It’s been a very hell day for all of them. Poor Tao had been crying his eyes out on his favorite butler’s lap, hugging his waist as he sobs into his clothes. Mr. Lee had nothing but patient to him, cooing him from time to time, comforting the boy to stop crying or else his face will be ugly and bags under his eyes will be darker.

The old man shook his head at the injured man across him as Kyungsoo applied cutting creams and bandages on him. Kris whines and cries whenever Kyungsoo put too much force on his bruises.

“Uncle, I hate him. I hate him so much… I want to kill him. Please,”

“You can hate, but no, you shouldn’t kill. If you still like this old man here, stop crying. I can feel the sound of Madame’s Wu’s shattered heart.” He rubs his tears away.

“Uncle!” Kris called, and cries in pain later as Kyungsoo jabs the cotton too hard to shut him up.

Principle Chung, was on his desk answering a phone call. He’d steal glances at the crowd and smile nervously at Mr.Lee as he finishes his line. He was about to speak but Mr. Lee cuts in.

“I’m terribly sorry for involving… well, house matters in school grounds, sir.” The butler bows.

House matters… The cold sweat on his face in obvious “No,… It’s… it happens, I understand.”

The butler smiles in relieve “As for the damages, we are going to be in charge. Matter a fact the Wu’s are willing to install better facilities for the school…”

“Oh that will be unnecessary,”

Mr. Lee’s face darkerns “The Wu’s insists, sir.” Kris glares at him too.

Yunho gulps, not able to say no at the elder and the Wu household.

“We’re in your most debts.” He picked to his normal side again.

It’s the same old day in Class 2-2 with a sleeping Tao behind the book and a very concentrated Kyungsoo with the lesson going on.

“Mr. Hwang!” the teacher yelled “ZiTao!”

Kyungsoo click his tongue and pinch the boy awake. The called boy looked up at the furious teacher, rubbing his eyes. “Yes?”

“What splendid explanation you have this time?” The teacher taps his feet.

Tao yawns “I’ve been taking care of my nephew.”

The teacher shook his head. Kyungsoo face palm. “You don’t have relative here Mr. where’d you get a nephew? If you want excuses get a better one.” The students laugh.

“Detention after class.” The teacher added.

Tao groans.

The next part of class, Tao spend staring blanks and drawing circles on his notebook. Then out of sudden, he became quiet. Like dead quiet.

Kyungsooalways liked to classroom only fill with the sound or chalk scribbling on the board but this is when he sees odd at the younger, he had goosebumps all over.

“Tao, ar-“

Then there’s a thud and a small horrified shriek. Kyungsoo jumps on his seat, paled. He doesn’t have the time to finish his sentence when Tao turn the whole class mute.

The teacher stares at him in horror, almost had his knees on the floor. No one dare to move. Turning their gazes at the shuriken jabbed in the newly painted classroom wall. Poor girl there as his weapon points approximately 0.02cm above her head.

Kyungsoo looked at him and hell he looked scary. Tao is not the Tao he knew. He watch as Tao reach behind his pocket. He was about to call when Tao fly his weapon again. From the wall, it slowly reached the roof.

Tao is gone. He there on his seat but not in the same dimension he was with the rest, as if he sees beyond other could preach.

Tick

Tock

Tick

To-

*Creak*

Taothrows out again and jumps towards the ceiling. He’s up on the desk before he kicked the roof open. Using his pair of long musciline legs, he pulled a figure down, pinned him on the floor. The students scream when Tao was about to kill the blonde man with the weapon on his hands.

“Tao!” the blonde yell.

But he didn’t. He stops in the middle, hanging his weapon in mid-air.

He’s another tall man with perfection all written. Had sharp figures and almost like a hot model or someone coming out from fairytale.

“Hi.”

He surrenders his whole life to Tao.

Tao’s face darkens as second ticks by, his grip on the weapon was just too tight. “You-“

“Look- I can explain…”

The ninja boy said nothing but raise his weapon higher, eyes all screaming fire.

Knowing this day is not going to end normally or romantically well, Kris swallow hard lump and turns to the class.

“Umm,…” he laughs nervously “ I think you better run(?)”

“Kris. Wu.Yifan!!!”

*STAB*

Kyungsoo coolly closes the first aid clean the table up. Kris thanked the boy and pulled down his sleeve, whining at the slight pain.

“Look, Babe –

“Don’t call me that!” he younger growls.

Yifan bit his lips and sighs in defeat.

“Tao. Look, I don’t mean to –“

“Shut up.”

Kris wants to spank him. Oh he wants to spank him so bad. This panda, cross that, his panda is being difficult! How the hell he could explain when Tao’s being difficult. Yes he crossed the line, yes, he made everyone worried but the one he hoped could understand him better than anyone is no other than his beloved, one and only Hwang Zitao.

Yeah, the man who almost killed him about an hour ago.

Tao jumps up in the air and threw his throwing needles. “You, do not come here out of blue telling me ‘I’m back, honey’ me you motherer!” he spat and rolls on the floor as furniture haves towards him like strong wave. He did a back flip and throw out slicers.

Kris screams unmanly and used the fall off door as his shield. “Calm down, love. I’m sorry, let me explain.”

“. You!” Tao took another short blade from his shoe and aim for the head. “Who you think you’re demanding me,” he shoves his hand and sharp polished Emeici draggers perks out from his ring and dash towards the blonde. “after you left me weeping every day and night on the bed worrying about you and , where have you bloody been!” He aimed for the neck. His opponent is fast enough to duck and made a flip and landed on a random desk.

“Tao, you almost got me!”

“Oh what terrible mistake!” there comes Tao with tekko.

“Oh my god! Honey calm the down!” and it strike perfectly past the tip of his nose.

He sat there burning holes at the cry baby as he recalls the scene. Uncle Lee shook his head and sighs again. It’s the nth times he did that and Kris can do nothing but wait.

There’s knock from the door and Yunho call the person in. It was Jongin, the man peek from the door while Kyungsoo frowns at him.

“Is there anything?”

All of sudden Jongin shuttered. “Yes… um, how I explain this…” he open the door wide and Kyungsoo look at the thing on his arm with his infamous big eyes. He expected their principle had the same emotion.

“What in t –

A bird flew in the room, flying around before landing beside Kris. He smiles at it and pats the hawk.

“Hey there buddy.” The hawk spreads it’s wing showing it’s beautiful golden feathers, seems the know what Kris’ saying.

“She’s beautiful.” It was Jongin. He stood against the wall, near the hawk.

Kris beam at that kid. “Thank you. Her name’s Yin.”

“How are you sure the hawks a girl?” Kyungsoo eyed him suspiciously. “You know about them?”

Jongin blinks as it might be the first time Kyungsoo starts a conversation with him. He smiles at Kyungsoo, “Yes. I like them. You?”

Kyungsoo purse his lips “I know them. My dad’s an ornithologist.” He said more a whisper, a bit of nervousness in his tone.

“Cool!” Jongin seems exited all the sudden. Kyungsoo blush madly at his sudden reaction. So Jongin liked birds. That’s new.

“Actually, I had a pet owl at my house.” Jongin said with a nervous grin. Kyungsoo tile his head to the side. “It name’s Soo.” He took a step closer to the smaller.

Kyungsoo’s heart leaps. He took a step back but it’s too late. Jongin lean against his ear and whispers.

“And he looks like you, cute.”

“Where had you been?” Tao started, his voice wary. “Where did you go?”

Kris sat beside him, Yin flying above them following the car. They’re driving towards Tao’s apartment.

“I… Let’s talk about it when we’re at your house.”

“Who said I’m gonna let you in?” Tao snaps.

Kris looks at his lover, slowly losing his patient “I’ll make myself in then.”

“Looks like you really want to die.”

“I almost did.”

Tao lose his breath “W-What?” didn’t know why it hurts so much. Kris’ words hurt him. He’d make himself believe Kris was referring their fight earlier but it sounded different, so much.

Kris breathes deeply a look at Tao in the eye. Tao’s beautiful and he’s cute as always. He reaches for the younger and cares his jaw.

Two years past and he still gets to take his breath away. He’s taller Kris couldn’t agree more, stronger, he knows because he knew Tao more than anyone in the world but that kind, soft fragile heart is still there. Kris knew best that Tao wouldn’t hurt an ant. Life is fragile, but it’s precious. Tao always says so and Kris was always guilty he’s the one and only one to make this angel cry, sad and even mad.

Just like what’s he going to do now.

“I joined the military.”

And he was right. Tao is crying now. The moment the words fall, tears follows. The blonde knows Tao will hate him forever for not telling, but he also knows Tao will still run back into his arm no matter what, like always.

Tao is mad, really mad. Not only Kris but also himself. He swears he will not cry. He’s not stupid. He knew right away when he was Yin flying in. He knew on the spot Yin is wild, and you can only find wild in the wild. Knowing Kris, he’s not stupid enough to risk him life there when can’t even do simple tasks. And knowing him means you will find out your clumsy lover joined the military and left you with a broken heart of confusion instead of waiting dead.

“You ing idiot!” the raven haired hit his lover’s chest.

“I know.” He missed this voice.

“Even if I’m hugging you, that doesn’t mean I forgave you.” He buries deeper into Kris shoulder.

“I know.” He missed this scent.

“I’m not crying because of you.” He clawed his back.

“I know.” He missed this moment.

“If you say that again you’ll be eating my wushu stick.”

Kris snorts “I know.” And he certainly missed this panda.

I’m home Tao.

Kris liked Tao’s apartment. Warm and cozy. Funny is he know Tao’s family is rich enough to afford him a house but this fluff of fluffiness liked nice and simple.

“Don’t touch anything okay.” Tao warns him as he trails around the house like he’s looking for something or someone.

Kris shrugs and pick the picture from the counter. He and some friends he met here. There’s Kyungsoo, a nerdy guy he never knew but he’s mad cause he’s too close with Tao for his liking and then… He swears he almost drop the picture frame.

Baekhyun? No… it couldn’t be. Grandmother told him everything he missed for two years. The broken hearts, fire at the Parks, Baekhyun’s death, Chanyeol’s conditions, engagements and all.

“Here you are.” Tao pipes from nowhere, pulling Kris back to reality. “Come here.”

Kris knots his brows. There’s someone else in Tao apartment and he didn’t like that fact one bit.

Tao peeks from the door and smiles at him. “There’s someone you have to meet.”

Kris stood frozen when Tao holds a small hand in his. A boy with pale skin, jet black hair and…

“Kris, this is Chanhyun.” Kris watches as Tao picks him up from the ground.

…looked like a cell copy of Chanyeol.

“Chanhyun, He’s your uncle. Your father’s cousin.” 

Sorry for hanging too long. I'm having my mid-terms and I'm cracking my head for it.

I feel guily for not updating too long so I finish it ASAP.

Hope you enjoyed it. XOXO

And wish me luck!!!!!  EXAM OTL
