Needless to say, Baekhyun was living a happy e...

That was Baekhyun's first experience with the fidgety but creepy looking Chanyeol. It only took one week for them to meet again.
"Mister, do you have any more cotton candy jelly beans?" A small girl shyly asked Baekhyun as he swiped the floors. He smiled softly to the child and nodded his head.
"Yes of course we do. Why don't you come with me and I'll give you a secret free sample of our newest flavor, how does that sound?"
The girl giggled and nodded her head. Baekhyun rested the broom against the closest wall and walked over to the jelly bean section. He froze when he recognized a certain someone with familiar frizzy hair standing in the section.
"Mister?" The girl questioned from behind him, which snapped him out of his thoughts. He looked between the girl and the tall man for a few moments. When returning his gaze to the jelly bean section for the fifth time, he saw that the man had walked away. Baekhyun promptly thanked his luck.
He walked over to the newly emptied section and saw that the container holding the cotton candy flavor was indeed low. So, he looked up to the shelf carrying the overstock and saw one particular box labeled with the words "cotton candy". Going on his tiptoes, he reached up to the box, or he at least attempted to. He reached and reached but in the end slumped back down defeated.
"Can you not reach it Mister?" The girl asked with sadness in her eyes.
"Ah, no." Baekhyun attempted to calm the girl, "I'm just going to get th-" A shadow loomed over him and he leapt in shock. His surprise would have nearly sent him into the entire jelly bean display if an arm didn't quickly wrap itself around his waist and help his stabilize. Looking up, up and up, his eyes finally met with his savior's rather wide ones.
"This...This is the one you wanted, right?" Chanyeol's deep voice vibrated against Baekhyun chest. Baekhyun looked to the side and saw that Chanyeol was holding the box that contained the overstock of the cotton candy jelly beans in one of his hands.
"O-oh. Yes, yes it is." Baekhyun took it in his hands and hesitantly smiled at him, "Thanks!" The arm around his waist loosened as Chanyeol backed up while scratching the back of his neck.
"It looked...like you were having some trouble." Chanyeol murmured out, nervously directing his big eyes elsewhere.
"You could say that." Baekhyun agreed, "I can't say I was exactly gifted with a lot of height, so thanks for saving me from having to get the step stool." Baekhyun naturally felt himself beaming at the quickly becoming bashful Chanyeol.
"A-Ah no. It's no problem." Baekhyun became surprised once again when Chanyeol's lips formed into a small smile and one of his wide eyes grew smaller and twitched. Although it may have looked creepy to others, Baekhyun found it quite charming.
