Chanyeol was driving to work when Baekhyun's blue hair got his attention, the roots were natural and long, making Chanyeol guess that he hasn't gone to the hairdresser since they broke up at least to dye his hair, he only cut the ends. Even this way he looks gorgeous.

He was smiling while cleaning the Exo window and having a conversation with his coworker.

It's been so long since he last saw Baekhyun, exactly one month and eight days. He looks healthy and lis cheeks look fuller.

Meanwhile he lost weight and is feeling awful, he can't even smile. His parents are worried about him.

It's been so long since he last saw Baekhyun, he wants to stop the car and run to hug Baekhyun but he knows he can't.

He arrived at the office underground car park and started talking to himself.

"Cmon Chanyeol, let's do this." He said to himself before leaving the car to enter the building.

"Good morning." He heard as he walked to his office, before he would've answered with a smile but not after his break up.

He opened the door for his office finding Yoora sitting on his chair.

"Noona?! What are you doing here?" Chanyeol asked confused as his sister was on parent leave as her do date is around the corner.

"Oh, baby bro!?" She acted surprised "just testing this chair. After giving birth I'll probably fight for this chair." She explained.

"What? Why?" Chanyeol asked confused.

"Because you are losing the capacity to sit here. You see, you used to be strong, your aura was one of the most powerful things I've could feel." Yoora turned the chair towards the window "you were suffocatingly strong and fearless when it came to business but you were kind to people working with you and it made working here fantastic but now you look pitiful, it won't be long until they no longer respect you."

"That's not true." Chanyeol had no words honestly.

"See? Chanyeol would argue with me to prove his point." Yoora said "I know what you are going through but Baekhyun gave you space to learn and grow to be the person you always wanted to be so be it and prove Baekhyun right. He as well is going through an hard time to let you grow and learn. So fucking grow and learn, bounce back Chanyeol. Be who you want to be because if you love Baekhyun you must know that he deserves the best and if you are not the best version of yourself why would he be with you?" Yoora explained "I'm pretty sure that Baekhyun also has his learning and growing to do before you guys get back together." Yoora faced Chanyeol again "Put your shit together and if in my next surprise visit you still look like a wet dog I'm going to request to take your place to the chairman." Yoora got up. "Love you. Yoora slowly left the office.

It's time to get my shit together.

===
Another month has passed and some people noticed that Chanyeol was slowly trying to get back on his fit making everyone proud of him and how hard he is trying. He has been reflecting a lot and he understood why Baekhyun left him.

He just wasn't someone Baekhyun could lean on and blindly trust. Their relationship lacked many things and Chanyeol nor Baekhyun had the capacity to understand at the time.

He is not blaming what happened on them equally, he after much reflection he understood that he made the move to destroy their castle of cards.

After work he got home and forced himself to eat something before washing up and going to sleep. He still hates the silence that Baekhyun left, he still feels like his apartment his way too big without Toben and Baekhyun and Baekhyun's smell us still impregnated into every corner of his apartment.

He has been spending more time at his parents house, something that he didn't like do before. He goes out after work with his friends once a week at least and he is back at playing basketball and working out. All of those things are making him feel less empty and helping him moving on.

Speaking of moving on, if moving on is not wanting that person back anymore, forgetting said person or cross them from your life, Chanyeol doesn't want to move on.

He moved in from his previous self, he moved in from the sadness he had before he met Baekhyun and after their broke up. He understood that he was a big part of why he couldn't be happy also he understood that Baekhyun was there to show him how happy he wanted to be. Today he understands that he can live without Baekhyun but honestly he doesn't want to. Why being happy without Baekhyun if he could be happy with him?

"Good morning everyone." Chanyeol walked into the meeting room after almost two months and his aura was different "I will be quick because I have an important meeting today... Hyung please the list" he asked Jongdae " I'm here to inform that we are cutting ALL business ties with all those companies. As a person I can't work with companies who are... like that."

"See? That's why we didn't want you as CEO, because of your condition you are making bad decisions." One of them said "You need to marry a woman so you..."

"I will not allow you or anyone to try to bully me and if are not happy nobody is holding you." Chanyeol got up and walked to the door opening "Actually it would be a pleasure." He waited a minute "Can we continue now?" He went back to his chair leaving the door open "Before we get back I would like to remind you that I'm the CEO, not a child that you can punk because you have gray hair... I will not tolerate disrespect towards me. I don't care if it's you sitting on that chair or someone else so if you are not happy you know what to do. Also if you are trying to make me leave you will leave first." Chanyeol said seriously "The reason why we decided to end business relationship with those companies is because we are a company made for everyone. We don't discriminate our customers so we shouldn't work with people who do. I want our customers to feel represented by us and feel like we are on their side."

While some people were boycotting his company, other people were supporting them but he didn't see it as he was too focussed on the hate.

"Also I'm informing you about that not asking opinions. Whoever is not happy can complain to the chairman." Chanyeol said angry.

Meanwhile Baekhyun is doing much better, not all his friends know about his pregnancy, the fase of feeling bullied by life is gone and he is trying to handle stuff maturely as he is going to be a father soon, he stopped covering his face and walks confidently.

Slowly he is becoming the his active and talkative self that everyone knows.

He refuse several dates as he doesn't want to date anymore now. At first it was because he thought everyone was like Chanyeol but after some time he understood that he just didn't want to date and he shouldn't push himself into doing things he doesn't want to do as he wouldn't enjoy. It's stupid as he learnt that sentence from his ex boyfriend.

He is still trying to come into terms with telling or not Chanyeol about the pregnancy but he is avoiding thinking about it as stress is not good for his pregnancy.

Even though he still has an hard time with his morning sickness, his body feels great, Kyungsoo personality prepares healthy and balanced meals to Baekhyun and Sehun makes sure that he takes his vitamins and Jongin takes good care of him at work.

His bump is not visible with his loose clothes on but once he takes it off his friends go crazy rubbing it and talking to it. 

He feels like he has control over his life again and he loves it, actually he controls more than ever.

Later that day Yixing opened the door of the restaurant where Chanyeol was already waiting for him.

"Chanyeol." Yixing said smiling. "I'm sorry I got lost without Tao." Bought laughed.

"I thought he drove you here." Chanyeol laughed.

"He did but I got the wrong entrance." Both laughed.

That's exactly what Chanyeol needed.

Both had lunch talking about random things and laughed a lot, it was like a therapy for Chanyeol. They didn't talk about business at all. It was like old friends meeting after a long time just to catch up.

"So, how are you?" Yixing asked using a more serious tone.

"I've seen better days I guess but I'm doing fine." Chanyeol smiled to his new friend knowing what he wanted to ask.

"And looking forewords to have those better days again right?" Yixing touched Chanyeol's hand.

"Yes, and working towards it." Chanyeol smiled thanking Yixing.

"Have...have you seen him at all or talked to him?" Yixing asked even though Chanyeol never told him that they broke up.

"How do you know that we broke up?" Chanyeol asked.

"The train wreck that was your life after that chaotic press conference and the fact that you were not at the office for two weeks and that you looked like life was beating you up 24/7 gave it away." Yixing said smiling.

"Ya, stop smiling it was difficult." Chanyeol laughed remembering how messy everything was after that. "Now give me props for bouncing back."

"You had no choice, Minseok hyung would beat you up if you didn't." Yixing mocked him. "You should try to see him so he knows that you are doing better and getting ready to be his again."

"I see him sometimes while I'm going to work and he looks like he is going amazingly well, he even got some cheeks." Chanyeol smiled "I'm afraid to talk to him and find out that he realised that life is better without me because I only wracked havic his simple life." Chanyeol looked sad.

"I don't think that's the case, I think he is also working hard to be yours again." Yixing gave his opinion "fighting. Let's walk to the office."

As it was Chanyeol's restaurant Yixing insisted on paying and ended up paying even though everyone said it was not necessary.

"From time to time you should walk outside and get some fresh air." Yixing suggested.

"That's what you do?" Chanyeol asked while walking slowly with Yixing.

"Nah, Tao says that I should." Both laughed.

"Sorry if I can't walk faster!" Chanyeol's heart skipped a beat when he heard the voice thing he adores.

Baekhyun was being dragged by Sehun out of EXO.

"You can't be late for the doctors appointment..." Sehun said.

Is Baekhyun sick?

"Oh Baekhyun!" Yixing said smiling and Baekhyun turned around to see who was calling him.

Gorgeous.

"Oh Mr Zhang." Baekhyun said a little stunned but he got a little confused to see Chanyeol there.

Baekhyun's heart sank, it's been so long since he last saw or heard about Chanyeol.

Baekhyun didn't know what to do or say from that moment on.

"Long time no see." Yixing smiled "I heard a mention of a doctor are you sick? Sorry to be nosy."

"Oh no, hmm..." Baekhyun said "I'm very healthy..." he doesn't have an excuse for why is he going to the doctor. "OH YES... I mean.., im accompanying Sehun. Sehun tell mr Zhang why are we going to see the doctor." Baekhyun kicked the ball to Sehun.

"Oh I... I hurt myself so I gotta see the doctor regularly." Sehun said.

"Oh get well soon. See you around Baekhyun." Yixing said and after some polite bows Sehun and Baekhyun left to the appointment.

Chanyeol smiled thinking about how close he was from Baekhyun. He was wearing casual loose clothes his hair still had overgrown roots, his lips were so pink just like his round cheeks. He wishes he could hug and apologise.

"Give time some time." Chanyeol said to himself.

==

Chanyeol was walking around the hospital while waiting for his sister and niece to take them home when he saw a familiar blue hair leaving the doctor's office holding hands with his friend.

It's been two weeks since he last saw Baekhyun with Yixing.

"We should start to come up with names." Baekhyun said and Kyungsoo agreed.

"Sehun and Kai must be going crazy let's send them the pictures of the ultrasound." Kyungsoo said and Baekhyun smiled.

Who is pregnant?
