It was coming to the end of the concert when it was time to dance the infamous "History" choreography. Baekhyun knew the entire song on the back of his hand at this point in EXO's career and so he wasn't particularly worried about how the night would end. Though glancing around to the other members, he could easily see the fatigue nipping at the corners of their consciousness.

Luhan and Sehun were looking fired up as usual even though their bodies were on the verge of collapsing, Jongin and Kyungsoo had been tiredly staring at each other for who knows how long, Zitao and Yifan were attempting to play fight with Jongdae and Minseok while Yixing and Junmyeon just watched everyone amused. Chanyeol on the other hand was off to the side with Baekhyun looking somewhat sickly.

His pale skin seemed almost luminescent as he gave tired smiles to the thousands of fans out in the crowd. None of them seemed to notice the change in his behavior. Even the way he walked with a slight limp towards his place on the stage showed that something was wrong and only Baekhyun truly took notice of his disheveled appearance.

He wanted to ask if his tall friend was alright. He wanted to know if he was feeling well or not. He wanted to know what was wrong with him. But none of those would be answered until the dance began.

It started off superb, all the fans cheering loudly while EXO performed with bright smiles and gave it their all to give a great final performance. But near the end of the final chorus part, a loud thud was heard from near the back of the group. Baekhyun only had to glance over his shoulder to see the horrid sight.

Lying there on the cold floor of the stage was his best friend, unconscious and looking to be in pain. Loud gasps were heard from the crowd, but none of the other EXO members stopped the performance to help their fallen friend. They were always told by management and their choreographers that when something like this happens, they need to just continue on with the song till the end. But Baekhyun, he couldn't do it.

He immediately broke out from the front of the group and pushed pass the other members in order to reach Chanyeol. Luckily the song was almost over when Baekhyun dropped to his knees and quickly moved Chanyeol's head so that it rested on the top of his thighs. Everything around him seemed to vanish as he tried to shake the taller awake.

"Chanyeol.." Baekhyun mumbled under his breath. "Chanyeol, hey Chanyeollie! Wake up!"

The staff had already cut Baekhyun's mic so that his increasingly growing in volume pleas couldn't be heard through the speakers. Once the lights dimmed and the concert was officially over, the other EXO members quickly rushed to where those two were and began pulling Baekhyun away from his unconscious best friend.

He immediately began thrashing in Yifan's arms as he tried to break free and rush back to Chanyeol who was currently being carried off the stage by Jongin and Sehun. "Kris let me go!" The words that were meant to be an order came out as more of a beg while he watched that tall giant being carried further and further away from him.

"No Baek, you're already freaking out so calm down." Yifan spoke with a deep and concerned voice. "That derp probably fainted from not enough sleep anyway so just calm yourself."

Yifan ended up leading Baekhyun away from where the other members were taking Chanyeol. Kyungsoo and Yixing followed Baekhyun and the tallest member of their group into a secluded dressing room, away from the staff and any of the paramedics that were sure to come for his fallen friend.

He wasn't allowed to leave the room until it was time to head back to the dorm. Yifan, Yixing, and Kyungsoo had kept Baekhyun company for a good hour as he had a small break down. His best friend had just collapsed after all.

          Baekhyun didn't know what to feel as him and his three friends exited the room. He couldn't wrap his head around the fact Chanyeol had collapsed. Why didn't that Yoda say anything to him? Why didn't he tell someone that he wasn't feeling well? Why did this bother him so much anyway? Sure Chanyeol is Baekhyun's bestest friend, but the way he's feeling now isn't how he feels towards the other members when he sees them hurt...

          "Hey Chanyeol, don't worry about the performance!" Jongdae chirped as Baekhyun, Yixing, Kyungsoo, and Yifan all approached their group.

          "But I ruined it..."

          Chanyeol's voice was just above a whisper. A broken one at that.

           Baekhyun managed to push past the members who were surrounding his best friend who sat on a bench and made it so he stood directly in front of his sitting form. Chanyeol didn't look up as he rested his elbows on his knees and buried his face into the palms of his hands in defeat.

          "It's alright Chanyeollie..." Baekhyun whispered. "Don't beat yourself up for this."

          His words seemed to ring out into the sudden silence as he walked closer to Chanyeol and wrapped his arms around his back, pulling him close. Baekhyun kept one hand on the tallers back and another resting against the back of his head that was pressed softly into his upper chest. Slowly, Chanyeol moved his arms so that they wrapped lowly around Baekhyun's hips, preventing him from moving.

          A chorus of "awwwws~" we're heard from behind as the two of them shared their moment. But even with the loud chatter from the other members, to Chanyeol and Baekhyun, it felt as though they were the only two there.

"Thank you Baekhyunnie..."

The shorter smiled as he held Chanyeol even tighter. He didn't like seeing him in this state. So much self doubt and wishing that what happened on stage never happened, the regret and disappointment so evident in his voice. Baekhyun didn't like it one bit.

"Don't worry Chanyeollie, I'll always be here for you."

But as long as they had each other, Baekhyun didn't mind in the slightest bit holding Chanyeol when things didn't turn out how they wanted them to.
