A Second Chance

Chapter 11

Jongdae was surprised to see Sehun standing next to Baekhyun when he opened the door. He smiled at them both as he stepped aside to let them in, and Baekhyun handed him a bottle of wine.

Jongdae looked at the bottle and his eyes opened wide in surprise, "Wow, Baekhyun, are you sure you want to open this one?"

Baekhyun smiled and stole a secret glance at Sehun, "Yeah, I have a lot to celebrate tonight."

Jongdae smiled and happily walked towards the kitchen as he held up the bottle, "Minseok, I hope you're making something really good!"

Jongin came out of the hallway after hearing all the commotion, and smirked once he noticed Sehun. He came over to them and raised his eyebrows.

"What are you doing here Sehun?"

Sehun smirked back at him, "Just here to hang out with you."

Jongin laughed, "Sure. I know for a fact I'm the third wheel now."

"Jongin...I'm sorry." Baekhyun pouted.

Jongin waved his hand, "It's fine." He paused as he locked eyes with Sehun, "Hey, maybe I can hang out with your uncle?"

Sehun punched his arm and Jongin let out a large laugh.

Once dinner was ready, Baekhyun helped them set the table, and smiled to himself as they started pulling out the wine glasses.

"Why not let Jongin and Sehun have some?"

Jongdae laughed, "They don't have a sophisticated enough pallet to even enjoy this."

Baekhyun reached around Jongdae to pull out two extra glasses, "Ah come on, this is a big night for me, let everyone have some fun."

Jongdae shrugged his shoulders, "It's your wine."

Once dinner started, Baekhyun smiled at Sehun as he poured him a glass. Sehun looked at Baekhyun in surprise.

"My treat."

Sehun looked around at the table anxiously, only to discover Jongdae and Minseok smiling at him. Baekhyun poured a glass for Jongin as well, and a large smile grew on Jongin's face.

"Go ahead and enjoy it." Jongdae laughed at his son, "You won't be getting such a generous offer from me."

Jongin and Sehun both picked up their glasses to take a sip. Baekhyun bit his lip watching Sehun, curious how he would react. They both made a sour expression and the table broke out into laughter.

"See? I told you you were wasting it on them."

Baekhyun shook his head, "Not at all. I'm happy to share."

While they were all busy eating, Sehun went back to his glass multiple times to take a sip, he really wanted to adjust himself to it, but each time he ended up making a sour expression. Baekhyun squeezed his leg under the table as he silently laughed at him.

"Oh, I just remembered." Minseok suddenly called out as he lowered his silverware. "I found an interesting photo recently. I wanted to share it with you guys."

Everyone watched Minseok curiously as he got up from the table and left to go down the hallway. He soon returned, and placed the photo down on the table.

"Now that everyone knows about Baekhyun's little secret, I thought you guys would find this pretty amusing."

Baekhyun leaned forward and examined the photo. It was one of Jongin's birthday parties, he looked like he was around ten years old. Baekhyun was kneeling down, helping Jongin and another boy with their party hats. Baekhyun held his breath once he recognized the boy's features.
