Summary: Baekhyun is Chanyeol's independent Corgi hybrid* who works as his Secretary. But as his owner, Chanyeol hopes that someday, Baekhyun will come to rely on him more.

(*Hybrid - half-human, half-animal)

"Boyfriend?"

"Exactly!"

Sehun furiously pounds his fist against the table, nodding his head like a creep. Luhan, who's a little embarrassed about his owner's enthusiasm, only clears his throat and sips his tea. It's breaktime right now, and they don't actually have to worry about slacking off from work because the CEO himself is right here in front of them. Chanyeol must be bored in his office all by himself so he went down to the lounge and decided to chat, or he must be seeking for advice and he needs something. There's nothing in between.

Intrigued, Chanyeol curiously leans in closer to the huddle, looking around the busy place with employees basically not giving a damn about their surroundings. He clears his throat, drumming his fingers on the table.

"Are you sure that's what Baekhyun wants? A boyfriend?"

Luhan and Sehun exchange knowing looks, as if mentally yelling to each other finally, the idiot is gonna make a move!

"Yes! Baekhyun wants to have a boyfriend!" Sehun confirms, eyeing Luhan beside him and wiggling his eyebrows suggestively, "I mean, isn't it obvious, Chanyeol? He's already on that phase of his life to go out on a date, you know. To have someone to call his lover. Right, baby?"

"Yep! As a fellow hybrid and as Baekhyun's friend, I can definitely tell that your pet is yearning for love," Luhan explains, purposely emphasizing each word of his sentence, "He's just, ehem, waiting for someone to come and ask him out on a date. Baekhyun hasn't been in a relationship before because he's been too focused on his career. But now, I think he's ready to have a boyfriend!"

"True! He already likes someone, after all!"

Chanyeol's eyes enlarge, surprised.

"He already likes someone? Really?"

Luhan freezes, lowkey elbowing Sehun and whispering within gritted teeth as he chuckles awkwardly, "Don't. Tell him. Everything, you stupid shit. Ha-ha-ha."

Sehun laughs exaggerated, going to Chanyeol's side and slinging a friendly arm around his shoulder, "W-what I mean is that! He must've already liked someone! Hahaha! Why don't you try asking him?"

"Yeah! It'll be better to ask Baekhyun himself about what he wants, right? We won't be much help anyway."

Chanyeol shakes his head, smiling. "No. You helped a lot. Thanks." He clasps the couple's shoulders before he leaves, nodding to himself. "Boyfriend? Hmm. Why didn't I think of that sooner?"

Sehun's eyes follow Chanyeol's disappearing back, "You think he's gonna finally realize?"

Luhan shrugs noncommittally, "He reminds me of you before we even started dating."
