When Baekhyun and Chanyeol returned home from their one week honeymoon, their skin sunkissed and their eyes bright, they were greeted by Taemin as he offered to help them carry their bags.

"So how was Hawaii?" Taemin asked curiously as they stepped onto the elevator.

"It was warm and beautiful and relaxing," Baekhyun sighed with a content smile.

Taemin smiled thinly in response, and bit his bottom lip before hesitantly saying, "So Baekhyun, um, there is someone waiting for you in the dorm...."

Baekhyun frowned. "Who is it?"

"Your brother, he wanted to talk . . ." Taemin muttered.

Baekhyun felt his body stiffen and his eyes darted to Chanyeol as he swallowed and hoarsely said, "Okay, um, Ch–Chanyeol can you stay here or go somewhere else? I won't have him yelling at you again."

Chanyeol's eyes were stormy with many different emotions, and he stepped forward to clasp the back of Baekhyun's neck as he leaned their foreheads together and closed his eyes. He inhaled a deep breath before softly replying, "Don't let him get under your skin, and I'll be here for you when he leaves. I love you, Baekhyun."

Baekhyun smiled weakly and softly replied, "I love you too, Chanyeol, and I'll find you as soon as he leaves."

Chanyeol nodded as Baekhyun stepped off the elevator onto their floor, and gave one more weak smile before the doors reclosed between them. Baekhyun inhaled a deep breath and squared his shoulders before walking forward and unlocking the door. He stepped inside and placed his bags down before slowly walking into the living room.

Sehun was sitting back on the couch, his hat laid over his eyes as he waited. Baekhyun couldn't help but roll his eyes at the sight as he cleared his throat and said, "What are you doing here, Sehun? I thought I couldn't be your brother anymore?"

Sehun knocked his hat away as he quickly jumped to his feet, his sharp gaze taking in Baekhyun's appearance before a faint grin began to curl his lips. It was unexpected, but what was even more unexpected was when he asked, "Did you have a nice honeymoon?"

Baekhyun tried not to let his jaw drop, but he failed as his eyes widened and he gasped, "What? You're—-you're asking about my honeymoon . . . that I took with Chanyeol?"

Sehun shrugged with a half-smile as he muttered, "I guess I am . . . So, how was it?"

"It was . . . it was amazing," Baekhyun whispered. "It was so beautiful and warm, and I couldn't have imagined a more perfect person than Chanyeol to share it with."

Sehun smiled. "I'm happy for you." Baekhyun blinked in surprise, and Sehun rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah, I know I don't have the best track record when it comes to your husband but I . . ." Sehun trailed off. "But I know I've hurt you, and knowing that hurts me. I've been impulsive and childish and selfish, and not once did I actually think about how you felt. I was just so upset with you for breaking your promises that I blindly chose to hurt you, my brother, and I don't expect you to forgive me but I promise I'll support you. Your my brother, and you don't always do what I want you too, but I can't control who you fall in love with any more than you can . . . So what I guess I'm saying is, I accept your marriage, I accept all the mistakes you've made because you're my brother and I love you despite it all. So please, Baekhyun, can you forgive me?"

Baekhyun just stood there, still and speechless, before muscle by muscle he came back to life. He felt tears roll down his cheek as he threw his arms around his brother's waist, who held him back, as Baekhyun hoarsely whispered into his chest, "I understand, but your actions will speak louder than your words . . ." Baekhyun trailed off as he let go of Sehun before pulling his phone out of his back pocket.

It rang once, and then Chanyeol was on the other line as he said:

"Hey, babe, how did it go?"

"It . . . it wasn't what I expected, but um, can you come up here? Please? Sehun would like to talk to you," Baekhyun said as he eyed his brother, who nervously rubbed the nape of his neck and shifted from foot to foot.

"Why . . .?" Chanyeol asked warily.

"Don't worry, Chanyeol, if he tries anything I'll throw him out the window. Just please, for me, listen to what he has to say."

Chanyeol sighed. "You're manipulative, Baek, you know I can't refuse you . . ."

Baekhyun smiled slyly and turned away from Sehun as he whispered, "Then why do you still try?"

"Maybe because I like the punishment too much to stop . . ." Chanyeol replied huskily.

"You better obey me now, Mr. Park."

"And if I don't, what will you do to me, dream boy?" Chanyeol breathed.

"Hmm . . . That's an excellent question, Mr. Park, I'll have to think about it while I have you bent over my knee."

"Ooh, my naughty boy."

Baekhyun's grin widened and he said, "Oh, Mr. Park, you haven't seen anything y—-"

"Baekhyun?" Sehun's voice broke through his consciousness.

Baekhyun sputtered and quickly hung up his phone, fumbling to shove it back into his pocket as spun around and squeaked, "Yes!"

Sehun pursed his lips against a laugh and asked, "Is Chanyeol coming?"

Baelhyun's cheeks reddened at the direction those words took his mind, and he shook them away as he quickly nodded and gasped, "Yes! Yes, he's coming up here now to listen to what you have to say."

"What do you think he'll say . . .?" Sehun quietly wondered.

Baekhyun sighed and slowly sat down as he softly replied, "He'll try his best to understand, because that's just who he is, but it might take him awhile to fully accept anything." Baekhyun trailed off before saying, "Sehun, you have to understand he's a forgiving guy, but what you did to him.... What you did to me, he'll judge you more based on that because he loves me and never wants to see me hurt and you've . . . You've hurt me so much, so you have to understand his point of view if he doesn't immediately accept your apology, because we'll both need time. Do you understand?"

Sehun nodded. "Of course, and I'll try my best to make it up to the both of you. I don't want to hurt you anymore . . ."

"Then you better start proving it . . ." Baekhyun whispered.
