It was around midnight when the sound of a key twisting inside the lock woke Baekhyun up. He blinked his eyes open tiredly and glanced around, he was confused for a moment before he remembered what had happened the day before; his admission that he's been cheating on his fiancé. The door opened then and he heard voices; one was distinctly Daehyun while the other he didn't recognize. He bit his bottom lip and pulled the blanket higher over his face.

The sound of laughter and stumbling feet moved it's way into the apartment. A soft voice laughed before it fell silent, and Baekhyun heard them quietly whisper, "Who's that?"

"My fiancé I mentioned . . ." Baekhyun heard Daehyun quietly reply. Baekhyun softly gasped and he bit his bottom lip. "Come on, just forget he's here . . ." There was more soft murmuring but Baekhyun tuned them out, not wanting to hear Daehyun bad-mouthing him. He fought back his tears, only allowing them to fall after he heard the bedroom door shut.

Moments later he could hear the bedsprings and soft moaning; Baekhyun pulled a pillow over his head to block the obscene noises as tears continuously rolled down his cheeks.

The next morning, Baekhyun pulled his blanket off his head as he yawned and stretched his limbs before glancing around the room. He sighed and swung his legs over the edge of the couch and slowly shuffled to the bathroom. The door was closed but he didn't even think about that as he reached out to twist the knob; he was preparing to open the door when from the other side it twisted open.

Baekhyun gasped as the other person muttered, "Whoops!" before slipping pass Baekhyun as if the night before they hadn't screwed his fiancé.

Baekhyun felt his cheeks heat up angrily and his fists clenched at his sides. He was about to run after them like the girls in chick flicks where hair pulling was the main source of retaliation after something bad happened —- in this case fucking his guy.

But Baekhyun's plans were thwarted when Daehyun walked out of the bedroom. He smiled at his little one night stand and kissed their cheek. It felt like a punch to the heart; a knife twisting into him. And he felt ashamed and guilty because in that moment, he understood.

Baekhyun had hurt him so badly —- again —- that he sought comfort through a stranger. Baekhyun must have made some kind of noise because just then Daehyun glanced up and their eyes met. His eyes flashed with guilt and his face dropped before turning to his playtoy to whisper something before he glanced at Baekhyun.

"Baek? Please, can we talk?" Daehyun quietly asked.

Baekhyun merely nodded and pivoted around on his heel as he walked back into the living room. He sat down on the couch as far away from Daehyun as he could; even pulling his knees to his chest.

Why am I acting like the victim? Baekhyun thought. It was my actions after all that caused this to happen . . .

"Baek," Daehyun whispered. "I'm sorry, I didn't want you to see him—- I mean . . ." Daehyun sighed. "That sounds like I'm trying to hide what I did . . ." He sighed again. "But I won't do that. Last night I was upset and I went out. I got drunk —- too drunk —- and I brought someone to our home with me. We . . . we slept together and I am so, so sorry. I want us to fix things, and I know what you said last night, but we were both upset and know I've ruined things and I . . . I'm just so sorry, Baek."

Baekhyun's bottom lip was quivering as he fought back his tears. He inhaled a shakily breath before saying, "Dae, how are you still being nice to me? How are you possibly managing to take the blame for this? How can you sit here right now and apologize for hurting me when I'm the one who should be apologizing to you a thousand times over? Why are you still so good to me when I've been fucking someone else behind your back!?" Baekhyun yelled, finally losing his temper out of frustration as he sprung to his feet.

"I'm horrible to you! I don't understand how you can apologize for getting back at me when I'm the one being the asshole! Are you crazy?!"

Daehyun stood up too as he began to yell back. "Baekhyun, I fucking love you! And yeah, maybe that does make me crazy because you've screwed me twice and yet I'm the idiot to think, 'Oh, he'd never do that to me again. He's only ever loved two people in his life time'. So go ahead, call me crazy!"

Baekhyun was fuming, but his fire started to burn out when he heard Daehyun say he's only ever loved two people in his life time, and he was right. Baekhyun's only ever loved Chanyeol and Daehyun, and now that Chanyeol was back Daehyun thought he had betrayed his love to them both, when in fact he was only betraying Daehyun to be with the love of his life. But he couldn't possibly explain that to him. Daehyun would have to see for himself . . .

Baekhyun sighed. His anger completely gone now as he quietly muttered, "You're right, I have only ever loved two people and I've only ever been with two people . . ." Baekhyun trailed off as Daehyun's eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"What do you mean?" he quietly asked; his fire gone as well.

"I've been keeping a secret from you and I think you should know . . . You have to know I'd never hurt you for just anyone I found on the street . . ." Baekhyun softly muttered as he picked his phone up off the coffee table.

He dialed a number as Daehyun watched on confusedly. "Who are you calling?" he asked.

Baekhyun merely shook his head and gestured for Daehyun to be quiet before he said, "Hey, can you come over?" He paused as the other line replied. "I can't explain over the phone. Can you please just come to this address?" Baekhyun recited his address. "Okay. Thanks, see you soon." He hung up and dropped his phone onto the couch as he tiredly muttered, "You'll get your answer for my behavior soon."
