Blood of the convenant

Chapter 9

        Xiumin leaned against the car as he longingly watched people walk by with their luggages.

"I need a holiday." He murmured to himself as he leaned against his car.

He really had wanted to run away when he picked up Suho's call, yesterday night and heard that the man who called himself Suho's father was flying in from Taiwan to visit his injured son.

"Most likely, it was just conveniently on his way!" Xiumin thought to himself.

As long as he could remember, Suho's father, Kim Jun had always been a selfish man. He treated everything as business. In fact, he had married Suho's mum, Hae Yi, as a calculated business move rather than out of love. Though, Suho's mum had been the heir to a successful company, she was very different from her callous husband. She was a kind and gentle lady who loved all the boys of EXO as her own. Xiumin only remembered her warmth. He had always wondered why Suho's father couldn't cherish her and see lovely she was. He'd have flings and had kept many mistresses. He hadn't cared for her or for Suho. They were just trophies to him, so it was no surprise when the divorce announcement came.

What was a surprise was  when she had left for China without a word to anyone. Especially, when she had left right after Suho had nearly been involved in a car accident. His father had even accused Suho's mum as the perpetrator who had tried to hurt Suho. He painted a theory that she already had a lover and that she wanted Suho out of the way.

Of course, none of EXO believed him, but what they couldn't figure out was why she didn't defend herself or fight for custody of Suho when everyone knew how much she loved him. She hadn't even turned up in court for final hearing, sending her attorney to represent her.

It had broken Suho's heart. They thought Suho would never recover. Xiumin realised now in actual fact Suho never had.

"Till now." Xuimin smiled to himself as he recalled yesterday night.

He can't remember when was the last time Suho had laughed that hard. It was Luhan who had somehow managed to do that. The way he cared for Suho was so similar to his mother. Xiumin really couldn't believe that Luhan wasn't Hae Yi's own blood.

"Ah! Xiumin!" a gruff voice called out to him, breaking his wandering thoughts.

Xiumin immediately perked up and stood at attention. He gave a small smile to the tall figure approaching him. Suho had obviously inherited his father's height and good looks. It was lucky he had not inherited Kim Jun's arrogant attitude and snobbishness.

The man strode towards him with a smile, that Xiumin knew didn't reach his eyes.

"Good morning, Sir." He smiled. "I hope you had a good flight."

Kim Jun simply nodded as he gestured to his luggage. Xiumin kept his smile as he loaded the luggage into his car.

"Junnie!" A high pitched nasal voice called out.

Xiumin suppressed his shudder as he realised that Kim Jun's latest mistress had also tagged along. He frowned as he tried to remember her name. It was something ridiculous...

"Candy!"

"Yup! That was it." Xiumin subtly nodded to himself as he mouthed the name to himself.

She was young enough to be all of EXO members' sister at21 years old. But she was not innocent by any means. In fact, she still dared to flirt with all of them even when they ignored her completely.

Xiumin ignored the flirty wink she gave him and the brush of her hand against his as she handed him her luggage. He simply nodded at her.

"Xiumin, how is the useless son of mine?"
