It Was Always You

Gala's and Moonlight Kisses

The night of the charity dinner

Sandra can't believe what she sees before her! She wouldn't have believed it either had James, her husband not rushed up to her with a smile she hadn't seen grace his face for months!  What she sees walking into the cocktail reception, is something she never thought she would see! Her eldest son Chanyeol is  entering the reception, with his left arm possessively around a back of a certain young man. Sandra sucks in a sharp breath, she hasn't seen this young man since the funeral of his father. The guilt at not making more of an effort is staring to eat her alive, Byun Baekhyun, the hidden victim of Maria Kim and her schemes!

Had Baekhyun not had a breakdown at the Funeral, she never would have discovered  what was happening behind closed doors in New York. Closing her eyes, Sandra can only pray Baekhyun will be forgiving, after all she and James believed Maria was trying to save their son. Oh how wrong they were, when what actually happened left a trail of destruction that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. Her beautiful boy, Chanyeol has physical scars,  Baekhyun will no doubt have mental scars, as no one thought to tell him what was going on! Sandra regrets not approaching Baekhyun, especially when Sehun let slip Chanyeol and Baekhyun had a fight just before he left. No wonder Baekhyun had been so distraught, and distant from their home. They all failed him, no one even thinking to tell Baekhyun what Chanyeol had been through.

Sandra glances over to her youngest Sehun who has a beaming smile, and is bouncing up and down like a puppy. She turns to James who hasn't spotted their youngest, "I think we may have missed something in these last 3 weeks, don't you?" Sandra rolls her eyes as all James does is nod in response, he is too busy watching their eldest beam in happiness. Sandra has to admit Chanyeol and Baekhyun make a striking couple both exuding rather potent masculinity and very obvious attraction to each other. Sandra doesn't want this to be a dream as no two people deserve happiness more. She just wished that both sons didn't keep something this huge from her!

"Everyone is staring at us," Chanyeol can't help but smile and chuckle, he couldn't of planed this better if he tried! Chanyeol watches as Baekhyun's cheeks seem to blush more every time someone stops whatever conversation they are in the middle of, to stop and stare at them. Actually it would be better to say stoped and stared at Baekhyun! Chanyeol  feels a surge of self loathing, he should of done this years ago. "Baby more like staring at you," Chanyeol  is finally understanding what Baekhyun meant, when he mentioned being able to show off and take pride in his date.

Chanyeol tries to steer Baekhyun through he stares to their table, his hand never leaving Baekhyun's lower back. Trying desperately hard  not to drag Baekhyun upstairs to his teenage bedroom! Baekhyun is dressed in a stunning white and black military jacket, which fits tight  across his sculpted chest and surprisingly broad shoulders. Chanyeol remembers how he had to grip the steering wheel of his car so tight , when Baekhyun stepped up to his car in that jacket. Chanyeol had to think of some rather gruesome stuff, to tamper down his red hot arousal. Baekhyun wasn't just wearing that jacket, oh no Baekhyun was wearing those sinful leather trousers! Chanyeol loves how they look on the petite man, loving how Baekhyun dresses, he exudes carnal lust and desire!  He isn't ashamed that its currently taking all his might, not to drag the stunning petite man to closet hard surface.

That idea crashes hard when Baekhyun suddenly falters and his back muscles tense under his hand, Chanyeol heartbeat increases when Baekhyun  soft melodic voice announces "Your mother is heading this way." Chanyeol frowns as he takes in Baekhyun not sure why he has such a subdued tone and  has suddenly stumbled and appears nervous, Chanyeol recalls his mother has always treated Baekhyun well. Chanyeol doesn't have time to investigate why Baekhyun is suddenly shaking, when a blur of red silk and expensive familiar perfume engulfs the petite man. Chanyeol can only watch slightly stunned at what he sees before him, Baekhyun has tears in his eyes, yet his fists are clenched like he is in pain, his mother always poised and controlled holds on to a rigid Baekhyun tightly. It's clear to Chanyeol something is amiss and hears his mother whisper "Baekie,  it's so good to see you! I know I have a lot to atone for" Chanyeol is further stunned when his mother holds his date tighter "I should of done so much more to support you when your father died. I so wish these last 6 months have been different"
