Baekyeol and Yitao made their way down stairs. Once Baekyeol hopped off the last step, he spoke.

"Do we get to keep these?" He pointed his outfit and angelic wings.

"Hm?" Yitao looked over at Baekyeol. "I guess. I don't think my daddy won't mind."

"Yay!" Baekyeol did a little twirl before he accidentally fell, landing on his bottom. "Ow."

Yitao rolled his eyes and held out his hand for the other to take. "You are clumsy." He said as he pulled up Baekyeol. "Are you going to cry?" Baekyeol puffed his cheeks as he tried his best to hold back his tears. "Jeez, don't…don't cry." Yitao knew that he would kiss the boo-boo away just like what his mother would always do, but he didn't want to kiss Baekyeol's . Instead, Yitao kissed Baekyeol forehead. "No more crying okay. Its just a boo-boo. Understand?" Baekyeol rubbed his eye and slowly nodded. "Good. Now, lets go and get some ice cream from --"

"Oh, Baekyeol, Yitao."

The two kids turned to see Baekhyun and Chanyeol approaching them. Baekyeol smiled and ran towards his mother, jumping in his arms. "Mama!" He snuggled against the crook of Baekhyun's neck.

"You two look so handsome." Baekhyun said as he checked out Baekyeol's outfit. "Cute too."

"Uncle Kris made us these!" Baekyeol said with a smile on his face. He did a little twirl, showing Baekhyun and Chanyeol his outfit.

"Adorable." The taller said as he knelt down to be at the same level as the two kids.

"I'll be right back okay." Baekhyun stood up, dusting his shorts. "I need to ask Tao something really quick." With that, Baekhyun walked to the kitchen to find Tao. Once the other was out of sight, Chanyeol turned to face the children.

"Ah, Baekyeol."

"Hm? Yes papa?"

"Can you help me with something?"

"Sure!" Baekyeol beamed at his father. "What do you need help with?" He started to jump a bit from excitement that Yitao started to chuckle.

"I need you," Chanyeol started to dig in his pocket, taking out a small box. "To give this to mama." He opened it to show a beautiful 1/2 CT. T.W. diamond three stone past present future ring in 14K white gold. It was beautiful, no doubt; Chanyeol smiled a bit when he saw the ring. He took it out and showed it to the two boys.

"Whoa!" Yitao said in awe. "Thats really pretty uncle Chanyeol."

"You think auntie will like it?"

"Hm!" Yitao nodded his head. "Yeah!"

Chanyeol turned to Baekyeol, who was in awe. "Can you give this to mama?" He instructed Baekyeol to go to Baekhyun and place the ring on his left, ring finger. "And if he asks…say that papa was the one okay."

"I thought mama and papa were already married." Baekyeol said as he blinked at his father.

"Well, not yet…but now, papa wants to complete his family now." He smiled at the two. "I have mama and you now." He patted his son on the head. "You see, papa wanted to get mama a really pretty ring. I saved up a lot of money and I think I found the perfect one."

"Oh…so now…now we will be happy family?" Baekyeol asked, in which Chanyeol nodded.

"More than happy. We will be that one family that is a really big, ball of happiness. We will be that family."

"Okay!" Chanyeol smiled and placed the ring in his son's hands. He couldn't believe that everything was going to be complete know. Everything that Chanyeol dreamed of came true; a perfect boyfriend, who soon will be his husband, but more like a wife, an adorable child, in which ironically was a combination of both of his and Baekhyun's name, a great job that pays well, and wonderful friends. He couldn't ask for more. He watched as Baekyeol made his way to the kitchen.

"Lets go and see Yitao." Chanyeol held out his hand for Yitao to take. The both stood by the corner and peaked inside the kitchen. Baekyeol made his way to his mother, who was sitting by the kitchen table with Tao, Sehun, Chen, and Xiumin around.

Even though Baekhyun was chatting with Tao, the young boy tried his best to get on Baekhyun's lap. With the help of Baekhyun, Baekyeol was able to situate himself on his mother's lap. His mother continued to talk to Tao; he took the opportunity to do what his father instructed. He grabbed his mother's left hand and slipped in the ring on his ring finger.

"And I was -- hm?" Baekhyun looked down at his left hand to see what Baekyeol slipped in his ring finger. His eyes widen. "W-wha…B-Baekyeol…" Baekhyun was too shocked to form a sentence. The others were looked at each other, wondering what was made Baekhyun so shocked. Tao leaned over the table; he gasped.

"Is that a ring?!"

The others widen their eyes and looked over to see Baekhyun's hand. Chanyeol smiled in victory; he looked down at Yitao, who gave a thumbs up at his 'uncle'.

"W-where did Baekyeol get that?" Xiumin asked as he brought up Baekhyun's hand to inspect it. "Its so pretty!"

"Yeah!" Sehun said. "I wanna take a picture of it!"

"Baekyeol," Baekhyun said, making the other turn his head to face his mother. "You didn't take this from uncle Kris' room did you? Or anywhere from the house? Because stealing is wrong."

"I didn't steal it!" Baekyeol said. "Papa did it!" He beamed at his mother, but everyone's expressions dropped.

"Chanyeol?!" Baekhyun looked at the ring. "He stole a ring?!"

Chanyeol lowered his head, pinching the bridge of his nose. 'Oh jeez.' Before he could go in and clear everything up, Chen spoke, saying that he never seen that ring before.

"Not even Tai had that ring." Chen inspected the ring very closely. "I'm sure of it."

"So…you're saying that Chanyeol didn't steal anything from the mansion?"

"Tai never really wore rings anyway…only her wedding ring. And why would Kris carry that kind of ring anyway. So, it can't be from here."

"T-then my boyfriend stole it from somewhere?!" Baekhyun held Baekyeol tightly, who just continued to smile, thinking that he did a good job on what he did.

'Okay, no.' Chanyeol walked in the kitchen with Yitao at tow. "I didn't steal anything."

Baekhyun looked over to see Chanyeol approaching. He was almost at tears, a little sad that his boyfriend would 'steal' something even if it was gorgeous as it is. "Then what is this?"

"Its a ring."

"I know that, but why --"

"Will you marry me?"

"-- did you steal…wait…w-what did you say?"

Chanyeol slowly smiled and took hold of Baekhyun's hand with the ring on it. "I said…will you marry me."

Baekhyun's eyes widen for the second time. Everyone in the kitchen gasped, looking back and forth between the two.

"I so need popcorn right now." Chen whispered to Xiumin, who only nudged him to be quiet. Baekhyun continued to be speechless. After years of being with Chanyeol, he finally popped the question. He let out tears, now dripping over his cheeks.

"Mama, why are you crying?" Baekyeol frowned and tried to wipe his mother's tears away.

"B-because…because…" Baekhyun couldn't form sentence, once again. But the reason was totally different; he was happy.

"I think your mama is happy Baekyeol." Tao said with a smile. "He is just too happy that he is crying." He chuckled.

"Oh, so mama is okay then."

"Yup. Mama is okay."

Baekyeol smiled and wrapped his hands around his mother's neck. "I like it when mama is happy."

Baekhyun hugged Baekyeol tightly with his free hand. He looked up at Chanyeol, who was still holding onto his left hand. He smiled at the taller.

"Yes."

Chanyeol blinked. "Y-yes?"

He chuckled. "Yes."

The taller smiled; he let out a laugh before a few tears rolled from the corners of his eyes. Baekhyun chuckled and stood up from his seat, with Baekyeol in his arms. Baekhyun took his left hand, motioned for Chanyeol to lean closer so they could share a kiss. Everyone clapped and congratulated the two.

"Whoa, wait." Sehun said as he looked around the room. "Boss isn't here. Shouldn't we tell him? It is not complete unless he is here!!"

"Lets tell him later." Chen said. "Besides, we should celebrate! For Chanyeol, Baekhyun, and Baekyeol!" The others clapped even more. Baekyeol started to clap along with the others. He wiggled a bit, making Baekhyun placing him down on the ground. The little boy made his way to Yitao, grabbing onto his arm.

"I wanna marry Yitao!"

The young panda blushed, trying his best to wiggle from the other's grasp. "N-no."

"Hm!" Baekyeol pouted a bit and stomped his foot. "But why?"

"Ah," Chanyeol picked up his son, carrying him in his arms. Yitao took the chance to run to Tao, who clutched onto his shirt. "You two are too young." He chuckled. "Maybe…sometime…when you guys are older. Way older."

"Like how old." Baekyeol asked.

"Hm…when you are 50."

The others chuckled. Ever since Baekyeol came into Chanyeol and Baekhyun's lives they have been protective of the other, especially Chanyeol. He acted as a very protective father.

"Oh…okay." Baekyeol beamed at the other as he wrapped his arms around his father's neck.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Kris was pacing in his room, feeling the nerves coming up again. 'Why is this so hard to do?' He was close into pulling out his hair. 'Well, I guess when I did this with Tai, I was close into having a heart attack.' He stopped his pacing and glanced at the photo frame that was displayed on his night stand. Kris approached it; he slowly picked the photo frame, glancing at the happy married couple in the photo.

'Are you watching over us? Yitao…and me?' He waited as if his late wife would respond back to him. 'Are you mad at me for loving someone else? Are you even more angry with me that I fell in love with a guy?' He slightly blushed a bit. He glanced at his night stand where his wedding ring was now sitting. He took it off a long time ago, more specifically before he went to China to get Tao back. He sighed once again and placed the picture frame back on the night stand. Kris looked around his room; little memories of his late wife appeared in his mind. He chuckled a bit, remembering just the little things about Tai. He did miss her no doubt, but then there was Tao, who was able to bring light again in his and Yitao's lives.

He looked back at his ring; he opened his drawer and took out a small box. He opened it and placed his wedding ring inside. 'I hope you can forgive me. But…I'm falling for him. Please continue to watch over us.'

With that, he walked towards the door, exiting his room.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Kris walked down the stairs, only to here commotion coming from the kitchen. He made his way over to the kitchen, where everyone was clapping and being all joyous.

"Whats going on?"

"Boss!" Xiumin smiled at the other. "Guess what! Chanyeol and Baekhyun are engaged!"

"What?" Kris looked over at Chanyeol and Baekhyun, both smiling at the dragon. He smiled at the both of them. "Congratulations you guys!"

"We were thinking of going out to eat. To celebrate their engagement." Sehun said.

"That sounds like a great idea." He nodded. "I'll pay."

"Ha?!" Chanyeol shook his head. "N-no need Boss. I got this covered --"

"Ah, ah." The dragon shook his head. "No. I'll take care of it."

"I can cook something." Xiumin said. "And since it is nice outside, we can eat in the backyard."

"That sounds like a good plan." Baekhyun clapped. "Is that okay?" He asked Kris. "Since this is your house and all…I just want to make sure --"

"Of course its fine." The dragon smiled at them.

"I'll help." Tao said as he stood up from his seat. "I think I got this cooking thing down. I'm pretty good right Xiumin?"

Xiumin chuckled a bit as he nodded. "Lets get started shall we?"

"I want to get some balloons!" Sehun raised his hand.

"Why do you want balloons?" Chen raised his eyebrow.

"Duh…celebration, remember?" Sehun shook his head at Chen. "Lets get some balloons!"

"I want a balloon!" Baekyeol jumped up and down. "Balloon!"

"See! Even Baekyeol wants a balloon."

"Fine. Jeez, lets get some balloons." Chen shook his head at the man-child.

"Yes! Victory!" Sehun bent down and highfived Baekyeol. "We will be back with the balloons!" Sehun and Chen left the kitchen to get the balloons.

"Oh! Wait, I need Chen to stop by the grocery store to get some things." Xiumin rushed out of the kitchen to catch up with Chen before he left.

While he left, Baekhyun turned over to Chanyeol, giving him a smile. He approached him, hugging him tightly. He mumbled some words, making Chanyeol lift his head up.

"What was that?"

"I said…I…I'm so happy." He rested his chin on Chanyeol's chest. "I was content with everything…I didn't ask for this."

"Hm...I felt that I should. I was okay with just being boyfriend, but I wanted to be more than that...and I want our family to be complete."

Baekhyun smiled and nodded. "This was an interesting way to propose. Letting Baekyeol do it…it was cute."

"Honestly…I was kinda lazy to ask you, so I let Baekyeol do all the work." He said with a joking tone, but the other didn't pick up the hint. Instead, Baekhyun slapped Chanyeol's chest hard, getting a groan from the other.

"You ruined the freaking moment Chanyeol!"

"S-sorry, b-but babe, you know that I didn't mean it in that way. I-I was just kidding!"

Baekhyun eyed the other; he let out a sigh. "You are something Chanyeol. And this is just the beginning." He chuckled. Chanyeol slowly smiled and leaned in gave a loving kiss to the other.

Tao and Kris, along with the children, were the only ones that remained in the kitchen. It was getting awkward for the panda and the dragon, considering Chanyeol and Baekhyun were kissing.

"Um," Tao turned to Yitao and picked him up. "Get Baekyeol and lets go in the backyard." Kris nodded and picked up Baekyeol. They quietly made their way to the backyard, Kris closing the sliding door.

"There." Kris placed Baekyeol down. "Play for a bit okay?"

"Hm." Baekyeol smiled at the dragon; he looked around for Yitao and started to run towards him. Kris glanced over at Tao, who smiled brightly at the two children.

'This could be it. I could ask Tao right now!'

Kris started to open his mouth, but instead of him asking, Xiumin interrupted asking Tao to come in and help him with preparing food.

"Okay." Tao smiled at the chef. He turned to Kris and nodded his head. "I'll be back to check up on the kids." With that he headed inside. Once Tao closed the sliding door, the dragon groaned and headed towards the patio table.

'As much as I care for my employees…I'm starting to dislike you greatly Xiumin. Greatly.'

He sighed and tried to relax. He propped up his elbow on the table and watched as Yitao ran around, trying to get away from the other. Kris chuckled. 'Cute.' He sighed a bit. 'Can't believe Chanyeol and Baekhyun are getting married. I wish that I had Chanyeol's personality. He is more foreword in relationships. Unlike me…I get nervous and scared.' He shook his head. 'Come on Kris, you can do this.'

He looked up, and saw Yitao trip and fall on the grass. "Oh." Kris stood up from his seat and approached his son and Baekyeol. "Yitao, are you okay?"

"Hm." Yitao looked down at his outfit and hands. His hands were dirty, but he was more worried at his clothes, since his father was the one who made them. "I'm sorry d-daddy. I ruined the clothes."

"Its okay Yitao." He chuckled a bit. He sat down on the grass, crisscrossing his legs. Kris then lifted his son, placing him on his lap. "Lemme see your hands." He lifted his hands, seeing that it was filled with dirt and grass stains. Baekyeol leaned over and a frown fell upon his face.

"I'm sorry." Baekyeol sniffed, but Kris patted the other's head.

"It is not your fault Baekyeol. It was just a simple accident." Baekyeol looked up, staring at a smiling dragon. A tinge of pink started to form on his face that he quickly looked down at the grass.

'"Hm? Something wrong Baekyeol?" Kris asked, but the younger shook his head and turned around to avoid the eyes the two. Baekyeol cupped his cheeks and started to shake his head. "W-well, okay. Um, Yitao, you will be okay. Don't worry about the clothes. We will be able to wash it clean."

"Promise?"

"Yes." Kris ruffled his hair. "Now, go and play with Baekyeol."

Baekyeol looked over his shoulder and stood up, along with Yitao. Kris stood up, dusting his pants. He went back to the patio table and watched as they continued to play.

"Kris." The dragon looked over his shoulder and see Tao approaching with a glass of lemonade. "Here you go. I thought that you would need a glass." He started to fan himself with his hand. "It so hot."

'You're hot.' "Ah, yeah. It is." Kris started to fan himself. "Would you like to sit?" He stood up and turned around to grab the other a seat.

"Yah!" Tao said. "Your pants have grass stains!"

"Huh?" Kris looked down. "No I don't --"

"Yeah you do! On your !" Tao approached the other, while he clicked his tongue. "Take it off so I can wash them. I watched something on the television on how to get rid of grass stains." He clapped with a smile. "I can actually work it…using your pants as a guinea pig." He beamed. "Take it off! Take it off! Take it off! Take --"

"Okay, okay, jeez!" He leaned back a bit. "P-please don't say that again okay? Not, out loud."

"Huh? Uh, sure." Tao blinked at the other. "Now, go back in the room and change out of that. And gimmie the pants okay."

"Yeah, sure." Kris made his way to the sliding door. As he closed it, now in the kitchen, he turned around only to see Chanyeol, Baekhyun, and Xiumin holding in their laughs.

"Y-you know Boss…you…uh, got something --"

"I know. I know. I'm changing." Kris sighed as he made his way to the staircase.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Tao watched as the kids played for a bit, while Kris changed. By then, Baekhyun came out with a tray of cookies for the kids. Both Yitao and Baekyeol ran up to Baekhyun, munching on the cookies that Baekhyun provided for them. Baekyeol looked up at Tao and started to sway back and forth.

"Something wrong Baekyeol?" Tao asked as he squatted down to be at level with the other.

"Hm." Baekyeol nibbled on his cookie. "I'm not related to uncle Kris am I?"

"Um, no. Not by blood…uncle is just a term that is used…Ah, since you are close to us, we sort of act like family." He smiled.

"Oh…and you are not married to him right?"

"Um, n-no…why are you asking?"

"I wanna marry uncle Kris!" Tao widen his eyes, as well as Baekhyun, who ce he heard what his son said.

"You want to what?" Tao asked again. "K-Kris?"

"Hm!" Baekyeol smiled. "He is really handsome! I like him!"

By then, Yitao pouted and crossed his arms.

"Um, wow." Tao looked over his shoulder to face Baekhyun. "Your son likes handsome guys."

Baekhyun chuckled. "Ah, baby." Baekhyun picked up his son. "You are way too young to be um…thinking about marriage. Plus, I don't think papa will be too happy with that idea." Baekyeol tilted his head at his mother and gave a couple of blinks. He wiggled in place, making the other put him down on the ground. The two adults watched as Baekyeol rushed to the sliding door.

Once Baekyeol got inside, he saw his father and Xiumin in the kitchen. "Papa!" Chanyeol looked up from the table.

"Yes?"

"I wanna marry uncle Kris!"

"What!!?" Chanyeol and Kris, who just entered the kitchen in perfect timing, said in unison. Chanyeol turned his head at his Boss, giving the most confused expression.

"Boss?! What is this about?!"

"I-I don't know?!" He raised his hands in defense. "I just got here!"

"My son wants to what?!"

Baekyeol beamed at the two adults, who were having some panic attack. Tao, Baekhyun, and Yitao came in, with the young panda now with an angry expression.

"B-Baekyeol…what happened with um, marrying Yitao huh?" Chanyeol said. "It would be better than wanting to marry Boss. Not to mention way cuter with Yitao." He said with a soft voice.

"Yitao doesn't want to marry me." Baekyeol said bluntly. "So, I want to marry --"

Yitao approached the other grabbed his hand, leading him to the chairs near the kitchen table. Everyone just stood still and watched what the young panda was going to do. Yitao, with all his might, lifted Baekyeol up and placed him on the chair. He then climbed onto the same chair and situated himself behind the other, Baekyeol between Yitao's legs and wrapping his arms around Baekyeol's waist.

"Aww." Baekhyun started. "I think he was feeling slightly jealous that Baekyeol was liking Kris more than him."

Yitao snuggled closed to Baekyeol, letting his forehead rest on his shoulder. Baekyeol giggled a bit and patted the other on the head. "I like Yitao again!" He looked at Kris. "Sorry uncle Kris…but I like Yitao!"

"Erm, its…fine?" Kris scratched the back of his neck. 'Wow…seriously, what just happened.' "Um…since that is over, um, Tao,"

The panda looked up, only to feel his cheeks overheat. His Boss came out with a royal blue ribbed tank top and a white tabbed plaid-cuff shorts that went to his knees. 'Oh…my…god.' Baekhyun glanced over at Tao and nudged him. The panda glanced at his best friend, who gave a smirk.

"Tao."

"Y-yes?"

"Uh, here?" Kris gave the other his pants. "You said that you wanted to wash it?"

"R-right. Yeah." He grabbed the pants and started to fold them. "I'll get right on them --"

"Later. Do those later. Lets help Xiumin okay?" Kris turned around to help with Xiumin. Tao's eyes widen when he saw Kris' back. 'Holy mother of…!!'

On Kris' back displayed a tattoo of a dragon, in which its head was seen on his shoulder blade.

"Is that a tattoo?" Baekhyun asked, tilting his head. "I didn't know you had a tattoo Kris."

"Yeah." Xiumin nodded. "Its pretty cool actually. You should show them." He said as he turned to face his Boss.

'No! No! No!' Tao mentally screamed. If Kris did that, it would mean that he would have to take of his tank top off, then exposing his upper half.

"Maybe next time." Kris chuckled. "Tao, come and help. Baekhyun and Chanyeol, just relax okay. We will prepare everything for you guys. Tao?"

"R-right!" Tao placed Kris' pants on the kitchen seat and helped Xiumin with the food, with Kris by his side. Baekhyun made his way to Chanyeol, sitting on his lap.

"I was scared there for a minute." Chanyeol said.

"Scared of what?"

"Baekyeol wanting to marry Kris…that was…really weird."

Baekhyun chuckled. "I think a little panda was jealous that our baby was paying attention to someone else."

"Well, I'm glad thats over." He nodded. "Because I am not letting him get married until he is 50."

"What if he proposes to a girl? You wouldn't let him marry then?"

"Ah," The two looked at the two kids sitting. Yitao was still resting his forehead on Baekyeol's shoulder, as Baekyeol continued to play with Yitao's hair. "I think that Baekyeol will get proposed to. I have a feeling our son will like a boy. I mean…our son will like a certain panda boy and vice versa." He chuckled.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Everyone was outside, eating great dishes made by Xiumin, Tao, and Kris. Sehun looked at the various balloons he and Chen bought from the store; he turned to Baekyeol and handed a balloon to the other. "Here you go Baekyeol."

"Thank you!" He beamed at the other. Yitao pouted and leaned his head on Baekyeol's shoulder. "You want a balloon?"

"Hm." Yitao shook his head. "Just sit here with me okay?"

Baekyeol giggled. "Okay."

The adults continued to eat and chat with one another. Soon, it was time to go home. Baekhyun picked up his tired son, who was sleeping on the couch with Yitao.

"Thanks guys for everything." Baekhyun adjusted his son in his arms.

"It was no problem." Chen said. "And again, congratulations."

"Thanks guys. Well, I'll see you guys tomorrow." Chanyeol nodded at his fellow friends. Kris lead them to the door, watching them get in their car and driving off. He closed the door and walked back to the living room where everyone was.

Tao lifted Yitao's head to rest on his lap. He the other's hair and hummed a bit. "So cute." He looked up. "Did anyone else think that Yitao was jealous when Baekyeol said that he wanted to marry Boss?"

"Wait, he said that?" Sehun asked.

"Hm." Tao nodded. "I thought it was adorable."

"True that. I'm so sure Yitao will fall for Baekyeol in the future." Xiumin chuckled. "Ah, so cute I just want to pinch them on the cheeks."

"How did you feel Boss?" Chen asked when he saw him sit down next to Tao.

"About Baekyeol wanting to marry me? I found it odd…but I guess flattering."

Tao chuckled at his Boss' remark; he continued to play with Yitao's hair until he felt the other stir in his sleep. The young panda then rose his head, squinting at his surroundings. He looked up at his 'mother' with a frown on his face.

"Where's Baekyeol?"

The panda smiled. "He already left with auntie and uncle."

Yitao yawned. "Why?"

"Because it is getting late. Baekyeol needs to sleep too."

"Why couldn't he sleep with me?" The young panda asked with a whiny tone.

"Ah…well, we can ask auntie and uncle if Baekyeol can sleep over next time. Hows that?"

The young panda nodded and rested his head on Tao's shoulder. "I'll put him to bed." With that, the panda stood up and headed to Yitao's room. Kris watched as the two ascend the stairs.

"So," Sehun started, making the dragon turn his head to face the gardener. "Are you…going to ask Tao now?"

"For what?"

Sehun rolled his eyes. "To ask him out. I know that you asked him…with that note. It was cute by the way."

"H-he told you?!"

"Duh! And I told them as well." He pointed at Xiumin and Chen, who were smiling at their Boss.

Kris groaned a bit, but shook it off. "I'll ask him when the time is right."

"Which right now would be perfect." Xiumin said. "I mean, I would ask if I was in your position."

The dragon hummed a bit. "You don't think he would reject me?"

"Oh my god." Chen stood up and walked over to his Boss; he pulled him up from the couch. "No, he won't reject you. Are you crazy? Go and get your princess. Jeez! Ask him now."

"B-but --"

"No, right now." Chen pointed up the stairs. "Go."

"Holy jeez." Sehun snorted. "Wow, I didn't know Chen was like that."

Kris started to go up the stairs, not wanting to get scolded by his chauffeur. 'Yah! Chen is right Kris! Time is now!' He made his way to Yitao's room, quietly peaking at the open door. He saw Tao tucking the other in while he hummed a tune.

"Mommy." Yitao said with a yawn.

"Yes?"

"I love you."

Tao, as well as Kris, smiled at what the young panda just said. "I love you too." Tao pecked the other's forehead. Yitao beamed.

"And daddy too right? Mommy loves daddy too?"

Kris' heart started to beat; he eager to know what Tao would say, but at the same time, nervous to hear his answer.

"Yes Yitao. Mommy loves daddy too." The panda smiled at the young one.

"A lot?" Yitao asked. "Like this big?" He demonstrated with his hands, holding them apart as far as he could. Tao chuckled a bit.

"Yes, that big. Now, go to sleep." Tao stood up and brushed the young panda's hair away from his eyes. Yitao did one last yawn before turning to his side. Tao started to walk over to Yitao's door to exit the room; Kris on the other hand realized that the other was coming.

'Oh !' He stepped back and tried to find a place to hide. Unfortunately for him, there was nothing that he could hide himself from the other. He could sprint to his room, but before he could even thinking of it, the door opened, revealing a very shocked panda.

"O-oh," Tao stepped forth and closed the door behind him. "What are you doing? You want to say good night to Yitao too?"

"A-ah…um, w-well n-no. I don't want to disturb him now."

"Oh, okay then." Tao nodded his head and walked passed the other, going down stairs to his room. The dragon's mind wanted to stop him and ask him right now if he would like to go on a date with him, but his body wasn't moving. He just continued to watch the other walk down the stairs. Before the dragon knew it, he was already gone.

"Damn it." Kris said softly as he smacked his forehead. 'I was slow…again!!'

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Tao pouted as he entered his room. He wondered why his Boss didn't ask him. The note wasn't too long ago, but he figured that he was trying to find the best way to ask him. The panda decided to let it slide and let the dragon go on his own pace. After all, he was single; there was no rush at all.

Kris tossed left and right on his bed; he checked his clock and it was 3: 54 in the morning. He just couldn't sleep.

'Okay! That is it!' He got up from his bed and made his way to the door. He couldn't hold it in anymore; if he was going to ask Tao he was going to do it now. No more being nervous, no more wasting time; time was now.

The dragon descended from the stairs; he made his way to the hallway where his employees stayed. Approaching a familiar door, he knocked the door. It took awhile for the other to open the door; Kris continued to knock on the door repeatedly.

Soon, a very tired panda opened the door. Tao yawned and rubbed his eye with his left hand. "Boss?" He looked over his shoulder and squinted to see the time. "Its…its almost 4 in the morning." He looked back at Kris. "Whats wrong?"

'Its now or never!' "Okay, Tao listen, I've been a in the past and I know that we said that everything was okay, but there is this one thing that I want to ask of you." Kris continued to rant, avoiding the real question that he wanted to ask Tao. For the panda, his eyes started to slowly close and he nodded his head. He couldn't really understand what his Boss was ranting about; he was extremely tired and he wanted to go back to sleep. "So now," Kris started. "I am going to ask you out on a date and I won't take no for an answer --"

"Okay."

"-- so tomorrow, I'll be taking…w-wait what did you say?"

Tao cutely yawned once again. "I said okay. I'll go on a date with you." He rested his head on the door frame with his eyes closed.

"Y-you said yes? Really?"

The panda nodded. "Yes, now can we go back to sleep? I'm really tired and you are too. When we wake up, we can go somewhere. Okay?"

Kris was awestruck; he got a yes from Tao, despite the fact that the other was pretty much out of it, but nonetheless, he got a yes from the panda.

"O-okay. I'll see you…when you wake up."

Tao nodded. "Night." With that, he gently closed the door. Kris stood in front of Tao's door, feeling a great wave of ease and excitement. He smiled to himself.

'I did it! I did it!'

With that, he turned around and left to go back to his room to sleep. After all, tomorrow he is going to take Tao on a date. 

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Kris looked at himself in the mirror, checking to make sure that he looked good. He felt nerves coming back, but there was no way that he was going to back out now. He just hoped that Tao didn't forget even though he was still sleepy.

The dragon turned around and did a double check on his outfit. He ended up wearing a 3/4-sleeve check shirt and a honeydew colored capris, accompanied by a light brown small belt. He exited his bathroom and opened his closet, grabbing a pair of black washed slip-ons.

'Okay, here we go.' With a nod, he left his room, making his way down stairs. As he approached the kitchen he saw his son on Tao's lap, laughing together at the kitchen. It was a cute scene, no doubt. Before he entered, he took out his phone and secretly took a photo of the two. He smiled at the photo and quickly saved to his photo library.

"Daddy!" The dragon looked up and smiled at his son, who hopped off from Tao's lap to greet his father. Kris caught his son as he lunged himself in his father's arms. "Good morning." Yitao gave his father a morning peck on the forehead.

"Good morning to you too." Kris adjusted his son in his arms and made his way over to Tao. "Where is everyone?"

"Xiumin and Chen are still sleeping. Sehun is outside doing more gardening stuff. Chanyeol, Baekhyun, and Baekyeol are coming over."

The young panda's head popped up once hearing the sound of the younger's name.

"Ah, okay."

"Hm." Tao nodded with a smile. "Ready?"

"Ready?" Kris blinked, making the other chuckle.

"You said that you wanted to take me out remember."

"Y-you remember all of that?" The dragon was happy to know that the other didn't forget. That was the last thing that he wanted.

"Of course. It was the most interesting way to ask someone on a date…coming at my door at 4 in the morning. But I remembered you asked me." He stood up and pushed the chair in. "Where are we going on this fine day?"

"Ah," 'Oh .' The dragon remembered that he didn't prepare anything for the day. 'Ah, son of a…I didn't plan anything!!' "U-um…" 'Think Kris! Think!!'

Tao gave a worried look at the other. "B-Boss…are you okay --"

"I got it!!" Kris said out loud, making the other jump a bit. "I, uh, hold on okay. I just need to make a phone call." Before Tao could say anything, Kris left the kitchen, grabbing his phone to make a call.

"Why was daddy acting funny?" Yitao asked, making Tao shrug.

"I don't know." He chuckled. "Daddy is funny huh?"

"Yeah. He is funny." Yitao giggled. "When is Baekyeol coming over?"

"Hm, soon." Tao leveled to be at the same height as the other. "You like Baekyeol now?"

"Hm." The young panda pursed his lips a bit. "He is okay. He used to bother me mommy."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, but he is okay now."

Tao patted the other on the head. "Well, thats good to know." By then, Kris came back with a satisfied look on his face. "What was that about?" Tao asked the taller.

"Just a quick call." He said. "Would you like to go? For our date I mean."

Tao smiled. "Sure. Where are we going?"

"Secret."

Yitao looked back and forth at the two adults. He pulled on Kris' hand, motioning for him to come closer. The dragon bent down, being at level with the other.

"Yes?"

"Where are you and mommy going?"

"Daddy is going on a date with mommy. We will be back soon."

"Oh." Yitao nodded. He placed his hands on Kris' face, looking straight at his eyes. "Take care of mommy for me please."

Kris smiled. "I will." He glanced up at Tao, who blushed a bit. The dragon stood up and patted his son on the head. "We will be going now okay. Be a good boy and play nicely with Baekyeol okay? Until then, stay with uncle Sehun first alright?"

"I will!" Yitao beamed at his father. Kris nodded, then looked over at Tao.

"Bring your passport."

"Huh?" Tao gave a puzzled look. "M-my passport?"

"Yup. And a small messenger bag if you want."

"Where are we --"

"You will soon find out soon." He smiled. "I'll meet you outside okay." Tao opened his mouth to speak, but Kris started to walk out from the kitchen.

"Er…o-okay?" Tao looked down at the young panda, who gave a shrug.

"Have fun with daddy, mommy!"

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

"So," Tao squinted at the plane in front of him. "Where are we going...exactly." He looked over his shoulder at Kris, who casual placed his hands in his pockets.

"You really want to know?" Tao nodded; he was getting curious now as to what Kris had planned for their date. "Nara."

"Nara?" Tao pondered a bit. 'Nara…Nara…isn't that in Japan?' "Nara…that is in Japan?"

Kris nodded. "We will being going to Nara."

"What?!" Tao was shocked. A simple walk in the park would have been great, or walking in the city together was good enough for him, but going to Japan, this was probably outrageous to do for a first date. "J-Japan." The panda stuttered. "Japan as in…Japan with Tokyo and Kyoto --"

"Yes, Tao." The dragon tried his best to hold in a laugh. "Japan that has Tokyo and Kyoto. But we will be landing in Osaka…then driving to Nara." Kris walked passed Tao, to the steps entering the plane. He held out his hand for the other to take. "Ready?"

"I-I…wha…r-really? We are really going to Japan?"

"We are." Kris leaned forward and gently grabbed onto Tao's hand, pulling him forward. "This is my private plane, so it will just be us two, my pilot and the steward." He led the other inside of the private plane.

"Good morning Sir." The steward bowed at two.

"Hello Kyungsoo." He pulled Tao forward. "This is Tao."

"Oh, yes." Kyungsoo smiled at the panda. "Jongin told me already. Nice to finally meet you. I'm Do Kyungsoo and I'll be your steward for the flight."

"N-nice to meet you too." Tao bowed at the other. Kyungsoo chuckled on how cute the panda was being.

"Well, everything is all set." Jongin approached the three. "If you are all ready, we can take off."

"Yeah." Kris placed his hand on Tao's waist, sending a slight shiver on Tao's back. "We can go now."

"Okay then." Jongin nodded and headed back to the control room. Kris guided the other to the seats. They sat down, waiting for the plane to go. Soon, the plane started to move and made its way up in the sky. Tao was still in awe.

'I'm…going to Japan. For real.'

"Are you excited?" Tao looked up at the dragon that was seated in front of him. He nodded.

"Yeah. I haven't been to Nara before…so this is my first time going."

The dragon smiled. "Then this is something you can cross off your list."

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

The panda jumped in his seat from excitement as he looked at the window. They arrived in Osaka not to long ago, and Kris rented a car for them to use.

"Boss, I'm still amazed that you can speak Japanese! How many do you know?"

"Well," Kris looked at his rear view mirror before changing lanes. "I know English, Korean, Mandarin…ah, Cantonese…French…Japanese…and Spanish." He glanced at Tao. "Being internationally known…I think it would be wise to know some languages. I want to learn German as well…and many more." He chuckled. "Now that I think about it…I have a knack for learning languages. I think they are fun to learn."

"Wish I was proficient in learning languages." Tao pouted. "It was a little difficult for me to learn Korean…but I was able to get through it. Finally." The dragon chuckled, making the other smile. "Wait," Tao started to tap his cheek. "The people...wouldn't they recognize you?"

"If anyone approaches us...I'll tell them to kindly leave us alone. Simple as that. If they don't," Kris shrugged. "Then they don't. I have a feeling that they won't."

Tao chuckled. "Whatever you say." He turned his head to face the window once again, looking at scenery. "Where are we going first?" Tao asked, not taking his eyes off from the scenery.

"Yakushi-ji."

"Yaku-what?"

"Yakushi-ji…one of the most famous imperial and ancient Buddhist temples in Japan."

"Whoa. I can't wait then." Tao smiled.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

"This is so cool!!" Tao looked around him. They arrived at Yakushi-ji and they walked around for a bit; they took pictures with their cell phones, since none of them brought their cameras. "Wow." Tao looked up at the temple. 'This is definitely amazing!!' He looked over his shoulder at his Boss. "Do you see this?"

"Yes Tao." The dragon chuckled. "I see it." He looked at his watch. "Tao."

The panda turned around to face the other. "Yeah?"

"Why don't we go to other site."

"Where?"

"Kasuga-taisha. It is Nara's most celebrated shrine. It is really beautiful…they have lanterns, the Kasuga Primeval forest, Kasua Taisha Shinen manyo botanical garden, and others. You want to go?"

Tao nodded. "Yeah." He placed his cell phone in his pocket and ran towards the dragon. Once he was close to the other, he wrapped his arm around the dragon's and intertwined their fingers together. Kris' heart began to beat, a little shocked at the panda's action, but nonetheless, it felt right.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

The two were sitting at a bench, eating their frozen treats. They managed to visit various places after visiting Kasuga-taisha, places like: Heijo Palace, Nara National museum, and even Shin-Yakushi-ji, despite the fact that they have been going back and forth, but still it was a fun day for the both of them. They decided to take a quick rest first, getting ice cream to cool them down from the heat.

"Oh." Kris grabbed a napkin from his lap. "You…um, ice cream on the corner of your lips." He handed the napkin to Tao, which he gladly took.

"Thank you." Tao childish wiped his mouth clean. "All gone?"

"Yeah, all gone."

They chatted for a bit until a young boy approached them, holding onto a bouquet. It was obvious that he was trying to sell the individual pieces to the people; he held one out to Kris and Tao. The young boy, speaking in Japanese, asked them if they wanted one. Kris kindly refused, answering for the other of them that they didn't want any. The young boy looked down on the ground with a sad expression, making Tao feel sad for the other.

"He is asking right? If we wanted to buy the flowers?" Tao asked, in which the dragon nodded.

"Yeah he is."

"I'll take one."

"But --"

"Please? He looks so sad." Tao looked over at the young boy, who looked back and forth at the two. "One won't hurt."

"Tao..."

"Its just a flower." The panda pouted at the other; Kris sighed and brought out his wallet, telling the young boy that he would buy the bouquet that he was holding. The young boy was shocked that Kris wanted to buy the whole thing; he was going to tell Kris the price, but before he could, Kris gave him more than the original price, telling him to keep the change.

The young boy nodded and thanked the other; he gave Kris the bouquet of flowers, who handed it to Tao. The panda gave a smile at the dragon and nodded at the boy. The young boy waved goodbye at the two and left.

"See." Tao looked at Kris. "That wasn't so hard…and thank you." He leaned over and gave a peck on Kris' cheek. With a flushed face, he turned around on the bench, his back facing towards the other. Tao giggled a bit and continued to eat his ice cream.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Kris and Tao decided to go one more place before they go back to Korea. Kris suggested to go to Nara park, where the shika deers were.

"Thank you." Kris said in Japanese to the vendor that was selling deer-crackers. He walked back to Tao, who was taking pictures of the deer. "Tao, here." He placed the plastic bag of the deer crackers in his hands.
 
"For me to eat?"

"No." He chuckled. "For the deers. You can feed them."

"Oh! How cool!" Tao looked around to find a deer to feed. He made his way to the deer and held out the cracker. "Here little deer…here you go. Hungry?"

The deer titled its head and slowly approached the other; the deer bit onto the cracker, making Tao all excited. He looked over his shoulder, asking Kris if he saw the deer eating the cracker he gave him.

"Yes Tao…I saw him." The dragon chuckled. He leaned back to sit on a wooden post; he continued to watch the other. He smiled, knowing very well that Tao was having a lot of fun, as well as himself. 'I should have asked him out a long time ago.' Kris stood up and dusted his capris; he went over to Tao, watching him as he fed another cracker to the deer.

"I have one left." Tao said as he turned around to face the taller. "These deers like to eat."

"Yeah they do."

The deer was waiting for Tao to feed him, but was getting impatient when the panda decided to talk a bit longer to the dragon. Annoyed, he nudged Tao making him go forth in the arms of Kris.

"Ah! S-sorry." Tao blushed a bit; he looked over his shoulder at the deer. "T-that wasn't nice." He said to the deer, but instead the deer tilted its head.

Kris chortled at the two; he grabbed the last cracker that was in Tao's hand. He wrapped his free arm around Tao's waist, bringing him close, making the other blush immensely. Kris then slightly moved Tao to the side, without letting his arm lift off from his waist; he leaned over and gave the deer the cracker.

"Here you go."

The deer took it and started to munch on the treat.

"There." Kris leaned back, standing up straight. "He is all happy now." He said, casually wrapping his arms around Tao's waist. Despite having overheating cheeks, Tao tried to remain calm.

Looking into each other's eyes wasn't helping their heart beat slow down, nor their cheeks stop from being red.

'Now or never.'

Kris could feel his heart race. It was definitely now. He closed his eyes as he leaned forward, placing his lips on Tao's.

Caught slightly off guard, Tao felt that his heart would actually fall off from his chest. Instead of pushing the other back, he placed his left hand on Kris' chest and his right on the back of Kris' neck, pulling him in more for the kiss.

It felt wonderful for both, and more importantly it felt right. Kris slowly pulled back and rest his forehead on Tao's. Slowly, both of them tried to catch their breaths. A smile was slowly forming on the dragon's lips. He was going to say something, but before he could, the deer nudged Tao forward once again, making Tao's lips land on the other's.

Immediately, Tao pulled back blushing immensely. "S-sorry!" He looked over his shoulder to scold the little deer when he widen his eyes that the deer started to munch on the flowers that Kris bought from the young boy. "Y-yah! Those are mine!" He tried to swing his messenger bag away from the deer since his flowers were peaking out from the bag. "No." Tao whined as he brought the bag up, inspecting the flowers a bit. "T-the deer…ate my flowers!"

Kris bit his lip, trying to hold in a laugh. "They are just flowers --"

"Just flowers? They are flowers that you gave me!" The panda whined at his loss of flowers. "Why?!"

"Ah, why don't we go home…and I'll buy you flowers then."

Tao sniffed a bit, but nodded in reply. "O-okay."

Kris took a hold of Tao's hand and started to lead him. Tao looked over his shoulder and stuck his tongue out at the deer, which ended up being a bad idea considering the deer ran after Tao. With quick steps, he sprinted ahead of Kris, telling him that he will meet him at the car. The dragon laughed as the deer chased him out.

'Ah, Tao…so cute.'

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

"Thank you for today." Tao said as he situated himself in his seat of Kris' private plane. It was now 9pm and they were ready to go back home. "It was really nice…and this was just a first date too!" He clapped. "But really…thank you for everything today."

Kris nodded. "No problem."

"Are we ready?" Kyungsoo asked looking at the two.

"Yeah, we are ready." Kris replied, making the steward nod.

"Okay. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. I'll tell Jongin that we are ready." With that Kyungsoo made his way to the control room.

It took awhile for the plane to start, but soon they were up in the air. It was quiet among them, Kris looking out the window, while Tao fiddled with his fingers. The panda sighed.

"Um, Kris."

"Hm?" Kris turned his head to face the other. "Yes?"

"Are we…y-you know." Tao started to blush. "Well, um --"

"In a relationship now?"

"Ah…erm, yeah."

"I would like to be in one with you. Is that okay?"

"Yes! I-I mean, yes." Tao nodded his head. He started to smile; he was now in a relationship with him, the person of his dreams. Kris returned the smile and leaned forward to give Tao a kiss. It surprised him for a moment, but soon, Tao started to relax and kiss back.

Kris pulled back and pecked the panda on the nose, making him giggle. They sat for a while, until spoke again.

"Y-you want to know why I came back? Like for real."

"Hm?" Kris shifted in his seat. "Um, if you want to tell me. I won't force it out of you."

"I'll tell you. Um, the reason why I came back to Korea was because…I came to a realization."

"A…realization?"

Tao nodded. "Yeah. Um, that…I-I still loved you."

Kris widen his eyes. "You still had feelings for me? E-even though you were with Aaron?"

"Yeah." He bit his lips. "The time that you got drunk…you confessed to me."

"I-I did?"

"Hm." Tao nodded. "You did…and honestly…I was a little confused a-and angry. You tell me to not fall in love or have feelings for you, but here you are…telling me that you loved me. I was trying really hard to respect your wishes that time…to stop having these feelings…but they wouldn't go away." The panda let out a shaky breath. "So you did…really…love me. R-right?"

Kris looked down on the floor of his private plane. He was starting to feel bad for all he has done in the past. How he wished that he can go back in time, realize his feelings for the other, and make everything right. Kris looked at the other's eyes; he simply gave a nod. "Yes I did…I did started to have feelings for you. But I was just too stupid to realize it or…I guess accept it. I'm sorry."

Tao gave a chuckle and shook his head. "What is done…is done. But like I said, deep down in my heart…a part of you still held on. I guess my heart didn't want to let you go you know. So, I had to break it off with Aaron…I didn't want him to get hurt at all. It was for the best. He looked so sad, but he is a strong person…he will find someone for him." He smiled once again, a smile that Kris can never get tired of. "So I can call you my boyfriend now?"

The dragon smiled and nodded to Tao's question. "Yes. We are now boyfriends." Tao clapped with excitement, making the other chuckle at his cuteness. "Ah, Tao," The panda looked at the dragon. "I love you."

Tao felt his heart rapidly beat. 'He said it…h-he said it!' He did a couple of blinks and asked Kris again what he just said, to make sure that his hearing didn't go bad.

"I said…I love you Tao."

It was true; Tao couldn't believe it. "I love you too."

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Kris was driving himself and Tao back to the mansion. Everything that happened today was very eventful. It would be a trip that he will never forget. Kris glanced over at Tao, who was looking out his window. He briefly looked down to see the other's hand just laying on his lap. He gently took Tao's hand and intertwined their fingers together.

The panda was caught off guard, but slowly smiled at the dragon.

As Kris continued to drive, Tao started to chuckle.

"Whats so funny?" The dragon asked as he glanced over at the other.

"I um, remembered the confession that you did."

"Oh?"

"I meant the one on the television."

"Ha?! You saw that?!"

"Yes I did."

"T-that means…you were here when I was in…in New York?"

"Pretty much here when you left for New York. I just hid in my room the whole time." He giggled. "It was sweet if you wanted to know. And I did watch the fashion show case that you and the others did." Tao smiled. "Fashion line T.A.O huh?"

Kris started to blush. "Y-yeah. F-for you."

"I know." Tao leaned over, resting his head on the other's shoulder. "Thank you. That was sweet of you to do."

"To show that I still loved you. My mind was filled with you twenty-four-seven…I just couldn't stop thinking about you."

Tao hummed. "Neither could I." He said softly.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

They arrived at the mansion, already being 10:30 at night. Once Kris opened the door, the two were greeted by Yitao.

"Mommy! Daddy!" He jumped in his father's arms. "Welcome home! Did mommy and daddy miss me?"

"Of course we did." Tao said, kissing the young panda's cheek.

"Welcome home guys." Xiumin greeted the two. "How was Japan?"

"It was great." Tao told the chef. "A memory that I will never forget."

Kris placed his son down on the floor and patted his head. "Next time…we will all go to Japan together."

"Yay!" Yitao jumped in the air.

Kris chuckled at his son's actions. "Now, it is past your bed time Yi--oh. Wait...I forgot something."

"Hm?" Tao raised his eyebrow. "Forgot what?"

"Ah, I'll be back okay. It will be quick."

"Hm." Tao started to rub his eye. "Okay."

"You're tired. Go to bed okay." The panda was going to speak, but before he could, Kris waved goodbye and headed back to the front door, outside to his car. "Um…okay." He looked back at Xiumin and shrugged. "I guess he left something at the plane."

"Hm. So…you had fun?"

Tao smiled. "Yeah."

"He confessed?"

The panda blushed, yet nodded. "Yeah."

Xiumin beamed and patted the other on the back. "Congratulations! Everything came out perfect yeah?"

Tao chuckled. "Yes it did. I wasn't expecting it now…I figured that he needed time."

"Well, it went out well. Now, you and Yitao need to go get some sleep." The chef looked at the young panda, who smiled at him. "Right?"

"Yeah!" Yitao lifted his arms up to Tao, who picked him up.

"I'll put him to bed." Tao said to the chef.

"Alright. Good night." Xiumin nodded his head and started to head to his and Chen's room.

Tao made his way up the stairs and to Yitao's bedroom. He tucked him in and placed a kiss on the other's forehead. "Good night Yitao…sweet dreams okay." With that he stood up, but Yitao grabbed his hand, pulling him back down.

"Can mommy stay with me for a bit?"

Tao chuckled. "Sure."

Yitao beamed and scooted for the other to lay. The two pandas lay next to each other, soon drifting off to sleep.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Kris peaked inside Yitao's bedroom; he chuckled softly at the scene that was in front of him. His two pandas sleeping soundly together.

'Ah, there you are.'

Quietly, he made his way over to his son's bed; he picked up his more grown panda bridal style and exited his son's room. Carefully as he could, he went down the stairs and to Tao's room. He opened the door and placed Tao on his bed.

'Must have passed out. Today was a lot.' He brushed some strands away from Tao's sleeping eyes. He smiled and placed a kiss on his head, his nose, and on his lips. 'Good night.' Kris smiled once more and glanced at Tao's night stand. 'I hope that you like them.' With that, he left.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

"Hm." Tao stretched a bit and turned over to his side. He patted on the bed and furrowed his brow. 'Where is Yitao?' He patted once more and soon he opened his eyes. "Oh." Slowly he sat up. "I'm in my room." The panda scratched his head. "How --"

His eyes widen once he saw on his night stand were 48 stems of 24 inch premium long stemmed roses in a green tea colored vase. Tao crawled over to his night stand touching each rose with caution. 'They are so pretty…but who --'

"Ah, why don't we go home…and I'll buy you flowers then."

'--oh…' Tao smiled to himself. 'Ah, that is why Kris left once we got home. I guess the deer did a good thing eating my flowers.' He chuckled to himself and got off from his bed. 'But how did he buy...oh, of course...24 hour convience stores. Ah, he is very sweet indeed.'

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

A weeks has passed and the newly formed couple were always radiating with happiness. It felt as if the mansion was brighter than before, more calm and filled with joy.

Everyone except for Sehun and Baekhyun were in the living room, chatting and relaxing with one another.

"Yah! Daddy you cheated!" Yitao pointed at his father. The young panda along with Baekyeol, Kris, and Chanyeol were playing a little game; it was sons versus their fathers, and for sure the young panda believed that his father was cheating.

"I wasn't cheating." Kris shook his head childishly. "See." He showed his son the card, making Yitao pout.

"Hm. Fine. Candyland is hard! We aren't having any luck Baekyeol!"

"We will get them next time! For sure!" Baekyeol said, making Kris and Chanyeol laugh.

Tao smiled at the scene before him; he let out a content breath.

'Everything seems so in place. I hope nothing will ruin this.' He beamed. 'Everything just seems so right.'

They continued to relax until Sehun came running towards them having this frantic look on his face.

"Tao!!"

Everyone raised their eyebrow at the gardener.

"S-Sehun what's wron--"

"Luhan!!" He held out his cellphone towards the other.

"M-my brother? Why do --"

"Its your brother just please answer him!!"

Tao was utterly confused as to what was going on. How did Sehun have his elder brother's number? He grabbed onto Sehun's cellphone. "Luhan?"

"T-Tao?"

'He seems so distraught.' "Luhan…whats --"

Tao was cut off by his elder brother. All Tao could do was listen to what his brother had to say. Slowly, the panda's expression started to fall and his eyes started to grow wide in horror. Kris took note of it and stood up from where he was sitting.

'Whats going --'

Soon, the drop of the cell phone hit the granite floors. Sehun would have reacted, but his expression was more focused on Tao.

"T-Tao?" Xiumin was getting worried. He tried to place his hand on the other's shoulder. Instead of verbally saying something, Tao let out tears fall from his eyes.

"My father…m-my father..."
