After what Tao had said ended up being true, Chanyeol ended up staying in bed for the remainder of the weekend much to Sehun's disdain who had planned an entire weekend for them to sit in front of his TV and finish Arkham together, like he wanted. But Chanyeol ended up turning off his phone and wrapped himself in his comforter like a over-sized burrito and laid on his bed with the TV pointed in his direction so he can at least watch something while he went over the pros and cons of converting himself to becoming a human burrito while devouring everything in his cupboards.

When Monday came around, Chanyeol was still in a depressed state but decided he wasn't going to let everyone else know that he was feeling as depressed as a '15 year old girl whose crush ended up being taken by a hotter admirer'. No, he was going to be classy about this and just wait till he was back at home so he can feel that way, and eat all the burritos he wanted in peace. But that didn't mean that everyone else was going to be on board.
"Whoa, you look like someone killed your cat," commented Jongin as saw Chanyeol step out of the elevator
"I don't have a cat," mumbled Chanyeol, slightly confused but continued walking 
"Did your boyfriend break up with you then?" asked Jongin tilting his head at his hyung while keeping up with him
"No."
"Did you forget to change your underwear?"
"What? No, why are you asking me weird questions?" asked Chanyeol who had stopped walking and faced his coworker, feeling a little annoyed by the irrelevant questions
"Because you look like someone took away your favorite toy and I have nothing better to do right now." replied Jongin with a shrug
"That doesn't mean-" started Chanyeol 
"What did I tell you." said a cold voice
Chanyeol froze and slowly turned around and saw Tao standing behind him with an expressionless face. Dread crept into Chanyeol's stomach as he continued to stare at Tao, his boss was the last person he wanted to see right now. Jongin looked between his boss and Chanyeol feeling genuenly confused now. 
"Good morning, Tao," greeted Jongin timidly, bowing his head slightly
"Good morning Jongin," nodded Tao "Could you give me and Chanyeol a moment alone please?"
"S-sure," replied Jongin slowly, and quickly walked away from the two and toward his office he shared with Kyungsoo
Nervously fiddling with his navy blue tie, Chanyeol cleared his throat nervously as Tao made his way toward him. He wasn't sure if he had it in him to face his boss right now, especially when he was feeling like the world was coming to an end.
"Was a right, or was I right?" asked Tao nonchalantly stopping in front of Chanyeol to rebutton his sharp silver grey suit
"I don't know what your talking about." replied Chanyeol stifly as he rested his arms to his side, trying to stay as calm as possible.
"I'm guessing you didn't hear from him all weekend then?" asked Tao who was now calmly staring down Chanyeol with a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Which would explain the bags under your eyes."
"It's none of your business if MY boyfriend contacted me or not." snapped Chanyeol.
"If he's even your boyfriend now," muttered Tao "A man who doesn't give you the time a day, isn't what you would call a boyfriend in my book." 
Chanyeol opened his mouth to retort back at his boss, but failed at finding the right words that would make up for Kris's absence in his life. But as the moments went by, Chanyeol started to feel that what Tao was saying actually sort of, true. Sensing that Chanyeol wasn't going to talk back, Tao decided to speak once again.
"A man like yours," he started, gaining Chanyeol's attention once more "has something to hide."
Chanyeol stared down at the floor miserably as Tao walked away toward his office leaving him alone in the empty hallway. 

Sehun could do nothing but watch his friend in his depressed state as the next few days went by. Chanyeol would show up for work and do his share of the project and then go home.
No matter how much Sehun tried to persuade his best buddy to go out with him or to come over so they can have dinner and watch a stupid D rated movie with him Chanyeol wouldn't budge and would simply reply with a "no" and go home by himself.
By Friday morning, Sehun had just about had it and decided one way or another he was going to get Chanyeol out of his depression even if he had to use drastic forces. 
His plans went up in flames however, when he saw Chanyeol sitting at his desk humming happily to himself while stacking some papers and smiling to himself. 
What. The. ? he thought to himself
Shrugging his bag off his shoulder, Sehun slowly approached his side of the desk and stared at his friend with a confused look.
"Chanyeol?" asked Sehun slowly, staring at the side of his friends face.
"Good morning Sehunnie!" greeted Chanyeol happily broadcasting his perfectly even white eyed smile
"Okay, who are you and what have you done with my depressed down in the dumps best friend the happy virus Park Chanyeol?" demanded Sehun as he sat down in his desk chair with a huff while glaring suspiciously at Chanyeol who wasn't even fazed by Sehun's remarks.
"I'm right here Sehunnie!" smiled Chanyeol practically cooing at his friend
"Please stop calling me that," remarked Sehun with a scowl "it's creepy."
"It's not that creepy," replied Chanyeol as he turned in his chair to stare at Sehun, his smile still present on his face
"Stop smiling too," snapped Sehun as he reached over his desk to grab his cup of coffee "It's creeping me out more then your horrible pet names."
"How can that be?" asked Chanyeol easing his smile slightly so it only displayed a playful reaction "I use to call you 'Hunnie' all the time when we were little!"
"I didn't like it then, and I don't like it now." muttered Sehun into his coffee and took a sip grimacing at the taste "Ugh, what the heck did you do to my coffee?"
"Like it?" beamed Chanyeol "I took the liberty "I decided to change the cream flavor today and went with 'French Vanilla' and added your usual two packs of 'Sweet n Low'."
"I don't like sweet stuff like this," sighed Sehun and pushed his cup away from him
"I thought it taste good," relented Chanyeol as he smiled into his cup and took a sip "It's like a cake in a cup!"
"Why are you so ing happy this morning?" demanded Sehun "Normally you're only like this when yo-" Sehun stopped what he was saying and glared hard at Chanyeol "You got laid last night didn't you?!"
Chanyeol choked on his drink started coughing profusively, slapping his chest and the desk with his hands trying to get his bearings. In Sehun's eyes however he just looked like a confused seal. Rolling his eyes, Sehun reached across and started patting the poor guy's back till the other had stopped coughing and looked up at his with watery eyes.
"What kind of question is that?" gasped Chanyeol patting his chest "And to ask that at 9:30 in the morning!"
"Just answer the question you tart." demanded Sehun giving his best friend a firm pat on the back "Did you get some last night?"
"No," said Chanyeol quickly while his ears turned a bright shade of red "Not, really."
"Sheesh, you're so typical Channie," muttered Sehun leaning back in his chair to look at his friend "What was his excuse this time?"
"He said he went home to China, not Canada." mumbled Chanyeol drawing circles on his desk with his finger looking like a scowled child "And he barely got back last night and came over as soon as he left the airport."
"And you believe that cockamaine story?" retorted Sehun "And by the way, how many homes does this have? A home in China is news to me."
"Its news to me too." muttered Chanyeol "But he said he just recently bought a place there since he will be working in China for awhile."
"Hmm," hummed Sehun as he stared at Chanyeol with his poker face "What else did he say? Did he give a reason for the hang-up the other night? And also for not calling or returning any of your calls?"
"Kris said he had bad cell signal there," explained Chanyeol "His calls were always getting dropped."
"You do realize this is China right?" asked Sehun rhetorically with a raised eyebrow "You would have to go to the middle of nowwhere to get a bad signal."
"What do you want to me say Sehun?" asked Chanyeol looking at his friend desperately 
"I want you to think about this," replied Sehun "Because on my end it just sounds like a bunch of bull and that guy is good at bullting."
"You're being overly protective of me, " sighed Chanyeol "as usual."
"Somebody has to," retorted Sehun staring at Chanyeol hard "You believe anything that says. I bet you would believe him if he said he was a wizard or a dragon."
"I don't need you to be so critical of my actions Sehun." snapped Chanyeol "And I also don't appreciate you calling Kris such negative names when he hasn't done anything bad to me."
"Are you forgetting the past few months?" hissed Sehun glaring at Chanyeol "or the past week? You've been down right unhappy and he's the cause of it!"
"I was sad because he wasn't with me and he didn't call." replied Chanyeol cooly "But he's back now and he has given me a reasonable explanation as to why he was gone for so long, and I believe him."
"God you can be so dense sometimes." muttered Sehun 
"Just stop it Sehun," glared Chanyeol "I'm happy and don't need you bringing my happiness down."
Sehun opened his mouth to retort back but Chanyeol turned his back on him and went back to paperwork all the while muttering under his breath. Sehun grumbled under his breath and turned back to face his desk and started to occupy himself with his own work. 
Well there goes my plans on cheering him up this weekend He thought to himself.

Tao's eyebrow went up with curiousity when he saw Chanyeol in the copy room humming happily to himself. With curiosity getting the best of him, Tao got closer to observe the man and see what was causing the Auditor to be so cheerful all of a sudden. Tao hung out by the door when he saw Kyungsoo walk into the room and greeted Chanyeol with a simple "good morning" and was taken aback when he saw Chanyeol cheerfully reply back.
"What's gotten into you?" asked Kyungsoo curiously as he gazed up at the taller man "You seem exrtemely cheerful for someone who looked like they were gonna fall into a pit of dispair yesterday."
"I had a great night last night." chirped Chanyeol as he scanned a few papers over by a fax machine (a/n: kekeke that sounds so old XD)
"Ew," remarked Kyungsoo dryly "don't talk to me about your life please. It's only 10 AM."
"What? No," replied Chanyeol quickly, obviously embarrassed "I'm not talking about that! Why is everyone assuming that about me?"
"Because a good boning would put anyone in a good mood." explained Kyungsoo glancing at Chanyeol "If it's not then what else has got you in such a good mood?"
"How about a certain someone coming over to see me last night and tonight we are celebrating His birthday tonight," beamed Chanyeol happily
"Whoa, its his birthday already?!" exclaimed Kyungsoo as he pulled out his phone and stared down at it. "Huh," he said outloud after looking at the date "well look at that."
"I know!" gushed Chanyeol "It's going to be fantastic!"
Tao couldn't help but raise his eyebrow inquisitively at the Auditors expression. The guy was just way too happy. Was Chanyeol always like this? Folding his arms, Tao stared at the two and waited for the conversation to continue.
"Well, I'm glad things are looking up for you Chanyeol," smiled Kyungsoo, "and I hope tonight goes well for the both of you."
"Thanks Kyungsoo." smiled Chanyeol with adoration
Kyungsoo nodded his head fondly and picked up his stack of papers before he left the copy room, leaving Chanyeol alone for Tao to watch. Chanyeol carried on with his copying and started to hum once again. So that's how it is then? Tao thought to himself. Shaking his head at Chanyeol's back, Tao moved away from where he was standing and left the humming man alone.

The rest of the day went by fast for Chanyeol but he sort of preffered how swiftly the work hours went. Kris's text from time to time helped as well. Sehun would roll his eyes whenever Chanyeol's phone would chime letting him know that he got a message, and everytime that stupid chime would go off, Sehun would inadvertly gag when Chanyeol would smile brightly or giggle like no ones business and immediately send a text back to his boyfriend. The sight of a sickenly lovesick Chanyeol was too much for Sehun to bear that after lunch he chose to work in Chen's little office telling the manager that he needed his assistance with some of the auditing (but Sehun later learned that Chen was a complete flop with numbers and ended up helping Chen instead). 
It was at quitting time when Sehun saw Chanyeol skipping toward the elevator and disappeared inside. He wanted to chase after his best friend and get him to see reason and to realized that his boyfriend was a bad dude. But Sehun couldn't bring himself to be the bad guy in Chanyeol's eyes. He was never the bad guy, he was always the good guy and would like that it stayed that way. Mentally wishing his hyung the best, Sehun hoisted up his bag and started for the elevators as well. Pushing the 'down' button, Sehun closed his eyes in exasperation and pinched the bridge between his eyebrows. It had been a long day. Sehun was looking forward to going home and vegging out on some 'Black Ops'. He needed to vent his frustrations with his best friend somewhere. The elevator let out a monotone beep as the doors opened and out walked a small gentleman who only came to Sehun's chest. Sehun moved to the side to let the other out but was halted as he was about to enter by a small dainty looking hand.
"Well hello there handsome," purred the stranger
"Excuse me," muttered Sehun slipping away from the hand and entering the elevator
Sehun looked up and saw a rather strikingly beautiful man standing before him. The man had jet black hair styled perfectly back, cunning black eyes surrounded by ebony eyeliner that was smudge expertly giving him a cat eye look, pink pouty lips smiling at him, the stranger was dressed in a dark maroon suit with his black shirt unbotton revealing his small chest and prominent collarbones. Sehun blinked in amazement, he knew guys could be pretty but this guy was expertly pretty. As if he looked and dressed this way on purpose. Sehun could also sense 'danger' from this guy. Quickly pushing the ground button, Sehun cast his gaze away from the stranger and chose to stare at the ground.
"Aw, he's shy." cooed the man, to no one in particular as the doors began to close.
Sehun snapped his gaze from the floor and gave the guy an incredulous expression. Him shy?
"Bye bye hot stuff!" winked the stranger.
What the ?!
Sehun fell against the wall of the elevator as it started to make its decent downwards and let out a long sigh.
"I think I need to take a shower," he mumbled to himself, feeling creept out all of a sudden.

*
-Anyeong! This is Park Chanyeol! Sorry I can't come to the phone right now! Leave a message and I'll get back to you, okay? Bye bye!-
-Beep-
'Hyung...I'm outside your door. Open up...Hyung, I know your there. I can hear you playing 'Starlight' really loud from your bedroom...Aish this guy...I'm gonna go get some food. The door betterbe unlocked when I get back.'
-Beep-
*

Chanyeol nervously looked down at his watch and bit his lip worriedly. It was pushing toward late in the evening and Kris still hadn't shown up. There were only a few customers in the restruaunt left, waiters were starting to clean up around him. Chanyeol looked down at the almost burnt out candle on the table, next to it was a small black jewelry box. It was a silver chain bracelet with a charming heart locket on it. Kris's birthday present from Chanyeol. Chanyeol stared at the gift sadly, he had no idea where his boyfriend was or what was keeping him from their date. Yes he had left voicemail after voicemail and even text messages expressing his worry. But Kris never replied back to them. After an hour of Chanyeol's constant calling, to his horror Kris turned his phone off. 
"Excuse me sir," said the waiter kindly "we will be closing soon. Would you like to order still?"
Chanyeol snapped out of his thoughts and turned his attention from the table to the waiter and couldn't help but flush in an embrarrassment for getting lost in his own world. Chanyeol quickly reached for his glass and presented it to the waiter and asked for another refill of the Chardanay he had been sipping on all night. The waiter smiled politely and took the glass with him, leaving Chanyeol alone once again.
"Kris," said Chanyeol quietly "Where the heck are you?" 
Looking at his phone for a lack of anything better to do, Chanyeol opened up his message app and saw Sehun and Kyungsoo had text him asking how his evening was going. He even got an email from Tao explaining that there was going to be a meeting on Monday morning and to arrive early. Chanyeol was about to send a reply to Kyungsoo when he heard a familiar laugh. Chanyeol whipped around in his seat and looked toward the bar lounge of the restruaunt and his eyes widen in shock. In the corner of the dimly lit bar, there was a tuff of golden blond hair belonging to his beloved who had his back to him laughing full heartedly as he was getting playfully smacked on the arm by a slimming dainty hand. Chanyeol felt his heart stop when he saw Kris lean forward and pull the owner of the delicate hand close to him and there was a muffled silence between them. 
*

"Holy ..." said Sehun stunned, tching his tongue at the mess he saw "What happened here?"
Chanyeol stiffen underneath his mountain of blankets and pulled the covers up and saw Sehun's black and white sneakers. After he heard Sehun's message, Chanyeol obediently unlocked his door and went back to his room and hid underneath his blankets again. He knew that if he didn't unlock the door, Sehun would break the door down and Chanyeol really didn't have the utilities deposit to get it fix if that happened. He felt Sehun pulling the blankets off one by one till the only thing sheltering him was his comforter. Chanyeol heard Sehun sigh softly before warm arms were wrapped around his shoulders trapping him underneath. 
"Hey," said Sehun softly, "You there hyung?"
Chanyeol could feel his eyes watering up again as Sehun started to rock him back in forth, humming so softly it barely came out as a whisper. Sniffing pathetically, Chanyeol wiggled out of Sehun's embrace and pulled the comforter away from his head and stared up at Sehun who was staring back at him with an apologetic expression. Chanyeol bit down on his lip to keep it from trembling and pulled the blanket over his head again and began to cry once more. 
Sehun watched his best friend mournfully and shrugged off his coat before wrapping his arms around the crying Chanyeol, rubbing his back affectionately. 
"My dad told me once that a man should never cry," mumbled Sehun quietly to Chanyeol's covered head  "But you've been hurt hyung, so you go ahead and cry. I'll be right here no matter what."
Chanyeol let out an ugly wail and hugged Sehun tightly causing the young man to gripe at the grip around his chest. But Sehun didn't pull away, he simply shifted his legs and pulled Chanyeol even closer so that the taller was in between his legs. He could feel his t-shirt getting soaked with Chanyeol's tears.  Sehun whispered soothing 'it's okay''s over and over as Chanyeol continued to cry. Was it just him or was his crying getting louder?
"S-Sehuh-hun" wailed Chanyeol, burying his face into his best friends chest 
"There, there hyung," soothed Sehun patting his back gently 
"I hurt so bad," cried Chanyeol, sniffing loudly, making Sehun cringe on the inside 
"I know dude, I know," eased Sehun, pulling out a small plastic bag and pulling out some tissues for Chanyeol 
"I-I-I," hiccuped Chanyeol as Sehun gently wiped his nose "I-broke a mir-mirror-"
"I know, I know," said Sehun gently
"An-an-an-"
"Deep breaths Chanyeol," coaxed Sehun pushing back Chanyeol's hair 
"And Kris's ph-phone-" whimpered Chanyeol, "He hates me!"
"Don't worry about his phone, he deserved it." assured Sehun 
"It was horrible!" cried Chanyeol "Worst night of my life!"
"Worst night of your life so far," offered Sehun with a small smile
Chanyeol didn't get the joke and ended up crying harder, causing Sehun to smack himself for being so dumb. 

*
Chanyeol wasn't sure what made him do it. 
Maybe it was the feather that broke the camel's back in his mind and heart. 
Or the stress he was putting himself through trying to convince other's that Kris was a good guy.
One would even say it was just pure anger for always being stood up and not being in the loop in Kris's life.
Whatever it was, one thing was for sure: Chanyeol had had enough!
Grabbing the black velvet jewlery box from the table, Chanyeol stood up from his seat successfully getting everyone's attention as the table he was sitting at toppled over from his move. Chanyeol clutched the box in his hand tightly and marched over to where his boyfriend was and shoved Kris to the side and yanked the leech that was on his boyfriend, off his stool and punch him hard in the cheek.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE DOING KISSING MY BOYFRIEND!?!" hollared Chanyeol angrily raising his fist once more
"CHANYEOL!"
Chanyeol turned around and saw that Kris was holding his wrist tightly glaring at him with deathly intent. Chanyeol felt his heart stop as Kris pushed him away and he fell back against the wall. He watched in horror as Kris went to the guy on the floor's aide and picked him up off the ground, carrassing his brusied cheek.
"Are you okay Baekhyun?" asked Kris gently
"Of course I'm not fine!" snapped the one called Baekhyun, holding his cheek and sent a glare at Chanyeol "He said HE was YOUR BOYFRIEND!" 
"I am his boyfriend!" defended Chanyeol 
"No, I am!" shouted Baekhyun raising his right hand and showed off a silver ring on his middle ring "See!"
Chanyeol looked at the ring then at Kris demanding an answer. 
"Chanyeol," said Kris quietly "Please leave. You're ruining my birthday."
"What?" asked Chanyeol "What are you talking about? I was waiting for you. You said we were going to spend your birthday together."
"I don't know what your talking about." said Kris curtly "I never said I would spend my birthday with you."
"Yes you did!" said Chanyeol quickly, shaking his head in denial at what was happening, "Last night, you said we would spend tonight together because you've been away for so long."
"What's this idiot talking about?" demanded Baekhyun looking at Kris "You can't really be serious when you said you would spend your birthday with him? Look at him. He's not even your style."
Chanyeol felt his cheeks burn in embarrassment at the statement. What was wrong with him? How could he not be Kris's style? They've been together for so long.
"Don't worry baby," replied Kris, "I wasn't being serious."
Chanyeol looked up in disbelief at Kris who was looking at him with an indifferent expression. 
"Kris," whispered Chanyeol hurtfully, "Don't be like this..."
"Your so burdensom Chanyeol," stated Kris, "So clingly and constantly bothering me with your questions. I can never breath when I'm with you. It's annoying how you always call even when I say I'm busy."
"Kris-" started Chanyeol 
"I've been trying for the past month to get you to leave me alone, but you just won't do it." ranted Kris "I don't want to be with you anymore Chanyeol. We're done."
"But," muttered Chanyeol shaking his head, "You said-"
"I was lying Chanyeol." countered Kris, "Stop embarrassing yourself and leave."
-boom, boom, boom-
Everything came crashing down inside Chanyeol's world. His heart broke into a million pieces. How could Kris say that to him? No. This isn't happening. This was a dream. It had to be a dream! Kris would never say that to him.
"No." said Chanyeol.
"Chan-"
"I love you, Kris," said Chanyeol softly
"...."
"Stop joking around," said Chanyeol gently, "let's go home."
"No Chanyeol."
"You can open your birthday present ther-"
"STOP CHANYEOL!" 
Chanyeol flinched when he heard Kris yell at him angrily, he reached out to try and stop Kris from leaving, but was pushed away once again. But this time it was Baekhyun who pushed him. 
"Kris!" shouted Chanyeol
Kris never looked back, but pulled Baekhyun closer to him and ignored Chanyeol. Chanyeol looked at table and saw Kris's cellphone was still there. Snatching it up, Chanyeol ran after his boyfriend...was he still his boyfriend? Feeling frustration and anger for being ignored, Chanyeol flung the expensive looking phone across the room causing it smash to a million pieces right above Baekhyun's head who shrieked in horror. Kris turned around and glared at Chanyeol who froze in his spot. But he wasn't about to give up. If this was the only way to get Kris to notice him so be it. This was so twisted and it hurt so much. Chanyeol wanted so much to cower and apologize to Kris, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. Kris owed him an explanation. Things just weren't making any sense! 
Chanyeol looked down at the velvet box in his hand one more time before he threw it at Kris who easily dodged it and caused it to hit the mirror wall breaking it. Kris stared down at the gift before he left, leading Baekhyun by the hand.

*
Sehun stretched his legs out in front of him, groaning when he felt a pop in his knees. Growing old . In his lap, Chanyeol was soundly sleeping his eyes even more puffier then they were before. Tear stain cheeks and a red nose stuck out more then Chanyeol's large ears.  Sehun sighed and patted the sleeping giants head affectionately. Chanyeol did his best to tell Sehun what had happened last night but couldn't finish after he punched what's his face and bawled the rest of the story. Not that Sehun mind, he already knew what had happened before Chanyeol had a chance to tell him his side of the story. 

HIIIIII GUYSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LONG TIME NO SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HOPE THIS CHAPTER MAKES UP FOR MY ABSENCE! SORRY THAT ITS A LITTLE CONFUSING. I'LL FIX IT LATER!    I need to go to sleep DX DX
