The next morning, Chanyeol and Baekhyun were the same, with a coldness between them and Minyoung sighed unable to do anything to fix them.

"So why were you two late last night, honey?" Chanyeol opened his mouth to reply but the younger beat him to it, "I had to take care of a patient, Mom." The raven head looked at his husband who smiled at him.

"But don't overwork yourself, yeah?" The younger gave a nod before continuing his breakfast.

When the couple had arrived at the hospital, Chanyeol turned to Baekhyun. "Why did you lie to Mom?"

"I didn't want her to keep scolding you," he opened the door and peeked in, "you owe me one, Park." Chanyeol nodded and mumbled thanks to his spouse who smiled before walking into the hospital.

But he narrowed his eyes when he saw him walking back to the car. The raven head got out and went to stand in front of his spouse, "Did you forget something?"

Baekhyun fiddled with his fingers, "Are you free today? This afternoon?" Chanyeol pulled out his phone and went through his schedule, "Yeah, I have a few meetings to attend," he pocketed the device, "Why?"

The younger shook his head, "Nothing, don't be late tonight 'cause I won't be saving your ass this time." Chanyeol laughed and nodded before driving off to his office wondering why the younger was being nice to him. Baekhyun cast his glance down at the asphalt as the car vanished from his view.

"He forgot the checkup was today."

The moping male knocked on Minseok's door before walking in not waiting for a reply. His face went red on seeing the scene unfolding in front of him. "Dr. Kim?"

The said doctor pulled away from his spouse before freaking out at the voice. "Dr. Byun," he got his shirt on before handing over the other shirt to the nurse, Kim Jongdae who was just as flustered as him.

"I can explain."

"Oh my God! I knew it! I was right!" The pregnant male cheered at Minseok who shut the door before pulling him in and shutting him up with his palm. "How did you know?" asked Minseok and Jongdae rolled his eyes before pulling his palm away from the other's mouth, "How can he answer when you have closed his mouth, genius?"

Minseok let out an awkward chuckle before moving away. "But how do you know?" Jongdae asked. "Oh nothing, you two looked cute together."

The Kim couple rolled their eyes at the youngest in the room. "Why are you here so early anyway?"

"Thought I could have my weekly checkup before I get to work."

Jongdae narrowed his eyes, "Work? Where did you get a job?" Baekhyun smiled, "I'm back at the hospital." The nurse squealed in happiness before pulling the pregnant one for a hug, "Welcome back!" The younger was taken by surprise and chuckled.

"You have no idea how much I hate the other doctors here," the nurse sighed, "I missed you so much since you were the only nice doctor." Baekhyun thanked him for the compliment. "Chen, darling," Minseok started, "I too am a doctor here." Baekhyun and Jongdae laughed at the poor doctor who whined. 

"Now get back to work," Minseok said to his husband and Baekhyun smirked. "You two can continue what you were doing," he looked back and forth at the duo, "I can come back later." Jongdae laughed before leaving the two doctors alone, "Let's hang out later, you two."

Meanwhile, the receptionists checked their makeup seeing a tall brunet enter the place. "How can I help you, sir?" Sehun smiled at the lady. "I'm looking for a Baekhyun." Jongdae who was passing that way heard it and approached the taller.

"You're Baekhyun's husband?" Sehun contemplated telling the truth before nodding, "Yeah, I am." The nurse smiled before guiding the male to his husband's room.

"Hey, look who I found," Jongdae pulled in the brunet who waved at Baekhyun on the bed, "your husband was looking for you." Minseok narrowed his eyes at the brunet and glanced at Baekhyun. Jongdae turned to leave but looked at the younger and pointed to Sehun before mouthing, "He's hot. Nice choice."

"How are you here Sehun?"

"You told me I could come and I even asked for the date a few days ago, remember?" Baekhyun nodded. "But he's not the guy you cam with the first time," the other doctor scratched his nape confused.

"He's my husband's cousin, Min." The other doctor nodded and Baekhyun sat up. "Sehun, this is Minseok," he turned to the doctor, "and Minseok that's Sehun. Now can we do my checkup please?" Minseok nodded before proceeding with the checkup.

Minseok squeezed the gel onto the pregnant one's abdomen and Sehun grimaced, "What's that?" Minseok laughed with Baekhyun, "You've never watched movies with pregnant people in it or something?" the brunet shrugged and the doctor shook his head before grabbing the transducer.

Seeing him move it over the other's skin, Sehun interrupted him, "Why are you squeezing the baby out?" Baekhyun burst out laughing at his and Minseok huffed. "You're really dumb, you  know?" Sehun tilted his head in confusion and stayed quiet till the examination was over. 

"The baby looks good and you're doing alright too, so keep it up and everything will go perfect." 

Sehun raised his hand, and Minseok sighed before nodding, "Where was the baby?" Before the doctor could burst out, a laughing Baekhyun pulled his friend out. He pulled out the sonogram and pointed out the little blob which would soon grow more like a human.

"It looks a lit--"

"Don't even think of calling my baby weird." Sehun put up his arms in defence and just then his phone rang. "Shit," he widened his eyes, "it's Dad, I completely forgot the meeting, shit shit shit." he cursed as he ran off to his car after waving the expecting male goodbye.

"Thank you, Sehunnie," Baekhyun mumbled to himself before walking to put on his coat and put away his things. Unfortunately, today was not peaceful for him. His first patient happened to be a nine-year-old who screamed her lungs out, and he was sure that she had pulled out half his hair. Don't get him wrong, he loves kids but the cranky sick ones were never easy to deal with unless they are offered distraction.

(A/N: true story lol, my sister freaked out that day)

Others patients till lunchtime were comparatively easy and the expecting one sighed in relief seeing it was lunchtime. Just then Jongdae popped up, "Wanna have lunch with me and Minseok?" Baekhyun nodded before following him to the hospital cafeteria. 

Minseok and Jongdae looked at Baekhyun weirdly as he gobbled down his food, "You sure have a big appetite." The youngest shook his head, "I don't, it's all baby, not me," the other two nodded and carried on with their meals. 

"By the way, your husband has been the hot topic among nurses," the nurse smirked at the young doctor. "That was not his husband," said Minseok and looked at Baekhyun, "was it, Baekhyun?"

The young doctor sheepishly smiled, "He's not. My husband could not come today, so his cousin did." Jongdae glared at the younger, "Then who's your husband?" Minseok googled Chanyeol and handed his phone to his spouse.

The nurse gasped and slapped a palm over his mouth, "Oh my God! Are you serious?" Baekhyun gave a shy nod. "Your husband is the Park Chanyeol?" the young doctor again nodded. "Woah, he's even hotter," Minseok nudged his side, "I'm still here and it's really bothering me that you're talking about other guys being hot."

"Geez, I'm all yours." the nurse kissed the elder's cheek making him smile bashfully. "Baek," the younger looked up, "you have got to invite me to your house sometime, you're literally a celebrity!"

Baekhyun assured him he would and Kyungsoo who sitting at the table beside them had heard it all and clenched his fist. His phone rang and he looked at Baekhyun to see if he noticed and when he was sure he did, he left.

"Oh, Chanyeollie?" he began and Jongdae choked on his food. "He only laughs when he gets a specific call. Other times, he looks as if he's in some other dimension."

He took a gulp of water before continuing, "It's some Chanyeol guy too. How crazy would it be if it was your husband?" Minseok and Jongdae laughed but a little later they saw the tears sliding down the younger's cheek and drop on his plate one by one. 

He looked up at the two and wiped his tears before pasting a broken smile through his tears, "It is him, it's my husband who calls him." The couple stared at the younger. "But he seemed nice the last time I saw him," said Minseok and the younger shook his head.

"He is a really nice person, a little dumb but he just doesn't love me."

"Does that make sense, he's yours."

"Nah, he was Kyungsoo's. I kind of stole him from him."

Jongdae moved near the other and hugged him letting him lean his head on his shoulder. "He's gonna regret what he's doing, sweetie. Don't worry about him."

Baekhyun laughed and pulled away, "I can't stop worrying about him," harshly wiping his tears he continued, "Because I love that asshole."

Minseok and Jongdae looked at each other and then at the younger pitying him. "You're absolutely perfect, Baek. You're gonna find someone who treasures you a lot, alright? And that asshole, he's gonna regret letting you go."

Baekhyun looked at Jongdae and leaned on his shoulder as the other stroked his back telling him to be strong. "They just paged me," the younger pulled away, "Gotta go guys. I'll see you later."

"I feel bad for him," stated the nurse as he stared at the doctor's retreating figure, "We can't do anything, though." The nurse sighed dejectedly at his partner's words.

Baekhyun walked up to his patient and his eyes widened seeing the two.

"Baek?"

"Sehun, Jongin. Hey, you two."

The brunet squinted his eyes at the younger, "What are you still doing here?"

"He was here earlier?" the dancer said and stood up from the bed, "Are you okay? Is it the baby?" Baekhyun shook his head and smiled, "I got my job back, surprise."

"That's great, Baek." Sehun hugged the younger. "But how did Mrs. Park allow you?" Jongin raised his brow at the doctor. "She told me it's alright as long as Chanyeol picks me up and drops me off."

"Now tell me why are you two here?" Jongin pouted cradling his left arm. "I think he fractured his wrist while dancing," Sehun pointed at him and Baekhyun grimaced. He gently held the arm and the dancer hissed.

The doctor carefully treated his hand despite Jongin whining like a little kid. "Will you hang out at Luhan's tonight too?" Baekhyun shook his head. "If Chanyeol's late, yeah."

"Thanks for my arm." Baekhyun nodded his head, "it's alright but don't put too much pressure on it." The dancer nodded and smiled. "Isn't this where that Satansoo works?" The dancer looked at the brunet, "It's Kyungsoo," Sehun rolled his eyes before turning to Baekhyun.

"Do you really have to work somewhere with him?" Baekhyun chuckled nodding his head. "Now you two get moving, I need to look at other patients."

"Wow throwing us out, what a good friend!"

Baekhyun shook his head chuckling as the duo left. When they were off, the nurse called him for the next patient. "What's wrong with him?" he asked the nurse and she shrugged. Baekhyun huffed before tapping the male's shoulder.

The patient looked up and Baekhyun gasped seeing the other. "Yifan?" The Chinese man smiled and the younger bowed. "What's wrong?"

"I thought you'd be too difficult to catch," he stood up smiling at the other, "So I had to become a patient." Baekhyun could not help but giggle at that. "Why are you here then?"

"Last time, you forgot to give me your number so I came to get it." Baekhyun gasped and said in a hushed voice, "You came here for my number?"

"I can't?"

Baekhyun shook his head and told him to go home but the other would not budge. The young doctor huffed before getting a pen from his pocket. He pulled Yifan's hand before scribbling down his number on the other's palm, "Satisfied?"

The Chinese man nodded and grinned at the young doctor. "This is where Chanyeol's boyfriend works, right? His mistress, or something?" Baekhyun froze at that wondering how the other knew.

"Don't think too much, I know all about him 'cause he's my friend."

He looked down before nodding, "He kind of helped me get back here." Yifan nodded at that before holding the other's shoulder, "You're not in love with him or something, right?"

Baekhyun chuckled before shaking his head and the Chinese man grinned at him before thanking him for the number and taking his leave.

Meanwhile, Sehun and Jongin were walking up to their cars when the dancer stopped him. "I'm not going to the office now," the brunet raised his brow, "I need to go somewhere else." Sehun waved him goodbye. 

Jongin pulled out his phone and texted Kyungsoo. 

'Meet me at Luhan's cafe, right now X'

Clutching his phone in his hand, he drove to the cafe. As usual, the deer-like male welcomed him in, "It's unlike you to be alone," he looked him up and down, "are you running away from someone?"

Jongin shook his head and stuck out his tongue. He waited five minutes checking his phone almost every second. Then the five changed to ten and ten to twenty but there was no sign of Kyungsoo. 

Just when he was about to leave, he heard the bell ring as a new customer walked through. "Soo," the doctor nodded his head and sat at the table. "Why'd you call me? I don't believe I have anything to tell you."

"Then why did you come?" That shut up the doctor and Jongin sat back on his chair. "Heard you let Baekhyun have his job back," the dancer looked up to meet the male's eyes, "that's nice of you."

Kyungsoo stood up, "If you're going to be talking about him, then I better get going." The dancer held his hand and made him sit back. "It's so not like you to give up and give him what he wants when you don't like him the slightest bit," the doctor bit his lip trying to maintain his poker face. 

"I can sit and stare at you all day, you know," the dancer leaned back and the male in front of him rolled his eyes. Kyungsoo slammed his palm on the table and leaned towards the dancer, "Fine, yes I hate him and had to give it back since I did not need his baby," he sat back, "happy?"

Jongin scoffed, "What did that baby ever do to you?"

"That's the reason Chanyeol is not mine!"

"Chanyeol was never yours. Ever since he met Baekhyun, he has been a completely different person. That dumb giant just thinks that he's in love with you, Soo. Open your goddamn eyes for a minute!"

"Why should I be the one losing everything every single fucking time?", the dancer narrowed his eyes. "Soo," Kyungsoo put his palm in front of him stopping him. "I've lost everything. I lost my friends, I lost you," his eyes filled with tears, "I lost everyone because of my father sending me away and now my marriage got called off because of someone."

He looked him in the eyes, "So tell me, is it wrong that I don't want to lose something for once in my life?" The dancer caressed the doctor's with his fractured hand and wiped away the stranded tears off his cheek. He gently lifted his face, "You never lost me, baby. I'll follow you to the ends of the earth, you just have to be mine, Soo.

And that's all I need. You'll never lose me 'cause you're my one and only. Forget whatever you planned and we'll start over, Soo. Let's be together, let's be happy, my little devil." It was the first time for Luhan to catch sight of a mature Kim Jongin who spoke so well. 

"Come back to me, Soo." the doctor replied nothing, only the tears streamed down his face. "I need time to think," the dancer nodded and leaned closer before kissing the heart-shaped lips. Kyungsoo looked surprised and Jongin smiled, "Just something to assure me that you'll come back."

The doctor shyly went back to the hospital and Luhan approached Jongin. "Wow, who knew Kim Jongin was so matured," the dancer glared at the waiter, "I can talk too."

"I never said you can't," the Chinese man smirked, "I just meant I'm used to seeing you speak rubbish and get hit." The dancer huffed at the male and stood up. He inclined to the other's ear, "I know you helped him too," he pulled away to see the other and smiled, "so stop it before I tell Sehun."

He began to walk out until the shorter one held his arm, "Wondering how I know?"

"I eavesdropped on Kyungsoo calling you about some contract at the rehearsal wedding. So don't let me tell anything to Sehun, Chanyeol or Baekhyun."

"I called it off," the waiter looked guilty and looked up at the dancer, "I parted from that already, Kai. Trust me."

"Chanyeol might be an asshole but he's still my friend and Baekhyun too. If something happens to any of them, things will get bad, Lu."

The Chinese man nodded and the dancer nodded back before leaving the cafe. 

_____ 

Chanyeol closed his laptop and the files before resting his head on the desk. He had a feeling that he had forgotten something but he could not remember what it was.

He called in his secretary and leaned back on his seat. The lady soon appeared through the door. "Ms. Kim," he entwined his hands and leaned his head, "What were my schedules for today?"

The lady flipped the diary in her hand and cleared her throat. She began reading the meetings he had done the whole day and the raven head sighed ruffling his hair.

"Sir," the man looked up, "you told me to clear the unimportant ones." She looked at him cautiously, "Would you like me to read them too?"

Receiving a nod from her boss, the lady read out the next page in the diary, ".... a checkup and sig---" she stopped when Chanyeol raised his hand.

"Checkup?"

The lady nodded, "Yes, Sir." Chanyeol pulled on his hair before glaring at the lady. "Why would you clear that? It was a checkup with my husband," he erupted in anger and the lady looked down tears filling her eyes.

"Get out." The lady quickly bowed before running out. A furious Chanyeol stomped out of his room and walked to the parking lot. Wasting no time he drove off to the hospital.

As usual, the receptionists stared at the godly male, "looking for your husband, Mr. Park?" The raven head gave a quick nod and the lady apologized saying that he was busy with a patient.

_______

Chanyeol decided to wait at Luhan's cafe and Sehun and Jongin greeted him as he walked in. "Why are you two here?", the brunet shrugged. "We come here to hang out after work."

"You didn't pick up Baek?" voiced out Sehun and Chanyeol shook his head. "He texted me to be here," the others nodded and let him sit with them. The trio was cooing at something and Chanyeol went near them. 

"You got someone pregnant?"

Sehun scoffed, "It's Baekhyun's," he held up the picture, "I went with him for the checkup and he gave me this when it was over." Chanyeol felt more guilty than ever and sighed dejectedly.

"Need some booze?" they all looked at Kyungsoo who had just come in with a case of beer. 

"We're driving," Sehun looked at the bottle, "a little would not hurt." Kyungsoo did not meet eyes with Chanyeol as they sat at the table. Chanyeol unlocked his phone scrolling through his notifications when Luhan snatched it from his hand. 

"Oh my God!" the others went behind to him to see what it was and the raven head rolled his eyes, "Baek is so cute in this." The three except for Kyungsoo cooed at the wallpaper of Chanyeol's phone. It was a picture of Baekhyun with crescent eyes as he grinned holding the sonogram. 

"Someone's whipped," the dancer laughed and the owl-eyed male huffed before walking back to his seat. Just then Baekhyun walked in and Chanyeol was quick to snatch back his phone but Jongin was quicker and tossed it to the young doctor who luckily caught it. 

"Look at the wallpaper, quick!"

The tall CEO dashed to his spouse who turned around and looked at the picture. "Look at him," the Chinese man smiled, "he's turning red."

Baekhyun quickly shoved the phone back to its owner before walking up to the table and Sehun rolled his eyes at the gang. "I so badly want to chug down a bottle of beer," Baekhyun said eyeing the beverage and the brunet chuckled before gathering them and leaving them in the kitchen. 

"What's up with the hoodie and covering your face?"

"Are you cold?", everyone looked at Baekhyun who shrugged it off as nothing. "Then take it off," said his husband and he declined. Not wanting to bother him with questions, they too stopped. "Where did you get it though? You weren't wearing it when you left," pointed out Chanyeol. 

"I got it from Chen, he's my friend at work."

Chanyeol nodded his head and the gang went back to chatting and ranting about their day. Later, everyone decided to head home and Jongin decided to stay back and help Luhan clean up the place.

_______

While driving back home, Chanyeol could help his eyes twitching every time Baekhyun giggled at his phone. He lost his patience and slammed his hand on the steering wheel and took a deep breath before glancing at his husband.

"What's so funny?" Baekhyun shook his head, "It's nothing," he paused to reply and turned back to his husband, "Just Chen showing off his pick up lines." The grip on the wheel tightened, "Pick up lines?"

Baekhyun hummed and the elder rolled his eyes. The young doctor mentally sighed in relief seeing that his husband bought his lie since it was Yifan who was texting him. The Chinese man had thrown a few cheesy lines here and there and they had the expecting one all giggly and happy.

"Um, Baek?" the male hummed. "I'm sorry for missing the checkup today. My secretary kind of forgot it, I'm really sorry Baek."

The younger smiled and flashed a smile, "It's alright, I know you're a busy man." He fumbled around his bag before pulling out a sonogram, "I got one for you too, I thought you would have wanted it."

Chanyeol smiled and nodded as he continued driving. He stopped at a restaurant and the other looked at him in confusion, "I'm craving some burger and fries, what about you?" Baekhyun cheerfully nodded and followed his husband into the place. 

Minyoung and Jaehwan were drowned in an intense game of chess when they got home. "Hey, my sweet babies," she smiled and narrowed her eyes at the younger. "Why are you hiding under your hoodie?", the younger shook his head and approached her to hand her a copy of the sonogram. 

"Ah, look at how tiny she is," she cooed at the picture in her hand. She had begun calling the baby as a she since she was looking forward to a granddaughter. But the young parents for some reason were sure that it was going to be a boy. 

"Freshen up and I'll begin dinner in a minute," Chanyeol shook his head. "We ate out, Mom."

Minyoung glared at him but said nothing and let the couple go upstairs to freshen up. Baekhyun got out of the shower dressed when the raven head pulled him to sit on the bed. He grabbed a bottle of ointment and began to dab it on the swelling on his cheek and the busted lip. 

"Who did this to you?"

"How did you know?"

"I found out right when I looked at you, happy?"

Baekhyun replied nothing, "Tell me," he lifted his face to look at him, "who the fuck did this to you?"

"A patient. He was drunk and I tried to get him to lie down so he punched me!"

"Do you really have to work there?" Baekhyun simply nodded and Chanyeol said nothing further as he continued to slowly put the medicine on the wounds.

Baekhyun and Chanyeol completely avoided eye contact trying not to blush at the very moment while butterflies went crazy in their hearts.
