The Hidden - Chapter 16: Adoption
Kai's new job began that night.
"This is fantastic - I don't know where he lives." he mutters sarcastically to himself when he arrives at the Split. "Wha- oof!" He lets out a small noise in surprise as he gets pulled into the alley.
"Shush." Chanyeol whispers. "Follow the boys home; they're coming back from the cinemas." he tells the boy. Kai nods seriously in response.
"Okay. If they see you and ask how you know where they live, remember, I was never here." Chanyeol whispers before running away, his footsteps silent. Kai chuckles, the noise muffled by his hand when he notices the boys coming closer.
"-and then we went for food." Baekhyun's voice echoes.
"And that was all that happened?" Xiumin raises an eyebrow, clearly sceptical.
"Mmhm." Baekhyun nods, confirming this but lying. DO and Xiumin share a look. "Honest!" He raises his hands into the air. "Now come on! It's so damned cold." He complains, rubbing his arms and jogging to the house. They all run to the door, Xiumin taking out the key and opening the door, the boys piling in and shutting the door behind them quickly.
Kai watches from afar and waits. He listens intently:
"Can we get pizza?"
"Are you still hungry?"
"Nah - just bored."
"What-?"
"Baekhyun hyung and Kyungsoo hyung." He mutters, hearing creaking from inside the house. "Stairs." He makes his leave and speeds over to their tree, gripping the branches and pulling himself up. Easy. His smirk is quickly wiped off of his face as the window opens and he flattens himself against the wall, praying that the window doesn't hit him in the face.
"What is it?" Xiumin hyung.
"Nothing - I thought I heard something." DO replies. "Guess it was just the wind and the old tree." he mutters, swinging the window shut and locking it. Kai lets out a breath of relief before cursing lightly and listening in again.
"I am getting weird amounts of nostalgia - it's actually disgusting." The boys chuckle at the eldest. "I remember when your parents adopted us." DO grins, slightly pained.
"We were on our own and you guys helped us a lot." Baekhyun tuts and hugs them both tight.
"Don't you dare push me away- anyhow, you guys are my brothers. It's my job to stay by you guys." He breaks off and laughs. "When we saw you two having a go at the council, we were literally just going to annoy them about voting."
"I had all right to have a go!" Xiumin protests, sitting on his knees. "I could have looked after us but no: I had to be freaking 19 then!" he huffs, grabbing a pillow and laying on his back. "It was only a one year difference for God's sake."
"DO's asleep." Baekhyun whispers, motioning for them to do so as well.
Kai's eyes widen in surprise. They're brothers. Damn. He lets out a breath. Why didn't they tell us? He wonders before wishing himself and the others a mental goodnight and settling to sleep, only to wake at 05:00 and leave before he could get caught.
