21 . To hurt
BaekHyun
"Hey Baekhyun?" I heard a familiar voice calling my name from behind. I turn back to look at him. A smile grew at the corner of my lips.
"Hey Kris!" I said cheerfully. He took his steps closer to me with a bright smile on his face.
"What you're doing?" He asked me while leaning his hand over the counter.
"What else would someone do in the cafeteria'?" I asked him raising an eyebrow. He chuckled.
"Yea yea! I got it." He snorted.
"I... Shall we go out tonight?!" He said looking at the glass shyly, trying to hide his blush. I giggled as I nod my head.
"Sure." I agreed, which made him smile even more brightly.
"Okay! I have some work to do, I'll get going now. Then, we'll go this weekend. I hope you won't have any issues coming with me."
"Of course not."
"Well then! Bye." He said waving at me before leaving the sight.
"BaekHyun?" I heard my sisters voice from behind. I turn back to look at her staring at Kris who was heading outside the Cafe'.
"Can I have a minute with you?" She asked me hoping for something. I smiled and nod my head as we both started walking out of the cafeteria to the yard at the back of the library. I followed her.
We both came to the most silent place of our school, as no one usually use to come here. He stopped in his track and turn back to look at him. "BaekHee? What did you call me for?" I asked her eagerly.
I studied all her facial features. She was having a straight and an unpredictable expression on her face. I sighed shaking my head.
"BaekHyun ah? I know you've been well trained along with the boys and have a good understanding with all the boys. But ever since the day you came to Seoul, I kept insisting on you something regarding not to get close to anyone around here. Yet you did it." He said as a splint of rage rushed through him.
"But they are your friends. Why don't you trust them?" I asked him a little confused and worried.
"I know they are. They all are like my brothers, but still when it comes to priority you matter the most and I am least bothered about them. I can't trust them so blindly, losing you over them. I know your relationships are Sunbae and dongsaeng, but still it doesn't feel so right. Something keeps itching my heart for no reason." He said in anguish.
"They are my friends, I know about them."
"They are my friends before you came."
"What? You are splintering things saying 'You' , 'Me' and not 'Us'?" I asked with blood shot eyes, just a blink would let a drop of tear.
"No! I didn't mean that."
"You do! You don't care about me. You doubt me a lot. That's why you keep insisting things on me and never keep me some privacy always keep following me around." I can feel my sockets are welling up.
"BaekHyun please stop. I did all these to protect you."
"Protect me? Keeping me locked in your house to protect me, Pushing me away from not getting close to them is to protect me? Always staying by my side, not a single minute giving me a privacy and can't do things on my own is to protect me?" I yelled while at her weeping hard.
"No! Please let me say something."
"No! I am done. No more I can listen to your words, I am not ready enough for that. Let me be alone for few days, I don't need you anymore. To your knowledge I am saying it again, I am a grown up and not a kid. I'll take care of myself. Goodbye." I said rushing the other side. I felt the pain creaking inside my heart, I was too broken and unsteady to even glance at her.
I blinked a few drops of tear as I walked away bearing the pain in my heart. If she felt jealous and hurt cause she couldn't lead a life she wanted to, then does it mean she can shut me off of my friends? I fucking don't care.

I dragged pulling the chair towards me making a creaking sound and made myself sit. I grabbed my phone my pocket and went through notifications from every app. Just then, I heard a sound of the chair screeching the floor the other side of me. I didn't mind to look at who it was, cause I already knew it.
Then I watched the maids placing the food on the table and waiting behind me for augment. I sighed frustrated and went back scrolling through Instagram news feed. Suddenly someone pulled my phone off of me. I trailed along and saw Min Young standing beside me grumpy.
"Wae?" I grumbled looking at her in her eyes.
"It's time to eat and not for this." She demanded. I rolled my eyes crossing my hands over my chest and stared at the food before me.
"You too BaekHee." She added. I moved my gaze from food to her who was seated at the opposite side of me with her eyes focused onto the phone. I sighed.
"Can't you hear her? Just throw that bullshit away for a while. WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING TO?" I yelled at her. Her eyes slowly started to turn red a cluster of veins diverged, as her eyes filled with tears. She bit her lips while holding back her tears.
"Why do you always keep doubting me? Leave me alone please." She shouted back as she stood up from the chair and sprinted to her room. I watched her leaving my sight. I sighed in despair.
"Hey! Did something happen between the two of you?" Min Young asked placing her hand on my shoulder. I put my head over my hands, closing my eyes and started to let out a tear.

The next morning
BaekHee
"Did you hear that? I heard people talking about Taeyeon acting different around everyone since yesterday." Ji Eun said tapping the pen over the desk.
"Oh!" I was too blear out in deep thoughts to pay attention to her. She smacked on my shoulder, made me cringe at her sudden act.
"Are you even listening to me?" She asked me with her eyes wide open, looked more like it would pop out any time.
"Uhm.. ya! I do." I guided myself to fake a smile. I watched Chanyeol, followed by Baekhyun entering the class. I fake coughed turning to face the other side of the class.
I heard their footsteps nearing us, as they walk passed me. I felt someone sitting behind me, and eventually it is my brother. I turn over looking at Ji Eun.
"Hey! I don't feel like it's comfortable here. Suho hyung, please can we exchange places as it is suffocating me here it would much better If I sit there in your place." I asked looking at him who was seated in front of me. He was puzzled.
"What why?"
"You don't have to push yourself hard to avoid me BaekHee. I am leaving, Channie." I heard him disclosed. I turn back to look at him grabbing his bag rushing outside offended. I felt insecure and blamed.
"Hey! Are you guys alright?" Chanyeol asked me uptight. I closed my eyes not wanting to answer any of their questions.
"BaekHee?" I heard Chanyeol calling my name. I lifted my head to look at him.
"Oppa?" I wept.

End of the day
Kyung Soo
"Why do they act weird like that? I still don't get it. She acts all caring about her brother and then dump him for no reason. She is acting strange these days." Suho criticized.
"I don't think so. She is very caring and loves him so much. She just doesn't know the difference between caring and over protecting. Because of that she spoils his privacy and that's what makes him hate her." I said.
"Maybe!" I rolled my eyes walking to the kitchen to get some drinks. I opened the refrigerator and grabbed 2 beer and a breezer. Just then I heard him mumbling something.
"Kyungsoo ah kyungsoo ah kyungsoo ah! Come here." I turn back to look at him focused on the orbuculum. I walked towards him placing the bottles on the table and went near him.
"Look at this." He said showing me the orbuculum. My jaw dropped looking at it.
"It's changing colours. It was blue before, but now it has changed to black." He said in disbelief. I nod my head in awe.
"Yes it is! I leaned in front closer to the magical sphere looking deep trying to read something.
"What is it?" He asked me. I gasped and stood back.
"It's an alert signal." I muttered.

Baekhyun
I took a quick shower before going to bed. I brushed the towel hard ruffling dried my hair as I walked towards the bed. I noticed my phone was vibrating and the light was blinking.
I went closer, tried to grab the phone in my hand but suddenly I felt a notice outside. It wasn't a notice, but more like some sounds formed due to the wind darting over the building and trees.
I felt my heart skipped a beat when I saw a shadow near the window. I petrified and took my steps back, as much as I back off I notice the shadow getting wider. I gulped and tried not to make any noise. I watched the shadow slowly disappearing.
I don't know what to do so I walked towards the door and pushed off the curtains and looked out. I found no one except for the hard wind blowing as the trees moved wildly.
"Is.. is anyone there? ... Please... Please don't ... Try to scare me.. Whoever you are ... Come in front.." I stammered in shiver. I took a deep taking a view giving it a thorough scan and turn back.
What I saw scared me to death. A man wearing a black thick leathery coat with his face covered with a mask. My heart beat raised as I took my steps back stumbling.
"Wh.. who... who are you?" I stuttered in palpitation. As much he took his steps forward, I took my steps back and at one point I hit the wall as I was trapped between the strange creature and me.
"Please.. Don't do anything to me.. " I shivered. He came closer as a smirk formed at the corner of his lips.
"Please!" I said letting out a tear, gripping my hands at the hem of my shirt.
"BAEKHEE..." I mumbled under breath.
"BAEKHEE! SAVE ME..." I shouted to the maximum pitch of my voice. The man rushed to me and caught me by my wrist as he trapped me with his left hand wrapped around my neck and his right hand covered my mouth.
I felt his hot breath brushing through my cheeks as he leaned closer to me. "Keep silent." He said in hoarse voice. I clenched in fear.
"Ba..Baekhee...." I cried softly undertone. While I was preparing myself to face my nearing death, I got snapped out off my thoughts with the door dash opened revealing my sister. I smiled while crying heavily.
"Baekhee!" I cried out loud. She panicked and looked furious.
"BaekHyun ah?" She got scared too.
"I am scared." The man tighten his grip over my neck making me flinch in pain. I couldn't bare up the pain. I felt like my flesh was burnt and I was drowning to death. As slowly, I saw shouting my name rushing to me, before everything around me got blurry and finally blacked out.
