Chapter 16 - His Family

~~~~

After a 10 minute drive, we made it to Baekhyun's apartment. Baekhyun and I left the car and entered his apartment.

"Sit down. I'll make us a drink, they'll be here in a few minutes." Baekhyun said before entering the kitchen.

I did as Baekhyun said and sat down on the black leather sofa with my hands on my lap and began looking around his living room.

He told me his father is letting him use his old credit card again meaning he's now able to use some of his family's money again.

"That explains how he was able to afford this apartment and all these expensive things," I say to myself as my eyes lay upon a golden ornament that sat comfortably on the marble mantelpiece.

"Here you go," Baekhyun said as he placed down a cup of coffee on the glass coffee table in front of me.

"Thank you," I said as I picked up the cup with both of my hands and began to blow it, cooling it down slightly. "It's hard to believe you were living on the streets a mere month ago." I chuckled. "I'm glad your father is letting you use your families money again."

"Actually Y/N." Baekhyun started before sitting down next to me, also blowing his drink. " My father may have bought me the car but this apartment and everything in it, I bou-"

Baekhyun was then cut off by a knock at the door.

"That must be them." He said before putting his drink down and opening the front door, revealing an older, not so attractive version of Baekhyun and an old man with some grey coming through his roots.

'That must be his brother and father.'

"Who might this be?" His father asked Baekhyun as he stared into my eyes, making me feel intimidated. I could almost feel the sweat on my forehead.

"This is my girlfriend," Baekhyun said without hesitation.

"Ah yes," I said immediately before standing up and bowing. "My name is L/N Y/N. Nice to meet you." I then held my hand out with a smile.

"...Nice to meet you too." His father replied before shaking my hand. "So is it safe to assume that you're turning down the offer to marry Kim Dahyun?"

"..Yes, father." Baekhyun replied. "I refuse to be told to marry someone I don't love. I haven't even met her."

"So. Are you saying that you love miss L/N?" His father asked, making me also look at his in curiosity as to what his reply would be.

Baelhyun's already told me he loves me but that was when we were alone, not in front of his father. The situation wasn't as serious as this either.

"Of course," Baekhyun said, once again, without hesitation. "I love her more than you can imagine."

Mr Byun let out a deep sigh. "Well then, I suppose I'll have to tell Miss Kim the news. She'll surely be disappointed."

"You mean-"Baekhyun was once again cut off.

"If you're in love with her then it can't be helped." His father said before walking towards the front door.

"Thank you, Mr Byun." I exclaimed with yet another bow.

Mr Byun turned around and smiled slightly at me. Suddenly, Baekhyun ran over to him and hugged him.

"Thank you, dad!" Baekhyun exclaimed.

"Your girlfriend is a very polite one Baekhyun, make sure to take care of her." His father smiled before leaving.

Baekhyun turned to look at me and I had never seen such a big grin on his face before. He then pulled me into an embrace as well.

"Well, that went much better than I expected." I giggled.

"Well, to be honest, I was expecting him to stop me from using my credit card again and try once again abandon me. He's strict like that. Dahyun's from a rich family so my dad was very keen on having me wed her... Though it seems my father's taken a liking to you." Baekhyun said before letting go of me.

We both sat on the sofa and continued to drink our drinks. "What do you mean he's taken a liken to me?" I asked.

"You know... That was the first time I've ever hugged my dad or see him smile. Heck, that was the first time I had ever addressed him as dad, every time I ever spoke to him I've only ever addressed him formally." Baekhyun then smiled softly. "You made my father smile, I don't think I've he's even smiled in years. You also gave me enough confidence to stand up for myself and to speak to my father as an equal so thank you. Thank you for being here Y/N."

I sat there dumbfounded. The last thing I expected was a long speech from Baekhyun, though it was nice to hear it.

"I really didn't do much but you're welcome." I then smiled back. "I'm glad I was able to meet members of your family."

"You're really amazing you know that..." He whispered, loud enough for me to hear.

"Ah uh not really." I then felt my face flush.

"You are." He said as he placed his hand on mine.

I then felt my ace turn into a tomato. I looked down at my feet as I was unable to look him in the eye.

"I'll go make us some dinner." Baekhyun said, planting a kiss on my forhead before heading towards the kitchen. "Feel free to do whatever you want while you wait Y/N." He said before entering.

I listened tio what Baekhyun said and decided to explore his rather large apartment. The first place I went to was his bathroom, well I only knew it was his bathroom after entering.

The bath had a birch wood casing and was surrounded by marble tiles. Everything in his bathroom was shiny was was pretty much all marble.

I decided to go into the next room down, which happened to be his bedroom. The room was painted white and he had black bed covers along with black picture frames hanging on his walls, those frames containing artwork I had never seen before.

'Is that his own art?' I thought to myself before looking around his room some more, noticing that while his whole house appeared expensive, his bedroom looked pretty ordinary.

I noticed a smaller picture frame sitting on his desk. In the pucture was 2 young boys, a man and a woman. The taller of the boys must've been Baekbeom, while the shorter one was Baekhyun. The woman in the picture must have been his diseased mother, she really was beautiful. It's clear where Baekhyun got his eyes and cute smile from.

I looked at his father in the picture and while the other three were smiling, he had a completely blank face.

"It's just like Baekhyun said." I said to myself before putting the picture frame back down.

I looked around his room some more to see that one of his clothes draws was left open. I walked over to push it back in when Baekhyun suddenly walken in.

"I said you could do what you'd like, but I wasn't expecting to catch you going through my underwear drawer." He chuckled.
