"Are you sure you wanna watch this, Aeri? It's horror, you know." Chanyeol who was sitting on a couch in the living room carried up his three years old child and placed him on his lap.
The kid named Aeri nodded immediately with a big smile. His little fingers clutched onto his light blue blanket while watching the tv. The horror movie almost started and even it's opening soundtrack sounded creepy. Aeri half covered his face behind the blanket. "Appa, I'm scared." He muttered lowly.
"I told you, baby. Let's change it. What... how about Pororo?" Chanyeol lowly chuckled.
"No, I want to watch this." Aeri refused but getting closer to his appa, caused the old guy chuckled even more. Aeri was adopted by him and Baekhyun since a year ago. They lived happily. However, in these past few months, Baekhyun was busier with his work and rarely spent time at home. Well, officer did a lot. He would go to office before the other two woke up and came home after the two slept.
Chanyeol lifted up his eyebrows when Aeri giggled once the first ghost in the movie appeared out. "Uh? Why are you laughed, baby? You supposed to scream."
Aeri looked up at his dad. "The ghost looks funny. Eomma's make up is prettier than that ghost. I miss Eomma." Yes, this kid spoke a lot compared to other kids in his age.
Chanyeol smiled bitterly and nodded, "Me too." Chanyeol worked as an architecture and lately he didn't had a lot of work. So, most of the day, he would spent time with Aeri at home.
It was twelve at night when Baekhyun came home that night. Unfortunately, Aeri had fall asleep in Chanyeol's arms, on his lap.
"I'm home." Baekhyun lowly said, locked the apartment door and went into living room when he heard the tv sound there.
"Hey, you're home early today." Chanyeol spoke in a low tone, didn't mean to wake their child up.
Baekhyun weakly nodded and took off his outer coat before he approached the two. "Still, I'm late. Baby is sleeping." He sadly muttered, bent down and kissed Aeri on his head.
Chanyeol just silently watched. He missed Baekhyun, same as Aeri. They barely met and even chat tgthr although they lived in a same place.
The brunet took a seat beside his beloved husband and son. He rested his head on the taller male's shoulder.
"How's work today?" Chanyeol lowly asked, eyes glued on the tv screen but his mind was at somewhere else.
"Hm. Tiring as usual." The petite guy half whispered, sounded so tired. He intertwined his delicated fingers with Chanyeol.
"Aeri misses you so much, you know."
"I know."
"This weekend, are you free?"
". . . . I'm not sure."
"See."
"I'm sorry, honey. I--"
"If you don't care about me anymore, at least please think about our baby. He misses his eomma a lot. He always asked me to make you stay at home for the whole day and play with him instead. He even once called you in his sleep."
Baekhyun lifted up his head from Chanyeol's shoulder and looked at the tall guy. Chanyeol's expression tho, obviously disappointed.
"Yeol, you sound so pissed off."
"Yes, I am."
Baekhyun lost his words as he didn't know what to say right now. He worked to get money, for his family. But maybe, he was just too busy with his work life and forget about his family.
