Heal Me (Married To Brother-in-law)

25.

Baekhyun thought of going out for a jog as it's been a long time he'd gone to one. As Munhee told him the other day, he was not getting any younger. So he should keep his physics on check.

He had woken up earlier than he usually did on weekends. After dressing in one of his tracksuits, he went for his morning jog.

After one hour of running, he went back towards his house. On his way back, he saw his neighbor slash good friend Junmyeon, who seemed like he's also going out for some exercise as well. Both friends greeted each other as they met after a week or two.

"You're late for your usual exercise time." Baekhyun commented his friend.

"Yeah. Jisoo wasn't in good state in the early morning. So I had to stay with her." Junmyeon said with a hint of concern.

"Is she sick or something?" Baekhyun asked.

"Dude, sorry I almost forgot to tell you!" Junmyeon rubbed his nape sheepishly.  "We're expecting." He revealed the good news with a brightening grin.

Baekhyun's eyes widened for a bit, then his features contoured into a happy one, his friend had been telling him that he wanted his own children, that he envied Baekhyun for having two blessings in his life.  "Congrats, man. I'm so happy for you!" Baekhyun dived in for a congratulatory bro-hug. And out of nowhere he got reminded of the time when he broke the news of Myunghee's pregnancy to Junmyeon. It was a pleasant memory, but it left a pang in his heart at present.

"Thanks, man. But you stink!" Junmyeon teased earning a harsh slap on his back from Baekhyun.

"I ran for one whole hour. What do you expect me to smell like? Flowers?" Baekhyun countered back sarcastically.

After breaking the hug, Junmyeon laughed,  "It's okay, dude. Everyone can't smell like flowers after running and sweating if they aren't Kim Junmyeon." He gave him a proud but teasing smirk.

Baekhyun rolled his eyes, "Fine. Go then. I'm going home, gotta take a shower as soon as possible. And oh, if you need any advices from someone expert, I'm here." Baekhyun said pointing at himself proudly, an expert father of twins.

 
"Wait!!" Before he could leave, his friend had suddenly stopped him, his voice almost sounding urgent.  "Hang in there just a minute, I'll be back!" Junmyeon told his friend, and that had forced Baekhyun to not leave the territory of Junmyeon's house.

A few minutes later, Junmyeon marched out of his house with a paper bag in his hands, handing it to the awaiting male.

"What are these? More gifts from Japan?" Baekhyun joked as he inspected the bag with curiosity.

"Not from Japan. But might be super useful for you and your wife. Jisoo wanted to give them last night, but she wasn't feeling good. So I promised her to deliver it to Munhee myself." Junmyeon explained.

Baekhyun nodded and fumbled inside the bag to look for what was there. But his face fell the moment he viewed the items inside the bag. Pregnancy kits from five different companies.

"Jun, if this is some kind of joke, then it's not funny." Baekhyun muttered, his eyes hardening.  

"No, it's not a joke! Honestly, during the dinner in my house, I thought at some point, that you were faking it with Munhee. But now, I'm taking back my wrong guess. I'm so happy for you." Junmyeon said before giving Baekhyun another hug.

Baekhyun couldn't reciprocate the hug as his head was whirling way too much to put on some act. He stood there with his arms falling on his both sides, his face filled with shock and surprise. Thousands of questions running inside his head.
