"I-I have gathered some more information, Sir... Where should I leave it?"

"Give it to me." Chanyeol stretched out his arm to snatch the paper's from the girl's unsteady hold. "How much did you find?" He asked as he crossed his legs elegantly on top of his clean desk and started reading through all the papers he was given.

"As much as I c-could, I'd like to think it was a g-good amount.." The female stuttered as she stands there fidgeting with her fingers and looking anywhere but Chanyeol. He sighed and threw the papers somewhere on his desk, withdrawing his legs from his table. This is a start I guess...

"Right, you're dismissed or whatever.." The taller shooed her away without sparing her a single glance. When he heard the door click, he was sure he could continue the unfinished research.

He was silently working when all of a sudden, the door opened and Kris suddenly barged in the room.

"What's that your working on?" The tallest asked as he strolled over to Chanyeol's desk and to get a peek.

"Oh nothing, just this long article on how to get an asshole to mind his fucking business–" He paused, "Also have you never learned to knock before you come barging in?" Chanyeol shot back at him with a burning glare, instantly closing his laptop. Kris caught a glance of the papers in the younger's desk before he could hind them tho.

"Is this about that Byun Baekhyun kid again?"

"And why do you care?"

Kris fell silent. So silent that Chanyeol was about to go back to work before he could, the older suddenly began again.

"Why do you want to know about him so much anyways? I don't remember being followed by someone when he first met..." He muttered quietly with a scowl.

Chanyeol pretended he didn't hear him and called one of his bodyguards to come kick Kris out.

"I can walk out myself, you know–" The older smiled bitterly before walking towards the door in a dramatically slow manner, Chanyeol's piercing gaze not leaving his back as he journeyed to the exit. "Hurry the hell up, I have work to do." He sighed and tapped his feet impatiently.

When Kris was finally out of his sight, he reopened his laptop and continued doing what he was doing before getting interrupted.

"Hey have you seen Baekhyun?"

"How should I know, aren't you two like boyfriends or something?"

"..."

"... He's sick–"

Before Sehun could finish, Chanyeol was already had walked past him. The younger shrugged and continued walking to his class.

But, once again, he was stopped. But this time, by Luhan, his year-old crush.

Sehun stiffened as Luhan had just grabbed his wrist.

"Y-Yes..?"

"Have you seen Baekhyun anywhere?"

The younger frowned. Geez why does everyone want to know where my best friend is all the time? He sighed, this is what I gets for becoming best friends with the popular kid...

"He called in sick for the day, he's probably at home or something, he should be anyways.."

Luhan flashed his dazzling smile at Sehun before he let go of his wrist and walked off.

I'm never washing my wrist again!

Chanyeol parked in front of Baekhyun's house, ignoring the fact he should be in class at this very moment. As he got out of the car, another car parked right behind his. The hell...?

The taller walked towards said car, it was much cheaper than his, much smaller too.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" He asked as the window opened slowly to reveal a certain blonde male.

"I should be asking you the same question" Said male smirked up at Chanyeol who glared down at the blonde.

The male inside the car eventually sighed and turned toward his bag when he knew Chanyeol wasn't planning on moving any time soon. He grabbed a few papers and handed them to the giant who looked down at said papers quizzically. "Give these to Baekhyun, his teacher said it was his homework." Chanyeol grabbed the assignment from the guy's hand then looked up at him. "Now can you please move, I have better shit to do than have a staring contest with the likes of you." He smiled bitterly at Chanyeol. "Didn't you hear me? Hurry up before I run you over." The blonde said through gritted teeth as he watched the giant finally walking away towards his car.

The taller entered his car and waited till the other drove away before he bolted toward Baekhyun's front door and rang the door bell.

He stood there for a while before a lady – who he could only assume was Baekhyun's mother – opened the door. She had a revealing dress on and an excessive amount of makeup with bright red lipstick, she looked like she was about to go out.

"How can I help you, young man?" She asked as she eyed Chanyeol up and down.

"... I heard your son was sick, I came to check up on him."

"Oh! You came for Baekhyunnie~ He's resting in his room! He has a high fever... Are you one of his classmate? His friend?" She asked as she let the taller in.

"Yeah," He simply nodded and began walking to Baekhyun's room.

"His room is–"

"I know where his room, thanks"

Ms.Byun didn't fail to notice the bag in the giant's hand as he made his way to her son's room.

He knocked on the door of Baekhyun's room, it was covered in stickers and bold letters spelling BBH. A soft 'c-come in' from the other side signalling him to enter.

He was greeted with a sleepy Baekhyun who looked back at him with wide eyes.

"W-What are you doing here?! Aren't you supposed to still be at school at this hour!?"

"The teacher didn't come," He lied and watched Baekhyun sigh in relief.

The taller slowly approached the shorter's bed. Baekhyun tried to move away the closer the other got to him.

"W-What are you doing? You're gonna catch my fever you idiot!"

Chanyeol pretended he didn't hear him as he began to removing the contents in his bag. Two white pieces of cloth, water, yogurt and a mini fan. Baekhyun's eye widening as he realized the giant came to take care of him, his heart melting at said action.

"You don't have to–"

"I'm not here because I was forced to, I'm here because I want to." Baekhyun's heart skipped a beat as those words left his lips. The latter unconsciously smiled at the taller.

"Do you have a bucket?" His smile fades as he fully registered the question. Baekhyun nods softly and points at the door across from his. He watches as Chanyeol walks towards the door to retrieve said bucket. The room suddenly grows colder as Chanyeol gets further and further away from him, but when he comes back, the room instantly turns warm again. This can't be good for my fever...

He came back with the bucket now full of water. The giant set it down on the floor as he sat down on the side of Baekhyun's bed, running the strand of cloth in the water then pulling it out, making sure its wet enough but not too wet. When he's sure it's perfect, he lifts Baekhyun's bangs out of the way (which are sticking to his forehead due to him sweating) and carefully places the damp cloth on his forehead. The latter's eyes slipping close as he feels his body cool down a bit, hearing the mini fan abruptly turn on.

"Are you hungry?" The giant mumbled as he placed the mini fan on Baekhyun's bedside table, directing it towards the latter. The shorter nodded softly, blinking sleepily while watching Chanyeol scooping out some yogurt with a plastic spoon and bringing it close to Baekhyun's lips.

"Open."

"I-I can eat by myself–"

"I said, open"

The latter licked his lips and slowly opened his mouth a bit, letting himself get fed by Chanyeol.

About one hour later, Baekhyun had drifted off to a light sleep, Chanyeol was scrolling through his phone when he remembered to change the piece of cloth after an hour or so. As he changed it, Baekhyun almost immediately woke up.

"Do you want some water?" The shorter nodded and got up slowly to get said water. The taller slapped his hand away, grabbing the cup himself and lifting it toward Baekhyun. The latter flushed a bit but accepted it and drank the water obediently.

Chanyeol repeated his for about 4 hours.

It was now 6:33PM, the sun was setting and it was starting to get dark.

"Baekhyun."

The shorter opened his eyes slowly and looked up at the taller, who had his large hand over his small one, Baekhyun was tempted to pull his hand away but a voice in his head told him not to so he didn't. The hand was soon gone tho, Chanyeol gently pealed off the cloth that was resting on Baekhyun's head and placed his large palm on his forehead instead.

"You fever went down. That's good." It is good, now I can go back to school! But it also pains Baekhyun to think that Chanyeol won't be here to take care of him tomorrow... "I have to go soon, so remember to wash that cloth in about an hour." The shorter nodded and watched the giant place some yogurt and a glass of water on his bedside table.

"I'll be here to pick you up Monday so be ready. If your fever rises again tomorrow just call me, I've already added my number on your phone." Baekhyun nodded again. But wait, how did he get access to his phone? He doesn't remember ever telling him his password... The latter shrugged the thought off his head. "I'll be leaving now." He paused, "Oh, right..." Before he gets off his bed, he pulls out a few papers from his bag. "Someone told me to give these to you, I'm guessing it's your homework." He gently placed it on his bedside table and got up, dusting himself off and heading toward the door.

"C-Chanyeol."

The taller turned back to face him, his large hand resting on the door knob.

Baekhyun parted his lips as he watch those eyes stare back at his.

"... Get home safely.."

Chanyeol nodded and mouthed a soft 'bye' before closing the door delicately behind him. Baekhyun sighed loudly and closed his eyes, drifting back to sleep.
