I'm soRRY CHANYEOL!!

"Wait a second!" I yelled from a distance, in attempt to let the person ringing the doorbell that I'm coming to open the door. I took my daughter with me and I went to the living room to place her down on her crib that was there and opened the door, revealing the person that has been pressing the doorbell.
"Hi, I'm the new neighbor-" he paused and his eyes widened when he recognized me.
I blinked at him with my mouth agape, my grip on the door knob tightened as we stared into each other.
"Y/n?"
"H-hey, Baekhyun." I replied with a low voice and gazed down on the floor to avoid the eye contact with him.
"Is it really you?"
I hummed with a small nod and lifted up my head to meet his eyes once again.
Then next thing I knew he was already squishing me inside his arms. I froze on my spot while Baekhyun hid his face on the crook of my neck.
How I miss this kind of hug from my bestfriend.
Then he backed away and held both of my shoulder. "How are you? It's been a year. Why did you let yourself face all of these alone? I was there for you, Y/n. I told you I'm helping you."
I was about to open my mouth to speak when I heard a cry. I sighed at Baekhyun as he tried to see inside my house. "Come, I want you to meet someone." I opened the door wider to let him in. I walked in first and Baekhyun trailed behind me.
Then we came into the living room where my daughter's crib is placed. I observed how Baekhyun reacted to the baby things around the house and he isn't surprised. I beckoned him to come closer towards my daughter and he did. Once he had seen my daughter, I swear he frowned a bit before his eyes turned dark and serious as he stare down at her.
"She... Looks like him. I wish she never did." he commented, his voice deep. "Now every time I will look at her, it will remind me of that asshole who left you because he wasn't ready."
"Baek, no swearing. Chanhee might hear it. I know she still do-"
"And even her name reminds me of him."
I closed my eyes and sighed. Now I know why it was the right thing to run away from Baekhyun. This one thing I ruined from him is really affecting him. Why do I have to exist just to ruin his life when all the things Baekhyun did is being a good person.
"I'm sorry, Y/n. It's just that... I'm still not over to what Chanyeol did to you." Baekhyun heaved out a sigh before glancing back at Chanhee who's blinking up at him innocently. His serious eyes at my daughter turned soft and a sweet smile appeared on his lips. "She may look like Chanyeol but I know it's not her fault and she's definitely not going to be like Chanyeol." then he tilted his head to look at me.
"Can I hold her?"
"Sure."
I watched how Baekhyun carefully picked my daughter up from her crib. His eyes are seemingly unremovable on her face, his expression got even softer as he danced her around. I couldn't help but think, why does Baekhyun has to be this good to me? Why is he always ready to do everything to me even if it means losing everything he has?
I didn't know I was already tearing up while quietly watching him and my daughter.
"Hey."
I let out a sob before I felt Baekhyun's thumb brushing against my cheek to wipe the tears away. Then I looked down at my daughter, comfortable in his arms.
