Chapter 13



“Welcome! How could I help you, Sir?” Baekhyun greets the customer with a smile. After he is healthy to the point of him jumping around the house to prove it to a worried Chanyeol, he is back to work.

“Baekhyun?”

He blinks questioningly when the male customer calls his name. Baekhyun smiles slightly.

“Hey. Minhyuk.” He greets softly, feeling all sorts of bittersweet feelings coming back to him.

It’s his ex.

“You are working here?” Minhyuk, the male with a charming smile, asks while leaning against the counter.

Well, they might not end their relationship with a good term but they can be friends, right?

“Yes. How are you? What would you like to order?” Baekhyun offers with a smile. Minhyuk grins at him, looking at him up and down.

“You look different, Baekhyun. You look happy.”

Baekhyun beams. “I am happy.” He says with a soft laugh.

“And you still look cute.”

The sentence makes Baekhyun huffs. “Can’t everyone stop calling me cute?” He grumbles. Minhyuk laughs and reaches over to pinch his nose, surprising Baekhyun.

“Still so cute. Alright, give me a latte.” Minhyuk smiles, handing him his card.

Baekhyun blinks before he breaks from his trance and rings his order.











“Hello, Baekhyun.”

“Oh, Minhyuk. You come again.” Baekhyun says upon finding his ex on the next day. The male nods, ordering drink while they chat for a while.

“I visited your place yesterday but I found out that you moved out already?”

“Ah, yes.” Baekhyun smiles, “I don’t live there anymore.”

Minhyuk’s eyebrows furrow. “Where do you live then?”

“Oh, I live with my –”

“Baekhyun, he is coming!” His co-worker nudges his rib and motions to the door. Chanyeol is standing there with a smile on his face. Baekhyun beams and gives him a cute smile to greet him.

Once he glances back to Minhyuk, he finds the male is gone.

“Uh?” He blinks confusedly.

Chanyeol walks towards him and leans down to peck his cheek. “Hey, love.”

Baekhyun grins and kisses the corner of his lips. “Hey, Channie. How was the construction site?”

The tall male mutters a soft ‘good’ before he bends to steal a kiss from his lips. Baekhyun giggles softly and purses his lips to press deeper.

And he misses a certain glare from someone.











“Baekhyun.”

“Hello, Minhyuk! You come again! What would you like to order today?” Baekhyun greets him with a friendly smile. Minhyuk orders and heads towards one of the tables to sit down.

With a tray filled with his order, Baekhyun delivers him his drink and sits down for a while.

“You were suddenly gone yesterday.” Baekhyun says, pouting a bit. Minhyuk laughs, “I got a sudden important call, sorry.”

“Nah, it’s okay. Enjoy your drink!” He says, standing up to walk back to the counter, but Minhyuk holds onto his wrist.

“Where do you live now, Baekhyun?”

Baekhyun blinks, trying to tug his wrist out because Minhyuk is staring at him with such a hard gaze, but the male doesn’t let him go.

“Uh, I live with my boyfriend,” Baekhyun mutters, pulling his wrist away but Minhyuk tightens his grip on it, causing him to whine at the sudden pressure and almost cutting his blood circle.

“Where is it?” Minhyuk presses on the question and Baekhyun gulps, tugging his hand.







Chanyeol whistles happily as he steps into the café. He goes straight to the counter but upon not finding his boyfriend there, he moves towards the other worker.

“Do you know where Baekhyun is?” He asks. The female worker points to the other side of the café.

Chanyeol glances there and finds Baekhyun talking with someone.

“Who’s that guy?”

“He seems to be Baekhyun’s friend. He has been coming everyday since the first time.” The female worker informs him.

Chanyeol locks his gaze on them. He sees Baekhyun standing up from the seat, only to have his hand held by the guy. No, no. No one touches his puppy.

His eyes narrow when Baekhyun tries to tug his hand out of the guy’s grip but the guy won’t let him. Who is he and what is it that he wants?

Deciding to save his boyfriend (because Baekhyun looks uncomfortable), Chanyeol calls for him, “Baekhyun.”

His lover glances to him and Chanyeol swears he sees a relief flashes in his eyes. Baekhyun mutters a few things before he forces his hand out of the guy’s grip. Chanyeol welcomes him with his arms and Baekhyun gives him a hug to greet him.

Chanyeol keeps his gaze onto the guy, his arms wrap protectively around his lover. The guy is openly glaring at him and even sends Chanyeol a smirk.

“You okay, baby?” He whispers, his eyes still staring down at the unknown guy. Baekhyun nods against his shoulder.











“Love, who’s that guy from earlier?” Chanyeol asks as he drives them back home. Baekhyun glances at him.

“His name is Song Minhyuk. He was my ex.”

Chanyeol’s grip tightens around the steering wheel and Baekhyun caresses his arm.

“You can’t be seriously jealous, are you?” He asks cheekily and Chanyeol huffs.

“I have told you that I could be very possessive.”

Baekhyun giggles, covering his mouth with his hands. “I know. Don’t worry though, he means no harm.”

“What did he want from earlier? Why was he touching you?”

“I don’t know,” Baekhyun mutters, rubbing his wrist where he could find a faint trace of tight grip, “he asked me where I live and I told him I’m living with my boyfriend, but he insisted to know where it was. I’m glad you came at the right time, Chanyeol.”

The tall male takes his hand and lifts it up to kiss against his wrist.

“Don’t talk to him again. I don’t like it.” He pouts against the wrist. Baekhyun laughs cheekily.

“But what should I do when he is a customer?”

“You guys have another worker. Avoid him at any cost before we know what he wants, love.”

“Okay.” Baekhyun nods, reaching over to peck his cheek.











Minhyuk comes again and Baekhyun obeys to what Chanyeol had told him the night before. He avoids him well and gets another worker to serve him on the counter while he escapes into the kitchen to help other workers.

In a few more days, Baekhyun avoids his ex very well, but one day, when he is out to throw the garbage, Minhyuk comes to him.

“Hey, Baekhyun.”

He flinches in surprise, not expecting him to find him there. “Oh, hi. Do you need something?”

Minhyuk sends him an apologetic look. “I want to apologize. I don’t know what came to me on that day, I was just worried with you. But you are avoiding me so I couldn’t apologize properly so I have to find you like this.”

“It’s okay. You were just scaring me a bit on that day.” Baekhyun says, stepping closer to him to pat his arm.

Minhyuk glances up at him. “I just want us to be friends again. Is it okay?”

“Sure. Why not?” Baekhyun smiles to him, his gaze softens as he hears that his ex wants to be friends with him.

“Thank you, Baekhyun! If it’s okay, I would like to make it up for my last behavior. Do you want to hang out with me? There is this noodle house that serves good food. Can we meet up and hang out a bit like the old times?”

Baekhyun ponders over the question. It’s nothing wrong to hang out with your friend.

“Okay. When?”

“When’s your day off?”

“Tomorrow is fine, I guess. Where do you want to meet up?”

Minhyuk grabs his hand and gives it a squeeze. “Thanks for giving me a chance to apologize. What about we meet at the park near here? We can take a walk to the noodle house after that.”

“Okay. See you tomorrow, Minhyuk. I have to get back to work.” Baekhyun pulls his hand away and waves at him, entering the café through the back door.











“Hang out? With him?” Chanyeol asks, his eyes narrowing sharply.

“Yes. It’s okay though. He just wants to be friends. I remember that he used to be a shy guy a few years ago so I think he just needs someone to talk about his problems. I won’t let him do anything.” Baekhyun tries to assure his lover that he will be fine. Chanyeol doesn’t seem to be convinced though because he is still frowning.

Baekhyun crawls on top of his lap and kisses him softly.

“Don’t worry, Channie. He won’t do anything. He just wants to hang out with me.”

“But I’m still worried.” Chanyeol says, holding onto his lover’s hips and cradling his close. Baekhyun snuggles into his neck.

“I will call you immediately if he tries to do anything. Hmm?”

Chanyeol shuts his mouth. He doesn’t like the way that guy is looking at Baekhyun. He also doesn’t like his smirk from that day. It feels like he is planning onto something.

“Okay, but I’m taking you there tomorrow.”

“Sure. Cheer up, Channie.” Baekhyun kisses his neck and Chanyeol pats his lover’s bum.











Chanyeol makes sure that Baekhyun is wearing the whole covered outfit. He doesn’t trust that guy though and Baekhyun is too cute for his own good. That puppy is too oblivious sometimes.

“Your phone?” He asks once again.

Baekhyun pats his jeans pocket. “Here. Already with your numbers open so I just have to press the call.”

Chanyeol nods. Baekhyun stands on his tip toes and kisses his lips softly.

“Come on, Chanyeol. You want to take me there or should I go by bus?”

Chanyeol scoops his little lover up and straps him down in his car, ignoring Baekhyun’s amused giggles.







“I’ll see you later.” Baekhyun whispers against his mouth while he unclasps the seat belt. Chanyeol pecks him again and again, not wanting to let him go.

“Oh come on, Channie,” the little darling laughs. Chanyeol hesitantly lets him go and Baekhyun steps out of the car to head towards the park.

Chanyeol will have to leave but he can’t even move from there. He trusts his lover, the only one he doesn’t trust here is that guy. Moreover the park here is empty and people don’t come here, why would he choose here as the spot to meet up?

He drives his car away to a more hidden spot, deciding to just skip today’s work to keep an eye on his lover.











Baekhyun sits on the bench, looking around while waiting for Minhyuk to come. He swings his legs back and forth, before finally the guy comes with a smile on his face.

“Hey, did you wait for long?” He greets him and Baekhyun shakes his head no.

“It’s okay. I just arrived anyway.”

Minhyuk sits down beside him and hands him one of the milkshakes he has in his hands. Baekhyun blinks in surprise at the sudden drink but accepts nonetheless.

“I remember you like milkshake so I get one on my way here. Drink it fast or I won’t be cold and not tasty anymore.” Minhyuk nudges his arm and Baekhyun thanks him, slurping on the drink.

“Um! This is tasty!” Baekhyun squeals as he gulps the strawberry milkshake. Minhyuk laughs and ruffles his hair.

“You are too cute, Baekhyun. Your boyfriend is so lucky.”

Baekhyun beams at the mention of Chanyeol and he nods. “I’m the lucky one here because he is perfect.”

Minhyuk’s gaze turns dark as he watches Baekhyun drinks down, not that the little guy notices.

“Do you love him, Baekhyun?”

“Yes, of course.” Baekhyun beams at him. Minhyuk’s face looks completely dark.

“You used to tell me you loved me too before.”

Baekhyun puts down the cup. “That was before we broke up, Minhyuk. I’m happy now with him, you should be happy, too. Find someone new and be happy.”

Minhyuk grips onto his arm tightly, surprising him. “I won’t let him have you.”

“Minhyuk?”

Baekhyun shrieks when his ex leans closer to him. He snaps his head aside to avoid him, but Minhyuk presses close against his neck.

“W-What are you doing?!” Baekhyun pants heavily, feeling his eyes blur and his head spins.

Minhyuk grabs him close and Baekhyun feels like a rag doll. He can’t move his legs. He wants to take his phone and to call Chanyeol but his chest is heaving and his breathing is ragged. What is happening here?

“I miss you, Baekhyun. I miss you and your sweet ass.” Minhyuk grins darkly at him, reaching a hand down to squeeze his bottom. Baekhyun closes his eyes when the touch burns his gut and he pushes his hands against the guy’s chest.

“L-Let me go,” he whispers. His world spins around him and Baekhyun gasps for air because his heart it beating so quick that he can hear it in his ears.

Minhyuk sticks his tongue out and licks along the base of his neck, making Baekhyun whimpers in disgust.

“I should not have broken up with you. I remember you have such a tight ass, wonder whether it’s still as tight as that last time we fucked, Baekkie.” Minhyuk purrs into his tears, groping onto his butt. His other hand is rubbing against his chest.

Baekhyun chokes on his sobs, feeling his whole body trembles in disgust but also feels like in fire. He tries his best, he really tries hard to push the male away, but he can’t move. His limbs feel like they are paralyzed.

Minhyuk grabs onto his hair and pulls his head back roughly, causing him to whimper. His tears roll down and Baekhyun sobs. He is afraid. He is terrified.

“Chanyeol,” he sobs, trembling when Minhyuk mouths along his throat.







Chanyeol massages his temple when his secretary speaks the lists of things he is going to miss for his sudden plan of day off. She has been going on it for a moment while Chanyeol looks through his tablet for the works he might need to do at home.

“Okay, stop it. I will just do this later.”

He glances through the rear mirror, wanting to check his little lover; but his face pales when he sees that guy is harassing his lover. Baekhyun is crying and he seems to not be able to move away from him.

“Fuck!” Chanyeol throws his phone away and runs out of the car to safe his baby.
