On Monday morning, Baekhyun woke up with a contagious engergy. He dressed for work with a smile, which any other day would have made him slap himself, but not today. Today he was going to meet his sperm donor, after receiving a phone call from Janet over the weekend, she had told Baekhyun all the tests were negative and as soon as he was ready they could begin the process of insemination. But before all of that happened, Baekhyun had decided he wanted to meet his donor first, so after a very nice phone call they settled on a meeting place in the village.

Work went by fast and smoothly, and with only a couple of hours left before his day ended, there was an office meeting to discuss the date for the annual Christmas party. Baekhyun's day continued to get better as he listened to his department head declare the party on the twenty-third, a day before Christmas Eve, and he couldn't help but wonder if he'd be pregnant by then since he had made it a tradition to drink with Kyungsoo every year.

Once the meeting ended, everyone shuffled out of the conference room to return to their cubicles. Baekhyun was one of the last ones to leave the room, and before he could, someone gently touched his arm to stop him from leaving as they said, "Is the Christmas party nice?"

Baekhyun startled as he spun around to find Mr. Tall Elf ears smiling down at him. Baekhyun nervously rubbed his neck as he replied, "Ahh, yes, it's nice . . ."

Chanyeol frowned curiously before asking, "What's with the face?"

"I'm not making a face," he quickly said.

Chanyeol pursed his lips and poked his forehead before replying, "Yes, you are."

"Hey!" Baekhyun cried as he smacked his hand away. "Don't poke me!"

Chanyeol laughed before asking, "You don't remember my name, do you?"

Baekhyun blushed and stammered, "Wh–what makes you say that, Ch—-Cha . . . Damn it! Fine, you caught me, but just for your information I have a lot going on!"

Chanyeol snickered. "I'm sure you do, and it's Chanyeol, by the way, Mr. Byun Baekhyun," Chanyeol said, making a point to say his whole name.

Baekhyun blushed again and pursed his lips before saying, "I have work to do," and then he spun around on his heel before retreating to his desk.

Chanyeol rolled his eyes with a chuckle before going to his own desk too, and silently wondering to himself if a certain little guy would be at the Christmas party.
