"What is love for you?"

"Love for me, love is a choice. You decide whether you'll accept her flaws or love her just for her appearance. Because when you see something from her that turns you off, you lose that interest you once had for her. So love is a choice because you chose to accept all her flaws and love her for her entire existence." 

Chanyeol nods, taking note of the interviewee's words. He then glances at the camera to make sure it's still recording.

"Have you ever went through a heart break?"

"Never."

Chanyeol purses his lips, nodding slightly. He stops recording, standing up to bow politely. "Thank you sir for sparing your time." Chanyeol says, smiling at the interviewee.

The interviewee laughs, "My pleasure. I'll return to work now." The interviewee bows as well as a sign of respect, now leaving to go back to work.

Jae fixes his glasses, grabbing the tripod and the boom mic. "Hyung, where are we going to eat?" Jae asks while stuffing the equipment in it's bag.

Chanyeol puts his notebook into his backpack, swinging the bag onto his shoulder. He then adjusts the straps.

"It's up to you. Where do you want to eat?" Chanyeol asks, grabbing the camera and putting it in it's bag.

"I want to eat at a barbeque." Jae says, carrying the equipment. Chanyeol laughs, walking towards Jae. He swings an arm around Jae's neck and ruffles his hair.

"Barbeque it is!"

"Classes dismissed"

The sound of cheerful chatter and chairs screeching against the floor can be heard through out the room. Baekhyun being the quiet one he is, he waits for everybody to leave first before he stands and packs up.

Jisoo and Joohyuk approach Baekhyun, sitting beside him. "Baek, want to go and eat out? It's Joohyuk's treat!" Jisoo exclaims. Joohyuk hits Jisoo's head, "Yah, don't dream too much. It's just for today since I feel good."

Baekhyun just laughs at the two giants, he stands up and starts to put his books into his bag. 

"So, what do you want Baek?" Joohyuk asks, resting his chin on top of the palm of his hand. 

Baekhyun sighs, "I'm not really in the mood to go out and eat right now so I'll just go back to the dorms." Baekhyun says, smiling cutely at his best friends.

Jisoo sighs, "Bye Hyung!" Jisoo shouts, waving goodbye at Baekhyun.

Baekhyun walks out of the campus, wanting to get a quick bite. He lied about not being hungry earlier to his two best friends since he didn't really want to eat with anyone.

He rarely eats out with his friends since he loves to be alone at times. And right now is the time that he wants be alone.

Baekhyun enters a convenience store, he walks towards the candy section to grab a few bars of chocolate. He also stops by the chips section, grabbing some cheese chips.

He pays for his items, walking out of the convenience store. He starts to munch on the chocolate bar. 

He was too busy with his chocolate bar, not noticing that he already bumped into someone. Baekhyun's eyes widen, immediately bowing as a sign of apology. "I'm so sorry, sir!" Baekhyun says, with fear all over his face, afraid that the person he bumped into might be a bad guy.

Chanyeol nods, "It's alright." Chanyeol says with a soft smile while Jae just glares at Baekhyun. 

Baekhyun bows once again to show that he's really sorry. He then runs off in the distance, embarrassed.

Chanyeol stares at the direction where Baekhyun ran off. Jae starts to drag Chanyeol, "Hyung, let's go and eat barbeque!" Jae says, dragging his brother to the barbeque restaurant.

But Chanyeol just stares at the direction where Baekhyun ran off, smiling widely.

Jae starts to snap his fingers in front of Chanyeol's face, getting quite annoyed with Chanyeol. "Hyung, start eating. The beef will get cold." Jae says, putting the freshly grilled meat on Chanyeol's plate.

Chanyeol then laughs, "I would like to interview that boy, it looks like he knows a lot about love." Chanyeol grabs his chopsticks and starts to eat.

Jae sighs, "It seems like you've fallen in love already. Stop falling in love instantly, who knows, he might break your heart and then you're just going to sulk for who knows how long." Jae says, receiving death glares from Chanyeol. 

"Look hyung, I'm just being honest. I don't want to go through another sad Park Chanyeol era, it's boring." Jae says, stuffing his face with the wrapped lettuce.

Chanyeol sighs, "We're still going to try and interview him. So our search starts tomorrow." Chanyeol says, taking a shot of soju.

Jae sighs, "If that's what you want, hyung. Then let's do it." Jae says, eating more and more while Chanyeol drinks more and more.

Baekhyun slumps his body on his bed, trying to erase the events from earlier. While doing that, Jisoo enters the room. "Hyung! I'm here! Too bad you weren't with us earlier, Joohyuk really went all the way out with his money!" Jisoo says while laughing. 

Baekhyun sighs, standing up from bed. "You're drunk again, Ji." Baekhyun then walks towards Jisoo and helps him walk towards his bed.

"What? No I'm not! I'm perfectly sober! Look!" Jisoo then strongly pulls his arm from Baekhyun and starts to dance, obviously drunk.

Baekhyun just laughs, "Now there, stop that and go to sleep. I'll prepare your hangover meal tomorrow. I'll make sure to kill Joohyuk." Baekhyun says, putting Jisoo on his bed, putting the blankets over Jisoo's body.

"Good night!" Jisoo says, a giggle following after.

Baekhyun nods, going back on his bed to sleep soundly.
