"I wanted to see you. Are you free now?" Baekhyun replied nervously.

"Come in." Lee Soo Man said.

"I just wonder.... why you don't want to see me about the rumor." Baekhyun said nervoursly.

"Rumor? What a rumor? Oh. About your relationship with Bomi?" Lee Soo Man answered.

"Ani. The rumor about me and Taeyeon noona are dating." Baekhyun replied.

"Oh.." He respone. He adjusted his position, "I don't even heard about your rumor and Taeyeon." He pretending.

"The rumor has spread out yesterday and you also already give an that statement." Baekhyun told.

"Am I? Sorry I wasn't realized that I actually already give an statement about you and Taeyeon." He said.

"Why you do that, President-nim? You know the rumor it's not true and you also know whom I have a relationship now." Baekhyun said with unsatisfield tone.

"Are you angry, Baekhyun? Look, I have my own reason. So, you just pretend that you have a relationship with Taeyeon even you still don't break up with your girlfriend, right." Lee Soo Man said with a stern look.

"No matter what I won't break up with her, President-nim." Baekhyun replied with confidently.

"What are you so stubborn, Baekhyun. I told you to break up with her and you disobeyed my direct orders! Do you realize what would happen if your photos with Bomi got exposed?!" He scold.

"In fact in that photos doesn't look it was me and Bomi!" Baekhyun raise his voice. It was first time he raised his voice to his CEO. He wants to uphold the truth.

Lee Soo Man immediately slapped hard on Baekhyun's cheek, make his cheek turns red effects of the slapped. Baekhyun felt blood on his mouth and looked at his CEO with a stern look. His hearts filled with a fire, he got tempered. 

"I had to give them your photos with Taeyeon and from now on you had to fake a relationship with Taeyeon!" He shouted. "Now, get out!" He ordered as he sat on his chair. 

Baekhyun obediently got up from his chair and gave the CEO a bow before exiting the room. Before he opened the door, he heard his conversation with someone.

"Taeyeon, where are you! I want to see you now at the usual place." Lee Soo Man raised his voice.

After Baekhyun get out from the room, he decide to following his CEO wants to meet Taeyeon at the usual place. Baekhyun disguised as stranger and began to followed his CEO as soon he saw his CEO came out from SM building and heading to somewhere without his CEO knowing.

As soon as they arrived at the usual place is a cafe was nearby from SM building. Baekhyun spotted Taeyeon was there while waiting for his CEO. Baekhyun pretending was looking for someone and he spotted a chair was near from them. Then he sat on his chair with facing the counter was in front of his table. Taeyeon and his CEO was behind him. Baekhyun began eavesdropped their conversation.

"What's wrong and why you wanted to see me." Taeyeon began asked as soon Lee Soo Man sat on his chair.

"I'm so furious with Baekhyun!" Lee Soo Man said with serious expression.

"Baekhyun? Why?" Taeyeon asked panicked.

"Just now he came to see me at my office. He asked why I tell the media that you and him are dating. It was first time he raised his voice to me, for back up his girlfriend." Lee Soo Man tell the truth.

"What? He raised his voice? What the ." She cursed

"He told me, he won't break up with his girlfriend no matter what." He said.

"No! We must do something to make them break up. I don't care!" Taeyeon scold

"Taeyeon-ah. I'm sorry for slapped Baekhyun. I was out of control that time." He told

"What? Why you slapped him." She raised his voice.

"I'm sorry but he seems he know our plans." He predicted.

"What do you mean?" She asked with serious expression.

"The photos of him and Bomi. He even knew in that photos does not look like him and Bomi." He told.

"In fact, it's him and Bomi." She answered.

"Yes I know. Because you was there but at least you should caught the photo when they revealed their face. When I stared at that photos, he's right. It really does not look like him and I even don't recognize him. " He replied.

"I don't care. What if he still don't break up with Bomi. I'll send those photos to her agency. I'm pretty sure her agency might asked her to break up with Baekhyun." Taeyeon said.

"You should accept the fact. You and Baekhyun aren't meant to be. Well, I admit it, Baekhyun and Bomi are perfect match by heaven." He said sincerely.

"Why you don't back up on me? I looks more pretty than her! I and Baekhyun are main vocal than her?" She smirked, "Oh, because I'm older than Baekhyun and I'm not good to be his girlfriend? Age doesn't matter to me as long as we love each other." She said.

"Are you sure you two are love each other?" He asked.

"I'll make him to fallen in love with me. " She answered.

Meanwhile, Baekhyun was eavesdropped their conversation. His heart was burning a fire and he was furious when he heard the real story behind how his relationship could be revealed. Then, he stood up and walked to exiting the door.
