After two weeks, Chanyeol has been controlling but would kiss Baekhyun everyday and bring him food even though there was a refrigerator filled with food in the room. Chanyeol would try to talk and spend time with Baekhyun even if the latter would ignore him most of the time.

But as the days passed, Chanyeol noticed that Baekhyun was warming up to him again.

Baekhyun would hug him and initiate skinship first which made Chanyeol very happy.

As Chanyeol worked in his room, he saw Baekhyun boredly rolling on the bed. When he entered, Baekhyun would latch onto him and demand piggybacks.

Since Baekhyun opened back up Chanyeol brought Baekhyun out of the maze to prepare for his 21st birthday ‪tomorrow‬.

Baekhyun hugged Chanyeol tightly when they were going to bed and Chanyeol lowered his guard down falling asleep.

It wasn't until the next day when the sun spilled in its light that Chanyeol no longer felt the gripping around his waist or the soft breathing fanning his neck. With a heavy heart, Chanyeol reached his other side but like he had thought, it was cold and empty like his heart right now.

Standing up abruptly, he gave a blood curling roar and breathed heavily through his nose. When he calmed a bit down he noticed a piece of white paper folded into thirds with a smiley face on top placed on his nightstand.

Reaching over he slowly unfolded the piece of printer paper and read:

Dear Chanyeol,

I'm sorry. This is not the Chanyeol that I know but no matter how much you change, I'll still love you. I'm not good at expressing my feelings and I'm not that educated and I know my decisions might be rash. I hope that you don't harm more people. It's ok if you didn't love me before or never loved me. Maybe I'm stupid because I love you for all the things you did and I love you even though I couldn't describe it. I promise I'll come back but I'm not sure when. I just need some time to digest everything and I couldn't do that with you there everyday. I know I owe you my life and I'll try my best to repay you. You don't have to wait for me either if you find another one you love. I wish you happiness but I will not stop loving you.

Sorry from the biggest pabo in the world,
Byun Baekhyun

Drops of tears fell as Chanyeol read the letter his emotions overpowering his facade that he kept believing that Baekhyun would stay here and love him.

"I don't want money pabo." Chanyeol cried as he clutched the letter towards his chest and Chanyeol didn't want Baekhyun to repay him with money because he only wants Baekhyun.

"I don't harm people for fun." Chanyeol mumbled as he lowered his head.

"I can't love another one other than you." Chanyeol knew that he will not find another one because Baekhyun no matter how imperfect or degrading he makes himself to be is the only key that can fit in Chanyeol's locked up heart.

"You're not just a temporary entertainment but my significant other." Chanyeol sniffled as Baekhyun's fearful face reappeared.

"How can I have happiness when half of me is gone?" Chanyeol asked and weakly fell onto the bed.

There was only one thing in Chanyeol's mind-to find Baekhyun.

No matter what Baekhyun says or denies, Chanyeol needs him here with him forever. Chanyeol doesn't want to wait-he doesn't want Baekhyun to leave-h-he doesn't want Baekhyun to hate him.

On his birthday, Chanyeol laughs bitterly and mumbles "So this is my birthday present? You leaving me here to disintegrate?"

Chanyeol never celebrates his birthday because he considers it a waste of time and meaningless but this year he was planning to spent it with the little brunette who has invaded his mind ever since he entered his life.

Lifelessly, Chanyeol walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. With a deep sigh he opened the refrigerator and brought the white box out. He gently placed it on the countertop and opened the box.

There sat a beautifully designed white birthday cake with swirls on the top and bottom and sliced fruits adorned the top layer. In the middle was a piece of milk chocolate with the words Happy Birthday With Channie and Baekkie! Decorated in cursive. There were also two figures one shorter than the other and they were holding hands. It was supposed to be a surprise event for Baekhyun so they can spend the best birthday Chanyeol wished for. He carefully grabbed the colorful candles and placed them all on the cake. With his lighter, he lit each one up and made a wish for Baekhyun to come back.

Chuckling sadly, Chanyeol said, "I was supposed to bring out the cake while you jump in joy. Then I would tease you by wiping a dollop of whipping cream on your nose."

A tear spilled as he continued "I-I would gently kiss your nose and you would ca-call me a pabo. We-we would place the candles on and I would wish for us to stay together happily forever."

"Th-then we wo-would blow the ca-candles and I-I would kiss you as my b-birthday pre-present." Chanyeol croaked breaking his voice at the end because his heart hurt so painfully much.

"I guess I'm not supposed to have a happy ending since all I do is hurt others-even you." Chanyeol breathed.

That day Chanyeol ate the birthday cake slowly as the candles were left burning as wax after wax fell. The cake didn't taste as sweet as he had tried it at that store and the sun didn't feel as warm as before. The house became too large and painfully empty for Chanyeol to bare.

The only things Baekhyun left were the post its and pictures that he had drawn that day still taped onto all corners of the house and walls.

Biting his lip Chanyeol locked his door and drove one of his car away leaving the penthouse here. He promises that he will never come back unless Baekhyun is with him because it was the house with all their memories.
