Are we friends? (1/1)

From: unknounHey, Its Baekhyun.11:52pmHey, You texted me.Honestly, I didn't think you would.11:53pmUmm, Yeah.I didn't think you would reply this fast.11:53pm I was waiting for your text. That's what Chanyeol wanted to type. His heart was beating erratically. He had given up all hopes that he would receive any kind of text from Baekhyun. He wanted to say so much but  instead he settled for a simple reply. Yeah, I couldn't sleep.11:54pmOkay.So...Umm... You told me to text you for something?11:56pm.OH, umm, yeah.Can we meet somewhere?11:57pmOkay, I guess.I know a cafe. Should we meet there?11:57pmYeah, sure.Anywhere's fine.11:58pmOkay, I'll text you the address and time.11:58pmAlright.11:58pmOkay, then...Umm..Goodnight.11:59pmGoodnight, Baekhyun.12:00am Looking at the conversation, Baekhyun cringed a bit. Never in his life had he thought that texting Chanyeol would be so awkward. In the past, they had always used a ton of emojis followed by embarrasing selfies that were most likely for telling what the other was doing right at the moment.Well, that wasn't the point.The point was, he was going to meet Chanyeol and that made him both nervous and afraid. Why exactly did Chanyeol want to meet him? Why now? Many such whys and hows and whats covered his thoughts and soon enough made him sleepy. That night, Baekhyun slept with his phone clenched to his chest.  Chanyeol couldn't believe it. He actually convinced Baekhyun to meet him. He couldn't wait to meet Baekhyun tomorrow. There was a sea of feelings in his heart right now and the nervousness took over soon. It was 2 am and he still couldn't sleep. He was still staring at the ceiling, absentmindedly counting the number of glass shards hanging from the small chandelier above. The bedside lamp was still on and the room was lit up like it was daytime. Chanyeol couldn't think of any proper way to greet Baekhyun. But what was he even afraid of? This was his Baekhyun and he would just talk to him like he did before. Well, like when they used to be friends and Baekhyun was completely oblivious of the taller's feelings towards him. 'Just go with the flow Chanyeol', was his motto.He decided to remain cool, not to over the top.  And that's why he was now sitting at "The Granny's Cafe" where Baekhyun had texted him to meet up, an hour later.He wanted to leave a bit later but he didn't have much to do other than just sitting in his hotel room and look at the clock ticking, so he thought, why not explore the area as he didn't want to get lost later when he actually had to go there. But he decided to just stay at the place instead of coming back an hour later to save himself from the to and fro movement  ( well, that's what he convinced himself.)The cafe had a homey feeling to it. Not too big, just a warm and welcoming place for the admirers of love. The owner lady was sweet too. She offered him his coffee with a warm smile and even complimented him about his looks.Chanyeol could see why Baekhyun liked this place and chose to meet here. A quiet, warm place with warm people, just what Baekhyun liked.The hour passed by rather quickly for Chanyeol, thinking of ways to talk to Baekhyun. Soon, a ring of the bell on the door indicated someone entering the cafe. The moment Baekhyun entered the place, every ounce of air was soaked out of Chanyeol's lungs. The Baekhyun that entered the cafe was nothing like his model self. He looked like Chanyeol's Baekhyun, like he remembered from three years ago. The smaller had a black hoodie on with a light blue pair of jeans hugging his legs, glasses rimmed with a white black frame, exactly how he looked three years ago. Although his face was covered with a mask, probably to hide his identity from the crazy fans, he looked perfect, beautiful in the eyes of Chanyeol.Baekhyun seemed to look around a bit and when he caught Chanyeol looking at him, he started walking in his direction. He stopped at the table and sat across Chanyeol and took off his mask. The lady immediately recognized Baekhyun and came to greet him with the warmest smile."Oh, You are here!""Yeah, Ahjumma. Can I have my usual?" Baekhyun replied with the same warm smile."Sure." she said and walked away. There was a silence on the table and both of them didn't seem to know what to say. Baekhyun decided to break the ice."Uhh.. Hey." Baekhyun said hesitatingly."Hi." Chanyeol r
