Can We Fix Us?

Chapter 3

*Italics for Japanese*

"Oh gosh! They look so cute!" A silvery voice came from the doorway of the bedroom where a couple comprised of two young men stood, one towering over the other with his hand on shorter male's shoulder.

"Shh, don't wake them up, love," the taller figure whispered, his voice husky and low but still pleasing to hear.

The shorter male pouted and gave the other a small, childish glare. "Don't tell me to be quiet, Chanyeol. I haven't seen Taetae in over two years," the petite male replied, turning his eyes back on the two figures that were occupying the bed.

"I know, Baek, but—" Before Chanyeol could finish, a shifting noise coming from the bed caught the attention of both males.

Taehyung, who had been sleeping on the bed with Miki in his arms, started to show signs of waking up. He moved a bit, scrunching his forehead and slightly opening one of his closed eyes. Taehyung caught the sight of the blurry silhouettes of two humans and immediately looked down, his eyes landing on Miki.

Neither Baekhyun nor Chanyeol moved or said anything. The petite male stood rooted in the doorway, his eyes shining with unshed tears, while his taller companion gently rubbed his back.

After registering in his still sleepy mind that Miki was still in dreamland and that there was a couple standing in the doorway of his bedroom, Taehyung moved his hand to rub his eyes. After letting out a small sigh, he finally opened his eyes and looked at the two visitors.

For a moment, Taehyung simply looked at the two with a blank look until his brain finally processed the fact that both Chanyeol and Baekhyun were standing in his apartment, the petite male looking like he was close to crying.

"Baekhyun Hyung...? Chanyeol Hyung...?" Taehyung breathed in small voice, his eyes widening in shock.

As soon as the younger male had acknowledged the presence of the couple, Baekhyun moved in the speed of light. In matter of seconds, he had jumped on the bed, careful not to wake up the sleeping Miki, and pulled Taehyung into a tight yet gentle embrace.

"I've missed you so much, Taehyungie," Baekhyun whispered while hugging the younger male.

Chanyeol smiled, standing at the foot of the bed, as he watched the interaction between two. It had been three years since he had seen Taehyung in person, and after all the whining and threatening from Baekhyun, they had finally gotten Taehyung's new location from Bogum. The calls in the evenings and video chats simply were not enough for Baekhyun.

Of course, Chanyeol also cared very much about Taehyung — he was a close friend after all — but it was different when it came to Baekhyun and the younger boy. It had always been different when it came to those two, and Chanyeol always understood it. Never once had the relationship between two caused any sort of jealousy or dislike in the taller male. It was hard to hate someone like Taehyung.

Not to mention Chanyeol had really gotten attached to Miki, the small two year old baby that had grown quite a bit since the last time they saw him through video chat.

"Hyung how...? What are you...?" Taehyung couldn't find the right words in his current state, shocked to see his two hyungs in his home.

"Hi, Taehyungie," Chanyeol said, smiling widely at the shocked male.

"Hyung..." Taehyung uttered, tears slowly gathering in the corners of his eyes.

Finally, Taehyung had grasped the situation at hand: his two close hyungs, whom he hadn't seen in three years, were there, in his home, beside him. Letting it all sink in, the tears fell without warning.
