SOFT BUN || markhyuck

3.

'Don't leave me!'

Sighing for the millionth time Taeil went closer to the boy who was sulking on his bed wrapped up in his sheets.

'Look....even if I'm going it must be best for everyone. But I will miss you of course.'

Haechan not being satisfied by the answer started ruffling in the sheets. His whines getting louder every minute.

'After all, I'm sure the newly hired maid would be a lot friendly than I am.' Taeil tried to reason with the boy who has been following him around every corner of the house since he heard that he had to leave. Of course, the older couldn't tell him that he was forced to leave the place since his family lives were at stake. It's not like the boy would understand in the first place.

'But I don't want any other maid!' He whined louder and louder each time. 'I want you to stay!'

'I don't care if the maid nice. I want my Taeil hyung!' He never used proper sentences when one was not listening to him.

'Your Taeil hyung huh?' He smiled under his breath. He knew the boy was just trying to get to him. He knew him since he was a fetus.

He cupped his face looking straight in his eyes that were already filled with crocodile tears.

'If you whine more and not listen to what I say I'll just leave without saying goodbye...so be nice while I'm still here okay?' His voice got soft at the end when the tears finally left the eyes and down his squishy cheeks.

His chin trembling as the older raised his voice at him.

'Now stop being a cry baby.' Turning around he went back to packing his things.

'Haechan not cry baby! Haechan is a big boy!' He hated it when someone called him a baby. He pouted in the end as he whipped the tears with the sleeves of his sweater trying to look strong but ended up looking like a soft bun.

'Good if you're not-'

'Haechan will hate the maid! No nice manners! He will tell him to go back!'

'Can Haechan please stop referring to himself as a third person?' Taeil facepalmed. This is going to be a long long night.

'What's a third person?' He tilted his head not understanding what the boy meant due to his lack of brain cells.

Before Taeil could say anything else he felt a pair of arms around his waist and a head on his back.

'Warm.' The boy said but it ended up sounding muffled as his face was buried in his back.

'Haechan...You know I'll miss you a lot. It's gonna be hard but we all have to leave one day right?' He smiled as the boy started rocking back and forth. Putting his hand on the youngers and holding them tight. 'I'll miss my little boy so so much. Don't be mad at me for calling you little, please...Be a good boy and show the other maid all the good things I taught you huh? I'll write to you every weekend. You better not forget to write back or I won't let you call me hyung!'

'Haechan doesn't want you to leave.'

'I know. Let's go now...I have to leave.'

'But-'

'No buts mister!'

'Take me with you!' Taeil laughed out loud making the boy furrow his brows at him wondering if he said something funny.

'If I do that they'll hurt hyung a lot you know.'

'But hurting others is bad!'

'Yes, it is. And since Haechan is being a bad boy right now and not listening to hyung, hyung is getting hurt.'

'I'm sorry.' He moved his head down as Taeil turned to him. Kissing the top of his head and ruffling his curls.

'Come on now...Won't you walk hyung out? I also have a little present for you.'

The boy looked up so fast with shiny eyes holding his hand as he stared at him with a big smile on his face. 'Present?'

Nodding his head they both made their way out.

Standing at the porch of the huge house, Haechan was still holding the olders hand tight having no intention of letting it go.

'Haechan..'

The boy turned to the older.

'...the kitchen. I made lots of soft buns you like.'

'Really?' The boy jumped in excitement.

'Why don't you go get them huh?' This was the only way to let the boy go. Taeil knew he would never let him leave just like that if he wanted to. He had to make an excuse.

'Let's go get them together hyung!' The boy moved to run inside but was held back by the older.

'Why don't you go get them..I'll- I'll wait here hm?'

Haechan looked at him with curiosity. He gasped cutely and cupped the older face standing on his toes (Taeil's taller than him) when he saw tears coming out of his eyes. Wiping them with his sweater.

'Why is hyung crying? Is hyung tired from work?'

'Yes. Very tired.'

'Does Haechan make hyung work a lot? Haechan is sorry. If Haechan becomes a big boy and wears his own clothes and eats his food will hyung stay?'

Taeil grabbed the boys' nape and pulled him towards him kissing his forehead.

'Why don't you go get the buns..someone else might eat them you know.'

'Haechan bring them. Hyung stay.'

Taeil just smiled.

'Haechan!' Taeil called out to the boy who was a bit further away.

'Take care of yourself!'

Haechan giggled and ran to the kitchen finding his hyung silly as to why would he need to take care of himself when he will be there to do it better.

When the boy was out of Taeil's sight he stood there for a good few minutes. The house was pretty damn big so it was going to take Haechan a bit longer to get to the kitchen and come back meaning enough time for the older to leave the house without hearing his loud cries.

With that said, he turned around and made his way out the gate.
