#chanbaek moment

I want to do another chanbaek analysis but I don’t even know if anyone is around anymore on here to read it…

Incorrect Chanbaek

Chanyeol: [carrying a load of grocery bags in both hands]

Baekhyun : [reaches out a hand to help him out]

Chanyeol: [switches all the bags to one hand] [takes Baekhyun’s hand and holds it]

Baekhyun: that's not what- okay

Chanbaek during EXO’ Clock

Hi guys!! How are you? Hope all of you are doing good!

Chanbaek resurrected me from being inactive. I miss them so much! We got so much content from them from the 2 days fanmeet!! Happy 11th anniversary! Still an exol and a chanbaekist today, tomorrow and always.

Here are some of my favorite chanbaek photos! Credit to the respective owners. Who is looking forward to their airport moments? definitely me!

Top 5 Most Solid Chanbaek Proofs-Part 1

5. Creep Cover

I don't normally count stuff like glances and eye contact because normally it is total bullshit and nothing out of the ordinary, but this is different.

In this video, we can very obviously see Chanyeol and Baekhyun making lovey-dovey eyes at each other.

Now, that is not it. If it was, then this still would have slipped under my radar. The thing is, that not only Chanyeol, but all the other members are also looking at Baekhyun.

Hmmm, it's almost as if they know that Chanyeol is singing for Baekhyun.

And that isn't it either!

Chanyeol's been pronouncing "you" and "your" very weirdly here. At first, I just thought that maybe he was struggling with the pronunciation. However, this particular moment at 0:26 sealed the deal for me.

If you slow the video down to 0.25, you can clearly hear Chanyeol saying "HIS skin makes me cry" when the lyrics are "Your skin makes me cry".

Need I say more? I rest my case.

My BL journey so far

Okay kids gather round, get comfortable. This is a long one.

Disclaimer/background info: I started watching BL about a month ago-ish. I don't remember the exact date but I believe I started last month or maybe the end of the month before. So I am still a bit of a noob and trying to catch up with watching things. I am also a very chaotic person which you will probably find out by the way this is structured/written. Lastly, even though I do study/teach English for a living, it is not my first language.

Okay with that out of the way, let's dive in.

Backstory/introduction

Like any good story I feel like a bit of backstory/intro might be a good idea. Hi, on the internet I mostly go by the nickname Peach, however I created this blog when I got into BL and have adopted yet another fruit as a new nickname for this side of my personality/identity which is Lychee. I don't really mind which one you use. I'm 24 years old and I am Dutch (the Netherlands). As mentioned in the disclaimer I teach English but I am also still a student, I plan on studying more after this because I love learning new things and especially about languages and cultures. I am part of the LGBTQ+ community myself and mostly identify as Bisexual or Pansexual. I use she/her pronouns. When I was about... 13-14 ish I rolled into the K-pop fandom. I used to listen to bands like SHINee, Super Junior, EXO, BAP, Infinite, Girls Generation, 2ne1, Block B... I was a real fangirl if you ask me HAHA. In this time I also watched a Kdrama or two here and there. Favorites being: Heartstrings and Shut up flower boy band. (I was never too into Kdrama back then). I also used Tumblr back then, I have a literal 12 year old tumblr account with almost 50K posts that I used during my K-pop times. I stopped using tumblr quite a while ago too but that blog is still there. I would reblog gifs and pics and what not about my biases and ships. But as interests do sometimes, it faded into the background and I fully stopped keeping up and listening to K-pop. It has literally been 10 years now.

But then...

One random afternoon I was bored at home and wanted to watch something new. I randomly realized Kdramas existed and so my journey to find one began. I stumbled upon Semantic Error and almost by accident decided to read the little description and the tags that were with it. My eyebrows furrowed for a minute before I could feel my eyes widen: "WAIT THE TWO BOYS... IT'S... GAY???" I could almost not believe what I saw. Obviously back in my K-pop times every band had ships and pairings you fangirled over, Baekyeol or ChanBaek, 2Min, JongKey... You know what I mean...You fangirled over every random moment they were together but that was as far as that went. So you could maybe imagine my excitement when I realized that Korea has come far enough to actually make BL shows now. So without further thoughts I watched Semantic Error. And because it was the first BL I saw I fell in love with it, the story was good, the acting was good, the fluff was to die for. An all round great experience to start off with.

Little did I know...

After this experience I was obviously hungry for more. So, I turned to the internet to tell me where they had been hiding this secret stash of everything I ever wanted in Kdrama... And boy was I surprised with the results. This was the moment I found out that not only Korea but also Japan, Thailand, Taiwan and China made BL shows... And not just 1 or 2... The choices were endless. My journey continued with (either... I kinda forgor...) Don't say no and Love by Chance. This was my first experience with NC scenes too. I had no idea that Thailand already took the step to also go into a little more 18+ when it comes to BL and to be fair... I was kind of excited about it. Now that I have seen more BLs I guess you could argue that neither Don't say no and Love by Chance are the best BLs ever made but at the time I was completely hooked on them.

And so began...

An insane marathon sprint. By this time I wanted more more more and that's what I consumed. I watched some more Kbl, some Japanese BL and some more Thai BL's as well. Until I hit KinnPorsche and that's when I realized how hooked I actually was on this new comfort genre I had just discovered. KinnPorsche allowed me to put the shows I had watched for far into perspective. Most BLs have the university students falling in love drama vibe... KinnPorsche was something completely different and boy did I fall in love, and hard too. This show quite honestly changed a lot of things for me. I went from 'I'm just casually watching these shows' to 'Oh I might be a little obsessed now' and after finishing KP I realized I wanted even more and I could no longer deny that I was becoming a part of the BL fandom.

So where we are now...

In the past month I have spent every free second of my day watching shows. Binging one after the other. I was lucky to have a week off during this time too and I have managed to COMPLETE 32 BLs between then and now. 5 currently watching shows I try and keep up with and a TO WATCH list of 40+ shows. (aka: obsessed much?)

In the meantime I have made a BL twitter and a BL tumblr (this one) to find out more about the BLs I watched or am watching currently, but also to keep up with new ones coming out. I have realized that because of how badly I want to keep up with things I SUCK at remembering names. If the show did not leave a big impression on me I can also easily forget the whole storyline of some. This in addition to people talking about ship names but also IRL ship names using actors real names makes it quite hard to keep up sometimes.

The community...

I also made these accounts in the hopes to interact with the community. This part has been quite a challenge for me. I have never been the most extraverted person (both irl and online) but I am one of those people that is almost desperate to make friends (that sounds a bit sad but hear me out.) I love talking to people (< but you said you're introvert.. I know again, hear me out) but I have absolutely no idea how to behave in order to make friends. I am often too shy to interact with people so I just kind of pull myself back and hope someone reaches out first. As soon as they do there's a good chance I will latch onto them without mercy. I have realized that I am afraid I do not fit in sometimes within this community (mostly on twitter to be honest) I see a lot of very knowledgeable people when it comes to BL shows and I am too afraid to interact. Here on tumblr and twitter I also (after literally 10 years) realize how talented people are when it comes to making gifs, edits and translations. Something I did not really think much about when I was using Tumblr 10 years ago. I have so much admiration for what people make but at the same time I feel like being a cheerleader from the sidelines by reblogging/retweeting I cannot match up to them too. Now I am obviously very new to BL and the community and I have actually met some lovely people already. I guess I just want too much too fast haha!

BL as a whole... (Disclaimer: The things I talk about are not just directed at BL alone, the issues I list are VERY MUCH also alive in Hetero shows and I would like to see change there too. But to keep on the topic of BL I list them here with my reasoning)

Realizing how far these countries have come when it comes to even making shows about LGBTQ+ is an awesome thing to see. Like I said before I come from the time where all I could really do is ship two band members together and fangirl over them sitting next to each other basically. I am part of the LGBTQ+ community myself and I live in a country is supposed to be very accepting so it is nice to see the steps different cultures are taking as well. However I do feel we are not there yet in the way they portray things. Consent (this is obviously not only a BL problem) has been a bit of an issue for me in some shows. Power dynamics - My main issue show for this one was Cutie Pie (not very sure how to elaborate further) NC scenes - Still being quite unrealistic sometimes, you really cannot tell me that bottoming is something you do without preparation of any sort. Only gay for xxx -> Straight but gay for this one man is not exactly how sexuality works. I feel like it might kind of give off the wrong idea as well. I do see that some of these trends are turning to the right direction (Between Us being a good example for consent for example)

Now I obviously know that these are fictional stories so please don't come for my throat over this. I am just listing a few things I have noticed in my journey.

The shows...

Now I would like to use this last little section here to mention and give my thoughts (positive and negative) about some shows I have seen. Let's start with the good shall we.

KinnPorsche -> I have mentioned this show before but I would like to do it again. I fell in love with this show, the actors are amazing, the storyline is great, the chemistry between the couples, the diversity in the storyline, the humor, the serious moments... It has so much and the casting they did for this show is a legit 10/10 Apo is such an amazing actor, Mile is his perfect match for the role and don't even get me started on the rest of the cast I would probably pull up an entire powerpoint presentation.

Life-Love on the line -> Is a Japanese BL that I related to quite a lot. The entire story of how two boys fall in love and grow up together, one becoming more serious while the other stays quite 'childlike' hit me right in the feels (I don't want to spoil things) It was such a beautiful story to be fair.

Semantic Error -> My first BL and what a great start to have to be honest. Need I say more?

Bad Buddy -> I loved this one because of the storyline and the awesome chemistry between the characters. It showed an amazing story of how sometimes you need to put your prejudice thoughts aside to find something beautiful.

Blueming -> The way this story unfolds made me fall even deeper in love with Kbls to be honest. The way this was filmed was just so beautiful.

Roommates of Poongduck -> I was a little hesitant in the beginning of this one. The storyline description did not grab my attention and after seeing how KBL is often focused more on the story than on the passionate kisses for instance it took me a moment to get into it. But we have all seen the kissing scene (that they robbed us of to be fair) and the chemistry between the characters had me sobbing while having the biggest grin on my face.

I told sunset about you -> When I got a little deeper into my research the name of this BL kept popping up everywhere and it obviously got me curious. Boy oh boy this was such a beautiful story I cannot even begin to explain. The exploration of sexuality, gender, love and friendship in this one... Ugh ugh ugh.

Not me -> A masterpiece. The themes, the storyline. They touch upon heavy topics while also maintaining an entertaining series. It's so good.

Love in the air -> Okay so, MOST of the shows above have a lot of deeper messages or storylines and love in the air might feel out of place. WRONG. Sky's storyline shows quite a bit of deeper meaning and I think it was done really well. The other part of why I like this show is because of the actors. They really did such an amazing job with this one and I cannot wait to see more of them.

ChocoMilkShake -> (up until last ep) this was my comfort show. I kind of ignored the dark side of them leaving and just focused on all the cute stuff but I just love it. They better give me a happy ending though!

Between Us -> I have seen UWMA and I must say that although the story was very very beautiful and touching and heavy... I did not vibe with the insane drama as much as I would have hoped. I did however enjoy the WinTeam moments quite a bit. And then BOOM Between Us happened and I am having a blast with this one. Consent being a big plus. The storyline is good, there has not been (knock on wood) unnecessary drama (I was afraid this would happen with the overhearing half a conversation thing they were giving us but I am SO happy to see it was done in a mature way). I love it.

And now for some shows I would like to give a tiny piece of my mind. DISCLAIMER: These are opinions you can ignore, I am not shitting on actors whatsoever, this is mostly targeted towards writing/storyline. THE ACTORS DID NOTHING WRONG!! I am okay with people asking questions about it though (: I also do not JUST shit on the shows I talk about here, I point out some things and also say what I DID like about it

Lovely writer -> This show holds a scene that I find THE MOST frustrating one I have seen so far. "Let me explain" -Silence- "I can explain" -Silence- "Wait don't leave" -Silence-.... If you have seen the show you probably know what I'm referring to. This is what I mean with unnecessary drama. Characters being angry at each other for longer than needed or for a reason that does not make sense. The rest of the show was okay. I don't hate the show but it frustrated me more than that I enjoyed it.

Big Dragon -> The first episode had me screaming. The NC scene, the open kink representation on this one made me so excited. It felt like the next step towards representation for kinks within the genre... And then that slowly died off. The scene where Yai is with the girl that (I suppose) normally helps him with his kink and then the bathroom scene where Mangkorn orders Yai around were 10/10 too but then it was gone and we were back to quite the normal BL plotline again which I found very sad. In the later episodes I also missed the chemistry between Yai and Mangkorn. I fucking LOVE MosBank together like... They are legit amazing actors and I would love to see them again in something different. I am just a little disappointed in the storyline progression.

Cutie pie -> The power dynamic in this show was not really my style. The controlling BF type deal was a bit hard to watch at times. and I KNOW that this entire show is about breaking free of that but the fact that there it is needed in the first place and the lying and secrets.. it was all a bit much for me. However the casting was really good. The chemistry between the characters/actors is awesome and everyone played their role really well!

To my star -> NOW BEFORE YOU BEHEAD ME, HEAR ME OUT. I love this show. I actually love this show. It is really good. But there are some small things that made me frustrated sometimes. Talking about feelings is hard and I do get that 110% but it sometimes felt quite frustrating and left me with a little bit of a bad feeling. I really hope that this show teaches people that you can only really move forward by talking about your feelings instead of running away from them.

Together with me -> The controlling, dramatic, witch female role. Now again, hear me out. The show is great! The chemistry is there, the acting is 10/10 the casting is 10/10 but it has an element I would like to discuss that I have seen in multiple BLs as well. Now I get that the girl is mad, right. Her BF literally cheats on her (shame on u) but the entire master plan the girls come up with like... damn girls... That's all I really have to say about it. Not all women become murderous, petty witches.

TharnType -> From homophobic to being almost assaulted into a gay relationship. Again casting 10/10, chemistry 10/10. But I see this storyline quite a bit too in deluded forms. Consent is a BIG issue in this show for me. Then there is the "I am only okay with this gay guy" idea too that just kinda made me pull some faces at my screen at times.

If you have made it this far... I'm so sorry?

As for now, I think I have written enough about my BL journey so far, if you DID actually read this far and have any questions about it, feel free to ask. I am willing to discuss anything and everything as long as we respect each others views (:

Blue (Hold Onto Me Everyday) by melings

Hello dear kaisooist.

The sequence in which we will be sharing this space:

Firstly I will introduce the fic with its technical aspects of word count, tags, author’s summary, and brief plot.

An excerpt of the fic that i believe carries the essence of the fic.

Soon after i will give a short introduction to the author and

a qna segment.

Today we will be looking at Blue (Hold Onto Me Everyday) by melings. 

Blue (Hold Onto Me Everyday) by melings is about 8k words. Set in the omegaverse where kaisoo are mated. Content warnings uh i guess infertility. General tags include Soulmates; mpreg; family issues; angst with happy ending.

The premise of the fic, i'm just going to read from the authors summary: 

Kyungsoo and Jongin both dreamt of having a family together and it's hard when the thing you want the most always escapes you, even more so when you have to see everyone around you getting it but you.

A bit on the plot, the dramatic events of Blue by melings starts with chanbaek’s announcement of having a fourth pup to their family. Kaisoo goes back home with a heavy heart and we see Kyungsoo’s feelings of hurt, sadness and frustration. We see Jongin joining his mate in the shower where they share an emotionally vulnerable fight. Following day, Jongin comes back home as usual, but is surprised that the omega is back earlier than him when usually Kyungsoo would be the last few to leave the university. Soon after we find out that Kyungsoo has been having headaches. A call by Chanyeol later, we see Kyungsoo in hospital. Without giving too much away, soon things get better.

—-

After coming home from their outing with their friends, kaisoo shares an emotionally vulnerable fight. I think the excerpt I will be reading shows how deep the hurt is for kaisoo, not being able to conceive after so many years. Kyungsoo expresses pain, sadness and frustration to Jongin, to his mate who he loves the most. But at this moment, because of the deep pain in his heart, Kyungsoo says some things to Jongin that hurts them both. 

"There's nothing wrong with you or us, love." Jongin tried to soothe his mate, voice calm. "We just have to keep trying."

 "I don't want to keep trying!" Kyungsoo cried out loud, making Jongin's heart break with the way big fat tears rolled down his chubby cheeks. His own eyes watered. "I know you won't say it out loud but it has been taking a toll on you! I'm tired of always having to watch other people getting pregnant but us!"

"You should go find another omega who can have your baby, Jongin. It has been proven that I cannot. You shouldn't suffer because my body refuses to work properly." Kyungsoo spat out, leaving him momentarily frozen in his place.

Anger was slowly rising to his own blood and Jongin knew he must have been emitting strong pheromones because he suddenly felt a little dizzy. He couldn't help it though, it was his natural reaction to his mate saying he should leave him.

"That's not even a possibility." He answered through gritted teeth, refusing to believe Kyungsoo even suggested that again.

 "Well it should fucking be! When are you gonna realize that I'm not able to give you what you want?!" Kyungsoo yelled into his face when he turned around and faced him once again, his brows furrowed and his full lips pursed tightly.

 "You're the only thing I want!" Jongin answered helplessly. The mere thought of being intimate with someone who wasn't Kyungsoo, of someone else carrying his kid, made him want to puke. The mere thought of being with someone who just wasn't Kyungsoo was not even worth thinking about. "I don't want anyone else to have my child but you . I want you to carry my pup and if that's not possible then that's it. I only want that with you."

The struggle of infertility is something that is kind of universal, raw emotions we see melings put kaisoo through was emotionally effective in the way it pulls at our hearts, well at least my heartstrings and made me cry.

Dear listener, how did you feel upon reading meling’s blue? What were the emotions stirred up in you? 

—

Now, I would like to take some time to talk about the author. Melings works on ao3 amount to 30 fics and counting. She has put kaisoo in different settings ranging from them being deaf, unconventional abo relationship dynamics, mafia au and one of my guilty pleasure fics - a lotta love. 

melings has been in this fandom since late 2019, that's about 4 years. 

How melings got into kpop was when she saw Ace's Savage as an ad on YouTube. Liked it enough to look it up and show it to her sister, who shared that she only liked one kpop song since 2016, the only one she had heard and was obsessed with was EXO's Monster. They decided to stalk EXO after that, got hooked and the rest is history!

Melings is currently obsessed with reading! She loves to read, not just fanfiction. Melings is currently about to finish The Villa by Rachel Hawkins, a book she highly recommends.

I asked our author of the day, some questions prior to this session and this is what she had to say:

So the first question I asked was: What was your favourite part of piecing up a story like ‘Blue (Hold Onto Me Everyday)’? 

Mel’s response was that her fics mostly were smut, with Blue she wanted to take a different approach. It was fun to leave the usual comfort zone to explore topics like angst and hurt/comfort. She tried hard not to fall back on writing explicit scenes for Blue, the only scene where they are naked is solely to represent how close and comfortable their relationship is. It's a testament to how much they trust one another not about actually having their lover naked in front of them and wanting to ravish them all the time. 

Melings has written many AUs with kaisoo in different settings, so my next question to melings was what was the most challenging part of writing this particular AU? 

Melings confessed she had never written such an emotional fic before. This was very heavy in terms of feelings and she knew there were people in real life who probably felt just like Kyungsoo and Jongin here, so she didn't want to disrespect anyone by taking the matter lightly. At the same time, when writing and plotting, she wanted the readers to experience the rollercoaster of emotions along the characters.

My next question was: Was this the original idea you had in mind when you first drafted the fic? How much has the story grown or changed while writing?

Melings replied that starting the fic she only had the first scene, chanbaek's announcement, the confrontation, kaisoo in the shower, and the hospital bit in her head. There were some tidbits that were added mostly as plot fillers and for it not to look rushed. Didn't want them to have an existential crisis and then go on living as if nothing had changed, but slowly let time heal and surprise them.

The second last question I ask melings: What did your writing process look like?

For melings, her writing process was chaotic. It always is. Started writing everything in one sitting up to the point where Jongin gets in the shower. While writing their fight/confrontation it got way more emotional than she had expected. She hadn't intended for Kyungsoo to suffer through it so much or for him to feel so helpless but it kinda worked itself up to that and it was hard to even write it. The author also felt bad for Jongin, since he had to hear his soulmate saying such hurtful things, that is not easy to process. That whole scene was very cathartic in some ways, since melings puts herself in their positions while writing and really wanted Kyungsoo to let it all out, but it was also sad because those are the kind of moments that are not meant to be publicly displayed in a couple's life, it felt like she was intruding in a way. So it was hard and felt too intimate at times. However, the ultimate goal was for the readers to relate and feel happy and sad for them, for readers to understand the characters.

As she was trying to come up with a title, Kai's Blue came to Spotify and she knew that was the name she wanted to use to tell their story because the lyrics match their feelings perfectly!

Okay last but not the least, the final question: Did you see any reflection of your own life in them? Be it the plot or the characters? You dont need to go into intimate detail, maybe just a snippet of what inspired you in real life to write this fic.

The story was born because she met a couple who couldn't have children and saw the way their family and loved ones avoided the topic whenever they were around, as though the mere mention of it would make them breakdown. Which is understandable, it is a touchy subject for some. It got melings thinking. How might the couple feel, what goes on inside their heads, in private. She was also working on another entry for the same fest back then and the thought was so intense she had to stop and start with what would become Blue. 

So those were my five questions to melings. I am forever grateful that she said yes to participating in this episode today. 

Thank you so much for tuning in, and we’ll see you in the next one. Bye!

➻ Pairings: ChanBaek, Chanyeol x Baekhyun

➻ Genre: romance, vampire au

➻ Additional: fluff, cute

➻ Word Count: 2.5K

➻ Warnings: N/A

➻ Author’s notes: This story is cross posted on multiple sites under the same username!

It was early one morning, slivers of sunlight shining through Baekhyun’s parted curtains. The young male laid curled up in a small ball, swaddled by his blankets in the middle of the bed. His alarm hadn’t gone off yet, but his internal clock was already telling him that it was time to get up, regardless of what the large, blaring red numbers read on his night stand. And as much as Baekhyun tried to fend off consciousness and keep himself buried in the warmth of dreamland, the warm rays of the sun is what finally stirred him enough that sleep slipped from his grasp. A soft groan left him, dark brown eyes fluttering open a few times; blurry, sleepy vision slowly correcting.

7:30AM

He was highly annoyed at the time he read. Mainly because today was his off day and while his alarm was still set, he could easily just hit snooze or turn it off and spend the morning sleeping in. He hadn’t realized how his body had already been trained to wake up early thanks to his current school semester. 8:30 AM classes all week; Psychology and Biology. At least his math class was online, because if he honestly had to take a math class so early in the morning, he would probably quit school altogether. Of course that would be the end of his life. Baekhyun shuddered at the thought of the two hour lecture he would receive from his parents, that were paying for his schooling through their life’s savings. Of which Baekhyun already felt guilty for using and was doing his best to pay back the money through the small part time jobs he could get. 

A groan left him as he pushed himself up to sit in bed. One, slim hand pressed against the left side of his head, trying to calm the throbbing of the headache already forming. Today was not going to be a good day, he could already tell. With a grunt, he pushed away his covers and got out of bed, and like he did every morning, he made his way to the window and pushed open the curtains, letting the sunlight flood his aesthetically pleasing white room. The brightness blinded his eyes, however, and he closed them tightly, waiting only a few short moments before opening them once more, allowing them to get used to the new light. On the third floor of his apartment building, Baekhyun’s bedroom window overlooked the horizon to the east, facing the mountains in the very far off distance. It was always a gorgeous and breathtaking sight and he could never get over the beauty, even though he has seen the same sight for the past two years. 

Following his regular routine, Baekhyun unlocked his window and began to push it up. He stopped though, when a rose caught his attention. It was just laying there, on his windowsill, as if it had always been there, like that was home. Though Baekhyun was 100% sure that the plant had not been there the night before. But what was really odd (besides the fact that there was a rose on his windowsill on the third story of a building) was that it was green. And not like an icky light green, or a puke green, or even a neon green. But a beautiful dark green. It was a color that Baekhyun had never seen before, but he truly loved it. With a slight smile, he pushed his window all the way up and locked it into position, letting in the fresh, outside air. He grabbed the rose with delicate, long fingers, cradling it in his hands as he examined it. It was pure green. There was no hint of another color inside it, as if it had been dyed. It was all green...all natural.

Or was it? Could a green rose be natural if one had never actually been seen before? Then again, maybe it was just an undiscovered species of rose. Of course that also brought up the question of how it got there. Many outrageous ideas ran through his mind. Like maybe scaling the building to set the rose there. Or maybe a magical being hovered in the air to plant the rose there? Or maybe, and this was the scariest idea, someone snuck into his apartment while he was asleep and left the rose there. That seemed more like a plausible idea though, as terrifying as it was. Baekhyun knew he could be a very heavy sleeper and it was possible for someone to come into his home and he would never know it. 

A cold shiver ran down his back and Baekhyun nearly dropped the rose in his hands.The thought of someone coming in and seeing him in such a vulnerable position was so terrifying he almost didn’t want to keep the rose now. Almost. But despite his better judgment, he scavenged around his apartment until he found a suitable cup he could use as a vase and placed the rose inside, setting it on his desk. It was a pop of color in his nearly all white room. It strangely suited the place and Baekhyun kind of wanted to have more.

Baekhyun got his wish the next morning. Following his normal routine, Baekhyun was greeted with another green rose at his windowsill. It was just as gorgeous as the first and just as mysterious. How did it get there? Why was it there and who put it there? These were the questions that were constantly eating at Baekhyun. Has someone mistaken his apartment for someone else's? He wouldn’t be surprised. He didn’t consider himself anything special. He was just an average college student with an above average talent in singing, but that was about it. He never tried to overachieve, never really tried to be the center of attention (even though he had a loud and outgoing personality). He considered himself normal, lived a normal life. Who would risk their life to leave him a rose on his windowsill? It was quite confusing to him, but somehow he found it strangely endearing. The second rose found a home with the first and Baekhyun went on about his day, going to class and hanging out with his friends. 

When night came, he sat on his bed in his duck pajamas, eyes trained on the window. He wondered if his secret stalker admirer would come again. Would he wake up to find another green rose, or would he be dead? He wasn’t sure and he certainly didn’t like how wild his imagination was running at the moment, but all of them were plausible scenarios. But honestly, what could Baekhyun even do? It could just be a fluke he was getting the roses and eventually the person would realize that he was leaving them at the wrong window (however he was managing to leave them), or maybe he should arm himself with a weapon in case this all was intentional and he really did have a crazy stalker.

That night, Baekhyun went to sleep with a knife tucked under his pillow and a mind filled with worry. Morning came quickly and Baekhyun was pleasantly surprised to find himself still alive. And just like the morning before, there was a single green rose waiting for him on the windowsill. Baekhyun placed the rose with the others and continued about his day. For the next month or so, Baekhyun continued to wake up to a green rose on his windowsill, which he continued to add to his collection. By the 28th rose, Baekhyun was starting to really wonder who was leaving these roses and why. He was pretty sure it was no longer someone sneaking into his apartment to leave the roses. Especially when he made sure to deadbolt the locks every night. One night he even moved his dresser to block the door so no one could and still there was a rose left. It was a mystery to him, a freaky mystery. And to add weirdness to this mystery, Baekhyun also noticed that the roses never died. Sure he filled the vase with water and left the roses near the window for sunlight, but he never did any real tending to them. They should have died, but they didn’t. They were just as bright, perky and alive as they were the first day he found them. It was interesting if not a little creepy. 

Curiosity was finally getting the best of him and Baekhyun decided that this would be the night that he would stay up late. He would wait, in the darkness, by the window to see who was leaving him roses and finally confront him about it. His plan was half decent enough, or at least he thought it was. Surely nothing could possibly go wrong. So that’s what he did. As night fell, Baekhyun turned off his lights in his room and took a seat next to his window. He wanted to be close, but not too close where he could possibly be caught, because that would just ruin it all. If whoever it was saw him before they left the rose, Baekhyun may never actually solve the mystery of the green rose. Resting his head on the wall, waiting as patiently as his patient little butt would allow him, but by two in the morning, he was already falling asleep. With one passing look at the clock, he noted to himself it was only 2:30 in the morning, and slowly darkness enveloped him. 

He was shaken from his sleep by a slight chill. It started on his cheek and slowly traveled downwards, making him shiver slightly. It was pulling him from the warmth of his dreams and as he became aware, he realized it almost felt like wind blowing on him. And while he knew he was at his window, he didn’t remember leaving his window open. So did that mean…?

Eyes snapping open, Baekhyun was greeted with an open window and once more on his windowsill, there was a green rose, laying neatly on top of it. But unlike the other 28 times, this time there was a piece of paper tucked neatly under the rose. With a shaking hand, he reached out and grabbed it carefully. Laying the rose in his lap, he unfolded the paper and read over the few, short words that were written.

‘We’ll meet soon, Baekhyun.��

Baekhyun’s eyes slowly moved back to the window, staring out into the dark of the night, skies only illuminated by the artificial light of the street lamps below. Indeed, there was someone who was really leaving him these roses every night. Someone who knew how to scale a building up 3 stories without being seen or heard. A person who knew his name, yet he was almost sure he had never met this person before. The stalker idea came back full force, but once more his rational side wasn’t fully convinced. Wouldn’t this person have already tried to be with him or kill him or done something more than just leave roses? Didn’t stalkers usually want their victims to know who they were and why they were stalking them? This honestly didn’t make any sense to Baekhyun.

It just continued to leave him confused. He let out a tired sigh and slowly stood, the rose tumbling to the floor. He stared at it for a moment, not really seeing it, but just staring. His mind went blank, as if in a trance, but as quickly as it started, it stopped and he snapped out of it. Shaking his head, he bent down and picked up the rose, holding it in his left hand while he closed the window and locked it once more with his right hand. He made his way to his desk and placed the rose in his makeshift vase of a cup with the other roses before shuffling his way to the bed. Crawling in, he slipped under his covers and curled himself up into a ball and laid there, letting sleep once more overcome him.

The following night, Baekhyun was determined to stay awake and meet this mysterious man. So instead of going to class that day he stayed at home and slept for as long as he could, which was only until the late afternoon. However, armed with the most sugary drink he could find, he set himself up once more by the window and stared out into the darkness. He made it till about one in the morning before his eyes started growing heavy once again. He tried to keep himself awake with more sugar (candy and soda), but he couldn't feel their effects like he had at the beginning. He struggled for nearly an hour to keep his eyes open, but eventually he succumbed to sleep, eyes closing with one last blurry look to the window. He wasn't sure how long he had been asleep or what actually woke him back up, but something did. Sleepy eyes opened and he looked around confused for a moment before he realized what was happening in front of his face. 

The window was opening. And it took all of his strength not to just jump up right then and there and see what was going on. Baekhyun realized that his nightly visitor wasn’t aware that he was awake yet, so Baekhyun was going to sit there and wait, at least until the window was fully open. It was an agonizing three seconds but the window was eventually open and Baekhyun saw the hand reaching through, green rose clutched into thick fingers. It was a quick movement, Baekhyun wasn’t even aware that he thought it, but he grabbed the wrist and pulled. The green rose fell from his fingers, a head coming through his open window and he was greeted to the site of the most handsome man he had ever seen. He was in shock and awe that this man was the one who was leaving roses on his windowsill. Speaking of which….

Baekhyun stood and moved closer, trying to see what the other was standing on in order to get to his third story window, but saw nothing. Nothing but just this man. How was that even possible? A deep chuckle left his visitor and Baekhyun found his hand removed from the other’s wrist. “Seems we finally meet.” His voice was so deep, it sent shivers down Baekhyun’s spine. “But unfortunately I can’t stay to chat. Maybe another time.” The male ducked back out of his window and Baekhyun gasped, rushing forward, hands pressed on his windowsill.

“Wait!” he called, but there was no one there. No sound. Nothing. It was like the man had never been there. His nameless visitor had appeared and like a ghost, had disappeared into the dark of night, leaving more questions than answers in his wake. He was handsome, with beautifully thick fingers. His voice was deep, almost melodic and Baekhyun was craving to hear more. 

 “I don’t even know your name.” The words barely passed his lips before he heard a whisper, from the familiar voice and for some reason it gave him a sense of hope. Hope this wouldn’t be the last time they would meet and like promised, next time, they could do more than just stare at each other.

“Chanyeol.”

From the title, you can already imagine what I'm looking for and yes. I am searching for some roleplay partners (not replacing anybody ofc) but I am bored out of my mind XD and need some pure entertainment.

Away from the intro, my rules are pretty much the simplest thing ever so I won't bother to address them at the moment and I have zero triggers! So have fun with that knowledge. What I'm searching for is Chanbaek or anything Baekhyun related, I don't mind but considering that I main and bias Baekhyun (yes, I know) but I am extremely experienced with him because of the fact that I've biased him since 2012-2013 from now so yeah—

ALSO I LOVEEE BAEKHYUN X TAEYEON.

Plots are easily manageable, I don't have any plots on me but I know that I will be able to come up with something or we can come up with something together.

I believe that— oh, my literacy is literate to advanced or easier to say, I mirror responses! ^^ so yeah. I'm a sucker for multiple characters so be prepared with that. I am fine with OCS but don't ask me to play a certain character for your Oc because I won't. I will play whoever I want to play as— meaning that I'm very limited because of the fact that I'm extremely biased to EXO and some others.

My groups or Soloists that I know:

Baekhyun

EXO

Black pink

GOT7

CL

Taeyeon

BTS

G-Dragon

ETC.

I believe that is it— if not then we can gladly speak about that in pms. Also I only do discord considering that it is easier for me and it is just— easy. Yeah so yes! DM me if you're interested ^^

About Chanbaek, can you tell if it's real, are they still in a relationship?

That I can't tell. I have no solid evidence.

But they're moments are well , damn !

Top 5 Most Solid Chanbaek Proofs- Part 2

4.The Footsie

This moment has become rather obscure. I only got into Exo and Chanbaek this year. Even after watching dozens of Chanbaek moment compilations and analysis, it took me a while to find out about this.

You can see Baekhyun, um, giving Chanyeol a footsie, basically. And let me just say, this is not fan service.

Don't get me wrong, Chanbaek did and still do fan service. Examples:

And here is Sehun trying to make them do fan service:

(This is a pretty legendary Chanbaek, so maybe I will do a post about this outside of this series, since the rest of the three spots have been reserved.)

Anyway, so, as I was saying, Chanbaek does do fan service. But here's something I use to distinguish between actual moments and fan service: Aside from being so obviously romantic, fan service is always done while laughing, awkwardly or because they do find it hilarious. It's made to be a joke and - as it is meant to be - fun.

Although Baekhyun does have a tiny smile on his face, he nor Chanyeol are giving a single f*ck about the camera. They really seemed to have forgotten about it.

Honestly, when I first found this, I thought it was straight something out of a fan fiction.

Don't you think so? I mean, it very much seemed unreal and fake when I found it, especially since they normally try (and fail) to be subtle in front of cameras.

I hope this was enough to prove my point. See you next time :)
