Chapter Sixteen
"Baekhee!" Chanhee's loud call was heard from the outside and when he got nothing as an answer, he went out of their house living the younger ones together with their toys scattered on the floor. He started shouting once again and furrowed his eyebrows when he saw his little sister talking with a stranger that he cannot see from where he is standing. "Baekhee! Didn't I told you to not talk to strangers?!"
Baekhee heard her older brother's words and was only able to lift up her hand, signaling Chanhee to come over, as an answer. She suddenly felt that she lost her voice upon seeing the stranger's face clearly when he stepped into the spot wherein the streetlight was located.
"What are you doing? Go inside!" Chanhee ordered but Baekhee didn't followed him, instead, she hugged the stranger and that made Chanhee frown a bit. Running the short pathway felt like an endless journey to Chanhee the moment he saw the stranger's confused face. "B. . . Baek. . . Hee. . ." He gulped when he locked gazes with someone familiar to him. "H-hey?"
"Hey. . ." Chanyeol greeted back albeit that the girl's reaction surprised him. Meeting other people aside from Hyun, Dr. Sooyoung, the guards, and hospital personnels nowadays never failed on making Chanyeol in state of shock because it was the same reaction he was getting. First is Sehun, then Kyungsoo, and now it's the Baekhee girl hugging him on his waist tightly. But then again, he remembered the fact that he looked like Baekhyun's husband. He must keep that on his mind to prevent himself from looking surprised at all whenever he meets people close to Baekhyun's husband. "It's okay," he whispered when the Chanhee boy was about to pull Baekhee away from him.
"I miss you, Daddy," Baekhee cries, letting her face rest on Chanyeol's belly. She tightened her hug on the man's middle body part not minding her brother who's scolding her a while ago. "Where have you been? W-we missed you a lot. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for being a careless sister toㅡ"
"ㅡBaekhee! Chanhee!" Sehun broke the dramatic scene by appearing next to a stranger, Baekhee, and Chanee like he has some teleportation skills and his face color suddenly turned pale when he saw that it was Chanyeol who Baekhee was hugging. "Chanhee, p-please bring your sister inside first," he tried hiding the panic on his voice because one wrong move will change their lives once again. When Chanhee didn't seemed to make a move, Sehun pulled (gently) Baekhee away from Chanyeol. He bent down just to reach exactly Baekhee's crying face. "We'll talk later, okay?"
"B-but, Uncle! Can't youㅡ"
Sehun shook his head. "ㅡwhen I say we will talk later, then later it is, okay?" Sehun wiped his niece's tear-stained face and quickly planted a kiss on her forehead. He motioned Chanhee to take his sister inside with him to which he nodded as an answer before taking his crying younger sister with him inside. Sehun stood up and gave Chanyeol an apologetic smile. "So sorry about that. You do know our situation, right?"
Chanyeol nodded and smiled brightly at Sehun. The smile that says he doesn't mind that kind lf reaction whenever he will meet someone related to Baekhyun's husband. "No big deal actually."
Sehun realized Chanyeol was not supposed to be here anytime so he tried mustering his poker face once again. Big thanks to his genitals that it has become his talent to act outside like there's no battle happening on his mind. "W-why are you here?"
"Well uh. . ." Chanyeol stuttered, hiding his hands on his back while playing with his fingers. He looked like someone who was caught red-handed judging on how he fidgets. "Well. . . Uhm. . . I'm here to visit Baekhyun?"
Lines showed up on Sehun's forehead the moment Chanyeol said the last sentence. A sign that he was not amused of the giant's uncalled appearance tonight. "Weren't you allowed to be outside your hospital room as long as you're not yet getting your memory back?" Sehun takes note of those bulky mens watching Chanyeol from the outside but then again, he realized Chanyeol is a smart person. He might be a patient suffering from amnesia right now but he still knows how to have a good use of his brain.
"I know but please don't tellㅡ"
"ㅡhey, you two," a security guard roaming with his motorcycle around prevented Chanyeol on finishing whatever he might say. He pointed a flashlight on their faces and the two was quick to react by covering their eyes. "It's already curfew time. Go get inside or else you'll be punished."
Thoughtless, Chanyeol carried his own figure inside the house together with the rattled Sehun being pulled behind. Chanyeol was not supposed to be there in the first place because of so many reasons. First of all, it will be harmful on both sides the moment Jung Jae Bum hears the stunt he pulled tonight. Second, the kids were just in the living room, they was not supposed to meet him this early, without the elderlies'ㅡnamed Luhan, Sehun, Kyungsoo, Jongin, and Baekhyunㅡfurnished plan about Chanyeol. Third, it will never be a good idea for the kids to meet their Daddy (to Baekhee and Chanhee) and Uncle Chanyeol (to the remaining three kids). Fourth, it might create questions to Chanyeol that was not yet supposed to be taken care of this early. In short, this is their worst nightmare ever happened.
"Uncle Chanyeol?" Even the silent kid he is, Xun was able to mutter those two words upon meeting Chanyeol's wandering gaze. He dropped his toy car on the floor and it fell on Mark's feet, making the latter one cry in pain while shouting his Daddy Jongin's name. "Uncle!"
In no time, Jongin, together with puzzled Luhan and worried Kyungsoo showed up in the living room. Great. It looked like a dramatic reunion for all of them setting aside that the midget was upstairs, probably sulking and reconciling the actions he made today. It was only Kyungsoo who was able to come back from his usual self in a fast way. Aside from them, Chanhee lose grip of his younger sister when she struggled her way away from him and when she did, she ran towards Chanyeol and hugged him once again while her crying face was buried on his belly.
"L-Lu. . ." Sehun broke the dramatic silence by walking beside his husband whispering him to take the kids with him upstairs first. He mumbled that it will be better if he will lock the kids first together inside an empty room. Just do everything he can to get the kids out of this scene.
"O-okay," Luhan held Xun and Jisung together with him while Chanhee helps his Uncle Luhan to bring Baekhee (whom he forcedfully took away from Chanyeol) and Mark (who was still crying that time) upstairs too.

"Here, drink some water first," Luhan offered Chanyeol a glass of water when they settled on the dining area of Baekhyun's household.
Baekhyun was already fast asleep when Luhan visited him after locking the kids inside Chanhee's room. Luhan took on his mind to give Chanhee a credit later for being a big brother to the younger ones, making them calm inside his own room by letting them use his things that he doesn't liked to be used by other persons aside from his own self. It didn't took Luhan that much time before getting rid of the questions being bombarded to him by his own son, Xun. The thing about Xun is that whenever Luhan or Sehun tells him that he's still young for his questions, he will eventually shut up but judging on how creased his forehead always, Luhan and Sehun were so sure that their son was just being an obedient kid outside but a there's a battlefield inside his head. Something that's very alike of Sehun that amuses them.
"Thanks, uhm?"
"Luhan. I'm Park Luhan," Luhan offered a hand to Chanyeol, he was unaware that Sehun already got everything covered so he explained his surname on behalf of his own conscience. "I am Sehun's husband and Sehun isㅡ"
"ㅡcut it out, Lu," Sehun interrupted, shutting his husband by placing his index finger on his lips. "He already knows it."
Chanyeol's attention fell on the guy with sexy bronze skin next to Kyungsoo. That expression was familiar to him. That was the same expression Sehun and Kyungsoo had the first time they saw him so it was not a surprise to Chanyeol anymore that Jongin was looking at him like he grew another head. "Hi, I'm Chanyeol. You are?"
Taken aback by the uncalled introduction and attention, Jongin blinked quite a few times before shaking his head and making a nervous and coerce laugh to which Kyungsoo rolled his eyes. His husband hasn't changed at all. "Hi? I'm Jongin. . . Kim Jongin!"
"Kyungsoo's husband, right?" What Chanyeol said left Jongin flabbergasted. Instead of answering the giant's confirmation, he looked towards Kyungsoo and Sehun with almost popping out eyes. The kind of expression that says: He can remember it?! These passed few days, talking through their minds has been their habits.
Kyungsoo yanked his husband's nape with his left hand and it surprises Chanyeol on the other side of the table whilst Luhan and Sehun remained passive like they're already expecting it to happen. "Stop being so juvenile, okay?"
"How are you going back to the hospital now?" Asked Sehun to Chanyeol but the question was more like implied to his own self. Of all the times that the fuels of their cars will be running empty, it has to be today. "This village's so strict with regards to curfew hours."
Kyungsoo nodded with that. "There's only three rooms in this house. One's for my family, one's for Sehun's family and the other one's for Baekhyun himself. Darn it," he whispered the last two words.
"Wait, with that said, where does Chanhee and Baekhee sleeps?" Chanyeol queried.
"They sleep together with Baekhyun. Eversince Baekhyun's husband went missing, their kids slept with him whenever we sleepover here. But most of the times, Chanhee and Baekhee occupies the room Sehun, Luhan, and Xun uses. They rarely sleep here. I guess that answers your question," Kyungsoo wasn't adamant on saying informations like this, among the four of them, it's only him who can think straightly in times of pressure like this.
"I think Chanyeol hyung can occupy the long couch inside Baekhyun hyung's room," what Sehun said made Jongin and Luhan spit out the juices they're drinking but it surprised him that Kyungsoo agreed with that. Maybe for the very first time eversince Chanyeol went missing, Kyungsoo liked his own idea.
"Yeah, you can use that for the meantime, Chanyeol. I mean, over the night," Kyungsoo cleared.
"How about Chanhee and Baekhee?"
A sour expression was painted all over Jongin's face with Chanyeol's question so Kyungsoo kicked his husband's foot under the table making the other one wince in pain. When Jongin mumbled why did Kyungsoo kicked his foot, he only snickered on him. It was not Jongin's fault that he was easily touched by Chanyeol's concern. After all, even though he was clueless that those kids were his adopted kids, the concern on his heart for the two was still there.
"Baekhee and Chanhee can sleep together with Luhan and Xun in our room," Sehun announced and Luhan was quick to react, asking where on the Earth will his husband sleep tonight. "I can sleep here. Besides, it's just one night."
"No, no," Chanyeol waved his hands. "Appearing here without further notice was enough burden on your side guys, I don't want to cause much more with that. It's fine. I'll take the couches here. Besides, it's soft and comfortable," he tapped the head rest of the couch he's been seating at using his head and it bounced a bit.
"Uhh. . ." Jongin found his voice already when he saw that the couches were smaller compared to Chanyeol's gigantic height. Blame his abnormally long legs.

"Are you sure you're fine sleeping on those couches, Sehun?" Chanyeol asked for the nth time when Sehun led him towards Baekhyun's room. It was half-opened and the two can clearly hear Baekhyun's little snores.
Sehun nodded. "Go and sleep now. You look tired."
"Oh, okay. Have a nice dream, Sehunnie."

It didn't required Chanyeol plentiful steps inside the room when he saw a huge picture of Baekhyun and his husband. So it was true after all from what Baekhyun told him that he looked like his husband. Chanyeol thought they were twins but he just laughed at his own idea. If they were, who in the world will give their twins the same name, right? But something, rather a very tiny detail on the delineated art caught Chanyeol's attention making his heart jump into oblivion.
It was a tattoo on Chanyeol's hands.
LOEY
And when Chanyeol looked at his finger the same where Baekhyun's husband had it tattooed, it was there. The same font, color, and position.
