Havoc Peace [Sebaek/Baekhun/Hunbaek](Boyxboy)

The (Un)expected Maid

For the third time of the day, Baekhyun missed the chance to mention anything to his father who just ignored him. Every time Baekhyun opens his mouth to say something, his dad will either walk away or make himself busy. He grumbled at his father's cold shoulder attitude. His mother wasn't home and there wasn't anything else he could do but study. He flicked eraser bits into the bin to distract himself from studying. A knock on his room door made him stopped and walked to the door. He opened it and the head maid stood there.

"Young sir, I have an invitation card for you here," She said while handing him an envelope with a royal looking stamp.

"Thanks. Did my father get one too?" He asked and she nodded. She bowed and left. He tore it opened and pulled out the invitation card that smelt oddly like lavender. It wrote about some business party and Baekhyun frowned. He knew he had to go even if his dad refused to talk to him currently. It was either go by free will or get dragged there unwillingly. He sat down again and picked up his phone. That was when he realized he didn't even have Sehun's number. He groaned out of frustration and desperation.

He scrolled through his contact list until he came to Lay's. He hovered his finger above it for awhile, unsure if Lay would pick up or have Sehun's number. He sighed and tossed his phone aside in the end. He laid down on his bed and tried to get some sleep before the party which he knew would tire him out plenty.

He was woke up by the maid just 2 hours before the party. It was a sudden invitation of course and Baekhyun actually was suspicious to when it arrived. His father could have asked the maid to deliver it later so that he didn't have any excuses for not attending. He got up, washed up and prepared for the party with dragged legs. After he dressed up properly with a slight tinge of makeup, he left his room and stopped in front of the room that Sehun had occupied for awhile. He opened the door and walked in.

The feeling of seeing Sehun any time he wanted was still fresh in his mind that he half expected seeing the boy himself there but the empty cold room reminded him of the things he needed to clear up with his father. He laid down on the bed and sighed, suddenly wishing he was just a normal person that can love and be with anyone he wanted. He knew life was never easy but that would have made life nicer. He was about to drift to sleep again when a knock on the opened door made him open his eyes.

"Young sir, I have come to get you. The car is ready...." Baekhyun noticed the head maid's voice drifted away as she looked at Baekhyun. "Are you deeply troubled by this, young sir?"

"Huh?" Baekhyun stuttered in slight surprise. He pushed himself up and shook his head. He didn't want to worry people who had no involvement in his relationship. The head maid pursed her lips and nodded.

"Very well. If you don't wish to tell me, I shall leave it at that. Now then, are you ready to go?" She asked and he nodded while getting up. He was surprised partially because the head maid never did talked to him much. She wasn't one for conversation so Baekhyun felt as though his face must looked twisted with worries. She walked him to the car but he didn't enter it at once.

"Say, what would you do if you found a better family to serve one day?" Baekhyun asked with a slight hesitation. The head maid merely bowed.

"It's not my decision to quit whenever I want but for now, I believe your family is a wonderful one to serve and I have no regrets. If young sir is unhappy with anything, feel free to voice your concerns to me. After all, I have been looking after you since you were young. Your concern is my concern." Baekhyun smiled and she opened the door for him.

"Thanks. You're a really wonderful person. Thank you for everything you've done for us," Baekhyun said and entered the car. The head maid shut the door and smiled.

Young sir has grown. This turmoil he's facing sure made him more mature. May the gods favor him.

Baekhyun made his way through the crowd to the beverage section. The party was held at an outdoor park but luckily the night was cool. He took a glass of champagne before making his way to the back of the park. He needed to get away from the crowd for a moment. Just to breathe. As much as people gather around him in school all day, it was a different experience when the 'people' are all businessmen. He loosened his tie and hid behind a tree. He sat down on the grass with a heavy sigh and started sipping the champagne.

His father was indeed there, entertaining people as usual. Baekhyun wasn't even intending to take over his father's business but he knew his father wanted him to. He just wanted to do what he liked so meeting all these businessmen weren't really helping him break away from reality.

Baekhyun heard grass rustling and froze, hoping it wasn't some businessman wanting to take a piss nearby. He felt a looming presence beside him so he turned around and saw a figure leaning against the tree he was sitting below.

"Huh. I thought I must have seen wrongly but it really is you. Hello," a familiar voice said but the light only made a silhouette visible. Baekhyun stood up, noticing the similar height. The person tilted his body more towards the light so that it would shine on him.

"Kyungsoo? What are you doing here?"
