A blast from the past(Hyunlix)

chapter 24

HYUNJIN

I found myself in an unexplainable situation with both Changbin hyung and  daddy looking at me like I pooped on myself. I shrunk under the gaze of the two men and looked at Jisung who looked at me sympathetically and shook his head indicating that he was in no way getting involved.

"Okay okay fine. I wanted us to have a double date" I lied through my teeth and I could see how none of the two men were believing me. But everyone sat down nonetheless and I breathed a sigh of relief. The two dumbos couldn't see that I was doing that for their asses.

The tension was still there even after I'd asked them what was wrong so I had to step in like the superhero I am and fix the situation. So I pretended to take daddy out for lunch and invited Changbin hyung and Jisung. Much to my dismay they weren't happy with my arrangement.

"Uh so, hyung did you tell Jinnie that you got promoted at work?" Jisung grinned nervously trying his best to lighten the mood and Changbin hyung just shook his head looking bored as though he was forced to be there. I mean if you look at it practically he was being forced to but there was no need to act moody like a heifer in mating season.

"That's nice, congrats" I said flashing my dazzling smile that hyung never failed to compliment but he just looked at me with a poker face before saying thanks as though he wasn't talking to his bestie. My face fell and I looked at daddy with a very pitiful face. I didn't deserve whatever was happening.

Daddy gave me a soft smile and held my hand rubbing soft soothing circles on the back of my hand despite him being mad at me. At least he wasn't going to embarrass me in front of my bestie and his boyfriend. I smiled subtly too and leaned into him and I felt his hand snaking my waist and pulling me closer.

Changbin hyung suddenly cleared his throat and narrowed his eyes at my daddy who raised one eyebrow in a challenging manner probably daring hyung to say something. Hyung just rolled his eyes and focused on the beverage before him as the waiter came to take our orders.

I left the ordering process for daddy to because I'm a prince, well in his life and eyes obviously. Changbin and Jisung ordered for themselves too and the awkward silence took over again as Changbin hyung focused on his phone which didn't last though because Jisung soon snatched it and put it in his pocket.

Before the tension could get thicker than Changbin hyung's arms the waiter brought the food and everyone dug in without any word. Even the word awkward wasn't enough to describe how awkward and uncomfortable it was.

After some time daddy began making small talk with me and my focus shifted onto him. He fed me and made sure  I didn't dirty my new sweater which I'd stolen from his closet." You're fine pumpkin?" Daddy asked as I began to zone out again and I nodded reluctantly as a response to his question.

"I love you" he whispered softly and kissed my forehead making my heart jump higher than Ohtani during a baseball game." Fake love" I heard Changbin hyung muttering under his breath and Jisung pinched his hand disapprovingly.

"I'm fine" I mumbled standing up and leaving my scrumptious steak and mashed potatoes half eaten. I was bored to my very core and I needed some time away from Changbin hyung. Feeling my heart heavy I went outside and I heard daddy muttering a few curses and I couldn't decide if I was pissed off or turned on.

He followed me outside almost about to bawl my eyes out." Is everything fine dumpling? Why did you abruptly leave?" Daddy said softly his deep voice coming out even deeper and holding me in a very gentle hug." Changbin hyung is being very mean" I sighed and he kissed my forehead.

"Let's hope he'll come around soon. For now let's focus on improving your mood hmm?" he said and I nodded excitedly wondering what he was up to. We went to the nearest mall together and true to his word my mood did get improved.

We started with shopping and I picked out hoodies, sweaters, cargos, baggy tees and other stuff. Daddy bought me new dunks and Jordans which I gladly accepted unlike how I would do when we first met. My very loveable daddy then bought me a rabbit stuffy. I actually thought of naming him after Minho.

"Now we can plan for our very own date little one. No double date, just you and me" Daddy said and I nodded quickly jumping and clutching my rabbit stuffy tightly my head bouncing with each jump." Okay okay calm down my sweet cupcake" he said ruffling my hair and giving me a small box of juice before opening the car door for me.

I looked at him with a fake betrayed expression on my face." So if I'm your sweet cupcake, does that mean there's another cupcake you know that doesn't taste sweet?" I said and shook my head in mock betrayal. I saw a look of confusion mask his face before he burst out laughing and shaking his head.

My heart did backflips at the sound of his husky and deep voice laughing heartily at my dramatic antics. The fact that I was the one causing him to be so happy made me so elated in a way I've never felt before. I was so deeply in love with Lee Felix and he was the one to blame.

Daddy started driving home and just as I was slurping my drink my phone rang and it was Minho's video call. I quickly picked it up and put the phone on the dashboard as I waved at him. He was looking so pretty and perfect, his doe eyes staring at me in confusion and his head tilted to the left a bit.

"Are you in a car?" Minho asked in his small cute voice and I just died and came back within a split second." Nope, I'm in a bar" I slurped my drink and Minho did a tch sound eyeing me up and down. I could hear daddy snorting at my response.

"So we're still meeting tomorrow right?" Minho asked chewing at his sweater paws nervously and I nodded with excitement." Yes of course. Is there anything you want in particular that I can bring?" I asked and he nodded. I raised my eyebrow my interest piqued and at its peak.

"Some peace please. Don't cry for your daddy when he leaves" he said innocently his words contrasting his cute voice. Daddy laughed quietly at the savagery I was enduring from the other guy on the side of the phone. I huffed at his statement. I was a big boy who never cried for his daddy.

"Hey, daddy is listening to you" I said matter-of-factly. Minho gasped and hung up at the light of speed without even saying bye to me. I laughed quietly as we started chatting with texts instead most of them being him cussing me out for talking to him in front of my daddy.
