SOFT BUN || markhyuck

16.

When I opened my eyes the next morning, I stayed down staring at the ceiling of the small room. It barely fitted my legs in both way. The sunlight peeking through the small window in the wooden wall high up traced out the window bars over the door. The birds chirping could be heard. The wooden floor under my buttocks squeaked as I sat up. What time is it? I searched for the small broken clock that I brought with me here. 11:38

I slept in. Before going to bed last night I took a shower so the only thing to do now was to change out of these clothes and wash them and well.... right that brat. I made my way to his room, without knocking I slid open the door. The past days I spent I realized that he never opens the door himself even if I knock so might as well. There he was. Sitting on the edge of the bed wiggling his legs.

He looked up as soon as I came in view and smiled getting up excitedly. I smiled back when he came close and stood still looking up at me. As my eyes went down to check how much of work I had to deal with today starting from changing his clothes, they were changed already and surprisingly the right way this time.

'Shall we go for breakfast?' and he nodded.

I extended my hand to him as I took a few steps to the door. He looked really happy that I did and held on tight through his long sleeves. This boy really loves over sized sweaters. He jumped and wiggled and what not on our way to the kitchen. But I kept quite trying to keep my eye on him which was pretty damn impossible to do. I dragged him to a stool at the counter and went to help make breakfast. His eyes were on every move I made. I stuffed it all neatly in a little basket which he stared at curiously.

'Did you not brush your hair today, Haechan?' he gasped notifying me with his reaction that he clearly forgot but I let it be just for today. For some reason he looked acceptable today. Maybe he did every day but I never noticed oh well.

When we reached the back lawn and on the path we went to a walk on he finally asked which he clearly looked curious about for the past half hour. 'Where are we going, Minhyung?' he never looked at me as he questioned rather swinged our entwined hands back and forth. My other hand held on the the basket and a blanket.

'For a picnic since the weather is nice today,'

'Picnic?' I hummed back.

'What's a picnic?'

'Umm.. let's find a good place to sit at then I'll tell you,'

'What will we do there?' for a second my mind started having bad thoughts which I shooed away.

'We'll set this blanket and sit on it and have a good time,'

'Then what about breakfast?' I laughed

'Of course we'll eat too silly,'

'But Haechan's not silly~' whined.

'Alright alright, I'll be silly for today then,' I looked around. We could sit anywhere here but the ground was too rough we walked for a bit more.

'Will we go to Haechan's hide out?'

'Your hide out?' a chunk of his hair moved up and down as he nodded.

'I'd would love to go there, would you take me?'

'm-hm.. if Minhyung won't say,'

'I won't,' I moved a finger over my lips as if to keep quiet. And that was cue for him to pull my arm and drag me to god knows where as we ran. It wasn't long after when we came into an opening between all these trees. I was taken aback for a bit. It was beautiful. The bright green grass and that huge tree in the middle. How can it be like this in winter. I walked further when Haechan shouted my name to get my attention after getting lost in my thoughts. The sun was bright but just enough. He waited for me under a tree which as I got closer came out to be an apple tree. It had enough shade for us to sit under. As I set the blanket which the boy didn't help me in until I forced him to do so.

We sat down and set out the food. The boy more happy when I took out the soft buns he liked which I learned to make the time he wasn't giving me attention in.

'How did you find this place, Haechan?' I asked as I munched on a rice ball.

'Haechan came with mom,' I could barely make out what he said since his face was stuffed.

'Your mom? Where is she now?'

'Mom went to find Haechan's ball... Haechan lost it here,'

'I see,' so she left the kid.

'Haechan played here all day and mom would find my ball when I lost it but dad no like,'

'What didn't dad liked?'

'He doesn't like mom and Haechan too,'

'Do you know why he didn't like you guys?'

'Mom says since Haechan doesn't study so dad gets mad at her,'

'Oh,' I didn't know what to say to the kid. He was so innocent. What will happen when he finds everything out? I cleared my throat and sat straight up. 'So tell me did you liked the buns more or spending time here with me?' I crossed my arms over my chest as I smiled at him curiously. He giggled and pointed his finger poking out of his sweater towards me.

'Haechan likes Minhyung the most,' For some reason I just smiled at him, well honestly I had nothing to say in return. I can't just tell him to hate me or whatever.

'Does Minhyung like Haechan too?' he tilted his head in the end. I gulped.

'Sure,'

'Really?' He slid a bit towards me.

'Yeah,' baby...

'Then Haechan will share this with Minhyung since you won't leave me,' he pulled a soft bun apart and put it inside my hands. I felt like crying. Fuck.. what the hell have I done.

When we were both done with eating, I planned on packing everything else in the basket and lay down for a while but the boy had other plans. He stood up and pulled my arms forcing me to stand up.

'What?'

'We will go to Haechan's hide out now,'

'Wait this wasn't it?'

'no-no,'

We went back further behind the tree but rest of the area was closed off by bushes so I stopped. The kid got on his knees and crawled in the bushes. He called out to me mins later asking me to come as well which I did. It was like a cave but made of bushes. There was only space to sit in there. It was cool. We came back to the tree after a while and didn't leave until late lunch. The walk home was nice too and the kid never let go of my hand either. The whole way back he never closed his mouth and kept singing.

Haechan likes Minhyung~

Minhyung likes Haechan~

The lunch was good too. In the evening we went for a bath during which I had to catch that brat like a million times. When I pulled the blanket over him at night, I finally let out a heavy sigh.

I planned on staying beside him for a while but a knock on the door interrupted me. I had to move quickly in case whoever it was did it again and I would've ended up with a wide awake annoying brat.

comments at the end of previous chapter had me dying of laughter lmfao
