I walk into SM the next morning with a fresh view of everything. I feel calm and good about everything that is going on.
I'm starting to want to start fresh with Chanyeol. With him talking about us moving yesterday it gave me the real sense that this was happening with him. We are doing this and it feels really good. A fresh start will be so good for us.
I walk into the practice room and I'm greeted with loud yelling. So much for being calm. I start walking faster until I see what all the yelling is about. Kai is on the floor with Chanyeol on top of him. Both of them throwing punches at the other.
"Jesus." I breathe out. What am I going to do with them? I start running towards them.
"Chanyeol!" I yell loudly.
I reach them and lean over Chanyeol's back. I grab his shirt and pull as hard as I can. He doesn't budge much and they both keep fighting. I move beside them and can feel the frustration flow through me.
"Stop it!" I yell again and as soon as I do tears start falling down my face. Both guys instantly stop fighting and look up at me at the same time.
"Tabby.." Chanyeol says softly. I start glaring at him.
"Get up right now!" I demand. He gets off of Kai and comes up to me. I point to the practice room door.
"We're going to my office." I tell him and start walking away. I'm pissed right now. He doesn't need to be getting into any fights.. Ever. Chanyeol catches up to me and walks beside me silently.
I walk into my office with Chanyeol behind me. He closes the door and I instantly turn around to look at him. Tears are still silently running down my face. He frowns when he sees me crying like this. I search his face and he has cuts and bruises all over.
"What the hell do you think you were doing?" I ask him.
"I lost my temper and I needed to punch him." He tells me. I sigh and look away while trying not to cry more.
"Jesus, Chanyeol. You have a show tomorrow." I say and look at him again. He puts his head down.
"I'm really sorry.. I just hate what he did to you." He replies and I can hear the slightest tremble in his voice. I let go of my anger and frustration right here and now. I walk up to Chanyeol and I wrap my arms around his waist. I lay my head on his chest and close my eyes. He wraps his arms around me and lays his head on top of mine.
"I'm sorry." He whispers. I sigh softly.
"No more fighting." I tell him. He sighs this time.
"What am I going to do tomorrow?" He asks. I look up at him.
"We'll have to ice your face real good and hope that makeup will cover it." I tell him.
"What about Kai?" Chanyeol asks me. I shrug.
"I don't care. I hope he knows what to do." I reply. Chanyeol leans down and kisses my forehead.
"I'm still sorry." I nod and reach up to gently grab his chin. I bring his face closer to my own and I kiss him. The feeling of his lips on my own will always be the best feeling. Just knowing that we can do this now makes me softly smile.
He breaks the kiss first and we just look each other in the eyes.
"Thank you for punching him." I tell Chanyeol softly. He starts to smile.
"It felt good." He replies. I smile at this.
"Just don't do it again. You don't need to get hurt." I say and hug him again before stepping away from him.
"Want to go home?" Chanyeol asks. I nod and take one of his hands.
"Let's get you fixed up." I say. We leave my office and walk through SM. We walk quietly all the way to our apartment. Chanyeol opens our door and I step inside. A small meow greets me and I instantly look down. The kitten I saw in the window is in our apartment. I look over at Chanyeol and he is smiling. I pick up the kitten and hold it against my chest.
"Thank you." I say softly. Chanyeol comes over and pecks my lips.
"I thought you could use a little friend." He says. I look at the kitten in my arms and smile softly.
"I love it." I tell him. He keeps smiling as he goes into our kitchen and gets something out of the freezer.
"Will this work for my face?" He asks. I nod and go over to our couch to sit down. Chanyeol joins me. He places the frozen bag onto his face and winces. I move closer to him and curl up next to him. He wraps his arm around me. I pet the kitten in my arms and I softly kiss its head.
"I think I want to talk to Kai." I say softly. I have been thinking about it and I think it's a good idea for me to talk to him. Chanyeol looks down at me.
"Why?" He asks. I shrug.
"I feel like I need to." I reply. I'm ready to listen to him and move on from our mess. "I want to make sure that I can still work with him." Chanyeol slowly nods.
"Okay, but if you need me you better call me right away." He says. I smile and nod.
"Of course I will." I say. We both turn our attention to the kitten.
"He needs a name." Chanyeol says.
"He sure does." I reply with a smile. I look at the kitten and start thinking.
"Chance." I say softly. Chanyeol smiles.
"Welcome to the family, Chance." He says. I lay my head against Chanyeol's chest and sigh happily. This is my family.
