Lost and Found

26: Feel This Moment

Baekhyun entered his floor smiling and bubbly as always. But he was immediately stopped in his tracks when six pairs of eyes were on him the moment he went past the door.

"Good morning, everyone. Why are you all looking at me like that? Is something wrong?" Baekhyun let out a series of awkward laughter.

"Who is it? Spill the beans," Irene was looking at him with suspicion.

"The person who's courting you. Who is it?" Seulgi was pressuring Baekhyun.

"What are you talking about, nuna?" Baekhyun was getting nervous.

"Baekhyun-ssi, no one in their right mind would casually gift anyone two boxes of premium strawberries, a strawberry latte in the largest size possible, and a bouquet of pink roses. Someone must be trying to woo you," Joy pointed to his table.

"And besides, weeks ago, you also received a large bouquet of red roses," Yeri reminded everyone.

"So, who is it?" Wendy and the rest were flocking around Baekhyun.

"No idea?" Baekhyun said with a denial smile, he definitely knew who had done it.

"We will get to the truth, Baekhyun. And when we do, we won't stop teasing you about it," Irene and the rest cackled.

"Be my guest," Baekhyun grinned.

The rest of the day went on as usual for the department. But one unusual thing happened which broke the mundanity of the situation. Baekhyun was just peacefully eating his strawberries when the intern, Sam Jiltu, suddenly raised his voice.

"Can you stop it, Baekhyun-ssi? How insensitive of you to eat that in our midst knowing that we can't afford it," Jiltu walked out of the office.

"What's wrong with her?" Joy was startled.

"If she wanted some more, she could have just asked," Seulgi mumbled.

"More? What do you mean 'more'?" Baekhyun was confused.

"Whoever sent you the gifts was considerate enough to each give us a small box of premium strawberries," Irene revealed. "It seemed it was her first time receiving and tasting such a luxurious gift so she might have been envious of your two boxes."

"She was jealous of your bouquet before too," Yeri and her impeccable memory.

Their conversation was interrupted by Lucy, the receptionist, "Baekhyun-ssi, the legend of fire called for you in his office. It was something about a complaint against you and he sounds angry."

Sending him off with worried glances, Baekhyun left his office and entered Chanyeol's. Baekhyun was slightly intimidated by the heavy atmosphere.

"Sit," Chanyeol's tone was cold.

"Yeol, I—" Baekhyun took a seat on one of the sofas and was about to apologize.

Chanyeol lay down on the sofa with his head on Baekhyun's lap, "I've missed you."

"Wha— Are you not going to scold me or something?"

"Why would I do that?"

"The intern and the complaint..." Baekhyun trailed off.

"Ah, that? Yes, I was slightly irritated she just barged in without prior notice and complained about you. Who does she even think she is? Complaining about you to me," Chanyeol sighed. "That is why I called for you– to calm me down."
