"Are you hungry?" Chanyeol asked as they walked along the bridge.Baekhyun adjusted his grip on Chanyeol's hand and muttered, "Yeah, I could eat." Chanyeol nodded and was about to say something else when Baekhyun cut him off and continued by saying, "But if you insist on paying for my food, I'll smack you. You're too good to me and after all of this, the least I can do is pay for my own food."
Chanyeol chuckled and pivoted on his heel, his hands coming up to clasp Baekhyun's cheeks as he said, "You know, Baekkie, you would always complain about that. And you know what, I pay for you because I like taking care of you. And okay, I could probably let you pay every now and then . . ." Chanyeol muttered with a roll of his eyes.
Baekhyun laughed and playfully smacked his chest as he asked, "So, is this you giving in?"
Chanyeol grinned and dipped his head to kiss Baekhyun's jaw and trailed his lips along to his ear as he replied, "Not even close, Baekkie."
Baekhyun sighed and rolled his eyes. He wound his arms around Chanyeol's neck and said, "Well mister, tonight you better keep your wallet in your pocket because I'm paying."
Chanyeol grinned and kissed the corner of Baekhyun's mouth as he murmured, "I love when you take charge. It's . . . sexy."
Baekhyun blushed and cried, "Park Chanyeol, control yourself!"
Chanyeol chuckled and wound his arm around Baekhyun's neck, pulling him close to his side and kissing below his jaw as he huskily replied, "But I can't when I'm with you."
Baekhyun's blush deepened and he murmured, "Maybe try . . ."

Chanyeol and Baekhyun made there way to the food court. Baekhyun drooling over almost everything. When he spotted corn dogs, he cried, "Ooh, Chanyeol! I want a corn dog! Do you? Oh, wait! I want funnel cake too!"
Baekhyun grabbed Chanyeol's hand and pulled him forward to the vendor's booth. Baekhyun got both a corn dog and funnel cake, while Chanyeol just got a funnel cake. As they were eating at one of the bench tables, someone suddenly ran up behind Baekhyun, throwing their arms around his shoulders and making him scream.
"Oh my God! Who the hell is that?!" Baekhyun cried.
Chanyeol's mouth was frozen open, and then he bursted into laughter as the person behind them began to laugh too.
Baekhyun recognized the laughter and turned around as he cried, "You stupid idiot! Don't do that!"
Sehun continued to laugh and gasp through each breath, "Sorry, Baek! But I . . . just couldn't....resist." He laughed again.
Baekhyun jumped from his seat and pounced on him, punching his arm as he cried, "I hate you, Oh Sehun! You're such an annoying pest!" Baekhyun huffed.
Sehun fake pouted and rubbed his arm as he cried, "Ahh, I think you broke my arm!" Then he limply swung it back and forth while he fake cried. People began to stare while Baekhyun and another boy he didn't recognize told him to be quiet.
He just continued to fake cry even harder and louder, until the boy hissed, "Oh my God! Shut up, already!" And then he grabbed Sehun's face between his hands and crushed their lips together. Sehun's cries were cut off with a "Hmph" as he kissed the boy back.
Baekhyun stared at them with his jaw dropped, and when they broke apart he yelled, "What the hell?! When did you get a boyfriend and why wasn't I informed?!"
Sehun chuckled and his boyfriend smiled weakly while Sehun said, "Okay Baek, before you unknowingly embarrass yourself even further. You actually have met. This is Luhan, you met two or so months ago."
Baekhyun blushed and mumbled, "Oh."
Luhan smiled sheepishly and stepped forward, he grabbed Baekhyun's hand as he gently said, "Hey, Baek. I know you don't remember, but we're really good friends." Luhan smiled again.
Baekhyun smiled too and asked, "Would you mind hanging out one of these days? To help me remember our friendship? That's what I'm doing with Chanyeol. We're recreating our first date to bring back my memories. And the best thing is, it's actually working! I've been remembering little things." Baekhyun smiled happily.
Luhan grinned and exclaimed, "Baek! That's amazing! And, of course, I'll help you. When would you like to hang out?"
"Whenever you would like," Baekhyun replied happily. "Oh, wait! I forgot. Chanyeol? Have I gotten a job at all in the last four months? I probably should have asked that earlier . . ." he mumbled sheepishly.
Sehun laughed and Chanyeol smiled as he softly replied, "No, baby, you don't have a job. Do you want one though?"
Baekhyun shrugged and mumbled, "It'd probably be a good idea to have one."
"Wait? Why didn't you have one? I mean, sorry, that's rude. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to," Luhan said.
Baekhyun waved him off and replied, "No, it's fine. I haven't actually worked for a year now . . . I had trouble trusting people after . . ." Baekhyun trailed off, his expression turning distant. Then his mouth dropped open and his face scrunched up as if in pain.
Chanyeol rose from his seat worriedly, tentatively asking, "Baekkie, are you okay?"
"Hey, Baek. What's wrong?" Sehun asked.
Tears started to pour down his cheeks as he weakly whispered, "My memories . . . They're gone because of him aren't they?" Baekhyun cried harder as images started to flash behind his closed eyes.
He remembered running —- trying to escape. But he had been relentless, and when Baekhyun had been close to freedom he caught him. He hurt him.
He broke him . . .
