“So you really got it good last night?”

 

Baekhyun groaned as Sehun asked him with a jerk on his eyebrows, mischief was evident on his face. Having Chanyeol’s friends suddenly showing up at their doorstep so early in the morning, and it was the morning after their memorable night too, was such a really bad luck. The teasings just wouldn’t stop!

 

He then turned to Jongin to ask the tanned male to stop Sehun from teasing him, but before he could, Jongin too was smirking teasingly at him.

 

“I can see how bad you are limping, so I guess Chanyeol must have done a very good job, right?”

 

Baekhyun let out a loud whine as he planted his face onto his elbows on the table, his ears burning red from all the questions that Sehun and Jongin were asking him. Jongin and Sehun then let out a loud guffaw as they high-fived above Baekhyun’s head, enjoying the brunette’s misery.

 

“Can you please stop?! Why the are you so interested in my life, anyway?”

 

Sehun snickered as he leant back into his seat, draping his arm over Luhan’s shoulder who was sitting beside him. “Well, who knows maybe you guys have some idea in bed that I can use with Lu-” Sehun couldn't even finish his words as Luhan suddenly pinched his side, muttering under his breath that Sehun was being embarrassing.

 

"Well, at least you guys have your lives." Jongin whined as he pouted. "Kyungsoo wouldn't even look at me."

 

Baekhyun's ear perked up when he heard what Jongin said. He had always suspected that Jongin liked Kyungsoo - well, the tanned male not being exactly discreet either - but to hear it directly from Jongin just confirmed it. Baekhyun somehow felt giddy at the prospect of his friends being together so he looked at Jongin with a big grin.

 

"So you really like Kyungsoo, huh?"

 

Jongin glanced at Baekhyun and pouted deeper, "Yes, I do like him but it's not like he'd like me back. He likes y-"

 

The dancer stopped himself just before he could blurt out Kyungsoo's secret. No, Baekhyun can't know about that. Jongin his sudden dry lips when Baekhyun looked quizzically at him.

 

"What? Kyungsoo likes what?"

 

Jongin's eyes wandered away from Baekhyun's curious ones, desperate to search any answer that wouldn't give anything away. However, his brain was not functioning well at the moment and Jongin seriously didn't know how to escape the question.

 

"Kyungsoo likes to focus on his studies first." A sudden deep voice interfered, making Baekhyun looked up in surprise while Jongin looked greatly relieved at Chanyeol's appearance. The giant put down the food that he had been making for his friends on the table, earning cheers from the HunHan couple, before sitting down on the chair beside Baekhyun.

 

"You know how he doesn't even date before, so it's not likely for him to suddenly date Jongin. Well, no offense Nini." Chanyeol reasoned out to Baekhyun, who just nodded in realisation while Jongin continued to sulk after listening to Chanyeol's words. Chanyeol smiled as he watched Baekhyun nodded cutely, couldn't help but to ruffle Baekhyun's hair affectionately, which earned a groan from the tanned male when he saw that simple action.

 

Baekhyun was in a deep thought for a while before he suddenly perked up in excitement and gave Jongin a hard smack on his back, "I'll try to help you get together with Kyungsoo."

 

Luhan, who was munching on the bacon chuckled softly, "Does Jongin even stand a chance?"

 

Jongin's eyes widened in a very scandalised expression as he whined a loud "Hyung, how could you say that?!" towards Luhan. Luhan just grinned apologetically at the dancer before he told the reason. "Well, Kyungsoo looks unapproachable to me so I thought that it'd be really hard to win his heart."

 

"But Kyungsoo has been hanging out with Jongin these days and I must say that it is such an impressive development." Baekhyun said thoughtfully and those words had caused Jongin to brighten up like he was given his favourite tedyy bear. "Because knowing Kyungsoo, he will not easily get close to another person like how he has been doing with Jongin." Baekhyun continued and Jongin was completely shining with excitement and giddiness that Sehun threw a bit of his food to the slightly older male.

 

"I think you do have a chance, Jongin-ah. I'll try to help you." Baekhyun grinned wide as he patted Jongin on his shoulder. He had never seen Jongin smiled so happily as he did now, and Baekhyun knew that Jongin truly liked Kyungsoo for him to be this happy.

 

"Aw, thank you so much, Baekhyun hyung! I love you!" Jongin had excitedly exclaimed while going in for a hug but before he could, Chanyeol had pulled Baekhyun possessively into his arms, glaring daggers at the tanned male.

 

Baekhyun had let out a loud laugh as he s his arms around Chanyeol's waist to hug him back, while Jongin, Sehun and Luhan just faked a gag at the display of affection between the two.

 

 

---

 

Baekhyun groaned as he stretched his aching back after submitting a gruesome assignment that was due on that day before slumping his head down on his desk to take a rest. He had been too laid back and spent too much time with Chanyeol that he had somehow forgot about the assignment. And now he had to pay back for his mistake.

 

But, it's not my fault that Chanyeol can be so distracting. He.. he could just sit there and still can make my heart go beating fast and all. And don't even start with his kisses! I just can't get enough of his sweet taste! How can I focus on my studies with him being beside me all the time?! Ugh, I think I'm gonna fail-

 

"You're done, Baek?"

 

Baekhyun was pulled out of his thoughts when Chanyeol suddenly came behind him. The brunette almost let out a loud moan when Chanyeol's big hands came on his shoulders and started massaging all the knots, relieving him from all of his stress after doing his assignment. The smaller just hummed in reply as he closed his eyes, enjoying the massage Chanyeol was giving him.

 

Chanyeol just smiled softly as he helped Baekhyun to destress, feeling concerned and sorry as he saw how Baekhyun had worked hard on his assignment. Well, it was kind of his fault for always taking Baekhyun away from his work and whined for the smaller to spend time with him instead. Chanyeol leant down to leave a kiss on the back of Baekhyun's head, sniffing the usual vanilla fragrance on Baekhyun after he had done massaging his small husband.

 

"Let's go somewhere."

 

Baekhyun snapped his eyes open when he heard Chanyeol's words and he felt Chanyeol's big hands on his shoulders, urging him to stand up. Baekhyun was kind of in a daze from Chanyeol's nice massage so it took him some time to react to the giant. By the time he registered what Chanyeol said in his mind, the taller was already helping him into a big, red, padding jacket - which Baekhyun was sure was Chanyeol's.

 

"W-Wait.. where are we going? It's almost midnight, Yeol."

 

Chanyeol just smiled cheekily as he held Baekhyun's cheeks in his hands and stepped closer to leave a chaste kiss on Baekhyun's forehead before walking away to wear his own coat for it would of course be cold this late at night. Baekhyun was left blushing there, feeling the spot on his forehead tingled from the simple kiss Chanyeol had given him.

 

"Come on, let's go."

 

Chanyeol exclaimed excitedly while coming closer to Baekhyun and took the brunette's hand in tight grip, pulling him out of their room to go downstairs. Baekhyun could just follow the taller dumbly as Chanyeol grabbed their things and dragged Baekhyun to the main door, urging him to wear his shoes. Seeing how excited Chanyeol looked right now, Baekhyun just decided to trust in the giant and just followed him, feeling curious on where Chanyeol was bringing him.

 

Baekhyun however froze in his track the moment he stepped out of their house, surprised to see a white scooter magically appeared right beside Chanyeol's white car. Baekhyun blinked with his mouth opened, not knowing what to say, because I don't think this scooter was here this evening when I come back home. So where does this come from?

 

Chanyeol couldn't help but to laugh at the disbelief look on Baekhyun's face before he went to retrieve the helmets that he had borrowed from his father.

 

“I took it from my father this evening, because I wanna take you for a scooter ride. What say you?”

 

Baekhyun looked up to his left, blinking at Chanyeol’s words because he didn’t know what to say. But, it didn’t mean he didn’t like the little surprise so he just nodded. “I’d love to. I’ve never rode one before.”

 

Baekhyun felt his heart flutter as he watched Chanyeol beaming wide at his answer before the giant stepped closer to help him put on the helmet. Baekhyun just let Chanyeol help him as he stood there with a thought in his mind.

 

“But isn’t it too late for a ride though? It’s almost midnight.”

 

Chanyeol clicked the helmet in place and he pulled on Baekhyun’s nose playfully, “It never is late for a scooter ride.” The taller then proceeded to wear his own helmet before pulling Baekhyun towards the scooter. He got on the white scooter and started the engine, motioning Baekhyun to settle behind him.

“Come on. Let’s go on the first ride of your life.”

 

 

---

 

Baekhyun shrieked aloud as he tightened his hold around Chanyeol’s waist, his fists gripping hard on Chanyeol’s jacket. Chanyeol was clearly enjoying it as he purposely sped up the scooter while laughing at Baekhyun’s misery.

 

“Yah Yoda, slow down, will you?!”

 

Baekhyun shouted against the wind, his grips on Chanyeol getting tighter as he was a bit frightened with the speed. It was such a nice ride earlier and Baekhyun was truly enjoying the cold, late night wind before Chanyeol decided to like that.

 

After Baekhyun gifted him a (very hard) punch on his thigh, only then Chanyeol slowed down the speed of the scooter. “Okay, okay, I’m sorry.” The giant shouted back an apologize, knowing that Baekhyun was truly surprised just now.

 

Baekhyun had stretched his hand to hit Chanyeol on his thigh once again before he sighed and tightened his hug on Chanyeol’s waist, resting his head on Chanyeol’s shoulder – as comfortable as he could because the helmets were kind of in the way.

 

Chanyeol decided to become bolder and he released his left hand from the handle to slide his hand into Baekhyun’s, gripping tight on the hand that was resting against his stomach while he tried to not get them into an accident. He heard Baekhyun’s surprised yelp so he had expected Baekhyun to reprimand him but Baekhyun just let him, resulting a very wide grin on Chanyeol’s face.

 

Baekhyun closed his eyes as he enjoyed the night wind hitting his face, kind of appreciating the warmth of Chanyeol’s big hand in his smaller one. It was Baekhyun’s first time riding a scooter and he couldn’t deny that he enjoyed it, moreover when he could just be this close to Chanyeol and enjoyed the moment together.

 

Baekhyun had thought that Chanyeol just went around without any destination in mind but it turned out that Baekhyun was wrong, because after the long ride, they had stopped at a building with a big statue of bowling pin in front of it.

 

The midget wanted to ask Chanyeol many things – like why are we suddenly here and is it still open at this time of the night and also can we just go home because I don’t know how to play bowling – but he obediently went down the scooter after Chanyeol turned off the engine.

 

The giant then opened his helmet and ruffled his own hair, which had become messy after being inside the helmet, resulting in a certain brunette’s heart to flutter at the charming action. Chanyeol then got off the scooter and settled it nicely at the designed parking for motorbikes, before coming back to Baekhyun with a smile on his face.

 

“Let me help you,” Chanyeol smiled as he helped Baekhyun to open his helmet and he also helped to fix the smaller’s hair, his smile getting wider when he saw a slight flush on Baekhyun’s cheeks. After they had kept the helmet safely at the scooter, they both walked hand-in-hand towards the entrance of the building and once they were in, Chanyeol immediately pulled Baekhyun towards the main counter.

 

Baekhyun just listened as Chanyeol talked with the girl at the counter, kind of surprised to see that they still operated even when it was already midnight. Baekhyun looked around and noticed that there were only two lanes that were occupied and the rest were all empty. Well, it won't be too embarrassing later if I don't bowl well. Baekhyun smiled at his own thought and he looked back to Chanyeol, watching the taller fished out his wallet to pay for their game.

 

Baekhyun instinctively held Chanyeol's arm, halting the taller and Chanyeol turned to him with a questioning look. "Baek?"

 

Baekhyun bit his lower lip as he looked up at Chanyeol, "Let me pay for the game." Baekhyun watched as Chanyeol frowned for a bit before the giant's lips pulled up in a small smile. 

 

"It's okay, Baek. I wanna pay for our date. I'm the one asking you out afterall." Chanyeol winked at Baekhyun, making the smaller felt taken aback for a split second before he grabbed his mind back. "B-But, I'm older so let me pay."

 

Chanyeol laughed for a while at Baekhyun's cute retaliation and he tilted his head at the smaller, "Okay." Baekhyun perked up when Chanyeol agreed and he had already on his way to take out his wallet but Chanyeol stopped him. "Okay.. but for our next date. Let this one be on me."

 

Baekhyun opened his mouth to rebut Chanyeol but they both froze a bit when the cashier at the counter cleared . The husbands' faces reddened when they finally realized that they had been bantering in front of an innocent girl, who maybe just wanted to go home instead of watching them having lover's quarrel there. With his red face, Baekhyun subtly moved to hide behind Chanyeol's big frame while the giant paid for their game with a small sorry. 

 

After they were done paying, they both went to take the shoes designated for bowling and walked together to the lane that was given to them. Shredding off from both their jackets, both Chanyeol and Baekhyun sat down on the chairs to change their shoes, though Baekhyun was a little bit slower in doing so - which was because his mind was full of thoughts like how can I play this? I don't even know how!! I never even played once and it would be so embarrassing if anything happens! And in front of Chanyeol too!! 

 

Glancing at Chanyeol who was handsomely changing his shoes - don't judge but Baekhyun found everything that Chanyeol did is charming - Baekhyun knew right away that the taller was very great in bowling. Well, Baekhyun never saw how Chanyeol played but he did look confident right now so he must be good, right? Baekhyun sighed a bit as he hunched forward to tie his shoelaces, hoping that he just could enjoy the game instead of worrying about mundane things. 

 

The smaller almost let out a yelp when suddenly big hands came into his view, helping him to tie his shoelaces. Baekhyun looked in front of him and he could see the top of Chanyeol's head as the taller was busy tying Baekhyun's shoelaces for him, not knowing how fast Baekhyun's heart was beating right at the moment. Baekhyun didn't even realise that he had leant forward a bit to take a whiff of Chanyeol's shampoo, which smelled the same as Baekhyun's now. It unconsciously made him feel giddy when he became aware of the fact that they shared almost everything together now. 

 

After he was done, Chanyeol looked up at Baekhyun with a smile - their faces were now inches away as Baekhyun had leant close to the taller just now. Baekhyun found himself staring at Chanyeol's beautiful, sparkling eyes without blinking, unable to take his gaze away. It seemed like it was the same as Chanyeol as the younger had slowly leant forward, before he pressed a chaste kiss on Baekhyun's lips.

 

Baekhyun was in deep red after Chanyeol pulled away with a goofy smile, knowing that even though no one was nearby them, they were still in public afterall. But Chanyeol looked utterly satisfied that Baekhyun could just pulled on his large ear as a punishment while mumbling a shy "cheesy Yoda" under his breath. Not wanting to waste time, Chanyeol stood up and held out his hand towards Baekhyun, helping the smaller to stand up too like the gentleman he was. 

 

"Pick your ball and show me what you got."

 

Baekhyun his suddenly dry lips as he awkwardly scratched the back of his neck, "Um.. why don't you go first? I'd like to watch you play." Baekhyun offered Chanyeol a smile, albeit it was a bit shakily, as his effort to escape. But his charm didn't work like usually on Chanyeol at that moment as the taller shook his head adamantly.

 

"No, I want you to go first." Chanyeol unconsciously whined at Baekhyun, not realising how it was Baekhyun that was going to melt from the cuteness. Baekhyun was squealing internally at the sight of whining Chanyeol, because it was kind of rare. Chanyeol had mistakenly took Baekhyun's quietness as a sign of rejection so he took his aegyo up a notch, successfully killing Baekhyun (not literally, of course) once again. 
 

"You said you are older, so shouldn't you go first? Please, Baekhyunnie~"

 

Baekhyun's heart now had gone into an overdrive when Chanyeol suddenly pouted and looked at him with his big eyes, coaxing Baekhyun to admit defeat. Baekhyun was sure that he could resist that look but who was he kidding? Sighing in defeat, Baekhyun watched as Chanyeol's face morphed into a big smile and he shook his head as he walked towards the balls to pick one. 

 

Baekhyun didn't know which one he should choose so he tried the purple-coloured one. He at least knew how to hold the ball but he really didn't expect the ball to be that heavy. Baekhyun grunted quietly in frustration and his hand went to test each one of the ball and imagine what he felt when the only ball that he felt comfortable with was the pink one. 

 

PINK!

 

Okay, Baekhyun was not the one to say pink was only meant for women or whatsoever but seriously, he didn't think he would look that cool with a pink ball and that he would look really cool with the red or maybe black ball but what to do?

 

Baekhyun then held the ball in his hand, bouncing it on his hand a bit to get used to the weight. However, Baekhyun heard a soft snicker from behind him so he quickly turned to look at Chanyeol, narrowing his eyes when he caught Chanyeol covering his mouth with a hand, trying to look innocent. But Baekhyun of course knew better - he knew Chanyeol like the back of his hand, so he knew that the giant was laughing at him. 

 

Baekhyun clenched his teeth and narrowed his eyes into dangerous slits towards Chanyeol, wanting to look menacing but really, it didn't affect Chanyeol even a bit because the giant was busy squealing internally at Baekhyun's cute self. The giant then extended a hand toward the lane, bowing a bit towards Baekhyun. "With all pleasure," Chanyeol flashed Baekhyun a charming smile, seeing how Baekhyun's angry stance just now changed into a defeated one.

 

The brunette just rolled his eyes at Chanyeol and proceeded to walk towards the lane, all the while praying in his heart that he could do well. Bowling wasn't that hard to do.. right? Like, Baekhyun just had to throw the ball towards the pins, so how hard it could be? 

 

Chanyeol watched as Baekhyun stepped slowly to the lane, looking really reluctant to do so. The brunette turned to glance at him once so Chanyeol smiled and cheered for the smaller to bowl. Chanyeol couldn't help the wide smile on his lip as he looked at Baekhyun's cute behaviour - which rightaway told him that the midget had never played bowling before. 

 

Chanyeol didn't even know whether Baekhyun liked bowling or not when he brought the older there, but he really hoped Baekhyun did. However, right at the moment they were in the bowling center, Chanyeol could see Baekhyun was relucting and he could somehow read Baekhyun's body language. He felt bad because he didn't want to enjoy this alone, but hey, Baekhyun not knowing how to play would just benefit Chanyeol, wouldn't it?

 

Well, I can be the one to teach him. How sweet is that, oh my God! 

 

So with the thought in mind, Chanyeol eagerly watched as Baekhyun started to move forward, swinging the pink ball (Asdfghjkl my husband is so adorable) in his hand before releasing it onto the lane. Both Baekhyun and Chanyeol watched the ball rolled with bated breath - Baekhyun hoping that he would do well while Chanyeol was waiting for Baekhyun to maybe get gutter ball so he could teach the midget like how he had imagined. 

 

Chanyeol's smile widened when the ball rolled towards the gutter, positive that he could carry out his romance soon but his smile slowly faltered when Baekhyun's pink ball suddenly took a curve and hit the first pin, resulting all the ten pins to crumble and voila, Baekhyun managed to get a strike on his first try!!

 

Chanyeol's jaw fell right down to the floor when he saw that while Baekhyun gasped out loud, not believing what had happened. The midget jumped in his spot while he cheered loud, turning around with a very big smile as he bounced towards Chanyeol, obviously enjoying his first strike ever. 

 

"I did it! I got a strike!" Baekhyun shouted as he launched himself towards Chanyeol for a hug, laughing melodiously as he hugged Chanyeol tightly. The midget however pulled away when Chanyeol didn't react to him. "Chanyeol? Are you okay?" Baekhyun cupped Chanyeol's face with his smaller palms and pulled Chanyeol's face down, looking at how shocked the taller looked. 

 

"B-But.. y-you.. you look like.. it's your first time playing. S-shouldn't you be bad at this??"

 

Chanyeol questioned dazedly, looking so brokenhearted that made Baekhyun feel extremely weirded out. "Well yeah, it's my first time but I don't know, maybe it's just my luck?" Baekhyun said softly, peering up at Chanyeol's saddened face and trying to think why the heck was Chanyeol being like this.

 

Why is this giant acting like this?? Wait, don't say that....

 

"Did you actually want to teach me? That's why you're so shocked?" Baekhyun smirked teasingly as Chanyeol pulled away in embarrassment. Chanyeol almost forgot that no matter how good he thought he could understand Baekhyun, he couldn't surpass the midget because Baekhyun knew him even better. And of course he would catch up on what Chanyeol was going to do.

 

Baekhyun laughed when he noticed Chanyeol's ears getting red and he almost cooed out loud when Chanyeol ignored him to go and choose his ball. Baekhyun decided that he wouldn't tease the taller too much so he just watched in silence, loving how he still could see Chanyeol's reddening ears. My husband seriously is the cutest, I swear.

 

Chanyeol was embarrassed because well yeah, who wouldn't? It was nice having Baekhyun to understand him well, because people who were married need to reach this kind of understanding but sometimes, it could be disadvantages too. Look at now, for example. Baekhyun could read him like an open book that Chanyeol couldn't even deny what Baekhyun was saying just now.

 

Chanyeol was too busy trying to hide away from Baekhyun that he couldn't focus when he bowled. He didn't even aim, he just rightaway threw the red ball in his hand and of course it resulted in the ball getting into the gutter. Chanyeol swore he felt like burying himself in the ground when he heard Baekhyun erupt in loud, high-pitched laughter, clearly enjoying Chanyeol's misery.

 

"Yah, stop laughing at me!"

 

Chanyeol unconsciously whined as he looked at Baekhyun, who was laughing while clutching his stomach. It was now time for Chanyeol to narrow his eyes at his smaller husband, feeling utterly betrayed that Baekhyun could laugh at him like that. Chanyeol stomped his way to Baekhyun and grabbed the back of Baekhyun's neck, smirking when the brunette yelped from surprise because Chanyeol perfectly knew that his nape was his most sensitive spot.

 

"Do you still want to laugh at me, huh Park Baekhyun?"

 

Baekhyun looked up at Chanyeol while trying to escape his clutch, though Chanyeol wouldn't let him go easily. So, Baekhyun held up both hands in surrender, "Okay, okay, I'll stop! Let me go, please." Chanyeol nodded his head  as he released his hold on the midget, still warning Baekhyun with his eyes. Baekhyun just bit his lips as he tried to stop his laugh, although a chuckle still escaped his mouth, making Chanyeol feel even more piqued. 

 

"Okay, okay, I'll seriously stop now." Baekhyun pressed on the corner of his mouth with his long fingers, looking at Chanyeol with bright, innocent eyes as if trying to prove his words. After he had calmed down, he patted Chanyeol on his shoulder. "Why don't you go finish your first frame?"

 

Chanyeol almost rolled his eyes when he noticed Baekhyun still chuckling afterall, so he leant closer to the brunette. "Watch me closely. I'm going to get a strike too and make you feel blown away from my skill."

 

Baekhyun laughed at Chanyeol's cocky attitude and he pushed the taller towards the balls, "Okay, I'm ready to be blown away by your so called skill. Show me what you got, tiger!"

 

Chanyeol picked the same red ball and he turned to wink at Baekhyun charmingly, which the smaller just rolled his eyes at him. Baekhyun waved his hand, urging Chanyeol to go faster. So with his burning spirit, Chanyeol aimed nicely for the first pin before he swung the ball in his hand and bowled, smirking as he saw how the ball made a great curve before hitting all the pins in one go.

 

Chanyeol turned to look at Baekhyun with a smug smile plastered on his face and he swiped his hair back, trying to charm his way into Baekhyun's heart (though he actually had always been there already). Baekhyun faked a snicker though after he still clapped in amazement at Chanyeol's skill, which Baekhyun could never deny. 

 

The moment Chanyeol walked back to him, Baekhyun already knew that the taller would start to brag so not wanting to hear him bragging, Baekhyun quickly proposed an idea. "Why don't we go against each other and let's see who'll win?" Baekhyun knew that he would definitely lost against Chanyeol, but hey, they could have more fun like this.

 

Chanyeol smirked because he was also confident that he was going to win. He tilted his head while having a small smirk on his face, "So what will the winner get?"

 

Baekhyun hummed as he tried to think for a perfect gift but before he could, Chanyeol had already cut him. "The winner will get a kiss. What do you say?" Chanyeol couldn't hide the smile on his lips, because it was the best gift that he could ever think of. 

 

The giant however was taken aback when Baekhyun moved closer to him in a blink of an eye and pulled him down to leave a soft kiss on his lips, making Chanyeol feel warm all over his face and body. "You could just ask me if you want a kiss, you know?" Baekhyun teased Chanyeol as he left one more peck on Chanyeol's cheek before pulling away.

 

"Anyway, the loser will have to cook tomorrow for the winner, 'kay?" 

 

Baekhyun said cutely and he then proceeded to bowl for his turn, leaving Chanyeol speechless there. 

 

And the giant was even more flabbergasted when Baekhyun had successfully knocked down 8 pins for his second try.

 

---

 

"Ah, I can't wait to eat to my heart's content tomorrow!"

 

Chanyeol exclaimed loudly as they walked back to their scooter after they had finished their game. Baekhyun rolled his eyes at the excited giant and he pushed Chanyeol playfully before speedwalked to the scooter. Chanyeol just laughed out loud when he saw Baekhyun's annoyed face so he quickly chased the smaller and caught him in his arms, giving Baekhyun a backhug.

 

"I did win the game just now, but you are really a natural, Park Baekhyun. I can't believe that it's your first time, because our points were very close just now. I'm so shocked."

 

Baekhyun's lips were pulled up into a small smile though he tried hard to stop himself from smiling. Chanyeol's deep voice just beside his ears and the warmth provided by the taller really didn't help at all.

 

"Ugh, stop it, yoda! Let's go back, it's very cold right now." Baekhyun wriggled his body to get out of Chanyeol's hug but he was surprised when Chanyeol turned him around, still encasing his arms around Baekhyun's waist to not let him go. Chanyeol sniffed once (because it was real cold outside and it was so late in the night already) and he looked down at Baekhyun with a cheeky smile.

 

"Hey, you know that I won, right? And guess what, I still don't get my winning kiss."

 

Feeling cold, Baekhyun slid his hands in Chanyeol's jacket, which were ped and rested his hands on the taller's chest as he looked up incredulously at his tall husband. "What kiss are you talking about? I'm just going to cook for you and that's it."

 

"But you said that I can just tell you if I want a kiss. And I want it now." There was a whine in Chanyeol's tone that made Baekhyun automatically smile. The brunette somehow still didn't want to lose so he decided to drag the time. 

 

"Right at this spot? In public? Where people can see us?"

 

Chanyeol groaned at Baekhyun's unnecessary questions, knowing that the smaller was enjoying his time by teasing Chanyeol. "It's almost 2 in the morning Park Baekhyun and there's no one here, so no one will see us." Chanyeol narrowed his eyes at the smaller, "By the way, when we were starting the game, you just kissed me without even minding the girl at the counter and a family at the last lane, didn't you? So why bother now?"

 

Baekhyun laughed internally at Chanyeol's frustrated tone, knowing that the baby giant would get real upset soon if he continued teasing him. But being Baekhyun, he just enjoyed seeing the frown on Chanyeol's face because everyone knew how hot Chanyeol looked when he frowned. 

 

"Oh, I don't know.. I'm not sure if I want to ki- umf!"

 

Baekhyun didn't get to finish his words when suddenly, a pair of soft lips crashed onto his thin ones, pulling him into a kiss. Baekhyun let out an inaudible gasp when he felt Chanyeol's tongue poking his lips and he involuntarily opened his mouth to give access to Chanyeol. The younger didn't even waste his time and he pushed his tongue into Baekhyun's warm cavern, grunting low in his throat at the sweet taste that he would never get bored of. 

 

Baekhyun moaned softly when Chanyeol's tongue brushed the roof of his mouth and he quickly moved his arms to snake them around Chanyeol's neck when he felt his legs almost giving out. Chanyeol in return wrapped his arms tighter around Baekhyun's waist, pulling the smaller even closer as he tilted his head to kiss Baekhyun deeper.

 

It felt like forever when they kissed and Baekhyun could feel his lungs burning, asking for air so he pulled away from the kiss. He was in a daze when he opened his eyes, but he could still register the thread of saliva connecting their mouth and to be honest, Baekhyun could feel himself getting . Baekhyun his lips, savouring the taste of Chanyeol on his lips and he looked up at the taller, who was panting and also looking like he was in a daze.

 

Baekhyun couldn't stop the laugh that came out of his mouth and he planted his burning face on Chanyeol's chest, rubbing his face on the taller in content. "Let's just go home. It's.. it's getting even colder now." It was a lie because Baekhyun felt so hot right now, but before anything bad happen there right in the open, they better go home right now.

 

It looked like Chanyeol agreed with him because after pecking Baekhyun on his lips one last time, the taller detached himself from Baekhyun (making Baekhyun yearn for the warmth again) and he helped the smaller with his helmet. After they were done, they both took off, a wide smile plastered on both their faces.

 

Chanyeol was proud to say that his idea for their date this time was a very big success.

 

 

---

 

 

Baekhyun's eyes widened in fear when a screeching scream reached his ears. 

 

Baekhyun didn't know where he was but when he looked around, he could see that it was some kind of a rooftop and he was sure that it was a very high building. But how did Baekhyun get there? Why was Baekhyun here, alone?

 

"Baekhyun!"

 

His thoughts were interrupted by the voice screaming his name so Baekhyun tried to search where it came from. The brunette was getting histeric as he tried and tried to follow the voice, his chest heaving from the adrenaline. Once again, that someone was screaming for him and Baekhyun decided to just follow his instinct. He ran towards a direction to his right and he ran and ran until he reached the end of the rooftop.

 

"Baekhyun, help me!"

 

Baekhyun's eyes widened when he heard the voice, finally recognising it as his mother's voice. Baekhyun wasted no time and he leant forward to look down. The small male gasped out loud when he saw his mother hanging at the edge of the rooftop, in the verge of falling down into an abyss which Baekhyun didn't know where it would end.

 

"Eomma!"

 

Baekhyun knelt down at the edge and he quickly grasped his mother's thin wrist in his hand, groaning aloud as he tried his best to pull his mother up. Baekhyun clenched his teeth as he used both his hands to pull his mother, feeling his heartbeat going faster. Baekhyun was nonstop praying in his heart that he could save his mother, feeling great fear in his heart because what if he couldn't save her?

 

Baekhyun's hands were getting sweaty and he looked down at his mother's teary eyes, "Eomma, hold on to me! I'll save you, eomma, I'll save you!" Baekhyun could feel his mother's hands slipping down from his hold and Baekhyun was getting frantic. "Eomma,.. Eomma.." Mrs Byun's eyes were filled with water as she looked up at Baekhyun, mumbling "my son.. my son.." nonstop under his breathe.

 

"No.. No.." Baekhyun shook his head as he tried harder to grip on his mother's hand, tears now started rolling down his cheeks. "Eomma, you'll be safe, eomma! Hold on!"

 

In the midst of the panic, Baekhyun somehow could hear footsteps coming from behind him and the male couldn't be more thankful for that. He could hear that someone coming closer until that someone finally reached him, so he gritted out the words through his clenched teeth.

 

"Help.. H-Help me.. Please.. My mother.."

 

Baekhyun tightened his grip on his mother's hand, trying his best to smile at his frightened mother as he waited for that someone to help him. Baekhyun kept praying for his mother to be safe, and Baekhyun was sure that she would be safe. 

 

Baekhyun's face broke out into a smile when a familiar big hand came into his view, holding on Baekhyun's hands that were holding Mrs. Byun's hands. Baekhyun turned his head to look at his right and true to his guess, it was Chanyeol. Chanyeol had come to help him and Baekhyun could feel relief started to flood into his heart.

 

Baekhyun's eyes however widened when Chanyeol turned to look at him too - with his eyes in deep black, his usual brown sparkling eyes were nowhere to be seen.

 

And Baekhyun let out a loud scream when that Chanyeol pried his hands away from his mother's wrists instead of helping him like he had expected, making Baekhyun lost his hold on his mother.

 

"Eomma!"

 

The smaller male could just watch with tears flooding down his cheeks as his mother fell down, unable to be saved anymore. Baekhyun's chest was heaving as he sobbed aloud, his tears couldn't be stopped as he kept on chanting 'Eomma'. 

 

Baekhyun whipped his head to his right with a rage in his heart, because that Chanyeol had killed his mother. Baekhyun was ready to avenge his mother but before he could even land a punch on Chanyeol's face, Chanyeol had pushed his hard. Baekhyun's hands tried to grasp on anything, anything that could stop him from falling but to no avail. Baekhyun could feel the gravity doing its work on him as he was pulled into an endless pit of darkness.

 

And the last thing that Baekhyun saw was Chanyeol looking down at his falling body with a smirk on his lips.

 

 

 

"Baekhyun, wake up!"

 

Baekhyun's eyes snapped open as he gasped out loud for air, feeling a heavy burden on his chest that it was hard for him to breathe. 

 

"Baekhyun, look at me! Baek, are you okay?!"

 

Baekhyun's mind was in a haze as his stared at the ceiling wide-eyed, barely registering the deep voice that kept calling for him. Baekhyun didn't know why, but it was so hard for him to breathe - there was such a frightening feeling that he couldn't shake off from inside him.

 

Baekhyun somehow felt large hands cupping his face and Chanyeol's face suddenly came into his view. Baekhyun unconsciously flinched away from Chanyeol's touch, because he remembered how menacing Chanyeol looked just now. He had expected to see the same dark eyes that he saw but instead, Chanyeol's brown eyes were looking down at him with deep worries clearly shone in them.

 

"Ch-Chan.. Chanyeol.."

 

"Yes, Baek. Yes, it's me." Chanyeol breathed out as he pulled Baekhyun's drenched body in his arms, hugging the smaller tight. Baekhyun closed his eyes at the warmth surrounding him, feeling the burden on his chest slowly being lifted that he finally felt easier to breathe. Baekhyun tiredlessly s his arms around Chanyeol's body, inhaling the musky scent of Chanyeol that helped him to feel relaxed.

 

They stayed like that for a long time - Chanyeol rubbing Baekhyun's back tenderly while Baekhyun trying to catch his breath, helped by Chanyeol's soft breathing beside his ear. 

 

When Chanyeol deemed Baekhyun was fine and that his breathing had come back to normal, the taller laid Baekhyun back down on the bed, wiping Baekhyun's sweaty fringe away from his forehead. Baekhyun gripped hard on Chanyeol's front shirt, not wanting Chanyeol to get away from him and Chanyeol leant closer on top of him, not even planning to leave Baekhyun.

 

"Are you okay now?"

 

Baekhyun took a deep breath as he looked into Chanyeol's eyes, nodding his head slowly because he had felt slightly better now, even though he was still much shaken up. 

 

"Do you wanna talk about it?" Chanyeol asked softly as he caressed Baekhyun's cheek lovingly with the back of his finger, his face morphed into a worried frown. Baekhyun gulped hard, his eyes started to get teary again as flashes of his nightmare came back into his mind. 

 

"D-dreamt.. b-bout eom..ma... a-and you.."

 

Seeing how shaken up Baekhyun was, Chanyeol quickly lied down beside Baekhyun and pulled him into his arms, hugging him tightly as he whispered comforting words in Baekhyun's ears. 

 

"It's just a dream, Baek.. Everything will be okay.. Nothing bad will happen to Eomma and me.."

 

Baekhyun planted his face into the crook of Chanyeol's neck, where his scent was the strongest and inhaled deeply, comforting himself with the musky scent and the warmth of Chanyeol's body surrounding him. Somehow, Baekhyun felt better now that he heard Chanyeol's deep voice whipering softly into his ear, feeling Chanyeol's breathe on his ear.

 

Baekhyun heaved a heavy sigh as he felt himself getting calmer, desperately snuggling closer to Chanyeol to get all the comfort that the taller offered him, and Chanyeol did offer him a lot. 

 

"Nothing will happen, Baek.. it was just a bad dream.. everything is okay.."

 

And Baekhyun found himself trusting Chanyeol's words because Chanyeol would not lie to him, right? Everything was just a bad dream, a very bad dream and nothing would happen to his mother and Chanyeol, right?

 

"Everything will be alright, Baek.."

 

Yes, everything will be alright.

 

And so Baekhyun fell back into a deep sleep, comforted by Chanyeol's warm hug, comforting smell and his deep voice whispering in his ears.

 

 

 

Chanyeol sighed softly when he noticed that Baekhyun had fallen asleep again, his face morphed into a deep frown and his hand gripping tight on Chanyeol's shirt. Chanyeol's hand reached up to carressed Baekhyun's brows, soothing the frown on his forehead before he leant down to leave a kiss on the said forehead. 

 

Just what dream did you dream of eomma that makes you be this shaken up? Chanyeol mindlessly thought as he hugged Baekhyun tighter, hearing the soft breathing of the sleeping male. What will happen in the future when you know the truth, Baek? Chanyeol gulped hard as he brushed his lips on Baekhyun's temple, inhaling the smaller's scent to calm his own anxious heart. Would you be okay?

 

Would us be okay?

 

And that night, Chanyeol slept with thousands of thoughts swirling around in his head.
