"The Date"

—

Baekhyun's heart stopped as he stared at the detective. He couldn't believe his eyes. Out of all people Baekhyun could have been paired up with, he was paired with his enemy.

"Y-Yes, I'm Baekhyun," Baekhyun smiled and greeted his date.

Chanyeol smiled at the smaller boy, "Nice to meet you, sorry that I kinda showed up late."

Baekhyun waved his hands in front of him, "No, no, it's okay! I just got here!"

"Hi, I'm your waiter this evening, here are your menus!"

The two grabbed their menus and ordered what they wanted. Nervously, Baekhyun looked outside towards the sky, "do you like stars?"

Chanyeol looked at Baekhyun, "yeah, do you?"

Baekhyun faced Chanyeol, "yeah, they're pretty."

"Like you," Chanyeol said, "wait sorry! I didn't mean it like that! I mean yes you're pretty but I didn't mean for that to slip out!"

Baekhyun giggled at the flustered puppy as he tried to gather his words, "it's okay, I think you're pretty too."

Chanyeol smiled at him with his red cheeks, "so... where do you work at?"

Baekhyun looked down, "well, I actually used to work at Syko Company but I got fired. How about you?"

"I'm a detective," Chanyeol replied, "also did you hear about the death of the CEO at Syko?"

Baekhyun nodded, "yeah I heard about it and it's so sad."

Chanyeol agreed, "it was. The girl we arrested ending up being found not guilty and we just marked the CEO's death a suicide."

So that's what happened. Baekhyun thought. Baekhyun took a sip of his drink, "so what's it like being a detective? Sounds like a pretty cool job?"

Chanyeol chuckled, "I guess you could say its interesting but very stressful especially these last two weeks. There's been a lack of evidence on this one case we're working on."

"Oh," Baekhyun responded, "well I hope you get plenty of rest for the weekend."

Chanyeol giggled, "thanks."

The waiter came in with their food and soon the two began to eat. Chanyeol got the smaller getting glimpses of him from time to time and Chanyeol thought it was the most adorable thing ever. Chanyeol then broke the silence, "so why'd you get fired?"

"My boss fired me for being too late and plus my charts were really low so makes sense why he fired me," Baekhyun said taking a bite of his food.

"You should try finding other jobs," Chanyeol suggested, "what do you major in?"

"I major in computer programming," Baekhyun answered, "but after my charts being low I don't think companies will hire me."

"Oh, that sucks. Well you can always start small and gradually improve your tardiness and charts," Chanyeol smiled.

Everytime Chanyeol smiled, the gap in Baekhyun's heart got smaller. Was this really happening? Was the gap in Baekhyun's heart finally being filled.
