It had been a stormy evening and the entire Byun-Park family were cuddled on the living room floor. It had been an exhausting day for the entire family. Chanyeol worked tirelessly on a new single for his company. Baekhyun had to seal multiple deals concerning his book sales and a possible movie adaptation from a well-known director. On the other hand, the kids were exhausted over school in general. Due to the fact it was nearing the start of spring break, their teachers thought it was a great idea to pile them with stacks of homework and tests. This continued for weeks until they had enough and decided to take a short rest.

 

It felt nice to enjoy each other's warmth. The day was reaching its end and the kids were starting to enter dreamland. Suddenly, Minsoon yawned and asked her fathers, “Can you tell a bedtime story before we sleep?”

 

Chanyeol shifted to reach a more comfortable position. “Sure, kiddo.”

 

This grabbed the attention of the rest of the kids as they sat up and gathered around their dad to listen to tonight’s story. Even Skipper, whom of which loved his sleep, was intrigued to this story.

Baekhyun took a seat next to this husband, eager to tell this story with his beloved. “Tonight’s story is going to be how your father and I met that day.”

“Uhhhhhh.” A loud thud resonated throughout the room as a certain lanky seventeen year old unceremoniously sat down in his chair, dropping his head on the table along the way. It was at this moment, said seventeen year old realized he truly messed up.

 

A tap on his shoulder took him out of his trance, causing the miserable teen to look up. There, in all his glory, was the teen’s best friend. “What did you do this time, Chanyeol?” He questioned as his eyes scanned over the condition of his friend. “And could you be a little less loud. We’re in a library.” To emphasize their situation, he gestured to the librarian who glared at the pair behind her reading glasses.

 

“I did nothing, Namjoon.” Chanyeol declared loudly. The librarian’s glare intensified. Chanyeol slightly lowered his voice. “I just sold my soul to the devil.”

 

Namjoon raised his eyebrow at the statement. “Tell me everything.”

 

~

 

“Wait… why were acting so weirdly?” Yifan questioned his father.

 

“You’ll see.” Chanyeol replied cryptically.

 

~

 

“You did WHAT?” Namjoon exclaimed as Chanyeol explained his situation. The pair left the library a while ago due to the fact Chanyeol did not want any prying ears to listen to their conversation. They ended up in the empty public restroom where Chanyeol told his tale of dragons and witches invading his dreams. Just kidding.

 

“So. You’re telling me that you lost a bet to the Park Jimin, and now you have to dance to SNSD’s ‘I Got A Boy’ while wearing a fairy costume during lunch?”

 

“Yup.” Chanyeol paced around the small restroom. He turned violently to his best friend. “Do you see my dilemma here?!”

 

Namjoon leaned against the sink. “Well, I can’t say anything to help you, dear friend of mine. You got yourself into this mess.”

 

Chanyeol groaned as he buried his face into his hands. “This will ruin my reputation forever.”

 

“What reputation?”

 

“HEY!”

 

Suddenly, a crash could be heard from the men's restroom.

Laughter filled the household. “You are silly, Daddy!” Minsoon giggled as she cuddled into her papa’s side. Somewhere throughout the story, Minsoon found her way onto her papa’s lap. On the other hand, Baekhyun slightly smirked at his husband’s narration. This was the first time he heard the story from his husband’s point of view.

The day was progressing perfectly for Byun Baekhyun. He just finished his english exam and he was ninety percent certain he passed it. He did not completely fail physical education.  In addition, he received his last test scores from his science class and found out he passed the semester. Overall, it was a semi-perfect day.

 

It was lunch time and Baekhyun was meeting his beloved best friend, Kim Taehyung. The pair were inseparable when they met during their grade-school years. As they grew older, their bond only strengthened to the point onlookers assumed they were fraternal twins or dating, the former more often than not.

 

It seemed as though the lunch harbour was more crowded than normal. It took a few minutes before Baekhyun could spot his orange-haired friend flailing his arms around, yells of ‘BAEKHYUN! I’M HERE YOU IDIOT!’ were only whispers against the loud chatter of the lunch harbour. (Why he dyed his hair that colour, Baekhyun will never know). Once he met Taehyung at a random table, Baekhyun asked, “Is it just me is the cafeteria more chaotic than normal?”

 

Taehyung gave him an incredulous look as he was in mid-chew. “You haven’t heard?”

 

“Heard what?” Baekhyun tilted his head, eye wide with curiosity.

 

“This boy…” Taehyung mumbled. He swallowed his food before clearing his throat. “Apparently some dude, Park something, lost a bet to Jimin,” Taehyung involuntarily sighed in a dream-like manner, “And he’s doing his penalty today. I heard it has something to do with public humiliation.”

 

Before Baekhyun could respond, a very familiar tune started to play through some loudspeakers. He searched for the source, yet it was somewhat difficult in the loud setting. His eyes then landed in the center of the cafeteria. There, was the most beautiful person he had seen in his eighteen years of living. The person’s brown hair was styled with a massive amount of glitter and hairspray. His eyes trailed down to their attire: a very poofy purple dress with a pair of large purple transparent wings? Is he a… fairy?

 

If the cafeteria was loud before, the sound only intensified with laughter as the focus tuned to the person in the center wearing a fairy outfit. The person suddenly started to dance. That was when Baekhyun realized that the song playing in the background was the one and only “I Got A Boy” from the queens themselves, SNSD. It looked entertaining, yet the one thing that irked Baekhyun throughout the entire performance was the fact that the person was dancing the entire song with a poor attempt of sticking to the choreo.

 

Next to him, Taehyung was suffering from a laughing fit, slapping everything, including Baekhyun, in the process. When the song was over, the person’s face was bright red in embarrassment. They sped out of the cafeteria in a heartbeat. Soon after, someone (Kim Namjoon he believed) ran after the person while yelling, “CHANYEOL!” Baekhyun felt bad for the fellow. Without thinking, Baekhyun stood up and followed the fairy, causing Taehyung to break out of his laughing fit to raise an eyebrow at his friend’s actions.

 

“Where are you going, Baekhyun?!”

 

~

 

“Why did you do that Papa?” Jongdae turned his head to his father. “You barely knew him.”

 

Baekhyun smiled softly at his child. “I don’t know, Dae-Dae. I just had a feeling and decided to follow that feeling.”

Park Chanyeol had experienced a great deal ofhmbin his life, due to his clumsy personality, yet this had to be the most embarrassing thing he had done, period. Without thinking, Chanyeol raced to the restroom and found a stall to wallow in self-pity in. For minutes, he just sat on the toilet with his face buried deep within his arms. It was a difficult task with the dress yet he made it work. Soon after, the restroom door burst open. “Chanyeol?” Oh. It’s Namjoon. “Are you here?”

 

Footsteps echoed the empty bathroom until they stopped right in front of his stall. Hesitant knocks followed. “Are you okay?”

 

“Does it look like I’m okay?” Chanyeol mumbled.

 

“Okay. Bad question.” Namjoon admitted. “Do you want to come out.”

 

A few moments of silence occurred before the stall door opened to reveal Chanyeol in a ruffled dress, glitter pooling around his feet.

 

“Come here.”

 

Without a doubt, Chanyeol raced to get a comforting hug from his best friend. They stood in silence before Chanyeol spoke, “I’m going to miss you when you move to Canada. Who else is going to comfort me when I royally screw up.”

 

“You’ll find someone, Chan.” Namjoon whispered. “Are you better now?”

 

“A little.”

 

All of a sudden, the restroom door creaked opened to reveal a puppy like person, reluctant to enter. Both men broke from their hug fest and stared at the guy in front of them.

 

Taking it as a sign of continuing, the boy entered the restroom and focused his gaze on Chanyeol. “Are you okay?” He blurted. “I saw what you did in the lunch harbour.”

 

Chanyeol slightly reddened at the mention of his penalty. “Yeah.” He started. “I’m as fine as a worm in the rain.”

 

Namjoon stared at his best friend while the puppy like person tilted his head towards him. Stupid! He mentally scolded himself. Who says that?

 

“I’m glad.” The air was tense as silence reigned. “Well then… I’ll just go now..?”

 

As if there was something pushing him to do so, Chanyeol called out, “What’s your name.”

 

The puppy turned around and softly smiled. “Baekhyun. You?”

 

“Chanyeol.”

“- and that kids is how I met your father.”

 

Looks of awe were plastered onto the faces of the Byun-Park children as they listened to the tale. Suddenly, a yawn erupted from a certain eleven year-old. “Now, it's late and you guys have school tomorrow.” Groans filled the air. “Goodnight kids.”

 

“Goodnight Papa. Goodnight Dad. Goodnight Skipper. Goodnight everyone.”

 

Let's just say that everyone was complaining about an aching back the next morning due to their impromptu sleepover on the living room floor.

 

[“Never again.”

 

“You say that every time, Baek.”

 

“Well, this is final!”

 

“We’ll see next week.”]
