"But really, why do you love me?" Chanyeol inquired as he leaned back in his chair, his guitar resting safely in his lap.

Currently, they were sitting in each other's presences, lights off while doing you-know-what.

They were making songs together, because they both had a free period and had nothing really better to do, but to be honest, what they were doing now would've had to be the best out of any other choices.

"Do I even have to answer?" Baekhyun asked as he gestured to Chanyeol's body. "I mean, you look pretty damn fine if I do say so myself," he replied, but for some reason, Chanyeol wasn't exactly satisfied with the answer.

"Hmm is that all?" Chanyeol questioned and Baekhyun shrugged.

Chanyeol masked his disappointment and instead strummed his guitar, humming along.

It's been a week and a half since their confessions, and each day was a cool breeze in the spring.

They were overdosing on each other's company and love, and they were both fine because they were immune to the results— while others would begin getting bored and tired of their 'clingy' or 'too attached lover', Baekhyun and Chanyeol simply couldn't get enough.

"You know, we should make more songs together. I love hearing your voice," Chanyeol mentioned and Baekhyun smiled.

"One," he said and Chanyeol turned to look at him questioningly. After a little silence, Baekhyun spoke up again. "Yeah, we should make more songs. What should we name our new one?"

Chanyeol was still thinking about the number Baekhyun had said earlier but just put it into a corner of his mind, answering his question.

"Heaven," he answered and Baekhyun grinned.

"That's a good name. Two."

Chanyeol questioned it again, but he brushed it off as some game Baekhyun was playing, like a game called 'Everytime Chanyeol does something dumb.'

"I can't believe the finals are tomorrow..." Baekhyun trailed off as he looked at the ground, slightly nervous.

Chanyeol looked at Baekhyun with an unreadable expression until he reached his hand out and took Baekhyun's, holding it gently.

"If you're nervous, you have no reason to be... You've improved a lot— even if you were really good at the beginning," he stated and Baekhyun felt the nervousness being replaced by raging butterflies.

"Three," he said almost sheepishly as he looked up at Chanyeol, somehow looking shy.

"Why are you counting?" Chanyeol asked and Baekhyun didn't answer, instead, he simply leaned over and rested on Chanyeol's shoulder.

"Your ankle is healed right?"

"Yup," Chanyeol confirmed. "After around three weeks of resting it, it's pretty much fully healed."

They stayed like that for a while before they had to get back to class, letting go of each other's hands hesitatingly, going their separate ways.

"We are ONE!" They exclaimed as they all pushed their hands down.

It had been done a dozen of times, but every time felt amazing to Baekhyun.

He knew he would never forget the feeling of piling their hands together, saying encouraging words and preparing for the long battle ahead.

It was a weird feeling: knowing that this game would be the last one of the year, and the last time with this specific group of people.
