"You're... XiuMin's girlfriend's boyfriend?" my father questions.

"Uh... Well...." BaekHyun stutters and swallows. "It just... kind of happened that way and uh...." He plays with his fingers nervously.

"How does that even work out?" my mother asks.

"It's not too bad though, omoni," XiuMin oppa answers. "She didn't cheat on me behind my back or anything, so I'm not mad at her," he explains. Before my father opens his mouth to say something, XiuMin oppa adds, "She has her reasons."

"Whatever the reason may be, having 2 boyfriends is unacceptable," my father states.

I look down to the floor.

How about 12? What is that, appa?

POINT OF VIEW CHANGE

I don't know what to do... I can't really cover up anymore... BaekHyun, why did you...

"Whatever the reason may be, having 2 boyfriends is unacceptable," abeoji states.

When I am about to say something, I notice ________ looking down. Oh, she must be hurt...

Should I ask abeoji what it is to have 12 boyfriends then? No no no, that will reveal everything.... Should I keep defending ________? But that might lead to more questions, and...

GAH!!!

Think, XiuMin, think.

What's a way to defend ________, and not be suspected at the same time?

POINT OF VIEW CHANGE

I've done it I've done it I've done it

WHY DID I SAY THAT?! HOW COULD I BE SO CARELESS AND STUPID?! WAAAAAAA PABO BAEKHYUN!!!!!!!

Look at what's you've done, BaekHyun. You've made abeoji and omoni suspicious, XiuMin hyung helpless, and now _______ is upset because of abeoji's statement just now.

PABO!!!!!!!!!

Just think, BaekHyun.

Think, for once, of a way to solve this without creating any more trouble.

POINT OF VIEW CHANGE

"...What's so bad about having 2 boyfriends?" XiuMin oppa and BaekHyun ask in unison.

We all blink, turning our heads in their direction. It seems like they themselves were surprised at it; they're eyeing each other with wide eyes.

"What do you mean what's bad? It is impossible to love 2 people the same amount. It will also create troubles," my father scoffs.

Yeah, like this one.... We all think.

"Is there a law that bans people from having 2 boyfriends?" BaekHyun asks innocently. I never knew he could be so... fierce.

"No, but it's just wrong!" my father raises his voice. My mother his back to calm him down.

"....I think I get what you're saying, abeoji," Chen speaks up. "But, I think it's wrong to judge someone just because they have 2 boyfriends," he claims.

"How can we not judge? Don't take it personally, but people who love more than a person is most likely a ," my father declares.

"SHE'S NOT A SL-"

D.O, SeHun, Kai, Lay oppa, and Tao hold Kris oppa back with all their might.

"Hyung, calm down," ChanYeol says, putting his arm around Kris oppa's shoulder.

The room falls silent under the very high tension. My father takes a sip from the cup that has already cooled, while my mother looks around in worry. Kris oppa shoos the others away, looking furious. The boys sigh and eye each other, trying to find a solution.

My father clears his throat. "I am going for a walk alone," he says. No one replies anything.

"I am very disappointed in you guys. I hope you guys realize your mistakes by the time I come back." My father closes the door behind him.

"I- I'll be upstairs if you need me," I say, standing up.

"________-ya..." SuHo oppa calls softly.

I turn around with a smile. "I'm fine, just a bit tired. Don't worry," I say before going up the stairs.

I knew this was going to happen, or something worse, but when it actually happens, it hurts. And it's tiring.

I just need a break.

No, we all need a break.

Hey~~~

Wow this chapter..... tensions rising....

BAEKHYUN~~~~~ XIUMIN~~~~ KRIS~~~~~ CHEN~~~~~~

I can't take it... the father too... getting tired of that guy -.-
