A moment to reflect
Two weeks later,
Chanyeol sits at his desk with his head leaning against the glossy white surface, to say he was having a bad day would be a understatement. The wealthy socialite that he is representing in a bitter divorce, the one who just left his office has become ever more desperate for him to notice her. At first he was flattered about the extra attention he politely declined, Chanyeol let's out a sigh his client is a gorgeous lady he is just not attracted to her at least not like she wants. He also would be blind to not notice how his client was not so subtly asking about his connections and net worth, making it clear she was looking for her next bank account more then anything else! Even if he were interested, it would severely break the no dating clients policy both he and Jongdae insisted on when they started their practice!
Chanyeol lifts his head and turns to the view of namsan tower, it's such a contrasting difference to see green hills rather then the concrete jungle his former office looked out too. Chanyeol watches as the clouds move fluidly through the sky, the different view always makes him think back to the worts time of his life! Well thats before his life did a complete 180 turn for the better, Chanyeol shakes his head as the seared painful images of what he thought were the happiest time appear before him.
Those memories of a happier times mostly include ones of dinner dates, walks along the river, buying their first apartment here in Seoul, morph to the soul destroying images of catching Adam on his knees giving Kris a blow job in what was his own home office! Chanyeol remembers the shock on both men's faces at being caught in the act! He closes his eyes in desperate frustration to forgot the swift fallout that followed, that awful discovery. Adam had tried to beg forgiveness, at first pleading that he was addicted to that bad boy vibe Kris had. Chanyeol had been heart broken to discover the man he loved, found him " so vanilla" it hurt like hell he soon realised he couldn't trust the man he had once loved. Chanyeol remembers how he had always idolised the super model even before they dated, their relationship was like a fairy tale, Adam had originally pursued him, when Chanyeol was interning at American law firm that represented Adams modelling agency! It was Adam who started to turn up at his office, sent outrageous gifts, splurged in the first expensive dinners, they soon started dating as both their careers grew so did their love, or so Chanyeol thought, the stabbing pain in his heart reminds him how wrong he was.
Thats the kicker in Chanyeol's heart yes they were together for 10 years, were even planning their wedding, he was the one to propose. He proposed to Adam on a birthday holiday to Fiji, under the starlight sky on a luxury holiday that he paid in full for! Chanyeol did his own soul searching when he discovered the affair, at the advise of both his Mother and Sehun, he booked in to a retreat where he realised he always made the sacrifices, always changed his schedule to fit around the models vast schedule, made excuses to his parents when Adam didn't turn up for family functions. His heart smashed in to pieces when when his fiancé admitted he felt more attracted Kris. When he returned he couldn't even face Adam, perhaps it was cowardly the way he waited for Adam to be on a photoshoot, before picking up his stuff and leaving a delighted Sehun to evict Adam from the house that was solely in Chanyeol's name. Adam had them morphed in to this vindictive vile human, Adam didn't like that he was given 2 days to leave the house, he made sure Chanyeol know it , Adam left some rather unpleasant words on Chanyeol's phone, smashed up the flat save for a single TV that he had left playing a recording of him and Kris going at it like rabbits.
Chanyeol wouldn't even be surprised if Adam is behind the updates from ABC, he knows Sehun has a plan in place and means well when he continues to advise him to stay quiet regarding the daily updates. Its the same advice he gets from his father regarding the broadcasting company, the same could not be said for his fathers attitude towards Adam. Chanyeol isn't surprised, he knows it's his parents and their influence that have forced several of the luxury brands to drop Adam as their model and ambassador, the biggest accounts among the many to drop Adam include Prada, Dr Jart, Dior and Samsung to name but a few amongst the many contracts the model has. Chanyeol wants to believe that Adam isn't so desperate for fame that he had to stoop so low after their bow very public break up. Chanyeol smiles for the first time today as he knows if the defamations continue his father has a further plan of retribution in place especially if it is confirmed that Adam is selling information.
A different much nicer image flashes before his eyes, one of a petite red haired, flawless fair skinned male. Chanyeol smiles he hasn't been able to stop thinking about the blue eyed angel from cafe paradise, the skittish little kitten fled back to the kitchen as soon as he saw how close he was. The beauties complexion had if possible become even paler when he realised that Chanyeol had seen his entire signed conversation! Leaving him to stand gaping after him, Chanyeol had rather embarrassedly gone red himself when he caught the concerned eyes of Luhan. It was like he had been caught with his hand in the cookie jar, a situation he made infinitely more awkward by simply returning to his table to the roaring ribs of both Sehun and Jongdae.
Since that day two weeks ago he has been back to cafe paradise at least 5 times, his brain tells him it's for the the exceptional coffee, the butterflies in his stomach tell him it's for a glimpse of the young redhead. Sadly on each visit to the coffee shop said red haired angel has been no where to be seen, the lady he saw on his first visit was there every time. Much to his surprise this morning on what was his sixth visit, she gave him a free box of danishes, complete with a knowing smile. Chanyeol scrambles to turn back around he had almost forgotten about the danishes. He instantly finds the flamingo pink box atop his paperwork, his mouth is already salivating at the thought of eating one of those matcha croissants, work out be damned he is going to enjoy the mix of sweet and savoury flakey goodness! Chanyeol almost moans, now he knows why café paradise is so popular, it's all down to the tart sweet and savoury pastries, he makes a mental note as he will definitely have to hit the gym harder tonight! About to turn to his computer to do some work he notices the Hangeul neatly written in gold on the lid of the box! I know the reason you have been coming to our café, Baekhyun is the name of the red head you saw two weeks ago, and I know you are looking for him. He too has the same expression, every shift he works when he doesn't see you. You will find Baekhyun in the café on Tuesdays through to Fridays he works from 4pm to 7pm.
Chanyeol looks desperately around for his phone seeing the time is almost 3pm, he quickly fires off an email to Jongdae saying he is leaving now not mentioning that the cute red head finally has a name. As he flies out of his office determined he feels those elusive butterflies again, he isn't sure what it is all he knows is he is determined to finally communicate with the shy little angel.
