"B-baekhyun?" Hyun questioned, but it came out more like a statement. After a while of deliberation, he decided that he sort of fancied the way it rolled off his tongue. Huirin had somehow incorporated his actual name without losing its shine. "Baekhyun" he repeated, this time with more affirmity. "Baekhyun."

Luhan chuckles. "That'll be nice. If we pass on before you, make sure to put a bunch of baby breath on top of my grave"

"I want you to plant some strawberries on top of my grave!" Huirin piped. "So that I'm never hungry!"
Luhan groans once again.
This time, Baekhyun laughs.

"Um ok" Baekhyun mutters. "I guess it doesn't matter who... but how?"
"Magic" Luhan simply states as he finished wiping down the tab
