Broken Growing And Not Dead 2
10. Boss and Member
"It looks like they're not here, roughly where are they going?" Suho asked the Hamlet children.
"Come, today uncle Rain is not going to sea."
"Maybe they're in the river, or in the garden" answered the other child.
"Uncle ... uncle ..." Another child ran to them.
"Uncle Rain and Aunt Hana in the river" said the boy cheerfully.
Sehun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Take us there," Suho asked impatiently. The boy stepped first followed by Suho and the others.
The distance from the house to the river is not far at all. Only the large trees made the view from the house to the river blocked. Just a few steps, Suho had seen the figure of the man he wanted to meet was stepping towards him as well.
Baek Hyun stood staring at Suho. Behind him looked Sehun and the others walking up. Suho's eyes glazed over. His chest felt tightened by the haru, longing, and turbulent sadness. The man walked slowly with a still incredulous feeling. He walked slowly while convincing himself that the figure in front of him was not a dream or fantasy. Right in front of him Baek Hyun was still standing in his place. With a feeling of fear Suho spread his arms and hugged the body slowly. Suho's tears broke when he felt the figure was so real. His embrace slowly strengthened making sure that the body would not vanish from his embrace like in a dream. His crying became more and more after his conviction became more certain. More so when he felt the hand coiling around his body.
Both bodies were shaking. Sehun and Chen fused together with them. Their cries broke the silence of the twilight with sehun and Chen's poignant humming. They miss, very much. They are also too happy. His hard-earned friend's departure now returns to them in their own arms.
Once that belief was real answered. Slowly D.O, Xiumin and Kai stepped over. Either because of the cries of those people, or because of the sense of haru because their friends are in fact still in the world. All three were unable to withstand the sadness and tears that seemed to race out of the eye peluhan.
Chamyoel is alone who can now only look at the people who are embracing it. I don't know what he cried, I don't know what made him shed tears.he himself tried to deny his sadness. Disappointment is still so selfishly keeping him in place.
Nearby, the Hamlet children also cried roaring without knowing why they were crying. The children cried only because the adults hugged and cried loudly.
At her place, Hannah stood still. It looks like it's stuck in its place. His woman's heart that tends to be more sensintive certainly makes him unable to withstand the sadness of the unexpected meeting. Moreover, she was deeply moved, her husband's friends still accepted Baek Hyun, even missing him so much.
Witnessing the reality before him, Slowly Chanyoel resigned from there. The man turned his body. Surprisingly another figure was running around with another child. The man just passed through it. Then meld themselves with the hordes of people who are shedding the haru and longing for it. Chanyoel looked at her with widened eyes as if in disbelief. But that is the truth. How could that man suddenly be here?
***
Suho could only stand up while scrambling his own hair to see the actions of his friends. The eight people seemed to be sitting in groups, Chanyaine was alone because she still did not want to accept Baek Hyun and Lay who suddenly appeared there. In the other corner there is Chen, Xiumin, D.O and Lay. In the other place there is Baek Hyun who was forced to join Sehun, and Kai. Sehun and Kai are a team that Lay doesn't accept being there. As of today, Suho only had three days to unify them again.
To be honest, if it wasn't for Baek Hyun ... Sehun, Kai, including Chanyoel, has definitely come home from living in a house with someone they consider a traitor.
“What are you boys TK?” suho opened the conversation. “Can't you guys be grown-ups?! What age are you?”
“This is not a problem of adult pkir pattern or not. It's a matter of feeling that can't accept a betrayal!!” answer Kai firmly.
“I understand, ” Lay stand. “I'm sorry. But I had absolutely no choice. I'm glad I'm with you guys. I am so happy to debut with EXO. But my family ..”
“Whatever the reason, you've got us in trouble. You've even been preaching after a long time. Do you think we can accept that!?" Cut Kai.
“My situation back then wasn't what you guys imagined. I couldn't even do or think of anything back then. I was really surprised by the reality I was facing. Even after that I was also restrained" explained Lay.
“Can't we forgive each other? This happened already? Lay also realized that and apologized, is it so hard to forgive?” Chen tried to melt the atmosphere.
“I know I have no right to say this because of the situation I'm in. But I think Lay has his own reasons for his choice. ” Baek Hyun tries to express his opinion. Hearing that, Sehun, and Kay who were sitting on his left and right simultaneously turned to him.
“What are you doing worse! At least Lay told me a few months after he disappeared, were you!?” Chanjane didn't realize Lay's mebela.
“Does that mean you want to forgive me? Ask Lay with a glowing face.
Chanyoel. Instantly his face turned flat again.
" I admit to that mistake. I knew I had no good reason to defend myself. But thank you for coming to me here.” said Baik Hyun while looking at Chanyoel.
“I assume Chanyane has forgiven Lay. Now are you two alone?” suho stared at Kai, and Sehun.
"Your dragon! who says I want to forgive and take him back. I said like that doesn't mean I'm ..."
"Your mouth has revealed what is in your heart and mind. As for whatever reason you deny it, your little heart is actually willing to forgive and accept Lay including Baek Hyun. Otherwise, there's no way you're going to catch up with us wearing just that nightgown and those fur sandals. You will also come home alone and will not sit here with us if you do not want all this." Suho said.
"Look ..."
"Nothing needs to be continued. Absolute decision. Now it's just the two of you" said Suho as he looked at Sehun and Kai.
“Give 3 reasons why we should forgive you?” sehun said to Lay.
“First ...
I miss being with you guys. I want to be together again even if I'm not a member.”
“Ke two ..” Lay looked at the sky of the inn trying to find a reason that could stir the hearts of Kai and Sehun. “I love you all," Lay replied as he could.
"to three ..."
“Wait ..." cut Sehun. Give each of us 3 reasons, I can only accept you.”
“I also ..” connect Chanyoel. “given you earlier does not mean I really accept you."
“ Alright, if that I have many reasons" Lay said as he looked at his three friends alternately.
"For Kai .. I admire him because he's a great dancer. I miss talking about her dance. I miss your roast too. Kai-made roast is the best roast I've ever tasted," Praise Lay sincerely.
Kai had to bow his head and hide his smile. He could not deny that he was flattered to hear the compliment.
“Sehun ...
Sehun is a very pleasant person. I don't know why, I always felt good about him. Honestly Sehun is spoiled, innocent is also ignorant, but he is very kind. I miss going out with her while buying clothes and accessories. I like the Fasion. For me, her style of dress always suited me and it was the best. Sehun stared at the ceiling of the house trying to act ordinary even though his heart also soared to hear the praise.
and Chanyoel ...
Lay smiled as he looked down.
"Sometimes I smile and even laugh at myself given the sound of your fart ..” Lay said with a serious face. Except for Chanyoel who suddenly glared at Lay, almost everyone in the room tried to hold back his laughter hearing Lay's unexpected words.
“Why ... why are you talking about farting!!”
“That's special. Your fart ... it sounds loud but it doesn't smell.”
“Ah ... why ...” The embarrassed Chanyoel was unable to continue his words. His voice was drowned out by the laughter of the people who instantly broke out in the room. Lay who said with all his heart just fell silent confused to see the behavior of his friends.
“What's funny ..” Lay looked at D. O. and Chen, whose laughter grew louder until it lay on the floor. More so when they realized Chanyoel's expression that seemed not to accept Lay's words about him.
Suho's face flushed with laughter. In his heart he felt relieved. There will be hope that they can be together like before, although maybe not as EXO members.
“Why don't you accept that. You even fart while sleeping. Your eyes and mouth are also open like this,” said Sehun while mimicking the style of Chanyoel when sleeping.
“Ah .. Do you remember the time in lifh? Suddenly there was a smell of fart, and he was busy looking for his actors. Though it was itself,” Chen's story.
“How did you know that I did it!?”
“Not during practice do you fart?” D.O.
“Why now attack me?” Chanyoel still did not accept the judgment of his friends.
“Already ... the point is Lay misses your special fart. Ah .. Lay, is there anything else you miss about Chanyoel?” Ask Suho.
“Of course I miss his unique sleeping style.”
“Why do you remember about me being all ugly?” chanyoel protest
“I'm not done yet madih there's one more."
"No, no no no! Whatever it is I don't want to hear it anymore." Chanyoel said.

“Next month I will take over the leadership of Antares,” Lay announced something surprising after the atmosphere began to subside.
"Plok plok block,” D.O clapped his own hands with a proud expression. But not so with other members who seem to not believe the words of Lay. So all this time they've been under Lay's family-owned company?
Actually Antares is one of our family-owned companies. So I deliberately took over so I could come back here and work with you again" Lay explained.
This time the 6 members turned their eyes to Suho who seemed to know about this.
“Why?” Ask Suho in wonder.
“What's our entry into the company that's part of your plan?” Ask Kai.
“True ... there are many companies that offer cooperation, but you and the manager prefer that company.” Sehun continued.
“Actually, 'yes.' Wouldn't it be more convenient to work with your best friend?"
The members were silent. It's only fitting that things have felt so easy all this time. They were even impressed at the company.
“Both. I decided to add one member of EXO.”
“Hei! Don't expect you to be our leader, then you can add members at will. Do you think it's that easy to accept other people in a group who have survived for years!” chanyoel protest. “No, no no, if that one I won't accept.”
“What do you mean Baekhyun?” D.O tried to guess.
"jila is right, I'm sorry. I ... I will not be able to." replied Baek Hyun as he bowed.
“why?” Chen represents the question his friends want to ask.
Fine Htun was silent for a moment. The man sighed many times before explaining the real reason that the people in the room were not expecting.
“You don't have to answer. I understand" Suho said as if understanding the burden his best friend carried. "I came with them only to meet you, not to force you back.
" But come back you're ready to go back" Lay continued.
“Then, I will allow other members for you.”
“Hei .. I told you there will be no addition of members. If we refuse, you can't force it!"
“Although you're the leader of the company, aren't you really outrageous if you take your own discretion?” connect Sehun.
“True, it cost us” Kai said.
“No member additions, EXO remains 7 people unless baekhyun with us” Sehun returns his opinion.
“Then this is the case, we will terminate the contract with the company."
“What is the person you mean?” Chen, who was just wailing, heard the protest his friends decided to ask.
“YAAAA!!!!” The men yelled at Chen
“It is .... Me ...”
“Plook ... Plook .. pok ..." D. O. clapped back, followed by Chen. Baek Hyun seemed to be smiling happily as he clutched his two thumbs.
“Welcome, I'm glad you're back,” Chen stood up to Lay and hugged him. D.O did something similar. The three people hugged each other so happily. Without being able to hold back, the three of them soared to celebrate a joy that was unimaginable before.
No one seems to be protesting anymore. Honestly, they would prefer if Lay returned with them to be their leader. Boss and member? Isn't Lay too greedy?
