Matchmaker: BOOK I [Y/N X KAI]

✨ Chapter 67 ✨

Sehun suddenly stands up and glances behind Piyuu and then back to me. Piyuu starts to tremble the moment he looks at her.

"What's with the picture book and soft boy? What's that for?" Sehun asks.

"Um, we're not so sure anymore.." Piyuu replies awkwardly.

"So..how did you like the surprise?" Siyaah exclaims.

If there's a word better than embarrassment to describe embarrassment, I'm above that.

"So you're telling me that Vivi's the one who was pregnant?" I gasp.

"Um, yes, who else would it be?" Siyaah shrugs.

"Siyaah, you just got back from honeymoon, you said you've got big news, and you wanted names," I palm my head.

"Babe, what exactly did you tell her?" Chanyeol gasps.

Siyaah pulls out her phone and looks at what I assume are the texts she sent me earlier.

"Oh my god, I didn’t even think of that when I was texting you!" she gasps.

"Of course you didn’t, you dumbfuck," I smile, "In fact, I'm surprised you understood what I'm referring to."

"At least now you get where she got that idea from, and why we bought these baby presents?" Piyuu asks.

"Totally, I'm sorry about that. We might get kids someday, but not for a few years at least," Siyaah says.

"Specially now that we have puppy to raise!" Chanyeol adds.

I laugh, "Your life choices are valid and I love puppies. Now tell me," I cross my arms and glance at Siyaah, "How many schemes do you have cooked up for my life?"

"Just one more," she says.

"But knowing my wife, she'll have five more cooked up for each of us by tomorrow morning," Chanyeol shrugs.

Siyaah chuckles, "And you love me for it."

"Okay, are you gonna tell me what the last surprise is?" I pout.

"You should keep one of the puppies," she suggests.

"Woah, are you sure about that?" I gasp

"Hell yes! It's been all I could think about since we found out Vivi was having puppies!" she exclaims.

Chanyeol nods, "I was with her most of the time. I can confirm that's true."

Honestly, I feel kinda bad for Chanyeol. Who the fuck thinks about such things when on a honeymoon?

"I can't just bring a puppy home with me though. I never had any pet before and I need more training and instructions on how to be a mom," I say.

"Of course you do. Besides, they're way too young to leave their mother. But if you claim one and start bonding now, he or she'll love you by the time they're ready to go to your home and you're ready to take care of them," Chanyeol says.

Just then, the puppy sitting in Chanyeol's arms opens its eyes and looks straight at me.

"Oh hello there, little puppy!" I say in a soft voice.

"Oh my god, she just opened her eyes for the first time!" Siyaah gasps.

"Really?" I gasp too.

"I don't believe in signs, but if I did, I'd say that's one right here," Piyuu says.

I chuckle, "Maybe.."

The puppy squirms in Chanyeol's arms and starts reaching for me.

"Okay, there's no way that's not a sign!" Chanyeol shakes his head.

"Come on, Niki, look at those cute little puppy eyes!" Siyaah whispers. Aw god no, stop making me weak you little cutie!

"Okay, fine, how could I say no?" I exclaim.

"To a face like that? You can't," Siyaah laughs.

"Say hello to your new mommy, girl!" Chanyeol squeezes the pup and hands her to me. I cradle her easily in my arms. She's so tiny! Tinier than Piyuu.

"Did you get that list of names ready?" Siyaah asks.

"Well, I was actually thinking of names of human babies, not puppies. But how about Chuu?" I ask.

"I like it. But what does the puppy think?" Siyaah expectantly glances at the pup, as if she's expecting it to speak.

I gently pet her between the ears, "That's a very good question! What do you think, Chuu?"

And I'm not gonna exaggerate, but she actually makes a small little aroo sound.

"It looks like she likes it!" Piyuu says.

"Of course she does! Niki's the one who chose it, and she likes her!" Chanyeol says with a huge grin.

I ruffle gently on its head, "Aww! I like you too, Chuu!"

And thus, ends the story of how I, Nikita Khan, found true love.

Just kidding.

I mean kidding about the end of the story part, but I'm dead serious about the true love part!

"My baby.." I whisper gently.

Siyaah chuckles, "See, I might be a schemer. But it's always for your benefit."

"I love you, Siyuu. Almost as much as I love Chuu," I wink.

"There aren’t a lot of people I'd be willing to be second-best to, but a puppy this adorable? Oh sure!" she says.

"So what about you, Piyuu? We still have two more puppies that need homes," Sehun says out of blue. Woah, woah, woah!

"M-me? You want to give me a puppy?" Piyuu's voice shaky and breath hesitant. I'm sure she's gonna choke any moment.

"Well, Vivi's enough for me to bear. I can't keep the puppies. Siyaah and Chanyeol said they can only keep one and Niki got another one. So I'm just worried about the third puppy. And if Niki can pet, I'm sure anyone in the world can pet. And you seem way more caring than her," Sehun shrugs. This was supposed to be an insult. This was an insult, but the moment right here is too cute to tell him off.

Well, not that something huge happened. But Piyuu gets all awkward when Sehun mutters a single word and that's so freaking cute!

"Y-you want me to pet your-" Piyuu trails off as her breathing stops. Shoot!

Should I get a glass of water? Would it look very awkward? Again, is there anything in the world more awkward than this?
