TANGLED HEARTS [CHANBAEK] •PROLOGUE•

I still remember our first meet.

Amongst the professional talks and clinking of glasses, you stood there... tall and confident.

The charm you exuded was impossible to ignore. Just like every other person... I found myself utterly captivated by your allure too.

Your warm smile and the way you spoke.... your words flowed like honey.. wrapping around me in a way that made my heart race.

Your name sounded so perfect on my lips.

Byun Baekhyun🥀

*shy* Park Chanyeol....

Park Chanyeol🥀

*chuckles* Glad to meet you, Hyunnie.

As we conversed, I couldn't help but be enchanted by the innocence in your eyes. A gaze that had sincerity and kindness in them.

In that moment, I remained totally unaware that... what our eyes see isn't the whole truth.

Little did I know, that the sweet facade you wore was just the tip of the iceberg.... underneath was something so unexpected and I was yet to discover it.

~~~

I remember the warm moments we shared where our relation started blossoming into something more deep.... more intimate.

How even your controlling nature was like badge of honour for me. I felt like this was what I needed the most in my life. That my world will only revolve around you and only you.

Park Chanyeol🥀

*stern* I don't like him.

Byun Baekhyun🥀

*smiles* I will stop talking with him...

The warm hug you gave me in return felt like a victory to me.

I was gone....

~~~

I remember how I always felt like even your shadow was following me. Keeping me in check.... observing if I ever get away from your hawk eyes.

So much so that even your wife had to meddle in my life. How her concerned eyes begged me to believe her.

Kwon Hwayoung🥀

*calm* Leave Park Chanyeol. I'm telling this for your own good, Baekhyun...

Byun Baekhyun🥀

.......................

I was lost at words. Was I supposed to thank her? Or was I supposed tell her to not meddle in my life?

But I chose to just ignore her.

~~~

I remember when it all came crashing down. How the reality hit on my face.

Your mocking words cutting deep through my heart as you revealed your true colours.

Park Chanyeol🥀

*scoffs* You were a mere pawn in my plan, Hyunnie~

Byun Baekhyun🥀

*gasps* Y-Yeol...

I felt betrayed.... I felt used. My shattered heart wanted nothing but to ask you. Why? Why me?

But still I let you walk away. Walk away from me after you successfully trampled my heart under your feet.

~~~

And now that I'm finally leaving.... why are your eyes moist?

Why... when I'm smiling here.... you are the one who looks sad?

Byun Baekhyun🥀

*smiles* Thank you for letting me go... because I wouldn't have walked away....

Park Chanyeol🥀

H-Hyun..

Hope this farewell will finally unravel our 'Tangled Hearts'.
