Indebted To You (A BaekYeol Fanfic)

Part I

PLEASE READ THIS: Hi! So this note originally said I would still include Kris in this story. However, given certain events that have happened, I will be removing him. I don't really know what the truth is at this point, as I'm sure most of us don't, but I do know that I feel more comfortable just removing him, so please understand my decision. Thanks!

I woke up to my alarm clock going off. I blinked few times, hoping it was a dream, but it kept beeping, so I knew I my luck had run out. I groaned loudly and rubbed my tired eyes. When I finally sat up, I grabbed my alarm clock and threw it on the floor. 

"I heard you the first time," I said, glaring at it as it laid on the floor. I finally got up from the bed, leaving the clock on the floor, and began my usual morning routine. 

It started off with a search through my drawers for a clean school uniform. Once I found one, I grabbed my backpack off my desk chair along with everything else I would need for the school day, exiting my room afterward. I stopped off in the bathroom to change, clean my face a little, and brush my teeth quick. When I was done in there, I went into the kitchen to make myself a quick breakfast. I grabbed the almost empty cereal box from the cupboard, a bowl, and a spoon. My dad came out of his room all dressed for work a few minutes after I started eating.

"Morning," he said, pouring himself some coffee.

"Mm, mornin'," I replied sleepily, finishing my last few chews of cereal.

"Still not eating cereal with milk I see," he said as he rested his back on the counter, now looking at me with an amused grin.

"I'm sorry if I don't enjoy soggy cereal," I replied.

He chuckled before raising his portable mug to his mouth for another drink. "How did I get stuck with such an odd son?" he asked.

"I think what you meant to ask was how did you get so blessed as to end up with a totally unique son," I said, earning another laugh from him. 

"You remind me more and more of your mother every day," he commented as he stood up straight again, his head shaking ever so faintly. 

"I'll take that as a compliment, thank you." He chuckled again at me. It had been a long time since my mom died, so we were able to celebrate her life now more than we mourned the loss of it.

"I should get going," he said after briefly glancing down at his watch. "The boss needed me to come in early today. Have a good day at school and I will see you later for dinner. And please, for the love of god, make your bed before you leave." 

I rolled my eyes and pouted. He just chuckled and ruffled the top of my head as he walked out of the kitchen, double and tripe checking to make sure he had everything before leaving the apartment. He worked for one of the richest CEOs in the entire country as a maintenance man/lawn care person (I guess rich people can still be pretty stingy with money). From what he told me, though, he seemed like a nice enough man to work for. Plus, he paid him very generously for his work.

Figuring it was almost time for me to leave as well, I finished up my cereal, laying the bowl and spoon in the sink after I stood up. I obeyed his earlier words and I went back and made my bed quickly before I left the apartment, too. I usually walked to school because my dad could only afford the car he had and riding the bus alone did not interest me at all. Plus, the walk wasn't that long and on days when the weather decided to cooperate, it was nice. Only a few minutes into my walk, I felt someone jump on me briefly, which almost made me jump out of my own skin from surprise.

"Morning, hyung!" It was Sehun, with Kai and Xiumin only few steps behind him.

"Hey, guys," I said, my heart still trying to calm back down, waving to Xiumin and Kai. They caught up with us a few seconds later
