Baekhyun POV

I slowly opened my eyes and looked around the unfamiliar place; I jerked up quickly; it was 5 am; I looked at the sofa next to me and saw Kris; tears rushed back to my eyes and my heart started aching badly as I remembered every single word escaped Kris’s mouth few hours ago

*Flashback*

“Baekhyun … come with me” Kris said with straight face and husky voice; he grabbed my wrist again dragging me to his apartment; I didn’t react or say anything and I just followed him; I sat down on the sofa and he went for a few minutes and came back with 2 mugs in his hands

“Have some …” he said and handed me the warm mug; I took it and carefully looked at him; he sat across me on the sofa; he sighed and looked down

“Your Mother … Byun Byul … in the past …” He started and my breath was cut off again; I listened carefully to his words

“She used to work for a rich family in China … she was in love with their one and only son; he loved her back but …”

“ … The family was totally against the relationship and rejected her and fired her but later she discovered that she was pregnant with their son’s kid …” He said and my eyes slightly went wide

“… and when she gave birth … they took the kid from her and threatened her to keep her to stay quite so … she had to leave her kid behind and just … leave” He said and tears began to form madly in my eyes; I couldn’t believe what was he saying; he just showed up few days ago and now he’s telling me all this? … who is he?

“She begged them to have her kid back but they totally refused … she came back to Korea and lived her life normally and I suppose she got married and had you … but …“ he said and I could feel tears already running down my cheeks; my lips were trembling; I was under major shock at the moment

“Few years back … she went back to the family after so many years … she just asked them to glance at him; she wanted to see him after he grew up but … she came to know that he … died from sickness …”

“That’s why she … gave up her life too because she thought it was all her fault; she thought she doesn’t deserve to live anymore … that’s why she …” he said and looked up and met my wide, full of tears eyes; I swallowed hard and tried to stop my trembling lips but couldn’t

“H-“

“H-How do yo- you know … all this?” I said and tried to maintain my shaky voice but it kept cracking as tears kept pouring madly

“I’m … Wu YiFan … the son of the man your mother loved before and had his late son and my … Hyung …” he said and I looked at me sadly

“I searched for you … I wanted you to know the truth … I’m sorry for telling you this late … I just wanted you to know … you have the right to know … ”

“I was as shocked as you … I thought he was my brother from the same father and mother but I came to know about all this after he … left us”

“I knew about the whole story from my Dad who was feeling terribly awful when he heard about her committing suicide and he was the only one who knew the reason behind her suicide and I don’t know why but something died inside me knowing about her other family state and I was determined to find you and tell you the truth …”

“My father doesn’t know that am here and that I found you … and I really was ---“He said but stopped when suddenly I burst out crying loudly as I couldn’t take it anymore; I felt my tightened chest going to burst anytime soon; I felt like I was going to die from the sharp pain in my heart; I could feel arms wrapped around me

“How- How can –“I tried to say but because I was crying hard the words hardly came out

“She’s so selfish … she is … she …” I continued in between my painful sobs; I could hardly catch my breath

*End of FlashBack*

Tears blurred my vision as I was still fixing my eyes on Kris who was sleeping soundlessly on the sofa across me; I wiped off my tears and looked at Kris before leaving the apartment

‘Thank you … for telling me everything’ I thought and swallowed back the tears; I rushed out of the house and headed quickly to my home; I opened the door and headed quickly to Appa’s room

“Appa …” I whispered softly; he was still laying lifelessly just the way I left him yesterday morning; I looked away as tears started to threaten to fall down; I looked at him again

“I’m sorry …” I whispered and caressed his hand gently

“Appa … I’m sorry …” I said and bent my head down sobbing heavily and painfully

After giving Appa his medicines; I covered him well and went out of the room; I sat down heavily trying to calm myself down; I took out my phone and dialed Chanyeol’s number; the one I need the most right now …

Chanyeol POV

I couldn’t sleep the whole night; my heart was hurting me so much; I couldn’t believe such a pure and innocent person like Baekhyun would cheat on me … or he wasn’t really that pure and innocent?

I hardly got 1 hour of sleep; I was so angry and pissed off;  I can feel the amount of hate in my heart toward him right now for making me feel like this; my phone suddenly rang and I jerked up from my bed and snatched it from the nightstand beside my bed; I looked deeply at the phone while its vibrating in my hand

‘My one and only’

I was about to answer but soon remembered the way he looked at Kris; when he was between his arms; when he lied to me and when he left … with him

I threw the phone back on the nightstand and left it ringing there nonstop; I went and took a hot bath to calm down my anger

‘You dare and cheat on me … because I love you?’

‘Byun Baekhyun …’

‘I’ll show you the real love.’ I thought angrily as I dressed up and head out of the apartment

Baekhyun POV

I called Chanyeol many times but he never picked up; it’s very rare that he won’t answer my calls; I sighed and put the phone down; I took a relaxing shower but it didn’t really help much; I walked out of the bathroom and called him again but still … he didn’t pick up

Heavily; I headed out of the apartment to work; I didn’t even made breakfast; I really wasn’t feeling well; I got in the restaurant and looked for Chanyeol who didn’t seem to have come yet

“Oh? Baekhyun? You look pale?” I heard Luhan’s soft voice

“Oh … I just didn’t sleep well” I said shortly with a forced smile; I heard the door opening as I was giving my back to it; I saw Luhan hyung smile

“Oh? Chanyeol! I love your new look; so handsome” I looked back and saw Chanyeol; He cut his hair short; I admit he looked really handsome and manly but … he looked so … cold?

“Chanyeol … nice new look” I said awkwardly as I sensed him being in a bad mood; he didn’t give me his warmest smiles as usual; he didn’t come closer and hugged me asking about his breakfast impatiently; he didn’t even look up at me …

“I … called you but you didn’t answer …” I said carefully but he just walked passed me and headed to check on the kitchen and workers; my heart tightened and I felt hurt

‘Why is he being … like this?’ I thought still standing in my place looking at his awkward moves while he was avoiding me

“Chan-“I started again but he cut me off with a hurtful, cold look that send shivers down my spine

“Get to work already.” He said with heavy, firm voice that he never used with me; I was taken aback by his sudden change in behavior; I swallowed hard as tears felt like a lump in my throat now; I looked at him still not believing he was actually … Chanyeol

Customers started coming in; I started to serve them but still kept on glancing at Chanyeol who didn’t glance at me … not even once as we usually do; I tried my best to control myself and focus on work for now but I couldn’t; tears almost chocked me to death; I looked at Chanyeol who took his car keys and headed outside; I looked at Sehun

“Sehun-ah, get this to Table #7” I said and ran after Chanyeol; he opened his car door and was about to get in

“Chanyeol.” I said and tried to straightened my shaky voice and control my tears; coldly and slowly he turned and looked at me emotionlessly; I swallowed hard as I approached him; I looked at his cold gaze

“What’s w-wrong with you?” I stuttered as I looked at him deeply in the eyes

“A-Are you mad … at me?” I stuttered again as my lips curved in a shape because I was about to cry but still I controlled my tears; he blinked slowly and coldly looking into my eyes

“Hmm?” I questioned again as I tried to reach for his hand but he moved it away; I was slightly taken aback by his move … it hurts

“Let’s break up.”
