him, blinking his eyes so cutely that Jongin had to reach out and rub his head gently with affection.

“Um, but it's not my friend's. It's something I gave to you.” Jongin bent over and whispered, teasing Kyungsoo to make him jealous before being hit hard on the arm by the little guy. No matter how strong it was, it didn't hurt much for Jongin. Moreover, it made the little person in front of him look even cuter.

“Here you are! You really want to die, right!?” Hearing this, Kyungsoo immediately became annoyed.

“Hahaha, I'm just kidding, I don't have a girlfriend.” Jongin smiles in amusement that makes his little fan jealous before kissing both of Kyungsoo's soft cheeks appeasingly.

Every action of Baekhyun's former lover was reflected in those beautiful eyes that were filled with clear water. A slender hand rose to cover his mouth, preventing his voice from escaping as the dam of tears that had been holding him back was completely broken. Baekhyun watched Jongin and his new lover until the final moment when Jongin closed the door and went back in.

Even if you look far away and there are obstructions in your vision until the picture is completely blurred. Baekhyun still wants to see I want to see the person I love with all my heart, even though we're not together, just seeing them happy is enough.

Baekhyun forced himself to run down the fire escape stairs of the condo and down to the ground floor. Even after running down eight floors, Baekhyun didn't even feel tired at all. Some people continued to run aimlessly before stopping at the side of a river. The river where he and Jongin had often hung out during their one year relationship.

Some people stepped closer to the same bench that they used to sit on regularly. Before that, the little person's entire body collapsed, exhausted.

At dusk beside the river, when there aren't people like this, it wouldn't be much of a problem for using sound. The sounds of running water or insects clinging to trees screaming naturally were completely drowned out by Baekhyun's voice. A sound that didn't come from joy. But it was the sound of sorrow that could not be forgotten even after all these years had passed.

Baekhyun, who suddenly collapsed in his seat, cried so hard that he threw up. The feelings that had been kept in my heart for a year were all released through tears, making me look pitiful. Some bodies still cried loudly without stopping. Saying it's like a child wouldn't be much different. He just wanted to release what he had been repressing all along. His slender hand lifted up and held onto his own heart uncomfortably, as if he was suffocating before crying over the same feeling again and again. The feeling that I love Kim Jongin with all my heart.

“Huh.. I love you.. Huh... I love.. Huh, I love you! I love you!! I love you, did you hear that I love you Jongin!!! Huh...huh. Did you hear what I said? Huh..."

Immediately, a slender, beautiful face filled with tear stains raised her head to look at the water in front of her. His thin lips shouted out the feelings in his heart loudly, not embarrassed if anyone nearby heard him. But if that person was the owner of the name Baekhyun called him, it would be great.

It's just impossible. And it was true that Baekhyun had to accept that he could never return to the loss of his lover. Only the gentle breeze is my friend at this time.

A gift box that was intended for Jongin even though it wouldn't have much value to his former lover. But for Baekhyun, it was everything he wanted to deliver. All the longing, concern, and love that has never changed were gathered together in that box. Just Jongin taking it instead of throwing it away would have been great for Byun Baekhyun.

If that little card hasn't disappeared yet It would be a reminder that Baekhyun should accept the fact that the man named Kim Jongin no longer loves him. And that man already has someone beside him who loves him the most.

Message from a small card

Be very happy, Jongin^^

May we love each other for a long time.

THE END

TALK:

Hello, all readers.

OS

This is a bit delayed. Actually, it was decorated a long time ago.

And I've already gone in once and then deleted it, haha.

At first, I didn't think about posting again, but then I changed my mind and decided to post.

For what reason, I don't know.

I hope you like it.

Jub jub:)
