Chapter 4 - Late

Kwon Jiyong is having a dinner with his family at their house. His wife, Sandara, his son, Hyun Joong and his other son Jongdae are sitting at the table, eating silently.

It's the normal scenario in the Kwon's family.

"Son, I want you to enter the company." Jiyong suddenly said.

Hyun Joong looked up from his plate and stared at his father.

"Dad, I told you that I'm not interested with the company.."

"You have no choice. You'll be taking over the company in the future." Jiyong said.

Both Hyun Joong and Jongdae were so shocked.

"Dad..I thought grandpa wanted to give the company to Yeollie.." Jongdae said.

"Chanyeol?"

Jiyong scoffed.

"There's no way I can let him be the chairman. He's just..not normal.."

Hyun Joong put down his glass with a thud. Everyone looked at him, surprised.

"Just because he's in love with a guy? That's so discriminating." he said.

Jiyong stared at his son, shocked by his words.

"Hyun!" Mr. Kwon shouted.

Hyun Joong cleared his throat. He never meant to be rude to his parents.

"Just..let me take care of the ski resort. That'll be enough." he added.

"That ski resort only worth 10% of the Park's family property. Are you content with that?!" Jiyong

asked.

Hyun Joong kept silent.

"We have to make you look good in front of father in law, and he will change his mind." Mr.Kwon said.

"You must get married as soon as possible." Jiyong said, casually.

Hyun Joong looked up almost immediately.

"Get married?!"

Jiyong nodded.

"With a girl that we had chosen for you."

Hyun Joong gulped. Jongdae just too shocked to say anything.

"Jongdae, I want you to work at the company too." Jiyong suddenly said.

Jongdae stared at his father ; he can't believe what he just heard.

"But dad!!"

"All you do all day was goof around and play games, you should make yourself useful." his dad added.

"No. I refuse. You can make hyung do anything you want, but not me." Jongdae said. Hyun Joong sighed;

his brother is always so rebellious.

"You must obey me this time, Jongdae." Jiyong said in a threatening tone.

"Make me." Jongdae said, challenging his father.

He the stood up and leave the dining hall.

"Jongdae!!" his dad called but he's already out of the house.

**

Minseok is walking in the streets of Seoul. He knew that he already had his dinner but his

stomach tells him that he hasn't.

Pizza?

Jjajjangmyun?

Samgyupsal?

Minseok ponders around of what to eat for his 'dinner'.

Suddenly he saw a familiar figure.

That curly hair.

That slender body.

Jongdae.

Jongdae is walking across the street from where Minseok is. He's at least a few metres away.

"Jongdae!" Minseok called but Jongdae didn't hear him.

Minseok ran as fast as he could through the crowds and crossing the street.

"Hey kid!"

He accidentally pushed a few people but he's too busy to care. All he wants at the moment is to

get to Jongdae.

"Jongdae!"

Jongdae stopped and turned around. Minseok is panting but he still managed to smile.

Jongdae stared at Minseok, shocked.

"Baozi!"

Minseok laughed.

"The name is Minseok."

Jongdae nodded.

"Minseok. What are you doing here?"

"I just want to say hi to you." Minseok replied, panting.

"Just..want to say hi?"

"Yeah..I saw you from across the street and I..

Minseok paused. He just realized that he sounded like a stalker.

"You ran all the way here to say hi to me?"

Silence fell between them.

"I guess I should be going now.." Minseok said, awkward.

Jongdae stared at him, speechless.

Minseok slowly turned around and was about to leave.

Suddenly a hand grabbed his palm. Minseok gasped at the warm touch.

"Wait."

Minseok turned to face Jongdae.

"Will you accompany me for a walk in the park?" Jongdae asked.

Minseok can't explain the butterflies in his stomach. He's no longer hungry.

"I had a bad day and I'm scared to walk there alone at this time.."

Silence fell between them.

"I'd love to."

**

"One more!"

The camera can't stop flashing, capturing every move the male model posed.

"Perfect!"

"Beautiful!"

"Good job everyone!"

The shoot finally ended. Sehun bowed at all the staffs that day.

"You did an excellent job, Sehun." Hyoyeon said, patting his back. She's working as Sehun's manager now.

Sehun smiled.

"Did Luhan called?" he asked.

Hyoyeon shook her head.

"No."

Sehun seems disappointed. He's been too busy lately and hardly has time for his boyfriend.

Suddenly something warm landed on his right cheek.

"Luhan!"

Luhan gave Sehun another peck on his other cheek.

"I missed you!" Sehun shrieked.

"Missed you too." Luhan said as he hugged Sehun tightly.

Sehun stroke Luhan's hair gently.

"What did you do all day?" he asked since Luhan didn't return any of his calls or messages.

"Nothing. I got no job, unlike you." Luhan answered.

Sehun stared at Luhan, awkward. Even though they are in the same modelling agency, Sehun has been

very popular compared to Luhan.

"Sehun, Innisfree wants you in their ad!" Hyoyeon suddenly shouted as she hung up the phone.

"Really??" he asked excitedly.

"Congrats." Luhan said.

He smiled and hugged Sehun tightly.

Though he's happy for him, he's only human.

Why is it always you and not me?

And jealousy is a part of human nature.

**

"Hey, BaekPillow! Where to put this box?" Kris shouted.

He's at C&B's new residence, helping Baekhyun with moving.

"Call me Baekhyun. .. BaekPillow is just plain rude.." Baekhyun said as he lifts a box.

Kris chuckled and ignored Baekhyun's request.

"We've finished with the kitchen!" Luhan said as he appeared from the kitchen. Jongin followed

behind him, both looking tired.

Kris, Luhan, Yixing, Jongin and Minseok came to help Baekhyun with moving. Sehun is out of

town for a photoshoot while Kyungsoo is still at his cafe.

"Aww..thanks you guys for helping me arranging stuffs.." Baekhyun said.

"It's okay." Yixing said.

"Maybe I should make some drinks for everyone..

"NO!!!" said everyone simultaneously.

Baekhyun looked around the room, confused.

"You guys are not thirsty?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Let me prepare the drinks." Jongin said as he pats Baekhyun's shoulder gently.

**

"Chanyeol is not home yet?" Jongin asked as Baekhyun leaned against the kitchen counter, watching

Jongin preparing some orange juice.

Baekhyun shook his head sadly.

"He promised to be home early tonight to help with the moving. I should've known he'll be late

again."

"Maybe he's just busy." Jongin said, trying to make Baekhyun feel better.

"I guess."

Suddenly Baekhyun's phone rang. He picked it up, it's Chanyeol.

"Hey there promise breaker." Baekhyun greet, bitter.

"Honey, I'm so sorry!"

"What's your excuse this time?"

"I was about to go home but then suddenly something came up!" Chanyeol replied, desperate.

"Something?"

"My friend from America comes and nobody picks him up from the airport."

"Your friend?"

"Oh there she is! I'll call you soon, honey!"

"Nana!"

Chanyeol had hung up the phone. Baekhyun sighed sadly.

"What's wrong?" Jongin asked as he sees Baekhyun's sad face.

"He's late."

Jongin gently stroke Baekhyun's hair, trying to make him feel better.

"It's okay, I'm here."
