che cosa mi stai facendo?

Baekhyun's POV

I held my head in my hands and groaned audibly. I was feeling very tired and mentally exhausted.

It was just 12.30pm and I was in my office, preparing this damn project which I had to present tomorrow. I was workaholic from the very start, I accept that.

But that time I had Hera as my secretary, she used to handle work like snap of fingers and I hardly had to worry about it. She made me addicted to her. I didn't have to worry about anything but right now..

"Sir.. it's ready" I sighed and looked up to see Sara holding piles of folders in her arms "I arranged them alphabetically just like you wanted".

I couldn't take it anymore and slammed my hand on table in frustration. She jumped visibly scared but I was annoyed beyond the point right now..

"I told you to arrange them date wise. I need to study company's progress throughout years, don't you have a thing called common sense??" I exclaimed while she stand there with her head bowed down. "Now don't stand here. Go and do your work" I snapped and she nodded her head before leaving my office in haste.

From the past month, I had grown a habit to leave office early.

Could you blame me?

She was highlight of my day. I wanted to spend time with Hera and right now I could give anything just to have her in my arms. Funny, how time used to pass when she was here, sitting 10 feet away from me, instead of Sara, my new PA.

I used to like her around and sometimes I purposely over did did overtime just to spend more time with her. My phone rang, signaling a message. I opened it and saw the text from Hera..

I miss you

I rolled my eyes at that. I liked old Hera better, the one who used to get flustered at my ual remarks or whenever I used to get closer to her but this Hera...

I didn't know what was wrong with her. She was acting strange. Today morning she helped me getting ready, saying this was a good wife's duty. She even gave me a cheesy goodbye kiss. I wanted skinship, I won't deny that but what Hera was doing and demanding was a complete foreign Concept for me. I didn't do relationships and I wanted her to know that before she took my silence for something else.

I smirked. Let's have some fun.

God! I wish I could see her face right now. She must be red as tomato. I didn't expect a reply but my phone rang again.

She replied!

Why do I feel like I should pay you a visit dear husband?

I could imagine her angry face typing away the words hurriedly.

I'm waiting.

"Baekhyun... " I looked up and nearly fell off my chair when I saw Hera's head popped in through my office door.

What the actual ?

"Your wait is over. I'm here" she chirped.

"Someone's is . Can't get enough of me. huh?" I smirked.

" you" She said rolling her eyes.

"Oh yeah, you would be doing that after I'm finished with work." I replied, cockily.

"I thought you must be sulking, considering the amount of work you have today but here you're in your full cocky mode" she sighed strolling inside the office.

"Well! I was, but your voice always lighten up my mood" I said and it was an honest answer.

"Baekhyun.. you and your way to play with words. Do you never get tired of being your cocky self?" she asked and I shrugged..

I watched as she placed lunch box on table before settling herself on couch.

"So did you meet Mr Kim? I mean, have you finalized the deal?" she asked as I stretched out to overcome my laziness.

"Yeah. I met him in bar. Goong yo will be dealing with us" I said, looking through the files for some data.

"Bar? You're drunk?" she asked giving me a disapproving look.

"No!" I atonce replied and cursed myself for leaking that information.

Apparently for some reason, Hera didn't trust me with alcohol.

"Baekhyun!" she exclaimed in a warning tone. I rolled my eyes and let out a sigh.

"Okay! maybe a little."

"Baek.. how many times do I have to tell you not drink when doing a business deal. You can't hold your liquor down"

"Hera, I'm fine. Drinks went smoothly. He accepted the deal. Actually, I'm currently preparing project for tomorrow's meeting with him" I said, hoping she would drop the subject.

"Okay...just don't do that again" she gave me a small smile but I couldn't find it in myself to return it. "Come on lets have lunch"

"What's with sudden lunch?" I asked as I went to her, the delicious aroma of food greeted me as soon as she opened the lid.

One thing I loved about my married life was Food prepared by her.

"A wife should always know her husband's need and I knew you were pressurized under work.. so I prepared lunch" she said proudly and I restrained myself from making any comment.

Why?

Because I wanted to enjoy my lunch peacefully.

"You should rest a bit before resuming your work" she suggested once I finished my lunch.

"No I'm fine" I told her.

"I'm not asking.. I'm ordering you" she said in bossy tone. I internally rolled my eyes but nodded nonetheless. She was leaving anyways.

Why create drama?

But boy was I wrong? The girl stayed there even after lunch and made me sit beside her on couch "Now close your eyes for few minutes. Do you want me to sing you lullaby?"

I gave her a look and she cleared looking away. My dear wife was really starting to get on my nerves. We sat there silently and just when I was about to stand up, her head came on my shoulder dramatically.

My entire body froze when I felt her snuggling into me.

What should I do?

Aishh this woman! Do I look like a pillow?

"Ya" I disturbed her a little bit but she just snuggled more closer, her hot breath hit the crook of my neck and I bit my lip.

Screw the work. I thought before placing my head back on arm of couch with Hera in my arms. I watched her laying in my arms and couldn't help but smile.

She was looking cute.

The evening light glitter of her silky chestnut hair and I gazed at the beauty lying in my arms, breathing softly.

She was so beautiful.

The woman in my arms was my wife, life partner someone I was supposed to spend my life with.. she was mine.

But still I couldn't accept her, I couldn't find it in myself to give our relationship a chance. I just couldn't..

The need to touch her was so high that I couldn't help but reach out for her as I caressed her cheek.

She stirred a little breaking my train of thoughts. I watched as she slowly opened her eyes and as soon as her eyes met mine, she bit her lip.

"It's evening already. Wake up" I said.

"Good evening" she whispered shyly, her cheeks flushed as she looked away awkwardly. "I'm sorry you must have work to do"

"Yes" I replied simply as I again sat behind my desk.

"So I will see you at night" she said but I didn't look at her.

I just nodded simply and heard her footsteps walking away from me.

Z Hera had been my secretary for a long time now and I knew her very well. She was smart, intelligent, responsible and a very lively person but her one mistake lead her to this hell hole.

I was getting confused about her and I knew only one person could help me out of this. I picked up my phone and dialed a familiar number..

"Baekhyun?"

"Long time no see brother" I sighed "Lets meet over drinks"

"It's about Hera.. isn't it?" Suho asked me and I chuckled.

"All this time.. and you can still read me like a book"

"I'm your big brother" he said smiling and patted my back.

"You've funny way of showing that" I mumbled gulping down my drink.

"Baekhyun don't start" he warned me before finishing his drink in one go.

"Why did you do that? I mean how were you so sure about sister-in-law?" I stared at him questioningly "You chose Irene over us. Why?"

"You want to ask what made me do that?" he shook his head before replying "I never choose Irene over you guys Baekhyun. Family is always first for me"

"Pardon?" his words confused me a bit.

"Irene was a family too Baekhyun and father asked me to choose between her and them. I could not leave her alone just because someone asked me to. I vowed to.."

"I vowed to love Hera too. I don't think I'm doing well with that" I countered back.

"Well I love Irene. She's my life" he told me.

"Well to be me then.. My love is not with me" I poured myself another glass.

"What do you think about Hera?" he asked.

"She's hot" I shrugged while he let out a defeated sigh.

"Don't you ever get that overprotective feeling for her? like you wanted to stay with her all the time and protect her from anything that could possibly hurt her" he asked me and I thought for a second.

"Well for one I can't possibly want to stay with her all the time.. she'll bite off my ear with her constant chatting. Second she's trained in martial arts... why would she need me to protect her?" I said and Suho gawked at me strangely.

"You know what? I surrender" he held his hands up in defense and I laughed lightly. "But remember Baekhyun.."

I looked up and saw him giving me an intense stare "Love is something that lasts forever and I'm telling you.. you won't know when it'll enter here" he placed his palm over my heart "Beware little brother"

"You're drunk" I rolled my eyes and he snickered. "Come on Irene must be waiting for you" I paid the bills and we made our way out. "Message me once you get home" I told him and he nodded, his eyes half closed. "Take care of him" I told his driver who nodded.

I watched his car vanishing from my sight and then climb in the car. "Take me home" I told my driver before closing my eyes.

"Baekhyun __" Hera tried to talk to me as soon as I entered in the house but I cut her off in middle..

"I'm going to study. You already wasted my time in afternoon. Don't disturb me now" I avoided her eyes as I walked away from her.

"Okay" I heard her replying in small voice.

So for next 2 hours I spent time in Study room, doing nothing but staring at the wall.

My dad was pissed at me for some sort of business deal that I had refused to sign because it wasn't that beneficial for us. See I never fought with my dad but that day we'd had a big fight and after he left in anger. I was furious and sad, a hot mess. My relationship with my family was pretty close, so yes I was upset.

I still remembered the moment she had walked into the office, stared at me for a minute and then had given me tender and warm hug.

"I'm sorry" she said with such warmth, sincerity and affection that my heart swelled up with a strange feeling that day.

I was confused with myself.. with my feelings.. with events happening. Why was it so hard to understand Hera or myself??

I walked into my room around 2 in the morning to watch a sleeping Hera snuggled into the blanket.

I stared at her face for a while before my hands reached out to touch her face, my knuckles ran on her soft skin as she cuddled more in blanket.

I glanced over at Hera, brushing a stray lock of hair across her face but atonce snatched my hand back as if it were burned, trying to erase the moment of tenderness.
