The trio crossed their fingers hoping their plan would work out as planned. 

Few hours passed and Sehun stood up to leave, "I promised to meet Luhan, I'll get going." Jongin and Baekhyun smirked at him, "Oh, someone's falling."

Sehun stuck out his tongue as he walked to the front door after waving them goodbye. He opened the door only to shut it close as soon as he did. Parked across the street was a car he could recognize anywhere and the man inside confirmed it for him. 

"Chanyeol's here."

The other two got up and went to the door. Baekhyun opened the door as little as he could before peeking out at Chanyeol. Jongin joined him, his head below the younger's and Sehun too, his head on top. 

"What do you think he's doing?"

"He looks distracted, I better leave now," said Sehun and turned to Baekhyun, "When the plan is a go, text me." Jongin and the youngest nodded before helping Sehun sneak out. 

Few minutes passed and Jongin was already gone to the kitchen while Baekhyun continued to stare at Chanyeol who was still in his car outside the house across the street. "Maybe he's looking for you," said the dancer as he stood beside the younger. 

Baekhyun's heart clenched at that, but laughed, "Why would he look for me?" Jongin shook his head before turning to the other.

"It makes perfect sense when you think about it," Baekhyun stared at him as he continued, "I told him you're staying there, and trust me there could be no other explanation 'cause I've been living here for five years now yet I still have no idea about who's living at that house."

"So... "

"There's no way Chanyeol knows who lives there either and he's waiting there to see you."

Baekhyun bit hip trying to stop his smile and the dancer laughed at him, "Stop it! You're becoming a tomato."

Wait till tomorrow, I'll show you.

Having no appetite Baekhyun went upstairs and sat beside the window looking at his husband. 

The doctor with tears dropping down his cheeks watched his husband stare at the windows till the lights went off at the house.

The next evening, Baekhyun and Jongin were at the club where Yifan was a regular. And just as they had heard, the Chinese man walked in with his cocky grin as usual. 

"Good luck, Baek," whispered Jongin and the younger nodded, "Make sure Sehun's here." The elder nodded promising it would all go well.

Taking a deep breath, Baekhyun walked over to the Chinese man and sat at the seat in front of him. "Hey, Yifan," said he and the elder faced him with his famous smirk. "What brings you here, little lamb? Need more pictures with me?" he asked tapping his fingers on the table. 

Oh, how Baekhyun wished to slap the dirty smirk off his face. "I booked a private room, wanna go in there?" Yifan leaned back looking at the younger. "Trying to get me to confess my sins, baby?" the Chinese man laughed and the other rolled his eyes. 

"Don't you own this club? And do you see anyone with me?" Yifan looked around before smiling and leading the other to the room. The taller one looked around the room on entering, "Looking for a camera?"

"You know me so well, Baekie," Baekhyun grimaced at the nickname and rolled his eyes. "I don't wanna beat around the bush," said the younger and the other nodded with a smirk, "Why did you do it?"

"Do what? Making the hickey, the video or stealing your ring, which one?" He remained composed as he asked the other who continued to glare at him. "Why did you use me to get back at Chanyeol?" Yifan set down his glass of vodka before looking at the person in front of him.

"You were pretty gullible, baby. You literally believed me when I said Chanyeol beat me up for nothing big, and I can't take all the credits here. If it hadn't been for your husband who kept messing up his wedding, this would've been hard to pull off."

"What about the pictures? How did you get them?"

"It's not too hard to set up a camera in a room, little lamb," Yifan smirked before taking another sip of the golden liquid. Baekhyun clenched his fists glaring at the other.

"So you took advantage of me?"

"Yes, I took advantage of Park Chanyeol's husband to get back at that asshole, you happy?" Yifan proudly declared since he knew the place in and out and he also knew that they would never install cameras in the private rooms. 

"It's a shame, no one can hear my confession, right? Poor pup," he laughed and cocked his eyebrow looking the younger head to toe, "What do you say? Chanyeol won't be getting back with you anytime soon, and I haven't found anyone right for me. Wanna be my bride?"

The door flung open as a fist landed hard on his cheek, "Shut the fuck up before I fucking kill you, Wu!"

Baekhyun remained seated as he watched Yifan on the floor with a smirk, "No cameras installed here but you failed to check if I had one, darling." The sly male took his phone from his chest pocket before waving it at the elder, "Guess what? I won."

Yifan spits out the blood as he glared at the younger. Jongin and Sehun appeared through the door and helped him up, "Don't try to get killed, Wu." Yifan grimaced at them before dusting off his suit and leaving the place.

But before he could, Baekhyun pulled on his blazer, "I may or may not have live streamed it. And I'm not sorry about that." Yifan glared at the younger before walking away. 

(A/N: I know.. dumb plan duh -_- my brain couldn't work, sorry! The next drama would be good, I promise!)

"I already loaded your stuff in his car, so you can leave with your husband, By-- Ah no, Park Baekhyun," said Jongin with a genuine smile and patted the younger's shoulder. 

Then the dancer turned to Chanyeol, "As you can see, your husband's safe and sound so you don't have to kill me either, Yeol."

The tall raven head stuck out his tongue before looking away. Baekhyun looked up at his husband who looked anywhere but him. 

"Kiss and makeup already!"

"No need to be shy, we already know how naughty you two are!"

Sehun and Jongin laughed while the couple stood there looking at the floor. "Go home, we're leaving too," said Chanyeol and the other two pouted before nodding and walking out the door. As they left, Baekhyun looked at his husband's broad back hoping to hear something. 

But the male walked out of the room and the younger widened his eyes before following the elder out. 

_______

Jaehwan sighed looking at his wife who stared at the wall. "What's wrong?" The woman burst out crying on her husband's shoulder.

"I trust Baekhyun but what's going to happen to them?" She sobbed, "I'm scared if Chanyeol won't accept him back."

Jaehwan patted her back, "I don't think Yeol would let go of him, Min." Minyoung sniffled back her tears and pulled away, "You trust Baek, right?"

Jaehwan sighed but nodded, "Everything will be alright. Stop worrying or your hair's gonna turn white, honey."

Minyoung slapped his shoulder and leaned on his side as she wiped away her tears. The couple sat in comfortable silence until the man's phone buzzed with a new text.

Seeing his brows narrow, Minyoung peeked at his phone trying to see what it was. 

"What's wrong?"

"Sehun sent me a video," said the man and played the file.

The couple cheered at the video as they jumped on their seats, "I knew it! I knew it!"

Yifan confessing everything he did. Another text followed as they closed the video. 

He said he's meeting with the reporters tomorrow and apologize. 

Just then the couple heard the front door open. The elders watched their son walk in and the anticipation from their face faded. "Yeol, what about Ba--" the lady stopped mid-sentence seeing the comparatively shorter male walk in behind their son.

Minyoung jumped to her feet and enveloped Baekhyun in the biggest warmest hug as the duo began tearing up. The lady pulled away and cupped his cheeks wiping away the tears with the pad of her thumb, "I missed you so much, sweetie. Where were you? Did you eat well?"

Baekhyun smiled nodding his head, "I missed you too, Mom. So much." The younger hugged the lady as he cried on her shoulder.

Then the doctor's eyes shifted to Jaehwan who stood there with hands held behind his back. "Mr. Park," the younger turned to face him and bowed, "I'm really sorry about what happened. I swe--"

Jaehwan approached him and patted his shoulder, "Past is in the past. Did you forget what I told you at the event?"

"Sorry... Dad." The eldest smiled and nodded and Baekhyun mirrored it. 

Minyoung kissed her husband's cheek flashing him her beautiful smile.

"But why do you two smell like liquor?" Minyoung went closer to her son, "Did you drink and drive, Park Chanyeol?"

Chanyeol groaned when the lady pulled on his ear, "A single glass, Mom, I swear!" he tried to pull away, "Let go, Mom!" he groaned.

"I still think you're the reason my ears are this big. You pulled on it when I was a baby, didn't you?" the raven head mumbled and Minyoung turned to him. "What did you just say?" Baekhyun and Jaehwan laughed watching Minyoung chase her son around the living room.

"Alright, you two," the lady said out of breath, "freshen up, I'll get dinner ready." Baekhyun nodded with a smile and went up following his husband.

When they got to the room, Chanyeol hurried to fetch a few clothes from the closet and walk to the door. Baekhyun, surprised by the action, held his arm, "Where are you going?" The raven head looked away, "Ehm.. I'll wash up at the guestroom. You can have the bathroom."

Before the smaller one could utter anything, he left.

Once he got inside the guestroom, Chanyeol kicked away the empty soju bottles and leaned down the door. The raven head put his head in his hand as he brought his knees close to his chest.

"You're a fucking idiot, Park Chanyeol. A fucking idiot!"

Meanwhile, seeing Chanyeol leave, Baekhyun sat on the edge of the bed as a tear rolled down his cheek. He wiped it away when his phone buzzed. Wiping away his tear, the younger attended the call.

'I hope I didn't interrupt your dirty session.'

"He's still angry at me, Jongin!"

'What?'

"He's at the guestroom and I'm at the bedroom."

'I'll talk to him tomorrow, don't cry over that, senior Marshmallow.'

Baekhyun laughed at the nickname before bidding him goodnight and hanging up.

When dinner was over, Jaehwan and Chanyeol were at the study discussing about the company while Baekhyun helped Minyoung clean up the kitchen. "Baek?" the younger hummed and turned to the lady. 

"I was so worried you wouldn't come back," said she and smiled, "I'm just so glad you're back home. It felt so gloomy and silent without you. I thought I would die from hearing the silence and Chanyeol blabbering after drinking."

Baekhyun raised his brow, "Chanyeol drank?" Minyoung laughed and nodded, "Drank? Oh sweetie, he drinks a lot. After the event, Sehun said Yeol drank almost all the liquor at the bar and he bought too many bottles of soju too."

"And I have a little favour to ask," said the lady and the doctor nodded with a smile. "If it is not too much to ask, can you forgive Yifan?"

Baekhyun's eyes almost popped out of the sockets as he stared at the woman, "But Mom, he t--"

"I know, sweetie. You don't have to be his friend, just forgive him," she stared at her hands and continued, "I don't like holding grudge against people. If you're a human, you have got to make a mistake. I've known these boys since they were in diapers. They fight with each other the most but later regret it."

"They grew up together?"

Minyoung nodded, "Jaehwan and Sehun's dad are cousins, and they met Jongin's and Yifan's at high school and the four of them studied business together. So we pretty much stayed close when they grew up too. So those four brats are best friends, believe it or not."

Baekhyun still could not believe it, "But Chanyeol even threatened him today."

"That he'll kill him?" Minyoung scoffed, "Those four only know this phrase, sweetie. They did something like this at..." She put her finger on her chin thinking, "At college. There was this guy Sehun and Yifan were interested in. Jongin and Sehun paired up against Yifan and Chanyeol. God, they almost gave me a heart attack that day. 

They came home with busted lips and black eyes, not to mention, their clothes were all ripped to shreds but the next day, they had a game night."

Baekhyun laughed at the story and Minyoung joined in. "So trust me, these four assholes act like enemies but in reality, they're the best gang of friends," the doctor nodded. 

"Is she kicking?" Yes, Baekhyun and Minyoung were a 100% sure that Marshmallow was going to be a girl. The young doctor nodded and the lady squealed before gently stroking her hand on the covered bump, "Hey, little girl, missed Grandma?"

Baekhyun chuckled as the little one moved around kicking against the skin. "You have no idea how much I owe you," said Mrs. Park and the doctor cocked his brow in confusion, "With Chanyeol rejecting every blind date we set up for him, I was starting to think he would die alone and I'd have to die without meeting my grandchild."

The blonde laughed at that, "I'm glad we got drunk and hooked up. If not, I wouldn't have gotten to be a part of your family and have someone like Chanyeol."

Minyoung cooed at him before enveloping him in a hug and patting his back, "I'm so happy, today."

_______

Baekhyun stared at his husband's back despite the darkness of the room as his tears dampened the pillowcase. He wished for Chanyeol to at least face him but the elder had turned his back to him. 

When Chanyeol shuffled a little, Baekhyun closed his eyes pretending to sleep. His heartbeat became erratic feeling the other's hot breath on his face. But it was only for a short moment as he felt a weight leave the bed. 

The younger sat up once he heard the door click as it closed. 

"You're an asshole, Park Chanyeol. I'm gonna rip out your hair and make you bald!" he wiped away his angry tears and fell back on the bed before pulling the cover over his head.
