the official Chanbaek thread

[dreamybaek]

Hey everyone, nice to meet you J After lurking in this thread for a long time, I have finally decided to overcome my shyness and create an account here on OH. I really hope you do not mind a newbie like me joining your community. First of all, I would like to say that every post on this thread, although the latter might not be as active as others, is gold and that I regard @whocares and @Cherrysé as the senpais of senpais among all ChanBaek shippers that I have got to known until now. I really admire how confidently you defend your opinions, how you never seem to doubt CB and how you seem to be so immune against all the hate this ship receives (for reasons that are still inexplicable to me). I generally like how everyone on this thread seems to so positive and mature when it comes to discussing these two - something that I have never witnessed on Twitter, where people love to jump into conclusions very quickly and create rumours … The negativity that oozes from there sometimes really affects my faith in CB and makes me want to „give up“ on them. However, it’s always this thread that pulls me back in again and reminds me why I started to like CB in the first place. Therefore, I want to thank everyone who posts on this thread. Thank you very much!

 

I am afraid that I am not very good at collecting pictures, videos and other material, therefore I am sorry for not being able to contribute a lot to this beautiful thread when it comes to those things. Nevertheless, I have been watching CB attentively for some time now and would love to share my POV if you do not mind. I usually do this on Tumblr and actually even saw one of my posts shared somewhere here on this thread (I felt so flattered >.<). Again, I am sorry if this will be too long and if you are not into analyses/theories and such you can just skip this :‘)

 

As I have mentioned above already, the negativity that oozes from Twitter when it comes to CB really does affect me at times even though I have come to a point where I truly believe that what these two have cannot simply be friendship. It just did not make sense to me anymore. It did not make sense to me how these two could simply be friends when their behaviour towards each other is so evidently different from their behaviour towards the other members. Many people, mostly non-shippers, who have also noticed this immediately say that the shippers are at fault, that C and B have become distant because they have gotten tired of getting paired up by fans. This explanation does not convince me though. I saw @whocares elaborating on this subject before and I completely agree with everything she says. I feel like this explanation is … too easy. If I was honestly bothered by getting paired up with my bandmate, why would I continue being touchy with other members with whom I could also get shipped with? I mean, if it really bugged me, I would try my best to stay away from too much skinship, wouldn’t I? Or I would at least speak up maybe and somehow try to indicate that it bothers me. However, neither B nor C have done this. They have absolutely no problem openly doing skinship with their other members but one simple hug and both of them become flustered as if they were asked to make out on stage. Many people on Twitter were super salty about the fact that CB did not have any „big“ moments (to me, they were somewhat big though) at SMTown and Exordium and immediately started dropping this ship, claiming they were dead and all and that *insert other ship* were so much more real because they had a lot of skinship and so on. I honestly cannot understand why people are still so surprised when C&B are rather subtle on stage because it’s not like they haven’t been like this before. Besides, isn’t this exactly why so many people believe that they are more than your typical K-pop OTP? I can understand the yearning for sweet moments, I totally can. But I also think that people should have figured out by now that these two do not exactly like directing the spotlight to themselves, that they seem to try and keep whatever they have as private as possible, away from the people’s eyes. And that alone is very telling in my opinion. I think it’s sad how some people seem to measure the „realness“ of a ship by looking at their on-cam moments and the amount of skinship they have instead of trying to see the whole picture. It irks me how people claim they are „dead“ and „fake“ and „fanservice“ just because they are not interacting excessively on stage. It irks me because these people seem to overlook the fact that Chanyeol and Baekhyun do almost everything together behind the cameras, from gaming until midnight to riding scooters/cars together to singing the same songs and training their bodies together only to reveal them proudly on the same day. They overlook all those insider jokes no one but them understands, ignore how similiar their responses in interviews are, how much Chanyeol’s descriptions of his ideal type suit Baekhyun, no matter how you look at it (Let me summarize: petite, cute, communicates well with him, likes the same music and is lively, preferably a singer so they can make music together … ) , how they are strangely close with similiar people. I could enumerate so many other things but what I am basically trying to say is that no one can convince me that these two are not close and have a relationship that is special and different from their relationships with the other members. I am more or less convinced of this. The only thing I am not sure about is this whole relationship thing (This is what I meant with Twitter influencing me) … I am seriously so confused because they legit act like a couple in my eyes but then things happen (for example the latest issues with Taeyeon, that Hawaii trip, various rumours about C dating girls, Chanyeol kind of distancing himself from the group by always riding home alone in his car and spending most of his time in his studio …) and my faith in them being a couple shatters … It’s not like I would ever stop loving their relationship if these suspicions were ever confirmed. However, I must admit that I would be quite heartbroken if they turned out to be just really close friends  because it’s so hard to imagine that all those loving stares, fleeting touches, sweet gestures and jealous stares did not mean anything after all. You see, this is why I am kind of conflicted right now. I don’t know what to believe anymore, especially since there are so many people outing themselves as insiders and allegedly have contact with sasaengs etc. … There are so many theories floating around and CB themselves are also very confusing at times, making it hard for me to hold on to my beliefs.

 

Anyway, these were just my thoughts so far. I probably haven’t told you anything you didn’t know before but maybe some of you would like to share their opinion as well. Also, sorry for any possible mistakes,  not a native speaker :‘)

[dreamybaek]

I can relate a lot to you. We think so much and feel so much on their relationship --whatever it is-- that we become so convinced that it's more than friendship. Then when something similar to a drought happens and they aren't together or have many interactions we start to overthink and worry that it wasn't really something.

 

It's like an emotional tug-a-war. Back and forth, which eventually leads to the final feeling of not knowing what to think. I'm at this point too. Although I don't ever plan on not shipping these two together. But it seems like the more I do, and there are great points, something happens and it makes me doubt all over again. Kind of like trying to think reasonably and look at them without any biased opinions. It's hard to look at them with a balanced view. On the outside looking in. But then here I am again. Overthinking it all.

You know, as much as I'd like to see Baekyeol date officially the more reasonable side of me knows that it could --no no-- would ruin their careers permanently or for a very long time.

But in any case I'm glad we can enjoy these moments. It is much nicer here. I like the feeling. And it's not swarmed by many or surrounded by negativity.

One last thing. I totally agree about the moments not on stage, behind the scenes more moments. As much as I like the moments on stage I have to remind myself when it doesn't happen too often that it's okay because the more important moments don't happen there. They happen when camera's aren't directly on them, during rehearsal, or behind the scenes, such as the scooter dates, promises of pizza, or dinner.

 

 

I think with the attention lately they are becoming anxious once again, or atleast SM is. They aren't very creative though, or maybe it's on purpose. It seems like SM is getting uncomfortable. Every time Baek and Chan get too comfy with the other's presence or too much skinship/interactions they make it to where they look like they don't think like a couple or try to push their views onto other members.

Take this interview for example with all the boys on EXO NEXT DOOR:

Take notice how they're answers, mostly Q2 and Q3 are almost identical. I may be reading too much into it, but it seemed like they are avoiding any mentions of each other. During this time they have been once again paired closer to the other members in public or on stage. Baekhyun with Sehun, and Chanyeol with Kyungsoo. Whoever is nearest they pair. And in interviews they hardly mention the others name. Why? If you were friends, as close as said, then you'd have no problem mentioning them, or doing skinship and having more interactions right? But if you are forbidden lovers, then your more cautious in anything you might say or do. Not wanting to give others the wrong impression. But why worry if your just friends....

 

Okay. I've done a partial analysis.

I couldn't have worded it better to be honest. The way you have described this "emotional war" is exactly how I feel at times, especially during times when there is a lack of on-cam interactions. It doesn't help that people on Twitter immediately start assuming that they fought/are not on good terms because I cannot help but let it affect my mood sometimes. And just like you, I keep reminding myself that there are plenty of off-cam moments which are much more valuable. Also, as I have stated above already, this thread usually lifts up my mood and I totally agree with you that it's much nicer to discuss here because we are amongst ourselves, meaning that there are no antis/trolls to anger us

 

About that interview: Believe me or not but I had almost exactly the same thoughts as you when I first read it! I wasn't surprised that they did not mention each other because, as @whocares has already pointed out, they never do that. However, I also noticed how similiar their responses were, as if they had talked about this in priavte once and came to a mutual agreement. Something else I found interesting was the way Baekhyun explained why he chose Kyungsoo: He says he likes a gentle and kind,caring person - that's how Kyungsoo's role in END can be characterized. However, this description fits the real Chanyeol as well in my opinion. Baekhyun has said in the past that Chanyeol is a kind person. Besides him, a bunch of other people also always describe him as good-hearted and almost "too kind". I know this is very vague and I might overanalyse stuff but I have always felt like Baekhyun really appreciates it when he is taken care of, when he is protected and this is something that Chanyeol has been doing since debut. I really wonder how Baekhyun would have responded if the description of Chanyeol's and Kyungsoo's characters were switched. Would he have dared to choose Chanyeol or would he have still chosen Kyungsoo and reasoned it differently, I really wonder. Anyway, I agree that the fact they are avoiding mentioning each other is odd. It's like they are trying to be not too obvious but are actually even more obvious by talking about anyone but each other :')

Hi and welcome! i am so glad you decided not to hide anymore, i hope mor epeople do the same in the near future! Also, i appreciate a lot that you took the time to share your thoughts and write it down and thank you for the little mention! i'm super glad it helped in some way as well!

 

Now, first of all, do NOT pay mind to what negative people say! especially on twitter! that's where the craziest, baseless rumours and especulations breed! I've seen it myself plenty of times (also other places like here) so you have to be careful who you follow/interact with and believing what they say and spread it. Twitter is full of 12 year olds who love drama and when they're bored, they love to make up stuff and don't forget that antis also hang there and love to create messes (no hate to bts since i like them and armys but that fandom has been intently trying to create drama in the exo fandom in all ways and immature exo-l's engage in that behaviour too) so please, try to be careful who you follow and what you believe in. "insider info" as some try to make it seem like is just bullshit. Nobody has insider info except sasaengs and korean/chinese fans, they don't share it (really, they don't use twitter to expose anything and just cause you see an account speaking korean and saying things, they are mostly trolling cause they refuse to expose anything to the "i-roaches)) and to get involved or know something you have to have contacts in the k fandom and someone who trusts you enough to share it (I'm saying this because i have a couple of friends who do have some connections (only cause i guess they met in person) and they are always super careful with what they share to my friends and my friends sometimes tell me those things cause they trust/know i won't say anything.. and it sure as hell stays that way cause stuff i've heard is things int fans ever mentioned or know about (i'm not trying to come off as cool like i know things but just an example of how careful and how seriously they take it)) so next time, don't mind them and mostly they just spread rumours (like CY dating.. i know where it originated, i've seen how it got spread and only for baseless assumptions, the kind that has you doubting because other people just assume things. Let me tell you btw, I really don't see anything wrong with all the members doing separate things but on the contrary i'm glad they do. They all pretty much arrive and leave places separately cause i think that if you have to wait on a co-worker or friend to leave when you're ready to go, you'd leave hours laters and i would do the same as them, especially if you just want to go home or eat something, etc. Chanyeol is really intent in making/composing music and has been spending time at his studio doing so (also isn't the studio in the dorms? there are free rooms left) besides him spending his hobby like that (or playing billard with friends, etc. i think we're forgetting the fact that it is vital for humans to spend time alone or doing what you enjoy best, away from your co-workers/friends, think about it, you spend 24/7 living and working together, anyone needs their space and free time away otherwise you'd go insane and even some friction may arise so i'm glad they actually spend it like that cause then it would be unhealthy and chanyeol is pretty independent to begin with. I know him and baek are literally glued together but as any relationship (no matter what kind) you NEED alone time, away from others and doing what you like the most or seeing friends, etc (lol this reminds me of baek saying he enjoyed spending some time laone in his room with aromatic candles and all, such a cutie).

I guess when you hear something so much you end up believing or doubting your beliefs anyway so that's why i think you need to be careful who you follow or interact with. Don't take what others say and end up believing it, you have to trust YOUR own eyes and what your mind and heart tells you. That's what matters and no matter what, don't let anyone fool you into thinking the opposite.

Could we be wrong about our assumptions? sure, absolutely but bare in mind, I always try to think objectively, it's something i started developing for some years now and i always question everything, trust me.. i also try playing the devil's advicate and when it comes to C+B i've done it for a while now and at this point, from all the things you just see and know, the evidence, the proof, everything, there's nothing that can make me change my mind or doubt them at this point. I've questioned everything and nothing, no excuses that others use or anything else makes sense anymore when it comes to them.

Remember first and foremost that the fandom is packed with very young teen people, naturally and organically they lack maturity and common sense usually so you can't go with what you see them doing or saying, besides that, there's a very latent heteronormative implemented in the fandom (this laso comes from older fans too, even some shippers) so as we always say, if Baek was a girl and it was a mix group, EVERYBODY would be claiming they are dating and chanyeol actually did describe his type ALWAYS almost boldly implying baek (and baek did too!) but since baek is a boy, unfortunately they are just best friends who are very close and straight.. so it doesn't matter that people will come up with something out of thin air to justify certain things they say or actions, they will always link it to an heteronormative idea, anything that doesn't lead to them be gay or dating each other (Let alone people thinking for example, that chanyeol can't be gay or like a boy simply by his appearance, eurgh).

So again, don't believe what others say or rumours they try spreading like it's high school, believe what you see and feel, what you know that makes you believe in what you believe in and don't let anyone fool you into thinking otherwise, not even a company deffending their own product/interests.

 

Now, the idea that C+B may be bothered to be shipped together hence why they refrain from being touchy as with the other members has more inconsistancy than water and oil together! As you mentioned, they have never given signs of discomfort when it comes to them being together, also by things they have said, let alone THEIR IG POSTS. The brewer of all their headaches, especially chanyeol, it has never bothered them with all the selfies/moments they have updated of them together (funny cause after baek's "scandal" they happily uploaded many) especially chanyeol, they always received a swarm of comments about Chanbaek is real, etc etc. yet it never bothered them and if they wouldn't say anything then at least they'd have stopped yet they didn't at all. However when chanyeol gets made up rumours about him and is bombed with comments he goes off. So, he doesn't mind when it comes to baek, whose the only one he's uploaded plenty of selfies with yet he gets angry when it's about other people, involving girls.. it's almost as if he's acting protective over something that he feels the need to put down the talk rather than just shrug it off as with other things they all have also shrugged off, so because of that and many other reasons, this point is actually nonesense.

About people saying "chanbaek is dead" cause there "aren't many interactions" or anything, again, they're young! i always see these kind of comments coming from really young people. Also, as you mentioned, they're not observing enough cause they talk as if C+B were always all over each other when that was never the case. The ship was never "dead" for starters cause then was i just tripping or didn't they leave the venue quickly together with baek saying how that night he'd eat pizza and chicken after the concert? or last times how they've been riding on chanyeol's scooter or having dinner dates after midnight, all the interactions we see above and stuff that has been happening constantly.. as i've said once, your otp could be caught making out and one portion of the fandom will claim it was just the angle or just some fraternal comforting all straight best friends do in korea and another portion of people will claim the "ship is dead" 2 days after for no reason (it always baffles me cause people like that exist in all fandoms. I think they get spoilt with a very bold moment so they only enjoy those bold moments and not the rest of the subtle constant ones).. and chanbaek is overall very subtle except us who see it as being super obvious cause we're in on it.. so yeah, again, people on twitter are lame so you should never care for what they say or believe anything that comes from them! (or anyone on the internet)

 

Also as Ninja Kai Nini mentioned above, every single time i read their interviews i never expect them to reply anything like "i'd date *insert each other's names* if i was a girl" except maybe once that they probably mentioned it but they will never say stuff like that, they are super subtle so in our eyes, they're still bold when they leave the venue together or we see them riding on chanyeol's scooter outside SM building where they know fans will see them cause in the past we would never think they would dare yet they do and i feel like that's their way of hinting, cause they don't care to be seen like that, in an intimate situation/setting that's off-stage and it's daily life occurrance knowing what fans think and say about them, it's a big step. So knowing them like that, i wouln't expect them to say anything like that about each other in interviews (unless maybe they woke up that day feeling bold enough for some reason) but yeah, i still think they're kind of unpredictable though cause things we never expected them to do, they've gone and done it randomly without warning. I think both are very random so that reflects on their actions of this kind.

Anyway, sorry if this is too long but i had the need to just, point it all out lol.

 

 

Oh, don’t be sorry! You could write even more than that and I would still read every word of it because, as I have said already, I really admire how confidently you defend your opinion and how you always seem to think logically and objectively. Therefore, thank you for welcoming me in this thread and for taking your time to write such a long reply, I really appreciate it and it means a lot to me! After reading your response, I have come to the conclusion that I spend way too much time on Twitter than I should because, as you have said, it seems to be unavoidable to have doubts on your own beliefs if you keep reading and seeing negative stuff that (seemingly) debunks them. I guess I really needed someone to remind me that I should make my own opinion about ChanBaek's relationship and that anyone can claim to be an "insider" on the internet... Also, it does make sense to me why real insiders, namely Korean/Chinese fans and Sasaengs would most likely keep their information for themselves and that's why I really wonder how random I-fans can even get in touch with them and easily get information out of them ... (Even this fansite masternim, chubbybunny, only vaguely answered people's questions about CB and even deleted some answers she gave right after This just proves how careful they are, as you say) I am starting to doubt it the more I think about it. Honestly, I am actually not one to believe in things blindly either but some accounts on Twitter just love to create drama and the more people believe them, the more I feel like an "outsider" because my thoughts are different and this leads to me getting affected by all the drama they create because they also tend to immediately deem people as "delusional" whenever their opinions differ... Anyway, you are definitely right and I have already made a mental note to myself not to get too affected by those people. The thing about Chanyeol spending time alone was by the way also something that was perceived very negatively on Twitter. Like, there were people who called Chanyeol an "asshole" and "douchebag" because he was allegedly spending the night in his studio although Baek was "waiting for him" to come home and other stuff that now seems very childish to me ... The person who started this also claimed to be able to see Baekhyun's KKT profile and kept saying he was sad because of his status and ugh, nevermind. It was such a mess though and people were so mean to Chanyeol ... And now, after reading your thoughts regarding this matter (which is much more plausible and makes sense), it becomes evident to me that those people were just assuming stuff without any actual evidence. See this is what I meant with this thread pulling me back in haha. Again, thank you very much for your long reply, @whocares

Ugh oh my god! do people seriously pull such claims? i didn't know they were so extreme! i only follow accounts of shippers who "keep it real" and don't indulge into such immature talk like these so i don't find out about it.. but honestly! they act as if C+ B's life is just like a fanfic when it isn't! they have a real private life and relationships in real life are not like in fanfics! i highly doubt baek would be depressed cause chanyeol spends time in his studio let alone put it on a status (mind you, never trust such words or screen caps cause they're super easy to fake, i-fans fake stuff all the time and not just int he exo fandom, should see the 1d fandom.. I could fake anything and i'm just an amateur so don't waste time on it anymore lol).. i also feel so bad that chanyeol got some hate over such stupid, baseless claims. He's a sweetheart! he's always taking care of baek constantly so even if we could consider baek missed him or was down cause he wanted to spend time with him, i bet my everything that chanyeol would drop everything and go to him cause i bet baek would text him or call too.. what even.. i'm sure baek has no problem at all about chanyeol spending time doing things he enjoys in his free time after being glued together most of the day (and again, i'm sure chanyeol's studio is in the dorms in one of the free rooms) so..

Anyway, i'm glad i can be of help, i hope my advice applies to many other things than just chanbaek lol so you're welcome and thank you again for the nice words!

 

And btw, i'd like to bring up what you said in the reply above, that C+B and simmilar responses a lot of the time an dlately i've noticed it too, they're not even trying to hide that. Like i pointed out before in pages back, like when they both talked about being interested in interior design and the future , also when chanyeol mentions he wants to be with someone who he can share the same musical stuff and make music with then baek said something extremely simmilar. It seems to me like at this point they're definitely on the same vibe and how they feel about many thing sincluding the future. It makes me wonder if they somehow planned anything, liek i said, i can imagine them going through an interior design magazine and talking about what they would like for their future place and what not or the future as in, wondering how they could go about it.. idk. They're just so obviously in tune, it's insane how compatible they are and how they just fit together.

They were assuming even more bizarre things, it was seriously so messy. There were even people who were temporarily dropping Chanyeol because of this (and immediately came crawling back to him after he proved how much of a sweetheart he is in reality. So much about being a loyal fan ...) There is one particular account that always spreads such rumours and even though she keeps emphasizing that "it's only a theory", there are a lot of people who immediately deem what she says as a fact because she is allegedly an insider who has contacts to Sasaengs. I just thought it was unfair how Chanyeol received hate because of some stupid rumour when he has proven countless of times how well he looks after Baek and just how much of a nice person he is in general. Sometimes I really pity Chanyeol because he always seems to be the target of baseless, stupid rumours and no matter how often he tries to clarify them, people still find a reason to hate on him.

 

About the other aspect you have mentioned: I so agree with what you they about them being in tune. It becomes evident in the way they answer questions about the future but also in how they just have so many similiar interests/hobbies. I mean, how can this be a coincidence? They both love gaming, exercising together (btw I found it cute how they both decided to show off their bodies during Exordium. It was almost as if they were proudly presenting what they have both achieved together) are both very passionate about music, love watching anime - there is so much more even. Even their personalities are somehow similiar. Both of them seem to have a very positive and optimistic view on life and are lively people. And I think that's exactly why they are so insanely compatible with each other, as you say. Honestly, I cannot picture any of them with someone quiet and reserved, basically the opposite of what they are. It's like these two have just "found" each other haha. And just like you, I can totally imagine them talking about the future together. I mean "interior design" is so specific, it's hard to believe it was a coincidence that both of them mentioned it. Definitely think they talked about it

hello i've been a lover of chanbaek and a follower of this thread for a while and i made this account earlier just so i could post in here but i got too shy :( i'm not even sure i know how to work this site but i figured i might as well let myself be known! so hello!! 

 

i hope we can all cry about chanbaek together! 

 

 

i hope these show up like i said i don't know how to work this site haha

 

Hi! I can totally understand you. As a newbie myself, I still trying to figure out some things as well haha J Unfortunately, I cannot see the the gifs you have posted here on the thread. However, I managed to do so by clicking right and choosing to display them on a seperate tab so it’s alright, thank you for sharing them J

 

I found this moment to be particularly  adorable. Baek was talking about his abs, saying that showing them off more than once would be too much and all and then we have Chanyeol walking over to him and trying to lift his shirt in order to tease him (Typical for ChanBaek - They just love teasing each other). And I just love how Baekhyun immediately smiled sheepishly when he noticed what Chanyeol was trying to do and how he stopped the latter from doing it by clasping the giant’s hand on his stomach (first gif). And after Baek accidently hit his teeth with the mic and Chanyeol realized he was the cause, he held onto Baek’s wrist (and that for a pretty long time!) almost naturally, as if it was his first instinct to go fo Baek’s hand. After that, it was suddenly Baekhyun who had a reason to tease Chanyeol instead by jokingly complaining about how his teeth hurt. He was cutely whining all the time but still had this very sweet smile directed to Chanyeol who could barely contain his laughter. You can see this better if you watch a fancam of this moment - they are so adorable!

 

Also, have you guys noticed that both Chanyeol and Baekhyun seem to have a thing with holding/touching each other’s hands? I might be reading too much into it but I cannot help but notice that they often seem to look for opportunities to hold the other’s hand, even if it’s just for a brief moment. They always do a high five when they pass each other on stage for example and to me, it often seems like they gain some kind of strength from each other while doing that and it’s really sweet. I mean, even if they do not excessively on stage, there is almost always a fanaccount or a fancam of them highfiving each other. It’s like their own silent way of saying „I got your back.“  But the highfives are only one example. Have you paid attention to the way they pass things to each other? Again, I might be overanalysing stuff but they always let their hands brush while doing that. Like, I have noticed this many times: On Roommate, when Yeol grabbed the cake slicer from Baek’s hand, that one time when Baek had a handwarmer and Chanyeol clasped his whole hand in order to get it, during this year’s fanmeet in Japan, when they tried to open a tube of chocolate fondant together, during last year’s concert tour, when Baek took the nunchucks from Yeol’s hands. There are even more examples I could think of. Plus, let’s not forget how they greeted and said goodbye to each other when Baek came to visit Chanyeol on Roommate … I know these small touches seem rather insignificant when I am enumerating them like this but I cannot help but think that CB really cherrish these moments in which they can hold/touch each other’s hands and that these small gestures kind of reflect their feelings  for each other. What are reasons for wanting to hold someone’s hand? There surely is more than one answer. I think holding hands is a strong gesture with various meanings. It could mean that you don’t want to lose that someone, that you are possessive of them, that you want to demonstrate that you belong together, that the person whose hand you are holding is giving you strength … It’s really beautiful, don’t you think? Also, a lot of Chanyeol’s self-composed songs contain „holding hands“, which makes me think that this gesture might indeed mean a lot to him.

Sorry for becoming so mushy toward the end but I couldn’t help but notice :‘)

​Btw, this was Baekhyun when Chanyeol cried during his speech at Exordium in Seoul ;_; Baek immediately reacted when he saw Chanyeol crying and tried to lift his mood by joking with him but after realizing that it did not work, he just stood there, watching him like this the whole time.  I felt like he really, really wanted to go over and comfort Chanyeol but he obviously couldn't. Nevertheless, he still kept an eye on him and even crouched down later so Yeol wouldn't be out of his sight.  This fond/worried expression on Baekhyun's face seriously does things to my heart. I don't think I have to comment on it. This is just pure love in my eyes

They own the same Rolex watches, each with a different design.They are also super expensive by the way lol! Some people assume that they might have bought them together in Barcelona last year since there were pictures of them inside a Rolex store. Others speculate that Baekhyun's watch might be a fan gift. Either way it's cute to see them both wearing the same watch ♡

you know what, the day chanyeol decided to show some fashion sense in airport is also the day he choose to wear couple watch with baekhyun which makes my post about chanyeol's airport fashion even clearer

 

Went back to re-read your post and it's indeed odd how Chanyeol suddenly decided to dress more properly at the airport today after Baekhyun was seen wearing that Rolex watch that matches his ... I really did not expect that. I thought he would show up in one of his large black hoodies again like usual but no, he surprised us! Also, have you guys noticed how Chanyeol seems to never  take that watch off? He is constantly wearing it. It has gotten to a point where people have started joking about it, assuming he is probably even showering with that Rolex on his wrist lol! That must really be his favourite watch ... Oh, and the shirt he wore today:  

 

"May the bridges I burn light the way" - This is probably really far-fetched but I still think it's a cute coincidence (or not?). I mean, "burn" (= fire = Chanyeol) and  "light" (= Baekhyun)

It admittedly hurts to watch this video to be honest... Baekhyun obviously wanted to stand next to Chanyeol. The latter even turned his head towards him and yet proceeded to ignore Baek and playfully grabbed Jongdae's hand instead, leaving Baekhyun no chance but to walk away. I was a bit surprised to see Chanyeol acting this way because this kind of behaviour doesn’t suit him and it makes me wonder if these two indeed had a little fight, which is upsetting but normal nevertheless. I mean, it can happen, thereofe I don't want to dramatise anything. If I didn't see this video, I actually would have thought that they were simply being cautious as usual, especially since they have shown the exact same kind of behaviour on the previous SMTown concerts that were held this year. Honestly, it didn't surprise me at first because they have been really obvious lately and I assumed that they were trying to tone it down a bit in order to not raise more suspicion. However, seeing how today's concert went, I am leaning more towards the idea that they might have really had a little fight. Also, if you look at Baek, you might notice that he was not as energetic as usual. He seemed rather sulky actually. On the other hand, Chanyeol seemed to have a lot of fun at the concert and happily interacted with his sunbaes. I think it's very interesting to see how differently these two deal with such situations. I agree with what @whocares already said about Baekhyun and his pride thoughI did see him making small efforts to approach Chanyeol and it looked like he was waiting for his giant to notice him and initiate some sort of contact like usual but Chanyeol weirdly didn't. Speaking of the latter, I feel like Chanyeol, as usual, was smiling away whatever happened between them (He did after all once say that he would always smile like a fool, no matter how hard things get) while still keeping an eye on Baek (and getting between him and Taemin - someone is being possessive ). I also cannot help but feel like he is the type to get a bit "mean" whenever he is mad at Baek and thus do stuff like what he did above in the video. I bet my everything that he immediately feels bad afterwards though and that he does not really do it intentionally, so no hate towards Yeol. And of course these are only my speculations, so I could be totally wrong. Anyway, I am very curious about tomorrow's airport pictures and hope to see them walking together like the magnets that they usually are! Seeing them like this is really upsetting but also kind of makes them more obvious imo :')

Well, look who seems to have made up - it's Chanyeol and Baekhyun! There were pictures of Chanyeol's phone display and he was apparently playing Pokemon Go (Why am I not surprised? Lol!) with a cute and sleepy Baekhyun watching him. I see, someone is trying to impress his other half with his pokemon trainer skills haha! Joke! But it's really nice to see that they are at least not avoiding each other anymore

 

Also, I agree with everything you both have said. I have a feeling that younger fans have very unrealistic thoughts about couples, thinking they have to cling to each other 24/7 and be all lovey-dovey all the time so naturally, they would get super anxious when things like what we have discussed above happen. But as you both have pointed out already: They are, in the end, real people with real feelings, each having their own flaws so fights are unavoidable. And it is indeed interesting to see this side of them as well and it's endearing how they keep looking for each other even in situations in which they are supposed to be avoiding each other. It only shows just how much they are involved with each other and how much they get affected by the other. And that is weirdly beautiful, isn't it?

 

 

Both of their teaser pictures killed me to be honest! :0 One of Baekhyun's is my phone wallpaper now. No regrets! *_*

Once again, I am amazed by their boldness. I mean, here we were discussing their little "fight" a few days ago and now this. I cannot even count the amount of off-cam moments these two have had in total. I know they had many before but this year, they have been bolder than ever! Meanwhile, the amount of on-cam moments seems to be "decreasing" ... (Well,not really "decreasing" because they always interact, they just keep it subtle. But you know what I mean :') ) I just love how these late night car rides have become "their thing", something just the of them do together. Call me cheesy but I think it has something so romantic haha. I mean, they weren't even the only ones at SM, there were other members as well but they still left alone ... They are so unpredictable and secretive, they do almost everything together. So beautiful ;_; Baek is really living the life to be honest. Where is my own Park Chanyeol?

hi i've been lurking again these days but everything posted above makes my heart skip several beats im :"">

also i know weibo has really weird rumors but i would like to ask your opinion about this

 

 

Click here to view the Tweet

some things would make sense and im just dying here haha

 

I was also dying when I saw people discussing this on Twitter and even though it is a rumour and thus not confirmed after all, I wouln't be surprised if it was actually true because, as you have said, it would make sense. It would explain why they always leave together for example. There is something else that caught my attention and that is the amount of times Chanyeol and Baekhyun were caught individually while shopping for groceries etc. Chanyeol for example was seen buying bread, was seen with bags containing takeout from MCDonald's or just recently, someone spotted him at a local convenience store:

Baek, too, was seen at the supermarket buying stuff and last year, someone encountered him at IKEA (= furniture shopping):

 

Click here to view the Tweet

 

It says here that he was probably buying a cabinet for his room at the dorm (since he wasn't sleeping in the living-room anymore) but at this point, who knows? These are only my speculations though therefore these incidents could be totally unrelated to the rumour of them sharing an apartment. However, there are other aspects that make me think that it could be true. As @whocares has mentioned already, living together is a big deal and an indication that you are serious with someone and planning a future with them (I am crying at this thought ;_;) And Baek as well as Chanyeol both mention the future a lot in interviews and seem to be quite concerned with it. Furthermore, these two have been working extra hard this year and it makes me wonder if they are "preparing" for an uncertain future, you know. Baek has alwas expressed his wish to be an all-round entertainer and recently, he is excelling at almost everything he does (singing, dancing, acting, his looks aka. his body and abs). It's like he is establishing himself a name in many fields of the industry. And Chanyeol is so focused on making music. He is constantly writing and producing songs, sharing them with fans to see if they like them. I can totally picture him being a a producer after retiring from being an idol to be honest. Again, I know I could be totally wrong but they just give me these domestic vibes of a successful couple trying to establish a future together. Oh God, the feels ;_; Sorry for this long post!

[dreamybaek]

It just came to me that before knowing the existence of this rumor, I was entertaining the possibility of chanbaek's rides being rides to the gym because they do work out together. But after EXO'rdium, specifically the second day when there is still a concert the next day and yet they went off on Yeol's car, I thought, what the hell, they really don't need to go to the gym tonight?

 

One can argue that they may be working out last minute to show off their abs but...They just recently had that very recent car ride. It's post-6 day concert and they are promoting so I don't think its necessary...? Also it doesn't answer the fact that it's only been Baekhyun who went home with Chanyeol. Sure we saw Suho but it seems more like Cy fetching him and quickly dropping him off because he was on the way (?) We've only seen the consistency with Chanbaek. There is this fanacc as well:

 

 

They're so consistent with this I'm just ;;; Sorry if my analyses are basically nonexistent but I'm just not eloquent enough to come up with lengthy and well-explained paragraphs that would explain my points. What I want to say though is that as a shipper (I also only ship baekyeol this way) I always try to find holes in my reasoning. I always try to negate the possibility so the blow won't be as bad if it turns out not true in the near future. There are just times like this particular issue where I can't...think of anything to erase the connections I've made and seen with the points that are shown to us.

 

With the weibo rumor I feel like it connected the dots suddenly and it all made sense, to me at least.

 

Sigh, I love chanbaek so much.

 

 

 

Today there was also this thing about Baekhyun wearing a polo in the airport that was very similar to what Chanyeol wore on the MV during his scene with the girl and the ending. Everyone was talking about it and then CY posted a video of his acting clips for his parts and it includes the scene where the polo was shown clearly. (I do think it's a very timely coincidence but that doesn't mean this isn't cute)

 

So basically many were spazzing and joking about it and then Kasper, who just very recently posted a selca with Baekhyun, commented about cy's acting. (Is it weird or I'm finding connections with the people chanbaek are around, too? Yesung, and now kasper) CY aegyeoed in his reply and it was adorable.

 

As if the goldmine of what seems to be a very fateful little string of events wasn't enough, Baekhyun actually commented on that post.

 

 

 

It's so weirdly interesting ahaha I might be thinking too much. This post is so disoriented but I'm getting very sleepy and want to get this out of my chest somewhere!

I can totally understand your struggle! As a shipper, it can be hard to ignore your feels and your wish to accept some things as "true" without questioning it further because we want it to be true so desperately. However, I think it's actually great (and necessary) to try and look at everything objectively, which also includes "debunking" some theories/assumptions instead of immediately accepting them, even if it ends up disappointing us. Therefore, I think it's good that you have this way of thinking and that you also consider other possibilities regarding CB riding off together alone. Speaking of that, I actually had similiar thoughts like you. My guess was, however, that they would probably go to Chanyeol's studio (I still don't know where the latter is located at) in order to have some private time, you know, just relaxing, talking and maybe eating and stuff like that. But now that the idea of an apartment was brought up, I am also shocked at how many dots this simple "information" could connect if it was true. Like, it makes sense on so many levels that it's hard to think of arguments against it. Oh and I absolutely agree with what you say about Chanyeol picking up other members with his car. I mean, people immediately argue with this whenever CB shippers express their joy over Baek being the only one to ride Yeol's car. It's always: "But he let Suho/Sehun ride it, too!" Yes, he did but that was once/twice while with Baek, he does it constantly. We don't base our assumptions on one single moment, we always try and look at the whole picture and that is what many "antis" (I feel childish for using this word) sadly seem to not understand. There is this pattern, this consistency in their little interactions and to be honest, everyone not noticing this at this point simply doesn't want to notice it in my opinion.

 

Oh by the way, that polo Baek wore at the airport and Chanyeol in the MV ... Doesn't this support @Cherrysé's theory about Chanyeol not minding couply looks with Baek while purposely wearing plain black hoodies etc. in order not to be linked to some female idols like in the past? It's really interesting! And that Kasper-Chanyeol interaction, lol! I think it's hilarious how Baek just had to butt in and get involved after Chanyeol was acting all cute. I think it's adorable how they seem to get along with the same people - just shows again how similiar they are since they both seem to like the same kind of people

[dreamybaek]

I forgot to finish my comment. About the fact that Baekhyun was decorating for his room, the v app one only to show about why Baek was shopping at ikea in October. And then stating he did so in December. BUT considering it a fact that it's been over half of a year since that time, placing us in August, a lot could have happened since then, and I believe a lot HAS happened since then, seeing how we have so many beautiful moments between these two.

 

One thing about any relationship, be it romantic, purely platonic, or just a simple friendship is that when those two people face hard times yet they work through it, get through it together, it brings them that much closer. These two have been by each others sides through so many struggling times. So just by theory that these two are together, if they know that they can make it through those things and still be going strong then wouldn't they start moving (literally for this theory) up to another level, such as getting a place to call home together? You just never know.

I have quoted this part of your post but I am also refering to the previous one in which you have mentioned that V-app broadcast with Baekhyun, Chanyeol and Suho. Thanks for pointing it out by the way! (I am still in awe at how observant you guys are and how well you remember certain things :0 ) Now it makes sense to me why Baek went to IKEA that time. I definitely think that a lot has happened since then because their moments are getting more and more intense (intense as in "fishy" / "obvious") and this year, they have gone all out with their scooter / car rides. It's like they are becoming stronger and stronger with every year and I personally see the beginning of their current relationship after Baekhyun's scandal. I mean, I know a lot of people miss MAMA-ChanBaek because they were apparantly more touchy and clingy during that time but I honestly believe that their moments have started to get intense after the scandal even though there might have been feelings involved even before that but it seemed more "messy" to me then compared to now. I felt a lot of insecurity and hesitation especially from Baek's side but right now, it's like they both have grown up and know exactly what they want and where they stand in life, which has influenced their relationship positively. The scandal (and actually everything that happened in 2014 which wasn’t a good year for them) has changed them and brought them closer imo. Baekhyun seemed to have a really hard time back then, getting a lot of hate etc. And it is in such times when you need someone who knows you and understands you and that person was Chanyeol in my eyes. Ironically, it was the "worst time" for Baekhyun, Exo and CB shippers during which everything started to fall into place and walls started to crumble, resulting in the adorable relationship they have now - that's what I feel. And I totally agree with you that, under such circumstances, you would naturally want to take it to another level with that person you went through so much with - including living together! That's why it is not so hard that that rumour might be true and even if they don't live there permanently, they still might frequently go there to have some private time. And if we assume that the really are together, it makes s lot of sense

[dreamybaek]

btw, here's a video of mama park!

She seems so sweet no wonder chanyeol is sweet too. Also, she does the i love you handsign too.. but it could be a refference to monster most likely lol. Anyway, do you guys think she might know? i think she does and seems super supportive cause she has chanbaek fanarts and cute things of them together all over viva polo, she engages in CB talk with shippers (some even openly talk to her about it) and she loves to talk with them, she also talks about baek as if he was another son of her's, she adores him

I agree, Mama Park seems to be a very sweet and supportive mum! I have also read a lot of fanaccounts about fans going to her restaurant and talking to her about ChanBaek and she is indeed quite open while talking about it, I mean it doesn’t seem to bother her at all. The topic about their parents knowing what's betweem them is something I am also very curious about to be honest ... I feel like if any of them knows, it might really be Chanyeol's mum because she just comes off as pretty cool and laid-back and therefore more open-minded. We don't know that much about her though so it's really hard to say, even harder when it comes to Baek's parents whom we don't know at all though I can imagine that they might be a bit more conservative/traditional. Only mere speculations though :')

 

Edit: Have some fond!Baek staring at Chanyeol practising his dance moves. So whipped!

GUYS! Look at how cute they were today, I am crying! That caption though, I cannot help but agree with this person. It's not even anything new. I mean, there are tons of fanaccounts reporting about sweet off-cam moments like these between ChanBaek but as soon as the camera turns on, you see them trying hard to avoid each other in order to not draw any attention. It's almost like they are trying to seperate work (aka. when the camera is on) from their "freetime" (aka. breaks or just time for themselves) and it makes them seem so professional and mature. I live for these endearing off-cam moments to be honest! They make me feel so many emotions ♡ By the way, let me say a few things about Baekhyun because he is so ... affectionate lately, have you guys noticed? I know we all agree that he can be clingy but lately, this clinginess has turned to something more even. It is like he is constantly looking out for Chanyeol, seeming concerned/worried whenever something is hurting him, looks at Chanyeol with that very distinct fond expression on his face, comments Chanyeol's posts, butts into his conversations with other people, does cute stuff in order to get his attention (like blowing on his neck and smiling sheepishly afterwards) ... He is so focused on Chanyeol these days, I just cannot help but notice. Sure, he is a little flirt who likes to be taken care of (especially by tall and/or elder men, as @whocares has pointed out) but when it comes to Chanyeol, it's like he not only wants to be taken care of but also wants to take care of him, make sure he is alright and smiling. I don't know but these are just things that his actions tell me ... Look at that Bowling broadcast where he was all over Chanyeol for example: "Let Chanyeol rest." , "Are you alright, Chanyeol?" , "Don't drink milk, Chanyeol. Drink water instead!" Or when they were trying out that electro shock thing, he immediately ran over to put his hand on Chanyeol's neck with that freaking concerned look on his face that screamed "You will get hurt, be careful!", the way he put his hand around Chanyeol's shoulder when he was exhausted from doing all the dares ... When Chanyeol was crying during Exordium and he tried to make him laugh, gazing at him with that fond expression again ... and now today at Music Bank, massaging Chanyeol's waist ... This is too much, guys. This makes me emotional. Some people say they think Chanyeol is the "obvious" one and that his affection is one-sided but I have honestly always felt like Baek was way more obvious, even back then when he was still a little more hesitant. I have a really hard time "reading" Chanyeol but with Baek, he is someone who doesn’t mask his feelings, it just shows immediately (something I love about him btw, he is so natural!). He is, no doubt, very caring and affectionate towards all his members which is very heart-warming. But when it comes to Chanyeol, there is just something more, something deeper ... I feel like he cannot stand seeing Chanyeol hurt. Usually, Chanyeol is known for being the extra caring one (he still is!) but these days, it's like Baek wants to protect and help him as well, it's so beautiful... Sorry for this emotional outburst, I felt overwhelmed for a moment lol!

[dreamybaek]

So, @fareastmovement on IG liked this Chanbaek video from a chanbaek shipper account

 

 

 

And they're like producers from a label if i'm not mistaken, who have been working/hanging with chanyeol a lot

 

 

 

Why would they? wonder if they know something from hanging a lot with him.. jeez

Okay this really surprised me at first and I tried to think of all possible reasons for them to like this post. I assumed they might have liked it by accident but when I went and checked, the like was still there so they did not "unlike" it as one normally would after accidently liking something. Then I thought, okay, they might really see it as a cute friendship thingy since I agree with the user above me that, if they really knew something, they wouldn't do this since it would be too obvious. Perhaps they have really met Baek though. After all, they were working at SM's studio together and a meeting wouldn't be that unlikely. And if not in person, I am sure Chanyeol has talked about his members. But now, look at this:

I mean, they might have overlooked the caption under the picture but ... it is very unlikely, is it? (Because the picture wouldn't make sense without the caption) Perhaps this was their way of showing support for gay couples in general and the "chanbaek" tag was there coincidently and they were actually browsing the "chanyeol" tag but the fact that they liked two CB related posts is really ... I don’t know.

He went there the together with everyone else, making Kai, Kyungsoo, Lay and Chen the only members who are still in Korea (or China in Lay's case).

 

I was very happy to see Chanyeol and Baekhyun sticking together at the airport and even during the trip as they were spotted at a Rolex store together (which by the way makes it even more obvious that they both have a thing for those watches and indeed may have bought their matching ones together - cute!) Still, I cannot help but agree with you when you say that this trip is not really meant to be a vacation for their artists. It has been what, two days and we already have baseless rumours, complaints about loud parties and drunk staff members, fans invading idols' privacy and injuries (There are pictures of Chanyeol getting brought to the hospital because he hurt his arm ...). To sum it up, the trip seems to be a mess and it's all SM's doing in my opinion. If this was really meant to be a vacation for their artists and staff members during which they can relax and have a well-deserved break, they wouldn't have announced this trip so loudly weeks ago with details on their location etc. I mean this is practically an invitation for media outlets, sasaengs and fansites to come and stalk them, releasing a few pics and videos here and there to divert attention to their company, as @whocares has said. And just today, I saw something about "SM Workshop", so they are definitely there to work and it would make sense why they would want fans to lowkey promote them so that people would anticipate... Just my thoughts though. I just wish the boys could actually rest for once, like when they were in Fiji last year, do you remember? I know they had work to do there as well but that trip still seemed way more private and enjoyable for the members and we got most updates from the members themselves (especially Baek who posted a lot of pics on his instagram during that time. What a sweetheart ♡). Anyway, I just hope the rest of this Hawaii trip will be peaceful and drama-free - especially for our duo.

 

 

About that EXO member allegedly bringing his bf along ... It sounds to me like they were talking about a "boyfriend" who is not an idol and / or not part SM so they had to hide him do naturally, it cannot be CB because they don't have to hide each other lol. I am very sceptical about this rumour though, almost as much as about that Sehun/Irene thing which sounds pretty baseless as well. I think people just want to create drama :')

 

[dreamybaek]

I found a clearer video (thankfully) and nope, they weren't snuggling as we suspected (mhm it did seem too good to be true) and there were more than a couple of fans filming/taking photos across from where they were all sitting so of course no privacy (fu sm )

https://instagram.com/p/BJue8YLjwWb/

you can see chanyeol reached out to take baek's towel and then they were standing around doing who knows what but i think they were sitting together, anyway.. even if it was very short, you can still see cute and domestic cb as always

I knew snuggling in public would be too good to be true as you say haha. I am glad that a video with a better quality exists though and the fact that they are sitting together again and being domestic is still a reason for us to be happy! Some fans say they can see Chanyeol wiping something off of Baek's face with the towel but I am not sure. Others say that Sehun is also there with them and to me, it looks like he is telling Baek something while wrapping his arm around him and Chanyeol is leaning closer to Baek so he can hear what they are talking about. Ah but these details don't even matter, they are sitting together and that is wonderful

 

And surprise, our duo was spotted again! OP said that Baek was out shopping and met up with Chanyeol after that and they walked away together. Here are some pictures:

They are really sticking together the whole time, they do everything together, it's so cute! ChanBaek is inseperable T.T Chanyeol's arm though, poor giant :( Hope it's not too serious.

 

 

In the pictures, you can see three other people CB met on their way to who knows where. They say the girl with the cap was a random person asking for pictures. The man in the red head is Heechul and now comes the big surprise: They say the other girl with the blue blouse coming from the right is actually Taeyeon! I am not familiar with all SM artists but I heard that Heechul and her were pretty close, is that correct? If yes, she may have hung out with him and they coincidently met CB on the way. However, she didn't seem to have talked to them and just passed by ... okay, lol! OP wasn’t sure though and said that if they did talk, it was really brief. The wittness wasn't even sure they were really Heechul and Taeyeon because he/she said she was new to Kpop. Does look like them though and fans who saw this did not deny. So weird and awkward... haha!

 

 

Edit: I feel so conflicted though. On the one hand, I feel glad that we have some pictures of them hanging out together but on the other hand, I feel bad for them getting followed. I just want them to enjoy themselves without getting annoyed by people ...

 

This here is just a bonus and not related to Hawaii. Have some smitten Chanyeol looking up at Baek:

byunbaek can drive, but he still need chanyeol to drive him everywhere in korea..

Baek is not driving the car This video shows him and Xiumin entering the car and sitting on the backseat:

 

Click here to view the Tweet

 

Also, a fellow Exo-L from the US said that you cannot rent a car there unless you have a valid driver's license.

 

Therefore, Baek still relies on Chanyeol who will drive him anywhere he wants to haha

[dreamybaek]

Also, in the video, it's shown that Baek was on the right side of the car. Only a handful of countries drive on the right, the US isn't one of them. It just looks like he's driving because of the orientation of his hands. So, it looks like Baek still doesn't know how to drive, which means Chanyeol still gets to drive him everywhere.

So EXO had a Pepero fansign today and Baekhyun said this:

 

Click here to view the Tweet

 

He said it was indeed him who drove! But how is it possible? I mean they entered the backseat and Baek, as you said, sat on the right side o.O Okay, now I am confused haha! But either way, he seems to prefer it when Chanyeol is the one driving him. Little prince indeed :D

[dreamybaek]

A fan account mentioned how C+B were acting a bit strange when they were out shopping, said they shopped quickly and took the stairs and then an elevator quickly as well.. of course they'll be acting strange when you have people stalking you, that's super uncomfortable! (Still, props to the love birds for finally having the courage to go out on their own and spend time in public together, alone while the others were at the beach.. i feel like this is also them testing themselves in a way? like, it's something you have to deal with and i think that it can take a toll on you if you try to tip toe around it all the time so i think it has to do with them going with the flow and how they settle with everything i guess)

I am not very surprised about their behaviour, either. I mean, it's only natural for them to be that way when fans are following them around, as you said. I am glad they still managed to spend some time together and do normal stuff like shopping and eating - things they would probably never do in broad daylight in Korea. I don’t think that them having these constant overseas dates is a coincidence. They must feel somewhat safer in other countries because if anyone would follow them there, it would probably only be a handful of fans whereas almost everyone would recognize and bother them in their home-country. They both, although they are getting bolder and bolder, still seem to be very private and careful when it comes to their relationship. Like, they probably don't care about getting seen as you once said but other than that, they always try to avoid being the center of attention and that alone is very suspicious. Look at their instagram accounts for example. Baekhyun and Chanyeol were together all the time during their Hawaii trip and yet they did not post a single picture of them together. Instead, Baek uploaded some with Xiumin while Chanyeol posted some pics of himself and the sky/beach (that boy really loves the sky ...) There is such a noticeable difference between how they behave on-cam and how they behave off-cam and it's just... too big to ignore in my opinion. I could be wrong of course but to me, it's like the more they try to be less obvious the more obvious they get. But that is something only people like us, meaning people who observe them, really notice and sometimes I think they know that. Like, I have a feeling that they know some fans have already noticed that there is something going on (and I don't mean people who ship them just because they look cute together) but as long as the general public stays oblivious and still believes that these two are just fanservice/not close/bros etc., they are okay with it. They must also know that if any fan who cares about them ever saw something, well ... let't say "balatantly obvious", they would keep it to themselves (which is something I believe some fansites do). Sorry, I went a bit off-topic :')

I am always amazed at how strong Baekhyun's effect is on people - especially older/taller guys! I mean, those actors all come off as pretty straight to me - though I must say I don't know them enough to be able to make any assumptions - and yet Baekhyun manages to charm them all with his adorable self! I don't even think he does it intentionally most of the time though it's evident that he likes being taken care of because it is just what he is used to from his family, friends (and Chanyeol ;D lol). He is just naturally cute in my opinion. He makes people want to protect him at all costs and be extra kind to him. Plus, he has these puppy features and rather small stature, which is a bonus. Even many of his female fans (including myself) feel protective of him though for them, his mannerisms and visuals  aren't the only reasons why, they definitely play a big role. Also, if people who have known Baek for a short while are able to immediately fall for his charms, imagine how Chanyeol, who has known him for much longer, could think about him. I can really see Yeol having a weakness for cute things/people and since Baek is naturally a cutie, it is not hard to imagine the giant dying everytime he does something adorable haha!

 

 

Have some new pictues ^.^

 

 

They were really glued to each other during that trip

How can two people look so good just standing next to each other?  Plus, that adorable height difference! I wish this could become their new official standing position. I mean, since Kyungsoo and Baek are about the same height, it shouldn't be a problem, should it?
