[ play the music on the mm coz it's suit for the theme for this chapter lol ]

Chanyeol harshly opened the door of his penthouse and instantly grabbed the bottle of whiskey and drank it. Chanyeol doesn't know why he did that to Baekhyun. Maybe he was carried away by anger, emotions. He still can't move on, so everything is still fresh with him.

A few hours later, Chanyeol finished the whiskey and fell asleep. He woke up with a headache. It's another day, and he will probably meet Baekhyun again. Because they are going to the Hotel that Byun Company builds to inspect the complete building.

Chanyeol stood up and took a shower. He stared in the mirror again to see himself. He knew that he changed. He has no intention of hurting anyone. He didn't like that, and even more, he didn't want to see a person cry.

Baekhyun faced Chanyeol with no emotion. Chanyeol could feel the cold ambiance from Baekhyun. They are the only two here and their secretary. "Good morning, Mr. Byun." Yixing greeted. Baekhyun just nodded and said, "Morning."

Chanyeol raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me, Mr. Park, can we start this as soon as possible? I still have work to do." Baekhyun said coldly. Chanyeol gave Baekhyun a stern look. "Hyung, can Mr. Byun and I just peek at the building, just wait for me in the parking lot." Baekhyun was startled by what Chanyeol said. "But Mr.Byun-" Baekhyun told his secretary that It's okay. Their secretaries were left in the Parking Lot, and the two of them reached the building.

Baekhyun didn't speak and was walking straight. Chanyeol put his hand in his pocket. "I don't need to apologize to you, do I?" Baekhyun didn't look at Chanyeol but just kept walking. "I'm sorry but, can you not talk to me as your EX? Because I'm here to work." Baekhyun said coldly. "Is that so? Oh yeah...you are Byun Baekhyun. Number 1 Businessman of Korea. How did I forget that?" said Chanyeol and faked a laugh. Baekhyun stopped walking and slowly faced Chanyeol.

"Chanyeol."

Chanyeol was surprised when Baekhyun lowered his head and started to apologize.

"I'm sorry but, This is the last time I will talk to you as the EX you hate the most. I'm sorry if, until now, you can still see my face. I'm sorry if you said I cheated and lied to you. I'm sorry if I chased you. I'm sorry if I'm annoying. No matter what I do to explain everything to you, I know you won't believe me. I know you're still mad at me. I know you blame me for everything. But don't worry..."

"I'm tired. One night is enough for me to decide for myself because I am exhausted. I'm sorry if I loved you this much. I'm sorry if...I'm so stupid when It comes to you. But as I said. This is the last time I will tell you all this. We probably meet each other frequently because you are no longer the old Chanyeol back then. And I know you'll understand too. So if we meet again, please don't think that I have become a part of your life. Because for me? I'm happy that you became a part of my life...I'm happy that you loved me...I'm happy that you made me feel the things I haven't felt in my whole life. I was happy, though...When I was with you, I was happy, and you made me accept who I am. So I am thankful that you came into my life." A tear escapes from Baekhyun's eyes, but he is still smiling.

Chanyeol couldn't speak. He can't describe his emotions. He was hurt too. He wanted to hug Baekhyun but, he didn't know why he can't move his body. Baekhyun gave the floor plan to Chanyeol. "I'm sorry. I can't go around with you. Here's the floor plan. I'm leaving." Baekhyun turned around and walked away.

Chanyeol wants to chase him, but his foot can't move at all. He tried to run and hug Baekhyun. But he can't move his body.

A few weeks passed, and the day of the opening of Mr.Park's Hotel came, there were all the vast business corporations and some artists. Mr. Park prepared a grand opening party for everyone. Reporters and some Media gathered in the area.

"Chanyeol, are you okay?" Mr.Park asked. Chanyeol smiled and nodded. "I'm fine, Abeoji. Do you need anything? Do you want something to drink?" The older man laughed. He can see that Chanyeol is nervous. Chanyeol is new to the business world, and this is his first time. "Don't worry. I'm here." The older man patted Chanyeol on the shoulder until the party started.

"Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen! I'm your MC today, and we will be celebrating the opening of Park Hotel and Casino! This party was made by Chairman Park Chanho, together with his grandson. Park Chanyeol!" Everyone applauded.

"Please welcome, Mr. Park Chanho for a speech!"

Mr.Park went on stage with Chanyeol. The guests applauded when everyone saw them. "First of all, Thank you to those who attended and supported my business! Especially to the Byun Company that made this building. I have nothing to say because it was quickly and beautifully constructed. Thank God I didn't make the wrong choice." Mr.Park said, and the people laughed. "Before I end my speech, I want to introduce to all of you my one and only heir, my grandson Chanyeol." Mr.Park said, and Chanyeol bowed to everyone.

When the speech is over, Mr. Park talks to the other guests first to get to know him, so Chanyeol strolls around and entertains the guests.

"Thank you for coming. We appreciate it." Chanyeol said smiling.

"Park Chanyeol?" Chanyeol turned around and saw a woman. It was beautiful, and she's wearing a fancy dress. Chanyeol frowned as the woman walks towards him.

"Oh, I'm Kim Taeyeon from the KIM group." The woman smiled, and Chanyeol's eyes widened as he recognized the woman's face.

"Aren't you...Byun Baekhyun's Wife?" Chanyeol asked. The woman stopped and looked at Chanyeol.

"Yes, I am..."
