Minyoung paced back and forth at the living room waiting for her expecting son-in-law to be back. It had already been hours and there was no sign of him.

She marched up to her son's room with loud steps and saw him chilling on the bed since he had taken a day off. "Go get your fiance." the raven head looked up.

"He will be back soon, Mom. Don't worry." He tried to assure her but the lady was not having it. Walking up to him, she pulled him downstairs yanking on his ear. In spite of his painful pleas for his mother to let go, Minyoung did not spare him.

She stopped at the front door and shoved his jacket and the car keys in his hand. "Mom?" The lady with her hand on her hips glared at her astounded son. "Come back home with him or don't you dare even think of coming back, Park Chanyeol," she stated with a stern voice.

"But he.."

"What do you think you are doing to my son?" blared Jaehwan's voice as he stepped into the scene. Minyoung scoffed.

"What do you mean 'my son'?" She glared at her husband, her smoky eyes making her look more intimidating but he was not the one to waver at that.

"Back to your room, Chanyeol!", he said but the male stood there caught between his parents. "I think I'm gonna go look for Baekhyun."

Minyoung gave a victorious smirk which was reciprocated with a grimace. "Be back soon, alright?" The youngest gave a nod before walking up to his car and driving away without another glance.

'Wow, my parents are scary.' he thought as he drove away. The first place he could think of was Baekhyun's apartment and went there. When he got there, the door was locked and the other occupants had not seen him either. Next, he tried the hospital. The receptionists disappointed him too but something caught his eye. 

A black Audi and the number plate confirmed that it was indeed his cousin's. So the raven head began following the vehicle and fortunately he was neither caught nor suspected. He glared at the trio as they played at the beach. He himself was not sure of what made him angry. 

Seeing the three finally head to the car, he decided to approach them. Baekhyun who was laughing with Sehun and Jongin bumped into the elder's chest. Looking up, he froze for a second before holding his head as if it hurt and running away. 

He could not get far as Chanyeol pulled him back. "Mom was worried sick and you were enjoying?" the doctor looked at his feet like a kicked puppy feeling guilty for his actions. "I'm sorry." he slowly whispered out while Sehun scoffed from behind. 

"Shouldn't your dad be the first person to apologize, Chanyeol?" he said and Jongin nodded. "Since it's a problem in our family, we will take care of it," he held him by the collar, "So you can stay out of it. It ain't any of your business Sehun." he pushed him away. 

"Baekhyun is my business, though," he said nonchalantly. "Did you forget who's marrying him? Should I remind you?" Chanyeol said. The two cousins had a staredown while Jongin nudged Baekhyun.

"There's an ice cream shop nearby," he said showing the Google Map on his phone, "Want to go there?" the pregnant male without a second thought nodded and the duo slowly moved away from the cousins and walked to the shop. 

"I hope you know your place, Sehun."

"You do not even like him. Stop playing around!"

"You do not like him either! Are you not gonna throw him away just like the ones you dated and threw away in college and high school?" Sehun fuming at this pushed him away. "Stop spitting out nonsense and get lost from my face, will you?"

Taking a deep breath, they calmed themselves though their aura was still a little tensed. "Baekhyun let--" the tall raven head turned around but he could not find the expecting male. "He was right here."

"I feel bad for your kid, how many times will you be losing them like this." Sehun mocked the elder who left him off with a glare. "Where's Jongin?" just then the brunet understood the two were actually missing. 

The duo tried calling Baekhyun and Jongin over and over again but none of them picked up. They got in their cars and decided to divide and search for the two. It was almost nine when they reached the Park's mansion. 

Sehun pushed Chanyeol to go first but the other practically begged him with his eyes to take the lead. Sighing at his cousin, Sehun knocked and entered when he heard his aunt tell them to come in. 

"Sehun, Yeol," she saw over their shoulders and stood up from the couch, "Where's Baek?"

Chanyeol and Sehun knelt on the floor, joining their palms. "We are so sorry. He was with us but we did not see where he went." Sehun nodded. "He was really hanging out with us till he came but we don't know where he went, we are so sorry Aunt."

"Is he that tiny that you lost sight of him?"

"Not like that, Mom. We were talki--"

"I am so sorry for running away like that Mrs. Park. I di--" seeing the two on the floor Baekhyun stopped his apology. Minyoung squeezed him in a hug while Jongin stood there dumbfounded with two plastic bags in his hand. 

"What are you two doing on the floor?" Sehun and Chanyeol stood up glaring at the innocent dancer. "Where did you two run off to?" Sehun glared at him. "Well initially we went to eat some ice cream then on our way back, we saw this amazing candy shop so we could not help but make a stop there." the two cousins glared harder at the oblivious dancer who was trying to remember what happened next.

"We went to McDonald's after and ran around the food courts in the mall. Then we went to an arcade, gosh, it was so fun. I won against him at almost every game, I was so proud." Jongin scoffed at Baekhyun. 

"Oh, please. I know you cheated in all of them, you liar." Baekhyun poked out his tongue and the dancer mirrored it. "Why did you two not answer our calls?" Chanyeol said fuming at the two. "Well, we were eating and food comes first, you know." Baekhyun made a sassy reply. 

"Sweetie, you four could have gone together, right?" 

"Those two were fighting and it was getting a little awkward so we two went ahead," he said feeling a little guilty for having worried the lady. "I really did not mean to worry you so much, I am really sorry, Mrs. Park," he said and the kind lady gave him a warm smile before telling him to wash up and rest in her son's room.

Jongin handed him the bag of sweets and candies before bidding him a good night.  

"But that's my roo--" his words ended midway with a stern glare from his mother. As soon as Baekhyun was out of sight, the lady pulled on their ears. "You lost him since you were fighting? What are you, preschoolers?"

"Chanyeol started it, I swear!"

"Oh me? Yeah right! It was all you, you asshole!"

"I do not remember asking who started it! Next time you two are this careless, I'll lock you up and make you starve!"

Chanyeol and Sehun wiggled out of the grip before apologizing. "Will you two ever fight again?" the two were swift to shake their heads. "I do not know the reason you two fight like this but whatever it is, make up soon. I really have no wish to see you two at each other's throat all the time, it's too tiring!" the duo nodded and the lady warned them again before going up to her room. 

"Aunt is scary sometimes." Chanyeol scoffed. "Sometimes? Try being me for a day." Sehun rolled his eyes at the other's dramatic remark and walked to the kitchen followed by Chanyeol. "I'm so tired I could fall asleep on this floor right now." the elder sighed massaging his neck as he grabbed a bottle of water from the refrigerator. The younger too agreed with him before sitting at the table. 

"Wait!" Chanyeol nodded his head at the other, "Aunt told him to use your room, does that mean.." The elder smirked at this. "Does that mean we will be sleeping on the same bed? Yes, yes it does, my cousin." the elder teased him and the brunet scoffed before leaving for his house with a visible grimace. 

_______

Chanyeol came out of the shower with droplets of water running down his hair and chest. He had another towel on his head drying his hair as he walked in his closet to pick out clothes. As he walked out, he could not help but laugh at the sight in front of him. 

It was Baekhyun on the bed drowning in his pyjamas hugging his shirt from last night. Minyoung had told him to give his pyjamas which were undoubtedly too big for him but nonetheless, Baekhyun agreed since it was comfortable. 

Later when Chanyeol had woken up, he had accidentally left his shirt on the bed and the doctor who was quite a fan of his cologne did not spare it and clutched it as tight as he could sniffing and sighing now and then. 

Chanyeol looked at the cologne at the dresser and chuckled before keeping it on the nightstand with a note. He turned to check himself in the mirror as he put on his blazer oblivious to the fact that someone had woken up. 

Baekhyun squinted his eyes at the brightness of the sun but as soon as his eyes landed at the tall CEO across the room. Feeling the other's eyes through the mirror, Chanyeol smirked and the doctor having caught that, pulled the covers over his head. A couple of minutes passed and he pushed the blanket just a little lower, low enough to sneak a peek. 

"Boo!"

Seeing Chanyeol's face so close to him, the flustered one quickly tried to cover himself only for the blanket to be taken away. "Give that back!" the CEO poked out his tongue. "That's what you get for stalking me."

"Stalking you? Oh please, as if I would." Chanyeol moved closer such that their faces were almost touching, close enough for them to feel each other's breath. "Were you not?" he said cheekily and the doctor gulped, his Adam's apple going up then down as he continued to stare at the handsome being. 

The CEO too could feel his heart waver a little bit as he stared at the cute being in front of him. Heartbeats became erratic, so much that the two were scared of the other hearing it from how close they were. 

"Chany--" Jaehwan stood at the door and the duo pulled away and straightened up. "Yes, dad?"

"Come down soon. You are late, in case you have not noticed." the CEO apologized before telling him he would be there soon. "I'm gonna go freshen up." the doctor uttered and the other nodded before slumping on the bed not caring if he crumpled his suit. 

'You are crazy, Chanyeol. You truly are. Pull yourself together, will you?' he slapped his chest before walking up to the dresser to perfect his hair. Lastly, he picked up his tie and put it around his neck. He never actually learned how to tie a tie properly since it was his mother who usually did it for him. 

"Want me to do it for you?" Baekhyun said a little hesitantly and the other nodded. Chanyeol went closer to him to make his work easier but the doctor put the tie around his own neck and fixed it before putting it on Chanyeol's neck and tightening it. 

The CEO awkwardly cleared his throat as he went, Baekhyun following suit. "Oh my! How adorable are you!" Minyoung chuckled pinching Baekhyun's mochi cheeks making the other shy. "Morning sickness?" the doctor shook his head, "Guess I got lucky today." he laughed it off and so did the lady. 

But little Jelly Bean was not ready to let him be. A whiff of the pea soup made him dash to the toilet followed by Chanyeol after being glared at by his mother. The CEO sat there rubbing his back as he puked out the content from last night, all the sweets and junk foods he had managed to gobble up the previous night. 

As always, Minyoung got him a glass of her special lemon tea and gave him fruit loops instead. "Chanyeol?"

"Yes, Dad?"

"Tomorrow, I have arranged a press meet to announce your marriage. So clear your schedule for tomorrow." the CEO nodded and Baekhyun could not help but smile a little at the thought of telling everyone that they were getting married. Yes, he was for sure falling in love with the CEO. 

 Just then he saw the time. "I'm late. Luhan's going to kill me," he mumbled inaudibly but Minyoung heard it. "I already informed him that you will not be coming to work anymore so there is no need to worry about it okay?"

"You're worried about doing nothing all day, right?" the doctor contemplated lying before truthfully nodding. "Worry not because I have a lot planned for us. Let's go out without these two and have some time for ourselves." she turned to look at Baekhyun, "What do you say?"

Jaehwan rolled his eyes and Chanyeol chuckled as Baekhyun nodded making the woman hug him. When breakfast was over Baekhyun went upstairs and the CEO followed him. "Hey, if you are gonna go with mom, make sure to have something to drink or eat. My mom tends to get a little too excited when she goes out and might tire you out. Don't make me take you to meet Xiumin again." Baekhyun nodded as Chanyeol left for his office. 

The doctor sat on the bed with a hand on his chest completely bewildered at how fast his heart was beating. "I'm gonna have a heart attack if my heart continues to beat this fast." With a newfound spirit, he hops off the bed and grabs something to wear from Chanyeol's closet. He ended up wearing a hoodie paired with black jeans which were the ones that did not seem to be too gigantic on him.

Just then his crescent eyes landed on the bottle of cologne.

'Try not to take a bath with this.'

A huff left his lips followed by a grin as his eyes turned to small crescents. Taking the bottle in his dainty fingers, he took a sniff of it and sighed throwing back his head.

"God, this smells wonderful!"

________

Chanyeol had been right. Baekhyun wanted to curl up and sleep but Minyoung was almost too hyperactive as she carefully dragged him around to every store at the mall. Thankfully they had their driver to carry around the bags but he needed someone to carry him around. 

He pondered at how the lady had such stamina while he was close to breaking down. He thanked the heavens for Chanyeol who had told him to have something in his bag. If not for the three juice boxes, he was sure he would have passed out a long time ago. 

"You are tired, right? Sorry, Sweetie. But after this it's gonna be all fun." she smiled at the other and Baekhyun's faltered, "There's more?" the other gave a cheerful nodded and they waited for their order at the food court. Baekhyun could already feel his eyes get droopy as he desperately prayed to go home.

Turns out the later events were awfully relaxing to the expecting one. "You fingers were so pretty so I thought we should definitely get a manicure to make them more pretty." the lady giggled. "He's my son-in-law. He's cute right?" she proudly declared and the lady tending to them could only agree and congratulate the sweet being.

"Next up, let's get a nice massage and maybe a little facial and later get your hair styled up for tomorrow. Maybe a little trimming?" Baekhyun giggled nodding and telling the lady he would be alright with anything.

Baekhyun got a prenatal massage and he had to admit it was the best. It felt too relaxing and his body felt so light as the masseuse skillfully worked her hands. With a mask on their faces and sliced of cucumber on their eyes, the two were as relaxed as they could ever be.

As soon as the session was over, Minyoung had dragged the expecting one to a hair dresser who had turned out to be one of her close friends. "I really do not understand the reason you brought him here. His hair is already perfect and I doubt if anything will look bad on him. As far as I can see nothing's going to look bad on him." with hands crossed over her chest, she turned to Minyoung.

"Your son is one lucky kid, Minyoung-ah."

"I know right! I want my grand child to look like him too. I can't even imagine how cute the baby would be." All their comments made Baekhyun fluster. "I am okay with the baby looking like Chanyeol."

the hairdresser and Minyoung shook their heads, "You have got more visuals." Baekhyun laughed at that since it was Minyoung who had said that and nodded at the two ladies.

"Figured out what you would be doing to my hair?" he said to the hairdresser who smiled at him. "Let me surprise you, Honey. So don't worry and kick back." she said and began working her magic on the expecting one's hair.

When it was all over, the hair dresser slowly lowered the clothe for the duo to see her work. "Oh my God! What have you done? I told you he's expecting." Minyoung almost had a heart attack seeing what her friend had done. "You need not worry, this dye does not have a lot of chemicals so it's perfectly safe to use on anyone."

"Yeah, it's alright. Don't worry too much, Mrs. Par-- Mom." he changed his words seeing the glare from the other. "But does your son-in-law not look dashing enough to make the whole world fall on their knees in front of him?"

"I could never deny that. I'm sure my son will ravish him tonight."

"Mom!" she laughed and Baekhyun hid his face at the embarrassment.

"You're gonna look the finest tomorrow and always." she gently cupped his cheek and hugged him patting his back. "I did not know about your family, I'm really sorry for that yesterday." she brought it up as they drove back home.

"It's alright, Mom. I never told anyone so it's also my fault."

"You can feel free with me okay? Even if my son hurts you or acts like an asshole or anything else that bothers you, you can confide in me. And I have always needed someone to rant about now I finally have someone to talk with." she chuckled and the doctor laughed. "Jaehwan and Chanyeol are all about work. They would stay at the office if it ain't for me who calls them and tell them to get back. Those two might be workaholics but once you get to know them, they are the best. You might not believe it and do not tell this to anyone, my husband is literally the most romantic human.

"He might look like a hard nut to crack and might look all mean and everything, both the father and the son are same. Always soft in the middle. So do't be too nervous about marrying my son 'cause I know he will love you more than you can imagine." Baekhyun feels assured by the lady's words and nods with a sweet smile.

When they got home, both Jaehwan and Chanyeol were out and Minyoung was trying to hold in her excitement for showing off Baekhyun's new hairstyle. Finally the front door opened and Minyoung jumped off the couch to open the door.

"How much did you seriously spend?"

"Definitely less than what Chanyeol takes for his video games." Chanyeol huffed at the false accusation.

Dragging the two men in, she made them sit. "I got you a surprise, Chanyeol. Would you like to see?" the excited male nodded. "I thought you would not have gotten me anything, thanks Mom." he uttered out and waited for his mother to fetch the surprise from the kitchen.

He squinted his eyes at Baekhyun who was hiding his head with the hoodie. "Baekhyun's my present?" he said unsure. The lady grinned before taking off the hood and Chanyeol stood mouth agape.

That dashing shade of silver of his head and the smoky look of his eyes made him want to kneel. "Woah."

"Hot, right? I know."

Baekhyun blushed under the CEO's scrutinizing eyes and fiddled with his fingers. "You like it?" Chanyeol gave a slow nod eyes never leaving the other's.

"And after tomorrow, you two go and get his stuff so he could move in here okay?" the raven head nodded while his father rolled his eyes leaving the room.

When he was sure that everyone was asleep, Chanyeol slipped out of the bed and headed off to the balcony for a smoke. "I will be telling the world I'm getting married tomorrow. What do you think?" he took a puff and leaned against the railing, "You are looking at me, right? Don't let me mess up his life." he looked up at the stars before going for another puff.

He turned to look at the other once he heard the other cough. The raven head cursed his stupidity for not closing the door behind him and trampled the cancer stick before walking in and closing the door.

He offered him a glass of water after spraying the room with his cologne and increase the air conditioner. "Did someone smoke or something?" the CEO shook his head and checked if his breath smelled of the mouth wash.

When Baekhyun went back to sleep, he too fell asleep after stealing a glance of the petite male beside him.
