his name is yuan. - 찬백

2 - baekhyun's p.o.v.

"so, where are you off to?" kyungsoo asks me after cracking his neck, he just sent our output to the secretary. i'm proud because we were ahead of the deadline.

"milk and beer," i shrugged, pretty much. it's friday today, so i have no work tomorrow since it's my day off.

i have day offs twice in a month since saturday is the most relaxing day for work, unless there's a very ultra mega super big project. well, right now, there's none so, all is good.

"how about you?" i asked kyungsoo. the team leader is very sensitive with his emotions. he gets anxious over the simplest of the most things, so i'm here to always reassure him. never realized it was part of my job to be the adhesive of the group when things go wrong and kyungsoo goes off on a rant.

"i'll probably masturbate till my sadness goes away, i deserve it," i nodded. that's so kyungsoo.

"people really loved last month's graphics, i'm very proud of you," i grinned, flicking his forehead. kyungsoo is younger than me, but the stress he carries as a team leader is overwhelming, even i, an already grown-ass man can't handle it sometimes. but my amazing team leader handles it with the best of his abilities.

i'm so proud of my squishy kyungsoo.

"thanks, baekhyun. thanks for your hardwork too," he smiled, and i reached out to pat his shoulder. i do what i can to help him because that's my job.

"see you," i bid my goodbyes and gathered my stuff, listed my time out and used the silver elevator, next to the gold one, to go to the parking lot.

i went to my mint green bicycle, a present from one of my ex. a few of the only items that i kept from all those that he gave me. i placed my bag at the basket in front of it and took the chains off it.

commuting is a hassle, and using my bicycle saves me money, and besides, my apartment isn't that far awar from work so i use this instead.

the buzz of the busy streets reached my ears as i rode off on my bike, of course i have a helmet. it's a matte black with pororo stickers, credits to my bubbly baby boy for placing it nicely.

sometimes, when it's my day off, i bring yuan to my childhood home in bucheon, so he and i can rode my bicycle in the fields. of course, sehun joins us with his big car, a gift from his fans. we use the car to go back home, until yuan cries for his bigass teddy bear that's bigger than him, so we can't bring it with us. it's sehun's fault for buying a bear that's even bigger than me and gifting it to my child the moment he was born.

while me and my son ride our bike, sehun sleeps all day. we eat lunch at my parent's old house, perfectly cooked by me, then he sleeps there.

hearing my son's excited laughs and screams makes my heart flutter, i want him to have the best childhood ever. even if it's just me, him, sehun and sehun's pet dog vivi, who i forgot to mention, loves yuan so much.

the day i brought back yuan from the hospital, a week after he was born, vivi was surprisingly excited for my boy. vivi guarded his crib when he was a baby and now that my yuan is a bit bigger now, vivi always sleeps at the foot of yuan's bed, licking him awake in the morning.

even though sehun got a little jealous because vivi was never sweet to him, he can't blame the dog.

everyone loves yuan. even my co-workers.

as i arrived at the store, i parked my bike, chained it, and went inside with my bag. it was a small store that helped me when i was a struggling parent with a newborn with no job.

even though sehun always offered me money, i always declined. ever since i had yuan, i learned to be independent and not depend on others in times of need. i learned to be brave, to not be anxious whenever i ask a store staff to reach a tall part of the shelf whenever i can't reach it, and overall be a mature parent that i am today.
