Bittersweet Love

2. Cold

During holiday, Baekhyun spend most of his times on his room or sometimes he go out to meet his old friends; Kyungsoo and Luhan.

Chanyeol caught him go home late several times, but he's not brave enough to tell his parents about this. He's afraid Baekhyun will hate him even more.

You can call Chanyeol is a coward, but he really really serious about not wanting Baekhyun to hate him even more.

"Chanyeol." His father calls him when he was about to enter the kitchen to help his mom to cook.

"Ne, appa?"

"Call your hyung and ask him to go downstairs."

Chanyeol widens his eyes in surprise, afraid he heard it wrong, "N-Ne?"

His dad chuckles seeing his son's reaction, "I'm sure you heard it, Chanyeol. Now quick."

Clumsily, Chanyeol walks toward the second floor and once he stands in front of Baekhyun's room, he doubt on how he knock the door. He looks like a new apartment occupant who want to greet his new neighbor; nervous.

Baekhyun who's currently cleaning his room that actually already clean, tidy even, stops his activity when he hears a knock. "Come in." He says flatly before Chanyeol open the door slightly and he finds Baekhyun is busy with his activity.

"H-Hyung, did I disturb you?" Chanyeol bites his lower lip nervously.

Baekhyun finally turns his body around and their eyes meet. He replies with a flat expression, "Yes."

Chanyeol bites his lip once again nervously. If people see their interaction as 'brothers', they must be find it weird. One of them feel awkward and one of them cold toward the other.

Baekhyun rolls his eyes and clicks his tongue in annoyance when Chanyeol didn't say anything, "What do you want?"

Chanyeol looks down, feeling intimidated by Baekhyun's action. "A-Appa called you to go downstairs, hyung."

Still with flat expression, Baekhyun walks out of his room. Chanyeol hastily gives him a way, he even close the door for Baekhyun. He looks like a maid, you can tell.

"What is it, appa?" Baekhyun asks his father once he sits beside his father who's currently reading a newspaper.

Chanyeol follows him suit. But he prefer to sit on the single sofa that placed beside the double sofa.

"You two, listen up." Their father starts to open the conversation.

Baekhyun cross his arms and put it in front of his chest, you can tell he's curious. While Chanyeol just keep silent and waiting.

"Next week appa will be moved to Australia."

"What?" Both of them say in unison.

"And eomma will come with me."

"WHAT?" Baekhyun even stands from his seat. He looks at his dad unbelievably.

"But appa.." Chanyeol wants to make an excuse, but his dad cuts him off.

"Appa needs mom this time. Australia is not near, my dear sons. And appa is too old to live alone there." He laughs, but none of his sons are even spare a small smile.

Knowing that his sons not going to agree, he clears his throat.

"And appa's sure that the two of you are mature enough to live alone."

"I don't want to." Baekhyun stares at his dad, his eyes almost jump out of its sockets.

"Can you think about it again, appa?" This time Chanyeol is the one who asked, trying to persuade him. No one knows if their dad can change his mind, right?
