Once A Park : Love Again

One Last Cry

Baekhyun couldn't sleep. He reached for his phone and checked the time, it is past eleven in the evening. He sighed and gave up the idea of sleeping. He needs a drink. The whole day has been shitty for Baekhyun, the killer headache that he's been trying to nurse only to get alot worst after knowing whose company they are trying to win. Baekhyun's inside is in havoc while trying to appear unbothered and confident on the outside. Seeing Chanyeol being married and expecting a baby with Yeri and the fact that the three of them might be working together in the future is giving Baekhyun new doses of pain, leaving him unsure on how to get through the next days with his ex-husband and his half-sister around. His only comfort is Luhan is coming to his side and everything will be alright. Luhan is his pillar.

Baekhyun got out of bed and changed his pajamas to a casual outfit, he thought of going downstairs, maybe go to the VIP bar to get a drink or two to help him sleep. He knows that he is not allowed to touch alcohol but thinking that Jongdae will not found out gives him a slight confidence to sneak out for a drink. He checked himself in the mirror, satisfied that other than the old hickeys from the bastard, Eun Woo sticks with the rules. It's been an hour since the man left his room and yet he can still feel Eun Woo's tongue on his skin. Baekhyun sighs. Eun Woo is smart, funny and very handsome. He is a charmer too and a good kisser and most of all, a good conversationalist , but just like those other guys he kisses and made out in the past years, he can't allow himself to go further than the normal kissing and groping. Baekhyun doesn't want to even think of the question -  " Why? ".

Tonight was less heated compared from their past make out sessions and Eun Woo noticed that Baekhyun was really out of it. Baekhyun told him about his hang over and that he was really just tired from the whole bidding thing. When truth is, making out with someone without alcohol in Baekhyun's system only makes him uncomfortable. Because he never make out with someone unless he is very drunk. And this was the first time he actually did it without the influence of an alcoholic drink. And the other reason is mainly because Chanyeol never leaves his mind while sucking tongue with Eun Woo and that makes Baekhyun distracted and partly feeling pathetic. Baekhyun knows that Chanyeol was watching him and Eun Woo earlier in the VIP lounge, he can feel his ex-husband's stares burning hole on his back. And for the life of him, Baekhyun wonders why Chanyeol still hates him that much when he already did let go of Chanyeol to be with the one that he loves even it cost Baekhyun to almost lost his own life.

Baekhyun let out another sigh before heading to the door fetching his phone, key card and wallet along the way which he secured on his back pockets before going to the lift praying Jongdae won't check up on him while he's gone.

Baekhyun entered the dimly lit lounge wondering why there's no one inside besides the bartender who gives him a surprised look. Is the bar close? It's still early though. Baekhyun walks towards the bar giving the bartender a small smile, who shifted his gaze in the corner of the room looking slight panic and shy but when he turns again to Baekhyun, the bartender gives him a polite smile.

" Good evening, sir.." The bartender greeted Baekhyun, slightly taken aback seeing Baekhyun's face fully thanks to the light coming from the bar.

" Good evening. I was wondering if the bar is close? " Baekhyun looks around seeing no one is there besides him and the bartender guy.

" It is, sir. I'm closing for the night. "

" Oh! I'm planning to get a drink or two, hoping it will help me sleep faster. " Baekhyun gave him a friendly smile.

" Then I can wait for you, sir, but I need to close the door so no one can come inside anymore. " The guy was interrupted by the tone of his own cellphone. He reads the message quickly before turning to Baekhyun again.
