~Park Baekhyun~ 

Napahawak ako sa ulo ko habang nag-iikot dito sa kitchen. Sumasakit nanaman yung ulo ko at pakiramdam ko, gumagalaw yung paligid. I think Chanyeol is right. That i am getting stressed and everything because of all the things that are happening now. Napa-iling ako at sakto namang bumukas yung pinto at pumasok ang isang staff. 

"Sir Baekhyun?" tawag nito sabay tingin sakin. "May naghahanap po sa inyo." 

I tensed. Paano kung si Yifan yun? Paano kung manggugulo siya ulit? 

"Who is it?" tanong ko at naglakad papunta sa pinto. 

"Huang Zi Tao daw po, Sir." sabi nung staff saka ngumiti ng maliit. "From the Happy Wedding magazine daw po." 

I sighed and nodded at her direction. I massaged my temple and shook my head, trying to shake the pain away. "Tell him i'm coming." i said. 

I walked to the comfort room and washed my face. Namumula din ako at para akong inaantok na ewan. Matapos mag-ayos ng sarili ay pinuntahan ko si Tao na kasalukuyang naka-upo at naghihintay sakin. 

"Baekhyun!" he exclaimed when he saw me. Tumayo siya saka ngumiti naman ako ng malaki pabalik. We shook hands and i sat in front of him. 

"Tao, what a surprise." i said with a grin. "What do you want to eat? I can ask the chef to cook a specialty for you." 

But Tao brushed me off with a smile. "I'm fine, Baekhyun. Hindi naman ako magtatagal." he said and grinned. "I just went here to deliver five copies of the magazine issue kung saan kayo nafeature. Please consider this as our gift and our way of saying 'Thank you'." 

With that, Tao grabbed something beside him. He pulled a small package and placed it over the table. It's wrapped in a blue gift wrapper and a big ribbon over it. I smiled at the sight. 

"You really don't have to wrap it up like this." i said and shook my head in amusement as i pulled the package closer. Sinimulan ko siyang buksan habang nakangiti parin si Tao ng malaki sa harapan ko. 

"I want to!" he said. "You're the cutest couple i ever interviewed! And i really want to make it this special." 

I nodded and pulled a copy. The magazine cover is a candid shot of Chanyeol and I. Chanyeol's arms are wrapped around my waist as we laugh and i can't remember what joke Chanyeol had murmured against my ear that moment. It was really pretty and we look so happy and perfect together.

"It's beautiful." i murmured as i traced Chanyeol's face on the cover. "Thank you, Tao." i looked at him and flashed a big smile. 

Tao nodded and grabbed a copy, too. "You look really happy, Baekhyun." he said as he smiled at the magazine. "When i interviewed the two of you, there's no ounce of lying in your eyes as you both answered the questions. You just looked so... in love." 

I grinned and nodded. "We are in love." i said. "And i am more than happy that Chanyeol is the kind of husband everyone would dream of." 

"I know." he whispered and he put the magazine back to the box. "I just hope i'll be as happy as you are in the future." then he grinned and shook his head. 

I frowned. "Why? You're still single?" i asked him. 

Tao shook his head. "It's just ironic, isn't it?" he asked as he gestured to the magazines. "I am a writer for a magazine who features happy and perfect couples like you and Chanyeol. And i... i  can't even take care of my own marriage." then he pulled his left hand up to show me his wedding ring. But he withdrew his hand immediately back to his lap.

"Tao... what do you mean?" i asked sadly as i looked into his eyes. "You know, you can tell me." 

"We're not happy, Baekhyun. We're not like you." he said and gave me a sad smile. "We just don't live together anymore. I think he's already happy with his new family. With a wife who could give him a child." 

I reached out for his hand and squeezed. "Oh, Tao." i sighed. "Don't be sad. I know you'll find someone who would love you and accept everything you could give him." 

Tao sighed and nodded with a smile. "Well i... I still love him." he whispered. "Very much." he said and he just sounds so sad that i suddenly feel guilty that i have such a perfect husband for me. I stood up and although my head is pounding with pain, i walked to him to give him a hug. 

"It'll be fine." i cooed as i rubbed his back. "You'll be happy. I know it." 

Tao nodded and i pulled back to see him smile. "Thank you, Baek." he said. "You're so kind." 

I gave him a smile before walking back to my chair. I was about to carry the box from the table when the world just started shaking and my vision started to get blurry. I stumbled and i heard Tao call my name. I tried to get a hold of the table but i suddenly felt so weak and tired. 

And when my back hit the floor, everything went gone.

~Park Chanyeol~

"Mae, tapos mo na ba yung papers for Mr. Wu Yifan?" i asked. "About terminating the contract?"  it's already a few minutes before lunch and i am ready to go to Baek. I'm sure he prepared food for the both of us.

Mae nodded and placed a folder over my table. "Yes Mr. President." she answered. 

"Good." i said as i checked the contains of the folder. Then suddenly, my phone started ringing and i grabbed it from the table. 

It's Chan Hyun. 

I tapped "Answer". 

"Yes, Chan?" i said. "I'm at work. What is it?" 

"It's Papa!" he said, his voice nervous. "Dad, you need to go here, at the hospital near the restaurant."

Napatayo ako agad at naglakad papunta sa pinto. "What happened?" I gestured for Mae to take care of everything for now and i pushed the door open and ran towards the parking lot. 

"He fainted." he said. "Andito si Min. Please, Dad. Bilisan mo." 

I hung up and when i reached the car, i started it immediately and drove away. 

After ten minutes, i am already at the hospital and i saw Min waiting for me at the entrance. "Min," i called and held her hand. "What happened, princess?" 

She yelped. "Dad! My hand!" she gasped and that's when i noticed her hand. Naka-bandage ito at mukhang namumula. Agad ko itong binitawan at nag-aalalang tumingin sakanya. 

I brushed her hair and gently took her hand. "Min... what happened to your hand?" i asked. "What did you do? Did you fall or something?" 

She looked down and bit her lip in nervousness. "I... I punched Seth." she whispered. "I punched him on the face." 

I gasped. "What? Bakit mo ginawa yun?" 

Baekkie looked up at me, tears starting to form in her eyes. "He said... he said he like me!" she exclaimed. "I didn't know what to do so i punched his face!" then she started sobbing. 

I reached for her face and brushed her tears away. "Don't cry now, baby." i cooed and pulled her for a hug. Agad ko siyang binuhat at niyakap niya yung leeg ko habang umiiyak. I rubbed her back and whispered assuring words as i talk to the nurse at the counter, looking for Baek. 

"Dad!" Chan Hyun suddenly called and i walked up to him. 

"Where's your Papa?" i asked, nervous and everything. 

Chan led the way and we entered a room by the end of the hallway. The doctor is already there and Baekhyun lies awake on the bed. Nagulat din ako nang makita si Tao. Napatingin sakin yung doctor at si Baek. 

"Chanyeol..." Baekhyun called and i walked up to him and held his hand. Min is still sobbing over my shoulder and she won't let go of my neck. 

"Baek, what happened?" i whispered and pulled a chair to sit on. I leaned and kissed his forehead, making him sigh. 

"I don't know." Baekhyun whispered. "Bigla nalang akong nahimatay. The doctor is here so we should ask him." 

I looked at the doctor and he gave me a small smile. "Lumabas na lahat ng results ng tests na ginawa namin sa kanya." he said and pulled out a clipboard. "Baekhyun was stressed. Nasobrahan din siya sa pagtatrabaho at pag-iisip siguro. I guess, whatever problem you're undergoing now, mas mabuti kung hindi mo ito masyadong isipin." 

I sighed in relief and held Baekhyun's hand tighter. "I was so nervous." i murmured as i looked into his eyes. "Don't scare me like that, Baek." 

Baekhyun nodded and gave me an apologetic smile. He was about to say something when the doctor interrupted. He flipped the paper on the clipboard and looked at us with a bigger smile. 

"And congratulations. Your husband is pregnant."
