"Dad, are you going somewhere today?" Baekhyun asked when he saw his father fixinf his suit infront of the mirror. He just happened to pass by but then he got curious and just asked his father. Seeing him there, Baekhyun's father on the other hand smiled as he approached his son.

"Yes, I need to talk to some of my investors.. Is there something wrong?" His father asked and Baekhyun frowned thinking that his father had already forgotten what day it is. "Nothing.." Baekhyun muttered and his father chuckled before ruffling his son's hair.

"Ey, I didn't forgot your birthday buddy. I'll be home early, I promise" His father said but Baekhyun can only force a smile. Of course, he understans that his father has responsibilities outside but he just can't help but to sometimes feel jealous about it.

"You promise?" Baekhyun hopefully asked and his father nodded with a reassuring smile plastered on his face. "What do you want to do on your 15th birthday? Party?" His father asked and Baekhyun frownedat the thought of having a party before shaking his head causing his father to chuckle.

"Dad, I'm a man now" Baekhyun said while showing his 'imaginary' biceps to his dad who just laughed at him. "But you'll always be my baby boy" His father said before ruffling his hair again and Baekhyun grumbled in embarassment. Of course he likes it when his father treats him that way but somehow, he feels like he needs to grow up and be just like his dad.

A man.

"Urgh, dad stop it. what if someone hears you?" Baekhyun asked and his father smiled. "Is my buddy shy?" His father asked and Baekhyun tried to hide his smile with an annoyed look on his face but he wasn't able to as he ended up supressing a smile.

"Dad come on.." Baekhyun whined then covered his mouth causing his father to shake his head.

"So what do you want to do later?" His father asked and Baekhyun sheepishly smiled. "Dinner then.." He said but stopped when he then again gave his father that sheepish smile of his.

"Then?" His father asked.

"Let's play softball?" Baekhyun asked unsure whether his father will disagree or would just let him be. But then the mood suddenly turned serious when his father changed his expression, it was one Baekhyun know too well. It was the look he has when he doesn't want it.

"Sorry dad, I'll change--" Baekhyun said but his father cut him off when he smiled again. "Alright, my buddy's wish then" His father stated making Baekhyun smile widely.

"Really dad? You'll let me play softball now?" Baekhyun asked with so much excitement in his voice and his father nodded before patting his shoulder.

"Of course. But in one condition" His father said with a serious voice. "What is it dad?" Baekhyun asked.

"Take care of mom in the meantime, she said she's not feeling well. Is that alright?" His father asked and Baekhyun nodded his head knowing how much his dad worries about his mom.

"Alright dad.. You can trust me" Baekhyun said and his father nodded before walking out of the door. As he watched his father leave, Baekhyun smiled and thanked the heavens for having such a wonderful family, a wonderful dad and a great mom. He knew that living a life like this wasn't easy at all, even when the others want it just because of all the riches and fame, some people who were in this situation wished that they aren't because money and lack of time can ruin the best bond.

Almost all his friends in school despises their families, sometimes because they parents divorced because of the lack of time or just because they are given difficult responsibilities even at a young age. But he didn't went through that, his father always makes time for him and his mom and his father avoided to give him difficult responsibilities as much as he could.
