Fragile Hearts

• Yixing •

Yixing placed a glass of hot milk and two sandwiches on the tray, he walked to the corner and knocked on the door before he opened it, peeking his head. He quietly placed the tray on the side as he watched Baekhyun writing some notes and listening attentively to his tutor. Yes, he has a private teacher.

Yixing gave a signal to the private teacher telling that it's break time.

"Okay, Baekhyun-ssi, you did great today let's continue this tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you." Baekhyun bowed, and smiled as he saw Yixing. When the teacher left, Yixing placed the tray in front of Baekhyun.

"I know you're hungry so,"

Baekhyun grinned as he drank the glass of milk, "Hyung, I'm not a kid anymore actually I can make this by myself, it's so easy." he said as he bite his sandwich. Yixing ruffled his hair.

"Well, that's my job. And besides, you're like a son to me." Baekhyun grinned even more as he almost spilled his milk giving his cousin a disgust look.

"Aish, hyung you sound so old aigoo," he hugged himself feeling the goosebumps.

"Yah, shouldn't you be thanking me instead? tsk I'm just following what your Mom told me." hearing the word 'Mom' made Baehyun's smile slowly, fade.

Yixing shyly rubbed his nape. "Uhm.. I'm sorry..." Baekhyun gave a weak smile, lowering his head as he looked at the silver bracelet that his Mom gave him, before she left him.

"It's okay. I know she's watching me from above." the younger answered.

Yixing slightly scratched his ear as he thinks of any topic to break the awkward atmosphere, Baekhyun raised his head and spoke,

"Hyung, can we go out tomorrow?" he asked. For Baekhyun, it was pretty boring to stay in the house all day almost everyday he's stucked inside Yixing's house.

"But Baek, you know—"

"Hyung, I'll die in boredom here just for once please?" Yixing sighed, of course he can't resist his cousin's cuteness and in fact, he has a point though.

"Where do you want to go?" Baekhyun couldn't help but to smile knowing that he won over his cousin.

"You can't resist me don't you?" the younger teased, smirking.

"It's not that, it's just that you have a point and you have the right to go outside.."

"Whatever you say Xing hyung, but thanks." the elder gave him a smile as he pats his back.

"Anytime."

Yixing told him that he'll just prepare his uniform for his duty today, leaving Baekhyun inside the room. The younger sighed as feel the excitement cause he already can't wait for tomorrow, he was smiling crazily. And he couldn't stop himself. He was too excited.

Baekhyun touched his chest as he inhaled and exhaled to calm down, "Calm down heart you need to save more energy for tomorrow." he chuckled slightly caressing his chest.
