PART 15

Sequel Fizzle Out : Love Me Harder

At one in the evening, Grandma Park feels hungry. Her favourite restaurant is located at the outside of this mall. Grandma Park heads to the restaurant followed by Baekhyun is struggle to carry her belongings.

"wow, this restaurant is really big!" Baekhyun praises although he is only looking at the front of the restaurant. He has not entered yet.

"what are you doing here?" Grandma Park asks. "you just wait for me at the outside until I'm done having my lunch. You don't have to come into the restaurant with me. unless you can afford to eat in this high-class restaurant," Grandma Park snickers. Baekhyun mums. "just go anywhere and take a really good care of my belongings," Grandma Park commands before going into the restaurant.

Baekhyun is searching a food stall to buy his lunch. There are a lot of boutiques, cafes and expensive restaurant around here. a lot of belongings in his hold are making him hard to search a place to eat with cheap prices. Baekhyun keeps walking until he stumbles upon a vendor. The vendor is selling toys for kids of all ages. There are Barbie dolls , remote control cars, toy drones and cooking toys set. However, a musical mobile plush canopy toys with the hanging four characters of bear, bunny, car, plane, stars and a piece of cloud catches his attention. the mobile toy comes along with a baby crib bed bell toy holder arm and bracket.

"ahjussi , can your lower the price?" Baekhyun softly asks. He is attracted to the mobile toy.

"miss, I give you the best price already. As a bonus, I also give you the baby crib bad bell toy holder arm and bracket for free," the vendor convinces. As Baekhyun busy bargaining for the toy's price, he does not notice Chanyeol's presence not far from his place.

Kang Daniel, the CFO of the Park Corporation, forces Chanyeol to eat lunch together. he is Chanyeol's younger cousin and they are close since childhood. They look up to each other as a real sibling. that is why he has the privilege to threat the CEO without any fear of getting fired. Chanyeol, Daniel and Jihyo are walking in a group along the pavement, heading to the restaurant near his company. while Daniel and Jihyo are happily chatting with each other, Chanyeol trails behind the couple silently. the blaring sound of hustle and bustle of the road is more interesting for Chanyeol to listen compared to the couple's unnecessary chat. As he looking at the various types of building and skyscrapers along his way to the restaurant, he catches a sight of familiar person a few meters ahead of him.

"betty!" his inner voices out as the sight comes clearer in his vision. "you two just go to the restaurant first. I have something to deal," Chanyeol casually says to the couple and strides passing them. the couple shrug their shoulders in sync.

The vendor accepts Baekhyun's bargain and Baekhyun pays the toy with cheaper price. As Baekhyun checking his purchased toy in the plastic bag with a smile tugs on his face, Chanyeol clears his throat to attract Baekhyun's attention. Baekhyun can recognizes Chanyeol's husky voice anywhere, he instantly lifts his head from the toy.

"Ma-Master Pa-Park. you are here," Baekhyun stammers.

"it's lunch time and my company is around here," Chanyeol replies. "you should not be here, Betty. Who is taking care of my son?" Chanyeol wonders.

"I come here with Grandma Park. she is having lunch in a restaurant," Baekhyun answers nervously, afraid of Chanyeol for not being in the mansion to look for his son. When Baekhyun mentions 'Grandma Park', Chanyeol understands why there are so many paper bags and boxes on the ground around Baekhyun's feet. Chanyeol mumble a soft 'oh' at the nanny's statement.at first, Chanyeol was weird with all of the shopping items around Betty's feet. since when Betty had a lot of money to buy many branded products?

"can you drive?" Chanyeol inquires unexpectedly and he himself widens his eyes because of his question.

Absolutely, same like , Baekhyun widens his eyes too but he shakes his head to get his sense back after a few moment of silence. "sure, Master Park," Baekhyun answers.

"good!" Chanyeol replies. He contacts someone through his phone and later, a short man is dashing towards Baekhyun's and Chanyeol's direction.

"yes, Mr Park. can I do you a favour?" the man speaks with formality and respect to the company owner.

"of course, Mr Kim. Can you bring all of these shopping bags into my car?" Chanyeol requests.

Mr Kim's jaw slacks open because of Chanyeol's absurb request. "are you kidding me, Park? you are asking me, the Chief Marketing Officer of your company to carry your girlfriend's shopping bags?" Mr Kim exasperates.

"she is not my girlfriend," Chanyeol declares sternly.

"the point is,I didn't have my breakfast today. I was heading to the cafeteria to get my lunch when you dialled me just for this!" Mr Kim infuriates.

"you can grab your meal after helping me, Junmyeon hyung. Help me this time and I will award you with an exclusive second honeymoon package for you and your spouse," Chanyeol offers while wriggling his eyebrows to tease Junmyeon.

"I hate the fact that you are Yixing's cousin. Fine, I'll do it for you. you owe me this time," Junmyeon groans and Chanyeol chuckles. Chanyeol grips Baekhyun's wrist and drags him away from the place.

"send my regards to Yixing hyung," Chanyeol shouts as walks passing Junmyeon.

" you, Park Chanyeol!" Junmyeon yells as a return. Surely, Chanyeol hears the profanity thrown by his hyung but he loves to tease the older.

After five minutes, Chanyeol and Baekhyun reaches a high-class restaurant, the restaurant Baekhyun went earlier with Grandma Park. baekhyun does not budge from his place, refusing to walk in when Chanyeol pulls him.

"do you want me to carry you?" Chanyeol sneers. The threat is scary to Baekhyun so he braves himself to go along with Chanyeol. They head to the secluded area of this restaurant, which is specially designed for VIP and VVIP customers for privacy. As expected, Chanyeol sees Grandma Park in this area. She is talking gleefully with Daniel and Jihyo. Chanyeol followed by Baekhyun approach the table.

"Hi grandma," Chanyeol greest her. Grandma Park twists her head to see her beloved grandchild, Chanyeol is standing next to her.

"oh Chanyeollie. Join us for lunch," Grandma Park invites. Daniel and Jihyo nod in unison. "they are serving new foods in the menu, you should try." Grandma Park convinces.

"you can have lunch with them, grandma. Actually, I meet you because I need Betty to be my driver now," Chanyeol speaks straightforwardly,

"where is your driver, Chayeollie?" Grandma Park knows Chanyeo still trauma to drive his own car. The last time he drove car on his own, he ended up with a car accident. Although Chanyeol's legs have recovered gradually and able to walk like a normal person, he cannot escape from the trauma. As result, Chanyeol hires a driver to bring him anywhere.

"uncle song has emergency, his wife is giving birth so I let him to see her," Chanyeol explains to his grandma Park the reason he needs Betty as his driver.

"but, I don't trust her, Chanyeollie. She nearly killed Hyuk. now, you want her to drive your car? A good situation for her to plot your death," Grandma Park protests. She even accuses Baekhyun being a murderer.

"grandma, I've told you. It was purely an accident, unplanned. Betty never has any intentions to kill my son," Chanyeol assures his hard headed grandma.

"no." Grandma Park proclaims.

"Grandma Park, Chanyeol Hyung never likes Italian foods. Maybe, he wants to eat something else, that's why he needs the lady beside him to be his driver. You should approve Chanyeol Hyung's request," Daniel advises Grandma Park. grandma Park treat Daniel like her own grandchild so Daniel can talk freely to her.

"fine. Just do whatever you want. I've warned you," Grandma Park sulks.

"good!" Chanyeol and Daniel exclaims at the same time, catching other VIP's and VVIP's attention.

"thank you, grandma," Chanyeol says and lands a peck on his grandma Park's cheek. Chanyeol really loves his one and only grandma.

"go and spend time with your girlfriend , Hyung. We are waiting for any good news," Daniel teases, blinking his eye to annoy Chanyeol. Grandma Park pinches Daniel's waist.

"she don't deserve to have a romantic relationship with my grandson," Grandma Park hisses.

"don't worry, Grandma. Betty is not more than an employee to me. she would never be my partner," Chanyeol announces smugly. Daniel and jihyo roll their eyes, not believing him. Chanyeol misses the way Baekhyun tries to hide his tears from falling down when Chanyeol says that painful sentence.

"it's not like I want be your partner either, Park Chanyeol!" Baekhyun's inner screams.

Then, Chanyeol and Baekhyun moves to the basement car park. they hop into Chanyeol's Maserati car, Baekhyun on the driver seat while Chanyeol on the backseats. To be honest, Baekhyun is feeling ecstatic to drive the luxury.he manages to compose himself from shouting 'I drive Maserati car out of happiness.

"where do you want to go, Master Park?"Baekhyun asks after starting the engine.

"pierre gagnaire seoul restaurant. Do you know its address?"

"yes, I know."

"great. Bring me there,"

Baekhyun drives the car in silent while Chanyeol observes him from behind. A lot of things about the new nanny are lingering inside Chanyeol's brain. Chanyeol is too deep in his world until Baekhyun has to raise his volume to awake him.

"master Park!" Baekhyun shouts, startling Chanyeol from his trance.

"huh? Oh yes, we arrive here already. You don't have to raise your voice, I'm not deaf yet." Chanyeol glares at the nanny.

"I'm sorry but you look cute when startling," Baekhyun accidently and unexpectedly slips the sentence from his mouth. Both Chanyeol and Baekhyun lock gaze after the statement. "what the hell, Byun Baekhyun???" Baekhyun scolds himself.

Chanyeol clears his throat to dismiss the awkward tension between them. definitely, Chanyeol is flattered with the nanny's praise but he is able to stay cool and composed. Chanyeol is used to compliments since he was a kid because of his handsome face and tall body. Everyone around him admires him. but why his heart is pounding hardly with the nanny's words? Whereas the nanny's praise is the common thing he has heard throughout his life. Acting like nothing ever happened between the two, Chanyeol opens the backseats door and hops out of the car. He waits for Baekhyun to do the same but after few seconds, Baekhyun does not show any sign to hop out of the car.

Chanyeol knocks the tinted glass window of the driver side. Baekhyun presses the button to let the car window slides down. "yes,Master Park?"

"hop off my car." Chanyeol instructs indifferently.

"eh? Why Master Park? I promise I won't do anything to your car while you are away,"baekhyun guarantees.

"do you expect me to eat alone? You have to join me for lunch today," Chanyeol demands.

"what ? I can't, master Park," Baekhyun refuses while looking at the fancy building. Someone poor and low class like him would never afford to eat in such lavish place.

Chanyeol seems to know what is disturbing betty. "don't worry. I'll treat you," chanyeol offers.

"never mind, Master Park. I'm not hungry yet," Baekhyun declines his employer's offer. But, the sound of his rumbling stomach is too loud that both he and Chanyeol can hear it.

"yeah, not hungry my !" Chanyeol snickers. "come with me. this is an order," Chanyeol insists.

Later, Baekhyun and Chanyeol get a private and cozy room facing Namsan Tower. Pierre Gagnaire a Seoul is the most expensive restaurant in Seoul. the decoration of the restaurant is European with tradition beauty and top class of everything. There are two rooms connected by glossy black floors and gold leaf ceilings with murano glass chandeliers and a DJ for ambience. The view from this restaurant is stunning as it is located at one of the highest floors of the Lotte Hotel. They enjoy the view of Bukhan mountain and Kyungbok palace.

"can I take your order?" the staff asks. Chanyeol settles on L'Esprit de Pierre Gagnaire menus, for him and Betty. Baekhyun does not understand with the foods written in the menu. So, he lets Chanyeol to decide his meal on behalf of him. when the staff leaves them at the table, Chanyeol starts the conversation with Baekhyun.

"spill it," Chanyeol huffs.

"spill what?"

"who are you? what is your intention working under me? I hired a private detective to get your information but he got nothing about you. what are you hiding from me?" chanyeol requires after these months Baekhyun works as nanny.

"please, Master Park. thow away your suspicion on me. I've told you already, I don't have any intention to harm you or your family," Baekhyun begs. "everyone works to earn money, Master Park. I am suitable working as a nanny and the pay is worth," Baekhyun answers confidently.

"money, huh?" chanyeol smirks. He takes the cheque from his pocket and hands it to Baekhyun. "is it enough to make you admit your real plans? Or should I increase the amount?"

Baekhyun is offended with Chanyeol's words and actions. What does Chanyeol take him for? A gold digger? A materialistic person? Baekhyun abruptly arises from his seat and splashes a glass of water onto Chanyeol's face to express his anger.

"do you think I am that low, Master Park? I realize that I'm poor and low-class people but I'm not desperate for your money. Not all people are going after money. Some of them are really genuine and honest with what they do," Baekhyun reprimands. "thanks for the invitation but I'll get going now. I think you are able to devour the pricey French cuisine you have ordered," Baekhyun puffs and hurriedly steps out from the room.

"betty! Betty! Betty! Hey ,Betty!" chanyeol calls her as scampering towards Baekhyun. he capables to grab Baekhyun's arm due to his long strides. "where are you going?"

"I want to meet this restaurant manager," baekhyun utters indifferently.

"why do you want to meet him? if you want to complain about the foods, you haven't eat-" Chanyeol is confused but Baekhyun is fast to stop him from keep blabbering.

"I want to wash the dishes or even clean up the restaurant as a compensation for not paying my lunch bill today," Baekhyun tells Chanyeol.

"I treat your lunch today. don't you remember what I said to you before?"

"oh and allow you to insult me again for taking advantage of your wealth? I don't think so. Just keep your money in your bank account," Baekhyun mocks.

Chanyeol quickly pays the bills to the staff since they have ordered the foods already although they do not eat them yet. then, Chanyeol takes Baekhyun with him to his car. Inside the car, Chanyeol deems they are in better condition to have a talk together.

"I'm sorry," Chanyeol says and Baekhyun is surprised to receive an apology from Chanyeol. "I don't expect that you will get offended."

Baekhyun does not speak one word. "is it okay if I send you to your company first? then I will go to the mansion by bus." The sentences come out like a request rather than a question.

"drive me to MC Donald. I'm still hungry," Chanyeol commands and Baekhyun obeys it half-heartedly.

They purchase their foods in drive-through and decides to eat inside the car at the MC Donald car park. baekhyun chooses large size chicken porridge along with large size fries. Meanwhile, Chanyeol prefers Big Mac and chicken nuggets. Chanyeol forced Baekhyun to let him pay for their meals and Baekhyun complied.

"I'm sorry for splashing the water onto you," Baekhyun says while looking at his foods. He has no courage to face his employer after what he had done.

"it's okay. I was a jerk that time and I deserved it," Chanyeol comforts Baekhyun. he lifts Baekhyun's chin and twists Baekhyun's head to look at him face to face. Then, he offers his smile to Baekhyun. red hues forms all over Baekhyun's face.

"you were right." Baekhyun averts his gaze from Chanyeol.

"about what?" Chanyeol is confused with the brief statement.

"I have a child. He is still a baby, the cutest one." Baekhyun grins. Chanyeol is stunned at how beautiful Betty look when she beams. "but, I would never meet him anymore. My stepmother put him for adoption and I know nothing about my son's adopted parents until now." Baekhyun sighs.

"do your husband know about this?" Chanyeol wonders.

Baekhyun feels a lump is forming in his throat, making him harder to answer the simple question. chanyeol has no clue about the existence of their child and Baekhyun does not have any plan to tell him anyway.

"where is he? He let your child to be taken by strangers!" Chanyeol groans, blaming Baekhyun's husband. does Chanyeol know that he is blaming himself? Betty's husband that he has been asking is Park Chanyeol.

'where is he?' is Chanyeol's question. Baekhyun really wants to answer Chanyeol's question with ' he is with me now, inside this car' but his mind resists him from doing so. "my ex-husband is living happily with his fiancé. He chose his loved one over me," baekhyun replies sorrowfully. Chanyeol mutters 'ouh' as a respond and racks his mind to change topic. Baekhyun is upset with his past and becomes more distress when he has to remind of it again.

"who is taking care of my son?" Chanyeol intentionally asks so that Baekhyun can forget about his past.

"I pumped my milk into Young Master's feeding bottle. When he awakes, Mrs Lee will feed him with the bottle. If young Master keeps crying. she will call Grandma Park so that we can return to the mansion as soon as possible. But we receive no call from her since morning, I guess Young Master is under good hands," Baekhyun informs.

Then, they eat silently. after that, Baekhyun drives them to the mansion because Chanyeol requests to go home early. He is the company owner so he can walk in and out of the company anytime.

The next day is Sunday. Chanyeol stays at home. Usually, Chanyeol will go to Golf club or meet with his friends during weekend. Today, he feels like to spend time with his son. He is busy with his work all this time and he needs to repay the time he had lost with his child. It is eight in the morning and Chanyeol cannot find his son anywhere, not in the nursery room and not in the mansion. Chanyeol heads to Baekhyun's room, perhaps Baekhyun is taking Hyuk with him to the room. in the midst of his walk, he hears a commotion from the backyard. Chanyeol runs towards the backyard garden to see Grandma Park is yelling at Baekhyun.

"grandma, it is too early in the morning to raise your voice," Chanyeol is soothing his grandmother by rubbing her back.

"how can I not get mad at her?!" Grandma Park infuriates while pointing at Baekhyun who is holding Hyuk. hyuk is , with only a diaper cover his bottom. "she basks my great grandchildren under the sunlight. She wants him to be dark and not handsome anymore!" Grandma Park whines.

"grandma, dark people are handsome and pretty, okay. what's wrong if my son becomes dark?" Chanyeol hoaxes and strides towards Baekhyun. he takes his son from Baekhyun.

"what is your plan for my son?" Chanyeol inquires.

" I-I read an article about the benefits of sunlight for babies. So, I want Young Master to bask in sunlight. Getting more vitamin D is one of the biggest benefits when Hyuk is exposed to sunlight. His immune system will work efficiently as well. Exposure to sunlight will help to achieve healthy nervous system and improves blood clotting, " Baekhyun elaborates and Chanyeol just nods. Instead of scolding Baekhyun like his grandma did, Chanyeol slips off his t-shirt and gives it to Baekhyun. he lays on the mat with his son laying on his torso.

"daddy wants to get more healthy too," Chanyeol says playfully with his son. Hyuk just smile looking at his daddy. "for how long we need to be exposed to sunlight?"

"the baby should be exposed to sunlight for 10 until 15 minutes between 7 to 9 am to draw maximum benefits." Baekhyun memorizes the important things that he read from the article. "I've massaged Young Master lightly with baby oil to give him additional protection against skin problems."

"you are lying to us about the article, right? don't influence my grandson to do such thing! Chanyeol, bring your son inside!" Grandma Park commands but Chanyeol ignores her. "fine if you remain stubborn! I would not responsible when Hyuk has tan skin like your cousin, Jongin!" Grandma Park warns.

Chanyeol chuckles. "it's good then. The tan and y Jongin has many girlfriends and boyfriends around him. do you want to be like your uncle jongin?" Chanyeol asks jokingly to his son.

Grandma Park is pissed with her grandson. she furiously stomps her feet into the mansion. meanwhile, Chanyeol is using this opportunity to connect with his son. He caresses Hyuk to create a feeling of security and warmth, and promotes good health. He speaks to Hyuk the entire time. Baekhyun sits beside the duo, admiring the heart warming scene before his eyes.

Grandma Park is having brunch with her circles in a fancy café. She enjoys the time she spends with her old friends until Choi ji won arrives and joins them. one of Grandma Park's friends offers Choi ji won an empty seat. Of course Choi ji won accepts it gladfully.

"what is she doing here? who invite her?" Grandma hisses to her friend next to her.

"she is in the whatsapp group. She knows about our meeting through it," her friend informs her.

"what topic are we discussing?" Choi Ji Won speaks as soon as she had done ordering her brunch set, blueberry buttermilk pancakes and a cup of mocha.

"we haven't discussing much yet. we just talk about how handsome and successful Hwa Yeon's grandchild now. he achieves a lot after the accident," one of them replies.

"Hwa Yeon's grandchild? Do you mean Park Chanyeol?" Choi Ji Won wonders.

"of course him, Choi Ji won. I only have one grandchild," Hwa Yeon or Grandma Park interrupts.

"oh, that boy. Yes, he's perfect. Irene admires him too," Cho ji won says. "unfortunately, he is a dumb when it comes to choose a life partner. So pathetic," she snickers.

"take those back!" Grandma Park barks.

"what? I'm saying the right thing," she defends herself. She brings out a magazine from her handbag and throw it onto the table for everyone to see. It is Playboy Magazine. "guess, who is the cover page this month?"

They eagerly look at the cover page and cringe at that. There is a man in who is doing a controversy pose. Grandma Park hopes God will allow her to die that time.

"if I'm not mistaken, he is Kyungsoo right? park chanyeol's spouse. I never expect that he will allow his husband to do such thing. in public?" Choi ji won snickers. "park chanyeol is a successful businessman but he failed his duty as a husband. that Park kid does not know how to control his spouse and tell him to behave in public. Perhaps, he is afraid of his spouse so he mums about his spouse's activity," Choi Ji won insinuates.

grandma park faints when some of friends laugh at Choi Ji Won's insinuation.

When Grandma Park awake, she is in a hospital, accompanied by her friend. She thanks her friend for bringing her here. then, her friend goes home because her husband is looking for her while Grandma Park proceeds to settle the administration fee. Later, she calls her driver to fetch her at the hospital. She tells him to bring her to Chanyeol's company.

Grandma Park reaches the company faster than usual. Well, she forced her driver to drive faster and shouted at his ear when he slowed down the car. She barges into Chanyeol's office without telling the receptionist or Chanyeol's secretary, Jihyo.

"grandma? I don't expect you to come." Chanyeol is dumbfounded with his grandma's abrupt presence. Chanyeol puts aside all the reports he had been checking just now.

Grandma Park slams the Playboy Magazine on Chanyeol's table. Chanyeol quickly grab it. his face burning in red, seething in anger when sees who is the cover page of the magazine.

"your fiancé has crossed the line!" Grandma Park infuriates. "he embarrasses us! He put our company, dignity in shame! Do you really want to take him to be your husband? to be your life partner and mother to Hyuk?"

"grandma, I just know about this too. I'll talk to him," Chanyeol consoles his grandma.

"yeah, talk to him. as if he would listen to you," Grandma Park snickers. "you have been lenient to him all this time. serves your right! starting from now, you should strict and hard on him!"

"grandma, he is sensitive. I can't simply order him around," Chanyeol reasons with her.

"you never listen to me, Park Chanyeol. I'm tired talking to you," Grandma Park hisses and walks out of Chanyeol's office.

Chanyeol leans to his chair, pinching the bridge of his nose out of frustration. "kyungsoo, Kyungsoo....when will you stop giving me headache?" Chanyeol sighs. He is not interested anymore to proceed with his suspended work.

For the past four days, Hyuk had been not feeling well. On the first day, Hyuk was seemed to have difficulty with feeding. He had less than half their normal feeds.

baekhyun hastily put new and clean clothes on Hyuk's body and carries him to Grandma Park's room. he knocks the door few times but receive no reply from her. baekhyun directly goes to the front garden because Grandma Park loves gardening. Perhaps she is there. However, there is no one at the front yard except a gardener and Grandma Park's driver who are talking to each other.

"uncle Song!" Baekhyun run towards him. "help me!" he pants.

"relax, Betty. What can I do for you?" Uncle Song is bewildered with Baekhyun's weary expression.

"young master....young master is sick! he his breathing too fast!" Baekhyun answers with teary eyes. Uncle Song is shocked seeing his employer's son condition.

"does Madam Park know about this?"

"no. I knocked her room's door but she didn't open it. maybe she is not in her room and I don't know where is her,"

"hop into the car! I will send you to the hospital!" both Uncle Song and Baekhyun enter the car and head to the nearest hospital.

Hyuk is admitted to the hospital for treatment to lower levels of bilirubin in the bloodstream. After the doctor takes Hyuk from Baekhyun and handles him, Baekhyun dials Chanyeol. He tells Chanyeol that he is in the hospital and the staff demands the infant's parents to pay for the administration. Baekhyun catches Chanyeol's loud snort before he ends up the call. Later, Chanyeol arrives at the said hospital. He directly settle for the administration. Then, he finds Baekhyun at the neonatal department. Chanyeol spots a frizzy hair girl wearing a maid outfit sitting on the lounger in front of the nursery room. he grips Baekhyun's shoulders and forces him to stand.

"where is my son," Chanyeol seethes, gritting his teeth.

"he-he is ha-having phototherapy treat-traetment in the NICU. Do-Doctor and nu-nurse is mo-mo-monitoring hi-m," Baekhyun stutters because Chanyeol looks at him menacingly. Chanyeol pushes Baekhyun out of anger. Baekhyun's back hits the wall before his butts land on the lounger harshly.

"ouch!" he whines.

Chanyeol grabs Baekhyun's collar and brings their faces closer. "I pay you to take care of my son! Look at what you have done? My son is admitted to the hospital because of you!" Chanyeol shouts at Baekhyun, blaming Baekhyun in public. There are few people at the department, watching them intently. A nurse approaches Chanyeol and releases Chanyeol's grip from Baekhyun.

"Mr Park, I hope you can settle down. This is hospital and we can't tolerate ruckus to occur here," the nurse warns.

Then, a doctor exits the nursery room and comes near Chanyeol. "are you Park Hyuk's parents?" the doctor asks Chanyeol and Baekhyun.

"I am his father!" Chanyeol replies instantly. "how is my son's condition?" Chanyeol demands.

"your son is having severe jaundice. We put him in the phototherapy device, a treatment by light rays,"

"for how long my baby needs to undergo the treatment?"

"in some cases, phototherapy will only be needed for 24 hours or less. In some cases, it may be required for 5 to 7 days. In general, serum bilirubin levels should show a significant decrease before the lights are turned off," the doctor explains although chanyeol and Baekhyun cannot fully comprehend the term the doctor is using. Serum bilirubin levels? What is it?

"can I visit him, doctor?" Baekhyun voices out his desire ever since Hyuk is isolated in the room. he is yearning to touch Hyuk and holds him.

"what do you want to do? you want to harm my son?" Chanyeol retorts.

"pardon me, Mr Park. what is her relation to the patient? is she the infant's mother?" the doctor inquires, referring to Baekhyun.

"my name is Betty and I am Young Master's nanny," Baekhyun answers. The doctor cringes at how Baekhyun is addressing the baby. Young Master? The man in front the doctor must be powerful until the nanny cannot call the infant by its name. Baekhyun is fidgeting in his place, feeling afraid if Chanyeol forbids him from staying closer to Hyuk.

"do you feed him?" the doctor asks again.

"yes-yes. I do," baekhyun stammers because he suddenly feels shy telling the doctor.

"phototherapy will be usually stopped for 30 minutes every 3 to 4 hours so you can feed patient , change his nappy and give him a cuddle," the doctor informs and Baekhyun is delighted when he is still able to do his routine with Hyuk. "do you two have any questions?"

Both Chanyeol and Baekhyun shakes their heads in unison.

"so, I'll take my leave now," the doctor bows and enters the nursery room again.

Chanyeol glances at Baekhyun before heading to the lift. He halts in the middle of his track when Baekhyun does not budge from his place. "what are you doing there? Come here! I send you to the mansion," Cahnyeol huffs.

"what? No, thanks. I want to stay here. Young Master tend to get hungry when he awakes," Baekhyun excuses.

Chnayeol sigh, Baekhyun is quite stubborn. He inches closer to Baekhyun and stares at him. "don't get flatter. I send you to my mansion to take Hyuk's belongings such as diapers, powder, lotion, oil and feeding bottle. You should bring his toy so he can play with it when he cuddles with you," Chanyeol justifies.

"don't forget to bring pump as well," Chanyeol says frontally.

"what? Why?" Baekhyun yelps while covering his chest. Chanyeol is requesting for weird things.

"you won't stay here at night. I will take care of my son after I've done my work at the office. You can go back to the mansion. I will ask Uncle Song to pick you," Chanyeol explains. "before you go home, I want you to pump your milk into the feeding bottle. Hyuk only wants your milk."

Baekhyun nods and he follows Chanyeol's steps to the lift. They wait at the lobby for a few minutes for Chanyeol's driver to arrive. Then, they hop into the backseat of the car. Baekhyun is nervous itting beside Chanyeol right now. Baekhyun keeps a safe distance between him and Chanyeol by scooting closer to the door. Chanyeol realizes Baekhyun's action but he gives no comment. He knows the nanny is uncomfortable with him especially after he had scolded the nanny in the hospital before. When they arrive at the mansion, Grandma Park is walking back and forth at the front yard. Baekhyun prays that Grandma Park will not attack him for using her car and her driver without her permission. Chanyeol is the first person to hop off the car. Baekhyun feels safe hiding from Grandma Park by staying quietly inside the car.

"Chanyeollie, you come home!" Grandma Park greets and embraces him. Although she is mad at Chanyeol for defending Kyungsoo, Chanyeol is still her one and only grandson. It has been four days after Grandma Park stormed into Chanyeol's office and told Chanyeol about Kyungsoo's involvement with Playboy Magazine. That night, Chanyeol didn't come home. He preferred to sleep in his office with an excuse "I have a big project with the Japanese clients and he needs to focus." He rejected Grandma Park's call and didn't reply her message. Grandma Park knew that Chanyeol was sulking with her. how childish.

"Only for a while. I need to go back to the company. have you eaten, grandma?" after ignoring this old woman for four days, Chanyeol suddenly feels the guilt building inside his body. Actually, he is not angry with his grandma. He knows his grandma worries about him and she wants the best for him and Hyuk. the person that Chanyeol is angry with is Kyungsoo.

After grandma Park informed him about Kyungsoo being the head cover for Playboy Magazine, Chanyeol went to Kyungsoo's modelling company. but the staffs there told him that Kyungsoo had flew to New York for New York Fashion Week.

"he becomes the model for this Fashion Week. He departed this morning. He will return to Korea next week," the staff informed him.

Chanyeol is Kyungsoo's fiancé but he knows nothing about Kyungsoo has modelling job in New York. The latter does not tell him. ! Chanyeol feels useless as a fiancé.

"what are you doing at the outside, grandma? Didn't I tell you to rest in the mansion?" Chanyeol concerns with his grandma's deteriorate health.

"chanyeollie, how many times grandma had told you. I'm okay. I feel bored sitting alone at the mansion," Grandma Park responds. "actually, I am searching the nanny. Do you know where is her?"

Chanyeol glances at the person in the car. Although the window is tinted, the person behind it is able to see his hard stare. Baekhyun notices the stare, he quickly makes body language because Chanyeol cannot hear his voice. Baekhyun clasps both his hands, pleading in mute while shaking his head, all the gestures bring one meaning, ' please, don't tell Grandma Park that I'm not here.' baekhyun must be forgotten that the window is tinted, Chanyeol incapables to see Baekhyun's body language. Chanyeol takes too long staring at the window, Grandma Park's curiosity grows impatient.

"what is you looking at, Chanyeollie?" Grandma Park quirks her eyebrow in bewilderment.

"no-nothing!" Chanyeol stammers and Grandma Park does not buy it. she opens the door and smirks upon seeing her target. "this is where you have been hiding all this time?" she sneers. Grandma Park pinches Baekhyun's ear and drags her out from the vehicle. Baekhyun's head accidently bumps with the car's roof when she forces him to get out.

"grandma? Let her go," Chanyeol tries to detach his grandma from Baekhyun. "why are you attacking betty?" Chanyeol hugs her from behind.

"she used grandma's car and driver without my permission. How dare you, ! You are just a scum in this house but you already act like a big boss. Just because my grandson is favouring you in this mansion, it does not mean you can do anything you want!" Grandma Park is outraged at Baekhyun who is keeping his head low, not daring to look at her.

"grandma, betty is innocent," Chanyeol sticks up for Baekhyun. "she sent Hyuk to the hospital. Your car and Uncle Song were the only option."

"hyuk is admitted to the hospital? Why?"

"he has jaundice,"

"still, she should ask for my permission," Grandma Park argues.

"I did, Grandma Park. but you weren't in your room," Baekhyun speaks

"just forgive her for this time, okay? I need to bring Betty to the hospital. She will take care of him,"

"can I visit my great grandchild?"

"I'm sorry. I can't allow anyone to stay close to him except the doctors, nurses, Betty and I. I will bring him to this mansion when he recovers,"

After sending Baekhyun to the hospital, he directly heads to his company. he wants to accompany his son but he needs to prioritize his work. The meeting with the Japanese clients will be held tomorrow so he should not wasting his time to prepare.

Hyuk is allowed to rest from phototherapy session for 30 minutes. Baekhyun uses the time wisely. He changes Hyuk's diaper and feeds him. he cuddles Hyuk while singing Hyuk's favourite song, Little Star .Cho loves that song too. Baekhyun even makes funny faces to make Hyuk smiles. After the break time ends, Hyuk will be put into the light rays device back. Baekhyun has to wait for another 3 or 4 hours.

It is 11 pm and Baekhyun is still sitting at the waiting room. Baekhyun should be sleeping on his bed right now instead of waiting someone to appear. Baekhyun cannot leave hyuk until Chanyeol turns up.

"chanyeol will come, isn't he?" Baekhyun asks himself. After waiting for a long time, Baekhyun dozes off in the seat.

At 2 am, Chanyeo arrives at the hospital. He rushes to the nursery room to see his son in the nursery room through the glass wall. Hyuk is having phototherapy. He lies on a special light-therapy blanket and has lights attached to his incubators. Chanyeol walks aimlessly, his feet bring him to the waiting area. He notices Baekhyun there.

"she hasn't go back to the mansion yet?" Chanyeol ponders.

Chanyeol sits beside him and plays game in his phone. he is engrossed playing pubG when Baekhyun's head suddenly lands on Chanyeol's shoulder. Chanyeol pushes Baekhyun's head and concentrates on his game. However, Baekhyun's head falls on his shoulder again, Baekhyun even his face against Chanyeol's shoulder.

"Yah!!!!" chanyeol is disturbed with Bekhyun's action, waggling his shoulder to pry Baekhyun's head away. Baekhyun does not budge even an inch. In fact, he scoots closer to Chanyeol, sticking his petite body to Chanyeol's muscular one.

Dug dug dug dug

Chanyeol's heart is thumping loudly inside his chest. The pubG game is no longer catching his attention. in fact, the way Baekhyun's body leans on his is more interest for him to watch. He mindlessly caressing Baekhyun's smooth cheek with his rough hand. He admits that the 'lady' beside him is pretty. Chanyeol deems that Baekhyun's sleeping position will be leading him into having backache. Chanyeol lays Baekhyun's upper limb on the seats gently. he removes Baekhyun's pumps and places Baekhyun's legs on the seats as well so that his legs would not crammed. Then he sits back, putting Baekhyun's head onto his lap. He Baekhyun's frizzy wig while admiring his beauty. betty is a good mother figure to Hyuk. It is not impossible for chanyeol to be attracted by Baekhyun.

"no, Chanyeol! You have Kyungsoo!" Chanyeol's inner screams but he cannot deny the adrenaline rush inside his body when he sees Betty. Chanyeol falls into slumber with his hand keep touching Baekhyun's wig.

At 5 in the morning, Baekhyun awakes. Baekhyun blinks his eyes open, Chanyeol's sleeping face comes in his view. Baekhyun unconsciously smile at the handsome features before something clicks in his mind. Instantly, Baekhyun arises from his laying position. "was I sleep on Chanyeol's lap last night?" Baekhyun questions himself because he clearly remember that he dozed off in a sitting position while waiting for Chanyeol last night. "master Park, wake up," Baekhyun taps Chanyeol's arm, waking him up gently. after few pats, Chanyeol startles awake from his deep slumber.

"what? Is my son crying after me?" Chanyeol directly asks Baekhyun. Baekhyun shakes his head and Chanyeol relieves, leaning his back to the chair. He yawns sleepily as he is still tired from his work last night.

He promised to come at the hospital at eight o'clock but there were many things he needed to handle in his office. As a result, he settled all of his works at 1.15 am.

"sorry for awaking you, Master Park. I think you should head home and have rest. You look lethargic. You still have time to sleep in the mansion before working hour starts. Trust me, I can take care of Young Master," Baekhyun persuades. Since he gets no respond from Chanyeol, baekhyun takes his bag under the lounger and stands up. he head to the nearest toilet.

"where are you going?" Chanyeol croaks out.

"I want to take a shower," Baekhyun spins his body to look at drowsy Chanyeol.

"she already brought her belonging here," Chanyeol mumbles, watching a bag that Baekhyun is holding. There are trousers, underwear, toiletry product and t shirts in the bag for Baekhyun's stay in the hospital.

"you want to stay in the hospital?" Chanayeol inquires. Baekhyun nods, biting his lips nervously. "fine," is all Baekhyun hears from Chanyeol.

Luckily, there is a ward available during that day. A VIP Ward Room to be exact! Baekhyun feels like he is staying in a 5 star hotel instead of hospital. Suddenly, Baekhyun becomes anxious stepping into the ward room. he has trauma with luxury ward room since he has bad memories with such room. trauma of not being able to pay the hospital bill.

"master Park, this room is so lavish for me to stay. I'm okay if I need to stay in 4-bedded room," Baekhyun begs.

"you'll be comfortable staying here. there are television, radio and personal toilet. You don't have to share these facilities with other people. Other than that, here is quieter and offers calmer environment," Chanyeol encourages.

"I'm just a nanny, Master Park and I don't deserve all of this. In addition, I can't afford this exorbitant ward room," Baekhyun voices out his worry.

Chanyeol laughs, wiping his non-existent tears at the corner of his eyes. "of course you don't deserve this high-class room. you are just a nanny, your income is enough to bear your cost of living only ," Chanyeol snickers. "I'm doing this for my son. He'll be staying here with you. don't get too high of yourself," Chanyeol scoffs and leaves Baekhyun who is rooted in his place. Baekhyun cannot be mad at Chanyeol for hurting his feeling with those harsh words because Chanyeol said the truth. In fact, Baekhyun has lost hyuk in his life because of his poorness. If only he had more money to settle the hospital bills and Baekbeom's debts, Hyuk would not slip away from his hands. Later, Hyuk is transferred beside his bed. baekhyun can watch the baby for 24 hours!
