Chanyeol had never touched him like that again after that night.

Baekhyun was settled on the sofa in the living room, thoughts clouded his mind as he pretended on reading the contract EXOEnt provided him that morning. His recent contract was to expire the day after but after breakfast his manager, Kim Jongdae, barged in his apartment to give him the new contract. The scenario wasn't new though; for the past seven years, his agency never failed to ensure that Baekhyun---the star singer Baekhyun---would be signing up again with them right before the contract expired. And Jongdae would always be the one to deliver him that. Nothing was new at all.

Well, except for one thing.

Baekhyun wasn't alone this time. As he tried to focus reading his new contract, Chanyeol was there, beside him, hugging his waist and his head on his shoulder. Besides not being alone, it was also different as to how the singer was distracted. The fact that Chanyeol had never been intimate to him after the heat kept on bothering him, even with the important matter on his hand. He also noticed that Chanyeol tried to avoid giving him kisses on the lips, as possible. Just a few pecks. And worst, he didn't know the reason why. Baekhyun sighed, trying to sink in his mind what the damned contract was saying. The hybrid was giving him touches and sniffs on his shoulder every now and then, and Baekhyun was sure his cheeks weren't anywhere near the shade of his skin at all. Meanwhile Jongdae was just there, silently sitting on the sofa parallel to them, obviously staring.

"Did I... perhaps come here too early?"

Baekhyun almost jumped at his seat when, finally, Jongdae talked. The manager had that awkward look on his face, and though that was rare to happen with how noisy and upbeat of a person he was, Baekhyun was sure he saw it right. Jongdae might have thought he was disturbing something. Baekhyun glanced beside him, where Chanyeol was cooing and sticking to him like a new born puppy, and saw that the hybrid didn't even flinch with the sudden voices at all. In fact, he seemed like he didn't even care Manager Kim was there.

"No, it's fine!" Baekhyun must have said that loud. He breathed, looking at his manager apologetically. "Uhm.. I was just really spacing out, I'm sorry, Jongdae. I bingewatched an American series last night and I stayed up late, that's why." He reasoned out.

It was partly true, though. Baekyun really did bingewatch, but it wasn't an American series. Apparently in the middle of looking into his phone, the singer found himself watching videos of Chanyeol that he filmed for the past seven months they've been together. He spent all night adoring his tall and handsome of a hybrid boyfriend, constantly giving Chanyeol (who started sleeping on his room since they got together, which turned the master's bedroom as their bedroom) kisses on his face as he slept. But of course, he wouldn't say that to Jongdae.

The manager shifted on his seat. He couldn't decide if the singer told him the truth or if Baekhyun gave him a lame excuse, but he chose to understand. Anyways, the Sunday morning sun was still high up in the sky. Jongdae couldn't argue. Baekhyun was never a morning person. It was just the contract really came to him so early, by chance. "Alright, then. You can read it later." Jongdae stood up. "I'll just come back tomorrow. It doesn't have to be signed right away, anyway. I just wanted to see if you've got any opinion on some conditions that were changed."
