Back To Me (Byun Baekhyun)
24

That morning, Baekhyun was preparing to go to the office. Yes, it's the first day he goes back to work after recovering from his coma. Now the man is busy looking for a tie that he often wears, because he does not know where it is so he waits for his wife to ask for help to be found.

Hana came out of the bathroom with only her towel, she was shocked when she saw Baekhyun who was still in the room.

"Hana, can you please find a tie that I wear often? I searched from earlier but didn't find any, either" Baekhyun said.

"Oh, yes. Just a moment," said Hana.

"You can wear clothes first."

"You're late, you're just looking for a tie."

Baekhyun was only afraid of his towel slumping, although it was okay too after all only he saw it?

Now his wife was standing in front of him, looking for the tie he wanted in their closet. Then suddenly Baekhyun's eyes focused on some reddish marks on Hana's back shoulder. The reddish marks are similar to kiss-marks. But Baekhyun didn't feel like doing it, so what kind of redness was it?

"Well, what's the shoulder?" Baekhyun asked and then made Hana immediately turn around, which she had coincidentally found also the tie her husband wanted.

"What-is-i?"

"Yes, there's redness in there like...."

"Ah that, I was bitten by an insect!" Answer Hana.

"Can't you?"

"Yes, so I fell asleep on the floor and was bitten by an insect."

"Oh, so don't fall asleep!"

"Hehe. I don't usually sleep in bed when there's no you."

"Now want to be bitten by me?"

"You! But not now, you'll be starved and you're late!"

Baekhyun chuckled then now he pinched Hana's nose fatigued.

"Wait for tonight, huh?!"

"What a pity, sir, I'm coming to the moon!" Hana giggled amusedly, looking at Baekhyun's face that was poking at her lips.

"Cabin! I'm wearing the tie!" Hana began to wrap the tie around the collar of her husband's shirt and make a knot there.

When she finished, Hana cupped her husband's cheek and kissed the man's lips for a while.

"Don't pout that way, your employees will run away!"

"Yes, I'm leaving now."

Hana nodded, "The spirit is working!"

Now Baekhyun nodded, "You and Hyuna don't be late for lunch."

"Ready!"

"You too!"

"Hey!" Baekhyun pulled on Hana's waist to kiss the woman's forehead.

"Shorten with clothes!" Baekhyun said again.

"Yeah.."

"I'm leaving."

"Be careful!"

After Baekhyun's departure, Hana's lip line that had been lifted up is now back down. Smile disappeared. There was only a heavy sigh that the woman was doing.

"I'm sorry Baekhyun."

"I'm lying to you more and more."

He opened his towel and stared at the innocent reflection of his body in the mirror.

"How do you feel when you see this Baekhyun? Your wife's been touched by another man."

"You're gonna be so devastated, aren't you?"

***

Baekhyun returns to the office without the knowledge of his employees other than Chanyeol. Making some of them shocked when they saw the figure of the president had returned to the office.

"Good morning, president." Baekhyun turned his head when someone greeted him, it was Kim Jongin.

"Eh, you? Morning too," replied Baekhyun kindly.

"It's getting better sir?"

Baekhyun nodded, "Yes already."

"Thank God, I asked Hana about your situation. But the woman seemed to be busy taking care of her husband to the point of not replying to my message. Or are you keeping your feelings?"

Baekhyun laughed, "Maybe it's because he's busy testing as well."

"Oh like that."

Baekhyun and Jongin walked together towards the elevator before there were 2 employees in front of them who blocked the road and were unaware that their president was blocked by them. And one of the 2 employees was very well known Jongin, Kim Jennie.

"Well that's the president's wife? Maybe he just mislooked!"

Baekhyun was interested in his attention when they alluded to the wife of the president who was none other than Hana.

"He showed me his picture and it was really his wife's president, at the club with a man."

"Good morning, president."

"Are you used to breakfast with cheap gossip?" Baekhyun asked cynically, making the 2 employees look down not daring to look at their president.

"Sorry president, we don't mean---,"

"If my wife is going to the club with another guy, even talking about it like that isn't cool at all you know?"

"Distributing something sensitive especially that is not necessarily the truth, it is only done by people who lack work."

"So what are your jobs lacking? Then let me add more and your time can be more useful because it is used for work, not talking about other people."

Baekhyun spoke with unusually flat intonation before he left without saying goodbye even to Jongin.

"You must learn to guard your mouth!" Jongin said to his two colleagues.

"He was the one who asked me gossip, oppa!" Jennie replied that she did not accept it and instead pointed to her interlocutor earlier.

"I told you not to call me oppa!"

"Better to get to work!"

Jongin leaves them too with a feeling of annoyance and Jennie still follows him.

"But oppa, I you're not curious about the gossip? You believe it's not oppa?"

"Some Jennie!" Jennie was somewhat jolted when Jongin called her name with a bang.

"Are you really out of work?"

"Stop meddling in people's affairs!"

Jennie lowered her head, "Alright I'll stop talking about it."

"What if we talk about our relationship?"

Jongin rolled his eyes lazily, "Talk to the wall!" Reply Jongin then immediately set his foot away.

"Yes! Oppa! Talking to you and the wall makes no difference!"

"Don't listen to the rumors!"

Baekhyun who was daydreaming now glanced at Chanyeol who had not since when it came.

"You heard that too?"

Chanyeol.

"I want to see the picture" said Baekhyun.

"No need! You don't believe in Hana?"

Baekhyun exhaled his coarse breath, "I want to. But--- considering how he ever lied to me, i--,"

"Well, that's not a woman like that."

"It would be wrong if I just wanted to be sure about the truth of the photo?"

"You remember? Hana and I met at a nightclub, and I know there's no bad intention of Hana going there."

"He was just running away from his problem, so could it be that the current one was Hana? He ran away from his problems again. The matter about me being unconscious."

Chanyeol. Because Baekhyun's guess was almost all correct? Or even no one misses a bit?

"I don't mind him coming there. I know, Hana's not a night woman. But how did he choose that place as a place to escape from trouble, then end up meeting me first. I'm just worried, he found me another. You understand what I mean?"

Chanyeol was silent.

"You know Chanyeol, Hana's body has reddish marks, she says it was bitten by an insect. But my mind...."

"So what do you think of Hana?" Now Chanyeol again voiced by looking at Baekhyun bravely.

"Very bad."

"But I hope it's just my fear."

"That's why I want the picture, I want to make sure of it myself."

"Having this kind of fear is bad, you know?"

"I told the person who spread it to delete the photo."

Baekhyun fused his eyebrows, "You see the picture?"

Chanyeol.

"What is Hana?"

"Of course not."

"You sure?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Akrinya Baekhyun was silent. Although it is not shown still his heart is still stuck. Either because something did happen or this was just his over-concerned worry.
