The days ran together, but at the same time lasted an eternity. Chanyeol had said goodbye to Yoora on Saturday, and it was Sunday now, meaning tomorrow he would finally be going back to work and get the chance to ask Baekhyun about the pregnancy test he had found. His days, although long, had been tolerable with the presence of his sister. But now that she had left, he found himself sinking into a slump and sleeping the day away.

He couldn't believe how quickly his worrying and need for answers had ruined his Christmas holiday, a time he was suppose to be happy and spending time with his sister, but instead he had become best friends with his sofa.

When Monday morning finally came, Chanyeol woke up early and got ready at record time, and arrived for work an hour before he had too. He waited out in the break room, since it was the closest to the elevator and he would see when Baekhyun arrived for work. He felt kinda stalker-ish, but honestly couldn't think of anything else but to wait Baekhyun out, the burning need to know the truth reigniting every time he touched the pregnancy test he had tucked away in his pocket.

Baekhyun dressed for work in a snowman sweater, that Baekbeom had gotten him for Christmas, and put on his coat and hat before going outside to his car. The drive to work was a short one —- shorter than usual —- and he felt he was being dragged forward into a trap as he followed a few people onto the elevator.

When the elevator dinged and stopped on his floor level, he pulled his hat off and ran his hand through his hair to fix the messy strands. He was shoving it into his coat pocket when a sudden hand grabbed a hold of his wrist and spun him around. He gasped when he meet Chanyeol's eyes, and his mouth opened with silent words that never came.

Chanyeol searched his face before leaning his head down until his lips brushed over Baekhyun's ear when he whispered, "We have to talk."

Baekhyun gulped. "What do we have to talk about?" he causal asked, while shoving his hands into his coat pockets.

Chanyeol narrowed his eyes at Baekhyun's causal behavior, and without thinking, he whipped out the pregnancy test as he hissed, "Oh, I don't know, but maybe about the fact how you left this at my apartment."

Baekhyun gasped, and his eyes widened as he quickly snatched the pregnancy test out of Chanyeol's hand before shoving it deeply into his back pants pocket. "How did you—- I mean, what makes you think it's mine?"

"Are you kidding me?" Chanyeol laughed humorlessly. "How about because of the way you just reacted!"

"Keep your voice down!" Baekhyun hissed.

"Then you better explain to me why you decided to sleep with me, making you cheat on my best friend!" Chanyeol quietly yelled.

"I've never cheated a day in my life!" Baekhyun snapped.

"Then explain to me how you have that!" Chanyeol hushedly cried while pointing at the fading hickey mark on the side of Baekhyun's neck.

Baekhyun quickly covered it and hissed, "Park Chanyeol, I did not cheat on Sehun, we're....we're friends."

Chanyeol groaned and squeezed the bridge of his nose before quietly snapping, "Then please, explain to me what the hell is going on because I can't held this anymore! I can't stop worrying about you, Baekhyun, so please please tell me?"

Baekhyun sighed, and without thinking about it, his hand lifted to softly caress Chanyeol's cheek. His eyes were stormy with conflict, and then deciding to go against his better judgement, he leaned up on his tiptoes and delicately pecked Chanyeol's lips in a kiss before whispering, "I hope it's you...." And then he grabbed his hand, and tugged a slightly shocked Chanyeol along after him to find a private place they could talk without listening in ears.
