AND I AM BACK. Not a lot of words to say, but once again, thank you for waiting for my update :) Sorry for the long wait, but here it is now. Thank you so so so so much to eunicoorn for the poster. It's so fitting for the chapter!!

"Moon. Ah. Reum. How in the world did you find out about my bed friend arrangement?" His tone was slow, almost threatening.

Chanyeol had thought that not a single soul in the EXO staff knew about his "bed friend way", but here was Moon Ah Reum, seated across him, enjoying the panic attack he was having.

Smart with her reply, she uttered, "I happen to take my job seriously, as your publicist." 

Chanyeol could only grab a fistful of his hair, gulp down his drink as he felt like surrendering to Ah Reum's display of coolness. Despite the dim lighting of the pub they were in, he could definitely see how Ah Reum's eyes twinkled at the sight of a very panicky Chanyeol.

"But that doesn't mean that you should pry into my very very very busy life." He was blunt and fearless, without hesitating to emphasize the last two words.

Ah Reum momentarily choked on her drink. "Busy? Chanyeol, your mating life is dormant."

Chanyeol, for a good second or two, was legitimately smiling at Ah Reum's inability to say the word "." Actually, it was kind of cute? And the way she was chugging down her drink endlessly? Cute?

"Hell no." Chanyeol mentally scolded himself. There was no way in this lifetime that he'd find the opportunity to think of their straight laced publicist in an attracted fashion. Besides, he found Ah Reum's business suit scornful. A man like him wanted women of great curves and glamorous sense of style.

But Ah Reum's direct blow at his very "stagnant", "dormant mating life" got him gritting his teeth like a mad man. It was true, though. He has not found anyone YET.

"Just you wait. I'm taking my sweet time selecting someone who'll keep up with my appetite. Wait, you know what? 'Nuff about me. Why don't you tell me that dirty secret of yours so we're fair and square?" 

Chanyeol smoothly served Ah Reum a naughty smirk but stopped when he noticed their publicist's eyes, half-lidded and consumed by alcohol. Somebody's getting tipsy. Talkative drunk in 3, 2, 

"Oh okay. You want my secret just because I know yours? You like to ask for things in return? Very conditional, I see. Perhaps, that is how you are as a lover. You have no idea what unconditional love means. Hahahahaha." Moon Ah Reum mindlessly remarked, not comprehending that her comment ignited a bone in Chanyeol's body. Much to her surprise, Chanyeol got up from his seat and seized Ah Reum by her tiny wrists, eyes not tearing away from her.

"I will tolerate this just because you're getting drunk as fck, but just so you know, Miss Moon, I know what unconditional love is. And I'm capable of it." 

His warning caused the extremely tipsy Ah Reum to laugh. "Aww you sound a lot like Ji Hoon now. How can somebody be so perfect and flawless and sweet and clean and polished and morally educated? Only Ji Hoon. Now that I look at you, Chanyeol, you do look a lot like him, your voice is way deeper, but wow, you have the facial structure. But then again, you like dirty and temporary things. And you have a mouth that curses like tomorrow never exists. And, and, you are so pushy and controling then Ji Hoon is calm and patient and-"

"Shut up." Chanyeol interrupted. Aside from losing control, he hated being compared. Hate hate hate it. He was the type to respect Ah Reum routinely, but he did not care for her comparisons. He could tolerate it because she was drunk, but the fact that her comparisons were somehow true made him one angry, six-feet, monster.

"Once I crack your secret, you'll be on your knees, begging me n
