Chapter Twelve
"Was it hard?" Chanyeol asked again out of the blue when they entered his hospital room after taking a breather on the bay. It was already afternoon when Baekhyun offered Chanyeol his hand and took him back inside the hospital premises.
"Hard what?" Replied Baekhyun, readying the freshly washed mattress that's about to give comfort towards his husband who happened to be standing behind him. "Come on, rest now."
But Chanyeol resisted and instead, he sat on the wooden chair beside his hospital bed. "Nursing an unconscious person like me. You know what? If I'm in your position, I'll never stick with a comatose person like me. There was a tiny chance of surviving from it and I call it a miracle."
Baekhyun's expression softened. Good thing he was able to hold on the bed when he felt his legs wobbled. "But you've made it, Chanyeol. You're one of those few patients who made it and even though you'll not gonna make it. . ." Baekhyun paused for awhile feeling something blocking his throat upon reaching the thought of his husband dying because the perpetrator wanted to end his life already. ". . . I'll still stay by your side. I am a doctor in the making and with that said, I save lives not end it."
Chanyeol smiled warmly at Baekhyun and reached for his shaking hands on his lap. "Thank you so much for being with me, Hyun. I hope in the future, when I'll be able to find my lost identity already, I'll be able to repay you for your sacrifices for me while I'm still in coma state."
"You don't have to pay me back," Baekhyun ensured, gripping the giant hands holding his. "Finding the real you will be enough payment for me. Promise me that, Chanyeol. Promise me that you'll do everything in order to find your real identity. I don't wanna rush you but I just want you to know that I'll be always here for you."
Chanyeol nodded in accord. "May I know your real name?"
"What for?"
"I just wanna know," Chanyeol shrugged.
"Baekhyun. . . Park Baekhyun," he almost mumbled his last name but who the hell Baekhyun was kidding? Chanyeol will still hear it and judging from how his eyebrow creased, he's a hundred percent sure that the giant heard him.
"Park?" Asked Chanyeol, puzzled. Baekhyun nodded. "We have the same surnames! I mean, your husband has the same surname as mine! Weren't we blood related?"
Talking to Chanyeol as Hyun was hard for Baekhyun. He's fighting back the urge of telling his husband the truth because he doesn't want Chanyeol to feel the shock and heaviness of what he has with him right now. Baekhyun thinks that there will be a right time to tell his husband about this, just not now because he's still familiarizing himself with everything after being asleep for two years.
"I don't think so," he whispered, he glanced away when a tear fell from his eye. Quick to wipe it, Baekhyun stood up and went to the bathroom, leaving the giant clueless as to why his nurse acted like that.
Whilst Chanyeol on the other hand, remained seated on the wooden chair, gazes still locked on the door of the bathroom wherein Baekhyun went in. Sighing deeply, he stood up and went to the said place. It took him seconds before knocking on the door of it. "Hey, did I said something wrong?"
Baekhyun was startled when Chanyeol started knocking once again, calling his name multiple times. Sniffing, he cleared his throat. "N-no. I just felt the need to pee. Come on, Chanyeol. Rest now and we'll get your vitals checked after a while."
"Are you sure?" There was a hint of concern laced on the giant's voice. "I wasn't really that tired so I don'tㅡ"
"ㅡChanyeol. Please?"
"Fine," Chanyeol sighed and went back to his hospital bed, comfortably lying on it.

"How was he?" Asked Sooyoung the moment she entered Chanyeol's room. She smiled at the sight of Baekhyun looking intensely on the sleeping patient on the hospital bed. She wasn't sure what was Baekhyun telling Chanyeol because it was low enough for her to hear it the moment she opened the door.
"Oh. . ." Baekhyun stood up, giving Sooyoung some space to get his husband checked. "There's nothing wrong with him. I think he still can't remember something because he wasn't yet looking like someone having a lost memory on his head."
Sooyoung nodded while checking Chanyeol's vitals as what her assistant doctor written a while ago. "And how about you? How are you, Baekhyun?"
"I'm not fine," Baekhyun said as a matter of fact, releasing a deep and heavy sigh. "It wasn't that easy talking to him and pretending that I was just a nobody to him. It's hard to fight back the urge of wanting to wrap my arms around him. But fine, I think I can still withstand this kind of situation. As long as I'm near him," his left hand travelled on Chanyeol's cheek and caressed it. "I already told him my real name."
"And he was surprised that you have the same surname as him," Sooyong continued. She patted Baekhyun's shoulders and smiled at him with assurance on her face. "Someday, it will be clear to him, Baekhyun. Just always remember the thing I told you, okay? Step by step. Don't pour him everything in one drop, it'll gonna be hard for him and for you, too. Tendencies might happen. Like it can shock and trigger him to the point that he'll distance himself from you. Outmost everyone here, it's you, who knows him the most. I believe you'll handle this situation the best."
"I know," Baekhyun gently took his husband's left hand and intertwined their hands. "But what are we gonna do if the one who admitted him here comes back? Will it be the last time I'm gonna see him?"
Sooyoung shrugged. "The reason why I came here was to talk with you and hear your plans. I'm a hundred percent sure that the moment Mr. Jung comes in again, he'll bring Chanyeol back to Canada. That's what the original plan, right? He was brought here to be cured and medicated then afterwards, he'll be gone again."
"I-I don't want that to happen," Baekhyun whispered feeling something inside him hurt the moment Sooyoung mentioned Chanyeol being away from him. "What are we gonna do?"
"I seriously don't know," Sooyoung rubbed her temples. "I wasn't in talking terms with Mr. Jung. It's only Mr. Lee who can personally talk to him. This is what all I can do for you, Baekhyun. The rest will be up to you and your friends."

"Hey, I thought you'll gonna stay with Chanyeol for a week?" That was what welcomed Baekhyun the moment he opened the door of his house. Baekhyun decided to come home first and think peacefully of what's gonna be his next step. He didn't planned on sleeping on his house for this night, he just wanted to be away from the hospital for the mean time and will be back before the sun sets today.
"I just want to think first," Baekhyun answered, he went to the kitchen and took a pitcher of water with him. He poured it on the glass beside and took the water in one gulp. "Chanyeol's already awake."
It didn't passed Sehun's ears when he heard Baekhyun and Kyungsoo being engaged in a heated and serious talk inside the kitchen. "Since when, Baekhyun hyung?" He intruded, making his way inside the kitchen, he held Baekhyun's shoulders and shook his body. "Hyung, what? What happened?"
"He's suffering from amnesia," he plainly said. Kyungsoo and Sehun fell in silence with that. "He can't remember anything. Even his name. So, I guess it's not just me whom he can't remember. Each one of us."
"What are we gonna do now?" Asked Kyungsoo in a worry.
"I don't know really. I can't think of anything relevant to his situation right now," Baekhyun mumbled, looking stressed at all with the happenings lately. To be honestly speaking, for the time being that he found his husband, he somehow forgot about his missing daughter. Good thing Luhan and Sehun were being a helpful hand to him by doing his paternal duties to his adoptive children.
"Can I go with you to the hospital?" Sehun asked, breaking the silence after Baekhyun spoke. "I just want to ask some questions to Chanyeol hyung's doctor."

"Hi," Baekhyun shyly greeted the giant comfortably lying on the soft mattress. "Did you ate already?"
Chanyeol shook his head. "I'm waiting for you to come. Dr. Sooyoung said that you went home for the meantime so I said that I'll eat the moment you come back," he averted his gaze on the food trays on the bed side table. "Let's eat? I already asked them to prepare foods for you, too," Baekhyun was hesitant at first and Chanyeol noticed it. "A penny for your thoughts? You seemed to be lost today."
Baekhyun didn't answered but instead opened the door, revealing someone foreign to the patient on the hospital bed. "Will you mind if my friend stays here for a while?"
Shaking his head, Chanyeol smiled softly at the person who just went inside his room. "Hello there," he greeted.
"Chanyeol, I want you to meet Sehun. P-Park Sehun," Baekhyun did the introduction, feeling something on him uneasy. It will never be easy to introduce someone to his husband that used to be a part of his life as a nobody to the lost giant he is right now. "He. . . He has an appointment with Dr. Sooyoung. He. . . He's my husband's younger brother."
Sehun's face was void of any emotions but his shaking hands on the sides of him were enough to tell Baekhyun how hard the younger one was preventing himself on throwing his body to his older brother. Two years of not seeing him was tough for Sehun. It's Chanyeol the only family left to him and as much as he wanted, albeit that both of them already built their own families, he still needs Chanyeol in his life. Aside from Luhan and Xun, it's Chanyeol the only one who can touch the tiniest part of Sehun's life.
"Oh," the dumb grin on the giant's face was still the same, revealing his perfect set of white teeth. "It's nice to meet you. We have the same surnames!" He cheerfully stated unbeknownst to him that it was him the husband they were talking about. "Baekhyun, come and tell Sehun to have a sit first and I'll call someone to prepare foods for him, too," he was about to push the bottom of the intercom when Sehun spoke.
"T-there's no need," Sehun found his lost voice and he did his best to forestall the urge of cracking it, seeing his older brother again after two years of being a missing person. "I-I'm still full, hyung."
Chanyeol nodded with that. Earlier, Baekhyun told him things about his husband and it was mentioned that the said husband was born in the same year, month, and day as him. That made the eagerness inside Chanyeol to meet Baekhyun's husband in the future. Albeit that he didn't declared the name of his husband, Chanyeol still wanted to meet the one who's making his caretaker happy and at the same time sad.
Baekhyun pulled Sehun and perched him on the chair next to Chanyeol. The younger was just gawking on the patient in front like he grew another head on top of his head so it made Chanyeol uncomfortable. "W-why are you looking at me like that?"
"Chanyeol. . ." Called Baekhyun, diverting his attention to him. "I'm sorry in behalf of Sehun. He just misses his hyung aㅡ"
"ㅡcan I hug you?" Sehun asked with full of emotions on his voice whilst Baekhyun darted him a glaring look. "Please?" He solicited.
Chanyeol nodded even though it's weirding him out. "O-okay," without further much said, Sehun threw himself inside Chanyeol's welcoming hands. And what shocked the giant hugging him? It was when Sehun said he misses him absentmindedly.
