"I got A in my major subjects."

Baekhyun said as he turned off the electric stove and held on the handle of the pan.

"Good job. I succeeded in buying the plot of land for the shopping center plan in Beijing."

Chanyeol said while yawning and stretched his arms. He was still in bed when his husband rang a call from Tokyo. Earning a chuckle from the other line, Chanyeol started his day with a smile.

"Breakfast done?" Chanyeol asked and turned his body around to take a look at the blank space beside him and then to the wall where their wedding photo frame existed.

"I just finished making breakfast."

Baekhyun brought the plate of a fried egg to the dining table and took a seat then held the fork beside the glass of milk.

"Don't eat instant noodles too often. Be careful when you cross the road, too. If you need money, you can ask me whenever."

"I know, Chanyeol. I may forget to do my assignments but I will always remember your words."

Baekhyun said and bit a mouthful of bread. He could hear Chanyeol's laughter but the truth that it was just through the connected phone line made him sad.

"When will you come here? It is the best time to watch cherry blossoms together."

Chanyeol heaved a sigh of burden and took the calendar on the bedside table. Almost everyday in the month was marked.

"Still no free days? Do you remember the last time we saw each other in person?"

"Last July."

"I am not asking you because I don't remember."

"I will make sure to come soon."

Baekhyun sighed and put down the fork as he immediately lost his appetite. It was almost a year that they did not see each other. Baekhyun was in his second year now.

"If you can't come, don't send Mr. Shim, too. I am so tired of seeing his face instead of yours."

The line dropped and Chanyeol was left with a loud sigh again. It was not only Baekhyun who was pining for him, but also Chanyeol. However, he could not do anything about his schedules since he also had to try to get the chairman title within next two years.

Chanyeol glanced at the clock and it showed 7:30 a.m. He still had some time before getting ready for work so he called Baekhyun again. The call went in but it then said busy.

Chanyeol sighed and sat on the bed.

"Arrghhhh!"

Chanyeol ruffled his hair and shouted out loud. He also missed his hubby seriously. So seriously that he could die.

+   +   +

"Mr. Shim," Chanyeol said and Mr. Shim looked at him with a questioning look.

"Can I clear the schedule for next two days or postpone it?"

Mr. Shim sighed and felt pity on the boy in front of him but at the same time, he wanted to laugh because at least once in a month, Chanyeol usually asked the same question and whenever Mr. Shim asked for the reason, it was always Baekhyun.

"Tomorrow at 11 a.m, we will have an important meeting for this spring project. And, at 2 p.m, we will have a lunch appointment with Mr. Kim. Then, at 6 p.m, we will have to attend the commemoration dinner for Mr. Lee's newly distributed brand."

A sigh automatically came out from Chanyeol.

"Also the day after tomorrow, we will-"

"Okay, I now understand that I cannot do anything about the schedule so please leave me alone for a minute."

"Yes, by the way, the meeting is starting in half an hour, CEO."

It was what Mr. Shim said before going out of the room. Chanyeol put his head on the headrest of the leather couch and closed his eyes.

He admitted that it was his fault for not visiting him for almost a year. But, to be honest, when he was in Cambridge, he missed his boyfriend, at that time Luhan, so much.

But, Luhan, who was older than him and who had a lot experience about life than Chanyeol, did not come to see him once in a year with the reason that if Chanyeol saw him, the taller would only want to return to Korea and couldn't concentrate on lessons.

It was quite true for Chanyeol. So, he was using the same method for Baekhyun, too. Even though the shorter did not have any clue about it, Chanyeol knew that it would affect in a good way somehow.

Chanyeol then stood up and left the room. He did not want to be a CEO who arrived the meeting room later than others. When he entered the meeting room, Mr. Shim was there already.

"You should take a holiday, too."

Chanyeol said and sat down at his place. In this meeting, all he had to do was to listen to the presentation and to comment about the employees' ideas.

"Even you don't have a holiday so why shall I?"

"Cause you are older than me."

Chanyeol jokingly said and chuckled.

"Age is just a number. I am still as active as you."

Mr. Shim was sensitive when it came to his age and Chanyeol found it funny. Mr. Shim had been working at the company as his grandfather's secretary. Then, when his grandfather passed away, he resigned from the company.

But when Chanyeol started working at the company, he fetched Mr. Shim again and begged him to stay beside him.

"Thank you.. ahjusshi."

Mr. Shim smiled but replied nothing.

"The meeting is starting soon."

Chanyeol's eyes averted to the door when a man came inside after the announcement.

It's Mr. Oh.

Chanyeol just thought when he saw the familiar face but then, an idea flashed in his mind. His lips curved upwards.

+   +   +

"Baekhyun!"

Baekhyun stopped his steps when he heard someone call out his name clearly. The grip on the hem of his coat tightened before turning around to see who called his name.

"Lu..han?"

"Long time no see, Baekhyun."

Luhan smiled and said but Baekhyun was not in mood to give a bright smile back in reply.

"Can I visit your apartment?"

"Of course."

Luhan smiled and Baekhyun led the way to his apartment.

"Do you come here alone?"

"Uhm, with Sehun but he is in hotel."

"Ah.. why do you come here?"

"Just a holiday trip. Sehun said he's free for days so we decided to come here. And, I haven't visited you since you moved here."

"The distance between my apartment and university is just two streets away."

"Oh, that is nice."

Silence took place between them and it was also awkward for Baekhyun to talk with his husband's ex boyfriend while walking back to home.

"Why do you spend money for hotel fees? You two can just stay at my home. I live alone so there is an empty room."

"I..uhm.. I will call Sehun so!"

Baekhyun felt happy when Luhan did not reject his offer. To be honest, it was so lonely to live alone in a big apartment. Even though he was not that close with Luhan, and completely a stranger to Sehun, but at least, with the feeling that he was not alone under the roof, he could sleep well tonight.

+   +   +

"Chef. Oh's dishes are the best!"

Baekhyun said after tasting one of the dishes that Sehun made for their dinner. Like a proud boyfriend, Luhan was smiling quietly when Baekhyun praised his boyfriend.

"By the way, you can visit here and sleep over at my apartment when you come to Tokyo again, soon."

Baekhyun told Luhan and the latter gave two or three continuous nods to see the Byun's, or the Park's, light smile. Both Luhan and Sehun knew that Baekhyun wanted them to stay together with him at his apartment because of unbearable loneliness that Baekhyun had been feeling for a long time since he started living here in Japan.

"We will stay here for long so you don't need to cook for meals. Chef. Oh will do all the dishes, right?"

Luhan asked with a playful smile and stared at Sehun.

"Of course, just believe me and leave your kitchen with me. Your stomach won't feel bad during the period I am staying here."

With a thumb up, Sehun looked at Baekhyun and replied so Baekhyun responded with a smile. To be honest, having a lovely couple in his eyesight was making him miss Chanyeol more.

The way Luhan hugged Sehun from behind while the taller was cooking for dinner, the way Sehun stared at Luhan with eyes full of love and a sigh when naughty Luhan ruined a beetroot, the way Sehun ruffled Luhan's hair when Luhan acted cutely.

Everything reminded him of his husband.

"How did you two meet?"

Baekhyun brought a new topic to make himself forget about Chanyeol and it did work.

"It was so romantic that this guy in front of you hit me with a basketball at our first sight."

Sehun pointed to Luhan and Baekhyun widened his eyes.

"Why? Why did he hit you?"

"He told me that he wrongly took me as his friend and hit me really hard with a basketball from behind but actually, it was just made up."

Baekhyun did not expect this. He always thought that Sehun might be the one who made his first move.

"So, Luhan was the one who approached you."

"Of course! He liked me first and tried to approach me."

"And Sehun was hospitalized after that incident."

Luhan added and Baekhyun could not help but shocked again.

"What happened?"

"Sehun was a swimmer and I was jealous when girls peeked at his body while he was training alone at pool. Then, I hit his back with the basketball and he was hospitalized because of back pain. Since then, Sehun can't swim again. Swimming was his dream though."

Luhan did not seem like he was sorry for breaking Sehun's dream and Baekhyun imagined what if he might do the same to Chanyeol. But, an ugly truth was that he still did not know what Chanyeol's dream was.

"It was me who brought him to his new hobby, his new dream."

"Cooking?" Baekhyun asked and Luhan nodded cheerfully while Sehun was just playing with his own fingers.

"The start of Chef. Oh is me."

"It is my mom and dad though."

"It is the start of Oh Sehun."

Even a little lover quarrel was so cute in Baekhyun's eyes.

"By the way, don't you call Chanyeol?"

"To be honest...," Baekhyun paused for a while to answer Sehun's question.

"We had a fight."

"What happened?"

"Because it has been almost a year that I don't get a chance to see him in person."

"The key of a long distance relationship is trust, Baekhyun, it is not how often you two see each other in person."

Luhan said with a sigh.

"You don't know how much I miss Chanyeol."

"Luhan and I were not able to see for years."

"Sehun, don't pressure him."

"But at least, Luhan confessed his feelings to you, Sehun."

Baekhyun said and left the dining room first. Closing the bedroom door, Baekhyun leaned his back onto it.

"When will I get to hear that you love me?"

TBC.

A/N : Long time no update. Tbh, I finished writing this chapter since before May but I planned to update this on Baekhyun's birthday, the day that EXO performed in our country, however, I couldn't. Sorry for late update yo!

It's my first time seeing them tbh so I wanna keep it as one of the best memories of my life.

Just total six songs (Monster, Lotto, LMR, Heaven, Tender Love and Lucky) and Baekhyun's birthday celebration, but after the concert and when they went back to Korea, I seriously miss them so much. It's only about 45 minutes of performance but it was so precious that I hoped the time stopped forever.

The weather here is too hot that even local fans fainted before the concert started because there were too many fans. I was so worried about the boys as they held an outdoor fan signing event T-T.

Next time, let's meet again in winter. It's not that cold like in Korea but it's not hot like our summer. Take care babies. I also saw so many foreign fans came here. Maybe fansites.

Taeyongbar jie jie is so kind <3

Keke, I will update soon!
