Oh Sehun was making his appearance more often at the company, so much that Aera memorized his favorite tea. Jasmine chamomile.

 

She placed the mug down carefully before excusing herself. 

 

“Thank you, Shin Aera was it?” Sehun mentioned.

 

Aera does not recall introducing herself to him, but nonetheless felt honor that he knew who she was. Before she left, she caught a glimpse of a rather frail Baekhyun. His complexion was very pale compared to yesterday.

 

After their meeting had concluded, Aera was called in to the office. Baekhyun seemed restless, throwing his neck back against the chair. 

 

With his eyes shut tightly, he slid his car keys across his desk towards her. Aera stood still, unsure of what he wanted her to do.

 

“Take me home,” he ordered.

 

“What?” 

 

“I’m tired, take me home,” he said softly.

 

Seeing him soft spoken and weak like this was not common. She knew he wasn’t feeling well since this morning. Just this one time, she decided to obey his order for once. Aera reluctantly took the keys and followed behind her boss. She noticed him holding on to the elevator rail for support. Feeling somewhat bad, she scooted closer to him to offer her support. As carefully as she could, she put one of his arms over her shoulder then proceeded to lift his posture up using her body for support. 

 

The pair made it to the company garage where his car was parked. She helped him into the passenger seat before running over to the driver’s seat herself.

 

“Pretty sure you have enough money to hire a driver,” she muttered under her breath.

 

“I enjoy torturing you,” he mocked weakly. 

 

In all honestly, he wanted her there over anybody else, just in case if the devil wakes. Aera pulled up to his driveway, expecting a group of people to gather around and aid their employer. To her surprise, the house was completely empty. 

 

She took a deep breath before helping him out all by herself. She managed to support him all the way to the front door after struggling to just get him out of the car. Fortunately he was sti

Chapter 21: <span class='smalltext text--lighter'>Comment on <a href='/story/view/1447168/21'>an ending.</a></span>
I already know that there is an angst tag in there. But I still read it. And guess who's crying now :") This is truly...... heartbreaking, beautifully tragic. The pain is real, the sorrow is real. I really like your writing style. Your idea of having celebrations in one day is great. I hope there is an alternative happy ending for both of them. I wonder if the real Baekhyun really loves Aera? How is their relationship going after this?

Anyway, thank you so much for the emotional rollercoaster ride (and tears). I really really enjoyed this story!❤️❤️

Chapter 21: Why why why why am I crying even tho I knew it was angst. Why am I sobbing right now? This is the saddest story I've read so far. I'm really sad but author you've done a very good job at bringing out the emotions and the angsty-ness into this story. At some points I was confused, like who was in love with aera? Baekhyun or the devil. But I think I've understood it now that I've read it till the end.

This is really a great story and I think one of the saddest but well written Baekhyun stories out there.

Thank you so much author for this amazing piece of fiction. I hope you could give us a sequel to this open ended ending sometime in the near future, of course, if that's possible to tell us what happens with ceo baek and aera's relationship.

Loved it, enjoyed it, adored it too. Thank you so much author 🥺❤

Chapter 21: Awwwww after rereading this again I still get the same feelings from it. Although now I'm happier about the ending and it's easier to see how much they cared for one another but sigh I still wish they had tried to find a way to have them coexist somehow...lmaoooooo
