"Who the hell are you?!" Chanyeol shouted when he opened his eyes, realizing that it's not his personal driver driving his van. He's on his way to the hotel where he resides since they finished filming the whole movie already. He felt his energy was drained after the long day of filming but the positive thing about that is he only have to stay at China for a week or two. The things he needed to finish were the press conference and the movie premiere that are both going to happen on the same week.

"I said who the hell are you?!" As much as Chanyeol wanted to punch the one seated on the driver's seat whose face is covered with a mask, he just can't because his hands are handcuffed on his sides.

The van stopped and then the driver removed his mask, revealing a foreign face to Chanyeol. "You're Park Chanyeol, right?"

"Yes, I am! Who are you?! I don't care if you're a girl! I'm still going to send you behind the bars!" Chanyeol said continuously, hiding the panic building inside his system.

"The fuck!" The driver hissed before completely showing his face to Chanyeol. "For fucks sake, I'm not a girl!"

"Oh. . ." Chanyeol muttered still breathing hard since he doesn't know who's the one driving his car. "Okay! But who are you?! What do you want from me?!"

"Could you please shut your mouth first? You're too much of a talker compared to Sehun," the guy shakes his head. "I am Luhan by the way."

"Luhan?" Chanyeol recalled where he heard that name and then it suddenly hit him like a truck that this guy was one of the few people Sehun invited to be with him during their mini vacation. "You're Sehun's friend, right?! Where is my brother?!"

Luhan was taken aback when Chanyeol managed to remove his one hand from the cuffs. "Woah! Chill there!" Luhan jumped out of the van and hurries himself to Chanyeol's way. He then removed the handcuffs on his hand. "You're free now."

When Chanyeol's hands are free, he launched himself to Luhan causing them to fall in the cemented ground. "To where did you brought my brother?!"

"Calm down, Chanyeol! I didn't kidnapped your brother! I'm here to speak to you!" Luhan tries to escape from Chanyeol's arms but he failed. "Fuck! If ever people will saw us in this kind of position, I'm gonna kick your balls!"

That's when the time when Chanyeol realized that their position is awkward so he got up and waited for Luhan to do the same. When they are both facing each other, Chanyeol is sending daggers to Luhan who's brushing the invisible dust on his shirt. "Now, answer my goddamn question! Where is my brother?!"

Luhan held his hands in the mid-air, as a sign of surrender. "We found him already. Sehun is just living on the village nearby where you live. And what the fuck? You thought I kidnapped your brother?!"

"Because among of the few people he went with on a mini vacation, it's you whom I don't know personally! It's my first time seeing your face!" Chanyeol pointed a finger on Luhan. "So, I thought you're his kidnapper!"

"Jeez, how did Baekhyun ended up falling in love with an idiot like you," Luhan whispered low enough for only him to hear it but having a big pair of ears, it reached Chanyeol's hearing.

"What did you say?!" He pulled Luhan's shirt. "I heard you saying something!" Panic started rising on his system again.

"I thought you heard it, why are you asking me?" Luhan grinned and that's when Chanyeol threw a fistful punch on his face making him spit out small amount of blood from his mouth.

Chanyeol cannot withstand and handle the situation anymore. First, pent-up frustrations because he's tired and his nap was disturbed. Second, the panic state he was a while ago when he saw that the one driving his van is wearing a mask. Third, waking up having his hands cuffed on his sides. Fourth, mistaking someone as his brother's kidnapper. Fifth, the accused kidnapper knows something.

"Don't you know how to respect?! I am older than you and you're not calling me with formalities! And here you are being a brat to me?!" Chanyeol was about to throw another punch again but Luhan nudged it, his fist landing on Chanyeol's nose, making it bleed. "Fuck!"

"I don't know what Baekhyun saw on you. He deserves someone like Sehun not you!" Luhan launched another punch again, and he was shocked when Chanyeol didn't moved.

"Who are you to tell me that I don't deserve Baekhyun and he deserves someone like my brother?!" Chanyeol returned the punch. "What did you know?!"

"I know everything! I saw you two hugging each other on the SOPA parking lot! I started investigating about you two! I hate the both of you! You're both hurting the one I love the most! The one that I've cherished from afar! You're making a fool out of him!" Luhan started punching Chanyeol on his chest. "I can't believe that of all people existing in this planet, it's you and Baekhyunㅡthe ones Sehun trusted the mostㅡwill be the ones causing him too much pain!"

Chanyeol didn't returned the physical contacts anymore since he suddenly felt guilty. Luhan is right. It will forever hunt them as long as they're not making up their minds to tell his younger brother. But how can they made up their minds without looking at the tiniest part of their relationship being wrecked? How can they plan on telling Sehun about them when in fact, both of them are not in talking terms for almost three weeks?

"Are we still together?" That thought made Chanyeol's chest heavy. He ducks down his head trying to avoid Luhan's eyes as he quietly accept the punches Luhan is throwing on him. When the deer guy felt tired of it, he slumped back on the cemented ground, still sobbing as hard awhile ago. "Why didn't you tell Sehun if you know the thing going on between me and Baekhyun?" Chanyeol opened a conversation while watching how the grasses sway together with the wind blowing this time.

"Just like what I answered to Baekhyun, it's not my secret to tell," Luhan remained stoic. "I came here all the way from Korea to help Baekhyun. But after what happened? I don't think I'm willing to help him in solving your problems because you're such a jerk and asshole. I can introduce Baekhyun to my other friends. Guys that are way better, nicer, and more handsome than you. They're not jerks like you."

Chanyeol shouldn't be affected with what Luhan said but he can't help. Tears started streaming down on his eyes. "Did I hurt him a lot?"

Luhan faked a laugh. "If you'll ask me to rate how hurt he was? I can't give a precise answer. Know why? Because the amount of pain you caused him is immeasurable and unbearable. You've been ignoring him for almost a month. He's been beyond devastated and it's traumatizing to us seeing a cold and pained Baekhyun. We all missed our jolly, energetic, and optimistic Baekhyun."

"I'm coming home the day after tomorrow," Chanyeol said not knowing why he even notified Luhan of it.

"If you still want to give your relationship a second chance, you have to exert effort because Baekhyun is now happy with Sehun's company. Not that they're in a relationship, but what you failed to give him? It's Sehun the one fulfilling your duties as Baekhyun's boyfriend."

"I don't understand you," Chanyeol chuckled. "You're being too much of a martyr. You like my brother, right? But why do I feel like you're fine with his situation with Baekhyun right now?"

"Don't you dare question my feelings for Sehun. If he's happy, then I'm happy. I'd rather see him happy with other person than to have him by my side, losing interest on me since I'm such a boring person."

"Did you really come all way long from Korea just to tell me these things?" Luhan nodded. "Why?"

"Because I wanted to help Baekhyun. He loves you so much but you're being an asshole. You don't even know how hard it is for him to suffer from losing his best friend and not having an inkling what's happening with his relationship with you," Luhan shakes his head in disappointment. "May I ask what really happened to your relationship? I mean, why did you guys ended up being like this?"

Chanyeol's forehead creased. "It's the time when I told him that the moment I came back from China, we will tell Sehun about our relationship but he refused. He wanted to prolong Sehun's agony and pain. I-I thought he's already developing a romantic feelings towards my brother. I-I thought he's confused."

"Wow. . ." Luhan chuckled. "That thing never crossed my mind. You don't trust Baekhyun. For almost a month, you left him hanging like that? He got too much on his plate. Do you know that?"

"Sorry," Chanyeol lowered his head. "Do I still have my Baekhyun when I come back to Korea?"

"Do you want a serious answer or nah?"

"Serious please."

Luhan sighed. "I don't know, Chanyeol. It's only Baekhyun who can answer that. He never talked about you that much those days that were passing by. He's just silently torturing himself. You filmed a movie, right?"

"Yes and I know Baekhyun is aware of that."

Luhan nodded. "Aware and hurt. You've been ignoring him. And what will we get from you? Posting your photoshoots with your female lead and telling everyone that she's beautiful like you're not in a relationship?"

"What are you saying?" Luhan showed his phone to Chanyeol. It is a screenshot of his Instagram post telling Jongin that Shanshan is beautiful. "I never posted something like that!"

"Then who's this real__pcy user? Aren't you the one behind this account?" Chanyeol innocently nodded. "So, why are you acting clueless there?"

Chanyeol brushed his hair in exasperation. "Damn it! It's Director Wang who posted that! He confiscated our gadgets most of the time! I never knew he will use my Instagram!"

"Great," Luhan faked a laugh. "You have a long explanation to give to Baekhyun. Just one piece of advice, Chanyeol. . ." He tapped the older one's shoulders. "Don't be a jerk again by sacrificing your relationship with Baekhyun. There's a lot of people eyeing Baekhyun. Don't be over confident just because you know he's head over heels to you. He's just a human, time will come, he'll feel tired of being hurt and when that time comes, I'm sure, he won't be hesitant on leaving you."

Chanyeol closes his eyes as he let tears drop from it. "I love him so much. I'm scared of being left again. Not this time when I found my happiness. I really want Baekhyun for my life. I didn't know I messed up this much to the point that when I come home, it's only Kyungsoo who will welcome me."

"That's what you think," Luhan smugly looked at Chanyeol. "Kyungsoo is mad at you, too. I'm not sure but I really feel it."

"Yes, he's mad at me. When we talked last time, all he did was to cuss on me, he's angry, mad, and annoyed. I know it's because of me. But I'm glad he cares for my Baekhyun."

Luhan nodded. "We love Baekhyun so much. As much as we want to protect him from everyone causing him pain, we just can't. Because the one causing him pain, is also the only one who can give him wide array of happiness."

"That's me, right?" Luhan nodded. "I'll make it up for my Baekhyun. I don't care if he'll ignore me, I'll do my best to have my Baekhyun back."
