Ch. 50: Roses and Crafts (Part 5)

Hyunwoo

~fifty three minutes later~

"Hold still. I can't put on the rubbing alcohol on your wounds if you keep moving," Kihyun chastises me.

"Sorry. It hurts," I pouted as he continued to dress the hundreds of paper cuts on my hands.

"I can't believe you actually managed to do this to yourself. I mean I could understand one or two, but like twenty five," he laughs.

"Haha. Laugh it up. It's very funny," I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes at the red haired male.

"Maybe, I will," he jokes as he tosses the cotton swab he was using onto a napkin and grabbed the bottle of liquid bandage. I sighed in defeat and just watched him carefully apply the liquid bandage wincing every now and then. Then, I found myself staring at his face. He furrows his eyebrows slightly and subconsciously pouts slightly. I inadvertently smile at this sight. In that second, he looks up and catches me looking at him. He smiles brightly which caused his eyes to do so too. I might have swooned right then and there.

"There we go. It wasn't that bad, right," he asks as he cleans up and packs up the first aid kit before handing it to another worker who placed a pouch on the table. The worker explains what it is for before leaving. Kihyun picks it up and smells it. "Wah~, it smells so good. Here," he says and holds it under my nose. Instantly, my nose is hit with the strong scent of roses and perhaps a hit of honey.

"Not bad," I lied as I didn't particularly like floral scents. Herbal scents smell better to me. Kihyun nods and inserts the scent pouch into the origami rose bouquet that we painstakingly made. He holds the bouquet to his nose and inhales.

"Hmm, almost like a real one," he says to himself before to looking over to the other couple's table. On their  table, they had seven origami crane ornaments (A/N: Idk what to call them. Lol). Each one of them had different colored cranes. "Wow, they look amazing," Kihyun tells them.

"Thank you. I hope that the kids will like them. Can I see what you guys did," Junmyeon asks while Yixing gently placed their crafts into a large paper bag. Kihyun hands it over and tells him to smell it. Junmyeon looks at Kihyun with a baffled look on his face but smells the bouquet anyway. "Wow, it literally smells like real roses. How did you guys do that?"

"There is a scent pouch inside," Kihyun explains.   

"Ah, I see. What a creative idea," Junmyeon says thoughtfully before handing back the bouquet.

"Indeed," Kihyun says.

"What do you two say about-," Jumyeon begins to ask when a phone goes off. "Oops, sorry. It's the babysitter. Excuse me for a second," Junmyeon says after he glances at his phone. He picks it up, walks away, and talks to the sitter. He comes back after five minutes or so with a worried expression on his face. "It looks like we have to head back earlier than expected. Sehun is throwing a temper tantrum and refusing to take his nap because I am not there to sleep next to him. Jongin is crying because Sehun threw something and it hit him. Jongdae is crying because Jongin is hurt. Minseok , and Chanyeol are shouting at Sehun for hurting Jongin. Kyungsoo is trying to be the peacemaker, but ended up crying too when he got shoved out of the way. And, Baekhyun is hugging Jongin while bawling too. Ugh, things never got like this before" he groans and drags a hand through his hair before taking a few deep breaths. "Maybe, we can do a double date some other time," he says as calmly as he could.

"Don't worry about it. There is always another time. Go take care of your kids," Kihyun replies. I nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then good bye for now," he says to us. Yixing says something among the same line before they took their stuff  and left.

*pregnant pause*

"And then, there was two," Kihyun deadpans in a joking manner trying to lighten the mood.

"Mhmm. Let's get out of here. I still have another place for us to go too," I said.
