Chanyeol picked up after the first ring, his voice frantic as he cried, "Baekhyun! Where the hell are you? You said at the restaurant you were going home! But you're not here! Where are you?"Baekhyun fought back his tears as he wiped beneath his eyes and shakily replied, "I didn't want to go home. I knew you would immediately follow me and I didn't want to see you." Baekhyun paused to take a breath before continuing. "And it had been you who suggested we adopt! Why would you side with my parents by taking that away from me!?"
"I wasn't taking anything away from you! Baekhyun. All I said was that I agreed. I agreed that we should wait because as your mom said, we're still so young. I want to do things with you, Baek. I want to take vacations with you and lay in the sand with you. But we can't do that when we have a baby." Chanyeol sighed. "Please, just let me have you to myself before we decided to adopt?"
Baekhyun was silent for a moment before gritting his teeth he snapped, "You make it sound like having a baby with me would be the worst thing! Good bye, Park Chanyeol!" Baekhyun yelled before ending the call and throwing his phone to the opposite side of the couch.
Tears immediately began to fall down Baekhyun's cheeks as he buried his face in his arms. His body shaking from his sobs and heartbreak.
In the other room, Sehun had listened to Baekhyun yelling with a frown. When he began to hear his brother cry, he was about to go comfort him when his phone began to ring in his back pocket. He pulled it out and briefly glanced at the caller ID before accepting the call.
"What the hell did you say to him!" Sehun growled upon answer. "He's crying his eyes out on my couch and all I want to do right now is rip your throat out!"
"He's with you then? Fuck! Why didn't I assume that . . .?" Chanyeol trailed off.
"Chanyeol! What did you say?" Sehun demanded.
"I told him we should wait to adopt, Sehun. It's logical but Baekhyun won't listen to me."
"That's because you crushed his dream! So what if you're still going to adopt in the future! He wants a family now, Chanyeol." Sehun sighed.
"But I know where your coming from . . ." Sehun trailed off. "You want to spend time with him. Good. Do it." Sehun paused. "But you can't make him wait. Go to the adoption agency and tell them you're looking to adopt. Approval doesn't happen over night, so as you wait, you can spend time together. You can prepare. Don't just instantly say 'No'." Sehun paused again before continuing.
"Now, get over here and comfort you husband before I decide to kick your ass for hurting my baby brother."
"Damn, Sehun, I don't think I've ever heard you speak so much at once . . ."
"Chanyeol!" Sehun warned.
"Okay, okay! Keep your panties on, I'm on my way now. I'll be there soon and you better let me in."
"I'll think about it . . . See you soon, Chanyeol," Sehun said before ending the call.
"Chanyeol's coming?" Baekhyun quietly whispered.
Sehun nearly dropped his phone from surprise as he spun around. "Baekhyun! I didn't even know you were standing there . . ." Sehun mumbled nervously.
"I heard you yelling," Baekhyun murmured. "And is Chanyeol coming?"
Sehun sighed. "Yes. And you will talk to him. Do you hear me, Park Baekhyun?"
Baekhyun relented and slowly nodded as he mumbled, "Yes."
"Good. Now go sit and try to calm down. Your cheeks are red," Sehun muttered.
Baekhyun nodded and before Sehun could yell at him for not moving fast enough, he threw his arms around his neck. Baekhyun sighed softly and kissed Sehun's shoulder before softly saying, "Thank you, Sehun. You really are the best brother. I love you."
Sehun's lips turned up in a small smile as he hugged Baekhyun back and muttered, "I love you too, baby brother. Now go sit down . . ." Baekhyun nodded and pulled away with a small smile as he made his way back to the couch.
Sehun sighed as he watched Baekhyun take a sit on his couch. Luhan came up behind him then and slide his arms around his waist, he kissed the back of his neck and murmured, "Baekhyun's right.... You really are an amazing brother."
Sehun smiled and turned around, cupping Luhan's cheeks as he bent down to chastely kiss his forehead. "Thank you, Lulu. Without you, I'd still be a sour grump."
Luhan chuckled. "I doubt that. Baekhyun brings out the best in your too." Then Luhan grinned and softly murmured, "I mean, just moments ago I heard you threaten your best friend for hurting your little brother. So no, you wouldn't be a sour grump without me." Luhan smiled and kissed Sehun's cheek. "Now go, I'll be in the bedroom...."
Sehun nodded and kissed Luhan once more before making his way into the living room to Baekhyun.
