The Boy That Shows What It Means, To Be Loved

Prologue

Baekhyun's POV:

"Baekhyun, it's time to get up now."

I lazily rubbed my eyes and slowly got up. I looked to my left and the sun was shining brightly. I looked to my right and saw our maid Mary, standing there with a tray of food. I gave her a small smile and got out of bed to get ready. Once I was finished, I went to help Mary with the tray and sat down at my desk to eat. 

Ever since I turned 6, Mary would always help me out and send me food, when my parents were busy. I am always grateful for her, taking care of me. She shown me love like a mother and son should feel. I treat her as my own mother. 

"Thanks for the food, sorry for causing trouble again." I told her. Mary shook her head and put her hands on her hips. "Baekhyun, you know I would always take care of you first. Don't worry, I won't get in trouble. I want you to be well fed and happy." I almost teared up but shook my head, so they won't fall out. 

Mary and I talked as I was eating my breakfast and laughed like everything was okay. Once I was finished eating, Mary took the tray, bowed to me, and went to bring it down to the kitchen. I sighed once she left. I took out my phone and scrolled through my messages. I was in a group chat with my friends. I envy them. They get to hang out but I couldn't. Actually, I wasn't allowed to. 

I am 17 for goodness sake! Let me live! Until graduation, I thought. Once I graduate, I'll leave this place for good. Of course I will miss Mary, but if she wants to come with me, then she can. Before I could reply to the group, I heard my name being called. 

"BAEKHYUN! COME DOWN HERE NOW!" I sighed and quickly got up and went downstairs. Ignoring my eomma and appa would not be good. Last time I did, I starved for almost the whole day, until Mary snuck in some food for me. Once I reached the stairs, I saw a boy who was quite tall, just standing there, looking like a lost puppy. I have to say he is quite handsome. 

"Baekhyun this is Park Chanyeol, the son of the Park's Enterprises. His parents will be away for 3 months and we were kind enough to take him in." Eomma said. I only nodded. "Now Chanyeol, you will be taking Baekhyun's room for the time being. Don't worry, I'm sure Baekhyun wouldn't mind staying in the attic." Appa said. 

Wait...staying in the attic? Are they out of their freaking mind?! There were so many guest rooms and out of all places, I have to stay in the attic? What the f*ck?! I was shocked. "What? Are you kidding me? Eomma...appa...why am I staying in the attic? Actually, why am I kicked out of my own room?!" I exclaimed. 

"Don't you dare use that tone with me young man. Chanyeol is our guest, and your room is the most comfiest of them all." I was speechless. "Why don't we share then?" I said. I looked at Chanyeol, who seems a bit uncomfortable in this situation and asked, "Would you like to share the room with me Chanyeol?" 

Before he can answer, my dad said, "Baekhyun you will stay in the attic and Chanyeol will take over your room and that's final." "Bu-" "I said, that's final." Appa said sternly. I kept quiet and try not to let the tears fall. Chanyeol was looking at Baekhyun, feeling sorry for the boy. "Now, get everything out from your room and move it to the attic." I nodded and slowly went up the stair and began to pack up my things. 

While my parents were busy talking to Chanyeol, Mary sneaked around them and up the stairs to help me pack and move them. I cried silently and felt myself being captured in someone's arms, rocking me back and forth. I knew it was Mary, so she calmed me down and said everything will be okay. Mary always comforted me, whenever she can and helped me out, to make things easier for me. 

After that, we moved everything into the attic. Climbing up the stairs was no joke, when carrying heavy boxes and stuff. A bed, closet, dressers, and an old TV was already there. But everything was so dusty and spider webs were seen everywhere. Ew, gross. Well time to start cleaning up then...
