Once A Park : Cry For Love

" You're not supposed to care. "

Chanyeol watched Baekhyun's small frame disappearing to the bathroom, he was frozen to where he was standing, he can feel the familiar heaviness on his chest. You're not supposed to care. Those five words that Baekhyun uttered concluded how bad he treated Baekhyun , that he never cared since they got married and it gives Chanyeol an agonizing feeling.

Chanyeol rubbed his big hand on his face out of frustration. He wants to know what really happened to him but Chanyeol doubted if Baekhyun will tell it to him. He took a glance at the closed door once again hearing the water running inside. He went to his room and called someone.

" Whats up, man? "

" Heechul, I want you to find me something.. "

" Shoot! It's been awhile.. "

" My hus- friend, had been missing for few days but he is home now. I want you to find out where he has been and what happened to him while he is missing."

" You said he is home. Why not just ask him?"

" If it just as simple as that, I wouldn't asking you just now. "

" You got a point! " Heechul laughed on the other line. He is a private investigator that their company used for background checking. He is one of Yoora's closest friends while they were in the university. He and Chanyeol somehow got close despite of the ten years age gap. " What's his name and the date he were missing?"

" Byun Baekhyun. May 5-9th. Just last week.."

" Byun Baekhyun? You mean your husband?! "

" The fuck?! Where did you get that?!" Chanyeol was surprised or maybe not.

" Yoora told me. " Heechul said with a nonchalant tone. " And don't worry. Your secret is safe with me, you know that Channy. "

Chanyeol sighed. " Please help me with this one hyung. " Chanyeol only call Heechul " hyung " when he is serious.

" Leave it to me, I will get back to you ASAP. "

" Thanks hyung." Chanyeol cut the call and slumped down on his chair. He feels suffocated just looking at the paperworks on his table while his mind went to the person inside the bathroom.

Baekhyun entered the house and was welcomed with smell of food being cooked, but the appetizing smell didn't help much regarding Baekhyun's lost of appetite. He just came back from his therapy session with the psychologist that his doctor arranged for him. Baekhyun have been attending everyday since he was discharged from the hospital. He is doing it diligently because he wants to help his self to get better soon. Baekhyun is exhausted from waking up in fear and horror every time he closes his eyes. He wants to overcome it as soon as he can. But what most fears Baekhyun is the thought of losing Chanyeol, the same thought that bringing him down to depression. Baekhyun is trying so hard to pull himself together but the more he tries, the more defeated he feels.

" Baekhyun-shi! " Min-ah greets him cheerfully. She can feel the dark clouds that looming around Baekhyun. " Let's eat together! "

" Uhmm.. You haven't eaten yet? " Baekhyun looks at the clock hanging on the wall. 2.15 pm it says.

" I just finished cooking and I'm waiting for you. " She smiles at him.
