Bad Things Feel So Good ✔

When he came, Baekhyun was greeted by the usual confident Chanyeol. He perfectly hid the fact that he felt incredibly antsy introducing Baekhyun to his family. The youtuber still detected his anxiety though, with his hesitant smile and his sweaty hands. Through the drive, Baekhyun took the initiative to keep on talking about lots of random things and it easily distracted him.

Everything about Baekhyun distracted him from other things in life.

"Baekhyun," Chanyeol called out when they finally pull up into a driveway.

"Hmm?" Baekhyun perked up, attentive as he smiled up at the taller.

Chanyeol leaned in, taking a moment to gaze at Baekhyun before kissing him.

"Thanks for doing this for me, and I'm sorry in advance."

"Why?" Baekhyun asked.

"Because you know..." Chanyeol averted his gaze, clearing his throat as he shrugged, playing it cool. "You might hear... uh... not exactly pleasant things from my aunt and uncle..."

Baekhyun held Chanyeol's face in his hands then he kissed his forehead.

"I adore you," Baekhyun murmured, hugging him to his chest. "A whole lot, even if we just met. You're a beautiful person to me, nothing they say will change that."

"Thank you, Baekhyun," Chanyeol mumbled, voice muffled because his face was squished against the other's chest.

"Okay, enough hugging," Baekhyun laughed, letting go of the artist. "Shall we go?"

Chanyeol nodded and they both got out of his car. Baekhyun stood for a moment, gazing up at the mansion in front of him. He then felt Chanyeol's hand slip through his then guided him to the door.

It's cold.

Baekhyun felt cold the moment he entered the threshold, making him step closer into his companion's side for warmth. The whole place was spacious and even more luxurious than Chanyeol's house, and Baekhyun thought that one was posh enough on its own.

"When is Chanyeol-hyung coming back, Mom? I want to play!"

"Honey... You know we've talked about spending too much time with your cousin Chanyeol, right?"

"But Mom! Chanyeol-oppa is cool!"

"Yeah Mom, we haven't seen him in a while! And he's a singer! He's really cool!"

Chanyeol stopped on his tracks, seemingly hesitant. Baekhyun looked up at Chanyeol, witnessing how his expression faltered for a moment. He bit his lip, eyebrows furrowed as his hand loosened its hold on Baekhyun's.

"I-I shouldn't have bothered..." Chanyeol mumbled. "They hate me, they won't even let me be with the kids."

"Nonsense," Baekhyun snapped at him, grabbing hold of his hand and then pulling him towards the entrance to the living room.

"Baekhyun..." Chanyeol weakly said. "M-Maybe we should-"

Baekhyun didn't listen to him. They entered the living room, where they saw a woman and two kids.

"Good evening," Baekhyun greeted cheerfully, bowing towards their direction. "I'm Baekhyun, Chanyeol's boyfriend."

"Hello," the woman greeted back. "I'm Miyoung, Chanyeol's aunt-"

"It's Kyoongtube!" the kids yelled as they sprinted towards Baekhyun. Baekhyun laughed happily when they tackled him with a hug, arms holding on to his legs. He sank to his knees to reach their level, and he let them hug him.
