Chapter 4

Next Morning

Chanyeol POV

I lay there silently next to the passed out boy. He turns away from me and pulls on the sheets, nuzzling his nose into his pillow.
"Baek," I whisper as I wrap my hand around his waist and gently kiss his shoulder. "We need to bathe,"
"Mrgnh," the petite groans, clearly not being satisfied about getting up.
I smile and chuckle as I start heading over to the bathroom.

I turn on the tap to fill the bathtub and pour a bit of gel soap in. Soon, the bath gets filled with foam, the bubbles escaping and hovering in the air. I open the cabinet and take some red, scented rose petals out. I then sprinkle them on top of the water.
I stroll back into Baekhyun's room and go over to the bed. I uncover his small body and lift him up bridal style.
"Nooo, I don't want to get up," he muffles with a croaky voice, rubbing his eyes.
"Well we have to bathe Baek,"
The smaller groans again and wraps his arms around my neck. I carry him to the bathroom and set him down on the sink counter. I take my grey underwear off before going over to take his off. I make my way into the tub and sit, gesturing for him to come over. Finally, he places one foot into the hot soapy water, flinching at the sudden warmth of the liquid touching his skin. He sits in front of me, his back on my chest. I wrap my hands around him gently and giggle. He tilts his head back and rests it on my shoulder, "I love you,"
"I love you too," I smile.
The smaller shuts his eyes and laughs to himself.
"Why are you laughing,"
"My ass hurts,"
I chuckle and kiss the back of his neck, "That's a good thing,"

We finally get out of the, now cool, water and dry ourselves off. I walk back into his room in just a towel around my waist.
"Baekhyun-," his mum turns around to find a half naked boy. "Ah, Chanyeol. Did you sleep well?" she chuckles to herself as she folds clothes, neatly putting them in Baekhyun's wardrobe.
"Y-yes I did, thank you," I scratch the back of my neck in embarrassment.
Baekhyun walks in and hugs me from behind,
"Can we go back to bed?" He says before spotting his mum. "Oh, hi mum. What are you doing?"

"Folding your clothes. And you two need to get dressed. No more "sleeping" ok?"
"Fine," Baekhyun rolls his eyes before walking over to his wardrobe to pick out a shirt.
"Oh, and how is it that everytime I see you two, you're either half naked or you're undressing each other?" She jokes as she walks to the door, closing it behind her.
We both glance at each other before bursting out into fits of laughter.
"It's so true though," I say through my laugh as I walk over to my bag. I take the spare clothes out and drop the towel off my hips. As I start putting my underwear on, I notice Baekhyun sitting down on his lounge chair, rather awkwardly, and staring at me with a smirk.
"What?" I ask as I unfold my top.

"Nothin,"

"Are you suuure?"

He smiles, "I just can't believe that you're mine,"

"I'm your's huh?" I pull my top over my head, "Well, I think, if I'm yours, we should go for round 2. At Suho's party on Saturday," I say cheekily.

Baekhyun smirks again, "What if I'm still in pain by then?"

"Then you'll have to endure it," I lean over and kiss his forehead before returning to dress myself.

I sink into Baekhyun's soft bed and watch as he puts his last sock on when suddenly, his concentrated facial expression changes. He slowly looks towards me, "Um, Chanyeol," he looks down to the floor, "I was wondering... H-have you told your dad yet? About... About us"
I bow my head to the ground and stay silent for a moment, fiddling with the rips in my jeans.

"N-no... I haven't,"

The smaller sighs and sits down on the bed next to me, nuzzling his face into my shoulder, "We have to tell him,"

I shake my head, "I need to tell him,"

Baekhyun wraps his arms around my stomach and we just, cuddle. My head fills with hundreds of scenarios that could come true if I told my father. But, none of those scenarios, seem to end with a 'happy ending'. My thoughts are abruptly interrupted by Baekhyun's mum's high pitched yell,

"BREAKFAST IS READY! I SWEAR IF YOU SLEEPY HEADS HAVE GONE BACK TO BED, THEN THERE WONT BE FOOD!"

Baekhyun's grip around my stomach loosens as he pulls away and looks into my eyes, "We should go get food,"

I give a little smile and nod.
