(E1) Chapter Thirty Six: Calm Before The Storm

                                    

                                          


                          


                          
          Chanyeol took a deep breath before knocking on Baekhyun's door.
                          
          "Come in." He heard Baekhyun say.
                          
          "Hey brother. Would you mind if I join you?" He said poking his head inside. Baekhyun looked back at him and gestured him to come in and sit down.
                          
          "Chughahae." Baekhyun simply said.
                          
          "Thanks. Last night I really felt like celebrating. But now... Seeing you like this." Chanyeol said.
                          
          "Yah! No hard feelings on my part really. Although, I can't help but feel a little regret. And asked myself "what if?"" Baekhyun said.
                          
          "What do you mean?" Chanyeol asked.
                          
          "What if... What if I have confessed to her earlier? Would things be different? What if I have fought harder? If I've been greedy? Would she have chosen me? What if I didn't hesitate? Would we have a different ending?" Baekhyun pondered.
                          
          "But you know what? In a way, I'm thankful that she have chosen you. Not that I don't think Sehun would treat her well, but because even if she didn't chose me, I know she have chosen well." Baekhyun said forcing a smile.
                          
          "I.... I don't know what to say." Chanyeol said.
                          
          "Don't stress out about it okay? And don't worry about Sehun. You know he can be a bit childish sometimes. But I'm sure he'll come to. Just give him time." Baekhyun said patting Chanyeol's back.
                          
          "But.... Chanyeol~ssi..." 
                          
          "Ne?"
                          
          "Please take good care of her araji? Or else..." Baekhyun said.
                          
          "Or else what?" Chanyeol said raising an eyebrow. 
                          
          "Or else, I wouldn't hesitate to win her back." Baekhyun said his face full of determination.
                          
          "Don't worry. I intend to." Chanyeol said smiling.
                          


                          


                          


                          
          Just then, Suho came into the room.
                          
          "The two of you, in my room. NOW!" Suho ordered. The two boys had no choice but to follow.
                          
          They followed their leader back to his room. Sehun was sitting on his bed hugging his legs, not looking at either of them.
                          
          "Sit." Suho ordered. The beagles followed. 
                          


                          


                          


                          
          Suho crossed his arms on his chest and lean on the door. He may be awkward at times but he can be quite scary when he's in his "Full Leader" mode. He eyed each and everyone one of them, they can tell by his looks that he's really serious.
                          
          "Now. The three of you know that in the first place, I'm not so fond of the idea of the three of you pursuing my sister. But you still insisted under the circumstances that this.... Will not happen. I brought you over that house to bond and have fun. And at the same time, to help my sister get over her fears. But seeing how things have gotten way out of hand, I guess I was at fault." Suho said rubbing the very top of the bridge of his nose.
