Chanyeol threw death glares at the boy sitting in front of him.  

As much as he wanted to shoo the intruder-- away and snuggle back with his lover, he ing couldn't because Baekhyun had threatened him with a 'do-it-and-you-will-never-have-it-with-me' threat. He didn't mean it of course because c'mon! Who will dare to deny that handsome face with an equally handsome body? But boy, how wrong he was when Baekhyun's face had gone from all cute and smiling to a serious deadly one and Chanyeol gulped down, nodding to the smaller's request. Of course, Chanyeol was not some bastard who was angry over the ignored, unsatisfied, and aching hard-on but more pissed because well, uhh.......okay, whatever but he still couldn't understand why Baekhyun had given priority to meeting the jerk and ruining their first time. 

What was so important that couldn't wait till morning? 

"This couldn't wait till the next day?" Sehun, who seemed to have read Chanyeol's mind questioned, and for the first time in a long time, the taller of the two felt the best friends link with the other.  

"No wonder you and Channie were buddies. "

The two towers coughed heavily, avoiding looking at each other. Then, sitting face to face was enough torture for them and now Baekhyun had to make that comment. 

Great, Chanyeol thought.  

"Whatever. Now could you please explain why have you called me here?"  Sehun said annoyed or maybe trying to hide the embarrassment.

"Gladly." Baekhyun threw a few files titled in bold with 'CONFIDENTIAL'  in front of them and asked the confused boys to read them. Sehun took the one on the top, and Chanyeol followed picking up a yellow file. The room was in complete silence, only the sound of turning pages could be heard. Both Sehun and Chanyeol were completely immersed in studying the files and the contents in it totally blew their tops. It took the two heirs an hour to read them and when they were done with the last ones, they looked amused at the smaller.  

"Don't tell me these are-" Sehun was interrupted in the middle when Baekhyun confirmed with a nod.

"Oh ! How did you manage to get your hands on these?" 

"I am the amazing Byun Baekhyun in case you have forgotten, peasant," Baekhyun smirked, pushing his hair back in style. 

"Now, let's meet someone really special, shall we?" 

A knock on the door was heard right at the moment and the Byun gestured Sehun to get the door.  A man in his twenties and a few inches taller than Sehun stood there at the door and Sehun knew he was sure not here for room service as he was cladded in an Ermenegildo Zenga and the smell of Clive Christian was too heavy to be missed. Also, the sharp facial features and nicely built frame made him look like a runway model.  

But who was he? 

"Is this Byun Baekhyun's room? Please don't tell me I got into the wrong room again!" the man asked with a weird pout that made him look funny in a way. 

"You got the right room," Sehun said and led the way in.  

"Baekhyun." The man handsomely walked towards them. Sehun and Chanyeol looked at each other probably asking if any of them knew who was the man and what in the world was going on. Ignoring them, Baekhyun stood up from his place.

"Hello, Mr. Lee. I'm glad you came. Did you enjoy the wedding?" He smiled, stretching his hands, and greeted the said man with a very professional tone. Chanyeol looked at his lover with eyes wide as a saucepan. How come has his bratty princess turned into a calm and sophisticated businessman? 

"Yes. Thank you for the invitation and please drop the formalities. Call me Jongsuk." Mr. Lee winked as he took Baekhyun's hand and lightly brushed his lips on it making the younger blush. Anger swirled like a red tide within him, his hands automatically curled up into fists. Baekhyun was his! 

"But aren't you a lot older than us, Hyung?" Chanyeol tried to sound less venomous but he failed miserably at it. Baekhyun must've sensed the tension so, he nudged his stupid lover. However, Jongsuk seemed not to notice it and waved his hand away.

"Pfftt..! Age is just a number. My heart is still 18!" 

Baekhyun chuckled at the comment, much to Chanyeol's annoyance. Sehun, on the other hand, rolled his eyes and muttered something incoherent under his breath.  After they were all settled down, introductions were exchanged and then Baekhyun took the lead.

"Mr. Lee-"

"Jongsuk, babe."

Baekhyun smiled sheepishly. Chanyeol groaned. 

"-yeah sorry. Jongsuk here is the CEO of L.Inc-" Baekhyun said, eyeing the other two beings in the room. 

"-and also, he is Naeun's cousin. These files you read a while ago boys were the account details of their company informing us about Naeun's bankruptcy and Jongsuk here is to explain certain things to us."  

"It better be something worthy," Chanyeol mumbled under his breath.

"Thank you, babe. Now, where were we?"

"You were nowhere to begin with."

"Oh never mind! I'll just continue then." Chanyeol rolled his eyes and huffed.

"So, you see, the Kims are my relatives, right? And they are totally broke.  They don't even have a penny left in their accounts to afford something as cheap as bread." Jongsuk stated.

"But Sehun's company has a merger with them right?"

The elder man nodded.

"So, if they're broke, how come they managed to convince the Ohs for a merger? And how come the oh-so-mighty Oh's agreed to it without even the need to investigate? And they even agreed to the wedding. What a bunch of foolish people!" Chanyeol remarked sarcastically and Sehun glared at him. 

"They did actually but, my Uncle is so good in faking things and faking the money and shares is no big job for him. He has done it before." Jongsuk replied casually.

"So the wedding is a-" 

"My Uncle and Aunt are like those greedy creatures who will do anything to smell the green. Naeun too is the same.The girl loves nobody except for herself and her stupid collection of the expensive wardrobe. She is really a I tell you, Sehun."

"No need to state the obvious."  The said boy replied nonchalantly. He didn't need to know what he already knows. All he wants is to find a way to ing stop the wedding. 

"Yeah, okay. Well, now why the wedding right?"

The three nodded in unison.

"You see, the Oh's are right now the richest, having a lot of power and shares-" Jongsuk turned to Baekhyun and winked. "-but of course  are still ranked second because of the amazing Byuns-"

Totally an .

Chanyeol gritted his teeth and swore that if the damned flirting did not come to a stop, he’ll throw the older out of the window. 

"-they came up with the stupid idea of marrying off my evil cousin to the infamous emotionless  Oh Prince and I'm damn sure you know what happens when a couple divorces." he shifted his gaze to the youngest. 

"The property gets divided into half," Sehun replied.

"BINGO! You're a clever boy." Jongsuk gave him a Cheshire smile before continuing again.

"The money drained from you will be used to pay the heavy debts of the banks and some other big companies and also, some gangster mobs. I’ve heard that VIXX is so thirsty for their blood because of the 10 million Won the Kims owe them. But I really don’t know now if the divorce thing is actually gonna happen or not.”

“That is a big amount and if the divorce did not happen then-” Baekhyun gasped. 

“VIXX will be hunting Sehun down!” 

“I so am hoping for that to happen, you know.” Everybody’s eyes turned to Chanyeol. 

“They’ll kill him, right? And then Luhan will be happily living with Kris, not having to cry over and over again because of some heartless bastard.”

“You-” Sehun lost his cool and was about to start a fight when Baekhyun jumped in.

“Just ing stop you two! I am here trying to help you Oh ing Sehun and you are just being a er!” 

“It was your pathetic boyfriend who started it. Not me.” Sehun retorted.

“ I don’t care who started it! But if you don’t stop acting like a god help me from making that ing wedding to happen at like this ing instant in this ing room!” Baekhyun hissed and thankfully, Sehun backed down. 

 "But why are you telling us all of this? You don’t even know us. So why are you helping?" After a few minutes of heavy silence, Chanyeol blurted out the million dollar question. Sure, Baekhyun must've called the guy for help but then how did his lover found him..? 

"Oh I do know someone related. And, I am helping you because I-well you can just say that I'm just returning a favor. "  Glancing at his watch, Jongsuk stood up from his seat and said. 

“I need to go now. Hope you guys succeed in breaking off the wedding. Fighting!” 

Baekhyun walked the CEO to the doors and thanked him for the help and information he has provided them with. Sehun too left, leaving the couple in the room. 

“You- Byun Baekhyun is summoned to the court for answering several questions!” Chanyeol’s voice boomed in the room making Baekhyun giggle.

“Shoot, my lord!”

“Since when have you been doing this?” Chanyeol pulled his boyfriend closer on the bed. As far as he remembers, they have spent most of the time together and not even for once, he suspected Baekhyun to be spying the Kims.

“Since the news about their wedding flooded the papers?” Baekhyun pecked on his cheeks.

“I was actually looking at some of my Dad’s partners list and it turned out that Mr.Kim was one of the partners and there was this folder that contained a hella information about those pigs. The dirty works, their illegal money making, and stuff similar to this. I don’t know from where my Dad got those but as they, everything is fair in business.”

 Chanyeol nodded. 

“Yeah, so, then I started to dig more, hoping to get some more interesting and factual things when Lee Jongsuk came into the picture. He was attending the rehearsals when hyung introduced him to me as his childhood friend. We talked for a while and boy, I tell you if I hadn’t you I would’ve fallen for him already!”

Chanyeol glared at him and Baekhyun couldn’t help but have a hearty laugh.

“I was kidding Yeol! You are stuck with me forever!”

“Shut up!” Chanyeol rolled his eyes.

“Well, so we were talking about my friends when he suddenly asked if Sehun was Oh Sehun who was set to be married to Naeun and when I confirmed, he told me what he told you guys. At first, I thought he was bluffing but then the next day he showed up at the house with those files and I had to believe him. And I had to tell this to Sehun right away! I want to help him and Lu. They deserve each other.” 

“I know. I know. But I just am scared. What if he leaves Luhan again because of something really silly? What is he gonna do about the unborn baby? He made that pregnant, didn’t he? Luhan will surely break down Baek.”

“Sehun has changed now. I know. And about the baby, well I don’t know.  It’s too frustrating. Just give them a chance.”

“It’s not for me to decide Baekkie.” 

Baekhyun hummed half-heartedly. 

“Okay. Now enough about them. You were jealous, weren’t you?” he smirked.

“Jealous? M-me? Haha! You are out of your mind baby!” Chanyeol scoffed.

“Oh you weren’t? Well, okay then. I guess I should just agree to go on a date with him this Sunday. He was so begging me you know.” Baekhyun innocently said, running his fingers down Chanyeol’s chest.

“He said I was so beautiful he wanted to kiss m-”

“Nobody is allowed to touch what’s mine.” Chanyeol hissed as roughly crashed his lips onto Baekhyun’s.  

“Who said I am yours? I am not a private property Yeollie.” Baekhyun teased when they stopped for a breather and Chanyeol pouted which suddenly turned into a sly smirk. 

“I’m gonna change that someday babe. Just wait.” 

Luhan stared at the newlyweds on the dance floor. 

Junmyeon was holding Lay by his waist and they were slow dancing in sync with the music. They looked happy. They looked perfect. Giving a last glance to the couple, he averted his gaze and then he totally regretted it. In the corner of the floor was Oh Sehun with his soon-to-be-wife, Kim Naeun, dancing. They were too close that anymore closer, their lips would’ve been touched. He kept on staring at them with a blurred vision until his gaze locked with Sehun and he quickly looked away. No, he was not jealous. 

Of course not. 

That would be so cheap of him, right? They are ing going to get married and have a child on their way. Naeun is going to be his wife and they will be spending more intimate time with each other. Something that Luhan should not even care about.

Oh Sehun and his ing fiance can rot in hell for all he cares. 

He does not need anyone! He is better off being single. He is not lonely. He is strong. He has Chanyeol. Baekhyun. 

An amazing set of friends. He is going to graduate soon with amazing scores and maybe get into the medical college he desperately wanted to attend. 

What more does he want to have?

Love?

 Soulmate? 

Oh please. 

Don’t make me laugh. 

He needs anything but this. In the due course of time, Luhan has come to realize that the love department was never meant for him. He was either too qualified or a complete loser to be in a relationship.  

And who needs them anyway? 

It only makes you go crazy, and make your heart ache to the point where you want to kill yourself to end the pain. It leaves you empty, full of despair and memories you can’t seem to hold onto anymore. It only craves for you to suffer a life without any warm hands embracing you, or any shoulder to cry upon. Maybe, they gave happiness but he knew well that they never last for long, and in the end, it’s just one of the two who ends up being drained out of everything.  

So, he does not need it anymore.

Not now at least.

Standing up from his seat, Luhan decided to have a drink. Yes, he was underage but one drink is not gonna get him arrested or something. Taking a place at the counter, he ordered a Lynchburg Lemonade. It was good lemonade with a shot of Jack Daniel’s-very simple, lemony, sweet, with a dark whiskey vibe.

“You’re drinking.” A familiar voice said.  Luhan hummed and took another sip.

“Lu, I know you are hurt but-”

“I’m fine Soo. Don’t worry. I just needed one drink and that’s it. Being a bartender I’ve always wanted to taste some.” Kyungsoo sighed and sat next to the boy. 

“I know what you must be feeling.” 

“I don’t feel anything. Cool, right?” Luhan chuckled darkly. 

“Lu you-”

“Soo, I gotta go. I’m ing tired and I wanna sleep. See you tomorrow at school.” With that, he stood up, a little tipsy but nothing he couldn’t handle. Kyungsoo tried to help but the deer-like-male said he was alright. He was walking towards the door, trying his best to avoid bumping into anyone when Naeun jumped in front of him.

“I was kinda wondering where you went,” she said. Luhan rolled his eyes and was all in the mood to walk past her when she stopped him again.

“What the do you want?” Luhan hissed.

“Easy, loverboy. I just wanted to invite you to MY and Sehunnie’s wedding. You’ll come right?”

Luhan stayed silent. 

“Oh, I forgot. You won’t. Can’t see your ex-boyfriend getting married to someone much better than you right? And damn, how can I forget not mentioning about OUR baby. You know he had even started thinking about names. Yeah, the gender is not yet confirmed but he is so excited!” Naeun smirked. She was satisfied with the broken look on Luhan’s face when the boy started to giggle.

“What are you laughing about, ?”

“You are ing scared, right? That Sehun will break the wedding if he saw me? You know he still loves me. ”

 Naeun’s expression from victorious one to confused and then to stern one. 

“Oh my, look at you. Little Kitty is scared. Where are your claws kitty-kitty?” 

“YOU-” She stopped midway when Luhan leaned closer and whispered in her ears.

 “Thank you for the invitation by the way. I will definitely come.” 

Baekhyun and Chanyeol were seated on the chairs in front of the gynecologist’s office and waiting for their turn. The passersby were giving them weird looks and Baekhyun wanted to kill himself. It was his idea to go to the hospital to confirm the reports and Chanyeol being the good and caring boyfriend he is, was forced to tag along with him. But now he was regretting it like hell because it has been ing three hours of waiting and while Baekhyun felt like killing someone, his giant boyfriend was enjoying their stay to no extent. God knows where he found a little girl who was playing with him as if she was his own. 

Although the sight was so adoring, Baekhyun was pissed. Maybe he should’ve just sent one of his maids to carry out the work. It would’ve been a lot easier that way.

And would’ve caused no embarrassment too. 

Yup.

“How many months are you due?” A lady sitting next to Baekhyun popped the question and the boy thought he’d faint right there. 

“E-excuse me?” 

“You’re here for the checkup with your wife, right? Is this your first baby?” The lady smiled genuinely.

“I-”

“Yeah. It’s our first baby!” All the eyes were fixed on a giant elf who may or may not have said that out loud and Baekhyun hoped for the ground to crack open and swallow him. 

Me being pregnant?

What the is this?

“You guys are married? Wow. It's really rare to see cute gay couples nowadays! I’ve heard about male pregnancy and I bet your baby is gonna be beautiful” Another lady smiled.

Oh.my.god. SOMEBODY, PLEASE SAVE ME!

“Thank you. I hope too that our precious looks like his/her mother too!” Chanyeol bowed and said. Baekhyun gave him the ‘what-the-hell’ look but the taller completely ignored him as he was busy answering stupid questions like ‘how-did-you-guys-met’ and ‘what-things-were-they-feeding-him’ and god knows what. The whole time Baekhyun glared at him and he may or may not have heard someone saying that he was being a cutie for being possessive over his husband and as much as he wanted to snap back, he felt the butterflies in his stomach and he couldn’t help but imagine how they’d be if whatever the the people were saying became true. 

And it was beautiful.   

“Byun Baekhyun!” the nurse called and Baekhyun nearly fell on his . 

“Easy babe. You don’t wanna hurt our precious now, do you?” Chanyeol winked.

“You better be ready to get buried six feet down, Park ing Chanyeol.” Baekhyun snaped. The couple entered the room and there sat the doctor, Dr. Sojin in her chair. 

“Hello, Baekhyun. How can I help you?” she smiled sweetly, gesturing the boys to take seats. 

“We were hoping you could tell us something, Dr,” Chanyeol asked in all seriousness and Sojin nodded.

“That’s what I am here for, no?”

Looking at each other and nodding heads in something that looked like mutual agreement, Baekhyun sneered.

“Tell us about Naeun’s pregnancy.”
