After stuffing theirselves for breakfast and having a little 'bonding' among theirselves, they went out the cafe to enjoy the forest, the silence and calming ambiance of the nature and maybe share some small talks to get to know each other.

"So Baekhyun, you haven't really put into details on why you ran away from your wedding." Chanyeol opened the conversation with the question he was curious about. Baekhyun looked at him in utter confusion, why does he want to know? But then he decided to answer it truthfully so that maybe just maybe Chanyeol can finally understand him.

"It was an arranged marriage Chanyeol---a forced commitment." Baekhyun sighed, looking around the empty forest that seemed to be his little getaway for a while. "Then what's the problem with it? Maybe you'll learn to love her eventually and you'll live happy every after. And it's not like your parents will arrange you with someone that doesn't reach your standards."

"Loving is nothing about standards, Chanyeol. You love someone not for something that he/she possesses because what if that something will suddenly disappear then will your love for him/her shall disappear aswell?"

Chanyeol gawked at Baekhyun in amazement. He didn't know that Baekhyun could be so smart about love.

"I could tell that you are really an expert when it comes to love. I guess it's from your past experiences?" Chanyeol asked as they took a seat on the grass at an empty field. "Truth is, i haven't been in a relationship before. I haven't been inlove." Baekhyun sighed woefully, picking up the grasses infront of him. He didn't know if he was sad by the fact that he still haven't experienced love or he just want to but it never came to him.

"Really? That's quite unbelievable. You're really wise with your words." The giant said, looking intently at Baekhyun who got uncomfortable under his intense gaze.

"I d-don't know. I... m just being practical, i guess?" The latter shrugged his shoulders, avoiding Chanyeol's eyes on him. "I see..." Chanyeol nodded his head and finally removed his eyes from Baekhyun which was a relief to him.

"How about you? You haven't really told me anything about you or your family." It was Chanyeol's turn to avoid Baekhyun's gaze who was waiting for his answer. "Uhm... I'd rather not talk about it." The giant reasoned out but Baekhyun was determined to know him and his family background.

"It's not fair. You already know so many things about me but i don't even know anything about you." Baekhyun complained, pouting in the process. "I'm not ready to go into details but i guess i could tell you the basics." Chanyeol gave in and Baekhyun was delighted with it. Atleast that's progress for him.

"I live in a normal household. I have my father, mother and my older sister. I work in a supermarket from time-to-time for a living. Well, i guess that's all." Chanyeol stated but Baekhyun wasn't contented with it. "Tell me more about yourself. Your likes, dislikes and such." The midget said, determined to know the giant.

Chanyeol shook his head at Baekhyun's nosiness. "You are really nosy, aren't you?" Chanyeol snorted at the midget who rolled his eyes in return. "I'm not nosy. I'm just curious." The latter defended himself.

"Okay then. I really hate it when people are trying to get in my business." Chanyeol said, smugly. Baekhyun then turned away from the giant and crossed his arms across his chest.

"Sorry. I won't get in your business again!" The midget huffed, standing up and started walking away. "Hey! I was just messing around!" Chanyeol called out but Baekhyun was already gone behind the pack of trees.

"He really took that seriously?" Chanyeol groaned and decided to follow Baekhyun who might get lost knowing that Baekhyun's not familiar with the place, not like Chanyeol who already knew every corner of the forest since it already served as a second home to him.

He entered the pack of trees and looked out for any sign of the midget. "Hey Baekhyun!" He shouted but all he got as a response was the sound of the birds and trees, the sound of nature.

He scratched his head in annoyance, "Where could he gone off to?" His footsteps were heavy as he searched every corner for the run away midget.

Baekhyun carelessly walked through the forest, not knowing where he was going. "I was only trying to get to know him. Is that wrong?" He asked to himself before kicking a pebble infront of him.

"Ok sorry then. I won't get in your business again you... you... cyclopean!" He screamed in anger and imagined Chanyeol was the pebble and he kicked it so hard.

Baekhyun stopped walking for a while to scan his surroundings. "Now damn it! I'm lost! Luck isn't really on my side right now!" He shouted in frustration, tugging his hair and squeezing his eyes shut. The sun wasn't helping since it was shining brightly so the weather was quite hot.

"That Chanyeol is really a bad luck to me!" He said to no one in particular, he settled under a tree for shade because he was already a sweaty mess and he was also thirsty and tired.

But suddenly he remembered how he's not great friends with nature. He's half-scared, half-disgusted with different insects and animals. And when a butterfly passed by him, he shrieked in terror before running away. He continued screaming as he run off to nowhere, thinking that the insect was following him.

Chanyeol on the other side heard Baekhyun's scream, grabbing his attention. He was worried that Baekhyun might be in serious danger and that pushed him to run, shouting the latter's name.

"Baekhyun! Where are you?!" He called out, his eyes searching for Baekhyun.

"Chanyeol?! I'm here! Help me!" Baekhyun's voice echoed through out the forest and it was a relief to Chanyeol, a sign that the midget was still alive and breathing.

The giant tried following where Baekhyun's voice came from but he still failed to see Baekhyun. "Baekhyun, tell me the thing that's closest to you. It will serve as a guide for me to you." Chanyeol instructed the midget who was haplessly looking around him.

"All i could see is trees!" The midget replied back causing Chanyeol to face-palmed himself.

Oh yeah. We're in a forest. What else could he see? Chanyeol said to himself.

Another scream was heard from Baekhyun who saw a caterpillar on a tree that was beside him.

He started running again, scared for his own life. He looked back, checking if the creature had followed him but then he didn't notice Chanyeol who was also running towards his direction.

His body collided with Chanyeol that caused him to fall down on top of the giant. The impact was rough and Chanyeol groaned in pain, Baekhyun's body weight adding up to his injury.

"I'm sorry! I didn't se-" Baekhyun was about to get up when he lost his balance and ended up falling again but this time, his lips had landed on Chanyeol's.
