Chapter Twenty One
Baekhyun was awaken when he felt fingers running through his hair making him feel sleepy again. With half-lidded eyes, he opened it and was welcomed with Sehun's face just an inch closer to him.
"Did I wake you up?" Baekhyun shakes his head. "Sorry if I disturbed your sleep. I just can't stop myself from touching your hair. It's so silky."
"Sehun, I thought you're mad at me? Why does your actions contradicts what you have said?"
"Well. . ." He scratched the back of his nape. "I guess I'm being unfair for not hearing your explanations. Sorry if I acted like an asshole again."
Baekhyun warmly smiled. "It's nothing. I'm glad we're finally in good terms and I'm sorry if I can't return your feelings back."
Sehun nodded. "May I know why?"
"Uhm. . ." Baekhyun averted his gaze. "I just don't want to be involved in a relationship," liar, Baekhyun. Liar.
"Is that so? I thought you have someone special there," Sehun pointed on Baekhyun's chest. "Didn't I creeped you out when I confessed my feelings?"
"Kind of because I really didn't expected that it will be me the one you'll gonna like. I mean, why me of all people out there?"
"Didn't we talked about this matter before?"
"Yes."
"I think even if Chanyeol hyung is on my feet, he'll reason out the same thing. You're likable and lovable, Baekhyun," Baekhyun's chest throbbed at the sudden mention of Chanyeol's name. Pain, hurt, sadness, and longing hit him like a truck but he still acted natural for Sehun not to notice the changes on his mood.
"You think so?" Sehun nods.
"It's a shame I don't stand a chance to make you feel you deserve all the happiness in this world," Sehun covered his eyes since it's starting to water again." Ughh. It's my first heart break, don't you know it?"
"Really?" Baekhyun chuckled. "You're Park Sehun. You get everything you want. By hook or by crook."
"But I can't have you so what's the catch?" Baekhyun's expression turned serious. "I just hope that if ever you'll fall in love, that guy will give you happiness not pain. I'm willing to wreck his face the moment I heard he cheated or hurts you!" Oh dear, Sehun. How will you react the moment you will learn that your brother is already hurting the one you love a big time.
"And so I hope you'll find the right one for you who can reciprocate your feelings," Baekhyun remembered Luhan. "Hey, thoughts about Luhan?"
"Luhan?"
"Yeah. The doe-eyed friend we have. What are your thoughts about him?" Baekhyun cheekily smiled, trying to get a hunch if Luhan have a chance for his best friend.
"He's. . . Uhm, cool? But not enough for me to like him," Sehun shrugged. "Why d'you asked?"
Baekhyun's expression crumpled. "Luhan is a good guy! Luhan is beautiful! Luhan is perfect!" He continuously said while lightly punching Sehun's chest. He suddenly felt frustrated with Sehun's answer.
"I never mentioned about Luhan hyung being imperfect, a bad guy, nor an ugly person. It's just that, I don't want someone to be a rebound. I know I'm not an expert when it comes to love but I don't want to hurt someone, I'd rather be hurt that be the one causing pain," he smiled sadly. "Anyways. . ." He pinched Baekhyun's cheeks. "What do you want for breakfast?"
"You know how to cook?" Baekhyun blinked couple of times in which Sehun nodded. "How come?"
"I learned cooking simple dishes being away from the mansion for a whole week. I managed to apply for a decent job just to have financial support," Sehun took his wallet from the bedside table. "I'm no longer using the cards Chanyeol hyung gave to me."
"WHAT?!"
"You heard it right. I'm earning for a living. I'm trying to be an independent person," chuckled Sehun. "But my tuition fee and the rent of this house were still coming from Chanyeol hyung. I just can't support myself fully. Just my light expenses like foods, allowance, and others. It feels good to work my ass off in order to survive everyday."
"Wow. . " Baekhyun is speechless. He never thought Sehun will be this courageous. Sehun has been spoon fed since he was young. He gets everything he wants without shredding sweats. In short, he's a spoiled brat.
"I know it's hard to believe but I'm really working now but don't worry, I still study hard. In fact, the principal adjusted my schedules just to pacify my working hours."
Baekhyun pulled Sehun for an embrace. "You don't know how proud I am for who you are right now, Hunnie."
"You're my idol after all," Baekhyun broke the hug as he drowns himself with Sehun's intense gaze on him. "I am nothing if it's not because of you. You managed to survived life without your parents, just yourself. And I thought, I need to stop taking for granted what I have right now because who knows how many person in this world is struggling in order to eat once a day?"
Tears started rolling down from Baekhyun's eyes, he can't help but to feel emotional with what Sehun said a while ago. "You're really a grown-up man, Sehun. Your mom and dad above, must be so proud of you. Not everyone will come into realizations you have right now and I'm glad I am your inspiration to do these things."
"Why are we so emotional this early morning?" He laughed. "Do you want me to introduce my work to you?"
"Would you mind?"
"I don't mind at all," Sehun stood up then offer a hand to Baekhyun. "I'll bring you there once we finished having our breakfast."

"What?" Chanyeol irritatedly asked Kyungsoo the moment his face was seen on the screen of his laptop.
"Thank God you've finally answered my calls! What are you doing, asshole?! Is it that hardㅡ"
"ㅡoh, please," Chanyeol massaged his temples and puts down the file of papers he's been reading since early morning. "Don't pick a fight, Kyungsoo."
"Great," Kyungsoo snickered. "You've been missing in action for almost two weeks, we can't contact you, and you're here bitching on me? What the fuck?"
"I SAID I DON'T WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN A FIGHT RIGHT NOW! CAN'T YOU SEE HOW BUSY I AM?!" Chanyeol cannot help but to raise his voice. He barely have a decent sleep since they started filming the movie.
Kyungsoo, being his usual self, didn't budged, instead, he rose his voice, too. "What the fucked up man you are, Chanyeol?! What kind of brother and a lover are you?! Oh, I forgot, you're fucking busy there," he sarcastically remarked.
What Kyungsoo said called Chanyeol's full attention. "What do you mean?"
"I don't fucking want to tell you. Go find it yourself, asshole!"
"Do Kyungsoo! Answer me while I'm still asking nicely!" Chanyeol's veins on his forehead are already showing up with the pitch of his voice.
"Sehun hasn't been home for almost two weeks already! While for Byun fucking Baekhyun, he left the mansion yesterday!"
Chanyeol suddenly felt he lost all the bloods he have on his system with what Kyungsoo reported. "You're kidding, right?"
"Fuck you! I really hope I was there beside you so I can kick you right there in your balls! You're an asshole for not reaching us for the past weeks! I hope you over fatigue yourself! Annoying bastard!"
"Stop calling me names!" And that made Kyungsoo calm down a bit. "Why the hell is my brother's not going home?! I thought you guys were supposed to come back from your planned vacation all together, huh?!"
"If and only if you didn't acted like a jerk towards Baekhyun then you're not this clueless now, Chanyeol," Chanyeol's heart beats started to race. Kyungsoo rarely have this kind of low voice and kind of disappointed face.
"Please Kyungsoo, tell me about it. I'm no fortuneteller to guess what happened," he begged. Not minding the pile of scripts he needed to memorize before the sun sets.
"On our last day in your uncle's villa, Baekhyun and I were talking about Sehun when your brother happened to be standing on the door of their room, eavesdropping on our conversation. He left the villa that time without our consent and up until now, we still don't have any traces of him," Kyungsoo opted not to tell Chanyeol the truth that he knows where Sehun resides. "As for Baekhyun, oh god. He's been beyond emotional and physical wreck, Chanyeol. He's taking the blame why Sehun is nowhere to be found and added to that is the problem you have regards to your secret relationship. He decided to leave the mansion yesterday, he said he cannot withstand the unbearable pain anymore."
"Fuck!" The only thing Chanyeol could say after hearing what happened during the days he opted to be a selfish jerk who enjoys most of his days on different clubs.
"Yeah, fuck you."
"What am I going to do now?" Chanyeol asked innocently. His mind is not functioning well maybe because he lacks sleep or he's just tired? Or maybe because of Sehun and Baekhyun.
"Work you ass off there and be busy all day long. That's your usual routine, right?" Kyungsoo cannot helped but to leave sarcastic remarks.
"Kyungsoo, it's not helping. Seriously."
"Oh, really?" Kyungsoo arched his brow. "I'm not willing to help you either."
"The fuck is wrong with you? I'm controlling myself not to fucking get mad at you! You're testing my patience!"
Not long enough, Jongin's face was seen on the screen. "Hello, Chanyeol hyung!"
"What are you doing there, Jongin?"
"I'm accompanying Kyungsoo hyung since Baekhyun hyung left the mansion and Sehun hasn't been home for two weeks already. How are you? You look so stressed, hyung," Jongin's words suddenly calmed Chanyeol down.
"I'm fine. Thanks for the concern by the way."
"Get the hell out of here, Jongin," Kyungsoo palmed Jongin's face, took the laptop from his hands and told him to water the plants first. "Seriously? Don't you have any plans on fixing your screwed up life, Chanyeol?" Chanyeol lowered his head and fumbles with his phone. Looking at his lock screen who happened to be Baekhyun. It's one of Baekhyun's best selcas. Chanyeol took it from him when he's asleep. He took his phone and shared numbers of selcas stored on his gallery. "Jeez. Is this all what you can do? Sulk? After being a dick to Baekhyun and a careless brother to Sehun?"
"Say all you want, Kyungsoo. I know my faults," Chanyeol sighed.
"Stop playing the innocent and victim card, Chanyeol. You're not getting any comforting words from me since you're a big time asshole and jerk this time," Chanyeol accidentally ended the call when the director entered the set. It's not allowed on their team to use gadgets while amidst of memorizing scripts or filming.
"Are you done memorizing the scripts?" Chanyeol shakes his head. "Oh, jeez. You have limited time to memorize it and learn the proper pronunciations of it!"
"I'm sorry, Director Wang. Can we postpone the filming today?"
"A big no!" Director Wang threw his coffee on the floor." We're wasting buckets of money if we will postpone the supposed to be filmed scenes today!"
"I just need to go home," he ducks his head down.
"Go home for what?!"
"I need to be back at Korea. My brother is missing," and so my boyfriend. But he can't tell that. That's the reason why he's been ignoring Baekhyun for almost two weeks. He needs to focus on the movie and he's not allowed to be involved in a relationship or else, they will sue him a big amount of money and their (Chanyeol and Shanshan's) fans might attack Baekhyun.
"And?! What do you want me to do?! Postpone it just because your brother is missing?!" Director Wang went back and forth while massaging his temples.
"He's the only family left, Director Wang. I can't afford to lose him," he almost dropped down on his knees.
"And you can afford being jailed for not obeying the contract you signed? Your choice, Mr. Park."
Before Director Wang could order the staffs to wrap up, Chanyeol stops him. "Let's film today."
