Once A Park : Love Again

Leave Him Alone

Baekhyun breath hitched when he came face to face with Chanyeol but he managed to appear calm and keeps his emotions in check. Baekhyun didn't back down when Chanyeol held his stare. They stares at each other for some time, both their expressions unreadable.

" I can say that my presence still unwelcome. " Baekhyun broke the silence between them and let out a lopsided grin but his eyes bear no emotions. Chanyeol's stares is starting to get him.

Chanyeol did not answer but his eyes averted from Baekhyun's face to his neck. Chanyeol's big hand balled into fist, his jaw is clenching hard. Baekhyun wanted to cover his neck with his hand because of Chanyeol's reaction but refrained his self in doing so. Let him stare all he wants.

" You see, Mr. Park, I didn't know that we will going to cross paths here now. If I only knew..."

" If you only knew then what? You will hide again? " Chanyeol cuts him, his tone is cold but his eyes are saying something else.

" Hide? Why should I hide? " Baekhyun's eyes widen. "Do I still owe you or something? If I remember it right, I compensated you already, Mr. Park. I even divorced you so you can live a happy life with the person you truly love. " Baekhyun felt his chest tightened by recalling the day he left Chanyeol, it still hurts him like it just happened yesterday, but he will never let Chanyeol see through him. Baekhyun looks straight to the giant's eyes, a smile is playing on his lips.

" Is the compensations were not enough? " Baekhyun tilted his head exposing his delicate marked neck more to Chanyeol's eyes. " Tell me , Mr. Park, how much more you want me to compensate you? " Baekhyun stepped closer to Chanyeol who's watching his every moves, he stopped a meter away from Chanyeol without breaking their eye contacts. " I might not as rich as you but maybe I can meet your demands. " Baekhyun gives him a cocky smile.

" Baekhyun... "  Chanyeol gritted his teeth and stepped forward to Baekhyun when Yeri called him.

" Yeol?! " Yeri came closer, worries in her eyes.

" Hello, Mrs. Park. " Baekhyun smiles at his half-sister but it didn't reach his eyes. " It's been awhile, isn't it? " Baekhyun glanced at Yeri's tummy then back to Chanyeol. " Congratulations. "

" Baekhyun.. " Yeri faced Baekhyun. " Let's talk. "

" Talk? About what? " Baekhyun scrunched his eyebrows. " Listen. Me being here is already uncomfortable for me and maybe for you as well. But I'm a professional person and I believed you are too. Why not make things easier for all of us by not mentioning about the past? If it's nothing to do with this project, then there's no need for the three of us to interact. " Baekhyun said in a serious voice. " I will stay only in two days until our participation in this bidding ends. If you decided to give this project to us, I can assure you that you will not directly working with me. I have professional staff to do the job. My involvement in this project will end after we sign the contract. If you think you don't want anything to do with me, it's fine too. We can end it here and we can all pretend this meeting never happened. "

" It's not only for us to decide. " Yeri said softly.

" Should I withdraw then? " Baekhyun said , eyes challenging Yeri.

" No.." Yeri let out a sigh. " But Baekhyun.."

" Baekhyun! " Jongdae rushed to them, eyes on Chanyeol. " We will proceed to the next bidding. " He informed Baekhyun. Jongdae can actually feel the tensions in the air. He held Baekhyun's hand and faced Chanyeol and Yeri. " If you excuse us, I need to take Baekhyun to the hospital. "

" Are you sick? " Chanyeol asked Baekhyun directly.

" Nothing that you need to care for. " Baekhyun deadpanned him. " Excuse me. " He then left without looking back, leaving Jongdae behind too.

" Uhmm.. Excuse me too. I need to go with him. " Jongdae gave them a farewell bow.

" Is he sick?" Chanyeol repeated his question but this time in a more authoritative voice. Jongdae left with no choice but to answer.

" Like what Baekhyun said, it's none of your business. But to answer your question, he's been suffering from severe headaches since we came here. Maybe because of the alcohol since he always party hard. He owned one of the most elite club is Beijing that's why he loves to party. And I suspected that he is suffering from alcohol poisoning and I want him to be check in the hospital. " Jongdae explains with a raised eyebrow, watching Chanyeol's reaction closely.

" If that enough answers for you, Mr. Park then I will take my leave. " Jongdae glanced at Yeri before turned his back on them but he stopped and faced them again.

" If we happens to work together in the future, I will appreciate it if the two of you will leave Baekhyun alone. " He held Chanyeol's stares for awhile before continue walking away, leaving Chanyeol and Yeri perplexed.

A/N:

Been busy these past few days and my mind is in chaos. Chanyeol will be having a fancon here in Hong Kong and after a month of being indecisive wether to go or not, I decided to go and watch the fancon.
