Petrichor; an EXO's Xiumin Fanfic

Chapter 10

Waking up groggily, I look around my bedroom, shocked to see Minseok sleeping on the bed with MinWoo between us. One of his hand is on my waist.

"How did you come in?"

"I almost broke the door in worry. But then I remembered that I'm the owner of this house and... what kind of owner I am to not have any spare keys, right?" Minseok bring his hand to my hair, ruffling them a little. "Please don't make me worry like this anymore."

"What happened after - that?"

"You haven't eat yet. Let me get some food for you." Minseok stand up abruptly, trying to avoid my question.

After making sure that MinWoo is still sleeping soundly, I walk out of the bedroom to follow Minseok. Right after I walk out from bedroom, I was hugged tightly by JongIn.

"Noona." JongIn's voice is so low and sad.

When I turn around, JongIn is crying and sobbing sadly. "JongIn? Why?"

"Noona, what is it that you and hyung keeping from us actually? Please tell me, noona..." JongIn tightening his hug to me, crying loudly.

"JongIn, I'm sorry that you had seen this." Bringing my fingers to his face, I wipe his seemingly never-ending tears slowly. I really don't know how I should act around all of them after this.

"JongIn, MinWoo is mine. No matter what happened, I'll make sure that it'll stay that way." Minseok trying to comfort the confused looking boy, before calling for me to follow him. "Come, you need to eat. I just finished reheating the congee for you."

JongIn sit in front of me just looking at us silently as I force myself to eat while Minseok sits beside of me, his hand rubbing my back when I started eating slowly.

"Minseok, I'm okay." I whine when Minseok take the spoon from my hand and tried to spoon-fed me.

"If you can't at least finish what inside this bowl, I'll start buying formula for MinWoo. I can't let you keep on breastfeeding when you don't even eating properly." Minseok sighs loudly as he put back the spoon inside the bowl. "I just check the stock. I don't think we have enough, and now you don't eat... What should I do, dear?"

For the first time since I've met Minseok, this is the first time he look miserable in my eyes. Maybe out of stress, but lately I'm barely able to properly feed MinWoo. I've been trying to hide it from Minseok so he won't get worried of it, but he seems to know about it. Slowly, I bring the spoon to my mouth, forcing myself to eat.

While I'm doing the dishes, Minseok back hugging me tightly. "Where are the others?"

"At the dorms, now." Minseok sigh lowly.

"We owe all of them an explanation, no?" Putting the glass aside, I give a peck on Minseok's cheek. JongIn had left us alone after some time waiting, probably at unease of the silence between us.

"Must we do this?" Minseok's voice sounds tense.

"I can't believe Luhan could see their resemblance of each other..."

Minseok turn my body, properly hugging me now. "I still think MinWoo looks like you more than him." Minseok pull out his phone from his back pocket. "Luhan wants to talk to me. Can I trust you'll be okay alone?"

"I don't think that Sehun will have the guts to come here alone, without the others." Trying to reassure him and myself, I force him to look at me direct in the eyes. "Go, I'll be okay."

"Maybe I should get JongIn or KyungSoo to come here and-"

"Oppa, I'll be okay. I promise." Pulling his hands into mine, I kiss his lips to silence him.
