"Who is this unknown person standing here naked with only a towel about to head into my precious bath doing in my house?" The person Baekhyun called father asked in one breath. Sehun felt himself standing really still, unable to breathe in fear of the vibe he gave. Baekhyun twitched uncomfortably like he wasn't ready for this situation. He pulled Sehun closer and tried his best to smile.

"I was going to introduce him to you during dinner. Hehe... He's Oh Sehun and he'll be staying here with us starting today," Baekhyun explained and the man raised an eyebrow. Baekhyun gulped. His father started walking towards the shelves and glanced at them.

"I'll talk to you in the bath. Go on in or you'll both freeze to death," his voice softened and Baekhyun nodded frantically. He tugged Sehun who was still quite paralysed into the bath and Sehun gaped at the size of it. It was as though someone had brought in a large hot spring into the house. It was an open area too. He saw Chanyeol swimming as he got pulled closer to the huge... pool. Baekhyun went in first and he offered to help Sehun in.

Sehun placed his foot inside and the warmth from the water spread to his whole body. Something he hadn't felt in awhile since he didn't really shower at the hospital. He entered the water and purred softly, temporarily forgetting everything that had happened but it didn't last long since Baekhyun's father entered soon. Sehun could have sworn he wasn't expecting such a toned man to enter. His father had abs and he was just right in terms of muscle size if that even made sense. The man slid into the water beside Sehun.

"Hey, uncle! Haven't met you in awhile," Chanyeol greeted him casually and the man smiled back. Sehun was surprised again. His smile was soft unlike Baekhyun's cheerful one. Sehun felt awkward being beside the man but he felt rude to just move away too.

"So, tell me why are you staying here," he spoke and Sehun flinched slightly but not at his tone. He just felt finicky about meeting Baekhyun's father. Baekhyun went to Sehun's side and nudged him.

"Uh... Baekhyun sunbae offered me to stay here," was all he could say. He was slightly shaky and he didn't know what to say exactly or how to explain his situation.

"Hmmm. Baekhyun, just tell me the full story." Baekhyun nodded and started telling him about Sehun's house condition and what his parents tried to do and why he offered for him to stay here. He left out the bits of him getting attracted to Sehun and his suicide attempt and their current relationship. His father just listened and relaxed in the bath.

"I see... such people exist even outside of our radar. How despicable," his father whispered and slid lower into the bath until his neck was covered with water too.

"So it's fine if Sehun stays right?" Baekhyun asked with a slightly shaky voice. Sehun watched as his father closed both eyes and relaxed before peeking at Baekhyun with one eye.

"Of course. I'm sure he will be a good companion for you since Chanyeol doesn't drop by that often anymore but there's something I have to speak to you about later," his father replied seriously but maintained a relaxed posture. Baekhyun grinned widely.

"Thank you so much!" Baekhyun cheered and went over to Chanyeol to tell him the news.

"Thank you, sir," Sehun said softly. His father turned and looked at him in the eye, making the younger twitched awkwardly.

"You're quite quiet. Funny how Baekhyun got attracted to you. How are your injuries?" Sehun's eyes widened slightly. Baekhyun's father seemed kind and it gave Sehun a warm feeling. It felt homely although awkward.

"I'm recovering well."

"Good. Good. How do you feel about your parents?" The question caught Sehun off guard but his usual poker face didn't really give away his sudden uneasiness. He wasn't sure how he felt about them but he was silent so Baekhyun's father shook his head. "Sorry. Must've been a sensitive question."

"Ah... no... Sir. It's just... I never really gave it much thought and this is probably the first time someone ask me this. I don't feel... much? To me... it felt like they were just strangers keeping me alive with a sufficient amount of pocket money," Sehun replied honestly since he didn't feel the need to lie. The older male sighed.

"You must have felt like an outcast. Maybe that's how Baekhyun felt too when I wasn't around last time." Sehun's interest was piqued but he saw the distant look in Baekhyun's father's eyes as though many things that had obstructed his relation with Baekhyun had happened. He didn't feel like it wasn't his place to ask anything so he just sat there quietly.

"Sehun? Sehun!" He heard Baekhyun yell but before he could reply, he felt his conciousness slipped away and arms grabbing hold of him.

Sehun blinked. Lay was in front of him but it wasn't the Lay he recently saw. It was the young Lay. The one he was friends with when he was just a child. Lay was crying. Sehun stretched his hand out to wipe his tears but realized he couldn't reach. He saw the handcuff around his wrist. He was in his previous house's kitchen.

No. Why am I here? Lay. Lay, run! Get away from here!! Can you hear me?!

Sehun became frantic. The crying boy didn't look up at him at all. He started pulling his hand out from the handcuff. It hurt. His hands couldn't fit through the handcuff. He could hear footsteps closing in.

No. No no no no. Not again. Please don't. Lay!

The footsteps stopped right outside the door and he heard the knob turning. He shut his eyes close.

Baekhyun. Help.

Sehun shot up from his sleeping position. He gasped and panted. His eyes were wildly searching for something of comfort. Anything. He turned and saw Baekhyun entering the room. His new bedroom. He reached out to his senior who wasn't expecting him to be awake and quickly pulled him close.

"Woah, Sehun. What's wrong? You seem breathless," Baekhyun questioned as Sehun pulled him into a tight hug and tried to calm himself while breathing heavily. Baekhyun didn't ask any further but he turned around and started patting Sehun's head instead. The younger flinched but his grip around Baekhyun's waist tightened. He didn't want to let go. He felt terrified for some reason.

It took Sehun a couple of minutes to cool down and when he did, he loosened his hold on Baekhyun and looked up at the elder's worried expression but Baekhyun smiled at him anyways.

"Did something happen in your dream?" Sehun nodded in response. "It's alright. It's just a dream. You're here with me now." Baekhyun rubbed Sehun's back comfortingly and hugged him again before giving him a soft kiss on his forehead. Sehun looked at Baekhyun's lips but he didn't need to say anything as Baekhyun pulled him in for a kiss.
