Chapter 2

As Baekhyun want, Chanyeol took a day off from his work and went to see Baekhyun at his home. Practically it’s their home but he didn’t go back almost a 2 year and half. He arrived at the place and was welcomed with warm breeze. The birds are chirping soundly like they’ve been waiting for him to come home. It takes 2 hours to get there so since Chapter want to avoid the traffic jam, he wait till the noon and make his way to Baekhyun house. He look up and think the house is still the same. Not even one thing was changed. It’s him the only one who change.

As he stand in front of the door, he felt something familiar. He’s sweating, his leg wobble and his heart is racing. He’s nervous. To meet a person who he left for so many years and finally come back with just one goal he need to achieve , making Baekhyun sign the divorce paper. He’s hurting Baekhyun and at the same time he’s hurting himself too. He knocked the door twice and the door open reveal a girl in her late 20s wearing an apron greeting him respectfully.

who’s this?

“ you’re here Mr Park. Baekhyun has been waiting for you. Please come in” The girl says, opening the door widely for Chanyeol to come inside. Chanyeol step into the house as he look inside of the house, his expectations are gone.

Why don’t Baekhyun remove the picture on the wall? Why don’t he renovate this old house? Just why?

The house is still the same inside out. Again, he feels like a total stranger in the house even he’s in his own house.

“ I’ll call him for you” Nameun says as she walk up stairs to call Baekhyun who’s still busy writing his novel.

Chanyeol is more nervous than before. He’s meeting Baekhyun again after long time. He never thought him meeting Baekhyun would be this nervous? He calm himself by checking his phone even the phone is literally empty or Si Ah is being paranoid messaging him non stop from yesterday. He’ll reply it later when he has time. As time pass by, Chanyeol heard door clicked. It means Baekhyun is finally out from his room but he doesn’t want to care. He want to look at the smaller but he can’t.

“ Chanyeol” the voice call him. Chanyeol feels like there’s something forcing him to look at the smaller direction and now he can’t even move his gaze toward his husband.

Baekhyun is wearing casual shirt which is white tshirt and nude coloured cardigan with white loose trousers and his pitched black shining hair with his round glass complete his whole look. Chanyeol never thought Baekhyun would be this pretty even he’s wearing very simple shirt. He can’t move or avert his gaze on Baekhyun as the smaller walk down, he can feel his heart is beating even faster . It’s like their first encounter with each other at the campus 7 years ago. Chanyeol is back from his football training and suddenly saw a cute petite guy walking down from the stairs calmly with his cute round glass on his face while hugging his notebooks on his chest, he turn to Chanyeol and smiled as a sign of greeting and went away with Chanyeol heart in his palm. At that time Chanyeol couldn’t do anything but to stare at Baekhyun beauty because he’s shining like a star. That’s what Chanyeol thought on Baekhyun on their first met.

“ you came” the smaller said with a smile.

That smile.. that damn smile..

“ well uhh yeah..” Chanyeol said, scratching his head. But then Baekhyun look around.

“ you didn’t bring any shirts with you?” Baekhyun asks.

“ no. I was thinking to get this thing done and go back to Seoul. I want to settle this thing quick as possible” Chanyeol said without look at the smaller. He’s feeling guilty.

“ I know I know.. the divorce paper.. I’ll sign it later but I have few conditions for you before I sign those” Baekhyun said.

“ what is it? Mr Kim said you refuse the money I want to give it to you—”

“ calm down. Let’s have a seat first and we’ll discuss about this. Shall we?” Baekhyun say, not letting the taller to answer he take Chanyeol wrist making the taller shocked and follow the smaller like a puppy. All Chanyeol can see is the back of Baekhyun head as he get dragged to the garden and he can see Baekhyun already prepare everything for him. The scent of tea and biscuits, the perfect combination for evening tea. This remember him of the good old days where he and Baekhyun usually sit at the garden together talking about something nonesense while eating the biscuits.

“ have some.” Baekhyun says as he push a plate full of biscuits in it toward Chanyeol.

“ Baek I—”

“ stay here for a week” Baekhyun says out of nowhere making the taller surprise.

“ I’m sorry what?” Chanyeol asks again.

“ I said, stay here for a week with me Chanyeol. I’m not asking more” Baekhyun said while looking sipping the tea.

“ Baek you know I can’t. I have works and responsibilities there and...”

“ and what Chanyeol? All those years you’ve been working until you are... you right now.. is it still not enough?” Baekhyun said making Chanyeol paused. The smaller realise what he just say to Chanyeol then feel guilty all of sudden.

“ I’m sorry.. I didn’t mean to nag at you. I know who I am and I didn’t have any right to complaint about your life but I just don’t want to see you working too much Chanyeol. I know you’re a workaholic but please, take a minute to rest. Take a break. I don’t like to see you being tired. You look so lifeless ” Baekhyun says.

You’re my husband Baekhyun. You do have the right to nag at me.. why’d you have to say that...

Chanyeol thought.

“ I’m sorry and it’s just... haih, I don’t want to force you to stay here if you insist but I’m still with me decision Chanyeol. I’ll not sign the paper if you didn’t stay here. All I ask is only a week.” Baekhyun said looking straight at his garden.

“ but if you really want a divorce so badly, you can go leave the paper here and go back to Seoul today and tell Mr Kim to fetch the documents here.” Baekhyun stands up.

“ but before you leave, please enjoy the biscuits I made for you.. maybe you won’t taste it later...” Baekhyun excuse himself and went into the house leaving Chanyeol speechless.

How’d it turn out like this? Baekhyun why’re you torturing yourself? Why?

On the other side, Baekhyun who’s already in his room with door locked, crying his whole heart silently.

I’m sorry for being selfish Chanyeol.. I didn’t want us to be like this.. I only need one week Chanyeol then you can be free.. I’m so sorry for being selfish..

Baekhyun cried but suddenly he feel a sharp pain in his head. He couldn’t scream for Nameun help since Chanyeol is here.. he doesn’t want Chanyeol to find out about this thing. While holding his head, enduring the extremely pain, he take a bottle of pill inside his drawer and swallow the pills but the pain won’t go away. He start to cry silently until his world becomes dark.
