"God. You are making me so worried, do you know that?!" Chanyeol shook Baekhyun's body while yelling at the latter. He didn't mean to scolding the nurse in public. He was just really afraid to death after hearing the hospital, where Baekhyun works, was on fire. 

 

 

"Chanyeol, chill! It's not like the whole hospital was on fire. It was just a small storage on the backyard, way too far from the building, heh." Baekhyun chuckled.

 

 

"But still! How if the fire runs to your building?!"

 

 

"Oh come on, Chanyeol.  We are talking about the biggest hospital in Seoul. And who called the fire department, though? We sure we could handle this small fire without firefighters." 

 

 

"One of the patient." Chanyeol said before turning to the hospital's head doctor who just called his name. "Ah, Mr. Han. It's nice to meet you." He greeted the old man, glancing shortly to Baekhyun who excused himself. Both Chanyeol and Mr. Han were having a small conversation, Mr. Han thanked the captain even though they really didn't have to bring 3 fire trucks to the hospital. Chanyeol was just too worry, not only because of Baekhyun but also all the patients in there. "It's nothing, sir. It was kinda useless too, to be honest. We came right after the fire was being handled by your securities and stuffs." Chanyeol grinned. They talked a bit longer before Chanyeol excused himself and his team to go back to their department.

 

 

Before he got into the fire truck, he looked around to find Baekhyun. The receptionist lady told him that Baekhyun was on the second floor where all kids were placed in there. The kids that had a variety of diseases. He jogged to the second floor, didn't bother to wait for the elevator. Once he reached the second floor, and looking for Baekhyun from one room to another one, he finally found him. There he was, sitting on the edge of the bed with a little girl leaning on him, Baekhyun was playing with her hair while talking about something that Chanyeol couldn't hear from outside the room. The view was beautiful, Baekhyun was beautiful, the way his lips cracking into a gentle smile was beautiful, the way his eyes shining and showing sincerity was beautiful. Everything about Baekhyun was beautiful and Chanyeol couldn't help but falling deeper to the nurse.

 

 

The intent stare made Baekhyun looked up and caught Chanyeol red handed staring at him. Baekhyun smiled at him before whispering something to the little girl, making the girl looked at Chanyeol and then back to him, grinning at Baekhyun while telling something that making the nurse blushed. Baekhyun ruffled the girl's hair and went out to meet Chanyeol, he closed the door behind him. "Hey, why are you still here?" Baekhyun asked, dragged Chanyeol to the emergency exit just so they could have a private talk.

 

 

"I missed you." Chanyeol was about to hug the nurse but got pushed away slightly.

 

 

"Corny. We just met a few minutes ago, captain. And i'm sure you should go now because your team surely waiting for you."

 

 

Chanyeol chuckled. "Okay okay, uh, will you come to my place tonight?"

 

 

"You don't have a night shift?"

 

 

"Nope. Thanks god there's no big fire today."

 

 

"Well, okay." Once Baekhyun agreed, Chanyeol had the urge to jump around to show his happiness but of course he wasn't that childish. He was excited, indeed. Always.

 

 

"When will your shift ends? I will pick you up."

 

 

"Around 11 i guess. But if you are still in the department then i will take a bus, it's okay."

 

 

"How many times do i have to tell you that you better take a cab than a bus. It's dangerous!"

 

 

"We are over this topic, Yeol. And we were agreed, cab is way dangerous than a bus. And i'm not a kid! I can take care of myself!" Baekhyun hated this topic, he hated it when Chanyeol was way to worried over him. Chanyeol was too possessive somehow. It was cute at first, but lately it was become more annoying and the fact that they weren't a couple made Baekhyun annoyed even more. Baekhyun saw Chanyeol sighing, he knew he won this time. Chanyeol just hated it when Baekhyun ride a bus in the middle of the night. He remembered the first time he talked to Baekhyun. 

 

 

They already knew each other since they often worked together, Baekhyun was the nurse in fire incidents, but having a conversation outside their work time was never crossed their mind. That night Chanyeol went outside to get himself and his team some foods, he saw the familiar guy with a nurse uniform walking down the street in the dim light. The nurse was walking way too fast that makes Chanyeol raised his eyebrows at the weird action. Chanyeol was about to call the nurse when two males caught his attention, they were running. Running in the drunken state, Chanyeol could tell it. And he widened his eyes as the scene clicked in his head, the drunk males running after the tiny nurse. When one of the males grabbed Baekhyun's arm, that was when the alarm inside Chanyeol's head ring loudly. He ran to those three males and kicked the male who tried to drag Baekhyun. It took for him about 15 minutes to knock the drunk males down. Baekhyun was there, standing stiffly looking at the males on the ground. And that was also the first time Chanyeol walked him back home.

 

 

"I just don't want the worst happen, Baekhyun."

 

 

"I will be okay. I'm not that weak like i was back then. I'm strong now." He grinned softly, his hard features softened once he saw the guilt and concern showing on the captain's face. "Go back to your department. Your team waiting for you."

 

 

"But-"

 

 

"And the kids keep asking about you." Baekhyun chuckled. The kids kept asking him who was Park Chanyeol to him and why he blushing everytime they asked about Park Chanyeol. Kids these days, Baekhyun shook his head at the thought.

 

 

"Just tell them i'm your knight in shining armor like in the fairy tale stories you often tell them." Chanyeol grinned, earning a smack on the arm by the nurse. "Ow! That hurts. You should kiss it!" Chanyeol pouted in such a not so cute way.

 

 

"Seriously?"

 

 

"What? You always did it to the kids. Did you having fun sharing your kisses to all kids in here, hm?"

 

 

"Chanyeol, go home. You are drunk." Baekhyun laughed and was about to get inside the hospital's hallway but Chanyeol quickly grabbed his arm gently.

 

 

"I need to talk something with you, come to my place tonight and i will pick you up. Text me when your shift is over, okay?" Baekhyun nodded, the seriousness on Chanyeol's voice forced Baekhyun to say yes. He wished nothing's bad gonna happen to Chanyeol and to their 'relationship'.

 

 

 

 

 

🔥🔥🔥 

 

 

 

 

The firemen arrived at their department, once they hopped off from the trucks, they were welcomed by Police Kim. He stood beside his car, leaning his side onto the door.

 

 

"Mr. Kim?"

 

 

"Chanyeol." Jongin greeted back. They walked into the department and Chanyeol told Jongin to go to his office and wait him there while he take off his thick fireman's uniform. It was less than 10 minutes when Chanyeol entered his own office, seeing Jongin had already made himself comfortable on the couch inside the room. "Chanyeol, we need to talk."

 

 

"About that boy?"

 

 

"Yeah. So? Can he stay at your place for a while? He needs to-"

 

 

"I haven't decided yet, Kim. I need to ask my friend first." He told the police without looking at him, as if he was too shy to tell the truth about this friend of his. 

 

 

"Is it Baekhyun?" Chanyeol choked. "Oh come on, Park. That little fella is way too kind to let this boy sleep in our office. I'm sure Baekhyun won't mind." Chanyeol couldn't hear him fully as he kept thinking, how the Jongin knew about him and Baekhyun. Must be one of his team's members. He sighed.

 

 

"Only a few days, right?" Jongin nodded firmly as an answer. "Well," Chanyeol rubbed his nape, still doubting this whole condition. "Uh yeah i guess?"

 

 

"Finally! I knew you will say yes! Thankyou so much, Park. I owe you! He is in my car, by the way. Let's get him!" Chanyeol widened his eyes, he didn't know that Jongin already brought the boy to this department as if Jongin knew he would say yes or rather Jongin would force him to say yes.

 

 

They went to the parking area where Jongin parked his car. "Seriously, Kim? You left that boy in your car alone? In this dark parking lot?"

 

 

"This is department fire after all, this place is safe and actually, that boy was the one who didn't want to get inside this building." He unlocked the door to see the boy was sleeping soundly on the back passenger seat. Chanyeol was about to scold the police again but the police cut him off as if he could read Chanyeol's mind. "Don't worry, i rolled down the windows slightly. He won't faint in here." He pointed at the window and it was indeed rolled down a little. Jongin began to shake the boy gently to wake him up, lucky for them the boy wasn't a hard sleeper. It looked like the boy only closed his eyes and would wake up because of a soft movement. "Hey, um. . remember this guy? The fireman who-"

 

 

"Yeah." The boy answered, making the two males coughed awkwardly.

 

 

"Well, you will sleep in his house for a short moment until we found your family and-"

 

 

"They will not showing up." The boy cut off once again, he hopped out of the car and walked to get inside the building without waiting for the two older males. 

 

 

Jongin sighed and got a pat on the shoulder by the captain. "He is tough." Chanyeol teased.

 

 

Jongin grinned back to him and patted the captain's arm. "Well, i'm sure you will have some tough days with that boy." He teased back, making Chanyeol's grin flattered. Jongin was right, he would deal with that boy for days. That expressionless and quiet boy. Chanyeol didn't worry about himself actually, he was worried about Baekhyun. How if Baekhyun doesn't like that boy and choose to not coming over until that boy is gone? He inwardly groaned, he needed Baekhyun in his house no matter what. 

 

 

Jongin got inside his car and bid a last goodbye to Chanyeol before driving off. And Chanyeol suddenly doubting his decision. He should have talked about this to Baekhyun first. Talking about Baekhyun he mentally slapped his head. He had to pick up Baekhyun in his hospital but that boy was there with him. He groaned, that was the first time he wished he have a car. 

 

 

Chanyeol didn't want Baekhyun to take a bus nor cab and he also definitely couldn't let that boy walking by himself to his house which he never ever went to the captain's house before. He quickly walked to his office to make a phone call, as he was about to turn to the left of the lobby, he saw a glimpse of that boy sitting on one of the benches on the lobby. He was there, looking at the ground. "Hey." Chanyeol shouted, gaining the boy's attention to him. "Come here! Let me treat you orange juice." Chanyeol waved his hand as the cue for the boy to come, he saw the boy rolled his eyes as he walked towards him. 

 

 

Once the boy was close enough, he leaded the boy up to his office. The office was kinda in a mess actually, but that was the most decent room out of all the rooms in that department. It wasn't a public place, though. They had no time to clean their own rooms unless it was when there was a school trip, visiting their department. And those cleaning services were only cleaning the hallways or lobby. 

 

 

"You can sit in there." Chanyeol pointed at the couch with some fluffy pillows on top of it. The boy raised his eyebrows. "I know it's messy but it wasn't smell bad, i swear." At this explanation, the boy walked to the couch and tried to make himself comfortable. The face that the boy made couldn't be read, it was really expressionless. Nor happy, nor sad, nor disgusting, just plain. "Oh right! Orange juice, wait here!" Chanyeol said and quickly went outside to buy a can of orange juice from a drink machine. Not wasting his time, Chanyeol walked back and put the can on the coffee table in front of the boy. He didn't wait for the boy to say thankyou, since he knew the boy would just shut his mouth tight. Not like he mind, though.

 

 

He grabbed the phone and began to press the numbers, took him 3 beeps for someone to answer "Hello?" Chanyeol said. "Ah yes, this is Park Chanyeol. Can i talk to Byun Baekhyun? It's an urgent." Chanyeol smiled as he heard the receptionist lady told him that it was a perfect time to call Baekhyun because the nurse was currently free. He waited for some minutes and glanced to the boy who sipped his orange juice. "Baekhyun!" Chanyeol greeted, way too excited once Baekhyun pick up the phone. Chanyeol paused for a short moment as he listening to the nurse's soft laugh. It was heart warming. "Baek, i have something to tell you."

 

"Uh, what's that? Is there something wrong, Yeol?" The voice was different, the seriousness was all over the voice. Chanyeol glanced once again to the boy before went outside his office room, he didn't want the boy to hear him.

 

 

"First, i'm sorry. I really am, Baekhyun."

 

 

"Chanyeol, seriously what's wrong?"

 

 

"There's this kid, a boy. Mr. Kim, that young police, he asked me to let this boy stay in our house." He waited for a bit to hear the reaction but he got nothing, maybe Baekhyun didn't like the idea. "Uh, Baek?" Chanyeol heard a chuckle.

 

 

"Chanyeol, that is your house, not ours. And you shouldn't be this dramatic to be very honest, captain." Baekhyun teased. "That is your house, you shouldn't be sorry to bring someone to your house."

 

 

"But you are a part of my house. I mean, you are also the owner of my house." He heard Baekhyun coughing. "Well, uh yeah. So i need to ask your permission first but Mr. Kim already brought this boy to my department, i couldn't refuse. I'm sorry."

 

 

"Chanyeol, stop saying sorry, really. You are being too much. I won't mind at all."

 

 

"Really?"

 

 

"Yes, Chanyeol!"

 

 

"Uh, also, will you wait for me a bit longer to pick you up? I need to take this boy to my house first before i take you. Three of us can't ride my motorcycle in the same time, right?" Chanyeol laughed, imagining how if three of them really ride his motorcycle together. It must be tight.

 

 

"I told you i can ride a bus or like you said, a cab. Don't you wo-"

 

 

"No. If i said no then no, Baekhyun. I'm sorry, i won't listen to you about this. It's dangerous, you don't know what will happen."

 

 

"Ugh, okay okay. I will wait for you. But don't use high speed when you come here. I will wait for you no matter how long it is. Just stay safe, okay?"

 

 

"Okay, sweetheart." Chanyeol teased and he hated it when he only could hear Baekhyun's voice, not seeing the latter's face, because he was sure Baekhyun was blushing right in that moment.

 

 

 

 

 

🔥🔥🔥

 

 

 

 

 

"I don't know if the helmet fit you or a bit bigger, though." Chanyeol handed Baekhyun's helmet to the boy. He saw the boy put it on his head and surprisingly the helmet was fit enough. He wondered, it was Baekhyun's face that small or that boy's head was big? "Ah, what is your name again, boy?" He asked, turning on the engine.

 

 

 

"Kyungsoo. Do Kyungsoo."

 

 

"Ah right, Kyungsoo. Come on, hop on. Take a hold on me." Chanyeol waited for the boy to hold him but nothing was coming, he shrugged and drove off to his house, reminding himself to take it slow since the boy didn't hold him, he didn't want the boy to fall.

 

 

 

They arrived right in front of Chanyeol's small gate. They hopped off from the black sport motorcycle. "Is it okay if i leave you for a bit?" Chanyeol said, unlocking the door and the lights inside his house, welcoming the boy who scanned the whole house.

 

 

"Where are you going?"

 

 

"Need to pick up my, um friend." Kyungsoo nodded at the answer. "Um, you can rest a bit on the sofa. There's some snacks too, just find something to eat in the kitchen. Or do you want me to buy something?"

 

 

"No, that's fine."

 

 

"Okay. Just wait here, i won't take long! Oh, make yourself comfortable, okay?" With that, Chanyeol rushed out of his house, ready to pick Baekhyun up. Before he started the engine, he sent a short text to the nurse telling that he was about to pick him up.

 

 

 

 

 

🔥🔥🔥

 

 

 

 

 

Baekhyun was not in his sight, still nowhere to be seen. Probably still doing something. Chanyeol felt relieved, though. At least, he didn't make Baekhyun waiting for him for too long. He suddenly thinking about the boy in his house. He wondered, why the hell he let a stranger alone in his house. How if he is a bad boy? Even though, he is still young but a stranger is a stranger. How dumb he was, trusted that boy without asking about him completely.

 

 

A tap on the shoulder waking the captain up from his thoughts. "Oh, hey Baek." He smiled and handed the helmet quickly. 

 

 

"I'm sorry, i was settling some things in the hospital."

 

 

"It's okay. Have you eaten?" The nurse shook his head and hopped onto the motorcycle, casually circling his arms around the driver's torso. "Let's find something to eat first?"

 

 

"Uh Chanyeol, i guess we should just go home. The boy is alone in your house, right? It must be uncomfortable for him." Chanyeol a bit disappointed to hear that, he loved night outing with Baekhyun. He loved spending a few hours to watch the city lights with Baekhyun. But he complied anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

🔥🔥🔥

 

 

 

 

 

"We are home!" Chanyeol shouted, placing the key on the side table near the door. The room was quiet, no answers, no the sound of tv. They walked to the living room and found the boy already fell asleep on the sofa.

 

 

"Oh, so the boy is from the fire incident?" Baekhyun asked as he peeked from behind Chanyeol to see the boy.

 

 

"Yeah, you treated him."

 

 

Baekhyun nodded. "And he also ran away from the hospital. Did you know why he ran, though?" Chanyeol shrugged, he was really clueless about the boy. He only knew about his name.

 

 

"Oh, anyway how about the payment? The bill for the hospital. I heard his family is gone, so who paid the bill?"

 

 

"I don't know, the administration said the bill was paid by police station. I don't really understand." He said. Both of them were whispering softly just so they would not wake the boy up. "Chanyeol, carry him to the bed."

 

 

"What? Three of us are not fit on my bed, unless you want to sleep on top of my chest."

 

 

"Seriously, Chanyeol?" He shook his head at the captain's idea. "Just put him in there, i will sleep on the sofa."

 

 

"Wait, what?! So you ask me to sleep with this boy? No, i don't want to."

 

 

"Chanyeol." Baekhyun warned. But Chanyeol was stubborn. He didn't like sleeping in his bed with someone unless that someone was Baekhyun. He only wanted Baekhyun next to him. And no way in hell he would let Baekhyun to sleep on the sofa.

 

 

"You sleep with him, i will sleep on the sofa. That's final."

 

 

"But-"

 

 

"This is my house, Baekhyun. Follow my rules" Baekhyun rolled his eyes. Where's the our home again? And honestly, Chanyeol had no rules in his house especially for Baekhyun. Baekhyun had his freedom in there. He wondered why Chanyeol always treat him like a fragile baby.

 

 

"Fine. Let's carry him, you should take a rest too, capt." Chanyeol tried to lift the boy up as gently as he could, so the boy won't wake up. As Chanyeol carried him bridal style, the boy unknowingly nuzzled his nose to the man's chest. Chanyeol didn't mind it, though.

 

 

 

 

But Chanyeol didn't notice the slight frown on the nurse's face.
