"Is it true?!" Chanyeol barged inside his hospital room after knowing from the nurses lurking around the Butterfly Garden that the certain intern named Hyun already went back after being absent for three days. Chanyeol never asked Dr. Sooyoung as to why his caretaker went missing out of the blue without even noticing him. It's like the said doctor was doing all her best to avoid him during the past few days.

Baekhyun, howbeit, wasn't surprised at all. He was expecting that in no time, Chanyeol will rush himself inside his own room. Even the resident nurses were telling him that the patient inside the said room was always looking for him these days. He only gave a timid smile as an answer. Removing the undone blanket, Baekhyun didn't turned around to see the giant's face. "True what?"

"That you're gonna quit assisting Dr. Sooyoung already and that I'm not gonna see you anymore," it wasn't that hard on Baekhyun's part to feel the sadness on the patient's voice. After all, he is Chanyeol, he is his husband. "Is it true? Why? Am I burdening you that much?"

Baekhyun shook his head. Tidying up the mattress, he finished it with one stroke of his slim fingers and sat on it, facing the pitiful giant standing right after the closed door. "Yes it's true."

"True what?" Chanyeol hissed.

"True that I'm gonna be leaving this hospital already," Baekhyun bluntly said. "Look, I can't finish my internship anymore. I have so many things going around my plate right now and this is just one of those things I needed to give up for theㅡ"

"ㅡis that so?" Chanyeol rebuked. "Fine. Go wherever you wanted to go. Get out of my sight."

Baekhyun bowed his head down, jumping lightly for his feet to reach the ground. Suddenly, he felt tears brimming around his eyes so he continued walking without looking in front of him. It didn't took him quite a few steps when he bumped his forehead on Chanyeol's chest. "Sorry. . ."

But instead of getting angrier towards his caretaker's foreign actions, Chanyeol pulled Baekhyun, letting his face crash on his broad chest. When he started stroking his back was the same time when Baekhyun's shoulders started heaving up and a down. A sign that he is crying. "Tell me what's your problem. I'm always here to hear you out."

Baekhyun didn't answered. He just found himself crying harder when he felt again the familiar feeling he has been missing for years now. It was still the same. Being inside Chanyeol's arms was still Baekhyun's favorite place. He feels protected and secured. He knows Chanyeol will never let anyone harm him whenever they're this close. Baekhyun misses this feeling so damn much so he wasn't able to prevent himself from sobbing like a kid while his both hands were tightly gripping the hem of Chanyeol's hospital gown.

"I don't know how. . ." Chanyeol started walking back to the sofa beside his hospital bed with Baekhyun clinging on his neck like a Koala Bear. He didn't made Baekhyun sit on the spot next to him but instead, he made Baekhyun comfortably sit on his lap while the brunet's face was crooked on his neck. "I don't know since when this started but you were suddenly an important person to me. I don't know how but maybe because you made me feel loved and cared. You were there for me when I don't seem like someone who will still open his eyes. You patiently waited for me; you believed on me when everyone seemed to turn their backs on me. Because why? Let's be honest here, being in a comatose state won't give me a big chance of surviving it."

"I haven't been cured that good yet, Hyun. . ." Chanyeol took Baekhyun's left hand and caressed it with his callous hands. "I need you to be beside me. Call me selfish but I don't think I can do this without you by my side," little did Chanyeol know, Baekhyun was already fast asleep on his neck.

"Stay away from Chanyeol, Baekhyun," Jung Jae Bum stressed. Looking at the bay without pouring the nervous midget behind him a look. "I still have to get back from him. Don't dare try to take him away from me. Or else, you and your friends will be in harm too."

-

"No! You can't do that!" Baekhyun's forehead was covered of beads of sweats when he opened his eyes, feeling the need of air inhalant. It's been three days since he met the perpetrator and its still bugging him ever since he'll fell asleep. Jung Jae Bum's words were still lingering on his system.

"Baekhyun!" Kyungsoo was the only one inside the room when Baekhyun started mumbling words under his breath while his eyes were closed. He knew Baekhyun was having a nightmare but when he started shaking his unconscious body, Baekhyun didn't stopped. Instead, he started sweating intensely. When he's about to push the intercom button, Baekhyun shouted out of the blue, making Kyungsoo go panic like shit. "God! You're having a nightmare!" He handed Baekhyun a bottle of water to which the brunet accepted without hesitation.

"K-Kyungsoo. . ." Baekhyun called, placing the emptied bottle of water on the bed side table. It didn't passed his vision when he saw that he was wearing a hospital gown and there was an IV on his wrist. "What happened to me?"

"I don't know, really!" Kyungsoo half-shouted, massaging his temples. "One time, I was just rearranging the cups in Kamong when a call came from Gukil saying that you were confined here. Whenever I'll talk to the nurse in charge, she'll just shrug me off. Seriously?! What in the world wasㅡoh. . ."

A giant entered and when he saw the smaller foreign person to him shouting like a mad man in front of his care-taker, he gave him a small smile. "Am I interrupting something?" He asked clueless, the forced smile on his face was still evident. Baekhyun finds it adorable and cute, whilst Kyungsoo was annoyed with it. Nothing changes. Chanyeol's dumb expressions still annoys him.

The first thing Kyungsoo did was to turn his back on Chanyeol and started rearranging Baekhyun's things he brought with him even though it was already positioned all-well. "Nothing. Were you here to visit BaekㅡI mean, Hyun?"

Chanyeol nodded his head, closing the door as he slowly made his way towards Baekhyun's hospital bed. "May I know your name? I'm Chanyeol anyway, Hyun's patient!" Albeit that he was talking with Kyungsoo, Chanyeol's eyes never left the sick brunet next to him. Examining his features as if it's the last time they will see each other.

"I'm Kim Kyungsoo," for the first year of introducing himself as Kim Kyungsoo, it never failed on making Kyungsoo flustered. Guess he will never be used of using his husband's surname after all. But when it's Jongin the one saying Kim Kyungsoo, Kyungsoo finds it endearing like he wanted to make it as his ringing tone for his lovely husband. Removing the uncalled cheesy thoughts on his mind, Kyungsoo's expression turned sad the moment it kicked his system that he was talking with the person who has been with him ever since he transferred from his province to Seoul.

Being Chanyeol's confidant for almost ten years opened too many opportunities for Kyungsoo. It was mentioned before that Kyungsoo became a manager of a company and it's all thanks to Chanyeol. Without Chanyeol, he thinks he will never get such high position for his first corporate job knowing the fact that he doesn't have any experiences aside from being Chanyeol's confidant.

"Oh. Hi! It's nice to meet you," the dumb smile on Chanyeol's face made Kyungsoo's eyes started watering. Two years. Two years of not being able to see that dumb expression. Even Kyungsoo was a bitch towards the two, he cannot deny it to his own self that he misses Chanyeol a big time. Upon losing Chanyeol, Kyungsoo felt he lost a brother in his existence. A brother who acts childish than the older brother he is. Kyungsoo was always thankful of having Chanyeol beside him but never got the opportunity to fully express it to him. "I hopeㅡuh. . ."

Kyungsoo didn't mind the shocked expression on the giant's face, instead, he hugged him tightly, hoping that albeit the giant lost his memory, he'll still feel that the skin contact they are having right now is Kyungsoo's way of showing his gratitude for being a good friend to him. "I'm sorry if this will creep you out but I just misses Baekhyun's husband. I see him in you. I can't help it."

It was one of the rarest moment for Baekhyun to see this side of Kyungsoo and he adores it. Seeing Kyungsoo this expressive and honest with his feelings was one of Baekhyun's favorite things. He never saw his husband and Kyungsoo in a serious and touching talk like this because they're always fighting against each other (it's not the Kyungsoo they grew fond of if he's not bitching against them anyway) and seeing them like this makes something on Baekhyun's system flutter. He feels the tightening on his chest like in no time, he will burst out.

"Oh, okay," Chanyeol shrugged. He just found himself rubbing Kyungsoo's back without his notice. "Sehun said that to me also. Guess I have to meet Hyun's husband when we will have time, right, Hyun?" He turned to see his caretaker behind him.

"Y-yeah. . ." Baekhyun stuttered, looking away and avoiding Chanyeol's melting stares. For how long they will stay like this? Baekhyun was sure that in the right time, this will stop. Either Chanyeol will get his memory back, or Jung Jae Bum will take his husband away from him for the second time around and it scares Baekhyun on how he can continue living once again after hearing that his husband was still alive. Baekhyun doesn't want the second one to happen. He will do everything just to take back what is his.

Kyungsoo wiped his tear-stained face the moment he felt contented of what he did. He shyly smiled at Chanyeol to which the latter just reciprocated it with a gentle and sincere smile. With that, Baekhyun broke the silence by calling Kyungsoo's attention that's been glued on the another patient in from of him. "What?"

Go out, Baekhyun mouthed.

What, Kyungsoo replied back, hissing at the sick puppy laying on the hospital bed.

"Uhm, Kyungsoo? Could you please bring me a bottle of water?" Baekhyun said, more like ordered. When Chanyeol turned his head to see Kyungsoo's reaction, Baekhyun glared at Kyungsoo, mouthing: We will talk.

"Bitch," Kyungsoo muttered and it didn't passed Chanyeol's gigantic ears, when he asked who did Kyungsoo called a bitch, he just shrugged and left the room because he knows Baekhyun was just making excuses. "How the fuck is that an excuse? He just drank a 400 ml bottle of water in one gulp. So lame," he unbelievably said, shaking his head.

"He's cute," Chanyeol muttered while gaze was still laced throughout where Kyungsoo went. Upon meeting Kim Kyungsoo, he just felt more the want to dig into Hyun's life deeper. The person himself interests him too much and to be honestly speaking, people around him made Chanyeol want to explore his life even more. It's kinda scary how he felt that way towards the person who's been (he's belief) the only person having faith on him. It hasn't been a month yet since they met but there's an unseen connection, want, and need between them that only Chanyeol can feel and see regardless the fact that he is suffering from memory loss.

"He is," Baekhyun smiled sweetly while gazes were locked towards where Chanyeol's has been glued. Somehow, Chanyeol and Kyungsoo meeting each other lifted him up. He seriously need to take a breather. He wasn't surprised at all when Kyungsoo told him that he was in a hospital because during the passed three days, his mind was floating together with his thoughts for Jung Jae Bum.

"Oooh. . ." Chanyeol said in amusement, eyeing Baekhyun like the latter had done something wrong. "You're married already and so Kyungsoo. Your husband will be jealous if ever he hears that you're ogling towards his friend."

Ogling? The fuck? Baekhyun's thought. And after three days (that felt like a year to Baekhyun) a playful smile was seen again on his face. "Do you think so?"

Chanyeol nodded. "If I am your husband, I'll be jealous to hell. I will do everything to make you look at me only. Even if it's my friends, fuck the world. I only want my husband's attention for me. I don't do sharing."

Still my Chanyeol, Baekhyun whispered to himself. Although his giant was now a lost person behind him, no tragedy can change the giant he used to know. "You're selfish."

"Am not," Chanyeol pouted, sitting on the chair next to Baekhyun's bed, he took Baekhyun's hand and started nibbling the mole on his thumb. "Wow. It feels so nice playing with your mole here."

"You really love it," it was late when Baekhyun realized that he was able to verbalize his thoughts and it suddenly made Chanyeol's forehead creased. "D-did I said something cryptic?"

Chanyeol was taken aback at first but was quick to recollect himself, he shrugged and then continued nibbling the mole. "How are you feeling right now?"

The moment Chanyeol asked that question, he felt a lump on his throat. For the meantime, he has to be away from him. For the meantime, Sooyoung will still be the one who will take care of his husband. It's hard but that's the only thing he can think of right now. "Better. Later, I'll be discharged and you will never seeㅡ"

"ㅡwas your head still spinning around?"

"Chanyeol. . ." Baekhyun lets out an exasperated sigh. "This is inevitable. I'm bound to leave you, let's face it. But don't worry, I'll make sure to visit you once aㅡ"

"ㅡonce a week is not enough," Chanyeol retorted.

"Then how often do you want me to visit you?" Baekhyun rolled his eyes, here they go again with the childish side of his husband.

"I want it everyday," Chanyeol said plainly and when Baekhyun looked at his eyes, there was no hint of playfulness on it, instead, his eyes were full of determination. "Butㅡ"

"ㅡyou've got to be kidding me," Baekhyun folded his arms right on his chest and leaned on the soft head rest of his hospital bed. "Chanyeol, I haveㅡ"

"ㅡthen if you can't visit me everyday like you used to, I'll be the one visiting you everyday. Your choice."
