"thank you, sajangnim! For accepting Chanyeol-ssi to work here," Baekhyun bends his body, showing respect to his boss. But Chanyeol just stands firmly beside Baekhyun. He does not bother to say thank you or show respect to his new boss.

"Master Park! What are you doing?"Baekhyun inquires when he notices that Chanyeol is staring at his boss. "you need to show respect to sajangnim. Say thank you to him," Baekhyun push Chanyeol's back, forcing him to bend like him before but Chanyeol refuses.

"i don't have to respect anyone! People should respect me!" Chanyeol sulks.

"oh god! Not now," Baekhyun talks to own self. "does he realize that he is not a CEO anymore? His status is not like before!" Baekhyun does not voice out his internal thought. It may hurt Chanyeol's feeling.

Instead of getting offended with Chanyeol's antic, the cafe owner chuckles. "Park Chanyeol-ssi, if you want people to respect you, respect others first. Okay?" the cafe owner advises. "Chanyeol hyung has a lot to learn. I hope Baekhyun hyung can help him to adapt and work here."

"alrigh, sajangnim! You can count on me!" baekhyun cheers.

When Baekhyun and Chanyeol steps out from the cafe owner's office, Baekhyun shoots a death glare to him.

"yah, why were you behaving like that? You're lucky that Sehun-nim doesn't fire you! The first rule to work here is to respect people especially your boss!" Baekhyun nags.

"don't teach me what to do," Chanyeol hisses and goes down the stairs.

"Master Park, where are you leaving now?"

"why do you want to know? It's none of your business,"

"Master Park, I am your colleague now. You're my responsibility since you are a new worker. If I know your address, I can pick you up from your house when you have problem to come to the cafe," Baekhyun excuses. Baekhyun knows his reason is silly. He is really curious with Chanyeol's current life.

Chanyeol sighs. "I don't know. I stay in a motel now with my son and Kyungsoo. But I don't have money to pay for the motel fee tomorrow," Chanyeol confesses.

"you can live with me," Baekhyun offers.

"what? No!" Chanyeol refuses.

"Master Park, please! For hyuk's sake! It's not easy to find cheap apartment or flat to rent in Seoul. You just found a job and you will be getting paid at the end of the month. You are not thinking to sleep at the bus stop or park, right?"

Chanyeol remains silent. He wants to accept Baekhyun's offer but his pride will not let him to.

"Forget about your pride,master Park," Baekhyun reminds. "there are 2 rooms in my flat. My flatmate moved out a week ago. Actually, I'm also searching for a flatmate. We can share the rental fee, it's more saving! So, you can use your money more on Hyuk and Kyungsoo. It's great, right?" Baekhyun encourages Chanyeol to agree with him.

"okay, I accept your offer."

Initially,kyungsoo disapproves Chanyeol's decision to move into Baekhyun's flat. Firstly, baekhyun is Chanyeol's ex husband. Who on earth is willing to let your fiance to live under the same roof with his ex spouse? Secondly, Kyungsoo treated Baekhyun badly all this time. So, Kyungsoo feels embarrass to accept Baekhyun's help. Doesn't Baekhyun hold any grudge on him? Maybe, Baekhyun invites them to live in his flat because it is part of his plan? His plan to steal Chanyeol from Kyungsoo! Yeah, maybe!

"please, Soo...our condition is different now. Either we accept this offer or we sleep at a park tomorrow," Chanyeol persuades.

Kyungsoo is still angry with Chanyeol since the latter does not tell him why they need to leave the mansion. He is bored with Chanyeol's answer, "you'll know later." finally, he obeys Chanyeol's resolution. Living in baekhyun's flat. But, he will keep a hawk eye on him!

It has been a month since Chanyeol left the mansion. Life is not easy but he is doing the best. Chanyeol goes to the cafe with Baekhyun everyday except Sunday. The cafe operates from 10 am until 10.30 pm. Both Chanyeol and Baekhyun work as a full time worker. Since Chanyeol and Baekhyun comes together at their workplace by sharing the same scooter, their colleagues support them as a romantic couple. Chanyeol does not pleased with it because he has Kyungsoo as his fiance.

Chanyeol took times to adapt at the cafe. It was his first time working as a employee, not employer. He kept bossing his colleagues around and refuses to listen to Manager Im's instruction. Chanyeol treated customers badly and could not control hsi temper. Baekhyun was the person that would apologize on Chanyeol's behalf. Until one day, Baekhyun brainwashed him.

Bugh!

Baekhyun punched him. " Sehun-nim called me to his office just now. He said, because of your rude attitude, our cafe has lost many customers. It has been 3 weeks already and you can't adapt working here yet. What do you want actually? You should be grateful for not being jobless! Do your job properly! If you does not change your behaviour, be ready to steps out of Vivi Cafe," baekhyun warned. "you're not a CEO anymore but it doesn't mean your life has ended. You're working for Hyuk and your fiance, for your family! Be responsible!" Baekhyun added.

And now, Chanyeol is not being a total jerk. He follows Manager Im's instruction and treats the customers nicely. He forces a smile while interacting with the customers. Although it is a fake smile, many young ladies and aunties fall for him. It is understandable to see this cafe is full of female customers than male. He tends to do all the work on his own rather than calling his colleagues to do them for him. If he has trouble while doing his job, Baekhyun will help him. But, Chanyeol is still being an introvert and only speaks important matters with his colleagues. He does not socialize with his colleagues during free time. Only Baekhyun is closed to him.

It is Sunday. Chanyeol has to work at night as part time worker at a bar. Chanyeol just begins his job as a part time bartender at a bar. His shifts starts from 11 pm until 3 am. Since it is still morning, Chanyeol plans to sleep until noon but a loud bang at his door room prevents him from doing so.

"what do you want, baekhyun? It's 9 am in the morning. I need rest!" chanyeol complains once he opens the door.

"you need to accompany me to go to supermarket. The foods stocks are empty. There are a lot of things we need to buy. I can't carry them alone,"

"ask Kyungsoo to go with you,"

"But Kyungsoo told me to go with you before he went out for a jog," baekhyun mutters. Okay, this is strange! Usually, Kyungsoo will be jealous if Chanyeol and Baekhyun talk to whereas they are only greeting each other as a flatmate. Kyungsoo also bans any eye contact and physical contact between Chanyeol and Baekhyun.

On his first day of work, Baekhyun droves his scooter, with Chanyeol riding pillion. Kyungsoo went berserk when he saw Chanyeol and Baekhyun being so close on the scooter.

"Soo, we're going to work! Not dating!" Chanyeol consoled Kyungsoo but Kyungsoo brooded about it. As a result, the couple did not get along for the whole week.

And now, Bakehyun tells him that Kyungsoo allows them to go out together. TOGETHER? "fine!" Chanyeol groans before taking shower. After Chanyeol has done wearing his outfit, they are ready to go to the supermarket. They entrust hyuk to Lee Ahjumma who lives next to their flat. She is living alone, so she babysits young children to avoid loneliness.

"no taxi. We're going there by bus. It is cheaper," baekhyun instructs. Although Chanyeol hates to be in small and crowded space, it will be a waste if he spends much money riding a taxi to go to supermarket.

Chanyeol calls his fiance but the latter does not pick up his call. It always like that, Kyungsoo tends to ignore Chanyeol's call. At the supermarket, Baekhyun scolds Chanyeol because the man puts everything he likes into the trolley.

"Master Park! Has you ever buy groceries before?"Baekhyun inquires.

"nope. This is my first time. Usually, my maid will do it for me," Chanyeol answers honestly.

"Master park, do you remember that we need to grocery shop on our budget? Buy the necessary only, not stuffs we don't need. I've listed all of important items. Please stick on this list, understand?" baekhyun advises while removing all of the unimportant items from the trolley. Baekhyun cannot blame Chanyeol. He used to live a fancy life. But now, he has to live with financial problems. That is why baekhyun is so eager to teach Chanyeol and Kyungsoo on how to manage money wisely. Both Chanyeol and Kyungsoo are high class people who are forced to live in poverty.

"Master Park, put it back on the shelf. We'll buy it at the morning market. It is cheaper there. We need to know the prices in various places so that we can buy groceries at the best price!"

"Master park, take the cheapest brand. We don't need so high branded tissues."

"Master Park, the detergent is on sale! We need to take more!"

Chanyeol swears, baekhyun is the most noisy person in the world. Chanyeol hides his face in shame whenever Baekhyun scolds and admonishes him in front of the public. Finally, their shop have come to an end. They go home with Chanyeol carries most of the purchased items. They take hyuk from lee Ahjumma before Baekhyun unlocks the door.

"excuse me. Is this Do Kyungsoo's house?" someone with blue uniform is greeting baekhyun and Chanyeol before the two adults enter their flat.

"yes. I am his fiance,"

"we're from Smart Clean Laundry. We return kyungsoo's clothes since he ordered us to send them here. By the way, this is the bill," Chanyeol's jaw hangs open to see the amount.

"dry wash? Do you even realize the price of dry wash? It's expensive, Soo! Can't you just wash using your hand or washing machine? I can also wash them for you if you want,"

"Yeol, all of my clothes are high-branded and pricey! They need dry wash, do you get it?"

This is not first time Kyungsoo send his clothes to the laundry. He has sent his clothes for a dry wash for the past 2 weeks. And this week, he does the same.

"Soo, we promise to save money and to control our budget. Our condi-"

"shut up! Enough with your 'our condition have changed'. I can't live like this anymore!" kyungsoo storms. Kyungsoo packs his things up and slams the door shut. He scurries towards the roadside while calling someone.

"soo, where are you going with your suitcases?"

"i'm sorry,Park Chanyeol. I can't be with your anymore. Let's call off our engagement," Kyungsoo tells nonchalantly. He removes the ring from his finger and throws it at chanyeol.

Then, a lamborghini is halted beside Kyungsoo. The driver hops out of the car and wraps his arm around Kyungsoo's waist.

"long time no see, Cousin!" the person next to Kyungsoo is Kim kai. "how does it feel to be poor?" Kim Kai mocks. Kyungsoo caresses Kim Kai's clothed chest.

"shhhh! He is sensitive now. Don't ask him about his current state or he'll cry later! Hahahaha," Kyungsoo teases and both of them laugh insensitively. "Park Chanyeol. There is nothing between us starting from now on, okay?" kyungsoo states. "I'm only deserve to be with a filthy rich guy, not a poor man like you!" Kyungsoo shouts heartlessly before hopping into his boyfriend's car. Chanyeol picks up the ring Kyungsoo threw earlier. His heart shatters into pieces.

Chanyeol yells while throwing the engagement ring. His face is wet with tears. he can feel his broken heart. He scolds himself for being so weak! He never imagines for kyungsoo to do that to him. They were lovers since high school. They were married but then divorced. However, Chanyeol planned to remarry him this year. He trust Kyungsoo with all of his heart.

Baekhyun accompanies Chanyeol for the whole night. Chanyeol absents from his work tonight. He is not in a good condition to work. Baekhyun prepares a milk and chocolate chips biscuits for Chanyeol. When Baekhyun is sad or stress, combination of milk and chocolate chips biscuits are able to sooth his mind. He hopes this will work for Chanyeol too. He allows Chanyeol to land his head on his thigh.

"it's okay to cry. Crying is not a sign of weakness. It's a sign of having tried too hard to be strong for too long," Baekhyun advises while Chanyeol's lock.

"don't leave me," Chanyeol begs.

"i will never leave you, Master Park. You can hold my words," Baekhyun says determinedly.

Both of them fall into a deep slumber. Baekhyun sleeps in sitting position while Chanyeol is lying his head on Baekhyun's thigh. It is a long night for them.

The next day, Chanyeol acts normally. In fact, it is too normal for Baekhyun. He is no longer cry. He wakes up earlier than Baekhyun and cooks breakfast for them.

"thank you for last night." Chanyeol flashes a smile. The smile is not wide but it is a genuine one.

"Thanks Park Chanyeol, you're giving me heart attack by smiling like that," Baekhyun's inner self speaks. "no problem,Master Park," Baekhyun replies. "It just weird to see you-"

"Happy?"

Baekhyun nods.

"i try to be happy, baekhyun. For myself, for kyungsoo and for you. Kyungsoo is happy with his new life and I should find my own happinesss now," Chanyeol motivates himself and his lips unconsciously curves into a smile.

That smile! Chanyeol's smile is really giving Baekhyun heart attack for the second time this morning!

It has been 5 months after Kyungsoo called off their engagement. Chanyeol is doing well so far. Neither Chanyeol nor Baekhyun bring up about Kyungsoo. Chanyeol is not sure whether he has finally move on from the doe-eyed man or not. But, he does not think about him anymore. Is it because of Baekhyun? He admits that Baekhyun brings color to his life. The boy's laugh sounds beautiful in Chanyeol's ear. His smile is ethereal and when he speaks, his voice is melodious. Chanyeol can feel his heart thumps loudly inside his chest whenever Baekhyun around him. In fact, his heart beats faster when he imagines Baekhyun in his mind. What's wrong with him?

"Maste- I mean, Loey! Let's eat!" Baekhyun calls Chanyeol. Everyone in the cafe except Baekhyun and Sehun recognizes Chanyeol as Loey. The story will be complicated if their colleagues know that they are working with once a great businessman, Park Chanyeol. It is better to hide Chanyeol's real identity.

Chanyeol and Baekhyun will eat lunch and dinner together. For lunch, Chanyeol and Baekhyun will eat their homemade packed meals.

"loey, try my meal! It's yummy!" Baekhyun shoves the spoon into Chanyeol's mouth. Chanyeol munches the food and swallows it.

"you're right. It's delicious," Chanyeol compliments because he knows Baekhyun cooked the food this morning.

Without saying anything, Chanyeol shoves a spoonful of his cook meal into Baekhyun's mouth. Baekhyun used with Chanyeol's new hobby which is suddenly ing foods into his mouth. When Baekhyun gets mad at him, chanyeol gives an excuse,"you're thin as a twig. Eat more!"

Their colleagues cannot hide their smiles when watching them being all sweet. They claim their relationship is just friends. However, their colleagues hope their relationship will change into a romantic couple as they imagine.

The washing machine in Baekhyun and Chanyeol's flat is broken. There is only one washing machine and they share it. Baekhyun is washing his clothes manually. There are mountain of his dirty clothes. Does this kid change his clothes five times a day? Baekhyun looks tired and Chanyeol knows it. Of course he is tired since he needs to wash Chanyeol's and Hyuk's clothes using his hands as well! Chanyeol does not know how to wash clothes manually. That is why Baekhyun offers to help Chanyeol.

"let me help you," Chanyeol says while squatting beside Baekhyun.

"what? No! Go sleep at your room! Tonight you have to work at the bar," Baekhyun shoos away chanyeol from the toilet. But, Chanyeol does not budge an inch. Instead, Chanyeol rinses a shirt and squeezes it to remove the water.

"it's not the right way to rinse and sueeze," Baekhyun chuckles. "let me teach you."

The water splashes towards Baekhyun when Chanyeol rinses the clothes roughly. Chanyeol mischievously squeezes a pants in top of Baekhyun's head.

"yah, Master park!" baekhyun rants. Baekhyun splashes the soapy water onto Chanyeol once the taller man squatting next to him.

Baekhyun steps backward from Chanyeol who is attacking him with a pail of water but he slips over the smooth floor. His is ready to hit the floor but Chanyeol hurriedly grabs his hands and pulls him into his body. Their chests meet and Baekhyun can hear the loud sound of a thumping heart. But, whose heart is it? Chanyeol's or Baekhyun's? can it be both of their heart are thumping vigorously inside their chest? Chanyeol locks his gaze with baekhyun, admiring the pretty face silently.

"saranghae," baekhyun blurts out, his cheeks turns into a deep red.

Chanyeol cannot hold himself anymore. He kisses baekhyun to convey his feeling instead of replying "nado,saranghae," to Baekhyun.

Chanyeol is not only learning on how to wash clothes manually. he also has water and bubbles fight with Baekhyun inside the toilet. Perhaps, he also learns on how to kiss Baekhyun properly?
