After 5 years...

"Chenle."

"What?" Chenle hissed.

"Don't give me that attitude," said Renjun sharply. "It's still bright outside yet you are drinking already."

The sun was still bright, it's just an afternoon after all, yet the Chenle 24-year-old was already drinking his sixth glass of beer.

"And?" Chenle asked as he poured the beer in his glass, it was his seventh. He does not give a fuck about what Renjun was going to say.

"You just got back here and you're drinking again," said Renjun as he sighed in frustration and Chenle just continue drinking his beer.

It had been five years since he and Yangyang got married. After Chenle and Yangyang got married, the two went to Germany and lived there for five years. Now, they came back to Korea because they know that they could not keep on running forever. They could not keep on hiding forever. They just suddenly thought of facing their fears (or more like their ex) out of the blue.

Chenle knew that anytime soon he was going to meet Jisung. Yangyang knew that anytime soon he's going to meet his exes- Chenle doesn't know who they are because Yangyang refused to say their name or anything about them, it still pains Yangyang.

For others, their relationship was going strong. They have to act like a wonderful couple in front of others or else the media would make a gossip about them that would ruin their company. In reality, they look more like housemates. Sometimes Chenle thought that they would be good actors because of the act that they are pulling in front of the media every time.

What's their real relationship? They are more like housemates or friends living together. Hell, even though they are married they did not dare to sleep in one room until now.

They have casual talks from time to time but that was all of it. They have a platonic relationship- there's nothing surprising about that, their relationship was a product of a fixed marriage after all. They never go to anything beyond their current relationship. Never in their five years of marriage, they tried to work the things out in their relationship.

In that five years, Chenle avoided any news about Jisung. He wanted to forget anything about the lad- the time they spent together and the love they shared together. He wanted to forget all of it, but he knows he could not as though Jisung's name was carved to his heart.

Since he came back to Korea, he finally discovered that Jisung woke up from coma two months after he and Yangyang got married. Jisung's mother died after a year and Jisung's father died after a year. Jisung took over the company while he was still in his 2nd year of college.

Chenle couldn't imagine how hard is that for Jisung. He had to bear all the pain from the betrayal of husband, loss of mother, loss of father, managing their business, and studying hard at the same time.

He's proud of Jisung because he beared it all. No... Proud is an understatement.

THE NIGHT CAME and Chenle was still sober. Renjun went back to his house now. Yangyang finally came home and the maid starts to serve their dinner.

Yangyang took off the vest of his suit and placed it at the chair.

"I'll just change my clothes," said Yangyang as he went upstairs to his room.

"He's going to change but he forgot to bring his vest with him again," Chenle murmured again.

Yangyang was like this, he kept on forgetting to take his clothes with him when he took it off in the living room.
