For the better [baekyeon]

Thirty six.

Chapter 36.

Third person's P.O.V

"Will you stop sulking around, Byunbaek?" Baekhyun's friend, Kyungsoo said with his signature poker face.

"Im not sulking around, Kyungsoo." Baekhyun sighed, sitting on the couch opposite to him.

"Yeah you're always zoning out into blank space and rarely talk to me. That's not sulking around, right?" Kyungsoo pointed out.

"You rarely talk to me either," Baekhyun said.

"Well I rarely talk to everyone, you know that." Kyungsoo said, his expression not changing.

"You know what? Im going to invite my friends over." Kyungsoo said, grabbing his phone.

"Are they emotionless like you? Uh bro, don't bother."

"Exact opposite, Byunbaek." Kyungsoo said.

"Even worse. Don't bother. I'll try to move tomorrow, I promise." Baekhyun said. He hated noisy people, it just reminds him of Irene.

Irene. The girl who always drags him to bars, clubs and whatever place that has eardrum breaking noises. Irene was the exact opposite of Taeyeon, he wonders if they are really sisters. Taeyeon likes to be in a calm place, losing some tensed nerves. While Irene her, is the leaving epitome of "You only live once" he can't remember how many times Irene beat red lights.

Irene actually thought Baekhyun loved her again, but once the damage is made, nothing will be the same again. Just like what happened to him and Taeyeon, he could've fought for her, but he knows it just kills her everytime he tries.

Baekhyun has experienced all of this, the betrayal of a sibling and a lover. He knows how painful it is, so he'll just let Taeyeon be.

That is if he can..

Taeyeon's P.O.V

Everything is well and fine now. Not every day is rainbows and butterflies, but unlike before. Its so much better. Though something felt like missing. It feels like I haven't accomplished something, I feel incomplete. Like a jigsaw puzzle, a puzzle piece is missing.

Irene. We're on better terms now, I already forgave her for everything. She's pregnant, and it's her birth month to be exact. She met a guy named Sehun while she was drinking herself to death because of Baekhyun. Sehun is a year younger than her, but despite the age gap. Irene changed, she's more joyful, she's more blooming. And it's because of Sehun. They married each other at the first year of their relationship.

Key. I bumped to him at the mall a few weeks ago, got talking in a café. I feel like a huge stone was removed from my chest when we already had our closure. It was so much easier to breathe.

Taehyung. My father didn't like him that much, he always say "Baekhyun is so much better," "Baekhyun will go over you," Baekhyun this Baekhyun that. But like I said before, I won't leave him until he ask me to. And we're still adjusting to everything, hand-in-hand. It has been two years and three months since I said yes to him. But no plans of marriage or such. It's not always good for us, there are times where we wanted to break up. But he'll come after me at the end.

"Good morning Ma'am, what is the meeting about?" I said as I enter Ms. Park's office.

"No need to be formal, unnie." She rolled her eyes. And I just shook my head lightly at her childish gesture.

She's Sooyoung, Park Sooyoung I call her Joy for short, as she is a bundle of Joy. She's the heiress of this hotel. At the age of twenty two she's already handling this business. And she's good at it, but sometimes pressure creeps onto her and as an unnie, I should calm her down. She also asks for some advices saying Im three years older, so I know more.
