On the next day, Yuri went to the SME company to send her resignation letter. The EXO left for their tour and supposed to be she should come with them but then their manager said that she needs to take a rest because they don't want her to get sick again. Yuri took this chance to packed her things because she's going to leave her apartment and moved to Gwangju. Junhoe helped her from packing and also Junhoe was the one who helped her to find a place to stay in Gwangju, well more likely he offered his apartment that he haven't used for a long time that is at Gwangju since he's workplace is in Seoul.
Junhoe ordered the caretaker of his apartment to clean the place because Yuri will be occupying the place, Yuri did refused but he insisted because he can't take seeing Yuri having a hard time taking care of herself and her baby specially that she's jobless now. Yuri couldn't do anything but accept the offer but she promised him that she will pay him back once she had found a job.
They had finished packing her things and they are all set, she took a last glimpse of her apartment before they leave. They headed to Gwangju, to a place where she can start anew. A place where she can try to forget about Sehun and a place where she can live her life not thinking of other people. She fell asleep because it was a long drive, Junhoe was just driving and can't help but smile because of his passenger. Junhoe had feelings for Yuri but he just keep it because he knows that Yuri will never like him, he knew that Yuri is in love with Sehun but he don't know if Sehun feel the same with her.
If he want he could actually ask her to be his girl friend and take responsibility for the baby but he's not that greedy and selfish, for him Sehun still have the right to know about Yuri and their baby but now is still not the time. Besides, he don't want to push himself to Yuri when he knew that she's in love with Oh Sehun and not to a Park Junhoe. He just want to see her be happy and if Sehun will be the one to make her happy, he will do anything for her even if it will hurt him.
They finally arrived at his apartment in Gwangju and Yuri is still sleeping, maybe she's tired or maybe just one of those preggy thingy. He tried to wake her up and with in a couple of minutes, Yuri opened her eyes and smiled at him which made his heart skips a beat. He avoided her gaze then cleared his throat before he turn to face her.
"Uhm we're here." he said then Yuri turned her head to look at the window then she saw the tall building outside, that must be his apartment building. She stared at the building in awe like a child that made Junhoe chuckle, she turned around to look at him confused.
"Why are you laughing?" she asked curling her eye brows, Junhoe cleared his throat before he spoke.
"You're just cute." he replied then smiled at her, she just stared at him in confusion.
They get out of the car and took her luggages in the compartment then went inside the building, they rode the elevator then press the number of Junhoe's apartment floor which is at 10th floor. After minutes of elevator ride they reached the 10th floor, she tried to take the luggage but Junhoe shove it away from her. She stared at him confused but he just smiled at her.
"Pregnant woman should not carry heavy luggage." he simply said then went out of the elevator carrying her 2 luggages. She just stared Junhoe who's now walking away from the elevator then shook her head. If she have met him before she met Sehun, she might have fallen in love with him but then maybe she was destined to meet Sehun and fell in love with him.
She followed Junhoe to where he was heading, the apartment building is quite big, bigger than her apartment before. She stopped walking when she saw Junghoe stopped at the corner of the floor, so he's apartment unit was at the corner of the apartment floor. He entered the code of his unit then they heard a beep as a sign that the door was opened, he opened the door then let her come in first then he followed her inside still carrying her two luggages.
They had finally entered his apartment and she was in awe on how big his apartment unit was, it's even bigger than her apartment back in Seoul and it also have 2 bed rooms. She roamed around Junhoe's apartment unit while Junhoe is staring at her and admire every features of her face and her actions. Is it wrong to wish someone to love you? He snapped back from his thoughts when Yuri turned around smiling at him, he smiled back at her.
Junhoe pointed the room that she's occupying then told her about the policies of the apartment building, the do's and don'ts. After telling her the policies, he let her rest and went out to buy something to eat and also for her food stocks. Yuri felt embarrassed because of the treatment that Junhoe gave, she tried to refused again but he just insisted so she have no choice but to let him.
She went inside the room when Junhoe went out to buy foods, she was amazed on how big the room was and also the bed. Her 2 luggages are already inside the room, she started unpacking and placing her things on the drawers then her clothes to the cabinet. Once she's finished unpacking, she felt exhausted and decided to lay down on the bed. She lay down on the bed and with in a split seconds she fell asleep. Preggy thingy.
Junhoe was out to buy the stuffs that Yuri needed, he's at the mall roaming around, coming in and out of the stores. He bought the stuffs needed for a pregnant woman, from the clothing to her vitamins. Some sales lady thought that he's buying it for his wife and that the wife is lucky, if they only knew that as much as he wants her to be his wife but he can't.
He was on his way to the grocery when he received a phone call and when he checked the caller ID, it was Ailee who's calling him.
"Yeobeoseyo?" he greeted
"Junhoe where are you? Why you"re not here at the bar?" Ailee asked. He forgot that he has a work tonight, the truth is Ailee and him are business partners but since he loves bartending so much that he volunteered to do the bartending job even though he doesn't have to.
"I'm here at Gwangju, I'll be back tomorrow." he said
"Yah! Why you didn't tell me you're at Gwangju that you're not coming to work tonight? Aish! By the way, you know Yuri right?" she said that made him surprised.
"Uhm yeah, why?" he asked
"Do you know where she live? I need to tell her something." she said
"I don't know where she live, why? What is it that you need to tell her?" he replied and he heard her sigh.
"I just want to clarify between me and Sehun, maybe she thought that we're back together which is not true. I treat Yuri like a dongsaeng and also a friend." she said and he can hear her sighing. As much as he wants to tell her about Yuri's whereabouts but he thinks that it's not a good idea, Yuri needs time to be alone, to be away from the people that may cause her stress and that's why he's helping her.
"Why don't you try to ask Sehun, maybe he knows where she live." he suggest.
"That's a brilliant idea Junhoe, I didn't thought that you have a brain. Thank you and see you." Ailee said then hung up, he just smirked after she ended the call.
He finished buying the stuffs needed and before he headed back to the apartment, he take out a food first for their dinner. Once he's done with his task, he headed back to the apartment. He arrived at his apartment and saw that Yuri is not in the living room, he checked her room which is not lock and saw that she was sleeping. He smiled to see the sleeping pregnant Yuri again then close the door to arrange the stuffs he bought.
After he finished arranging the stuffs he bought, he prepared the table for their dinner and the food that he bought a while ago. He went back to Yuri's room to call her for dinner, it was not hard for him to wake her up because just a few seconds she woke up. They went to the dining room and pulled a sit for her then they started eating their dinner. He was contemplating if he's going to tell her that Ailee is looking for her, that she wants to tell her something or just forget about it. Yuri saw him getting troubled so she touched his hand that was on the table then stared at him in a worried expression.
"Junhoe, you looked troubled. Gwaenchana?" she asked, he just shook his head and smiled at her.
"Gwaenchana." he replied giving her a smile, she just smiled back and they continued eating.
"Yuri, tomorrow I'll go back to Seoul can you take care of yourself here?" he asked. Yuri raised her head and looked at him.
"Gwaenchana, I can take care of my self. Thank you Junhoe, you really helped me big time and I don't know how to repay you." she said
"Don't worry too much about it, I just want you to be happy and I want you to take care of yourself and the baby." he said, she nodded then gave him a smile.
"Tomorrow I will look for a job, I don't want to keep on depending on you and besides I need to save enough money for my baby." she said then placed her hand on her tummy.
"I understand but don't get too tired, it's bad for the baby." he said which made her chuckle.
They continued their dinner then after she volunteered to wash the dishes because she noticed that Junhoe is always doing the chores, he protested at first but then gave up because Yuri is so persistent. Junhoe just went to the living room to watch a TV while Yuri is washing the dishes. Once she's done washing the dishes, she felt sleepy again and told Junhoe that she's going to sleep first. He just nodded as a respond then she went to her room to sleep.
Once she got in to her room, she lay down on the bed and took her phone that was on the side table. She opened her galleries to see the pictures she had with the EXO and with Sehun. She can't deny that she's missing them, that she's missing him but she needs to endure it. For her sake and for her baby. She wiped the tears that she didn't notice that was forming on her eyes and in a few minutes she fell asleep.
Three months had passed after Yuri left Seoul and stayed in Gwangju, her tummy is getting bigger and Junhoe was not able to visit her in Gwangju because he's too busy with his work. She also found a job in Gwangju which is she's working as a receptionist in a luxury hotel. The EXO are back from their tour and they are still clueless about what had happened to Yuri, they don't even know that she already resigned and left.
"I'm so excited to see Riri." Xiumin said when they got to the SME company.
"I'm so excited for Hunnie to ask Riri as his girl friend." Jongdae teases. Sehun glared at him but Jongdae just grinned while the other members chuckled. Sehun confessed to them that he's in love with Yuri when they were on their tour. At first they were shock because they didn't expect he will like Yuri since he's being too cold and harsh on her.
"But the question is, will Riri accept him as her boy friend?" Kai teases while placing his arm on Sehun's broad shoulder. Sehun turned his head to glared at Kai which he stepped back while giving a peace sign.
"C'mon guys stop teasing Hunnie." Junmyeon said.
"I bet Riri will reject him after what he did to her and if that happens I will court her instead." Chanyeol said that made everyone glared at him. Yixing smacked his head that made him winced and Sehun smirked in satisfaction.
"Yah hyung, what was that for?" Chanyeol complained while rubbing his head.
"Stop teasing Sehun, we all know that he regret treating Yuri that way and I can see that Yuri is feeling the same way towards Sehun." Yixing said that made Sehun smile.
"I'm just teasing him." Chanyeol said then frowned at his hyung.
"But by the way, where's Yuri anyway?" Baekhyun said.
"Yeah, she's supposed to be here right?" Kyungsoo said
"Maybe she's just late?" Sehun said. They went to the office where they usually gather when they are discussing something new for their album or EXO related stuffs.
They just stayed inside the meeting room and keep on teasing Sehun. While they are busy fooling around, their manager came inside with a very unexplainable expression on his face. The members looked at him confused on why their manager looked like that, their manager sat on one of the vacant chair then placed a small white envelope on the table. Their manager pushed the envelope to the center then Junmyeon took the envelope and check what was it, his eyes widened to see Yuri's name on it.
"Yuri had resigned." their manager spoke which made them surprised and was not able to respond.
"The staff said that on the day that we left for the tour, Yuri came here to leave her resignation letter and it is also said that she's with a guy." their manager continued. They curled their eye brows when they heard that Yuri is with a guy when she went to the SME building to leave her resignation letter.
"Do you know the name of the guy?" Sehun asked in a serious tone of voice. The members stared at him and they know that the maknae is starting to get pissed off.
"I've asked the guard that was on duty that day and he said that the name of the guy is Junhoe." their manager replied and they saw that Sehun clenched his fist. The members curled their eye brows because they don't have an idea of who's Junhoe.
"Who's Junhoe?" Chanyeol asked.
"He's Ailee's bartender and buisiness partner." Sehun replied. They stared at him and Sehun started to get up then headed to the door.
"Yah Hunnie where do you think you're going?" Jongdae asked whe's he's about to leave the room.
"I'm going to where that Junhoe was and asked him about Yuri." he replied and it's obvious that he's mad then left the room.
"Hey wait up! We're coming with you." Xiumin said then followed Sehun outside, the rest of the members followed them leaving their manager.
Sehun headed to the parking lot enraged because of what he had find out and at the same time hurt because Yuri left without saying a word. He dialled Ailee's number to ask where is Junhoe and lucky him because he's at the bar where Yuri and Junhoe first met. Before he could get inside his car Xiumin stopped him together with the other members.
"I said we're coming with you, dumbass!" Xiumin said then flicked Sehun's forehead, Sehun rubbed his forehead then glared at Xiumin.
"We need to know where's Yuri too you know, so don't be too selfish." Jongdae said who appeared beside Xiumin. He just rolled his eyes then get inside his car which they followed. The rest of the members are on a different car since they couldn't fit inside Sehun's car.
They started heading to where Junhoe was and Sehun keep on clenching his fist, he will surely gonna beat up Junhoe if he did something to Yuri. Xiumin and Jongdae are just quiet, they don't want their maknae to be more upset and then vent out his anger on them. It was a long drive and after half an hour of driving, they had finally arrived at Ailee's bar. Sehun stop the car then went out of his car, the other just followed him. They went inside the bar and saw Ailee sitting on one of the high chairs of the bar counter while talking to Junhoe who's standing and holding a towel.
Sehun approached them and to their surprised he suddenly punched Junhoe on the face that made him fall on the floor.
"SEHUN! What the hell are you doing?!" Ailee exclaimed when she saw what Sehun did then approached Junhoe who's sitting on the floor, the members stopped Sehun before he could punch him again.
"Where is Yuri?! Where did you take her?!" Sehun asked who already bursted into anger. Junhoe just smirked at him then get up from the floor, Sehun was about to attack him again but Ailee blocked him.
"What are you talking about Sehun?! Why are you asking Junhoe about Yuri's whereabout?" Ailee asked.
"Yuri sent her resignation letter on the day that we have our tour and this jerk knows where she is and why she resigned, so you better answer me now before I beat you up!" Sehun said. Ailee stared at Junhoe and Sehun confused then she just remembered the last time she asked where Yuri live and when Sehun gave her the address, when she got there she was informed that Yuri already left.
"I didn't know Yuri resigned, I thought she moved somewhere near your dorm because the last time I went to her apartment she no longer lives there." Ailee said which made Sehun and the member surprised.
"She left?! This jerk! Where is she?!" Sehun said enraged and grabbed Junhoe's collar. The members tried to pull Sehun away from Junhoe and Ailee stepped in between Junhoe and Sehun.
"Stop it Sehun! You will not get an answer if you're going to be like that." Ailee said then glared at him. Sehun heave a sigh and tried to calm himself, the members let him go when they see that he's already calm.
"Junhoe-ssi, could you tell us where Riri was and why she resigned?" Junmyeon asked in a calm tone. They just waited for Junhoe to respond, Junhoe heave a sigh before he spoke.
"I guess I don't need to keep this from you guys, three months of keeping this is sure hell. I hope Yuri will forgive me." Junhoe started and they just stared at him confused while Sehun is starting to get pissed off again but Chanyeol just pat his shoulder.
"Three months ago, the day before you guys had your tour I met Yuri. We we're just talking that time then suddenly she passed out so I took her to the hospital." he continued. A gasped came out from them, they were surprised of what he said.
"Why'd she passed out?" Yixing asked
"Well, when we are at the hospital the doctor examined her to find the reason why she passed out and when the doctor came back with the result, this made me and Yuri surprised." he stated. They just listened to him quietly and they didn't bother interrupting him, Sehun who's enraged a while ago became worried about Yuri and curious of what really happened to her.
"The doctor informed us that she's pregnant, that those days that she feel dizzy is just one of the symptoms of being pregnant." Junhoe stated then looked at Sehun who's now shock of what he heard. Ailee and the other members were surprised because they don't have an idea that she's pregnant and also as far as they know Yuri don't have a boyfriend. They slowly turned their heads to Sehun who's still in shock and stared at him waiting for him to say something.
"Yuri asked me a favor to keep this from you guys, to be honest I don't want to keep this as a secret specially when I know who was the father but Yuri insisted and her reason is that she don't want to ruin the father of her baby's career." Junhoe continued forming a faint smile.
"W-who's the father?" Ailee asked. Junhoe raised his head and looked straight to Sehun, they followed his gaze and gasped.
"Oh Sehun is the father of Yuri's baby." he answered and they all stared at Sehun who froze from where he stands.
