Baekhyun's POV
A couple days later

"Come on kyungie please" I pleaded over the phone. I was taking Luhan to the mall today and I wanted Kyungsoo to tag along. They hadn't met yet and my best friend had to get to know my little doll.

"I told you I can't, the client I had last night, you know the one who got kicked out, he practically murdered me, I have bruises everywhere, I can't feel my legs and Taemin still wants me in for work tonight"

My eyes widened as I hit the car's steering wheel "Is he crazy!? You could have been seriously hurt yesterday and he wants you to come in for work!" I yelled through the phone.

Kyungsoo sighed "Baek calm down, all I'm gonna do is wait tables today, if someone tries anything you already know what happens, my street name is little devil for a reason"

I laughed remembering the name he had taken on, It's even on his name tag. "I know I know but you know how crazy the weekends are, I can only worry so much, I think I'm starting to get gray hairs" I joked.

Kyungsoo scoffed over the phone "If it's anyone getting gray hairs it's me Mr. I'm fucking the principle"

"Honestly I wish I never told Taemin to let him be my client, first his dick the size of a 15-year-old, second he's into the sickest fetishes and third how am I gonna tell Luhan I'm fucking his dad? Doesn't sound like something you'd wanna here from your only friend"

"Is this the part where I'm supposed to say I told you so cause if it is, I told you so" I could feel the presence of his grin.

"Ugh whatever stop being such a mom, I'll see you tonight alright?"

Kyungsoo hummed "Alright, be safe and tell Luhan I'm sorry we couldn't meet today, maybe I'll make him a boxed lunch or something"

"Oooh! Make me one too!" I cheered.

Kyungsoo was basically a mom to me. He cooked me boxed lunches when I didn't feel like buying lunch, he gives me rides when I don't feel like driving and he helps me when I can't decide on what to wear.

He was truly my best friend, even if I do get on his nerves. Adding Luhan to the group is honestly what we need.

I heard chatter on the other side of the phone then I heard Kyungsoo groan "Alright I really gotta go, I swear my mom is the reincarnation of the devil, why can't she fuck her own husband!?"

I sighed "I still can't believe she makes you do that, money is a horrible thing" Kyungsoo huffed "I just tell myself the only reason she has money is cause I can fuck her husband better than she can"

"Well stay safe, I'll see you at work" I wanted to end the call "Kay, bye" and with that, he hung up. You'd never think Kyungsoo is in the situation he's in. When he told me it made my backstory seem basic. Some parents are just monsters.

I honked my horn looking at the house I was parked in front of. It was fairly large, more like a mini mansion. Principal Bao was loaded and since I was fucking him I decided to try to milk him dry or at least make him regret ever giving me an account under his name.

The glass door opened revealing Luhan. He was waving his hand back like he was hurrying someone to walk out of the house.

Then after a few seconds, a little boy no older than 3 came tumbling out. He was making grabby hands and Luhan picked him up kissing him on the cheek.

After that he quickly made his way to the car opening the door and sitting the boy in his lap "Sorry I'm late, my dad didn't know I was meeting with you today, you're the first person he's ever trusted me with"

I gave him a keen smile "Me and principal Bao have met a couple times, he's a cool guy I bet he's an awesome dad"

Luhan's smile faltered a bit before making a big bright smile again "Yeah I guess he is"

I felt a stare coming my way only to see the little boy in his arms staring straight at me. Then he turned to Luhan "Mama friend pretty pretty"

I cooed at the little boy "And who is this adorable little guy" I squeezed his puffy cheeks.

He squealed and clapped his hands "Xing-fu!!! Oh Xing-fu!!" He cheered.

I listened to him say his name over and over until I caught that instead of saying Lu Xing-fu he said Oh Xing-fu.

I looked to Luhan "Sehun never told me he had a kid" Luhan gave me a sad smile "He actually doesn't, it's a long story I'll explain later"

I nodded my head "I respect that, but we are so gonna have secret time one day, maybe at a sleepover or something"

He laughed "You're so open I think I'd end up telling you secrets the whole time"

"You'd be surprised" I muttered "I'm a Pandora' s box the size of a black hole"

Time skip - at the mall

"OMG LOOK AT ALL THESE NEW FALL LINES!!!" I screamed at a sign listing stores with new clothing lines.

I turned to Luhan smiling from ear to ear "We are gonna make you fabulous!!!" he gave me a worried face "Please Baek I don't want you to spend all your money on me"

I shook my head "Don't worry I'm not, Don't think I'm gonna come to the mall and not buy me anything" I chuckled to myself "Plus, you are so letting me buy something for little XingXing" 

Luhan smiled "XingXing? It's cute, I like it" and with that, we headed to our first destination, the hair salon. 

"Hey Tiff!" I said as we entered the salon. "Baek!!" She screamed pulling me in a big hug "What you need? Want a new hair color?"

I shook my head "I think I'm gonna stay with this silver blonde for a while" I patted Luhan on the shoulder "This is LuHan, he's new so I wanted to give him a fresh look"

He bowed and told Xing-fu to bow "Hi, it's nice to meet you," He said softly and Tiffany cooed "Aww they're both so cute! Come on sit down I know just the perfect color!" She took Luhan away leaving me with Xing-fu.

Tiffany had LuHan in her chair and quickly started doing his hair while talking non-stop. I sat down with Xing-fu and played till they were finished.

"XingXing, do you think mama is pretty?" I asked and he made a big smile "Mama is really pretty, Mama looks pretty for grandpa"

I raised my eyebrows. For grandpa? "Why does mama look pretty for grandpa?" I played through his hair. "Grandpa take mama away and when mama come back mama is crying" He revealed. What the actual fuck? The hell is Bao doing to him? Somethings up

"Thank you for telling pretty hyung, and whenever mama cries make sure to give him a big hug okay?" he nodded his head "I promise"

Tiffany caught my attention "Drum roll please" and Xing-Fu and I both started to beat on the table. She went to the back and brought out Luhan "Ta-da!"

Luhan's hair was a mint blue with hints of blonde for saturation. His head was down and he blushed saying "H-how does it look?"

I smiled "You look H.O.T,  all eyes will be on you" Tiffany sighed "I remember when you first came here Baek, your buddy here kinda reminds me of you" and my eyes cast down as I remembered that time. I was so sweet, so innocent and love just ruined every part of me.

"Baek?" I heard Tiffany call out. Luhan and she were giving me concerned looks. "Sorry I spaced out for a sec, let's get going shall we?" 

Luhan scurried over to me and picked up Xing before turning around and thanking Tiffany again.

"This is my favorite part of going to the mall" I cheered and Luhan asked, "What's that?"

"Shopping!!!"

*insert clothing montage*

"Ugh, all that shopping has me hungry, want a bite to eat?" I asked Luhan. He nodded his head "Yeah, I'm starving"

Xing-fu was sleeping on his shoulder as we both carried our bags (lost count after the 10th store) to a table. "You sit here with XingXing, you cool with pizza?"

"Yeah pizza's fine," He said tiredly. I walked away to one of the many food choices in the court. This place had some of the best pizza, he just had to try this. I went up to the counter and looked at the choices only to stick with pepperoni.

"Can I get a medium pepperoni pizza and 3 waters?" I ask the woman behind the counter. She nods and heads to the big heater grabbing out a box and then goes to the cooler and takes out 3 waters. I hand her my card and she swipes telling me thank you before I walk away with pizza in hand.

I walk to the table to see someone talking to Luhan. I get closer and I see it's a face I recognize. A face I didn't want to recognize. A face I wanted to forget. It was Daehyun.

I rushed over putting the food down and turning to the two. Daehyun looked at me and for a second looked wide eyed before smirking. That stupid smirk. "Well Luhan, you didn't tell me you had such a pretty friend" his voice was deep, smooth, vexing. 

"Oh, u-um, this is Baekhyun h-he's been nothing but kind" Luhan stuttered as usual. Daehyun nodded"Oh I know, we've met in the past"

I scoffed "Well Luhan how do you know Daehyun?" Pain flashed in his eyes and then they drifted to Daehyun "He's....He's um......" Luhan struggled with his words.

"I'm Xing-fu's father" He boomed and Luhan cowered while I stood wide-eyed.

I chuckled "Wow, really? Daehyun never told me he had a son out there" 

Luhan cleared his throat trying to change the subject "How did you two meet?" 

"This son of a bitch is my ex," I said bitterly "Didn't know as soon as he broke up with me he knocked up someone else" Luhan tensed up.

Daehyun tsked "Oh no, don't try to put the blame all on me, you broke my heart too" his eyes were piercing "Fucked my best friend, my right-hand man, in my own bed"

  "D-Dae, t-thats not ni-" Daehyun raised his hand making Luhan shut up immediately "What did I say about interrupting me?" and Luhan lowered his head.

He scoffed "Once a slut always a slut, right?" He looked at me "But then again it's my fault for dating a prostitute, isn't it?"

Daehyun backed away "Tell Xing daddy said hi" and then he walked away. 

Tears were daring to come out of my eyes but I wouldn't let them. Why cry over lies. Everything he said wasn't true so why does it still hurt?

Why do I still hurt?
