Tender Love {Chanyeol/Jongin} [English Ver.]

~18~

As Naeun's intention of studying didn't work, she focused on something else: Chanyeol's fur hat. She grabbed it from the coffee table and put it on. She looked at herself in the camera of her phone and liked how it looked so she took a few selfies with it.

Chanyeol came back a few minutes later and fed Youngsoo another yogurt, his favorite, while Naeun pretended to study. After Chanyeol fed his nephew, he sat beside her.

"What's your exam about?" He asked. She showed him the cover of her book, without looking at him. "I see. . . ."

She didn't say anything and kept on reading the same line over and over again. He looked at her, knowing she might be upset because he yelled at her.

"Naeun," he called her. "Are you upset?"

"Hm," she nodded. Chanyeol got closer of her, putting his arm in the back of the couch.

"I'm sorry," he muttered. Her eyes met his and he had a sorry look.

"It wasn't my fault not knowing he doesn't like mangos."

"I know. Sorry for yelling." She looked back to her book, pretending to ignore him.

He tried to meet her eyes by putting his head next her book, but she put it right infront of her eyes, covering her face.

"Forgive me," he asked her as he rested his head on her shoulder.

"Let me study." She shrugged him off.

"Youngsoo-ah," he called his nephew. The kid looked at him. "Isn't noona the prettiest girl in the world?"

"Ani," the kid answered. Naeun inmediately looked at him holding a laugh.

"Really?" Chanyeol asked with a little smile and surprised by his nephew's honesty. "Is there someone prettier than her?" He nodded. "Who?"

"Mommy," he said, innocently, and Naeun and Chanyeol chuckled.

"Aww. Of course mommy is the prettiest girl in the world," Naeun said looking at Chanyeol with a glare.

"I still think she's very pretty. More with my hat." He pointed out that she was wearing his hat. She forgot she still had it on so she quickly took it off.

"Shut up," she said smiling but meaning it. He put the hat on and looked at her smiling.

"You ain't upset anymore?"

"Aish. . . ." She ignored him and went back to her book.

Chanyeol sighed still smiling and rested his head in the back of the couch. He looked at her for a few seconds, inmersed in the text book, then looked at Youngsoo, who was so into The Croods. . . . He stood up and called Naeun's attention. She looked up from the book.

"Come with me," he muttered as he shh-ed.

She sighed and stood up, leaving her text book in the coffee table. With Chanyeol grabbing her hand, they went to his bedroom.

Even though they knew each other for a few months she had never been into his bedroom. For Chanyeol, his bedroom was his private place, where he could do what he loved the most and that no many people knew about; play instruments and compose music.

Naeun looked around the room and it was simple. It had a matrimonial bed with black blankets and two pillows.

She got surprised when she saw the panda he once won at the theme park. She walked to the bed and grabbed it, smiling while remembering that day. Then she looked to the other side of the room, there was a piano and beside it a guitar. He also had a desk with his computer and some other equipment that she didn't know about but was to compose music.
