Chapter 27: The art of deception

HAPPY 1 YEAR TO THIS BOOK!







Johnny lets out a sigh. He finally calms down after a while. "I'm sorry." He says. "I wasn't ok but I'm fine now."

"It's fine."

"It's just that nightmare threw me off. . .but I'm fine now." Johnny lies. He gets back in bed with Taeyong.

"Let's go back to sleep, shall we?"

Taeyong still looks concerned but hums. "Of course."

Nahyun sits in the living room singing nursery rhymes while Amanda cooks breakfast in the kitchen. Chanyeol stays upstairs, cleaning out the closet like he was meant to yesterday. He didn't end up doing so because of Johnny's little visit.

He finishes taking out all the boxes and goes to wipe down the floor. As he's doing so he realizes one of the planks is loose. "That's weird. . .need to get that fixed." He says to himself.

Once he's down he places all the boxes back but realizes there's still one box unopened. It might not be that important or maybe there's just some clothes inside. It didn't matter. Chanyeol is still interested so he opens the box.

Inside are old cups and plates along with pictures of his dad. He chuckles, lovingly as he goes through the pictures of his dad — but when he comes across a torn up photo of his dad and someone's arm wrapped around his dad, his smile fades.

He doesn't know what think. He takes the photo and hides it in his pocket. Just in time because Amanda pops her head in. 

"Get down here. Nahyun is not eating her food again."

"What did you make?" Chanyeol asks. Amanda goes from fine to annoyed real quick. "Just get down here." She huffs before leaving.

Chanyeol rolls his eyes before getting up and leaving.

Taeyong wakes up to an empty bed. He pouts, thinking Johnny had left again but Johnny comes in with breakfast in a tray.

"Wow!" He covers his face with his hands to hide the fact he's blushing. "You made this for me?" He asks.

"Of course. I wanted to treat you." Johnny says, smiling.

"What did I do to deserve this?" Taeyong asks as he sits up.

"Nothing but be the best lover anyone could ever ask for." Johnny kisses his cheek before placing the food down before sitting down on the side.

"Calm down. I need to brush my teeth first. Don't want the food testing like morning breath."

"Hmm, you're right. Hurry up."

Taeyong quickly rushes out of bed and goes to brush his teeth. He comes back when he's done.

Though he was basically on vacation — old habits never die. He stares at the food. Analyzing and assuming their macros to estimate the amount he's eating.

He smiles when he sees Johnny looking at him with a puzzled expression. 

"I'm just admiring your hard work." He explains.
