Baekhyun ended up staying a total of three nights with Chanyeol and it stirred a lot of reactions from everyone. For example from Chanyeol's friends they said that it was a cute but dangerous move because Chanyeol can't handle another "scandal" because it's just stressful, Minseok as his PR representative has a statement ready just in case.

When Chanyeol was on his late teens early twenties he slept around he enjoyed life... But after many scandals and rumours he just stopped going out and became this new person. Only cares about work. Everyone seems to have forgotten about it, maybe going to the United States for a while was a good move.

He was not sleeping around to get attention from his family or anyone, but because he enjoyed sex and to be honest sleeping around is not even the correct term. He slept with people just like anyone at his age. One thing that people were focusing on giving him hell was because his sleeping list only contained male. Not even one female. Gay... a label that this company was not ready to carry. Even though his family knows and are fine with it, Chanyeol must be careful because of the company reputation and market value.

Now regular young people accept it more but back then it was a whole scandal and shame, specially for the rich, well it's still a scandal for most people specially older people. Everyone knew Chanyeol would take over their corporation so people started a petition because they didn't want him to take over but well he did and he also kept his image as perfect as possible just to show that he deserves the place he is at.

Sehun loving it, seeing Baekhyun like that opening up a little makes his heart smile because he thinks that's the kick Baekhyun needs, don't get him wrong, if Baekhyun doesn't want it Sehun would never pressure him to do anything. He just wants to help his cousin who always helps him and takes care of him.

Kyungsoo was furious. He took his time to remind Baekhyun how dangerous it was to stay at stranger's house specially sick. What if Chanyeol had evil intentions? Who would protect him? This kid should be more careful.

Kyungsoo is just like a mother to them, ensuring that they are well fed, clean, safe, well behaved and dorms clean.

When Chanyeol arrived at the office after 3 days everyone was looking at him confused, specifically because he didn't look sick at all. He walked to the meeting room where he found people waiting for him.

"Good morning." Everyone stood up to bow as soon as Chanyeol walked in.

"Good morning, please prepare the presentation before Mr Zhang arrives." Chanyeol said as dry as possible.

Everyone on that meeting room aside from Jongdae, Minseok, Junmyeon and Yoora were dying to know why the CEO didn't show up to work for 3 days straight, but as expected Chanyeol didn't mention it.

When Mr Zhang arrived with his team the meeting started.

After the meeting Chanyeol invited Yixing and his PA to accompany him for a coffee on his office. Yes Chanyeol is trying his best to impress mr Zhang because this deal is important and mr Zhang is a nice person.

"Mr Zhang I would like to apologise for the inconvenience I caused by changing the meeting date. I understand that you are a very busy person and this inconvenience costed money but I garante that it won't happen again and I was the first time it happened." Chanyeol apologised and bowed.

"I was very surprised when I was informed that you requested to postpone the meeting. Might I know the reason if it's not too much to ask?" Yixing asked because he is just like everyone else, curious and loves gossip.

Chanyeol didn't want to answer but it's the least he could do, I mean this man lost millions due to this inconvenience.

"Unfortunately Baekhyun caught a really bad cold so I had to take care of him." Chanyeol explained.

"Oh this is bad, is he feeling better?" Mr Zhang asked.

"Thankfully yes, he returned to his dorm today." Chanyeol said.

Tao raised a brow because he smells something fishy. A couple of weeks ago he could bet his ass that this engagement was fake and they don't even know each other and he actually mentioned it to Yixing but he never listens to him, but now he feels something different, even Chanyeol himself feels different and looks different the entire energy around him is different. Something is going on and Tao knows it.

Tao wants to ask many questions but he can't. He looked at Jongdae and a light bulb light up on his head.

"Brother Chen, could you  show me the toilet please." Tao asked in Chinese.

"My pleasure." Jongdae said and asked the other to follow him.

"How long have you been working here?" Tao asked as if he was just trying to kill the silence.

"Oh, for a long time really, shortly after Chanyeol took over the ceo seat." Jongdae said remembering how his best friend was lost and begging for his help "And you? How love have you been working with Mr Zhang."

"Since I was 18 years old, we are close friends now..." Tao answered "You and Mr Park also are close friends right?"

"Best friends actually." Jongdae said laughing a little bit. "We attended the same university."

"That's unexpected... You know mr Park sends that image that he doesn't have friends and or a partner and many people think that as well... Why don't he announces his engagement?" Tao asked.

You are engaged with someone you allegedly love you should show off right?

"Chanyeol went through a lot brother Tao...You know people like us don't care if Chanyeol is gay or not but those old shareholders do, the society does. This move would be a suicide to his career and credibility really. He wants to work and show the world that he deserves that chair because of his hard work nor because of his blood. And being gay he has to prove himself time and time again Even though everyone thinks he is doing an amazing job now that they think he is straight, the same quality of work won't be enough once they find out he is gay. Being gay is like running a marathon of life just like we are doing but carrying a rock on his back... everything becomes harder, if you know what I mean. His private life entertained enough already." Jongdae explained not explain anything.

"What are you doing?" Lay asked noticing Tao too focused on his phone.

"Digging into Park Chanyeol's private life since the day he was born." Tao casually said.

"This is becoming an obsession." Lay said.

"His story doesn't make sense. According to brother Chen, Chanyeol is gay but it doesn't explain other fishy things." Tao complained.

"Love doesn't make sense! I feel their love." Lay said.

"That's why I'm your assistant. I see what you don't see." Tao said. "Are they going to the water town still right?"

"Yes, but you won't be there!" Lay said "If you go there I'm going to fire you..."

"As if you could... I challenge you to do it."

"Well WE are going to Japan during that weekend so yeah you won't be there spying on them." Lay said.

===
"Good morning Baekhyun." Chanyeol walked in "Can I have the four usuals please?"

"Good morning, right away." Baekhyun smiled at Chanyeol.

It's been two weeks since Baekhyun was sick so nobody is talking about it anymore and Mr Zhang went back to China so they feel more relaxed however the are very close to each other now, they become good friends.

"I played the game you recommended. It was great it's been so long since I played." Chanyeol started to tell Baekhyun about the game.

"I told you that you would love it! I almost failed my university exam because of that game!" Both Baekhyun and Chanyeol laughed.

"It would be funnier if it was not true." Baekhyun said. " My mother wanted to kill me."

"Hey, do you have to get your passport at your parents right?" Chanyeol asked.

While the couple was talking Chanyeol's friends arrived and took their usual table observing Chanyeol's interaction with Baekhyun.

"Yeah, I'm thinking about going there tonight after lecture and return tomorrow morning because of my dorm closing time." Baekhyun explained "Here's your order."

"Thank you." Chanyeol payed "If you want I can drive you there." Chanyeol said the reason why he started the conversation.

"Very kind of you but I don't want to bother you even more. You must be busy." Baekhyun said.

"Not busy at all. I'll wait for you at 8pm at the spot." Chanyeol said grabbed his order and joined his friends.

The spot is the place where Chanyeol parks his car to fetch or drop off Baekhyun so they don't catch unwanted attention. It's basically a residential area next to the campus. Baekhyun just walks there and Chanyeol is always there waiting for him.

Baekhyun sometimes wonder if Chanyeol has someone he likes because he often forgets little things on the car and if Chanyeol has a lover they must be pissed, at least he would.

"I'm happy today, can I have a bubble tea please no sugar my life is sweet enough." Sehun walked into the coffee shop with a dead looking Kyungsoo.

"And you Soo?" Baekhyun asked.

"I want my man but he is working on outstanding assignments now so a strong coffee would be enough." Kyungsoo said taking a table.

"You forced him to do it. Why are you complaining? Are you a fool?" Sehun said hiding behind Baekhyun before Kyungsoo lightening hands got him.

"This happy kid is always here." Chanyeol whispered before looking back at his phone.

"Yeah, he is pretty close to Baekhyun from what I observed." Minseok said.

"The short one dates the tall part-time worker. I heard him calling the shorty baby." Jongdae said.

"I think the happy kid likes Baekhyun or they are somn. I see them sometimes leaving EXO holding hands." Suho said. "Locked arms, hugging...and Baekhyun calls him baby! Oh and ..."

"WHAT?"Chanyeol said a little too loud so everyone looked at him "The stocks market."  He pretended to be talking about the stock market.

"Yeah I think the stock market is taken or soon to be taken." Suho said " Look at how the happy kid is hugging the stock market."

When Baekhyun gave Sehun his order Sehun hugged him while talking and Baekhyun didn't complain about it only touched the other's head smiling.

Honestly he is tired of explaining to Sehun that he shouldn't hug him while he is working but it's Sehun he obviously doesn't care Sehun doesn't even play the game by his rules... he plays his own game.

"Soo cheer up." Baekhyun said " Let me get you something sweet."

Chanyeol looked at Baekhyun smiling at Sehun and how close they obviously are.

"Are you sad? Don't be sad, it's the way you don't get your heart involved and avoid a scandal." Junmyeon said.

"Mind your department Junmyeon... If he gets into a scandal that's for me to solve so don't worry." Minseok said "I think you should ask him if he is dating if the answer is no or not yet or I don't know you make your move." Minseok advised him.

"This is stupid. You said yourself that Chanyeol shouldn't date for a long while." Junmyeon.

"It's been long enough." Minseok crossed his arms "Also we can't keep him caged forever because people don't like who he is dating or sleeping with... it's time to understand that love is not just between a man and a woman. Aish Suho mind your department."

"Chen say something." Junmyeon asked Jongdae.

"I stopped listening when you guys started the nonsense. This is something between Baekhyun and Chanyeol not departments, they are both adult enough to decide what they want to do or not." Jongdae said.

It's not like Junmyeon is against their love, no never... he is just worried about Chanyeol and his well-being.

"I'm going to get ready for my lecture. Are you coming Sehun?" Kyungsoo asked.

"Yeap." Sehun said grabbed his bubble tea ran to Baekhyun kissed his cheek and ran.

"DON'T FORGET YOUR BACKPACK BABY." Baekhyun reminded.

"Thank you! See you tonight! I love you." Sehun smiled and send Baekhyun finger hearts.

"Stop the bullshit and let's go!" Kyungsoo said dragging Sehun by the backpack.

Luhan must have promised something really nice to Sehun. Baekhyun is sure that the reason if his roommate happiness is his boyfriend Luhan.

It's great to see Sehun happy, he was getting worried about youngest health again.

On the other hand Chanyeol was slightly annoyed about what just happened. I mean PDA? What if someone else walked in? Okay he is annoyed and jealous but it's only is business.

"I can't believe you are falling in love Chanyeol!" Junmyeon whispered.

"So what? Are you going to say I'm not competent enough to be a CEO because I'm gay as well?" Chanyeol whispered annoyed. Not exactly annoyed with Junmyeon, he is just annoyed with what he just saw and popped at Junmyeon who was just playing with him like good friends.

"Don't be stupid! Are you trying to make me quit? If you don't trust me there's no point in working for you." Junmyeon said.

"Hyung sorry I'm just a bit frustrated with... the stock market... I was not planning on inviting that much and now I'm scared." Chanyeol apologised.

"You say that again about me and I'll leave you. You punk." Junmyeon said "I love you." He said a little loud and Baekhyun who was cleaning tables heard it.

Baekhyun didn't notice but the jealousy fire was burning inside him. No ordinary jealousy fire... So he does have feelings towards people romantic feelings towards people.
