Shameless Love - Park Chanyeol

Emma

While I was gathering all three of our snow gear to the washing machine, Baekhyun noticed my struggle carrying all the heavy materials as he offers kindly "Here, lemme help." He grabs some snow gear from my arms to make it lighter weight as I thank him. Making our way to the washing machine to put the gear in. Turning the knob to start the machine, going back to the kitchen, Baekhyun asks me in a concerned tone "You okay?"

"Y-yeah I'm fine. It sucks seeing Ryder in pain since he's always a ball of sunshine." a light chuckle released from my mouth, so did Baekhyuns' as he says "Yeah true."

Then he said on behalf of Chanyeol "We're really sorry about Sam. He's always getting in trouble, even when we watch him." as I was washing my hands, my thoughts were to why Sam acts like this and he's like about 8 years old, but say to assure him "No, it's understandable."

While drying my hands with a wash cloth, the question popped out of my head when asking curiously "Do you know why he is like that?"

"Honestly I don't even know, I have a theory but it's stupid." curious to what his theory was as I ask "What do you think?"

Taking a deep inhale, said in a low voice so no one else present can hear but me as he says in a serious tone "I think it started happening when Sam's older sister Gyuri was kidnapped. The whole Kyo family looked for her for days, but nowhere to be found. She's probably dead already since it was about two or three years ago."

Honestly, no words came out of my mouth but just shock and devastation to the fact that Sam had to go through that. They must've had a very close sibling relationship, maybe that's why he's always acting out, especially at this young of age. He continues to say in the same tone but pleads me "Please don't tell anyone I said that, there's a possibility that it's not even true."

All I could say was "You have my word." a soft tight smile appears on his face as he then asks "Where is Sam anyway?"

"Oh I told him to go upstairs just so Ryder and him could separate for a little bit."

"Smart... Do you want me to get hi-" interrupting his request, my response was "No I'll get him, be right back." As I head upstairs to the guest room where Sam had to go. Walking into the guest room, my eyes spotted Sam sitting up on the bed looking to the side, viewing the snow falling at the window. Slightly closing the door but not all the way, I make my way around the bed so I could sit next to him as I look out the window too. Seeing the beautiful snow is always relaxing, so this wasn't awkward really.

After a couple minutes of just viewing the beautiful snow, he says in a tired but still snarky tone "If you're going to give me a lecture, I'm really no-" interrupting his comment, I say "I'm not here to lecture you." still looking out the window, not giving a slight glance to Sam, but from the corner of my eye, Sam turned his head face forward still crisscrossed on the bed with a confused look. Then I say "Let me ask you one question."

"Hmm?" still viewing the window, I ask "Do you feel alone?" turning my head to face him as my eyes saw that he had no words. He bit his lip while looking down, probably trying to think of what he needs to respond to my unexpected question, but says still looking down stuttering "N-no, w-why do you ask?"

Looking back out to distance of the window, I say "I'm just trying to think why you always got to get in trouble with people around you. You probably got this tough guy image but in the inside, you are just alone and just want someone to care for you."

Looking at me in disbelief, he says in defense in a louder tone "You don't know me! I'm not alone and people do care for me! I don't know what y-you're talking about."
