Chapter Thirteen

Waking up the next morning, Baekhyun's body felt very sore and with a soft grunt he stretched out his tired muscles. He rubbed his eyes before blinking around the room, and taking in his surroundings with a faint curve of his lips. Chanyeol's side of the bed was empty, and Baekhyun scooted towards the edge of the bed before standing up.

Since Chanyeol wasn't in the room with him, he took the moment to look around. He looked at the pictures Chanyeol had on his bookshelf, and ran his fingertips along the book spines, curious what Chanyeol liked. He smiled when he recognized titles and authors he liked himself, and then he went on to look at other things.

He was looking at more pictures when the door opened behind him, and he spun around with a startled gasp, causing Chanyeol to chuckle before asking, "Are you hungry? I made us breakfast."

Baekhyun smiled and walked towards him as he softly replied, "Yeah, food sounds really good right now."

Chanyeol smiled and held the door open further for Baekhyun to squeeze pass him, and before they reached the kitchen Baekhyun could smell the delicious artery clogging scent of bacon. He happily skipped into the kitchen and smiled his thanks when Chanyeol pulled out his chair before placing his plate of eggs, bacon, and toast down before setting down a glass of orange juice.

Baekhyun took a bite after Chanyeol had settled at the table with him, and he hummed at the rich taste of the bacon and the perfect fluffiness of the eggs. He softly moaned at the deliciousness of the food and covered his mouth when he said, "This is so good."

Chanyeol smiled. "Thanks."

Baekhyun nodded and ate another mouthful of eggs before mumbling, "When is your sister coming?"

"She said she'd call me when she was on her way...." Chanyeol replied before taking a bite of his toast.

"Okay, I'll make sure I'm gone by then . . ." Baekhyun said.

"O–oh, you don't have to go . . ." Chanyeol trailed off.

Baekhyun felt a small blush creep over his cheeks before he muttered, "I have to dig my car out of the snow, and I still have to drive an hour and a half to my parents house. But I would love to stay, I just can't . . ."

Chanyeol nodded. "It's okay, I understand. We can see each other Year News Eve, if you'd like?" Chanyeol said with a smile.

Baekhyun nodded. "I would like that," he replied before taking a drink of his orange juice, and as he was taking a big gulp he suddenly had the urge to go to the bathroom. He pursed his lips and placed his orange juice down onto the table as he asked, "Where's your bathroom?"

"Ah, just down the hall, the first door on the left," Chanyeol said as Baekhyun stood up. Chanyeol frowned curiously and almost stood up too as he asked, "Are you okay? You don't feel sick do you?"

Baekhyun shook his head with a reassuring smile before he gently replied, "No, I'm okay, I just have to use the bathroom. So no need to worry." Baekhyun smiled before he left the room, and before Chanyeol could leave the kitchen he quickly grabbed a pregnancy test from his coat pocket before dashing to the bathroom.

He closed the door behind himself with a heavy breath, his heart pounding as he quickly unwrapped the pregnancy test before peeing on it. He messily washed his hands and sat down on the toilet bowl lid as he impatiently tapped his foot, waiting for the test result. And as he waited, memories from the night before rushed back to him and he felt a tightening in his gut. He didn't know if having his insemination the same day he had sex would mess with the results, and he silently prayed for something good.

Chanyeol was cleaning up the kitchen when he heard the front door open, and thinking that it could be Yoora arriving early, he shouted, "Hey, I'll be right there!"

"For what?" called back a voice that wasn't Yoora's.

Chanyeol dropped what he was doing before going into the living room, and crossed his arms as he glared at the person in the closed doorway as he demanded, "Why did you bail on me yesterday?"

"I was doing things," replied his roommate just as the bathroom door clicked open from down the hall. "Is someone else here with you?" they asked curiously.

Chanyeol nodded. "Yeah, I let a friend stay the night because their car got stuck in a snow drift...." Chanyeol replied.

"Who is it . . .?" they asked just as Baekhyun walked into view; his face was pale and the hairs around his forehead were matted from possible sweat.

Baekhyun glanced up when he heard another voice, that sounded vaguely familiar, and he gasped when their eyes connected as what remained of his rosy complexion blanched of all it's color, and he confusedly whispered, "Sehun...."
