Prologue

Almost Heaven

January 28, 2014
Baekhyun yawned while waking up from another snatched few hours of sleep to familiar voices outside the bedroom. He stiffly sat up, feeling his back getting sore again that he had to woke up and took care of his son last night to help his tired wife. Not that he was disturbed with his son's presence, he was more than happy and glad to have him in the family, but he wasn't feeling like getting up every sun rose.

 

He squeezed his eyes open as his body rose from the bed. Hearing more of those familiar voices, he impatiently get off his bed and walked out from his bedroom to find his wife, Sunhee, was carrying and playing with their son which made him smile. "Yah, what time do you wake up, Byun Baekho?" He spoke softly while sitting next to his wife and pinched Baekho's cheek gently, not wanting to hurt his son.

 

Baekho muttered something unclearly, but both Sunhee and Baekhyun thought that their son was cute. Having a precious little family like this was what he always wanted, especially when he didn't have to work. Why? He was born to a rich family, his father is rich. Besides, his father told him not to work just yet because he wanted to see how his son took care of his wife and his newborn son.

 

"I'm going to make breakfast for us, can you play with him?" Sunhee asked her husband calmly with a smile before he carried Baekho over his lap. He knew his son loved playing and he's hyper unlike both of his parents, they were calm and quiet most of time. "Okay," he mirrored the smile to his wife and begun to play with his 6 months old son, Baekho. "So why are you waking up so very early this morning? You want to play with your mother?" He asked playfully while tapping the tip of his nose and chuckled when his son reacted.

 

"You're so cute," he kissed his cheek. "Do you want me to play with you?"

 

Baekho responded hyperly, excitedly, an amused grin followed with a soft giggle escaped his lips. Baekhyun himself couldn't help but to show another smile, it was perhaps the umpteenth times he was smiling because of Baekho. "Seems like you really want to play with me." Baekhyun smiled and begun to carry the baby up and down playfully and carefully, not to make him scared of heights and disturbed.

 

Very much to his surprise, Baekho's happy giggle got louder as soon as he was carried up and down. Baekhyun remembered how he used not to smile a lot that people call him cold, but it becoming a lot when he met Sunhee. He smiled everyday until now, even when he's upset, just seeing his wife and son could really help making up his mood. "Ah, Baekho, you're so hyper." He said happily.

 

It wasn't long before he heard his wife grunted and there was a sound of noise like someone had fell down. He was startled, he immediately put Baekho in the crib for him to play inside it when his parents were busy. "Hey, Baekho, stay here alright?" He said kissing his forehead and begun to rush himself to the kicthen.

"Sunhee?" Baekhyun called, he still heard her grunting until he saw her laying on the ground and tried to get up but had always failed. He noticed her eyes were starring at nothing, blankly, didn't even notice that he was there. In a quick movement, he helped her to get up and slowly walked outside to the couch. "Baby, are you alright? What's wrong? What happens?"

 

He could see tears streaming down her cheeks but her eyes were still starring blankly at nothing. He quickly wrapped his arms around her and hugged her onto his chest, kissing the top of her head. "It's alright. Everything's alright now." He calmed her down despite his curiosity of knowing what was going on. Gently, he caressed her hair with his fingertips until she calm down.

"I fell down in a quick sudden. I don't know what happened, I felt like my balance is disappearing that moment. I think the floor is slippery either which I don't really know," She sobbed quietly onto his chest and hugged him back to her comfort herself. Baekhyun sighed, "You should be more careful when walking okay? You're just shocked, it's okay."

 

"Mhm," she murmured as she wiped her tears and formed a weak smile. Sunhee somehow felt strange about how she suddenly fell, slippery floor wasn't exactly sound right, she was worried about something unknown. On the other side, Baekhyun was worried as well, because it wouldn't make any sense if people fell down without reasons.

 

 

February 7, 2014
"Baekho is just as cute as I am!" Sehun said defensively to Baekhyun's friends who were visiting his family. It was almost full yet perfect in the house that everyone could gather to see the baby. Back to the conversation, Luhan didn't want to lose on the debate about the baby's cuteness with Sehun. "No, he is just like me!"

 

"Yah, he is my son. You two are nothing cute than my Baekho!" Baekhyun blabbered jokingly which caused everyone to laugh. Baekho laughed too while he was carried by a friend of Baekhyun, Chanyeol. "Ah, he's giggling! He understood what his father is talking about," Chanyeol said, while smiling down at Baekho, and then poked his cheek.

 

"Baekho looks a lot like his father," Sunhee smiled weakly beside Chanyeol while adjusting Baekho's shirt. She was still smiling to see her son, seeing him made her literally felt like flying on the sky. It was heaven. "No, he looks like you chagiya," Baekhyun smiled as well.

 

Everyone suddenly were faking a cough at the scene. Baekhyun realized that he and his wife were talking like they were alone in the room and it was like everyone weren't exist. Sunhee blushed to this as she leaned onto the couch to adjust her position when she heard the door knocked and swung open. It was her older brother bringing some foods and baby stuffs.

 

"Oppa?" She glanced up while walking toward her brother when he opened his arms and grinned joyfully. "Sunhee," he hugged her onto his chest and kissed her head. It had been a few weeks since her brother went oversea for his work, and she missed him more than a lot.

 

"Seunghyun hyung," Baekhyun stood along and bowed to his brother in law. Seunghyun bowed too just a few seconds after that, and then he saw his nephew was playing with Baekhyun's friends. "Where's my cute pie?" He grinned when he walked toward the couch and carried Baekho over.

 

Baekhyun's friends bowed slightly in front of Seunghyun as a sign of respect. Seunghyun couldn't help but to nod his head slightly as he was carrying Baekho at the moment. "So how's things going on?" He asked to the married couple.

 

"Everything is fine, but Sunhee is feeling down lately." Baekhyun sighed in reply before telling his wife to sit down on the couch. Seunghyun creased his brows while caressing Baekho's head, "Is she pregnant again?" He teased to everyone's surprised reaction that it would be possible.

 

"Please, stop teasing! We are not youths anymore," Sunhee said with a playful smile before leaning back to the couch. Baekhyun chuckled softly, because both siblings had never stopped teasing and mocking the last time he checked. "I know you're married and has a baby. Stop bullying me for not having a special girl yet,"

 

"I didn't!" She grinned when he chuckled. "But you're trying to aim that on me,"

Sunhee shrugged lightly with a chuckle, "If you feel like I aimed it to you, sure."

 

The room was filled with joyful laughs again but this time Baekho wasn't laughing along with the rest. He mumbled almost crying, everyone were startled, especially the uncle. He was trying his best to calm Baekho down when Sunhee stood up and excused to go to the kitchen. "I'll get his milk prepared,"

 

Baekhyun was trying to make his son laugh along with his friends when Seunghyun was adjusting Baekho's position in his arms to make him more comfortable. Baekho wasn't calm yet as he started to cry a little louder, Suho stood in front of him and purred like a cat while poking his cheeks, hoping he'd get better until the mother came back with the bottle of milk but there was no sign of Sunhee coming back.

 

"Where's Sunhee noona?" Sehun looked around as well as everyone, Baekho's cry got louder and louder. Baekhyun was a little bit startled than usual because she was usually coming out from the kitchen faster than this when the baby cried. "I'll check on her," Baekhyun finally decided to look over the kitchen and check on his wife when the rest remained were putting efforts in calming Baekho down.

 

Baekhyun was worried; his legs moved as fast as it could to the kitchen but it felt like he was moving so damn slow like a snail. His heart beat faster than usual, his head was pounding, his breath was unstable. When he was finally arrived at the kitchen, he saw his wife was lying unconsciously on the ground with the bottle of milk was already spilled. "GUYS HELP!"

 

He carried his wife bridal style in hurry when Suho and Chanyeol came after he shouted earlier. "She fainted! Please open the door of our room,"

 

Chanyeol, without thinking twice, ran straight to the door of their room and opened it to give Baekhyun an access to the room. "Has Baekho calmed yet?" He asked while laying Sunhee on the bed and covered her body with blanket.

 

"No. Where is the milk anyways?" Suho shook his head in reply before glancing up again to his friend. Baekhyun sighed, "She hadn't made it yet. Can you please wait here until I come back? I'll prepare the milk," Baekhyun asked.

 

"Yeah, sure. Leave it to me," with a nod, Suho walked toward the couch and sat there to wait when Chanyeol and Baekhyun went outside the room.

 

 

Outside, Baekhyun rushed himself to the kitchen together with his tall buddy under his request of help. While he was brewing Baekho's milk, Chanyeol was cleaning the mess of milk which was spilled earlier. "Thank you for helping bud," Baekhyun breathed out as he grabbed the cap of the bottle.

 

"It's alright. We are friends, we help each other, right?" Chanyeol reminded their vow when they were in high school a long time ago. Baekhyun nodded with a chuckle before rushing to the living room, Baekho was sobbing, sitting on Seunghyun's lap. "Ah, here is your milk, little prince. Don't cry again, arra?" He gave the milk to Baekho as Seunghyun helped him holding the bottle.

 

"How's Sunhee?" Seunghyun was worried and so is the rest of his friends. They looked up at him, waiting for a response, but he wasn't showing a happy response at all. "I don't know but this is the fifth time she fell on the ground without reason nor fainted like that. I'm worried about her,"

 

"Let's hope that everything will be okay,"

 

Baekhyun nodded and looked down for a few seconds. Kyungsoo walked over him and tapped him on the shoulder, "Perhaps she was just too tired remembering she has to be a 24/7 mother for a few months right?"

 

"Maybe," he nodded before he excused to go to the bedroom. "I gotta go, she hasn't awaken yet. Take care of Baekho for me,"

 

He was so down, worried and startled today after the event. How could people fell on the ground without reasons like that? The answers were probably either she was sick or she was just tired. However, he cleared the negative thoughts and waited for his wife to wake up.

Chapter 1: I was sad when I found out that she keeps falling whenever she does something. I hope they would already found out about her sickness so it can be cured or if ever that it doesn't... Oh... I just hope she doesn't have the sickness that I have in mind. I was happy for Baek and Sunhee having a good life together but why does she have to be sick all of a sudden?
