Chapter:5 "Gloomy Clock"

Chapter:5

I've been busy working on a new song. The company is going to debut a new girl group and me and some other producers are working on their album. The company wants a fresh song but whenever I try to make something it turns out sad and depressing. Great, my mood is affecting my work. My mind is total mess right now.

|| Home , 5:00 pm ||

I got home like 5 o'clock. I walk into the kitchen expecting Baekhyun but it's Suho. "You came home early today?", I get myself some water.

"Yeah, I wasn't that busy...", He was making coffee. "Do you want one?", He points at the coffee.

"Sure. After a long day nothing can beat coffee , specially in this cold weather!", I watch him as he makes my cup of coffee. I ended up staring though. Rolled up sleeves, loosened tie, and slicked back hair, he looked perfect! I'm one heck of a lucky girl, living with such handsome men.

"Where's Baek? He's usually home during this time." I help him take the coffee out to the living room.

"Oh, yeah he just left before you. He said he'll be spending the night at his parents house." He said as he was switching through T.V channels.

We both sipped our coffee in silence. To be honest it was kinda awkward, we have never been awkward around each other. He kept staring down at his phone with a grim expression.

"Is everything okay? I mean... you look kinda down today.", I just had to ask , I can't bear this awkwardness.

He took a deep sigh," Yeah...it's nothing important. just that-" He is cut off by the ringtone of his phone. He groans and shuts the volume down. I take a peak at the caller ID which says 'Mom'.

"Are you sure everything is okay? because can't just ignore your mom's call like that.", I look at him , concerned.

He sighs," They are trying to arrange my marriage to some random girl."

"And you think that is unimportant?", I fold my arms around my chest.

"uh No! I...just don't want to get married right now!", He whines.

"Do you not like the girl? Or is she extremely ugly , or perhaps you have a girlfriend?", I give him a serious glare.

"The last one...", He mumbles. "Then just introduce her to them! What's the big deal?", I give him a nudge on the shoulder.

"No....You won't understand..", he shakes his head. "At least tell me!" ,I insist.

"She's a college student! And it's complicated...", He stares down at his coffee. "Can we just end this conversation? I'm not in the mood right now."

"Yeah, sure. Tell me whenever you're comfortable..", I pat him on the shoulder.

Suho is in his room, Ajummah has gone home, Baekhyun is at his parent's house, Chanyeol still isn't home and I'm here all alone and super bored. Just then I here the door knob turning. Someone is here.

It's Chanyeol and Mi Ran. He held her by the hand. "Hi, Haneul." Chanyeol greeted me, he looks really exhausted.

"Hey, you guys are pretty late.", I look at Mi Ran who is rubbing her eyes.

"I got kinda late picking Mi Ran up from daycare and she got upset. So to make up for that we went to Lotte World and had dinner out." He sighs as he sheepishly grins at his daughter.

"Anyway I'm really glad you're home! I have night shift today and I need to go back and since Ajummah is not here, if you don't mind, can Mi Ran spend the night with you?", He looks at me eagerly.
