Chapter 11



“Yeollie, get back here!” Baekhyun calls, running after the naughty puppy who is padding away from him.

He huffs. Yeollie doesn’t even pay any attention to him. They have been playing together for the whole day and Yeollie is listening well to him, but then suddenly the puppy pads away excitedly.

Baekhyun slumps back onto the carpeted floor. He doesn’t see or hear the footsteps coming closer to him and the next thing he knows, he is being pulled back into a warm chest.

“What is my baby frowning at?” Chanyeol’s voice rings into his ear.

Baekhyun lights up, turning around in his lover’s embrace to greet the male with sweet kisses. Chanyeol smiles against his lips, holding a protective grip onto his hips. He feels Chanyeol moving his lips softly, pouring all the feeling of missing him for the whole day. As if Baekhyun is any different.

“I miss you, love.” Chanyeol mutters against his lips, pecking them softly.

Baekhyun smiles, his fingers slipping into Chanyeol’s hair. “I miss you more. It’s so boring here without you.” He nudges Chanyeol’s nose with his.

After they had made love, Baekhyun can feel about how strong their bond is. Their love gets more intimate and loyal. It feels like they are an old married couple who can’t be without each other.

“Do you want to come with me again to my office?”

Baekhyun purses his lips. “I have nothing to do there other than sleeping in your bedroom suite.”

Chanyeol gives him a playful smile. “I could just join you at anytime and maybe we could test the strength of the bed by doing something useful?”

Baekhyun yelps, hitting him softly on his shoulder. They had made love a few more times after that first time and let Baekhyun tells you that every single love making he had with Chanyeol is mind blowing.

“Chanyeol!” He pouts.

The taller male is quick to kiss the pout away. They whisper sweet nothings for a while, then Chanyeol is telling about his works, and they cuddle for a moment.

A maid comes closer to them to tell that dinner is ready. Chanyeol lifts his baby up by his butt, ignoring Baekhyun’s protesting squeak. Baekhyun is pouting by the time they get into the dining room and Chanyeol needs to bribe him with ice cream before finally the pout is gone.

Yeollie comes running to snuggle against Chanyeol’s foot when they are halfway through the dinner. Baekhyun shakes his head at the white puppy.

“Is this how you treat me?” He protests to the puppy, which is tilting its head questioningly at him. Chanyeol watches the scene in amusement.

“I played with you for the whole day and you left me alone when Chanyeol got back! Bad puppy!” Baekhyun scrunches up his nose, giving a pointed look at the pet.

Yeollie hangs its tongue out, snuggling against Chanyeol’s foot. Baekhyun sighs in disbelief while Chanyeol laughs wholeheartedly.

“Don’t laugh!” Baekhyun crosses his arms in front of his chest. The taller male holds back his snicker and reaches down to ruffle the puppy’s fur. Yeollie gives his leg a grateful lick before it pads away towards the living room.

“Baekhyun, you can’t be seriously jealous over a puppy.”

The male pouts. “I pampered him all day. But he ignored me now.”

Chanyeol gives him a look that says millions of things. “I would pamper you later. If you want to.”

Baekhyun bites down onto his lip, shying away. Chanyeol locks his gaze onto the lip. Oh, how he wants to bite onto the lips until they swell.

“Can you pamper me now?” Baekhyun asks softly. Chanyeol doesn’t need to hear it twice before he scoops his lover into his arms and runs up the stairs, locking the door to their bedroom on the process. Baekhyun’s teasing giggles change into soft moans.











A few weeks later, Baekhyun finds himself staring at the menu above the counter in a café. He plans on grabbing some cakes so he could share with Chanyeol later after dinner, but his eyes catch onto the sign of HIRING.

“Excuse me. You are hiring a worker?” He asks excitedly. He has been so bored nowadays, just staying at home and playing with Yeollie. He wants to do something useful, too, and not just to live off from Chanyeol’s money.

“Ah, yes. We are looking for some new workers. Are you interested?” The girl on the cashier asks with a smile.

“Yes! But I would have to ask first. I will contact you guys soon!” Baekhyun declares happily and he then walks out of the café with a wide smile and a box of cake in his hand.

At night, when dinner is done and cake is eaten, Baekhyun curls into his lover’s ribs while staring up at him.

“Why are you looking at me like that, love?” Chanyeol asks in amusement, because Baekhyun is staring at him with a pair of pleading eyes.

“Um, I want to ask something. Can I?”

“Yes, yes, of course. Go on.” Chanyeol kisses his temple. Baekhyun grips onto his pajama shirt.

“Can I work, Chanyeol?”

The taller male glances at him.

“Work? No.”

It pulls an immediate pout from Baekhyun. He whines softly. “Please!”

“No, Baekhyun. Working is enough just for me. I don’t want you to tire yourself.”

“But it’s so boring to just stay at home! Yeollie doesn’t even want to play with me anymore!” He protests, imagining the previous noon when the puppy ignored his attempt to play and went to sleep at the corner of the room. Baekhyun had never felt that betrayed. Moreover by his own pet. Yeollie is lucky that it’s cute.

“I can get you another puppy-”

Baekhyun whines. “This is not about the puppy, Chanyeol! I want to have something to do, too. Please, pretty please? With a cherry on top?” He purses his lips cutely. Baekhyun knows when to use his charms, moreover to get what he wants. He internally cheers because there is a conflicted look in Chanyeol’s eyes.

“Baekhyun, I... Fine.” The taller male sighs in defeat. He could never refuse whatever Baekhyun wants. He is just that weak, yes.

“Yes! Oh God, thank you, Chanyeol! I love you!” Baekhyun shrieks, holding onto each side of Chanyeol’s face to kiss his lips repeatedly.

Chanyeol’s mouth curls into a smile as he watches Baekhyun being so happy. “You are not saying you love me just because you get what you want, right?”

Baekhyun whines, giving him a pointed look. “How could you doubt me?”

The tall male laughs, pulling his lover close to him and giving him a soft kiss on his pouting lips. “I’m kidding, love. I could never doubt you.”

A smile is formed back on Baekhyun’s lips.

“But tell me first. Where is this place that you insist to work at?”

Baekhyun cuddles into his shoulder. “You know the bank building? There is a café a block away from there! Just across the pet shop!”

“Cafè? You want to work at a café, baby?” Chanyeol asks. Baekhyun nods his head.

“Yes! It seems so interesting and I think it’s time to have another skill. Maybe I could make a good coffee for you!”

Chanyeol chuckles. “Sure. Take me there tomorrow.”











Baekhyun gets the position at the cashier and he learns on how to handle the register. The co-workers are so kind and friendly and they praise him over his cuteness. They say he will bring so many women customers just with his smile only.

True to that, many women stand in line just to see his smile and talk to him.

Baekhyun gives everyone a charming smile. He makes sure to smile to everyone perfectly cute (he has learned this skill and used it towards Chanyeol before this) so the customers will be back more often.

Chanyeol comes visiting him some days, ordering many things and Baekhyun narrows his eyes at him. The tall male says he will give the bought things for his employees. Chanyeol would glance around and when no other café workers around, he would swipe down and cross over the counter to kiss Baekhyun on his cheek or lips. One time they get caught by a female worker, Baekhyun smiles shyly and Chanyeol looks not affected. The girl ends up blushing and leaves them alone.

“Don’t you have papers to sign, Chanyeol?” He asks, ringing thirty cups of lattes. His lover surely buys too many sometimes.

“Nah. A short break is okay.”

“Don’t abandon your work.” Baekhyun clicks his tongue. Chanyeol laughs as he hands him his card to pay.

“Don’t worry about anything. I will go right away after this. Call me when you are done, okay? I will get you.”

Baekhyun hands him back his card with the receipt, “But-”

“No but.” Chanyeol says, taking the advantage to grab his hand and kiss his knuckles. Baekhyun blushes and smiles shyly, nodding his head.

Chanyeol mouthsan ‘I love you’ to him and Baekhyun blows him a kiss.

“You guys look like a married couple.” A worker says beside him and Baekhyun yelps in surprise. He smiles shyly.
