The choreographer stopped the choreo and took off his cap with a groan before throwing it to the floor. "You, Byun. Step out!" he yelled and Baekhyun gulped hard as he moved to the front. The young male had been called out for the third time that day.

"The hell is wrong with you! My 60-year-old mother can dance way better than you and you've been like this for too long." The blond male flinched at the man's loud voice as he bowed his head again apologizing.

Kai and Sehun pitied the male since they knew the reason while Chanyeol tried to maintain a stoic face. The two had avoided any eye contact and acted as strangers who had never met before. The air around them felt almost suffocating.

"I'm sorry, I'll try harder, Sir," Baekhyun voiced out his gaze never leaving the ground. "No, you don't have to cause you're out!" the choreographer deadpanned and pointed to the door. The blond looked at the male in shock and shook his head, "What? No! Please, I'll work harder," the choreographer shook his head and pushed the male out before going on with their practice.

With tears escaping his eyes he walked up to his dorm while the other members pitied the young male who was nothing but optimistic and kind with everyone.

Holding the first ever picture of little bean, the younger cried holding his knees close to his chest.

Few hours passed and Baekhyun found himself sitting on the roof, head rested on his knees. "I really wanted to do it, baby but the guy's a meanie, right? How can he just scream at someone like that," Baekhyun mumbled to himself pretending as if he were talking to his baby while his hand gently stroked his tummy. "No matter what, I'll always love you, okay?" he smiled to himself.

"Hey, mind if we give you a little company?" Sehun's voice startled the young male. The platinum blond turned and flashed a soft smile to Kai and Sehun as the two walked over and sat beside him. No matter what he and Chanyeol had gone through, the trio were still good friends. "You doing okay?" asked Sehun and Baekhyun nodded with a smile.

"Need a drink?" Baekhyun chuckled at Sehun. "I can't drink," said the younger making Sehun snort. "Oh, I know that. I bought fresh juice for you," Kai stood up arguing that it was him who had bought it. Baekhyun started sipping on his drink laughing at the two who continued their little quarrel.

"You better stay away from the choreographer. He looked pretty mad today," said Kai and Baekhyun nodded. It was true, the choreographer was extremely angry since he had to replace Baekhyun and teach them the tricky parts but he had no patience.

From the bitterness and frustration he held, he told about the event to someone he should not have. Lee Sooman, the CEO of SM Entertainment.

And that was why Baekhyun found himself in the CEO's office the next day. "I've been hearing too many complaints on you, kid," said Lee Sooman as he tapped his pen on the desk with a glared fixed on the younger, "You have got the looks and everything but I don't want someone being sick and dragging down everyone."

"I'm really sorry, I'm just not doing so well these past few days. I think it's the weather but I'll be okay in no time and I will do my best, Sir," he assured the man, the hopeful smile never leaving his lips.

Sooman sighed. "I'm sorry but you're lacking too much and I've decided to let you go, kid. You can go pack up," Baekhyun fell on his knees as tears slipped down his cheeks. The CEO sighed telling the other to get up but the younger shook his head. "Please don't do this to me. I'll do my best, I swear. Just one more opportunity, Sir," he implored but to no avail as he was sent out of the room.

Outside the door, Chanyeol felt his heart clench hearing Baekhyun's pitiful pleas tears dropping down his cheek as he kept wiping them off.

Sehun and Kai helped Baekhyun move in with Luhan since the male had neither any place nor any other friends or family in Seoul. The blond had apologized countless times for burdening Luhan but the Chinese man was on cloud nine for having gotten a roommate after five years of living alone. Since Baekhyun felt bad about living for free, he offered to work with Luhan in his cafe, something he did with his mother.

It was months later, a weekend and Baekhyun was about six months in almost seven. He and Luhan had called Kyungsoo over and the trio was happily chatting, the TV long forgotten. But a certain name had the expecting turn his head with intent. Park Chanyeol.

It was a piece of news about how Chanyeol had been caught coming out of a baby shop with a shopping bag in his hand. Despite the mask and cap, the hawk-eyed fans had managed to spot the rapper. There was speculation about how the rapper had been reportedly friendly with one of the girl group trainees.

Baekhyun excused himself to go to his room before the other two could tell him that there was no girl there. For the past few months, the two couples had been trying to keep the younger away from anything related to Chanyeol. Baekhyun was curious about his ex-lover but he knew that it would be the best for everyone if they moved on.

Several emotions ran around Baekhyun's head as he went to sleep that night with red eyes and tear-stained cheeks. Luhan and Kyungsoo sighed sadly as they tucked in the younger warm and nice under the covers.

The next morning, he was met with silence as he walked down.

Luhan had put up a post-it saying that he could have a day off and Baekhyun mentally thanked his friend before fixing himself some cereal. He poured himself a glass of orange juice and sat down. "Good morning to you too, baby," he happily giggled feeling the fetus kick and move around. With one hand rubbing his tummy, he continued to eat in silence though he was not a fan of eating alone.

Just as he stood up to place the dishes in the sink, the bell rang. They never had guests over, except for Sehun, Kai or Kyungsoo and none of them ever had to ring the bell since they all knew the code. Narrowing his eyes, he waddled to the front door. He looked through the peephole but found none.

As he turned to leave, the bell rang again. A groan left his lips as he opened the door yelling a what. There was no one but found a shopping bag at the footstep. Baekhyun bent a little, his fading blond strands falling on his eyes. He looked around trying to find whoever it was but to no avail.

He walked in and sat on the couch before opening the bag since it had his name on it. On opening it, his eyes watered up. The bag contained a little smurf plushy along with a few onesies, a few mittens and tiny socks. He settled it down before running over to the front door.

"Yeol? If you're here then thanks for the present," he said and stroked the soft expanse of his tummy feeling the tiny flutters. "Jelly Bean thanks you too," Baekhyun smiled and looked around once before walking back in to admire the tiny things.

Unknown to him, Chanyeol smiled from behind the bush as he adjusted his cap and went back to his car which was parked a little away.

Baekhyun had a little smile playing on his lips as he admired the first set of presents that his baby had gotten and it made him happier knowing that it was from his Baby Daddy.

Later that evening, Luhan was still out and the expecting one lazed around and settled with watching news.

There he saw in the news about Chanyeol being caught with a shorter guy a few months ago and that fans speculate that the rapper had been in a relationship with the mystery male and that he was shopping for their baby. When he went online there was even more news.

There were blurry images and he was quick to recognize that it was indeed them. Baekhyun gulped seeing that some of the fans were pointing out that one of the trainees looked like the short man in the images.

Baekhyun paled. He felt lost. He thought that he will have to leave if he wants to keep Chanyeol and his baby safe from everyone. Chanyeol would be in big trouble with the agency if the news were to be confirmed and his baby would be the target of every fan.

Wiping his tears, he packed his stuff and called Yoona informing her that he would be coming there to stay with her for a little while. The lady was happy that he would be staying with her but asked him the reason and asked if things were alright between him and Chanyeol but the blond replied that he would explain things to her once he gets there.

The dirty blonde put up a post-it on the door before locking the door and walking to the terminal. As he waited for the bus, he could not help but stare at the picture of SKY in front of him on the huge billboard.

A small smile played on his lips as he took in the picture of his ex-lover who never failed to look handsome. "Bye, Yeol," he muttered out as if the brunet was in front of him. A lonely tear slipped down his red cheeks and he was quick to wipe it off.

Just as he got on the bus, his phone lit up notifying a message. When he settled in the last seat, he unlocked his phone only to be met with a lot of malicious and ugly threats from the SKY fans. Everyone had figured out that it was Byun Baekhyun, the trainee, indeed and were targeting their hate towards him.

There were threats of how he should be butchered for seducing their idol. Some talked of how trashy he was to use their idol to get into that agency. Some fans had even dug up about his past and tears flowed down his cheek seeing some comments calling him an orphan.

He slapped a palm over his mouth on seeing a picture of him which had been taken just now as he was walking from Luhan's apartment. He was being followed and he covered his face with a beanie and a mask not wanting to attract any attention on the bus.
