Chanyeol

"Baekie!" I yelled as soon as I had opened the door to his house. "Baby!"

I heard footsteps rushing down the stairs and before I knew what was happening he had jumped into my arms, legs wrapped around my waist and arms around my neck. "Yoda!"

Unlike usual I didn't tell him to stop calling me that. I just held him close and kissed his cheek. "Hello beautiful."

His giggles got muffled by my neck as he pressed his head into it. "I didn't know you were coming."

"I wanted to see my baby boy," I carried him up the stairs and walked into his bedroom, placing him on the bed. He looked up at me with a grin on his face as he pulled me down next to him, snuggling closer.
I stroked his hair and kissed his temple, trying my best to hide how nervous I was. Kyungsoo didn't really explain anything to me. All I knew was that because of him Baekhyun and all of our friends were in danger.
I couldn't help, but feel the worry being replaced with anger.

Baekhyun noticed how I tensed and pressed a kiss in my neck. "Something wrong?"

"No." I hummed at the feeling of his lips against my skin. "I missed you."

"You were so busy lately," Baekhyun replied and kissed me again.

"I know and I'm sorry. I should have at least stayed one night." I smiled at a thought that came to mind. "Hey Baekie."

"Yes?" He rested his head on my chest and rubbed my stomach.

"Remember when we talked about buying a house together?" I asked while tangling my fingers in his hair. "Maybe we should just do it."

He lifted his head to look at me. "Are you sure?"

"Of course. You are the love of my life baby." I grinned at him, making him blush. "Or don't you want to?"

"Of course I do!" He almost yelled. "You were always the one to push the subject aside."

I chuckled softly, "true."

He leaned in and pressed his lips on mine. My hand traveled to the back of his head and pulled him even closer, earning a moan. I pulled back, not wanting to take this any further.
"Can I ask you something?"

He nodded, "sure."

"What do you know about Kyungsoo?"

"Kyungsoo?" He questioned. "Why?"

"I'm just curious." I replied with a shrug.

"We became friends in high school. He was the quiet kid in the back of the class that everyone disliked, but I started talking to him and he was actually really nice. We became good friends, but then some things happened and he said he needed to go away for two years." He explained.

"Why?" I asked while rubbing his arm.

"I don't know if I should tell you this Chanie. It's quite personal." He frowned and glanced at me.

"He owes me an explanation." I thought back at earlier today and grabbed his hand. "Please tell me."

He blinked in surprise from the sudden change in my voice. "Why does he owe you?"

"I've seen things today, just please, tell me." I rubbed the skin of his hand tenderly.

"He went to prison, but he never told me what he did. I found out around the time Jongin got shot." He stopped for a moment and I realised his bottom lip was trembling. "Please don't cry baby." I pulled his head against my chest, trying to comfort him. "Please tell me." I didn't want to push him, since I knew he missed Jongin and was worried about him, but I really wanted to know what kind of situation we were in.

"He... He killed... He killed Jongin's father." Baekhyun stammered.

Just as I wanted to reply we could hear the front door open and close. I carefully pushed Baekhyun away and stood up.

"Who could that be?" Baekhyun asked from his position on the bed. "No one has a key."

"Shh," I placed my finger on my lips to tell him to be quiet. I grabbed Baekhyun's baseball bat and waited.

"You are scaring me Chanie," Baekhyun spoke again.

"Be quiet," I whispered.

The footsteps were now walking up the stairs, so I raised the bat in the air, ready to attack.
They stopped in front of the door and I held my breath.
The handle was pushed down and the door swung open.
I crashed the bat down and hit the person on the head. Baekhyun squealed.

The man held his head in pain and winced, "aish that hurts!"

"Who the hell are you?" I asked, still holding the bat.

"I'm Dongsun, Kyungsoo's uncle." He answered.

"Oh..." I lowered my weapon. "I am so sorry. Are you okay?"

He nodded and rubbed the sore spot, "damn, that's gonna be a big bruise."

"You could have at least yelled you were coming in peace." I placed the bat in his usual spot again before walking back to the bed. Baekhyun was looking at us with big eyes. I hugged him and rubbed his back. "What's happening?" He asked softly.

"Well, I'm here to protect you guys," Dongsun explained. "Do you have some ice for me?"

"Yes, but protect us from what?" Baekhyun pulled away from my embrace to look at the man.

"Kyungsoo told me you know what he has done and that is probably the reason for all of this."

"Did they take Jongin?" Baekhyun asked. "He didn't go away because he wanted to, right?"

Dongsun nodded. "I'll be right back okay?" He walked out of the room to go to the kitchen.

Baekhyun pressed his body against mine again so I wrapped my arms around him. "Chanyeol?"

I hummed in responds and kissed his hair.

"I'm scared."

"I know, but I'm here. I'll always protect you baby."
