While Baekhyun was busy feeling embarrassed, his phone ringed, signaling that someone was dialing him.
He quickly looked at the screen, and accepted the call when he saw that his father was calling. He held the phone close to his ear.
"Hello Baekhyunee! Are you okay? Where are you right now?" The caller questionned, his tone obviously showing his concern and eagerness to know his son's whereabouts.
The smaller smiled with a few hint of crimson on his cheeks, liking the attention that he was getting. "i'm okay dad! You wouldn't believe what happened! So, i entered this coffee shop to get myself breakfast and guess who the cashier was? It was Jongdae, My bestfriend from kindergarten!"
"Oh? You mean that guy who you used to play with all the time?"
"Yes! We talked and stuff like that, and when he knew i was looking for somewhere to stay in he offered me to live with him an his friends! And i only have to pay an amount to help with the expenses."
"I'm happy for you son! i was so worried that you would be homeless. How is the house? and your new home mates?"
"The house is huge! And also well-furnished. I really like it here. And my new home mates are really really nice!"
"That's perfect, son. I wish you'll be living happily now. Now that you're not here anymore, i want you to enjoy your youth okay? I will come visit you sometime if i have time."
Baekhyun felt the gloominess that his father was trying hard to hide. "Dad.. How did they take it? How did they react to me leaving?"
"Ah, well.. Do you want the truth or the sugarcoated lie?"
"The truth."
"Then please don't overthink this. i never wanted to tell you anyways. Your hyung and dongsaeng didn't take it well. They cried a lot and now, they wouldn't leave their rooms. Baekbeom said he misses you a lot and wants you to comeback, and so did your sister. She said she didn't want your room because it's yours and you should comeback."
The petite felt himself trembling, His eyes leaking of hot salty tears. "They.. T-They really said that?"
"Yes they did. They love you, did you think they wouldn't miss you?"
"I thought they would be happy. They always tell me that they would be happy if i ever disappear." He said, his tears still falling down like waterfalls.
"you were wrong. And your mother... i honestly don't know what's on her mind. But she didn't seem happy at all."
"Well, didn't she want me to just go away from her life? i though she wanted our stained family to have its pride again."
"Baekhyun! Calm down, don't talk about your mother like that. See? this is why i didn't want to talk to you about it. Please, just forget everything i said, alright? Will you promise me to be happy?"
"i promise to be happy dad. For you."
"Good. i have to hand up now, i should close the garage already."
"Okay. Talk to you later!" Baekhyun inhaled, "Hey dad, you know that i love you a whole lot, right?"
"I do. and i love you more son. Please stay safe, i wouldn't forgive myself if anything happens to you."
"Don't worry father. i will be okay. Goodnight!"

The petite sighed after finishing the call, feeling his heart ache. He whipped his tears, before deciding to go downstairs to get a glass of water.
He walked downstairs grumpily, not looking at his surroundings. That was until he bumped into something warm.
He slowly looked up, and realized that the person he unintentionally hit was Chanyeol. He felt panic rush over his system.
He bowed multiple times, before he said, "I'm sorry! i wasn't looking in front of me. i'm sorry-"
"Stop." The giant said, frowning. "why are you even bowing? Do i look like an ahjussi to you?"
The petite was startled once again. His hands were shaking in fear. "i-i'm sorry, i didn't know what to do. Of course you're not an ahjussi! If anything, i am the ahjussi for even thinking about bowing, oh my god why do i even-"
"Stop, for God's sake." The taller rubbed his forehead in annoyance. "You talk too much."
Baekhyun suddenly felt his heart ache again. He didn't know why he felt so bothered and sad at the fact that he was a source of headaches to the taller male. "i-i'm sorry." He rubbed the back of his neck, not knowing what to do, before he just decided to go to his first destination.
And just when he only took four steps, He felt a robust, warm hand holding his wrist and wanting to pull him harshly to his previous spot, but he ended up slamming that warm chest for the second time that day.
The two males stared at each other in shock, their faces only centimeters apart. Baekhyun was blushing hard and couldn't move at all.
Chanyeol looked at the small male in front of him, sensing unexplained feelings. He inspected his crimson red face, His wide, innocent eyes, and his pursed, peach colored lips.
But when he felt his heart skip a beat, he quickly backed away, glaring at the boy who made him have such unknown feelings.
"Don't.."
"Don't?"
"Don't look sad because of me," He stopped for a second, not knowing why he was just blurting out random thoughts in front of someone he just met, "I hate it." He reasoned out, coldly.
Baekhyun felt mad at how overpowering the giant male sounded. "Then what am i supposed to do? Kneel for your majesty and be grateful for hurting my feelings?" He said, in a pissed off, sassy tone.
Chanyeol rolled his eyes. "If you don't get rid of that attitude i will kick you out of this house, my house. Now shut it!" He snapped harshly, making the smaller flinch in fear.
The petite, feeling scared and offended because of all the scolding, was at the verge of shedding tears. He muttered a weak 'fine', before running to his new room, locing himself in.
