An Audi and a Mercedes Benz were parked in a garage somewhere. It was Chanyeol's house, and by extension, Baekhyun's. Baekhyun was staying over for the weekend for the first time and Chanyeol was extremely excited about the whole situation.

"Welcome to our home," Chanyeol presented the house.

"Yeol, it's beautiful. And it's huge!" Baekhyun was mesmerized by the house.

Chanyeol gave a tour to Baekhyun. The house had a master retreat complete with a foyer, bathroom, and two walk-in closets. It also had a study, grand living area, kitchen, dining area, three guest suites, and even a mini wine cellar. Additionally, the house had a three-car garage and porte cochere at the front, and a gazebo, a loggia, a cabana, and a swimming pool at the back. All in all, Baekhyun was right; the house was huge.

Baekhyun was the one who volunteered to cook and serve dinner and the two happily ate. Baekhyun let Chanyeol wash up first as he loaded the dishwasher. Baekhyun took over the bathroom after Chanyeol. When all their nightly routines were done, Baekhyun was lying peacefully on Chanyeol's chest as the other was leaning on the headboard.

"Ever since I got my memories back, I am having these recurring nightmares," Baekhyun confessed.

"What nightmares?"

"The one where the Red Force was able to trap us in a never-ending maze. Sometimes it's about the experiments they did on us which resulted in our evil clones," Baekhyun talked about his night terrors. "I think it's my subconscious way of dealing with the fact that I might have been one of the reasons why the rest of us were captured."

"Stop blaming yourself, okay? It's all over," Chanyeol comforted Baekhyun by playing with his hair. "If it helps with your guilt, the Red Force was purified due to your ultimate sacrifice. You literally died for the planet."

"Yeah. I sometimes have dreams about that too. Not because of guilt, but something I'm proud I did," Baekhyun giggled. "Oh, and the five blurry figures in my memories are amusing."

"The blurry figures will only clear up once we're done with the ritual," Chanyeol said. "If there is any consolation, we somehow know who is which considering the partners usually stick together."
