Chapter 25

                                    

                                          
That night, Baekhyun did not go to Chanyeol's house. He went back to his own house where he shared with Kyungsoo. He cried on his way home and when he finally reached. 
He hated himself for being so weak whenever Chanyeol was involved. Dating Chanyeol made him lose every strength in him. Why? Because the CEO made him depend on him for protection. But he guessed wrong. 
Chanyeol can't even protect himself, talk more of Baekhyun. 
He told kyungsoo all that has happened, and Kyungsoo felt so bad. "I'm so sorry Baekhyun. I'm so sorry you had to go through this." Kyungsoo cried alongside his friend, as he consoled him. 
"It's over Kyungsoo. I can't do this anymore." Baekhyun buried his teary, red, flushed face into Kyungsoo's chest. 
"Shhhh. I know you're angry and broken. But please Baekkie, don't say things you don't mean. I promise you everything will be alright." he hugged Baekhyun to himself. 
"You don't get it Kyungsoo, I have been crying ever since I met Chanyeol. I don't know, maybe I love him too much. That's why it's so easy for them to hurt me. This is not me Kyungsoo. I hate him." Baekhyun cried. 
"Shhh it's okay Baekkie. I'm here."

Chanyeol himself got home, Weak, and devastated. He had a serious fight with his father. A serious one that his dad had to ask his guards to throw the CEO out of his compound. 
But, apart from that, Chanyeol kept thinking about the younger and how angry he was. He missed Baekhyun. He really wanted to hug him and tell him that he believed him. He wanted to look into Baekhyun's eyes and tell him that he loves him. But Baekhyun...would Baekhyun still give him a chance? 
He got down from his car and walked into his house. Holding his tears all this while. The last time he felt like this was when his parents got divorced. He cried so hard then. And now Baekhyun left him too. 
The CEO kept his guard down and cried out inside his living room. No one was home. He was all alone in solitude. He cried. Soon he felt something soft and fluffy. And then he saw mongryong. Baekhyun's puppy. Looking at him with worry and as well seeking for love and attention. The CEO picked little mongryong up. He dialed Baekhyun's number and it rang. But got aborted and finally switched off. Chanyeol hugged the puppy and cried even more. 
The next day was Monday. So Baekhyun thought going over to the CEO's office to talk things through would be best. At least, for the sake of what they had.
Chanyeol was sitting inside his office. Checking his phone every now and then. No message, no calls. Baekhyun's phone was still switched off. He grabbed his suit jacket and was about going in search of the younger when a soft knock ensued from outside. 
He paused. "Come in," he said and Irene walked in. Chanyeol frowned. 
"What are you doing here? Who let you up here?" Chanyeol yelled. He hated her for what she did to Baekhyun. 
"Relax Chanyeol. I come in peace." She rolled her eyes, and sat down on his office visitor's seat. 
"I never asked you to sit Irene. Get out!" the CEO spat. "You should be in jail. Not my office."
Irene laughed wickedly. 
"Seems you forgot whose daughter I am. My father will never let me stay in jail for a minute. My skin will burn, and you won't like that Chanyeol."
"Like I care?" The CEO snorted, wearing his jacket. "I'm about going out. Could you please, leave my office? Don't make me throw you out myself." he warned, and Irene stood.
