Chanyeol POV

My phone vibrated at the middle of the night and I hurridly picked it up because I know no one would call at this time except Baekhyun

“Baek Babe?”

“Chanyeol …” he said softly with a slight tired voice

“Oh Baek …? Can’t sleep Babe?” I said softly since I know this tone means he’s having hard time sleeping

“Mmm …” He replied

“Play guitar for me …” he said again with a gloomy tone and it was clear for me that something is bothering him but he doesn’t want to talk about it so he would ask me to play guitar for him instead of talking and then he would feel better and fall asleep

“Okay Babe …” I said and reached for my guitar; I put the phone down and started playing his favorite ‘Love song by bumkey’; After a while I stopped playing and held the phone close to my ear

“Are you sleeping Baek?” I said but no sound came so I was assured he already slept

“Good night Babe …” I said softly and hanged up the phone

I opened my eyes and stretched my body; I looked at my side and saw that it was already 9am; I took my cell phone from the nightstand and found one massage; I smiled and opened it quickly

“Chan~ Chan~ Channie ♥ Gut morning ^^” I smiled at his cute morning massage and laid back down and held my cell phone above my face and clicked the bottoms with a soft smile formed on my lips; I smiled and got out off the bed and head to take a shower

“Ah~ such a beautiful morning” I said as I stretched again while heading to the bathroom

Baekhyun POV

I woke up early in the morning at 6 am since it’s time for my father medicine to be taken; I opened his room slowly and peeked inside; he was lying down lifelessly with opened eyes while staring blankly at the ceiling

 He was in this state since my mother ended her life; He stopped talking and just laid there lifelessly after she commit suicide mysteriously and selfishly; no one knew the reason behind her suicide; our life was messed up and he was dangerously depressed and sickness weakened his body; he used to stay in bed for days and days and now he never gets up; I was in the edge of giving up on life because of the pain I was facing every single day until Chanyeol came and saved my life with his love … I believed again that life is still worth living

I stood above him and looked at him with sad eyes but he didn’t even blink or react to my presence as usual; my heart aches when I see his state; sometimes I never leave him and stay by his side the whole night afraid that he might just leave me and … go

“Appa …” I whispered softly holding his cold hand

“Are you feeling any better?” I said and caressed his hand gently; I sighed softly when no reaction was made as usual; I put his hand down gently and brought the medicine and fed it to him slowly and laid him back down

“Appa … you can’t leave me … please stay strong and …” I whispered softly again as tears chocked my throat

“ … Come back …” I said and tears rushed to my eyes again; I wiped off the tears and stood up and headed out of the room; heavily, I took my cell phone and sent Chanyeol his morning massage as usual

 I know he’s in his deep sleep now but it just became a habit sending him the morning massage; I smiled when I saw our selca on my cell phone background; my finger moved on the screen and I caressed his face

“Thank you …”I whispered and a soft smile formed on my lips

“… for always being there for me when I need you” I continued; I felt warmth inside my heart; I closed cell phone and headed to take a shower; I came out of the bathroom refreshed to start a new day; I wanted to meet Chanyeol as soon as possible because I missed him … I just saw him yesterday though but I still miss him

With him occupying my thoughts; I was smiling happily while cooking breakfast as I prepared Chanyeol’s favorite food and arranged them cutely inside the boxes; I heard my phone vibrate; I put down the pan carefully and ran to my cell phone; I opened the massage and couldn’t help but smile

“Baekhyun-ie … my one and only … sweet morning my love ♥”

I closed the phone and hugged it close to my heart; I smiled and took my bag and headed out for work; I work in a restaurant owned by Chanyeol’s parents; I came to meet him there; I work with other 10 friendly workers or more like friends? Not all of them thought there is one new guy called Kris he’s from China and used to live in Canada; he’s quite friendly though and handsome; the restaurant concept is to hire only good looking guys and it attracts A LOT of girls and … guys

I opened the door to be greeted by Luhan and Kyungsoo who were preparing for opening the restaurant and start the day; I smiled at them and put my bag into the table

“Breakfast for Chanyeol again?” Luhan said smiling sweetly at me; I smiled shyly and nodded; we didn’t know each other’s for a long time but we still were so close to each others; I heard the door opening; I turned to be greeted by the warmest smile ever … Chanyeol … the love of my life

“Chan is here” he said with his deep voice charmingly and came closer and hugged me

“Is my breakfast ready? Am hungry” he said and I was still in between his arm; I looked up and our smiling eyes met; I nodded with a shy smile while biting my lower lip; I released myself from his arms and arranged the breakfast for him; he sat down and looked lovingly at the food as usual; he looked up at me lovingly

“Thank you ...” he said and I sat in front of him enjoying his sight while eating the breakfast I made especially for him

“How is … your father today?” He said slowly looking carefully at me and my smile faded away slowly as I shook my head and looked down

“It’s okay … I’m sure he’ll be fine” He said and reached for my hand and caressed it gently

“Don’t you trust Channie’s words?” He said still holding my hand gently; I looked up and he smiled warmly to me and nodded slowly assuring me that everything will be fine; I sighed softly and smiled to him weakly; he continued eating his breakfast and the work started; while serving me and Chanyeol would glance at each other every time I pass by him and he would start flirting with me with his eyes and I would glare at him because it’s obvious that some customers notices our lovey dovey acts

“Baekhyun-ssi … Can I talk to you for a moment?” I turned and saw the new worker Kris

“Sure; just a moment” I nodded as I served the table and headed back to him again

“What did you want to talk about Kris-ssi?” I said and he looked at me hesitantly; he suddenly grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the restaurant

 I pulled my eyebrows together because of his weird action but still walked along with him; he stopped and now we were all alone at the back of the restaurant building where there was no one; only me and him

“Is there … something wrong Kris-ssi?” I said and looked carefully at his face; although he was really friendly I didn’t fully feel comfortable around him since he stepped inside the restaurant; he would give me weird looks and keeps on glancing at me all the time; I looked at him waiting for him to say whatever he has; he looked around him and then looked back at me into the eyes

“How can I –“I started but was immediately cut off by his deep, husky voice

“Byun Byul …” he said and my heart stopped beating the moment he mentioned my Mother name

“How … How do you …?” I asked him with shaky voice trying hard not to show the tears that chocked me at the moment; he didn’t say anything but came closer and hugged me tight; I didn’t move; I was stunned in my place

Chanyeol POV

I looked at how that Kris guy was looking at Baekhyun the whole time; I kept observing him closely; my eyes slightly widened when he approached Baekhyun and pulled him outside the place

‘What the hell!!’ I thought as I looked at Baekhyun following along with him; I looked at the customer in front of me; I forced a smile and helped them in and asked Luhan to serve them; I tried to control myself but … why would this guy pull Baekhyun out like this? They are not even close to being friends yet

 I went out of the restaurant and looked around but I couldn’t find them; I ran to the back of the building but soon stopped when I saw them …

 Baekhyun was in between his arms and that Kris guy was hugging him tightly … Baekhyun didn’t even pushed him … away.

Kris slowly broke the hug and looked down at Baekhyun; I hid myself behind the wall quickly; I glanced again and saw how Baekhyun was looking up at him in the eyes right now

 ‘I thought he only would give me this look … why is he looking at Kris like this?’  I thought and y hand unconsciously came up and held were my heart started to ache

 My chest tightened; I glanced at them again and saw how Kris was caressing Baekhyun’s face while gently looking down at his face? I couldn’t take it anymore; I clenched my fist tight and headed back to the restaurant; I waited patiently for Baekhyun to return

Baekhyun POV

I was stunned in my spot; I was so shock I didn’t even blink; I didn’t know what was going on; it’s been three years already but how does he know my Mother? I was busily and blankly thinking; I was released from his arms; I looked up at him with tears; he brought his hands up to my face and wiped off my tears and caressed my face gently

“Let’s talk after work at 9 PM okay?” he said and looked at him with teary eyes;

 ‘How can I trust him? But he knows my mother ... I need to know what happened? I need to know why she committed suicide. He knows something and I need to know about it’ I thought still looking at him and then nodded slowly

“Meet me here after work” he said and I nodded again; he squeezed my hand gently and went back to the restaurant; I was lost in my thoughts again and took sometime till I get back to the restaurant; blankly; I stepped inside and headed straight toward the kitchen

Chanyeol POV

Kris came back and started to serve the customers normally; I waited for Baekhyun to show up and after sometime he came back; he didn’t even look at me and head straight to the Kitchen; I sighed as I tried hard to control my temper right now

 It’s been an hour already and he didn’t even glance at me once while serving; he kept looking at Kris and Kris would return the look with an assuring warm smile? I started to boil inside; I couldn’t control it anymore so I approached Baekhyun and acted normal

“Baek Babe … Where did you go earlier?” I said and examined his face carefully

“Huh? No- Nowhere I was just … you know … I needed some fresh air” He said and avoided my gaze

‘Are you … lying to me?’ I thought as I looked deeply at him; my chest tightened and I just replied with ‘Oh.’ and got back to work

 I was speechless and I felt hurt; he never lied to me once; business started getting lighter as it was almost time to close up; they started cleaning and I saw how Kris approached Baekhyun again and Baekhyun nodded after Kris told him something; I approached Baekhyun

“Baek, I’ll drive you home … let’s go” I said but he looked at me and shook his head with a smile

“I have something to do before going home; you go ahead; I’ll call you later tonight” he said and I was taken aback

 I gazed at his eyes again that were avoiding mine; I nodded as I felt my chest tightening again; I turned away and head to my car but I couldn’t just leave; I parked the car far enough from the restaurant and waited for Baekhyun to come out

My eyes widened when I saw him heading to the same place from earlier; I moved the car ahead a little bit to get a better view and yeah … although it was a bit dark I could clearly see Kris there waiting for him

 I swallowed hard as I felt the pain shooting to my already aching heart; I looked at their backs till they fully disappeared from the view; I headed back home heavily and waited patiently for Baekhyun to call me before he head to bed as usual but the call … never came

I couldn’t sleep peacefully; I kept on glancing at my phone to check if Baekhyun called or even sent a massage but I saw nothing; I couldn’t wait any longer so I dialed his number; I waited for sometime till he picked up

“Yoboseyo?” I heard on the other line

“Who are you? Isn’t this Baekhyun’s phone?” I said when I heard a deep, husky voice

“Oh yeah it is Baekhyun’s but he’s sleeping right now; do you need to pass a massage for hi-“ he said but I cut him off as I could clearly tell it was Kris

“No. I don’t want to. Don’t mind me and don’t tell him I called. Have a goodnight” I said and hanged up quickly; I threw the phone on the ground and breathed out heavily and angrily

‘What? Sleeping?’ I thought as I felt tears rushing to my eyes

‘How could he … lie to me?’

‘Byun Baekhyun … I thought you were different and would never cheat on me …’

‘But you are no different … how dare you …?’ I thought as anger started to blind me; wasn’t it clear enough? He was cheating on me with that guy; I held on my tightened heart and tried hard to control my anger but all I can think about is that

‘I hate him and I’ll never forgive him …’

‘I hate you … Byun Baekhyun’
