As the sun dipped below the tree line and the breeze grew cool it was time to go home. As Chanyeol turned back towards his car he watched Baekhyun wall off in the direction of his house, a twin attached to each arm, his mood turned wistful. They looked so happy. A real family. Anyone would think it was a dutiful and adoring hyung walking his little brothers home. He didn't want to leave them. But he turned and walked to the less attractive option of driving his car.
