BABY WANT, BABY CAN'T BABY ALL THE WAY

Light, reflection and daddy kris

The hallway light is the only sign of light when Kris came home. He went to his friend's bar and drank himself full. As he anticipated Sandara locked the door and won't let him in. Walking towards the end of the hall he knocked and called for his male bestfriend.
Chanyeol already anticipated he will have a roommate tonight but seeing Kris all drunk and dissaray is not what he prepared himself for.
"Where have you been?" Chanyeol asked as Kris invited himself, walking slanted towards the right.
"Up top drunk," Kris answered while removing the contents of his pocket trying to put them nicely on the table but fails due to drunken eyesight.
"Let me help," Chanyeol said picking up Kris' phone and wallet. He checked the others pockets and helped him out of his jacket and shirt. Kris took off his jeans and walked slowly towards the bathroom.
Chanyeol already prepared the bath from him so all he did is dip himself to the warm water. Chanyeol followed inside the bathroom and sat at the toilet seat with the lid closed.
"Why did you drink? Sandara waited for you so that both of you can talk about earlier," Chanyeol said.
"What are we Chanyeol?" Kris asked after submerging his head with the warm water. Chanyeol prepared the water with milk liquid soap that Kris loves and he thanks his friend for knowing him.
"What do you mean? Speak human," Chanyeol asked.
"Inoue, she asked me who is Dara in my life, what are we?" Kris asked again.
"Uhm, well, you are dad and she is mom," Chanyeol answered scratching the back of his head.
"Well, yeah but, is she my girlfriend? partner? definitely not my wife," Kris answered laying back letting the water level touch the base of his neck.
"I thought you already talked about it when you decided to raise the kid together?" Chanyeol asked looking at his friend.
"Well, what we only talked about is me caring for her until she gives birth and taking care of Bunggeoppang, but, what we are was never part of the conversation," Kris answered.
"Well, do you love her enough for her to be your girlfriend?"
"I don't know, up until now I still think of her as Dara, my bestfriend, the girl who helps me last during exams and wakes me up for class back in highschool, but when I look down to her stomach I can't find the correct term for her, all I know is 3 months from now I will be a father to a child that, that change my life, probably forever," Kris answered.
Chanyeol stood up and motioned to leave the room.
"I advise you to think of things through for now, my room is always open for you, well, it's your house, but, just please, don't take too long, Sandara is hurting too," Chanyeol said before closing the door.
Kris submerged himself underwater and let the water remove the effect of the Screwdrivers he consumed that night.
----
Sandara woke up alone and it took her tired mind minutes before she remember what happened the other day. Her child is kicking and it reminded her of the day she was brought to the hospital because of difficulty in breathing.
She was aware that Kris came inside her room and she felt Kris' worry of her lying at the hospital bed. She wants to open her eyes and move to hug him and tell him she is fine but her body won't respond. She felt Kris rest his sweaty forehead against her stomach.
"Hey there kid," Kris greeted.
And her kid made the best response for daddy. Bunggeopang kicked. It has been happening for days already and she was not able to tell it to Kris for he is busy in school. Days passed that Kris won't even look up or flinch from his table as he prepare for his presentation.
"Hi there, are, are you alright Bunggeopang? what happened to you? huh?" Kris continued to ask as he soothed his hands on her stomach. Sandara felt something wet coming from Kris' eyes and she knew then that the other is crying. Slowly she opened her eyes and tried to keep still not to ruin Kris moment.
"Dara," Kris finally noticed her looking at him.
"Hi," she greeted.
"Don't scare me anymore, okay? and when you are sick, instead of pushing me away, let me stay beside you," Kris pouted touching the tip of her nose with his finger.
A knock brought her back to reality and slowly she stood up to open the door. She knows its going to be Kris getting clothes to school and she plan to talk to him now. But as the door opens its Chanyeol whom she saw.
"Good morning," she greeted.
"Kris? did he go here?" Chanyeol asked.
"Huh, no, I just woke up and I did not see him, why?" Sandara asked.
"Shit, uhm, don't stress yourself, everything is fine, okay?!" Chanyeol said going back to his room but Sandara caught his arm.
"What is happening?" she asked.
Chanyeol handed her a note.

Chanyeol,
I'll borrow some of your clothes, use my car as long as you want, but don't scratch or dent it. I will just leave for now. Take care of Sandara for me, for now, I will be back, but I don't know when.
Wish me luck.

-Kris

Sandara reached for the door frame for support and Chanyeol was there to catch her. She feels guilty now and as if Bunggeopang knows what is happening a kick to her rib was made.

Where did Kris go?
