Baekhyun scrolled through his phone catching up with the world outside the hospital. As Chanyeol worked in the kitchen, the pleasant whiff of food hit the doctor's nostrils making him lick his lips. It had been so long since he had gone out to restaurants and it had been too long only eating the hospital food. 

Since he had no one to go back home to, he pretty much spent his life at the hospital. His eyes twinkled like a child's as he looked at Chanyeol walking through the door with the food in his hands. The elder smiled as he served it in front of the other. 

"You said you were hungry so I cooked up something that was quick. I'm so--", he stopped midway chuckling at how eagerly the other eyed the meal and paid no heed to his words. "Let's eat then.", the doctor nodded and took a bit of his food. "Woah, I thought you were a CEO.". the elder looked up with a smile. "But you're the best chef.", the raven head smiled as he continued to eat his. 

Midway through the meal, they began talking. "So you must be busy if you're a CEO right? Too much paperwork and conferences?", the doctor asked. Chanyeol nodded, "Yeah but that was not something I wanted, it was something that I was obligated to do, you know a family business kind of thing.", he mumbled sipping on his wine. 

"So what about you? You seem too busy.", Baekhyun nodded. "It gets hectic sometimes if it's a long surgery but I still wanted this life and I'm glad to have acquired it.", he gave a pleasant smile. "You said that you are glad to be somewhere other than home and hospital right? What did you mean?", Baekhyun sighed at the question. 

He gave a shrug, "It's been so long since I went out someplace else. I come to the hospital then go back home and if there's some emergency they'll call me again. So that's my life.", Chanyeol nodded, "Can't you take a day off and hang out with your friends or something?". The doctor huffed at the question, "I don't have any friends.", he sadly uttered with a fake smile. 

The raven head was completely shocked and laughed thinking that it was just a joke, "You have good humour for a doctor.", the platinum blonde gave a small laugh shaking his head telling the other that it was the truth. "Woah, how come? I mean, you look cool and your looks are just incredible yet no one came forth to befriend you?", Baekhyun shook his head again. 

"People did approach me, to bully me. I was a nerd or at least that's what they said when they used to beat me up.", he gave a slight chuckle as he continued to eat his food savouring each bite. Chanyeol felt bad for the other regretting asking the question. "I'm sorry for choosing an uncomfortable topic.", he said and the other nodded smiling at him. 

"What about a family outing then? That could be fun.", Baekhyun sighed and the raven head knew right then that it was a sensitive topic too. "My mom and dad broke up when I was in junior high and Dad moved away to Japan while Mom moved somewhere with her second husband when I entered university. I have a cousin but he's married and he's pretty busy with his little family.", he explained and took another bite. 

The more he asked the more Chanyeol felt bad for the other in front of him. "Enough about me, can I ask you something?", the raven head nodded and munched on his food. "You're a busy CEO, what were you doing with a bike that night?", the taller gave a deep chuckle. 

"I told you, right? It's not something I wanted and me and my friends, we always have this race at nights and that's how that happened.", he explained with a sheepish smile. "Then you must have a girlfriend.", the elder gave a confused look, "Since you have more time and live life having fun.". 

Chanyeol shook his head with a giggle, "First, I'm not straight and second, dating can wait 'cause I've got all the time in the world to go marry someone.", Baekhyun laughed. "Well if you're too old then you won't be so handsome, you know? You would have wrinkles and maybe a hunch in the back, your teeth might fall off and your head would turn grey or you could go bald.", "Oh, please stop. I can't imagine myself like that. I don't think about the future, I just live for the moment so that I have no regrets in the future.", he uttered with a peace sign. 

"So what about you Dr Ba--", Baekhyun's ringtone interrupted the other's words. "Just a minute.", the younger said attending the call while Chanyeol nodded and chewed on the last bite of his dish. "Yeah, I'll be there.", he heard the doctor utter. "Hey, sorry. I gotta go back to the hospital.", Baekhyun grabbed his bag. 

"And thank you so much, I loved the meal and I loved the time with you, Chanyeol. There was some emergency and I need to leave, I'm so sorry.", he explained. The raven head wiped his mouth with a napkin before standing up. "I'll take you there, then.", he offered only to be refused by the other saying that he could hail a cab. 

"At this time of the night?", Chanyeol snorted. "There won't be a lot of people and I don't find it wrong to help out a friend.", he gave a smile and pulled the doctor to his car by the other's shoulder despite the blond's refusal. The raven head halted in his steps and Baekhyun gave a puzzled look. 

"Wait you haven't finished your meal yet.", he mumbled to the doctor. "I'm really sorry, Chanyeol.", he apologized and the other was confused. "Why are you apologizing? I asked you since you said you were hungry and you haven't even finished half of it. Will you be alright?", Baekhyun gave a firm nod with a smile. 

Halfheartedly Chanyeol drove the other back to the hospital. Before going in Baekhyun turned to look at the male beside him, "Thank you so much for tonight, I really enjoyed my time.", he gave his box smile with crescent eyes. Chanyeol nodded at the other as he walked out. 

"Wait!", the platinum blonde turned, "Um can we do this again sometime, then?", the raven head made a request and Baekhyun smiled nodding his head before asking for the other's phone and saving his contact under, 'Dr. Baek'.

Chanyeol watched as Baekhyun left and drove back to the cafe to clean up. Once done, he sat there with a glass of wine. His thoughts drifted off to younger. He pitied about how hard the other was working without any concern about himself. 

'Ugh, now I feel bad for neglecting my work too much', he thought and groaned before gulping down the glass of wine and driving back home only to toss and turn since his mind was filled with Dr. Byun.

Just then Sehun entered his thoughts. He knew very well that his cousin had a crush on the petite doctor. At first, he was ready to tell his cousin that he was going to hang out with the doctor but later the thought had completely vanished off his mind. Chanyeol did not want to share his new friend.

A/N

To the n number of sweet readers I have, how was it? It wasn't that bad, right? 

Well, if you could, please drop some comments, that would help me out so much. Thanks. 

And yeah, I suck at writing about dates, fluff or romance cause I've never experienced those stuff before and I don't wish to either. I write from what I've seen on TV or in books. I'm sorry if it's too bad...

I'll try updating on alternate days but I have exams for a few days so please bear with me, thanks

Love you guys! Stay safe and take care

XOXO
