Thoughts ran through his head as he sat in his office early in the morning. Even if it was the same thoughts continuously, they were unresolved and frankly driving him towards insanity. The neglected paperwork that his secretary had brought him last week was sprawled across his desk. His computer now black from departing from it for too long. He ruffled his hair and rubbed his temples to try to concentrate hard on the work that was piling up. His brows furrowed in frustration and anger at himself.

“Minji, I...I think we should stop seeing each other,” he huffed a sigh.

They laid in bed after work, he in his charcoal grey suit and her in a black dress, just talking about nothing in particular. He, however, always talked about Hana. Hana this. Hana that. Hana, a topic she made crystal clear she hated.

“Why? I thought you loved me, Oppa? Is your wife causing you stress?” she asked, interrupting the man in mid-sentence about Hana.

Minji leaned in closer to undo the buttons on his dress shirt, but he gently placed his hands on hers to stop her from going further. She pouted and rested her head on his chest in exchange.

He shook his head as if it would make the thoughts scram away from him. He took off his specs and did some more rubbing as if the thoughts were sitting in his eyes.

Baekhyun didn't quite know why Minji meant so much more to him. She wasn't loyal and he knew that. Maybe, it was the fact that he knew he wasn't loyal himself that he kept himself by her side because dragging someone else down with him definitely seemed like a good idea at the moment. He kept convincing himself that they were just friends, but friends just don't spend nights together. He let a frustrated groan as that night replayed in his head, the confusion continuously circling him.

“Sir? Mr. Byun?!” his secretary called. His head peeked through from the door as he made sure it was alright for him to come in.

Baekhyun sat up from his slouched position. His eyes widened in alert. He had been so distracted he didn't even hear the door to his office open like he usually would. He looked at his secretary, giving him the attention he wanted.

“Mr. Oh Sehun has arrived.”

Baekhyun nodded his head once, understanding what time it was.

“Bring him in. It’s been a long time,” he coolly said as he tried to hide the nervousness.

Sehun was scheduled long weeks before, and quite honestly Baekhyun spent the long weeks wondering how to handle the situation. Professionally, he had decided.

“He insists on greeting Hana first.”

That ticked off one nerve because he knew Sehun wasn’t really here for business after all. He had kept Sehun’s appointment away from her, and now that seemed to be quickly backfiring.

“Well then. What are you doing? Summon them both, and it’ll be just like a family reunion.”

Or maybe not. Now as he stared at his brother from the tip of his bangs to the end of his shiny, black loafers, it was as if this was their first time meeting ever. His cocky stance has softened over the years to be more relaxed accompanied by a welcoming and mature smile. And, if he couldn't be more wrong, he seemed to have grown just a little bit taller than the last time Baekhyun saw him. It was quite refreshing on Baekhyun’s behalf.

“Ah, just the person I was looking for,” the guest commented shortly after coming through the doors, “And Hana.” She walked through the doors past him to be by her husband's side.

Baekhyun scoffed at his lie and the obvious gaze he had set on Hana. The unfazed look in her eyes contradicted the ever-widening grin on Sehun which made Baekhyun feel somehow more relaxed--like they were finally on one, unanimous side.

“Sehun is here on behalf of Kim Brewery,” Baekhyun greeted his wife.

Hana nodded her head, listening to his introduction as if this was her first time meeting the man.

“Please, have a seat.”

Baekhyun gestured towards the chairs in front of his desk to which Sehun took one while his wife was still in question as to why this concerned her. She insisted on standing behind her husband as he took his seat behind the desk. Her hand held

Chapter 27: Good job for writing this story. I'm still annoyed with sehun for throwing everything away just for a friend tho 😅
But baekhyun's changed and its nice to see how much he cares for his family. Well, second one is on its way. He needs to chill, kids are not easy baek 😅
Like all of their problems could've been solved with communications but none of them seemed to give a chance for explanation. Good thing there was jongin and sehun. It must be hard for sehun to move on tho considering hana's still in life and taejoon often stays with him when his parents want to get rid of the 🤣
I liked your fanfic so i gave an upvote. Thanks for sharing 😊

Chapter 21: What a relief that now baekhyun knows she's preggo and they're willing to give it a try. And im just happy that baekhyun said there is no more minji 🙂
What annoying is it Took him a month to find her. He could've called jongin if he was that eager to get his wife home.

Buuut there is one thing. One thing that's been bugging me with this whole pregnancy thing. They've only done it once. ONCE and it became a baby. Do you know what a baby does???? Being a 😅😅😅
Its gonna be so hard for them to enjoy a y time with a baby around. They haven't even had their honeymoon 🙃

Chapter 17: Whaaaat???? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Oh sehun whyyyy??? That was a reckless movement to choose jihye over his happiness. It was that big decision that put three of them in this situation. Now he's longing for hana as he's never stopped loving her and she fell in love with his brother and his brother is an effin bipolar. Not to mention hana was pregnant when he decided to choose jihye over her. Now she's carrying baekhyn's baby. At this point i will just root whoever will be hana's choice. Baekhyun's okay, sehun's okay too.
Fighting hana! 😅😅

Chapter 8: Well now it makes perfect sense. So first pregnancy was sehun, second one was baekhyun. But... why is baekhyun so bipolar towards her. One time he's this gentleman and the another time he's a jerk. I can understand how depressing it is to be his wife. And hana jas feelings for him. Poor girl 😢

Chapter 6: This is an interresting story. I've subscribed this fanfic years ago and only got a chance to read it now. I love it so much but i'm so confused. Is it because i don't pay enough attention or i haven't got to the explainations bit. She was pregnant when they got married 3 years ago, right? And then she got pregnant again now but not with baekhyun either. The first pregnancy was sehun? And second...? Maybe i just need to keep reading it
