Chanyeol smiles widely when he leaves the movie house, but a dark aura greets him. Jae glares at his brother.

"I hate you hyung."

"Oh shut up, you're going to love me since I always buy you food." Chanyeol says, wrapping an arm around his brother's shoulder, dragging him outside.

Jae rolls his eyes, "Will we film anything today?" Jae asks, struggling to get out from the grip of his brother around his neck.

Chanyeol shakes his head, images of Byun Baekhyun flooding into his head.

"But we do have a scheduled interview tomorrow and that's it so far." Chanyeol says, still dragging Jae with his arm.

"Hyung, we have a photo shoot at my college next week. They want you to take our pictures, so will you be able to attend?" Jae asks, asking nicely and it makes Chanyeol laugh.

"It's funny to see your attitude change when you need something." Chanyeol says, tapping his chin with his finger.

"Hyung! Just tell me, are you available next week?" Jae says, raising his voice a bit.

"Fine fine, just treat me to lunch and to a massage." Chanyeol says playfully, receiving a grumpy response from Jae.

"Yah, Joohyuk! Come here, come here!" Baekhyun says, stomping his way towards Joohyuk. Joohyuk raises a brow when he sees Baekhyun approaching him with an angry face.

"Oh, hyung? Why are you her- Ouch!" Joohyuk shouts in pain when he receives a strong punch from Baekhyun.

"Where did you bring Jisoo last night? He came back to the dorms, drunk!" Baekhyun says, a little bit too loud.

Joohyuk rubs his arm, pouting in front of Baekhyun. "I brought him at a ramen shop, he ordered soju! Don't blame me, I just payed for it!" Joohyuk says, defending himself.

"Have discipline! You should tell him to stop when you think he's had enough!" Baekhyun says, rubbing his forehead. 

Joohyuk nods, "Yes, I promise Baek." Joohyuk says, receiving a glare from Baekhyun.

But then Baekhyun's stare softens, "We're still friends right?" Baekhyun asks, "I'm sorry."

Joohyuk laughs at Baekhyun, "Of course, Baek. We're still friends, I understand that you're concerned." Joohyuk says with a smile, using his other arm to ruffle Baekhyun's hair.

Baekhyun nods, "I'll get going now, bye Joohyuk!"

"For you ma'am, what is love?"

"Hmm, love is kind of like when you see fog in the morning, when you wake up before the sun comes out. It's just a little while, and then it burns away... Love is a fog that burns with the first daylight of reality."

Chanyeol nods, quite shocked with the woman's answer. He jots down the woman's answers.

"Did you get heart broken?"

"Unfortunately, yes."

"What happened that caused the both of you to break up?"

"Well, my boyfriend didn't trust me. He would always assume that I'm seeing someone else when in fact I'm just out with friends. The funny thing is, one night I saw him out with a lady. They were doing things together. So we broke up."

"What do you think is needed to make a relationship healthy and to last long?"

"You need to be honest with each other." The woman answers.

Chanyeol nods, writing everything in his notebook. Chanyeol stands up, "Thank you ma'am for sparing your time." Chanyeol smiles at the woman as he bows.

The woman smiles softly at Chanyeol, "You're welcome! Anything to help you." The woman says, leaving the set.

Chanyeol puts his notebook into his bag, while Jae puts the equipments into their bags. "Hyung, let's bring these back home right away. I'll go out with my friends later." Jae says while Chanyeol nods, heading out for the exit.

"Just bring those home, I'll just buy some stuff." Chanyeol says, ignoring the whines coming from Jae.

Chanyeol enters a small candy shop nearby, he starts grabbing some chocolate and mint candies since he's oddly craving for them.

"Stranger!" Chanyeol hears a familiar voice, making him turn around. He sees Baekhyun all wrapped in coats and a beanie since it's cold.

Baekhyun walks like a penguin, making his way to Chanyeol. "Hi stranger. You still won't tell me your name?" Baekhyun says, softly smiling at Chanyeol.

Chanyeol stays quiet, staring at Baekhyun's beauty. Baekhyun then chuckles, "Seems like your mute." Baekhyun says, but then Chanyeol shakes his head.

"No, I'm not mute." Chanyeol chuckles. 

"So what's your name?"

"I'd rather keep it a secret."  Chanyeol says making Baekhyun nod.

"Well, I understand. We just met anyways so you might be uncomfortable."

Chanyeol just stares at Baekhyun, "Y-yeah."
