Red Letter Days

Chapter 5: Peace Offering

Chanyeol's P.O.V

Today's the day. I gulped and looked at my.... Husband, who was sleeping beside me. I furrowed my brows, last night we went to bed angry.For the first time, instead of shouting and fist fighting each other, we completely ignored each other. We didn't speak a word since I stormed off; we did not make eye contact with each other either, but we managed to fall asleep beside each other in the same bed. Something about the entire situation made my heart ache, but I didn't know why. we fight all the time. But this is different. How though, is it because I care? if so, when did it get so gross?

I sat up and grabbed my phone off of the night stand. My phone said 5:59 AM and I know my family would be by the house by 7:30 AM. I looked back at Baekhyun before getting up and walking downstairs to the kitchen. I didn't feel hungry, but decided to cook anyway to take my mind off of the upcoming hours. I started peeling and shredding a single potato for hash browns. I grabbed my largest pan, threw some bacon in the corner, crack an egg, and set the hash browns to the side. Even though doing a lot of dishes would help occupy me a little longer, I prefer to make as little mess as possible due to me hate of cleaning. Hopefully Baekhyun will be the clean one between us.

Once all the food was close to being finished, I put two slice of whole wheat bread in the toaster and heated up a glass of milk for a hot coco. By the time the milk was heated up and I had steered in the mix, the food was finished. I turned off the stove and transferred from the large pan onto a plate and stared at the food for a minute. I didn't really have an appetite, so I searched the cabinet for a serving tray. I placed the food and silverware on the tray and made my way upstairs to the bedroom. Luckily for me, Baekhyun was still asleep. I carefully placed the tray beside him on the bed and grabbed my sweatshirt. Once I pulled my sweatshirt, I took my shoes and grabbed my headphones. Before I left the room, I shook Baekhyun's shoulder enough to make him slowly awake. 

I was gone before he had managed to open his eyes, but I heard a happy, "Holy shit, food."I smiled a little and plugged my headphones to my ears as I go out through the main door. Before my family shows up, I think of myself to go for a jog in a while. 

Baekhyun's P.O.V

"Holy shit, food."I said carefully, reaching for a piece of bacon. As munched on it peacefully occurred to me that I did not know who left me food. I checked my watch and the time said 6:33 AM. Could it be that either Chanyeol or my parents is here and made me breakfast? Is Chanyeol eating with them? or did Chanyeol made this breakfast for me and leave the room? I'll figure it out once I finish my breakfast and go downstairs. 

I ate my breakfast wrapped in the warm bed sheets, it was comforting and the coco made me feel so warm inside that I had almost forgotten about the wedding. Almost. When I finished my food I wrapped a blanket around myself and took the tray downstairs. I saw that no one was in the house. So I guess it's Chanyeol...was this an apology? Should I apologize? What if it's not? Or is it "truce, happy rest of our lives."

Later

It was around 7:15 AM when our two families had started showing up. Right away my mom ordered me into the shower, handing me with a bag that held my suit. I turned on the shower faucet and stripped, neglecting to fully shut the door. I showered hurriedly, quickly scrubbing down my body and shampooing my hair. After I rinsed I turned off the water and exited the shower. Just then I heard a gasp and when I looked to the door I saw a wide-eyed and blushing Chanyeol. He was holding a grey sweatshirt that he threw at me before quickly rushing away. My cheeks flushed when I looked down at the hoodie.
