#exo 12

Luhan

Luhan had requested you personally, even though he usually worked alone. He was the type of guy to get in and out fast. He didn’t need a distraction since he was able to blend into a crowd and mostly go unseen. You had been suspicious but you went along with his plan. It had went along splendidly and you were on the way home. When he wouldn’t stop staring, you asked what his problem was. “I’ve been watching you for awhile now.” He smirked as he slid closer. “I think it’s about time we get to know each other better, don’t you?”

  Kris

He didn’t need you and he made that clear. He was in charge and he had everything under control… but your handbag did come in handy, not that he would ever admit it. He was able to sneak in the explosives within the lining of your bag with no one noticing. He was glad - at least he didn’t have to ruin another suit. He was in his own world and it seemed as if he hadn’t noticed you at all, but halfway through the night his fingers crept up your thigh.

“This dress is distracting. It barely covers anything.”

  Suho

You weren’t sure why Suho was going to this party at all. He hadn’t told you anything except that he needed a pretty accessory. You were that accessory. You had rolled your eyes at the little black Prada dress he had laid out on the bed for you in the motel. The diamonds adorning your skin were beautiful but you weren’t impressed with the depth of his pockets. In the car he was admiring your dress, a small smile on his lips. When you rolled your eyes and tried to turn away, his fingers dug into your cheeks. His lips were millimeters away from your own.

“Don’t forget the mission. Why don’t we practice now?”

  Yixing

He had discussed the plan with you with minimal detail. He needed information and was going to use you to get it - that was the extent of his debriefing. He let his hand fall to the small of your back as you both laughed at another guest’s lame joke. Lay had circled the room a few times before settling on the man so you figured he was important. You did what you were told and flashed your best smile. A few shy glances to the floor and the guy was practically eating out of your hand.

On the way back, Lay sat in the car in silence, his eyes wandering over your bare skin. When you asked what was wrong, he simply replied, “You did well. You were very… convincing.”

  Baekhyun

Baekhyun had found the roulette table and he  was on a winning streak. Your nails were digging so hard into his thigh that you knew it had to be drawing blood. He ignored it, keeping you in place on his knee. He had introduced you as his beautiful lucky charm when he sat down at the table and now you were stuck there. “Shouldn’t we get this show on the road?” He looked up at you finally, taking in his surroundings. “Hmm? I know what you want-” his eyes sparkled with mischief, “-but first, I’m feeling lucky.”

  Jongdae

He had made it clear from the beginning that you were there for one thing and one thing only - to be a distraction. He needed to get in and out with the stolen goods without being noticed. At least that had been what he told you the night before when he had gone over the plan, discussing every possibility at length.

When he saw you tonight, however, his jaw dropped. “Now that’s what I call a distraction.”

  Chanyeol

Suho had asked you to keep an eye on him. Chanyeol was, after all, unpredictable. He was the type of guy that could make or break a mission. You never knew which version would show up and Kris wasn’t taking chances. When he saw you, a smirk flashed across his face. He had been a perfect gentleman, opening the door for you and ordering you a drink as soon as you arrived. After that, he had kept you glued to his side. His hands wandered over your body as you made your way further into the party. “Stay close. We wouldn’t want to break the spell now, would we?”

  Kyungsoo

You shifted back and forth on your feet waiting for his approval. He had picked out everything for tonight. He walked around you several times in silence. When it looked like he wasn’t going to stop, you raised an eyebrow and asked if it was okay. He nodded before walking to the door and holding it open for you. “That’s it?” He smiled, closing and locking the door once more. “I see. You wanted something else?” “We’re going to be late,” You interjected, trying to brush past him. He grabbed your arm, pulling you further inside the hotel room.

“We have time. You wanted to know what I really think, correct?”

  Tao

Tao needed a layout of the area. His target wasn’t the party but the building next door. He was able to get all he needed from the large open balcony, leaving him with no obvious ties to the building. Plus it was a great excuse to see you dressed up. He knew this was painful for you and that made it all that much more fun for him. When you refused to dance, he stared you down, reminding you that you had been told to follow his every command.

“When I say jump, you ask how high. Now dance like you mean it.”

  Jongin

He had left you for a moment to go get drinks and now you were forced to clench your teeth and smile as some self-important jerk grabbed your ass while discussing the state of the world today. You were five seconds away from grabbing his throat when you felt Kai’s arms wrap around your waist. He had trapped the other man’s hand between your two bodies and the man was clearly distressed, struggling in vain to escape. Kai excused you both before dragging you to the corner. He stared at the man from across the room, whispering, “How dare someone touch what’s mine.”

Sehun

Sehun had told you that you weren’t needed on the mission but hadn’t stopped you from tagging along. You had to get experience somehow. He needed to get close enough to a few people to clone their phones, or something like that. You hadn’t really been paying attention since he liked to drone on about technical details.

A few rounds and a few conversations later, Sehun had dragged you to the corner. You weren’t sure why he was upset - you had been doing what he had told you. He looked you up and down and cursed before pushing you into a chair. “Just sit there and look pretty while I take care of this.”

When Tao got home he heard the familiar song echoing throughout the house. Stepping into the living room he saw the two of you sitting on the floor, directly in front of the television. She sat between your legs leaning back onto you for support. Your arms wrapped around her as you got into the movie as well. “I’m home” he chanted after a while making both of your heads turn towards him.

“Daddy” your daughter quickly got out of your hold and clung onto Tao until he picked her up. 

You got off the floor and went to hug your husband as well. “I missed you so much” you gave him a kiss on the cheek. Your daughter got jealous and also kissed his cheek, “Me too.”

Tao laughed, he didn’t mind all the attention, he actually loved it. “I missed you too Bei Bei.” He called his daughter by her nickname and kissed her cheek before setting her back on the ground. “Your movie is still playing you better go watch it.”

She gasped remembering about her movie and went back to the television leaving you two alone. That was when Tao was finally able to kiss your lips. It was always hard for him to show his affection for you because of Bei Bei. Only when she wasn’t around he was able to kiss you. “I missed you even more.”

You hid your blushing face in his chest. “Then don’t leave for so long.” 

“Where’s the prince?” Tao asked for his son concerned that he hadn't seen him yet. He was only one year younger than his sister but was treated totally different since he was the youngest. 

"He's sleeping because in his own words: Boxuan is the only one who matters in this house. We can forget about him." Your son had gotten upset when you allowed your daughter to watch Frozen instead of taking his side so he could watch what he wanted that he even called his sister by her name rather than her nickname. "He's a bit dramatic like his Daddy. Well, you two look identical so we should have known the personality would be there too." 

"Can't complain now, we're married. You're stuck with me for the rest of your life. I'll be free of you once you die because you will die first." He flipped his non-existent long hair and walked away leaving you in a fit of giggles. 

Tao had a sharp tongue. You were used to his bitchy, sassy, and sometimes rude remarks. "I can't wait for our son to be a teenager!" you shouted sarcastically. It would be hell for sure.

Going to his son’s room Tao sighed feeling a bit guilty for showing up so suddenly only to leave once more. He still had work to do and needed to leave again in the morning. He would be gone for another three days of filming but he missed you and his kids so much that he decided to come home for the night.

The rest of the evening you were glad to see your kids so happy. Your son had even forgotten about his fight with his sister which helped you out a lot. Their bedtime was fast approaching so you needed to get them to ready for bed no matter how cute it was to see Tao sitting with both kids on his lap. “Bei Bei let’s bathe you first.”

“But I want to stay with Daddy,” she whined. She knew her time with her father was always limited.

“It’s okay, you will see him tomorrow.”

“Actually,” Tao cleared his throat. “I have to leave tomorrow morning.”

You were shocked to hear he was leaving again so soon. “What? When are you leaving?”

“Early in the morning. They told me I have some scenes to film in a different location and will be gone for three days.”

Bei Bei began to cry without warning when she heard her father would be leaving. One thing about your daughter was that she was a sensitive little girl and cried very often. Every time Tao left she would sob uncontrollably for hours until she could get over it and remembered he would be back eventually. 

“Princess it’s okay.” Tao held her closer and kissed the top of her head in an effort to pacify her. “You know Daddy will be back.”

Xuetao starred at his sister and felt sad too. He never really cried about him leaving but Bei Bei’s crying made it seem like Tao wasn’t coming back and that scared him. “Don’t go,” he told Tao with a very straight face. “Mommy tell him he can’t go so Bei Bei won’t cry.”

You were saddened by the news too. Of course, you didn’t want to be away from your husband so long but this was the life you signed up for. You had to share Tao with not only your kids but his work and fans. 

Knowing it would be impossible to remove Bei Bei you decided to go for the easier target. “Daddy has work to do so he has to go.” You took your son from Tao’s lap and assured him it was fine. “Daddy always comes back.” You turned to your daughter. “Bei Bei you know Daddy will come back.”

She hid her face in Tao’s chest refusing to let go of him.

“I’ll get him ready for bed first,” you told Tao. “Just do your best with her.” You could see Tao was taking it hard as well. He looked shaken up to the point where you could see tears gathering in the corners of his eyes. It hurt him to leave his kids behind as well and this didn’t make it any easier.

The next day you were the only one awake to see Tao off. After helping him with his packing you rolled out his suitcase from the bedroom to the entrance but he wasn’t there. You heard the sound of a door closing and turned to see him coming out of your son’s room. Tao had red puffy eyes you didn’t notice before. “Honey, are you crying?” you asked in a low voice.

Tao got closer allowing you to see that he was. WIth your arms now draped around him he dabbed at his eyes with the palms of his hands. “I feel like a bad dad for leaving.” His voice was shaky as he tried to control his feelings.

“You are a great dad, that’s why they cry. They love you so much and miss you just as much. One day they will understand that you are only doing what is best.” You wanted to cheer him up so he wouldn’t leave with his head in a bad place. “There will be a day when they ask you for Gucci because let’s face it they will, they’re your kids. That day when you are easily able to buy it for them they will know why.” You kissed his tear stained cheek and smiled. “And that’s just material possessions there is much more that makes you a good father. Despite your workload, you still come back for a few hours just to spend time with them. The best gift a parent can give a child is time. You don’t have much of that but you find it somehow and make them happy.”

Tao finally smiled. He held you tightly and buried his face in your neck. “I love you and I know I don’t deserve you but I’m so thankful I was able to lock you down for myself.”

You laughed, running your hands up and down his back comfortingly. “Stupid of course you deserve me. We are the best couple in the world.”

“We are,” he agreed.

“Look who’s back,” you gasped as you opened the door. Your kids were standing right behind you being nosy like always. They wanted to see who was ringing their doorbell so late at night. 

The day Tao came back your kids had forgotten all about the scene they made. They were children after all. “Daddy!”, they shouted with glee as they ran to him. The entrance was crowded as Tao tried to carry them both in at the same time. 

Tao, on the other hand, didn’t. He still remembered how distraught they were and wanted to make it up to them. “How are my prince and princess?”

“Happy,” your daughter threw her hands up to show the excitement she felt having her father back. Your son followed along and did the same, “Me too.”

“Me three” you added. Tao’s smiling face always made you smile but this time it meant more because you wanted him to see that you were right. He was a good father. After all, he had just come back from a long three days of filming with dark circles around his eyes yet pretended like he wasn’t tired at all. “Come on you two Daddy is tired.” You tried taking your son from Tao but he stopped you.

“It’s okay I can carry them. Come on, I have something to tell all of you.” He walked past you and into the living room with both kids. 

“What is it, what is it?” Bei Bei kept asking.

“We have to wait for Mama.” Tao set them down on their own two feet. He sat down and Bei Bei followed him.

“Mommy hurry!” Bei Bei couldn’t wait any longer.

“I’m coming...” After closing the front door and placing his luggage out of the way you joined them. As soon as you sat down beside Tao your son climbed onto your lap.

“Can you tell us now?” Bei Bei looked up at Tao with anticipation. He nodded, “Daddy has some time off so I want to take you to Disneyland in Hong Kong.”

Everyone gasped, including you. Bei Bei and Xuetao jumped off the couch and began jumping around the room. It was just too much excitement for them that they couldn’t control their bodies. 

“When are we going?” Bei Bei asked.

“Tomorrow and we will stay there two days.”

Your eyes widened as you stared at your husband. This was all so sudden but not unexpected. It was easy to see that he was trying to make up for last time but you had concerns. 

That night your kids were very obedient and eager to sleep because the sooner they slept, the sooner they would wake up and be on their way to Disneyland. After putting them to bed you found Tao sprawled across the foot of the bed with his phone in hand. The screen was still lit, letting you know it wasn’t his intention to fall asleep. 

A sigh made it past your lips as you reached for his phone. Tao didn’t even move when slipped it out of his hands. “Huang Zitao you are too tired to be running around an amusement park,” you whispered.

His eyes opened once you placed your lips on his forehead. “Y/N-” he called your name still half asleep. 

You giggled knowing he was trying his best like always. “Tao maybe we should postpone-”

“No,” he shook his head. “They are so excited. I am tired but I want to spend time with them and you.” He crawled up the bed and laid in his spot properly. “Come here,” he lifted the covers and patted the spot beside him asking for you to lay down. 

You didn’t hesitate to cooperate. As soon as you laid down he pulled the covers over you and pulled you closer to him. His arms wrapped around your upper body while his legs entangled yours. 

Tao pressed his lips against your forehead then your lips. “I love you” was the last thing he said before knocking out once more. 

“I love you too” you lightly pressed your lips against his trying not to wake him again. He was the best father and he didn’t even know it.

-end-

A/N: Tao was on a show called “Charming Daddy” where he took care of Boxuan, aka Bei Bei as if she were his daughter. Three other male celebrities joined him and each took care of another kid, except for one who had two. Xuetao aka Dan Dan was a kid on the show too. Many people said he looked like Tao. They really did go to Disneyland and it was the cutest thing ever!
