Rating: PG-15
Summary: Baekhyun was sold to Exotic as slave and was brought by a man called Park Chanyeol
(Previous Chapter)
The morning sun was something that he lost for a few months and came to learn to love and appreciate it. In the past, he was never a morning person, except when he needs to wake up early for school, neither was a person who like to take a walk in the park. For the first time, he was actually enjoying it.
Baekhyun was practically running around. It’s been a long time since he was out in the open in the park. The sky was no longer just a piece of art that hangs at his room’s window. It seemed as if God finally realize that they weren’t fair to him and decided to give him back a proper life.
He really wanted to thank Chanyeol for all these. For treating him like a human, respecting him and giving him freedom. Although he couldn’t figure out why he chose him, he still felt grateful towards Chanyeol. He turned around to see the taller latter making himself comfortable at a nearby bench. He was yawning lazily on the bench, as if he didn’t have enough sleep. It made him pondered if Chanyeol made an extra effort in bringing him out early in the morning. He skipped to his side and sat down beside him.
“Thank you, Chanyeol-ssi” He was looking at him with his sincere eyes. If it wasn’t for him, he may be brought by some other man and tortured until the day he dies. Chanyeol lifted his hand up to ruffle Baekhyun’s hair.
“If you really want to thank me, drop all the formalities and be my friend.” It was the only wish that Chanyeol had in his mind all along and maybe sometimes wishing that they could be a little more than friends.
“Neh, Chanyeol.” Baekhyun smiled brightly at him, the smile that he loved for so many years. It felt as if his heart stopped for that moment as if he couldn’t breathe. Chanyeol averted his eyes away to cover up his nervous feelings. He stood up, hiding his expression from Baekhyun.
“Let’ go home.” Baekhyun nodded.
Home… Somewhere I can finally called it home.
“Neh.”
It was still early in the afternoon when they reached home, Kyungsoo was already there waiting for their arrival. A huge smile appeared on Chanyeol’s face when Kyungsoo came in sight. Baekhyun could see the relief smile on his face which made him wonder if there was really something between Kyungsoo and him.
“Welcome home.” Kyungsoo greeted. Baekhyun immediately went up to hug him but felt empty as Kyunsoo was immediately pulled away. Jongin snorted annoyingly as he wrapped his arms around Kyungsoo from behind. Baekhyun remembered the younger male, he was the one that brought him at Exotic. His expression was like a lion protecting his territory.
“This is Jongin. Don’t mind him, he’s just not good with people.” Baekhyun smiled awkwardly before taking a few steps back. Looking at the lovebirds in front of them, Baekhyun couldn’t help but to feel worry. He then looked at Chanyeol who was smiling away as he looked at the couple’s interaction. There wasn’t any hurt or bitter expression on his face at all.
Is it because Kyungsoo isn’t the one or you have already accepted the fact he’ll never be yours?
Or he isn’t the one?
“You know, I’m not a camera. You don’t have to go JPG-ing in front of me.” Chanyeol hit Baekhyun’s forehead playfully before moving away. Baekhyun pouted slightly while rubbing his forehead.
After their lunch, they started talking about business related stuff. Even Kyungsoo was actively participating in the conversation. Baekhyun on the other hand was lost with words. It was only then reality hit him hard on his face. He can never really be his friend. He was just someone he brought. Who knows maybe one day Chanyeol might get sick and tired of him and sell him back.
Baekhyun knows it clearly that going back wasn’t an option he would want to take. He doesn’t want to spend his whole life lying under different man for a living which means he has to start finding a way out. What are the things he can do? It’s not possible to pay back the money if he’s kept in the house all day.
After sending the Kaisoo couple off, the both of them settle back down at the couch with the television switch on. Knowing well that Baekhyun won’t initiate to sit close to him, he moved closer to Baekhyun.
“Are you tired? I saw you dazing off just now.” He caressed his hair slightly, staring at Baekhyun, eyes filled with concern.
“Chanyeol-ah…” Baekhyun mustered up his courage and looked straight into Chanyeol’s eyes.
“Hmm?” An image suddenly flash across his mind, it was an image of Chanyeol. He wasn’t smiling; his stares were cold, so cold that brought shivers down his spine. Baekhyun felt as if his courage was drain out of him.
“No, nothing. I think I’m just a little tired.” He lied as he looked away.
“Baekhyun-ah, actually I have something to ask you.” Chanyeol asked nervously.
“Do you want to work at my company?” Baekhyun brightens up almost immediately.
“I can? But what do I work as?” He had no experience at all in the working world. The moment when he can finally help out in his family’s company, his peaceful world collapsed.
“Personal secretary. As you can see Jongin and Kyungsoo are lovers. I can’t possible have Kyungsoo to be available all the time.” After witnessing Jongin’s possessiveness over Kyungsoo, he couldn’t disagree with him
“Are you sure? It’s been a while since I-” Baekhyun was worried that he can’t do a good job like how Kyungsoo did. What if he messed up? Chanyeol helped him so much, he doesn’t want to cause any trouble for him.
“If you don’t come and help me, I’ll lose track of time and die of exhaustion.” Chanyeol pouted and gave Baekhyun his puppy eyes hoping that he’ll agree to it.
“I’ll try my best.”
“Don’t worry, it’s not very hard. You just need to take note of my meeting and appointments. Make sure I have time to eat and rest.” He reassured and gave a small squeeze on his shoulder.
I know I’m selfish. But I still want to keep you by my side.
“You just write all his appointment in this book and report to him. Any reports and contract will be prepared by his secretary.” Kyungsoo explained and passed a planner book to Baekhyun. Kyungsoo’s handwriting was neat and tidy, the appointment for this week was already filled up.
“Sometime you might need to attend official parties or social event with him so make sure he doesn’t drink glasses given by some other than you. You are to make sure the drink you get wasn’t from someone’s hand. It’s would be best if you take drink that’s on the table for all.” Baekhyun nodded, he didn’t know it was so dangerous to be at a party or an event. Perhaps it’s the reason for the downfall of his family’s business.
“Yah, Kyungsoo, I’m not a kid you know.” Chanyeol sat down beside Baekhyun and took the book from his hands. He started reading through the appointment he has this week and mentally prepares himself for the upcoming event.
“I know but for safety. You’ll never know what they do to the water and maybe the next thing you know you are marrying some rich girl from another wealthy family.” Kyungsoo sounded more serious than usual, it seemed as if something like that did happen.
“Did something like that happen before?” Baekhyun asked.
“They did it before to Jongin but lucky the both of us were there.” Chanyeol face became serious after recalling what happened. It was really a close call for all of them. If not Jongin might have gotten married by now.
“Anyway, just be careful. Chanyeol’s family line is a little messy so I’m worried something like this might happen again. Anyway, I need to go now.” Baekhyun wanted to ask more about Chanyeol’s family line but it might be better to ask Chanyeol himself.
All these talk made Baekhyun feel a little worried. He’s worried that what if the same thing happened to Chanyeol and he didn’t manage to stop it.
After sending Kyungsoo to the door, he came back and saw Baekhyun’s sunken face.
“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you if something bad happens.” Chanyeol pat his head as he pulled the shorter male closer to him.
“Shouldn’t I be the one protecting you?” Baekhyun looked up to meet Chanyeol’s eyes.
“Does it matter? We are friends now. We should protect each other.” He flashed his confidence smile, hoping that it will cheer him up a little.
As long as nothing bad happens to you, I’ll be fine.
