The door opens and closes as people goes in and out of the restaurant, the bell rang with glee when that happens. Warm happiness and enjoyable calmness surrounded the place with a very peaceful and melodic music to top the aura. Pleasant and adorning lights luminated the whole room adding up to the calm atmosphere of the restaurant. It was a great place to finally talk to Baekhyun's man personally.

Baekhyun's parents had set up a dinner with Chanyeol the other day and he was feeling bemused about it. He was hell-like shock, of course but at the same time very happy that his parents had decided to give him a chance. He thought this was impossible and for once, he wanted to slap himself to see of this was even real. But what the heck, it's the reality. It was unbelievable.

But what bothers him if he might do something ridiculous in front of Baekhyun's parents. Or if he might say something odd and pathetic. Or even worse, he would do both of them. They'll probably hate him and curse him, judge him or maybe they'll find him as a stupid, idiotic creepy yoda who doesn't deserve to be with Baekhyun. And hell no, he can't afford having an outcome like that. He should probably be careful at what he'll say and do.

He had done a lot of research at how to face your boyfriend's parents. And he'd learn a lot alright. He learnt that he shouldn't be very stiff, he should look comfortable.

And that's what he's doing right now... being stiff. He didn't really look comfortable at the moment. His tight jeans seems like it's too tight for him when actually it's his exact size. His white, fitting sweater makes him feel like choking. His posture wasn't that comfortable either. So the first might have been a big failure since he can't make himself comfortable. How can he when he felt like pooping at the situation he was having.

Second, he also learnt that he shouldn't be very nervous that anytime soon he's going to pee in his pants. Maybe a little nervous is fine but too much would definitely put you to a danger zone or also known as peeing-on-your-own-pants zone. Tsk. That's very risky. Chanyeol harshly shook his head at the thought of peeing on his own pants. But despite the calming and peaceful atmosphere, he can't help but be a little bit too much in his nervousness, which is really bad.

On the other hand, he had also learnt to be just simply yourself. It would have been easy if he wasn't creepy and derpy (that's what he thought, which is actually true, btw). But what the heck, it says be yourself so he have to be himself. He didn't even know how to be himself at the moment actually but he's got 5 more minutes to be ready and prepare himself.

Baekhyun, on the other hand, was oblivious about this meeting. He haven't told him since Chanyeol wanted to make it as a surprise. He just made an excuse that he can't have a date today with him because he had a lot of things to do, like school and stuff. Well, that wasn't even true, of course but he hoped Baekhyun would understand. Baekhyun would surely be happy about this, in fact, very happy to the point that he'll let him do anything he wants (like that make-out session which was cut off).

Chanyeol surpressed a chuckle, thinking about that cut make-out session makes him pissed off but at the same time funny. He was pissed off because it was cut and he find it funny because of the same reason. He'll definitely go 'all the way' if there's a chance. And he swore he won't let anyone cut it. Even Baekhyun. But of course, he didn't want to be called aggressive, so if Baekhyun doesn't want that, then he doesn't want that either (but of course he wants it).

His thoughts were suddenly disrupted when he saw a familiar couple up ahead of him. They were middle-aged but their faces doesn't look like it, they look young. Their clothes made them look fancy and luxurious, making it obvious that they were absolutely rich.

Chanyeol's stomach churned in nervousness and he felt nauseating. This is it. He thought. He didn't want to impress Baekhyun's parents because all he wanted to do is to make them accept, not only him, but also the love he was having with Baekhyun. He immediately stood up and bowed politely in front of them, which was responded with a genuine smile.

"You can now sit, darling," Baekhyun's mom said which made the giant shock in his position. He had almost forgot that he have to stand up straight. Chanyeol looked at the persons in front of him, they were the people who had been genuine and kind to him even though he was a complete stranger before they had admitted that Baekhyun and him are together.

Chanyeol smiled, showing off his dimples before bowing slightly again and sitting down along with them. "So?" Baekhyun's father started, "It's nice to finally talk to you as Baekhyun's man."

Chanyeol only smiled and bowed lightly. He thought this date would probably end up awkward and tensed but it was indeed comfortable and easy. Maybe he just need to know Baekhyun's parents more. They weren't the strict type but they were definitely the caring and genuine one. "Thank you," he can only say, smile never faltering.

"Have you ordered anything?" Baekhyun's mom asked in a worried tone, "I'm sure you've been hungry because you've waited longer than you could've expected."

"I haven't ordered anything, but I wasn't feeling hungry either because I was nervous the whole time I was waiting," Chanyeol admitted, "But I feel a little bit comfortable right now."

Baekhyun's parents immediately looked at each other, reading their eyes like they were communicating before Mrs. Byun looked away and so did his husband. "Okay," she giggled, "Let's order something."

Chanyeol suddenly wondered if the giggle was a good sign or their eye contacts was a bad sign. But albeit it's that, he wanted it to be a good one.

"Waiter," Chanyeol called out for them as a man with a formal suit went up and handed them the menu. They started ordering their food and drinks before the man went away to get their orders.

"So, Chanyeol?" Baekhyun's mom started as soon as the waiter was already gone, "What is your full name, actually. Sorry, about that, we didn't actually know."

"My full name's actually, Park Chanyeol," he responded.

"Oh," she said in realization, "What does your parents do for living?"

Chanyeol pursed his lips. "My parents actually owned a company. They're currently in Japan running their company in there," he answered.

"Really?" Mrs. Byun uttered, "Do you, by chance, know the name of their company?"

Chanyeol nodded. "Park Enterprises. A company producing building and construction materials," he replied, "I was actually trained for it but I made a decision to focus on my studies first."

Both of the couples in front of him nodded slowly before they looked at each other again but this time, they were wearing unreadable expressions. "Is there something wrong, Mr. and Mrs. Byun?" He asked in a concerned tone.

They immediately looked at him and shook their heads in unison. "Does your parents know about you having a relationship with Baekhyun?" Mr. Byun asked, making Chanyeol's eyes to widen. He was hoping that this was a sign that they had already accepted him but he knew he shouldn't expect too much.

"No. But I'm going to tell them anytime soon," he said. And he's really going to do it, after his problem with Baekhyun's parents. He wanted to take Baekhyun to Japan, have a little vacation, cool off and finally meet his parents. He knew it wouldn't be that hard for his parents to accept Baekhyun. It really won't be hard accepting Baekhyun.

"Do you really love, Baekhyun?" Mr. Byun asked sternly after a pause of silence.

Chanyeol suppressed his jaw to drop. It felt unbelievable that they were having doubts. But the words that came out from his mouth next we're unexpected but sincere.

"Do I love Baekhyun? Maybe not, maybe yes. Because if I don't then I won't be feeling like having a heart attack every time I see him. If I don't then I won't be feeling elated and ecstatic every time I see him smile. If I don't then I won't be able to feel madness and overwhelming happiness every time we're together. If I don't then I won't be ending up here," he suddenly paused for a while and took time to look at them in the eyes, "If I don't then what do you call those feelings that pops out of me every time I think of him. If it isn't love then no one could tell me what it is.

"I love him more than I could even think. Please believe me. I won't be here in front of you if this means nothing. I love your son."

Chanyeol said those words with love. He was thinking of Baekhyun when he said those. He didn't even know his mouth could say those words but he guesses that love has full of surprises. Love had even surprised himself. The once player became a loyal boyfriend to someone he can't even imagine deserves a person like him but more than that a player like him. He loves Baekhyun so much that he didn't ever want to let go and Baekhyun's parents can't hide that fact. They had seen love in Chanyeol's eyes as he said those words. Even a small mention of Baekhyun's name made his eyes sparkle in happiness and it wasn't hidden from the couple.

Baekhyun's mom nodded understandingly. "You know what? I think Baekhyun had chosen the right person for him," she said, causing Chanyeol's pupils to dilate, "It took time for us to realize."

"At first we were, of course, devastated," Baekhyun's dad admitted, "We love Baekhyun so much and as his parents we didn't expect something like this to happen especially when we should've a good reputation as businessmen. It was unbearable to look at your kid like a virus but that's what actually happened. We had avoided him. We didn't know it might've hurt him a lot. We should've been more understanding. Because as his parents, we should always accept our children no matter what they are. We haven't realize that our reputation as parents became bad. So we decided to give you a chance."

"It wasn't that hard to give you one. You're the person who deserves one, anyway. We should've done this sooner. We're very sorry. We've been at worst, horrible even. As parents and as a person," Mr. Byun gave out a pause, "But our child's happiness is also our happiness. I hope you take care of him."

Chanyeol's jaw dropped. He can't explain what he's currently feeling. Dammit. Shit. Oh, crap. Is this real!? It was unbelievable. He was happy, elated, ecstatic, excited, shitty and everything. He felt like jumping for joy, rolling in glee and shouting. He wanted to scream and tell the world that he's going to marry Baekhyun, anytime soon. Of course, that will happen. He's going to propose! Oh god. He must find the most beautiful ring in Korea. He can't explain what he's currently feeling. He can't find the right words to say. "I don't know what to say," he muttered panting on his own thoughts.

"But perhaps if- I'm asking for Baekhyun's hand..." Chanyeol finally said after moments of thinking. He's going to propose immediately. He didn't ever want to let go of Baekhyun. Not right now that he had finally made Baekhyun's parents believe that there love was real and more than that, no one could ever break it.

"I love him so much, Mr. and Mrs. Byun and I know you already know that but there's something I also want you to know... I don't want to let go of him.

"I want Baekhyun's hand. I want to marry him."
