Chanyeol moaned in pain. Feeling his back aching because of the lengthy hour of plane ride they were having. He snuggled to the midget next to him, earning a soft groan from Baekhyun. Chanyeol then decided that it's time to open his eyes or else, surely, Baekhyun will disturb everyone inside the quiet and peaceful travel vehicle. Chanyeol wanted to blame Luhan and Kyungsoo for making his husband drunk as fuck. He himself cannot assist his tipsy self anymore, what if having a drunk Baekhyun beside him, inside a flying vehicle. It'll be surely a mess.
"Do you need anything sir?" The cabin crew asked, must be noticing Chanyeol's simultaneous noises because of back pain. "Do you wish to have a meal? Water? What?"
Chanyeol smiled faintly, making sure that his husband's head won't fall anywhere, he held it with his hand. "Can you please give me a cup of freshly brewed coffee? And do you have paracetamols? I have a hangover and my back is aching right now."
"I'll get it back to you sir. How about your husband?" The way how the cabin crew addressed Baekhyun made Chanyeol's heart flutter. He still hopes that people around them will accept them for who they are.
"I'll call you later when he wakes up. He probably will have hangover, too."
The cabin crew chuckled. "Okay, Mr. Park. I'll be back as soon as possible," Chanyeol mumbled a soft Thank you before the crew proceeded on making his order.
Everyone inside the mansion were clueless that Baekhyun and Chanyeol were now inside a plane going to Canada. He wanted to have peace when he brought Baekhyun to the place that will surely wreck him. Baekhyun deserves to know the cruel fate their daughter had gone because why not? Maybe he's not vocal with it, but Chanyeol feels it the way how Baekhyun looks at the kids with longing feelings. No words were needed to be said, it is very obvious on the emotions of the brunet that he misses his daughter so much and he still longs for her. As much as Chanyeol wanted to barge into Jessica's hospital room, he just cannot. He needs his husband beside him. At this kind of state, Chanyeol was unsure of what's the right thing to be done and not.
Chanyeol's lost memory were slowly turning back. Eventhough it's still unclear to him, little pieces of happenings were already coming back. And one of it was the place where he and Jessica fought. It's just a vague thing but he's sure where was that place. After all, Jessica lives in the capital of Canada and it will not be hard for their part to locate the said place.
"Hnng," Baekhyun moaned, with half lidded eyes, his gazes were going back and forth to the man next to him and to the blue atmosphere that he supposed was the sky. "W-where are we?"
Chanyeol was lost for words. He took his husband's hand and gripped it. It made Baekhyun stop from panicking earning a sad smile from his husband. "I want you to be strong."
And then all of a sudden, his heart started beating erratically. "Why? Did something bad happened? Why are we flying? Where are we going? Where am I?"
"Excuse me, Mr. Park. Here's your order already," the cabin crew a while ago assisted Baekhyun on unfolding the desk in front of him and placed the cup of almost-overflowing brewed coffee and two tablets of pain killers. "Do you have anything to order?"
Chanyeol shook his head as an answer and then cabin crew left, leaving the couple in silence. "You should take pain killers. I know your head's throbbing. You almost drank every bottles of beer we gave to the three of you," and with that said, those bottles were meant to be shared by Luhan, Kyungsoo, and Baekhyun. Not only the latter. "We still have a long-ass ride. After that, you can go back to sleep."
"Yeol. . ." Baekhyun's voice was full of emotion. Clueless. "You know that I trust you very much, right?" Chanyeol nodded with that, taking Baekhyun's right hand to his cheeks. "You know that I'll be always here for you, right?"
"I know, Baekhyun. I know," Chanyeol turned his head away to hide his watery eyes. "I'll always be at your side, Baekhyun. Willing to be your shield to everyone and your strong foundation when you're weak."
"I love you, Chanyeol. So much that I don't know what will happen to me if I lose you again. Don't leave me anymore. Please. I don't know if I can be strong again when that time comes," Baekhyun closed his eyes when he felt his husband gently pulling him for a hug, making his head rest on his chest, being able to hear his heart beating only for him. "Promise me, Chanyeol. I know life is full of uncertainties and change is inevitable but I want youㅡ"
"ㅡno one can tear us apart anymore, Baek. Even if they will take me away from you, I'll still crawl back to you because you are my home," that time it's like only the two of them matters in their world.

Warm breeze of winter is what welcomed Baekhyun and Chanyeol, good thing there was a clothing shop nearby where the cab they hailed dropped them so Chanyeol was able to buy pairs of gloves, long leather jackets, and bonnets for the two of them. Eventhough Baekhyun's hands were already clothed of gloves, Chanyeol still took his husband's hand inside his jacket's pocket and interlaced their fingers because of two things. One is because he doesn't want Baekhyun to feel foreign at Canada wherein people around them speak in universal language and second is, Chanyeol doesn't want Baekhyun to be far from him even just for a second. Things Chanyeol do for his one and only love, Park Baekhyun.
"Where are we going? Why are we here in Canada? Does Luhan and Kyungsoo knows about it?" Baekhyun bombarded Chanyeol with his questions while his eyes were glued on the buildings where they were walking around. "Do you even know where are we going at? Chanyeol, this is Canada. This is a foreign place for us. We're Koreans. We can't even speak English fluently. How are we going to communicate with Canadians here? Does they have Korean embassy here? Oh my gosh. Am I not gonna make it alive back to Korea?"
Chanyeol rolled his eyes with his husband's questions and worries. Of course he won't come to a place like Canada if he can't speak in English. Lastly, he will never let anything Baekhyun has been worrying about to happen. As long as Baekhyun is with him, his safety is rest assured. "Can you please stop blabbing for a second?"
Baekhyun stopped on mid track and his hands were instantly folded on his chest. "Did you just asked me to shut up, Park Chanyeol?"
"Kinda. Can't you see? People were eyeing us like were mad people. Thanks to your nonsense chatters, Park Baekhyun," and then Chanyeol started walking once again, still mindful of the gawking brunet behind him who was glued on his position. He left Baekhyun with his mouth hanging open when he spoke in English. Not that Baekhyun didn't understood what Chanyeol has said (or maybe impartially) but the real reason? He finds Chanyeol speaking in English so sexy.
When Baekhyun was still looking at him with astonishment, Chanyeol walked back towards his husband and gently knocked his forehead, making Baekhyun's senses come back. "Will you stay right there under this kind of weather with your mouth gaping open and freeze to death or do you want to go in our hotel room and drink hot chocolate already?"
Baekhyun then blinked thrice, earning a rolling eyes from Chanyeol because he has it again. The puppy look that never failed to make Chanyeol's heart flutter. "S-sorry. I wasn't just used of hearing you speak like that."
"If you wanted to hear it more often, all you have to do is to ask, Baekhyun," Chanyeol winked. He took back his husband's hand inside his pocket once again and pulled him closer next to him, enveloping his arms on his short shoulders. "Don't be too obvious, Baek. People were eyeing you. You're a fresh meat in their eyes. I don't want to punch anyone here," then he smiled in fakery to the guy who was just staring on Baekhyun a while ago.
"I'm sorry, okay? I'll try not to look cute anymore," Baekhyun said and his expression changed from cute to fierce but it still made people eye him to which annoyed Chanyeol even more.

After bathing himself, Baekhyun joined Chanyeol on sitting on the soft bed of their hotel room. The giant seemed not to notice the shifting of the mattress when the brunet sat because he's too preoccupied of whatever he's thinking that Baekhyun has no clue about. Stroking the giant's buff and toned arms didn't helped at all. Chanyeol seemed to be too immersed on his thoughts to the point that it made Baekhyun kind of mad at him. Alas! He already came back to his senses when Baekhyun started pinching his elf like ears. He hissed at his husband's pouting face next to him when the pain of his action strikes him.
"What?" Chanyeol asked in annoyance, taking note that his husband was only wearing a bath robe, not minding if he has anything underneath or what. It doesn't matter anymore.
"I'm talking to you and you're not listening to me!" And that made Chanyeol's facial expression softens. "If we came here just for you to space out, then it will be better if I'll ask Kyungsoo to get me a plane ticket back to Korea tonight!"
"I'm sorry," two words that melted Baekhyun's heart once again. Chanyeol took his right palm towards his cheeks and closed his eyes with the warmth of his husband's hand. "Are you ready to go?"
Baekhyun took back his right hand and glanced away. "I don't feel good about this day, Yeol. Maybe we can do it tomorrow? It can wait, right?" When Chanyeol didn't answered, Baekhyun's panic risen. "Yeol. . ."
Chanyeol tried to fake a smile and he's glad that it somehow lifted his husband's feelings. Whether he's faking it or not, Chanyeol realized it will be too early to bring Baekhyun in there. He must've prepare him before telling him the reason why they were here. "Okay. What do you want to do today?"
"Can we look around the area?" Baekhyun asked.
"Weren't you tired? Because I am," of course Baekhyun won't be as tired as Chanyeol now. Chanyeol gave his best just for Baekhyun to have a comfortable sleep while they're on their way to Canada. "I feel like all I wanna do today is to sleep. I'm tired," and then he lets his body fall on the soft mattress, pulling the pillow behind Baekhyun's back and hugging it.
"Come on!" Baekhyun retorted and started pinching Chanyeol to parts wherein he knew it will tickle his husband. "You're no fun! It's my first time here while you live here for two years so can you just please tour me around?"
"To be honestly speaking," Chanyeol murmured, his face, still being hidden behind the soft-covered pillow. "I'm not familiar here. I stayed in Canada for two years. And I'm only conscious for one day," and that made Baekhyun stop from his tantrums. "But on the other hand," Chanyeol suddenly rose from the bed and took a quick peck from Baekhyun. "Let's go? Let's just wander around and let alone worry if we will be lost. What's important is that we're making memories together, right? Consider this as my payback for the two years that I failed as your husband, Baek."
"Chanyeol. . ." Chanyeol always has his own choice of words that never fails to melt Baekhyun's heart. He's just like that and Baekhyun's thankful of having this sweet and genuine giant beside him. "It's okay. I understand. You don't have toㅡ"
"ㅡBaek, I want to," Chanyeol cupped Baekhyun's cheeks and gently squeezed it, earning a pinch from the brunet. "Let me do it. Even if I didn't lost the chance to be with you during those years, I'll still do the same. Because that's my role in this relationship right? To be the one who will guide you and make you happy and feel loved. I love you, Park Baekhyun. To the moon and back. This time, no one can tore away us anymore."

"I want some ice cream, Yeol," Chanyeol nodded, taking out his fat wallet on his pants. He gave the cashier couple of dollars and told the flavor that Baekhyun likes a lot. After handing it to the brunet, he started licking it while looking suspiciously at the giant watching him eat the said dessert. "Won't you eat? It's your favorite, too, right? Let's share."
But instead of accepting the cup of ice cream, Chanyeol just shook his head and pushed back his husband's hand that's been holding the ice cream cup. "I'm still full, besides, I love watching you eat. You look very happy while eating your favorite foods."
Baekhyun nodded, standing next to his husband, he interlaced their hands and started walking for the both of them. "Remember when I'm on my second semester of pregnancy? Your sleep will always be disturbed because of the cravings I had that time and mind you, those weird cravings. Up until now, I still feel sorry for being a burden that time."
Chanyeol nodded. Although it's still vague to him, he's sure that Baekhyun looked so cute during that time. He hopes that he will recover his memory sooner. "You're never a burden, Baekhyun. I'm sure when that time comes again, I won't hesitate even if I'm tired of having a long day at work, I'll still search for your weird cravings during ungodly hours."
"Did I already told you how lucky am I to be your husband?" Baekhyun showed the kind of smile that no one can see aside from his husband because it's only for Chanyeol.
"Did I already told you that it's me, the luckiest one to be your other half?" Chanyeol retorted, leaving the brunet's face burning red.
