Pairing: Baekhyun/Joonmyun
Rating: PG
Genre: fantasy
Length: haha sorry, it's only 788 words, I have exchanges to run with right now x.x (will probably be around 7k)
Summary/Warnings: I don't have one yet, but Joonmyun basically brings Wizard!Baekhyun out of a book. No warnings.
Joonmyun has always loved books, since he was a kid and his mother would buy him tons of them but never read any for him, but she’d never allow him to read aloud ever since his dad died, Joonmyun is already seventeen and he still feels sad over it.
He’s homeschooled, he’d never had friends aside from his mother and his uncle that lives at the capitol city.
“We’re going to visit uncle Kim,” his mother tells Joonmyun when he’s lying on his stomach on his bed, rereading his favorite book and closing it when he takes notice that his mother is standing on the doorstep, talking to him. “You have an hour to pack everything you’ll need and we’ll be going there tonight.”
“What? But it’s already eleven at night” Joonmyun replies without thinking, but his mother already left, he sighs and gets up, putting the book back to its place and grabbing a small bag on his hanger.
Aside from his clothes and what’s really necessary, he takes three books to carry with him, he just can’t go somewhere without one - though he prefer fantasies, he forgot to read the rest of those Harry Potter books his mother thought he’d like, they’re already creating dust - and the small notebook his mother made for him, she’s still a bookbinder, but his dad used to work downtown.
He finishes packing quickly and goes to the living room, to find his mother sitting on the couch with her eyes closed.
“Mom?” Joonmyun asks, afraid that she’s sleeping and that he’s disturbing her. “We’re really going to London?”
“Yes,” she replies, still with her eyes closed. “Your uncle is getting old, he asked us to visit him, we’re the only remaining of what he calls family.”
“Oh.” Joonmyun whispers, he doesn’t remember his uncle Kim and he’s quite sure that they never met, maybe if his father was still alive he would. It was unfortunate when the police knocked on their door while his mother was making dinner, he was the one that answered it, the policeman told that the unexpected happened, that his father was in the middle of a car crash, the only thing that he did that day was to go out to visit the bookstore, because his mother and him asked for something that they didn’t have at home.
Every once in a while Joonmyun regrets it, he feels like he was the cause of everything, but he knows his mother blames herself too.
Maybe leaving this house for a while will do them some good, they’ve been living here the longest, Joonmyun is not sure of how long they’ll be away, but he feels like something exciting might happen, new air is the best option.
His mother smiles at his thoughtful expression, patting his head and getting up, dusting her dress with her hands and sighing.
“Let’s go, my bag is at the back seat already.” she says, turning her back to him and getting the car key at the table. Joonmyun follows her with light steps.
The car travel from Derby to London is not really long, Joonmyun falls asleep next to his mother and wakes up to the sun shining through the windows, blocking his vision insomuch that he needs to try to find a different position.
“Weren’t we supposed to have arrived already?” Joonmyun asks looking outside the window and seeing the streets of London right in front of him, he has never been here and it looks amazing already, just like in the movies.
“I got lost,” she tells him and scratches the back of her neck. “But I know we’re almost there.”
“Isn’t that big mansion?” Joonmyun points when they turn the corner, it’s similar to the one he saw on old pictures of his dad and he’s quite sure that it’s not really normal for big houses to be located in the middle of the city like this.
“Possibly,” she replies and Joonmyun smiles at her. “Should’ve used the satellite navigation.”
“I think you should stop the car in front of those gates.” Joonmyun points and she agrees, driving carefully until they reach their destination.
His mother stops the car and opens the door, getting out and taking a key from her pocket, opening the lock, something Joonmyun wasn’t expecting, pushing the gates to give the car space to pass through it.
“Your dad had a copy back at home,” she explains to Joonmyun who’s still a little astonished. “It’s breakfast time, uncle Kim must be awake already.”
She parks the car and Joonmyun jumps out of it, looking around and sighting a big garden, it’s all green, he forgot it’s still winter, this means no roses.
