Messed Up I Guess

Chapter 38

—MUIG—

After the marriage incident, things weren't really back to the usual stuff. With Chanyeol and Baekhyun trying to hide their relationship from the others (since they still feel quite the need to do so), their days were slightly hectic and somewhat in chaos.

"CHANYEOL WHERE THE HELL ARE MY SOCKS?! I SWEAR IF THEY WERE USED AS YOUR GARDEN SHITS-"

"IN THE BATHROOM BABE!" Chanyeol shouted while he mismanaged his shoes as it was time for him to go.

"YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID SOONER!"

"I KNOW, I KNOW! By the way, there are pancakes on the counter", Chanyeol then rushed towards Baekhyun who was walking down the short flight of stairs and pecked his cheek, causing a soft giggle to erupt from the small latter (and his angry mindset now gone like a bubble popped).

"I won't be long, so see you later princess. I love you!"

"How many times have I told you I'm NOT A PRINCESS!"

"And how many times have I told you, whether in my dreams or in real life you still are in my eyes", smiled Chanyeol. Baekhyun huffed, his cheeks puffing in embarrassment, and crossed his arms for effect. Chanyeol giggled at the cute view. 

Ew cheeky...

"Don't miss me too much!" waved the giant as he went down the path.

"Like hell, I would!"

Moments when Baekhyun would leave his house and live in the abode of his dorky boyfriend, his every excuse was,

"I'll be out for a night walk, I'll be back."

He was successful either, as when it was nine in the morning he is back in his huge mansion, coming out of his bedroom while stretching his "sore limbs" thinking it was all a dream. Well thankfully, it wasn't.

Every day, Chanyeol would wake up exactly six, preparing breakfast after washing up, and wake up his snoring boyfriend. Being cute was a crime, yet Chanyeol covers it with him peppering Baekhyun's face with small pecks in adoration and love. How could an angel as heavenly as he lay beside his bed each and every night? 

All he could do was thank his Almighty Father high above heaven for this wonderful blessing.

Baekhyun happily munched on the pancake his lover made with love just for him [this sounds so wrong I'm so sorry-]. After so, he placed the used utensils in the sink and began to wash them clean. 

He hummed peacefully as he thought about the times when he was a guest being taken care of and daydreaming when will he ever live here without any bothersome voices stuck in his head. 

Did I just win the lottery? 

Baekhyun chuckled lightly as he remembered his high school crush era, his bad habit of going to bars just to pick up a fight and entering his restaurant with bruises, then having to fall yet again just like his school days to the guy who never once looked at him (although they had school projects with each other, Chanyeol was still afraid of looking at him straight in the eye). 

After patting his hands on the warm cloth, he went upstairs to take a quick shower, still contemplating whether he was sleeping or was it already a reality.

"Baek where were you yesterday?" Minseok frantically called out the younger, hugging him tightly after he was near him. Baekhyun felt his insides breaking and some bones of his were literally cracking.

"Hmm? I went out around 5 in the morning. Why?"

"We thought you were kidnapped!" Luhan blurted.

"What? No. I was just taking a trip to the park!" Baekhyun defended himself. However, he missed those four eyes on glare at him, not buying any of his words.

Currently, they were all inside Baekhyun's infamous restaurant. They thought he must've gone straight to work and they were right. 

"What will you all like? My treat~!" Baekhyun said rather enthusiastically, it raised suspicions on the two.

—MUIG—

"He never treats us", Minseok pouted.

"He doesn't?" asked Luhan.

"He does when he is trying to hide something."

"Then do you assume he is hiding something?" 

"Probably."

"Then what will that be?"

"Though, I'm suspicious about his night shenanigans."

"Kyungsoo you noticed that too?" Jongdae looked at his friend with wide eyes.

"Well yeah, I hear our door creaks every nine o'clock, something close to that."

"I thought there were ghosts every night", Minseok shivered.

"Really, like what the hell is so awesome at the park that only has a drained lake and some ducks waddling to get to the other side?" Jongdae complained, raising his voice quite higher than intended. Minseok, Kyungsoo, and Luhan shushed him with their pointer on top of their lips. He muttered a quiet sorry.

"Do we investigate, or..."

"We let him be", Kyungsoo stated.

"Uhh why?"

"He'll get busted, either way, I just want to see how long will he last."

"You sure?"

"Duh, plus we can stalk him in the end."

"Yeah true, like what we did to you last time."

"That was unnecessary in my opinion", Kyungsoo snarled at Luhan who was batting his eyelashes like the pretty princess he is, his chin resting on his palms imitating a flower. 

"Luhan, I need you here right now please!" Baekhyun called out for him from inside the kitchen.
