          It was a couple days after Chanyeol's death that Junmyeon announced that they all had to go to a memorial concert in his name that day. Everyone was reluctant to go, but Baekhyun was by far the most reluctant while wishing that he could just disappear. He didn't want to relive those memories of Chanyeol just yet. Maybe another day, but not that one.

After much fussing, he eventually got ready in a nice casual suit that was a present from Chanyeol years ago. He even managed to find those elemental power rings from their debut days and wore his star ring and Chanyeol's Phoenix ring on the same hand. This would be how he forever reminds himself of the one he found and lost.

Standing on stage with the other members, Baekhyun never felt more alone. The fans all around had signs saying sorry about Chanyeol and for them to stay strong. It was painful to see everyone crying out in the audience. They were just as affected by Chanyeol's death as EXO themselves were.

Right as the members were thinking they were about to introduce themselves, an all to familiar voice echoed out throughout the speakers of the large stadium.

"Hello there everyone! Hey guys on stage, yeah you dweebs, turn around!"

Baekhyun and the other members whipped around to see a large projection of a video Chanyeol took from when he was in the hospital on the back wall of the main stage. "Now I bet you're all looking at me scared, well, I'm actually dead so don't get any hopes." He laughed dryly.

Cries from the audience grew louder as they saw Chanyeol's beautiful smile. Even Baekhyun could feel his composure slipping.

"Now before anyone freaks, let me just say that I made this entire video while in the hospital. That's why, my beloved Baekhyunnie, I couldn't let you come and see me... I hope you don't hate me for it!"

He could never hate him. Not in a million years.

"Also Mama Suho helped put this concert thingy together and also edited in the final clips to this video since I took it the night I passed away so everyone better thank him! But as much as I love all of you out there, EXO idio- I mean brothers and fans alike, I have an announcement to make on behalf of myself and the love of my life.

BYUN BAEKHYUN AND I ARE IN LOVE!

Wow that felt good to scream, but I probably shouldn't have done that in a hospital huh?" Chanyeol chuckled while a nurse came into his room and shushed him. "See told you.~"

Kyungsoo and Jongdae walked on either side of Baekhyun and held his hands as he tried not to cry. But seeing Chanyeol, hearing his voice, and just having him there once again was bringing those damn tears back.

"Now it's time for my slide show! I'll talk more after my videos alright? So don't worry, I'll be back in a bit.~"

That part of the video clipped out and another took it's place. It was of the first night when Baekhyun and him had wandered off to the park late at night. When did Chanyeol bring a camera with him?

"I have to be quiet." Chanyeol giggled as he took a video of Baekhyun sleeping in his arms on the grassy ground. "But isn't he just adorable? I'm so lucky to have you Baekhyunnie."

Another clip then appeared.

          The first thing that showed up was that beautiful sunset the two of them watched that one morning. "Hey Baek, do you see this sunrise? I wish we could watch it together! But I don't want to wake you while you sleep in my bed..."
