{Summary: Your best friend Baekhyun has been away on tour with his group mates EXO. You havenât seen him in over 5 months. No calls, text messages, nothing. Busy with his touring schedule you thought you would never see your best friend for another couple months. Youâd stay up late at night hoping heâd call to talk to you about his day, but he never did. You began to think he had forgotten about you, until one night you decide to give him a call unexpectedly he picks up and, the next thing you know Baekhyun shows up at y/n door surprising her.}
âWow, y/n is that really your best friendâ your roommate askâs while you both were watching videos of him and his group mates EXO performing. âYes, that is him alright. Byun Baekhyunâ. You and your roommate havenât known each other for too long. Since starting college last semester, you guys have grown surprisingly close. âYou never told me your best friend was hotâ she gawks towards her screen, practically drooling. âand that he could also sing like that.â She looked at the screen excitedly watching Baekhyun. You guys were watching their EXOâs 2018 Music Bank performance of âTempo.â Tuning your roommates voice out you start to think about Baekhyun and how you havenât heard from or seen Baekhyun in over 5 months. It was sad. You thought heâd make an effort to at least call you at the end of the night to tell you about how heâs doing, and how the tour is going, but you got nothing. You hunch over a little bit on the couch resting your hand on your chin and you let out a sigh. Your roommate notices your change of mood from just a few moments ago. Pausing the video, she turns over to face you. Her eyes looking at you with concern. âWhatâs wrong?â she asks. âYou seem down? Everything okay?â Sighing you look at her with sad eyes. âYeah, Iâm fine. Itâs just I miss him. I havenât seen him since 5 months ago before he left for tour.â You answer truthfully. She gives you a soft smile, patting your shoulder lightly comforting you. âIt must be hardâ she says. âBeing friends with an Idol and not being able to see them every day huh?â You nod. âYeah. I guess it isâ you chuckle. Youâd never tell anyone this, but ever since 5 months ago you had begun to develop somewhat of a crush on your best friend. You donât know how it happened, but it just happened. Baekhyun was always there for you whenever you needed him for whatever it was Baekhyun was always there, and so you started to slowly depend on his comforting words and hugs. Youâd never confess that to him or anyone for that matter afraid of ruining your long-time friendship. âDo you want to watch something else? Get your mind off him?â Your roommate asked. Rubbing your back for comfort. âNo, itâs fine we can still watchâ you smiled at her. âBesides.. you havenât seen half of these performances yet.â
The rest of the night you and your roommate continued to watch videos of EXO. Finally entering your room, you plop down on your bed letting out a long sigh. Laying on your back, your folded hands laying flat on your stomach staring up the ceiling you start to think about what Baekhyun must be up to right now. You thought if you should give him a call. Rolling over to the side of your bed where your nightstand was you grab your phone turning it on. The phone light blinding you from the over sensitivity from being in the dark for a few minutes. You check your Instagram to see if he has posted anything new. Finding nothing you put your phone face down on your stomach. âIâm going to just give him a quick callâ you thought to yourself. âNot like heâll pick up anyways.â Picking your phone up you started dialing his number
** RINGING **
You felt like you were waiting an eternity. Your heart beating fast against your chest you thought it was about to explode. Why were you so nervous to talk to him? You never felt nervous to talk to your best friend before. Sighing about to hang up the phone the line goes silent. You heard mumbling in the background, like he mustâve been talking to someone. Thinking he mustâve answered without realizing you were about to hang up until you heard his deep raspy voice on the other line âHello y/nâ you could feel the smile on his lips through the phone as he spoke. âH-Hi Baekâ you say shocked that he actually picked up after all this time. âWhatâs wrong? Why are you calling this late?â He asks concern laced in his voice. He obviously thought you called him because something had happened and not because you missed hearing his soothing voice. âNothingâ you answer. âJust calling to say hello. I havenât heard from you in a while thatâs all. He chuckles. God I missed that laugh, you thought to yourself. âIâm good y/n. Iâve been so busy ever since tour started.â He started. âI apologize for not calling often. Did you miss me?â He asks. You didnât even need to see Baekhyun to know that he had a smug smirk on his face stupidly handsome face. Rolling your eyes, you mumble a âveryâ hoping he didnât hear. âWell, I missed you too y/nâ Your eyes going wide. He heard you. The line fell to an awkward silence for a couple seconds. Breaking the awkward silence, you tell him that itâs getting late and that you needed to get to bed, because you had an early class in the morning. âWell, listen I got to go now. I have an early class tomorrow morning.â You chuckle waiting for his response. âOkay y/n, have a good night. It was nice hearing your voice.â He says, making you blush. âGoodnight Baekhyun.â After the phone call with Baekhyun you drifted off to sleep with a huge grin on your face.
The next morning you woke up with the sound of your alarm going off. Groaning you roll over on your bed eyes still shut and turn your alarm off. Slowly opening your eyes, you squint due to the sunlight coming from your window hitting your face. Rolling back onto your stomach you remember the conversation with Baekhyun from last night. His voice, his laugh. You missed hearing his voice so much. You couldnât even contain the smile on your face. If anyone were to walk in right now they would think you looked like a madwoman smiling up at your ceiling. Realizing that you have to get up and get on with your life you make your way to the edge of your bed. You had 30 minutes to get ready for your 8 am class. Walking to your closet you pick out your outfit for the day. Setting on a pair of black skinny jeans and your favorite Metallica t-shirt and converse you walk towards the bathroom fixing your hair and brushing your teeth.
Once you step foot outside your room your roommate was already at the kitchen.She was sitting at the kitchen table and eating a bowl of fruit loops. She looks over at me with her faced stuffed with fruit loops waving you a good morning. Swallowing her food, she speaks. âHow did you sleep?â she asks. âGood!â you answer rather excitedly. Picking up on your happy mood she smiles. âSoo, I heard you on the phone with someone last nightâ quirking an eyebrow at you. âWho were you talking to?â she askâs clearly curious on who you were talking to that so happened to leave you in such a good mood this morning. âOh, just Baekhyunâ you answer her. She raises her eyebrows at you a smirk plastered on her face. âInteresting.â She says. Confused on why sheâs acting so peculiar you ask her. âWhatâs that look for?â you ask her, crossing your arms. âOh nothing, just youâre so giddy this morning.â Rolling your eyes, you grab your bag heading towards the door. âYouâre not going to eat breakfast?â she asks. âIâm just going to grab something quick at school. See you later.â You give her a smile waving her goodbye. As soon as you step outside your apartment your roommate speaks. âWhippedâ she chuckles shaking her head and resumes to eat her cereal.

Later that evening were walking home with your friend Hyunjin from your last class of the day. âDamn, that class was whack today.â Hyunjin says, taking a sip from his iced americano. âIt wasnât that badâ you reply. âTrue, at least we werenât assigned some crazy project to do over the weekendâ Hyunjin says. Rolling your eyes, you shake your head at him. âYouâre so lazy Hyunjinâ Shoving you gently Hyunjin whines. âSo, what are your plans for the rest of the day?â Hyunjin askâs as you both walk towards your apartment. âProbably just hang out with my roommate and binge watch Karamaâs togetherâ you reply. âSounds funâ he says sarcastically. Suddenly scratching his head, you notice his nervous state giving him a concerning look. âYou okay Hyunjin?â you ask. âYeah! Totally. I was just wondering if you wanted to grab dinner?â He asks. Both of you entering inside your apartment building, Hyunjin holding the door for you to enter before him. Smiling at him and thanking him heading inside towards your apartment complex you both trade glance at each other. He was blushing you could tell. You knew Hyunjin had somewhat of a crush on you and you thought it was so cute how flustered he would get around you. You were about to answer his question until you saw someone standing at your door. You paused. Hyunjin looked at you with confusion. ây/n are you okay? Whatâs wrong?â Hyunjin asks. âHey, Hyunjin Iâll talk to you later. We can do dinner another time.â You tell him quickly walking towards your door not moving your eyes on the person leaning against your door. You couldnât believe he was here in front of your door after all this time. He was here. BaekhyunâŚ
You made your way towards your door. You were now in front of him âBaekhyun?â you ask rather surprised, with a smile on his face he moves from against your door walking towards you. Now standing in front of you, his hands in his pockets. He speaks âLong time no see y/nâ

i originally planned to have this story be 20k max, but i may have accidentally churned out 30k words of it instead.. haha. iâve been working on this for over a month, with the intention of posting it as a oneshot, but it would be too long for the app to process, so iâm going to separate it into two posts instead! the second half of the story will be uploaded sometime this week, after i finish editing. it may seem slow or draggy in the beginning, but i hope you will stay forth till the end. thank you!
