It was early the next morning when Chanyeol drove Baekhyun home. Chanyeol didn't want to leave Baekhyun alone, but after a lot of arguing back and forth, they finally agreed on a bodyguard —- even if both of them hated the idea. Baekhyun was too proud to be happy with someone following him around all day; and Chanyeol just wanted to selfishly keep Baekhyun hidden away with him all day. But neither of them could have their way, so they had to settle for a compromise.

Baekhyun was getting ready to go into the station when his phone started to ring, and he wanted to ignore it, but knew if it was Chanyeol he would show up in as bundle of mixed emotions on Baekhyun's doorstep and never leave him alone. Baekhyun sighed as he looked around for his phone, before answering it despite the unknown caller ID, since Chanyeol could be using a disposable phone.

"Hello, Chanyeol?" Baekhyun asked upon answering.

"Guess again, little bird," an unfamiliar voice replied.

Baekhyun's body froze, and he heard his heart immediately pick-up in barely contained panic. "Wu . . . How did you get this number?" he demanded.

Wu chuckled, and replied, "Do you really think Chanyeol is the only one with an inside man? How naive of you, Byun Baekhyun."

"What do you want?" Baekhyun asked.

"Good question, Baekhyun. What do I want.... Hmm? Let's see, I want Park Chanyeol dead," he said.

"That will never happen," Baekhyun firmly replied.

"Oh? Are you going to protect him then, the person who is forcing your hand?"

"Chanyeol isn't forcing me to do anything," Baekhyun said. "Now I suggest you find yourself another hobby, before I find you and put a bullet between your eyes."

"I'd like to see you try," Wu said before the line went dead.

Baekhyun's heartbeat was still racing erratically, and his breaths were coming in short fast bursts as his mind raced. So Wu has someone working for him on the inside . . . Does that mean the person helping him is a part of the police? Or a person in government? Baekhyun wondered as he rubbed his temple; a headache was starting to brew. It could be anybody in any part of the law, so what could be easier than narrowing that down?

"Fuck, we're screwed . . ." Baekhyun muttered to himself before hurrying out of his house. He wasn't going to tell Chanyeol anything until he figured out a plan, and had information that was actually useful.

When Baekhyun walked into the police station and went to his desk, Sehun wasn't immediately there demanding where he had been. Baekhyun found that odd, what with everything going on recently, but he was also grateful because it gave him more time to think. He was busily typing away on his computer when a familiar presence walked up behind him and perched onto the side of his desk.

Baekhyun glanced up at Sehun, already preparing himself for an earful of disapproval. But when Baekhyun glanced up, Sehun wasn't looking at him in disapproval, in fact he wasn't looking at him at all. Sehun was too focused on the man beside him, and Baekhyun too, was even temporary stunned by his beauty. The man was on the smaller side, and had a surprisingly feminine face with deep brown eyes and a kind smile.

Baekhyun frowned at them, and muttered, "Hello.... And you are?"

The man stepped forward with a smile, and shook Baekhyun's hand as he replied, "Xi Luhan, I just transferred in yesterday. Nice to finally meet you, Baekhyun, I've heard so much about you from Sehun."

"O-Oh, have you now?" Baekhyun replied. "And what has Sehun told you?"

"He said you're one of his best friends, and that you're trustworthy and will do anything to help the people you love . . ." Luhan replied, his words sending tingles down Baekhyun's back. Then Luhan suddenly chuckled, and broke the strange trace. "Sorry, that sounded really weird. Can we forget that happened?" Luhan asked with another chuckle.

Baekhyun smiled thinly, and replied, "Sure . . . So what brings you to Seoul, Luhan?"

Luhan smiled, and there was something about it that Baekhyun couldn't quite put his finger on. "I'm just here for a friend," Luhan replied, simply.

Baekhyun's frown deepened, and he replied, "Oh really, so am I . . ."

Luhan smiled, and that time Baekhyin definitely saw something hidden underneath. "This should be fun then," Luhan replied, and both of them knew, neither was talking about work.

A/N: So, a lot of crap is probably about to happen. Do you guys have any idea what Baekhyun might do next? Will he tell Chanyeol what he so importantly found out, or choose to resolve it himself? Join me on the next update to find out!

Thanks for reading, have a wonderful day/night!
