No one's POV

A week already passed since Baekhyun and the kids returned to Seoul. But they haven't visited his parents yet. Every time he asks his kids if they want to visit their grandparents, Yeol would run inside their room and cry non-stop. He would beg him to not to go there yet and get more agitated as the passing days go by. Baekhyun would hug him tight while the little boy kept crying. Now Baekhyun works at home and kept making excuses for the time being. He also take Yeol to a therapist to find out what's really happening to his son. The therapist told him that Yeol suffered emotional breakdown when he heard of his father looking for them. The child needs to learn and understand the new occurrence in their situation, since he had been keeping such secret for years. The balanced life that Yeol kept in secrecy to be able to face his life as Baekhyun's son was shaken by the occurrence of his most hated father who abandoned them and it left the boy deeply devastated. Baekhyun is his anchor and must continue showering them with love and attention. He must also respect if the children wants some privacy for now. Especially Yeol. He wants his kids to feel safe and happy. He plans on talking to them again once they are ready. For the meantime, he just assured his parents by calling them once a day. Telling them their grandkids are fine. He promised them that as soon as Yeol is ready and the therapist give him the okay sign, he will take them for a visit.

Over their conversation on the phone, his parents told him the truth about Chanyeol being at their home bearing gifts for the twins, waiting for them that day he called and that the taller was able to hear their conversation since they put the phone on speaker. Said he can even hear Yeol crying on the background as well as his daughter's calming words. They told him how hurt and disappointed the taller looked and felt when they cancelled the visit. But promised to come back if and when Baekhyun and the kids visit. They dare not give his address to Chanyeol because they knew how Baekhyun would feel about his privacy. So he left feeling very down that day.

Baekhyun felt sorry for the giant. To be honest, when his mom told him Chanyeol was at their residence, waiting for him and the children he felt a little bit of excitement. Just like last time, a few years ago when he tried calling Chanyeol after the twin's 1st birthday but was not able to talk with him because his PA told him that Chanyeol didn't want to talk to him ever. He misses him so much. Everyday, is like the same. He never forget his giant. He loved the man so much. And even though he still don't know how he'd react once they get face to face with each other, he still wanted to see him personally. He still want to talk to him even for a minute or two. That's how much he misses the taller.  Call him idiot or dumb but that's how he really feel. Even if loving the man doesn't mean they could be together he'd keep on doing so. He knew how the giant feels toward him. Knew that he's not the real reason why the taller was there. Maybe Chanyeol just want to get to know his kids since he just recently found out about them. And that's why he was at his parents' house. He would love for them to meet at last. But he must also put his kids mental and emotional well-being first. They must be ready to accept the fact that they do have another father. They must be willing to accept Chanyeol in their lives. It's what they deserve. The right to choose whether to accept their father or not. To allow him be a part of their lives. Yeol heard the whole conversation between him and all of his uncle. His son knew of his dad's abandonment of him even though the taller is unaware of his condition being pregnant that time. Still, for the twin's it's the same as abandoning them too.

He asked his dad if Chanyeol left a number where he can be contacted in case the twin is ready to meet him and his mom  gave it to him. She said she didn't gave his number when the taller asked for it coz she doesn't know what his reaction would be. And also she's still wary of the giant's intent. He thanked them and promised to drop by sometime once the kids are more settled.

He heard from Kai that Chanyeol went back to New York two days ago. The giant, still looking depressed. Kai said Chanyeol told him to look out for them while he was away. Said there's a lot he need to do before he comes back to Korea. When he heard of the taller's plan to permanently come back to Korea, Baekhyun can't help but feel a little hopeful. Hoping that his kids will be well looked after whatever happens. The pain in Baekhyun's chest at the thought of Chanyeol coming back to Korea is causing him immense pain making him clutch his chest, heaving a hard breathing. Time is running out. He need to make sure that everything will fall into its rightful place before it happens.

Chanyeol's POV

A week passed since I was at Baekhyun's house and heard the phone conversation between Baekhyun and his parents. What hurts me the most is the sound of my son crying in the background as he kept saying not to go to his grandparents house. I can also hear my daughter's soft calming voice telling her brother not to cry anymore. It's painful to hear them hurting because of me. I know how they feel. And I understand if they're not yet ready to see me. This was the result of my cowardice. My selfishness and pride in the past have caused a lot of heartbreak not only for Baekhyun, his family, my family and my friends but most of all, also to my unborn children back then. It's foolish to think that in just a snap they can forgive me.

I left their house feeling sorry for all of them. His parents didn't gave me his address but asked for my contact number instead. Yet because of my connections I was able to find them in Seoul. I went to their condo secretly so I can see them. I saw them walking out of the building, hands holding each other. The little boy beside him has a somber look on it while the girl on the other side is bubbly. Baekhyun still looks so beautiful yet his face looks haggard and filled with worry. My son Yeol is tall and looks just like a mini me while Chanhyun looks like Baekhyun. I felt my tears falling down my cheeks. I want to hug them so bad. I want to tell them how sorry I was and that I love them so much. But now is not the right time. I left Korea after that day but I hired a secret bodyguard and made sure to leave some protection for them so I can be sure that they're safe.

I've tried searching for Baekhyun's name on Instagram and other media sites but saw that most of it was on private settings. That means I can't see some of his photos. All I can see are his photos with his friends, parents and brother. I felt a bit disappointed to see that the uploaded photos are not the most recent. It's like it's been so many years since he visited these sites. I stood up to go back the studio and placed the phone in the table. I need to finish the recordings of my artists' songs before their comeback. Being a music producer, singer, actor and model is not easy. It's a lot of hard work and eats a lot of my time. I had to focus on the quality of the songs these artists release so it won't fall short to my expectations. I have to make sure that everything will run smoothly once I move my office back to Korea. I've already asked Sehun and Kai to look into some of the best real estate agent and find a good place or location to open another office branch of PCY in Korea. I tap the intercom to call in my secretary slash personal assistant.

"You call for me Chan?" asked Seo Ju Hyun. She has been my personal assistant back in the days when I was just an upcoming singer. I've trusted her with my secrets then. I even told her about how much I love Byun Baekhyun and how much I missed him. She helped me focus on my work then, constantly reminding me that I need to focus and do everything I can to become famous.

" Will you please call off the meeting with the new investors today? I really need to finish working for the post recording of SuperM's album. They will need another comeback while they're still hot on media. Have you also scheduled their guestings at Jimmy Kimmel and Ellen Degeneres talk shows? " I asked her while I rummaged through some mails on my table and continously checking emails on my laptop.

" Ahm, yes I already did. I'll call the new investors too. I'm sure they can all wait. Anything else? " she asked again but I absent-mindedly just nodded. She stayed there looking at me as if waiting for some more instructions. Her tight fitting dress hugging her body like second skin. But for me it was nothing to me. I know her feelings have for me have grown deeper over the years. But I told her already that I can't return her feelings. When I noticed her, standing still in front of my table I looked up and raised my brow.

" Well, ahm. How about lunch? Would you like me to order take out for us? It's been ages since we had lunch together. There's a new Korean restaurant that just opened and they do delivery." Seo Ju Hyun said smiling expectantly and stared at me, fluttering her eyes while waiting for my reply. But I declined and urged her to go on and eat her lunch. I noticed how she pursed her lips as if she's annoyed about something but when I asked she just said nothing and left the office with a sour face and closed the door a little harder than necessary.

I didn't put much thought to it. My mind is busy with work as I  scroll through emails. I have to put things in order soon. So I can go back to Korea, to Baekhyun and my children faster. I want to make everything right this time around. And my first step is to move my work back to Korea. So I can be near them. This time, I'll be there for them. I'll do everything for them to forgive me. I'll beg if I have to.

The days passed with board meetings, going to the studio to record a new song, writing new songs for SuperM's new album. And a few cancelled appearances for a fashion show in London. I did some photoshoot for Vogue magazine and a commercial with Peppero. My secretary walks beside me as she kept me updated with my full schedule for the month. She gave me the updates as I also give her some instructions. I already told her about my plans of moving back to Korea and gave her explicit instructions to cancel all of my other out of the country appearances for just this month. Though she vehemently called me crazy and even told me that I was throwing the best career I have over some petty reasons I just shrugged and didn't let her sway my decision. She even threatened to resign if I don't change my mind. But what threw me over the edge is when she called Baekhyun a whore and my children a big distraction and that they're completely destroying my life and career. That made me lose my temper and fire her on the spot. She left the office frightened and hurt. But I don't care!!!!
No one, nobody calls my family bad things and get away with it. Baekhyun and my children may have not yet forgiven me but I won't tolerate anyone hurting them with harsh words when they're actually the innocent victims here. I called and asked Minho to hire a new corporate secretary for me and find me a male personal assistant. I personally called Tommy Hilfiger's assistant to let him know that I'll be canceling my appearance on the show just for this once.

I left work early that night and went home. My head hurts from so much stress. The argument with Seon Ju Hyun gave me a huge headache. But at least I finally found the reason to fire her. After changing into a comfortable clothes I walk to the fridge and opened a bottle of beer. I sat on the couch to watch the news. When I heard my phone ring from the side table, I reached for it and automatically tap the call button without even  looking at it. When I heard the voice on the phone I almost threw up the beer on my mouth. I suddenly stood up my hands shaking not with fear but excitement.

" Yeoboseyo? Hello? Chanyeol? Are you still there???" the soft voice from the other end of the line asked me. I can hardly breathe, his voice making me shiver. I missed his voice. I realized just how much I missed him so much.
