"Chanyeol, how are you feeling?"

"Awful," A month had gone by, but Chanyeol had only gotten worse.

"Maybe going to the grocery store with me will make you feel better."

"No," Baekhyun wasn't sure what to do about Chanyeol staying in their dark bedroom for days on end. Chanyeol usually only answered with one word.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, well, call me if you need anything, yeah?"

"Okay."

Baekhyun sighed and went down the stairs, he placed a hand on DJ's urn, "Tell me what to do."

He walked to the grocery store on his own. He tried listening to happy music to cheer himself up, but he couldn't stop worrying about Chanyeol.

"I can't help but notice your beautiful humming."

"Me?" Baekhyun never understood why he attracted people he didn't know, but it wasn't unusual for men and women alike to approach him.

"Yeah," The man smiled, "I'm Yixing."

"Okay."

"Are you going to tell me your name?"

"No."

"Playing hard to get?"

"I have a boyfriend," Baekhyun held up his necklace, "See?"

"He doesn't have to know anything, cutie."

"Sorry, sir, I'm not interested though," Baekhyun smiled awkwardly and quickly walked out of the aisle and out of the grocery store. He decided to just pick up some takeout for him and Chanyeol. His phone rang, "Hello? Chanyeol, do you need something?"

"You."

"Are you hurt?"

"No."

"Why do you need me?"

"Because."

"I'll be home soon."

"Okay."

Baekhyun rushed home, dropping the takeout on the counter, "Chanyeol, what's the matter?"

"Nothing."

"Why don't you talk? I thought something was wrong!"

"I need you," Chanyeol reached out to Baekhyun.

"Chanyeol," Baekhyun took his hand, "It's not healthy for you to stay inside all day like this. Let's go eat on the front porch."

"This house just makes me sad. Nothing's changed about it, the memories make me sad."

"We could change it if you want. We can always make new memories here too," Baekhyun pulled Chanyeol up, "Let's go eat."

"Can't we just have dinner in bed?"

"We can have other things in bed after dinner," Baekhyun smirked, "Only if you come outside and eat dinner with me."

"Are you bribing me?"

"Maybe."

"What are you going to give me?"

"You'll just have to wait and find out," Baekhyun pulled Chanyeol downstairs.

"You dirty little boy."
