Description
Chanyeol is cool and carefree when it comes to relationships. He really has no time to be bothering with the strings of a woman tying him down in the complicated pretense that she's not marrying him for his money. This is probably why he willingly agrees to the arranged marriage; because it brings stability. He's never met the girl and doesn't care one way or the other whether he ever does outside of the public wedding they'll surely have, a display intended solely for others. But when he meets the new office intern, pint-sized Byun Baekhyun, who never seems to be able to get anything done right, Chanyeol can't help but be concerned with him. The little pretty boy irritates the hell out of him, but he's drawn to those pretty fingers and the way he smiles with others in the break room. Perhaps, he could have his cake and eat it too. A loveless marriage and a passionate affair. What a perfect cliché. Possible Triggers: A plethora of dubcon, implied noncon, break up, infidelity, some slurs. This work is intended for an adult audience and have roots in real events that happened but is a work of fiction. All characters are deeply flawed and this is not a representation of functional relationships or human beings written for entertainment and as therapy exercises. Consent is a priority in all aspects of your life, please protect yourself and your boundaries. Depictions of Yifan are pre-exo departure. Official beta by M, Original publication on AFF, Aug 4, 2014
