Are you real? (1/1)

The shoot completed on time. Baekhyun still had an hour before the meeting with Mr. Kim but the city's traffic at the time suggested they would have to leave right now to get to their destination on time. And that's why, he was in the car right now with his beloved manager Kyungsoo, looking out the window at the sea of cars outside, moving at a pace, slower than a snail."Why don't you take a nap, Baekhyun?" Kyungsoo suggested."And look like a sleepy head in the meeting? No thanks. I'll sleep when I get home." he sighed. " I just want to get this over with. Today was tiring. Seriously, how much more sass did the photographer need? I was already sassy af in my looks. I think he is into some weird kinks. Don't you think? It was strange how he demanded the looks from me." And then went on ranting some more about how the rest of the photoshoot went.Kyungsoo, knowing that Baekhyun already had enough for his day and his ranting was only the way the latter would feel refreshed, just listened to it silently. But then he remembered something."Oh, Baekhyun, didn't you say you had to call Mr. Chen?""Ahhh... That's right. Let's call him then."It kept ringing for sometime and just when Baekhyun was about to cut the call, a person picked up."Hey, dae-ja." he said." This is Clara, Mr. Byun. I am sorry but Mr. Chen is inside the studio with the models so he left the phone with me. Do you, perhaps, have a message for him?""Oh, it's nothing special. Just tell him to call me later. Wait, on a second thought, tell him I will call later tonight, so keep his phone with him.""Sure, sir."He sighed. It was so weird that he couldn't talk to his friend since yesterday. They always somehow seem to miss out on each other everytime.   The car had come to a hault now. Kyungsoo checked the surroundings first to ensure no crazy fans had followed them there. Seriously, some fans of Baekhyun used to follow the model everywhere and the things they did, right from clicking pictures or straight up come running to him for a picture together were getting out of hands. And so, it had become necessary for them to check the surroundings thoroughly before letting the model out.Baekhyun never liked too many bodyguards around him. He didn't want to feel like some kind of a prisoner But his previous manager was both weak and annoying and so, he looked for a person who could do both the jobs perfectly. That's how he met Kyungsoo. He was someone that fit the phrase 'A small bomb with a big blast' completely. He looked tiny, but the small stature was a like a veil to the wrath underneath.He had formed a good bond with Kyungsoo who didn't talk much but always understood Baekhyun's feeling towards things and people. Baekhyun always called him his mommy as he always got what Baekhyun wanted in a particular situation, 'a perfect manager indeed' as Baekhyun used to say.The manager slash bodyguard opened the door for Baekhyun and they walked into the hotel. The meeting was in a private dining room and the manager of the hotel escorted them to the place of the meet up.It was another one of those boring meetings for Baekhyun where the company officials detailed him about the projects. Baekhyun used to like them before but now, they bored him. He knew all the things beforehand. He could tell the demands just by looking at the name and theme of the project.He walked into the room thinking it would be another one of those meetings. Boy, was he wrong.As soon as he walked into the room, Mr. Kim greeted him with excitement in his voice.He looked up and he never thought, in his wildest dreams, that he would see the face that he was looking at right now, ever again.Everything felt like a dream. The person standing before him. Was he real? Or was it just another one of the hallucinations Baekhyun used to have before? The things going around him were all still a blur when,a hand on his shoulder brought him back to the place. It was Kyungsoo."Mr. Byun. We were waiting for you. Introductions first. Meet Mr. Park, the representative of Precious and my partner for this project."Baekhyun felt dizzy. He couldn't stand anymore. His legs were about to give up.He gathered up all his courage to speak up. "Mr. Kim. I am sorry. Can you excuse me for a minute?" And then he dashed out without hearing an answer.He ran and ran till he found the men's room and dashed into one of the stalls. His hands were shaking. Tears welled up in his eyes and he couldn't think properly. "This is not happening. Why? Why now? Why?" he cried out loud. "I was just starting to get stronger. Why do you have to come back now?" he buried his face in his hands and screamed. He slid down the stall door and brought his knees closer to his chest, hugging them with his arms. He couldn't figure out what to do next. Everything was  getting dizzier by the second and his heart felt like being squeezed.  Kyungsoo was a bit shocked to see Baekhyun running out like that but as his manager, he had to handle the situation carefully."I am sorry. Mr. Byun had a tiring day today. He has been feeling a bit sick today. I will go check on him." "That's fine."  Mr.Kim said, " His work can be tiring. Make sure he is alright. We can wait here. Right, Mr.Park?.... Mr. Park?""Huh? Uh.. Yes... Yeah, sure." Chanyeol wasn't feeling well himself. He was barely keeping his tears from falling down. It wasn't making sense though everything was clear. 'Baekhyun was the model for his
