The atmosphere in Chanyeol's living room was tense, and Baekhyun could sense that his boss sitting across from him wasn't in the mood for any frivolity. While he understood that a straightforward yes or no response was required, Baekhyun was cautious not to mislead Chanyeol with false information regarding Sehun.
"Baekhyun?" As seconds passed, Chanyeol's patience waned, a fact clearly visible in his eyes.
Baekhyun began, "I didn't go out with Sehun by choice. I accompanied Sehun to assist my best friend, who had stood him up on their intended date."
This explanation prompted a frown from Chanyeol. Was this some sort of joke? Baekhyun had gone to fill in for a friend who had turned Sehun down? When had Baekhyun become a relationship peacekeeper? Chanyeol scoffed, shaking his head disapprovingly. "Do you even hear yourself?" He fixed a stern gaze on the younger man. "So, without my knowledge, you left my house and went out with my friend just to help your friend who disappointed him? Have you lost your mind?!" Chanyeol's voice grew louder, startling Baekhyun, who promptly placed the wine glass on the side table beside the couch and sat up straight.
Fear gripped Baekhyun because it was the first time he had seen Chanyeol this angry with him. How had he even ended up socializing with his boss's friends, let alone going on a date with one? "I see that you have no respect for me, Baekhyun," Chanyeol's deep voice sent shivers down Baekhyun's spine, causing him to involuntarily drop to his knees in front of his boss.
Remaining on his knees, Baekhyun slowly approached the center of the living room, stopping just a few feet away from where Chanyeol was seated.

"You thought you could make a fool out of me by sneaking home," Chanyeol's disappointment was palpable. "Did you really believe I wouldn't find out?"
"Sir, I'm sorry, please." Baekhyun's eyes were brimming with unshed tears by now, and he lowered his head in shame.
"Do you even realize that Sehun is a public figure with anti-fans, sasaengs, and perverts following his every move? Do you know the risk you put yourself in?"
Baekhyun nodded, fully aware of his mistake. He had not considered what might happen if his face had been captured by the paparazzi. He cherished his non-celebrity life, where he could sit on the streets and eat without the constant presence of paparazzi and fans trying to catch a glimpse of him.
"I was foolish for not thinking about that. Sir, I apologize." Baekhyun's gaze remained fixed on his knees, and he nervously nibbled on his lower lip. He couldn't bring himself to meet Chanyeol's eyes.
Chanyeol sighed but remained resolute. Baekhyun watched as Chanyeol took out his phone from his hoodie pocket and made a call. He overheard Chanyeol instructing a lawyer to persuade Dispatch to remove any news and media coverage of Sehun and his supposed male companion. He warned of potential legal action for privacy violations.
