Author's Note:

First of all, I'm sending my sincerest apologies for not updating last 30th of October. This update was almost done the last time I have updated but things kinda went rough to me once again (lol always) and I tried writing but always ending up deleting the new parts. My mind's not working properly lately so that's the reason why this update was 14 (or 15) days late.

Second, every story has its own ending. I think LBYW will reach only a maximum of 40 chapters? Or shorter than that? I still don't know. One thing's for sure is that the story's already halfway done so yey! It was my goal to finish a story not longer than 11 months but this story's been on going for almost six months haha.

Third, I'm thinking of leaving Wattpad after finishing Untouchable B, 2190: It's Just The Beginning, The Ghost Of His Past, Tatay Na Si Oh Sehun, and Lies Beneath Your Words. So yeah. T'was a very wonderful journey with you guys. You made me so happy and I hope I kinda made you guys happy too.

Fourth, okay I'm back at writing long ass author's note. Bye for now. Enjoy the crappy chappy ahead!

"Mr. Park. . ." Chanyeol was pulled out on his trance when a lady on her late 60s approached him. He smiled at her and helped the seemingly respectable woman on walking towards his position. "I'm glad you're already found."

For a moment, Chanyeol seemed lost but then again, he remembered that he went missing for two years back then. Nodding, he gave the old lady a forced smile as an answer. Aside from Baekhyun and their friends, no one in this world will be guaranteed of Chanyeol's trust. Better be safe than sorry. He was lost and it will be the best decision ever made to trust only those people whom Baekhyun introduced to him before.

"I'm so sorry," that made Chanyeol stop from being preoccupied with his thoughts. Why the hell the old lady was suddenly asking for forgiveness? She doesn't seem someone who made Chanyeol miserable, but oh. Don't judge a book by its cover. "I didn't know Ms. Jung will come to that extent. I didn't know she'll be capable of going physical over you and your daughter."

Chanyeol's jaw tightened with the mere mention of his missing daughter. All of a sudden, his hands were already gripping the old woman's arms, not minding if it will hurt her or not. "What do you know?"

The old woman looked away, trying to hide the pain of the younger's grip on her hands. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Park. I'm already repenting for it. Look at what karma made me? My life will end in two months. Funny right? You get what you serve."

"What. Are. You. Talking. About!" Chanyeol's blood pressure boiled with the woman's choice of words. He will not deny how those words made him go batshit crazy but won't give the satisfaction by showing it to her. "What happened to my daughter?! What happened to Eunji?!"

"E-Eunji. . ." The old woman trailed off, fighting the tears brimming on her eyes to fall down. "She's. . ." That one exact word can't slip out of her mouth. It was never easy knowing the fact that she contributed on that, guilt is eating her up to extent that after hearing that she's on the verge of dying, she didn't protested anymore because she knows she deserved it. "Dead," the last word was almost never heard by the giant but it seemed like everything stopped to matter when he heard it.

Chanyeol's world stopped revolving. Feeling his body stiffened, he can't find the right words to say and his mind is completely blank right now, not knowing what to do. Slam the bench next to him or push the old woman away from him and ran his life towards nothingness completely forgetting that he brought his adoptive children with him.

All of a sudden, the principal fell on her knees, her head bowed down while her shoulders keeps on going up and down. "I'm so sorry. I will understand if you can't forgive me while I'm rotting to hell, I just can't take it anymore. The moment I heard you were found already, I wanted to come to you and tell these things but I don't have the courage to do so, my body always go against with what my mind wants. And today. . . Today, I heard you came to visit Seoul Academy, eventhough it's hard for me to make a single move, I mustered all strenghts left and made an appearance. At least, before I die, I had let go of a little part of what's giving me a hard time. Again, I'm so sorry for everything. For your lost of your daughter, I sincerely ask apology and I will understand it with all my heart if you will never forgive me, Mr. Park," and the the principal started walking back when it seemed like Chanyeol's mind was flying far away. Knowing that her paces will be as slow as a snail, Chanyeol found his voice and called her. Smiling faintly, she made no answer but made sure that she's willing to listen to whatever may come out of Chanyeol's mouth.

"What. . ." Chanyeol closed his eyes, having a hard time to breathe but he knows being weak at this kind of state will bring him to nothing. "What happened? Why did my daughter died?"

The principal's look on her face wanted Chanyeol to know that it will be better not to hear it from her but the expression on Chanyeol's eyes shows perseverance. He wanted to hear it already. He knows it will break him but at least, he wanted to give his daughter the justice she deserved. "Ms. Jung lied about everything. Her family is the biggest stock holder of Seoul Academy so she used it against me, saying we should front an act in order to have you here before. We successfully did it. Baekhee, your adoptive daughter didn't do anything bad against Hayeol. In fact it was her who did bad against Baekhee. But before that, I wanted you to know that Jessica named her daughter after you, she's just so obsseessed to you that much to the point that she told Hayeol that it was you, her biological father. That's why Hayeol became aggresive towards Baekhee the first time she met her. Back to the topic, she planned everything and I can't go against her because the school will surely be in debt once her family pull their stocks out of it."

"She became overly obssessed to you the moment she heard that you've got Baekhyun pregnant with your own flesh and blood. It was long due, I mean, the plan but I don't know what happened why it got postponed. One day, she came here, telling me that we'll do it already, I was scared. She threatened my family's lives so I was left with no choice. The man your children were talking about was hired by Jessica. She instructed him to take Eunji away from your adoptive kids and when he did it successfully, the next step is to bring her to the airport, the picture she took and sent to you? It was taken with purpose. I was shocked you fell for it, I mean, it's all sketchy but I guess your mind was just lost so thinking thoroughly will never happen that time."

"Everything happened on her favor, after hearing that you're going to fly to Canada, I don't know what's on my mind that I came after you. I've witnessed everything. Everything includes how you got your memory lost. You two were fighting back then, asking her to give your daughter back, but guess what? During the tug of war you two did was a little girl drowning into one cloistered lake, Jessica hired another man to throw your daughter on that river. While you and her? You both ended up banging your heads onto the wooden table on each side of her house. You two were both suffering from amnesia but you know what, Mr. Park? You're a strong man because Jessica is still unconcious by this time. And I heard it was your husband who nursed you here, maybe he was a great help on how you did successfully fought the battle against death."

Chanyeol wasn't sure if the last words the principal said will be enough to lift up his already downed feelings or what. It's too much to take and his mind can't process rightly this time so he resorted on finding his adoptive children, leaving the principal behind, still having a hard time breathing because of the cryings she made while explaining everything to Chanyeol. She warmly smiled at Chanyeol's retreating back, muttering a low Thank you to him for listening and not going physical against her. She ended up praying to Above to make the couple stronger bonded for whatever may come into the future.

"Chanyeol!" Baekhyun seemed relieved seeing his husband step inside their house with their adoptive kids on his side holding couple of plastic bags that seemed like groceries. He told the kids to bring the bags on the kitchen and proceed to their rooms first, after securing that the kids were nowhere in sight, Baekhyun stepped forward, his palms caressing his husband's cheeks. It's warm. Baekhyun has always loved the warmness of his husband's body, it never failed to give him warmth towards his body and it somehow refreshes him from everything. "Yeol. . . Something's wrong?" A hint of worry was heard lacing on his voice. It was already normal to him that his husband's kinda different from the one he used to love but the Chanyeol in front of him? He didn't know him. His eyes were emotionless and his lips were pressed into thin line. "Yeol? Loey?" He waved his hands.

Chanyeol blinked twice upon coming back to his senses and Baekhyun's thankful that gone were those emotionless stares and back was his husband who's full of emotions when you look at his orbs. Chanyeol bended down, enough to give Baekhyun a quick peck on the lips. "Hey. You looked so worried. Why?"

Baekhyun looked away. "Nothing," but Chanyeol knows Baekhyun's lying. He's easy to be red. "Anyways, Luhan told me that we'll eat dinner here. Will it be fine if you'll look for the kids first? I mean, Sehun and Jongin can't look for all of them since they're still doing their corporate duties soㅡ"

"ㅡenough with the long explanations, Baekhyun," Chanyeol turned his husband around and lightly pushed him away from where they were standing. "Make sure that the foods will taste good okay. I'll see you later."

The dinner was almost halfway done. Xun, Mark, Jisung, Chanhee, and Baekhee were all sleeping soundly in the master's bedroom while on the kitchen area of the house found were Sehun, Jongin, and Chanyeol probably talking about business matters while drowning themselves to different world-known alcohols labels. Baekhyun, Luhan, and Kyungsoo were all seated on the couch in the living room, having a glimpse of their tipsy husbands, grinning and laughing their assess out. It was Kyungsoo who broke the comforting silence between them yet with his another observations once again.

"Chanyeol seemed different today. I don't know what made me say it but there's definitely new to him," Kyungsoo said, his eyes glued on the giant who has his eyebrows crinkled because of the topic Sehun and Jongin shared that he didn't understand. "Do you think I'm right, Luhan?"

Baekhyun scoffed. Offended at all. "Excuse me? I am his husband. Why did you asked for Luhan's opinion?" Like his husband, Baekhyun was kinda tipsy now unlike the two beside him who never laid their fingers on the bottles of beer in front of them.

"No offense, Baek," Kyungsoo rolled his eyes and continued on bugging the oldest one who was looking intensely towards his husband. "Luhan, stop eye fucking Sehun for god's sake! You looked so thirsty of him!"

Luhan blushed with that and was quick to tore away his eyes to the gorgeous creature looking back at him while grinning. "W-what were you saying?"

"I said, Chanyeol seemed different today."

"Maybe you're just exaggerating," Luhan deadpanned not minding on looking back to where their husbands were drinking.

"See?!" Baekhyun intruded, mocking Kyungsoo. "You're justㅡ"

"ㅡbut on the second thought, he did. It's like something's bugging him. What happened, Baekhyun?" Luhan turned to face the scoffing brunet next to him. "Did you two fought?"

Baekhyun was quick to shake his head as an answer. "Kyungsoo, you didn't do something bitchy this time, right?"

Kyungsoo raised a brow to his idiot friend named Park Baekhyun. "Why would I do that?"

"Because you've got some hots for my husband!" Baekhyun hiccuped. Grinning to the two which made Luhan and Kyungsoo punch him because a drunk Baekhyun is the most annoying thing in this world.

"You think your husband's that good looking for me to drool over him?" Kyungsoo asked, not minding to hide the offense on his side.

Baekhyun nodded absentmindedly and Luhan found himself enjoying the conversation of the two idiots. "I had a little crush for Jongin the first time I met him! He's charismatic, sexy, yummy, andㅡoh my god, Soo! What the fuck?!" Baekhyun stood up, still not processing what happened. Kyungsoo has just threw right into his face the melted ice cube placed on a small plastic container. Baekhyun felt rejuvenated yet freezing because of the coldness it brought him.

"Bitch," Luhan was the first one to laugh at Kyungsoo's remark but hid it quickly and Kyungsoo grinned at him. "How about you Baekhyun? You never fell for Sehun just for a bit?"

Baekhyun blushed and looked towards Luhan with an apologetic face. "I think he's my crush but I refused to acknowledge it. Sorry, Luhan but I did stole a kiss from him. I was just wandering how would those plump pink lips taste. So sorry!" He showed a ✌️sign.

"It's okay," Luhan smiled, somehow, his jealousy for Baekhyun subsided because why not? His husband's constantly making him feel how he loves him so much. "Sharing is caring, right? So would you mind it if I stole a kiss from Chanyeol tonight?" Luhan felt Kyungsoo's kick beneath the table. There they go again with their playful sides whenever Baekhyun's drunk around.

"No way," Baekhyun deadpanned, gulping the newly opened beer bottle in one down. "No one's gonna touch what's mine."

"What a bitch," Luhan and Kyungsoo said in unison.

"He told us that he had hots for Jongin," Kyungsoo said, shaking his head while looking at the passed out Baekhyun on the couch.

Luhan nodded in agreement. "He stole a kiss from my husband and I'm fine with it. He boldly told us that he liked Jongin because he's yummy and sexy and you didn't protested on it. While him? We're just thinking and welcoming the thought of doing the same things to his husband and here he was: already exaggerating."

Kyungsoo remained silent and focused on examining the midget's bare and angelic face. He was enjoying it not until a drop of tear was coming out from his left eye and it was followed with couple of it. Baekhyun must've been having a nightmare but before they could shake him to wake him up, Baekhyun whispered unending Sorry, Chanyeol while sleeping.

And that was enough cue to have his judgments supported. Something's definitely wrong.
