"Ya... High and mighty park chanyeol" Kai calls me out suddenly while we were working

"What the....what's with that name" I say

"You don't like Choi Mina?"

"Aish... I don't" <Choi Mina - the girl who's at Chanyeol's house when Baekhyun visited him when he was sick. She is one of the kai's friends>

"That girl is total crazy about you duhhhh... she's really famous of Instagram duh!"

"So? I don't like her" I say

"It's been awhile that you are being single or do you have some secret lovers?"Kyungsoo asks

"Secret lovers my ass... I'm fucking lonely" I say

"Then go out with Choi Mina!!!!!"

"Aish... she's not my type. She's very... childish and uh... I don't know... I am not into her tho she's pretty"

"She's sexy too!! She's hot and sexy girl that's all over our Instagram feed"

"Ya! Kim kai, you look more excited that Park chanyeol himself" Kyungsoo says to kai

"Ah... that... hehe.... I just want chanyeol to go out with her"

"Not happening"

"Oh and you know my friend wooyoung right? He and his boyfriend will probably get married next year" Kai says

What?
Wooyoung and his boyfriend?
Isn't... Wooyoung's boyfriend is Director nim's ....

Wait....

"What do you mean? They are together? I mean they are still together?"

"Umm... yeah of course... they are always together hahahah... what a lovebirds" Kai says

"Lucky people huh. They look like they really found their soulmates" Kyungsoo says

What is happening?
That guy definitely is with Director nim now....
Is he.... Two-timing?

I quickly stand up...

"What the heck... what's wrong?" Kyungsoo asks

"I....I will be back....." I say and rush out of our office and head to.... Head to.... His...

I don't know anymore...
I don't understand.... What's happening?
If those two are still together what about Director nim?
Did he know all along?
Is that why he didn't look happy those days?
Fuck..... fuckkk!!!

'Answer me Director nim. Have you seen me in romantic way? Or do I stand a chance?'

'................ No..... not at all'

My steps got slower when I think back about... that..
What's the point of me going to meet him now?
What am I going to say?
Even if I tell him that, will he believe me?
He will just say that I cross the line.

But....

"Is Director nim in there?" I ask the woman staff outside of his office

"Ah... he's not in there today. You can leave message with me like last time"

Oh.. she's the same person as when I brought ointment for Director nim.

"So he's not coming in today?"

"I think so.."

"Ms. Cha, then I will go.. oh! Park chanyeol ssi" Mr.Wu comes out of Director nim office with piles of files and documents

"Mr. Wu... let me help you" I say and help him carry some of the files

"Thanks god I'm saved.... Oh and what's bring you here? Director nim won't be at office"

"W..why? Is he busy with outside schedules?"

"Ah.... That......"

"Why? What's wrong Mr. Wu?"

"He came down with cold last night and seems severe. Well, this is his usual flu season so it's not serious but. Here, piles of works for him waiting so he will be more tired"

"Can .... Can I follow and check him?  he's at home right?"

".... No.... Actually....."

—————————Baekhyun's POV———————

Ah... fuck the cold ...
Why it has to be now?
I have a few projects to work on

*cough*

And why it is so cold today? Aish! Where's the aircon control?

*phone buzzing*

Caller ID - My Inseo

Ah.. I forgot to put that phone into airplane mode
And ....
I'm currently staying at hotel suite.
I kinda... moved out of my home for some days.

I don't want to face Inseo... right now.
It is difficult for me to.
I know this is time to let him go and tell him that I know what he's ... been up to behind me.

But... it's ...  difficult for me.
So I end up running away.
May be for a few more days.
I will sort my thoughts and calm my emotions.
So that I can talk to him calmly and end things.
I'm 32... I can do that....
I have to.. there is no point of clinging to someone who don't want to be with me anymore..

But... it's just....
It's really not easy.

"Aish... so cold" I murmur and curl up under the blanket and about to fall asleep but..

I hear a keylock sound and ... Mr. Wu must be back.

I try to get out of bed and ...

"W...what are you..."

"This suite is huge"

Why is this kid doing here? And... why is he carrying all these files?

"Director nim, where to put these?" He says  referring to files

"Just... On the table... and where is Mr.Wu?!"

"Oh... I sent him back. Since I will be your secretary for today"

"What?"

He walks towards me and... touches my forehead

"Ohhh... you are burning hot. How can you standing? I bought chicken ginseng soup so eat that and drink medicine"

"Park chanyeol ssi.. don't you have work?"

"Comeeee" he pulls me to the dining table and make me sit "don't work today and rest. Hmm?" He says as he gives me a spoon

"Don't you have work?"I ask

"Since I'm a pro... I am very ahead of my schedule" he says and sits beside me as he watches me

"W..why are you staring at?"

"If you don't eat, I will have to feed you"

"I... I'm eating"

This kid... *sigh*
I really don't understand him at all.

————————Chanyeol's POV——————

"Director nim, you I request an extra blanket from hotel?"

"What?!! You.... You are staying here?"

Looking him all flustered up....
How cute..
he's so sick that his cheeks got reddened.
I must say he's very strong person... to be able to stand like that with that fever

"Yes. I will take this massive couch. Uwahhhh... big TV and big couch! Just like staycation"

"They have extra .. in my bedroom"

"Yes sir! I will take it now" I say and go grab extra blanket from the bedroom

This hotel suite is just like a condo.

I have been trying to lightening up his mood.
Hope I'm doing okay.

I get ready in front of TV with my cans of beer and cozy blanket
Uwahhhhh... totally holiday for me.
Kai and kyungsoo will kill me if they ever see me chilling like this

"Give me a can" Director nim sits down on couch beside me and

"Ehhh... Mr. Byun Baekhyun ssi. Remember you are sick?"

"A beer won't kill me. I need to fall asleep"

"Just a can huh"

"Hey kid. I'm 10 years older than you. You have been dropping out formals recently"

"So..." I get closer to his face and.... May be I got too close... we noses are about to touch... "Can I call you Baekhyun ya?"

He then bumps his forehead with mine hard

"Ahhh!!! Ouchhh... that's... hurt Director nimmmm"

"Drink and watch your movie or I will kick you out"

"As if your small body can carry me"

"I can carry you"

"Hahahah... your ego will never give up will it?"

"Whatever......and Director nim"

"Hmm?"

"Why... why are you staying at hotel?"

"Didn't you come here after you heard everything from Mr. Wu? And that's why you sent him back because I might start scolding him for telling you"

"You know everything.... Huh"

"Well... yeah.."

"Then...." I get closer to his face again and "you must also know that I'm dying of wanting to kiss you right now"
