Chanyeol smiled as he watched Baekhyun get the hang of the game again and helped when he needed it, he could tell that Baekhyun was having fun as well which made him feel like he had actually succeeded somehow. Baekhyun hadn't thought he would have this much fun again but thanks to Chanyeol he was able to actually fun the fun in bowling once again.

"You've finally got the hang of it, should we start the game then?" Chanyeol asked as he smiled at Baekhyun wanting to play finally even though that wasn't the only reason he was here for. Chanyeol wanted to get Baekhyun to trust him more and actually open up to more about himself.

"Yes let's play! I've got the hang of it now...how about we do a bet?" Baekhyun asked as he looked at Chanyeol with a happy grin since he hadn't done something like that in years. Chanyeol looked at Baekhyun seeing the happy grin and couldn't bring himself to say no to him since he looked happy.

"OK, what should we net on then?" Chanyeol asked as he sat down just looking at Baekhyun with a smile not leaving his face as he waited for his answer. Baekhyun thought to himself as he hummed in thought about what they should bet on on before smiling brightly looking back at Chanyeol holing that his idea would be good enough.

"How about the loser of the first round has to buy drinks,the loser of the second round has to buy dinner and the loser of the third round has to drive us home?" Baekhyun asked tilting his head slightly liking the idea of someone having to pay depend on how many games they lose. Chanyeol looked at Baekhyun as he thought about what he said before nodding liking the idea a lot.

"OK, that sounds good to me, so the person that loses all three games has to pay for the drinks and food and also drive us home right?" Chanyeol asked with a smirk knowing that Baekhyun hadn't thought that far ahead and wanted to see what kind of reaction he would have if he herd that.  Baekhyun had frozen when he herd what Chanyeol had said realising that he walked into his own made trap without thinking and pouted slightly.

"Yeah I know, that's why I said it you know" Baekhyun said trying to hide the fact that he didn't have any idea until Chanyeol told him. Chanyeol did his best to hold off  the laughter at how stubborn and cute he was at that moment even though he knew that Baekhyun had no idea that he keeps at all.

"I see, well should we get started then Baekhyun? There's no turning back now so it's all or nothing" Chanyeol said as he looked for the perfect bowling ball for him before sitting down since it was Baekhyuns turn first. Baekhyun frowned slightly as he also looked for the right bowling ball for himself before standing ready waiting for the pins to be put down, he looked back at Chanyeol with a grin ready to go.

"I already know that Chanyeol, you should be ready to" Baekhyun said as he noticed that he could start now, he walked up to the line and throw the bowling ball down the lane watching closely only to frown slightly when he only knocked four down, he grabbed another ball and did the same again once again knocking four down and turned around annoyed that he couldn't do better then that. Chanyeol smiled slightly since this was the first time he saw Baekhyun like this.

"Not bad Baekhyun, it's been a while since you played so it's only natural that you played like that" Chanyeol said in a more playful and teasing manner then a comforting one which he knew would make Baekhyun more determine to do better and prove him wrong. Baekhyun starred at Chanyeol with a glare wanting to prove him wrong and to show him that he was better then that.

"Just you wait Chanyeol, I'll show you how good I am" Baekhyun grumbled as he crossed his arms watching Chanyeol quietly thinking of where he should role the ball to hit the pins perfectly. Chanyeol grinned as he got ready before throwing the ball gently but with enough strength to actually knock down 7 pins in one hit and taking the overs out with his next throw earning a spare which surprised Baekhyun which Chanyeol could clearly see when he turned around.

"I'll be watching then Baekhyun, show me how good you are" Chanyeol again as he sat down and watched Baekhyun you see how he would do this time. Baekhyun was fired up because of Chanyeol and wanted to prove him wrong, this time he also managed to get a spare which gave him more confidence that he could beat Chanyeol.

Chanyeol could tell that Baekhyun was getting better and better with each go and had to keep his gard up since he was better then he had thought he would be. Baekhyun was enjoying himself as he played with everything he had not wanting to lose to Chanyeol which he was sure Chanyeol could see all over his face and the way he was playing.

The game went on for what seemed like hours until the winner was decided and the result was actually  surprising. Baekhyun grinned happily as they walked our of the wiling ally and turned to face Chanyeol the smile never leaving his face once.

"I'll buy the drinks and the rest is up to you" Baekhyun said brightly not expecting to win two of the three games they had played, he happily glad skipped and half ran over to where they where going to eat. Chanyeol let out a sigh and shock his head not believing that he had lost twice to someone that hasn't played in who knows how long but he wasn't going to complain since he got to see Baekhyun smile brightly which is rare for him to see.

"OK, just don't go crazy with the food, there's only a certain amount I can afford ok?" Chanyeol admitted honestly as he followed after Baekhyun and chuckled at how happy he looked, he waited inside and found a table away from everyone else since it seemed that Baekhyun liked that. Baekhyun followed after Chanyeol and realised what he was doing and smiled softly since he had done this for him, he hoped that he wasn't causing any problems for Chanyeol by doing this.

"So Baekhyun, what do you want?...my treat since I'm paying" Chanyeol asked with a smile as he looked at Baekhyun once again. Baekhyun came out of his thoughts at the question Chanyeol had asked before looking through the menu that was in front of him.

"Let's have BBQ, I haven't had that in a while...if that's OK?" Baekhyun asked once again closing.himself of not sure if it was OK for him to use Chanyeols money or even be this close to him since he had trust issues thanks to what happened in his past.

"Baekhyun it's fine, I want to do.this for you since you came out with me...you don't have to worry anymore, I'd there's something you need or need help with I'll be there to help" Chanyeol said seriously as he looked straight at Baekhyun not even looking away when they made eye contact. Baekhyun looked at Chanyeol surprised that he was looking into his eyes, he could tell that Chanyeol had ment every word he had just said and couldn't help but smile feeling like a huge weight had been lifted off of his shoulders just by those simple words.

"Thank you Chanyeol...I'm sorry I've been alone for a while now that I forgot that it's OK to ask others for help" Baekhyun admitted as he put the menu down after chosing everything he wanted. Chanyeol could tell that what he had said had helped Baekhyun relax and look more free then he was before, he hoped he could become the person that Baekhyun could trust to tell what was on his mind not matter what it was he was hiding.

"It's not problem Baekhyun, I just want to help you in anyway I can" Chanyeol said with a smile before he told the waiter what they wanted once he had come to take their order. Baekhyun felt a little more comfortable around Chanyeol that he let his gard down more since he wanted to trust someone for once and also to enjoy today for once.

"Anyway, what did you think of today? I had a lot of fun and would love to do this some other time to" Chanyeol admitted since it was more fun being around Baekhyun then being alone. Baekhyun looked back to Chanyeol and nodded slightly actually liking the idea of the both of them hanging out once again together.

"Of course, I would really like that since I never really have gone out that much since the twins came into my life, not that I'm complaining I love them more them anything in the world and wouldn't change that girl the world" Baekhyun said honestly with a soft smile on his face before looking down at his hands playing with his fingers. Chanyeol could tell that Baekhyun loved the twins with his whole heart, he could tell that if anything would happen to the twins he would break.

"I know Baekhyun, you don't have to explain what you ment" Chanyeol said with a sift smile of his own, he may not know what it was like to have a family of his own but he could tell just by looking at Baekhyun that he cared for the twins more then his own wellbeing. Baekhyun looked back up to Chanyeol before smiling slightly as the drinks that he had ordered came.

"Thank you Chanyeol, I've done my part of the bet now so it's all down to you" Baekhyun said with a grin before  he toke a sip of his coke since he wasn't really the type to drink alcohol, since he had the twins that is. Chanyeol rolled his eyes at what Baekhyun had said but couldn't help but smile, he also only had a coke since he had to drive them home even if Baekhyun new how to drive since he had lost the bet earlier.

"Well I guess you'll have to pay the next time we go out" Chanyeol said once again teasing Baekhyun, he didn't know why but he found it fun teasing him and seeing his reactions. Baekhyun looked at Chanyeol in surprise before frowning slightly when he realised that Chanyeol was teasing him again.

"You really like teasing me don't you?" Baekhyun mumbled slightly as he drank his coke looking around the place wondering when the food would come out, that was until his eyes met with a familiar persons face and quickly looked away trying to act normal. Chanyeol had noticed the change in Baekhyun and woundered what had happened since he had gone pale all of a sudden.

"Yes I do like teasing you, I like to see your reactions. Baekhyun what's wrong you suddenly went pale?" Chanyeol asked as little worried about him and wanted to help somehow. Baekhyun toke another sip of his coke looking back at Chanyeol give a slight smile although he know Chanyeol wasn't that easily fooled.

"It's nothing really, the food is here anyway so let's eat" Baekhyun said when he saw the waiter walking over with everything they ordered glad that they had come at that moment and started to cook the meat. Chanyeol mentally groaned since he wanted to know but decided to leave it as he also got ready to eat as the food was put on the table, Chanyeol watched Baekhyun start to cook the meat that's when he realised that his thoughts where a lot deeper then he thought they where.

"The meat will be ready soon, eat as much as you want" Baekhyun said to break the awkward silence between then also hoped that he wasn't spotted by the other person. Chanyeol couldn't help chuckle at what Baekhyun has said since it had sounded cute and also a little forced but he didn't mind at all.

"Great! I can't wait" Chanyeol said back as he started to way some of the side dishes as he waited for the meat and began to watch Baekhyun closely as he cooked. Baekhyun could feel two pairs of eyes on him, the first one was obviously Chanyeol since it was coming from In front of him, the other came from across the room from them and he instantly knew who it was and hoped he wouldn't come over and talk to him.

The both of them ate and talked about random things since Baekhyun didn't like the silence between them, everything was going just fine as they ate together laughing, even when they had finished eating and leaving the restaurant after paying. But as they where about to walk out the door to leave someone else had walked over and stood in their way stopping them from leaving.

"Hello Baekkie, it's been a long time hasn't it?" The man in front of them said with a smile which showed that he was up to nothing good. Baekhyun had stopped on the spot looking everywhere but at the man standing in front of him, if anything Baekhyun was scared of him and it showed on his face and his body language.

"And you are?" Chanyeol asked getting protective over Baekhyun when he had noticed how scared he looked in that moment, but he could guess who it was by seeing Baekhyuns reaction but he just wanted to make sure he was right. Baekhyun slowly moved so he was slightly behind Chanyeol so he would feel even a little less scared then before.

"Oh so he didn't tell you? I'm his ex-husband and the father of the twins, my name is Sehun" the name standing in front of them said taking Chanyeol by surprise, looking at Baekhyun shocked since he had only said about him being the father of the twins and nothing about him being his ex-husband. Baekhyun looked down not wanting it to be reviled like that to Chanyeol he wanted to tell him everything when he was ready to, he didn't know what to do and just wanted to hide somewhere.

"Chanyeol let's go, I don't want to see him anymore" Chanyeol could tell that Baekhyun was getting nervous and knew that he would tell him everything when he was ready. Without warning he held onto Baekhyuns wrist gently and walked away ignoring Sehun behind and walked out of the restaurant. Baekhyun looked at Chanyeol a little surprised but didn't complain since he was away from him, he lowered his head feeling bad that Chanyeol had your see him.

"Baekhyun? It's fine I know you will tell me when your ready to, I mean we're friends right?" Chanyeol said and smiled softly at Baekhyun to show that it was fine even though he was a little annoyed at the way he had found out. Baekhyun looked at Chanyeol thinking of how he didn't deserve a friend like Chanyeol after all the lies he has told and all the secrets he had kept from him and even his own family, tears slowly began to form in his eyes as he looked down to silently cry as he left Chanyeol gently pull him to the car.

"Thank you, Chanyeol" was all Baekhyun could say as they walked to the car, he didn't want Chanyeol to see him like this since he always looked so strong on the outside. Chanyeol could tell that Baekhyun was crying but he knew that Baekhyun didn't like sympathy so he just walked even though it broke his heart to see him like that.

"There's no need to thank me Baekhyun, I'll always be here when you need someone to talk to someone don't worry" Chanyeol replied glad that he had been a help to Baekhyun even if it was just a little to make Baekhyun open up to him. Baekhyun just walked in silence after want Chanyeol said thinking of what he should tell Chanyeol and what he should leave out but in the end he decided to start from the beginning with his very first love.

Baekhyun knew that it was going to be hard talking about his past but he knew that he would have to to talk about it sooner or later, and maybe now was better the any since he herd that if you take about stuff that bothers you it helps you handle it better. Chanyeol didn't know anything about Baekhyun so he won't preperd for what Baekhyun was going to tell him, or how dark it was and how scared he was just to think about it.
