Chanyeol hurry come say hi, this is Taeyong '' Jaehyun grabs Chanyeol's arm squeezing it tight, nearly cutting off his blood supply. "Nice to properly meet you Chanyeol outside of work" Taeyong smiles before grabbing himself a drink from the small private bar they are now standing beside. "Hey hey hey lets party" Lucas joins them at the bar making Chanyeol turn away laughing to see Baekhyun looking at him while Taemin is trying to talk to him. "Come on man let's get some music on" Lucas shouts to the others as Kasper brings the room to life with music. "Chanyeol this is amazing. I feel like I am dreaming and this isn't happening" Jaehyun screeches still holding Chanyeol's arm. Jaehyun I am surprised you are speaking to them when you freeze when they come in the bakery" Chanyeol frees his arm from Jaehyun's tight death grip. "It's the drink that helps''Jaehyun giggles while running over to the others as Chanyeol leans on the bar asking for a drink.

"Chanyeol I love you so so much" Sehun nearly falls over as he takes a seat at the bar beside Chanyeol. "These guys are amazing. I got to speak to The Kai one and OMG he is just sex in a suit. If he was made of chocolate I would lick and eat him all night long" Chanyeol spits out his mouthful of drink nearly choking at what his shy friend just said. "What the hell Sehun, what are you all drinking tonight?" Chanyeol still can't believe what his friend said as he apologizes to the bartender for spitting on the bar. "You need to sober up a little Sehun please don't make a show of yourself tonight please"Chanyeol watches as Sehun stands up "Let your hair down we are here in the same room as SuperM having drinks. This could be the last and only chance you get to spend time with them Chanyeol please have another drink and enjoy it for me please because let's face it I don't want to be dealing with your miserable ass tomorrow". Sehun pats Chanyeol's shoulder and makes his way back over to the others. Chanyeol knows his friend is right but he hasn't been able to mix with SuperM since kissing Baekhyun in the manager's office.

"Something on your mind." Ten stands next to Chanyeol making him turn to face him. "Me.... No just shy that's all can't really believe this is all happening to be honest" Chanyeol smiles shyly while taking a sip from his drink. "I know what you mean but we don't bite why don't you come join us. I really hate to see people left out". Ten starts to walk away but then stopping to wait for Chanyeol. "Come say hi" Chanyeol finally gets up the courage he had earlier and follows Ten over to the others all spread out sitting around two tables.

"Sit here next to Lucas" Ten takes a seat as Chanyeol blushes as he is being watched carefully by Baekhyun sitting just across the table from him. "So Chanyeol from Yummy Yummy Bakery can I just say the cakes you guys make are like little pieces of heaven" Lucas smiles rubbing his stomach as Chanyeol can't help but laugh. "Thank you, I am glad and so will my boss be that you like them" Chanyeol nervously takes a sip of his drink as his eyes catch Baekhyun. If this is any sort of a dream he thinks he is still having he hopes he never wakes up.

"So Lucas do you love being in SuperM?" Chanyeol asks watching as Lucas smiles "I really do, don't get me wrong it can be a pain in the ass but it is so worth it. It's hard when we have to hide sometimes".

"Hide, why hide?" Chanyeol furrowed his brow waiting for the reply. "Well put it this way the way we are sitting here if the media or a fan walked by they would probably think oh are they dating" Lucas laughs as a cough fills the room making everyone look towards Baekhyun who has seemed to have choked on his drink. " Oh" Chanyeol blushes and laughs as he knocks back his drink and excuses himself to go to the bar.

"Can I have a shot of the strongest drink you have?" he asks the bartender as he feels a hand touch his shoulder making him turn around. "I hope I didn't embarrass you back there" Lucas smiles that big smile that Chanyeol knows the fans love. "No no I just wanted to try to catch up with my friends. They seem to have courage to talk tonight with a drink so I guess I need the courage also" Chanyeol thanks the bar man and knocks back the drink placing the empty glass on the counter. "Oh man I will regret this in the morning but fuck it. "Bartender can we have another two shots please of whatever he just had" Lucas takes a seat waiting patiently for the drinks. "Cheers Chanyeol let's make fools of ourselves and get given out to by our bosses tomorrow"Lucas knocks back his drink as Chanyeol does the same.

"So who is your favorite in SuperM? , it's me isn't it" Lucas teases as Chanyeol hopes the red blush across his face is from the drink. "Aww I can't tell you that " Chanyeol replies hoping he doesn't have to tell the truth .

"Oh come on, it has to be me. I know how to work the crowd, the ladies and men love me really. I am known as the flirt of the group" Lucas says proudly while knocking back another shot. "You are all amazing really" Chanyeol hoped to save himself from more questions. "So what are SuperM up to next" Chanyeol takes a shot and passes it to Lucas. "Well the day after tomorrow we are heading to America to do our big promotion there"

"Oh wow are you nervous at all?" Chanyeol feels his heart sank a little knowing they won't be popping into the bakery again. "Deep down I am as we don't know how they will take us. Mark has a lot of pressure on him at the moment with talking in english for us all. Baekhyun and Kai have been going over the basics like how to say hello and thank you and all that. Me on the other hand I can hardly speak my own bloody language never mind another one" Lucas laughs after slagging himself as Chanyeol looks towards Baekhyun still sitting at the table talking to the others.

" I am sure everything will go great" Chanyeol takes another drink this time to heal his cracking heart, not seeing them for a while. "How long are you all going for?" he asks.

"A month, so do you think that your boss will hook us up with some bakery goods before we go?" Lucas smiles getting off the bar stool as he stumbles a little. "I am gonna go ask him don't move from here" he mumbles as he makes his way to the table Suho is sitting at and falls down on the chair next to him. Chanyeol can't help but laugh as he too gets up from the bar stool and makes his way to the bathroom.

Once he is finished he washes his hands trying to stand up straight laughing to himself after getting so drunk. "Drunk are we?" he hears a voice come from the door and as if by magic he sobers up a little. "Baekhyun" is all he can say as the smaller walks in closer. "Yeah" he replies smiling, looking the taller up and down.

"I just needed the bathroom, which I'm sure you know as you're here with me now, oh god" Chanyeol lowers his head leaning over the sink knowing anything that he says now with drink on him will make him look like a fool.

"You and Lucas seem to be getting on well," Baekhyun moves closer, washing his hands in the next sink before fixing his hair.

"I needed more drink and he followed me to the bar and just started talking" Chanyeol cups some water in his hands and splashes it on his face.

"What did you guys talk about?" Baekhyun hands him some tissue to help him dry his face. "Oh just asked me who was my favourite in your group and that you were all leaving to head to America the day after tomorrow. Now he is begging my boss for some of our cakes right now" Chanyeol laughs finishing up as he makes his way to the door.

"Meet me later" he freezes hearing those words coming from an angel. Turning around so fast he nearly falls over.

"You want me to meet you, where ?" Chanyeol blushes again making the smaller smile. " The bakery at midnight" Baekhyun says before moving past Chanyeol out the door and back to join the others as Chanyeol hopes it ain't the drink talking. Trying to control himself and the butterflies that have now joined the alcohol in his stomach he makes a run for the toilet throwing up. "Oh shit" he says before throwing up again, thanking the gods that Baekhyun, his favourite idol was not in the bathroom at the time to hear him throw up. Cleaning himself up and rinsing out his mouth he makes his way back to the room with the others.

"My drinking buddie, there you are, so your boss said I can drop by in the morning and get some cakes. But I do have to say goodnight as we have to leave now and head off back to the dorm. So Chanyeol, thank you for the drinks tonight we should do this again when we get back from America so take care and I will see you in the morning for the cakes". ' Lucas hugs Chanyeol, taking him off guard.

They all say their goodbyes as Chanyeol hurries out to his boss's car with a takeaway cup of coffee knowing he will need it if he is meeting Baekhyun at midnight which is in a half hours time. "Oh my god that was the best night ever" Sehun hiccups in the back seat of the boss's car giggling with Jaehyun as Chanyeol can't help but smile in the passenger's seat sipping his coffee as Suho drives them home.

After dropping Jaehyun home first Chanyeol drags Sehun out of the car with Suhos help as they bring him up and put him to bed. "Thanks for tonight boss and for sorting it out for us to meet SuperM" Chanyeol bows to his boss before he leaves.

Checking his watch he has twenty minutes to get to the bakery and since he has been drinking he can't drive so he makes himself fresh with his cologne, fixes his hair and brushes his teeth before running out the door and up the street back to the bakery where Baekhyun asked him to meet.

Reaching his job he can see a black car parked across the road in a parking lot. Squinting his eyes he tries to see if it was Baekhyun but he couldn't really make out the car as it is rather dark. Opening the main door to the bakery he steps inside closing the door back over as he heads to the coffee machine turning it on.

Gentle little taps come to the glass on the door as he looks up seeing a figure at the main door of the bakery. Quickly he rushes to open it seeing Baekhyun all smiles wearing a baseball cap. "Come in, I just put the coffee machine on, would you like one?" He closes the door locking it as Baekhyun steps in closer "Yes please" Chanyeol just wants to jump up and down right now knowing he is alone with the man he admires so much. Making the coffees he grabs two cakes and carries them to the booth Baekhyun has chosen to sit at in the back of the bakery.

"I hope it's ok to sit here. It's darker here from the street outside. Nobody will see us" Chanyeol feels his heart sink a little hearing him say that but he knows deep down it's what idols have to do to avoid any sort of trouble. "Chanyeol there is something I want to say" Baekhyun starts but lowers his head making Chanyeol more nervous now. "I need to tell you I am sorry for kissing you in that manager's office we shouldn't have. I don't want to give you mixed signals right now. I do like you but I can't do anything about it so I am so sorry". Chanyeol can't believe his ears but who is he kidding. How could an idol fall for him. He's just a guy who works in a bakery afterall.

"Its ok I get it, you're an idol and can't be seen with regular people" Chanyeol pulls off a big piece of his muffin and puts it into his mouth trying to swallow it past the lump in his throat.

"I'm sorry Chanyeol I got carried away and shouldn't have done that. I am a regular person too. It's just our jobs are different that's all. I never meant to hurt you"

"Its ok thank you for being honest with me." Chanyeol looks down at his muffin not even wanting to finish it as the bakery now becomes silent.

"I better go" Baekhyun stands up putting money on the table for the coffee and cake. "One more thing...." he starts to talk but Chanyeol interrupts

"I won't tell anyone don't worry" Chanyeol looks back at his coffee as Baekhyun knows what he did was just horrible. "I wasn't going to say that but thank you" and with that Baekhyun puts his baseball cap back on and heads to the main door looking at Chanyeol upset in the darkness as he turns back to the door and leaves running over to his car.

"What a fool I have been." Chanyeol gets up from the booth they were sitting at and cleans up the table before throwing out the cups and cake. Switching off the machine he locks up and heads out into the street closing the bakery door behind him. He glances over seeing Baekhyun's car still in the parking lot making him look at it one more time before slowly waking home knowing this would have never have worked and that he is grateful to the universe that he even got to kiss his idol.

Back in the car a crying Baekhyun keeps wiping his tears as he sees Chanyeol leave and walk home looking so sad. He can't believe he did that to someone especially anyone as nice as Chanyeol has been. He can't believe the taller man got up the courage and stopped him leaving the manager's office earlier and kissed him. Nobody has ever been like that to him before taking charge. He has to admit he really liked it. Wiping his tears after falling so hard for the taller one in just a small space of time he starts the car and drives off back to the dorm thinking he did the right thing and protected Chanyeol even though his own heart knows it was wrong to say goodbye.
