"How is she, doc?"

Chanyeol worried. Never in his 32 years, he was alive, he been worried sick about anyone. But seeing her in this kind of condition, bruises all over her face and body, been unconscious since she arrived here really scaring him. Things he felt he should have done, coupled with his perceived failures dominated his mind. He thought about his actions and words, finding them inadequate.

He shouldn't have done that in the first place if he knew she would end up more suffering. He shouldn't expose Mark's wrongdoing to her so soon like this, he knew she's not prepared yet mentally and physically. But because of his stupidity and selfishness of not wanting her to get married to Mark, she's the one who pays the price instead of him.

The anxiety sits below his concern eyes staring at his private family doctor, Doctor Han when he injected her with medicine. Once his job done, Dr. Han gets up from the bed and looking at him with his serious face. His deep stare making Chanyeol felt uneasy on what he might hear later. He wanted to deny if there's something wrong with her even though the chance was very high after all the conflict she been through.

He saw Dr. Han lets out a sigh and shook his head. He knew it was a negative response, a sign that he will get a bad news later. Really really a bad news.

"It is very rare to see broken rib in the early of pregnancy, Mr. Park,"

"She- she-she," he stuttered, his breath felt like it been taken away from him.

Again?

Chanyeol's face crinkled in bewilderment. This can't be real though. The whole world had vanished for him, now there was only pain enough to break him, pain enough to change him beyond recognition.

Why you never learn your mistake, Y/N? Isn't what Jungkook had done to you are enough for you to realize it already?

All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride. Even a good man like Mark can be absorbed by his pride and agony when it comes to love. Love can make us go blind. Love can cover all the true things and only shown the hopeless lies.

"Due to the broken rib, I believe there's bleeding inside that threatens the lives of both mother and baby if we do not take any precaution earlier. We can't proceed the surgery now as it will affect the baby. But I'm more afraid of this lady, she might won't survive when the baby getting bigger later. What do you think, Mr. Park?"

Chanyeol staggered backward, his mind swirling, his breaths shallow and almost fell in a heap to the floor. He widens his eyes looking at Dr. Han, still surprises what he just heard. Y/N is going to die? He cried as if his brain was being shredded from the inside. Emotional pain flowed out of his every pore. No! He doesn't want to lose her. His world is going to be empty without her love. He rather kills that innocent baby just only to save her.

"Save her. Just do whatever it takes only to save her," said him, looking away. This is so hard for him to make the decision. She might love her baby too and doesn't want to lose it. But for Chanyeol, her life is the most important now. That is the thing about selfish people. They gamble entire beings. Entire souls to please their own. To please her love to Y/N.

A premature death does not only rob one of the countless instances where one would have experienced pleasure by being selfish, it also saves one from the innumerable instances where one would have experienced pain.

"No... Please... please don't kill... this baby,"

He quickly turned his head when he heard her weak voice. Chanyeol saw her already awake from her unconsciousness, immediately making his move closer to her. Only God know how worried he was, thinking about her all the time.

"Please, don't kill my child," she said again with a husky voice. She heard everything, his conversation with Dr. Han. Her face now bathed with her tears, trying to get up from the bed. "Argh!" she screamed. Chanyeol knew she was in pain, her eyes squeezed closed as her face contorted.

And yet... you wouldn't want it to stop hurting... you wouldn't want to forget your little baby if you could.

"Stop moving around, Y/N. I know it hurts you so please just calm down first," he tried to calm her down and making her lay on the bed again. But he didn't expect that she will shove his hand right away before he could touch her.

"Who are you?" he startled as soon she asked who he is. Did she forget who he really is? "Who are you to bring me here, Mr. Park?" asked her again while staring at him. Her eyes said it all. Confused. Frightened.

Ah, now Chanyeol realized that she didn't even completely know about him yet. She just knew him as Park Chanyeol, a stranger to him, her previous boss's son and President of Park Legacy. Nothing more than that.

"I'll tell you everything later. Just please calm down first. You're still weak, Y/N." reassured him. He saw her shaking her head in disbelief, still stubborn enough to against his words.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Park. But I don't know who you are and I believe you also don't know about me too. This is so wrong. I should get back to my house now," she told him with a stern voice.

"You are not belonging to that dump place, Y/N. Why you never noticed that? Oh god!" he sighed while looking at her. It hurts you know to see the girl he loves still doesn't see and change her heart instead.

He saw Y/N became clueless right after he spoke. Bet she was too confused now. He would act the same way too if someone completely stranger coming into his life and act like they knew everything about him.

"I don't know what your intention bringing me here. But I already have a fiancé..."

He smirked once he heard Y/N tried mentioning about that bastard. He immediately cut her words and said "Fiancé? A crazy fiancé? A psycho fiancé? Which one? That asshole you wanted to make as your husband? You must be kidding me,"

"Mark could kill you if he knew what you're trying to do. So please let me go now before anything could go any worsen later!" she shouted at him. Seriously, he also seems surprised seeing her being desperate to go away from him.

There was something in that shout, a pain behind it. Chanyeol watched. He watched Y/N's eyes. Then he knew. The anger was nothing but a shield for pain, like a cornered soldier randomly throwing out grenades, scared for her life, lonely, desperate. He breathed in real slow. What if nothing blew up? What if there were no consequences? Wouldn't Y/N have to calm down? Wouldn't the shield clatter to the ground and let the pain tumble out?

"Y/N..." he called her name with a soft voice. His eyes keep staring at her warmly.

"I'm not going to tell you what I think about what happened there or ask you what you had been through there. But I know it sucked and I have no idea why you aren't crying right now, but I know your heart hurts, and maybe even your pride. What Mark had done to you, I know it's really unforgivable but please know that I am always here for you,"

"Who are you exactly?" her question making him chuckled. Chanyeol quickly folding his sleeve and showed her his wrist. There's a tattoo there. Maybe she could only remember her through this. Who knows?

"Why you're showing me your tattoo?" she asked, totally looking confused.

"Have you any idea what this tattoo means?" he replied. "There's a woman once said to me 'Be like an arrow' because she thinks that an arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great. So just focus and keep aiming,"

Y/N used to say that to him whenever he feels down at the office. She always gave her wise advice with her bright mood to everyone. That's why he fell in love with her. She just knew too well about how to please anyone she met.

Chanyeol unexpectedly brought his face closer to her making her startled a little bit. "What... what are you doing right now?" she stuttered nervously.

"Look at my eyes, Y/N. Why you still don't remember me?" said him. Both of them exchange gaze for a moment yet enough to feel safe whenever he with her. Chanyeol slowly took her hand holding him and lifted up to his face, covering all except his eyes. "Remember these eyes? This look?" his eyes keep staring at her big round eyes which started to frown. She did remember him! How could she not?

"No way," she pulled away her hand from him and looked away. "He is someone else." She said, being in denial.

"Who is he?"

She turned and staring at him once again. Then a small laugh escaped from her mouth. "It doesn't make sense. Totally!"

"What doesn't make sense?" he asked, smiling at her. Her face drastically changed when she noticed the seriousness Chanyeol stared towards her. "Do you think it doesn't make sense if the poor cleaner can be one of the richest person in Korea?"

Y/N suddenly came closer to him, bringing her face towards him and examining every single thing on his face. He chuckled when her palm touching his nose out of sudden and covered half of his face. There's a small wrinkle she made on her forehead, looking serious staring at him.

"Satisfied enough?" he began to ask her after a moment of silence.

"No way," she lets out a disbelief gasp.

"It's me, Chan. Why you still wanted to deny it if you knew it was me?" he said, grabbing her wrist and put his face into her softy palm.

"Because you're Park Chanyeol. Not Chan that I knew," she sounded a little bit disappointed. Why she seems unhappy after knowing the truth.

"Both are the same person, Y/N," he stated.

"No, they are not. To be honest, I much more comfortable with Chan rather than Mr. Park Chanyeol, the President of Park Legacy." Chanyeol slowly put her hand down but never let it go from his clutch. He expected that she will happy and excited when she knew who he really is. But seems like he put so much high hope for this and when it doesn't go perfectly with his plan, he must admit it that he kind of heartbroken a little bit.

He traces tiny little circles on the lines of her palm, looking disappointed. "I thought you will be happy to see me again."

"I'm happy. I would happy to see you again but this isn't the right time, Chan. I'm so embarrassed to be seen like this. You might be thinking I'm just a pathetic girl isn't?" she said, making Chanyeol quickly shook his head.

"No, you're not. You never be that in my eyes," replied him softly. His eyes never left her eyes since then. She chuckled seeing his reaction.

"You must think that I'm just a poor girl who had problems in every of her relationship. Since I dated Jungkook couple of years before and now..." she then sighed. Her face changed and a smile drew on her face, "Oh, I bet you already heard the news that I have a daughter," she chuckled.

I knew everything, Y/N. I just knew about you too much...

He shook her head slowly while looking at her. There's a pain in his expression. "I'm sorry, Y/N." he apologized, making her startled with his sudden move.

"Why you're apologizing to me?" her face looked so confused.

"I should ask you to break up with Jungkook at that time. I knew he treated you bad ever since you dated him..." he took a deep breath before he's going to expose everything, "And I knew he chased you out when you got yourself pregnant with his child. I knew everything about you, Y/N and I am so sorry, I couldn't do anything to help you," he then clutched tight her hand with his and said, "But right now, I won't let this happen again to you. I won't let Mark dare to touch you or even coming close to you. He's going to face me first if he still wanted you to go back to him."

Chanyeol holds still, staring at Y/N, eyes locked right on her. There is a wrinkle on his forehead, muscles tight, jaw clenched. His rage held all the power of a wildfire; you could practically see the flames roaring in his eyes, ready to ignite anything that he came in contact with.

"Sometimes I wish I could forget everything," she sighed.

"But you've got me," he pointed out. "Would you want to forget about me?"

"Everything except you," she said, correcting herself.

"Well, maybe I can make that happen, if only for a moment," he murmured, embracing her warmly.

She smiled, then whispers, "But I can't. I'm pregnant with his child, Chan. I can't simply leave him because of that. This baby really needs his father,"

Chanyeol lets out a painful sigh when he realized he still can't change her mind to forget everything and started to look at him. Maybe the last option he has right now is to tell her the truth then.

"I have a feeling for you, Y/N. I fell in love with you ever since we met for the first time. I remember the feeling I have towards you when we first started talking. I thought you were amazing. I remember talking on the phone with you and telling stories, sharing secrets. I remember you telling me that you loved Edward Cullen and I disagreed with you but I knew I really liked you, and I never wanted to mess anything up because I didn't want to lose someone like you, you made my heart flutter and I always get butterflies when I see you. There was no better feeling than that and I miss that. I miss you, Y/N."

She looked up at him, her eyes drowning in tears. "I'm sorry, Chan. I never know your feelings towards me are like this. I thought we were friends..."

"Sir."

Both of them turned to the door, only to see Wonwoo stood there. Chanyeol quickly wiping his tears and clearing his throat off. "Come in," he said with his serious voice.

Once Wonwoo reached Chanyeol, he gave him a phone. Chanyeol took that phone and looked at Wonwoo, asking for his explanation. He opened that phone and noticing hundreds miss calls from two different numbers.

"This is Miss Y/N's phone. I took it when we're packing some of her things earlier." He stated.

Y/N quickly took her phone from him once she heard what Wonwoo had said to him.

"Call him." He said. His voice was weak.

"What?"

"Jungkook. He might worry about you now," he knew Jungkook's miss calls are way more than Mark because he doesn't know what already happen to her. And he knew Mark might already give up on her since Chanyeol came to his office yesterday and threatening him not to touch her again.

"He's not important," she said coldly.

"I'm not saying that because of Jungkook's behalf, Y/N. Eva might keep asking him where you are right now. Just call him and speak to your daughter," Chanyeol tried to reassure her. He knew she's heartbroken too on what had happened to her daughter.

He saw she started to cry, "I can't. I'm not a good mom and can't even protect my own daughter. I knew she's safe with her father right now. Just let her,"

Chanyeol quickly took her into his arms, leaning her head against his chest and lets her cried out all of her pain. "But still she is your daughter. She must be really missing her mom," he then rubbed gently of her back.

"I don't want to hear her voice. It makes me miss her more and I don't want my feelings to overpower it. She is in a better place and I don't want to ruin it again," she lifted up her face from him and her teary eyes keep staring at him.

After a moment of silence, Chanyeol spoke. "Tell me something I didn't know," he asked her while his hands keep holding her.

"What?" she asked in confusion.

"Tell me something I didn't know," he repeated his words. His eyes were asking something and definitely, she got what he meant.

"I never have any feeling for you, Chan." She hesitated. Chanyeol noticed her taking a quick glance at him. Maybe she expecting him to be shock or angry, but instead, he just had a sad smile in his eyes.

"Tell me something I didn't know," he said again, holding her hand tighter this time.

The pain of one-sided love, of knowing that I had loved her more than she had loved me. It's making me so sad that you are unreachable. My desire for your touch, and your lips. It's breaking me inside. I'm so scared you are the only one I will ever love. I'm so scared because I know there is no other you.

༻♡༺

The next day,

Chanyeol went to his office as usual and making someone took care of Y/N while he's not at home. His bodyguards are there guarding the Sky House safe. Nobody knows where the exact place Sky House located is. Only his brothers, Park Jinyoung and Park Jimin.

"I have something to report to you, sir," Wonwoo said to him. Chanyeol quickly shut the file he's been checked up on and looked at his PA.

"What?" he asked.

"Some of Park Legacy bodyguards' were reported doing a night errand a few days ago," explained Wonwoo while giving him a black file to him. Without any hesitation, he opened that file and read a brief report regarding about his workers.

"They were paid by someone to use the name under Park Legacy and doing an illegal crime," Wonwoo's statement left him surprised. Illegal crime? Have they lost their mind? Why did they need to drag his company's name too?

"Illegal crime?"

Wonwoo nodded. "They were hired by your brother, Mr. Park Jinyoung to kill President of JK Group, sir."
