"What would you like for dinner, baby?" Sehun circles his arm around Baekhyun's shoulder, looking at him as they walked home from the bus station.

"I craving for the tteokboki infront of our apartment, can we eat that?" Baekhyun says with a cute smile. Sehun softly pinched his cheek, nodding at the latter "of course- lets head there then, why you loved tteokboki so much, hm?" I asked curiously.

Baekhyun's lips formed a pout and his finger rubbing on his chin "because... they're delicious?" he innocently answers. Sehun chuckles on his boyfriend's cuteness , then he pulls him closer just to plant a kiss on the younger guy's temple.

Both of them are having a fun chatting and flirting along their way home, when suddenly a black van goes passing them, and stopped right infront of them.

Not long after that, three muscular men come out from the van, approaching us. Sehun quickly makes Baekhyun stands behind him, while both of them slowly moves backwards.

Those men fasten their pace and one of them immediately grabbed Sehun on his wrist.

"Mr. Oh sehun, you have to come with us" the man says.

Sehun who was confused , looks at Baekhyun then tries to free himself from the man's grip "what the hell??! Let me go!"

"I'm scared it's not gonna happen, we're being commanded to bring you with us, so better come with us when we still being nice" the man coldly says and he hashly pulls Sehun towards the car. Baekhyun who was staying behind Sehun, grabbed sehun's body, try to hold him.

"NO! You can't take him away!! Let him go before I scream and call everyone out!!"

The man who grabbed sehun clicked his tongue, he signaled the other two to take care of Baekhyun, meanwhile sehun still struggling to get himself off of the man who's unbelievably strong.

"DON'T !! YOU DO ANYTHING TO HIM-" Sehun shouts out as the other two men grabbed Baekhyun's arms. Baekhyun screamed Sehun's name and one of the man cupped his hand on Baekhyun's mouth to prevent him making any more loud noises. Baekhyun tries to struggle but those two men are too strong for the little Baekhyun.

"F*ck!! They just make it harder!"

Sehun's eyes widen when the man who grabbed him take out a gun from his suit, and points it directly to Baekhyun.

"N-No!! DON'T!!"

Dor!

"no!"

Sehun awakened from his sleep when the nightmare attacks his sleep. His entire body is sweating and he's panting hard. His eyes are slightly watery , it looks like he cried in his sleep. He looks around, and finds himself on his own bed and the little Baekhyun beside him. Baekhyun rubbed his eyes, seems like he's also awaken. He looks at Sehun with his half-sleepy eyes, then moves to hugs the taller guy.

"Sehunie~ what's going on?" he asked when he looked on Sehun's tense expression. Sehun quickly wrapped his arms around the petite boy, hugging him tightly. His face is buried on Baekhyun's neck as he squeezes Baekhyun's body.

"S-sehun..what happened?" Baekhyun turns his head towards sehun, softly patting the older guy's back.

Sehun's shoulders are quivering, his lips are mumbling something which not clearly heard by Baekhyun, the only words he can hear are "I don't want to lose him"

"Sehun.." Baekhyun sighed then pulls himself away, he grabbed Sehun's broad shoulders and looks at him on his eyes "tell me..what's going on? Did you have a nightmare?" Baekhyun asked, and the older guy just nodded his head slowly. Sehun bites his lips, then sniffing.

(picture credit to @yooocookie)

"gosh.. it's just a nightmare- don't think too much about it.. it's not real, sehun.." Baekhyun sighed and softly rubbed Sehun's shoulders. Sehun shakes his head "b-but..it feels so real.. I had a bad feeling that something gonna happen between u-us.." his voice trembling as he speak.

Baekhyun curled up his brows before pulling Sehun into a hug, comforting the older guy as he softly gives him a peck after that "don't worry and get to sleep.. nothing going to happen, okay? It's just a dream.. maybe you're too tired that you got a nightmare" he smiles. Sehun pouts his lips like a small puppy, he slowly nods his head without letting go of Baekhyun. Baekhyun chuckles at his cuteness, pulling the older guy to lay down and let Sehun sleeps on his chest.

"... Baekhyun.."

Baekhyun glances at the latter "hm?"

"I will.. always protect you, that's why.. always stay by my side.. alright?" he mumbles.

Baekhyun cutely smiles, he nodded in response and hugging the latter tighter.

"I will always stay with you, Sehun.. I love you"

"I love you too, so much.."

-Sehun's pov-

"Sehunniee~ have you done your bath yet?? What taking you so long??" Baekhyun folds his arms on his chest as he nervously keep looking at the clock. I do heard him, but I just.. don't feel want to leave the house. I sighed before finally walk towards the door and leaves the bathroom. And there, Baekhyun pouting like a little kid while sitting on the sofa, glaring at me.

"yahh! What are you doing?? > < we're going to be late- y'know.. my first class is with Ms. Shinye! You know how scary she is if someone late for her class!" Baekhyun scoffs. I looked at him, he looked fine as he is, but why do I am worriying this much.. I just had a bad feeling since the nightmare and it's likely something bad will happen soon.

"Sehunn- seriously.." Baekhyun unpatiently gets up from his seat and pushes my back into the bedroom for me to get dressed, but then I grabbed his wrists..

"Baekhyun.. i.. I think we shouldn't go to school today.. I have a really bad feeling.."

Baekhyun looks at me weirdly before he sighed "Sehun.. I told you not to think too much about it.. it just a dream, it's not real.. you just taking this too much, you'll stressed yourself like this- and I don't want to see you this way.." he cupped my cheeks, then gives me a soft peck on my lips "trust me, nothing going to happen.. hurry and get ready, we need to get to the bus station or we'll miss the bus"

I sighed deeply and nodded, heading to the bedroom and changes into the formal shirt I always wore to school. I looked at myself at the mirror, trying to get myself calm down "nothing will happen..Bacon was right..it's a dream, it's not real..i shouldn't think too much.." I said to myself before grabbing my bag and going out.

"are you sure you going to go swimming today? Can't you postponed it to another day?" I frowns when I saw Baekhyun already in his swimming trunk, tighten his swimming globes and smiles cheesily.

"of course, I will practice for this whole week since the competition is near, remember? Look, my team has waited for me..i can't just dodged them away.." Baekhyun said as he points at his team members, who have waited infront of the start line, chatting to each other.

"but-"

My words is cut by the younger boy when he put his finger on my mouth "Ssh.. Sehunie..please, don't worry too much, don't think too much.. I know you're worried about me, but look.. what could possibly happen? i'm glad that you're worrying me but I don't want it haunts your mind everytime I about to do something or going somewhere, I don't want to see you stressed out like this, baby"

He looked at me with a wide smile. I finally decided to let him go and not following my weird feelings anymore. I don't want to give myself more preasure and ended up preasuring him as well.

"alright.. but we're going home together , okay?" I said. Baekhyun grins then softly pinch my cheek "of course~ I'll call you once I'm done with my practice, you still have a class left right? Just go for now and wait for my call"

I nodded "arasseo... but remember to be careful, Baekhyunie.."

"I know I know~ you'll mess your lecture if you kept on worrying, just think of exciting things okay? I'll see you later"

He runs towards his friends after waving me goodbye. I waved him back and turn my back and get into my class with a smile on my face. Well.. I just can't help but smile when I saw his cute face.

"Sehun, stop thinking too much..you look like an idiot" I sighed before leaving the pool area.

-Baekhyun's pov-

"Baekhyunaa~ are you sure you're not going back with us?" one of my teammate asked as I climb up from the pool. I wrapped myself in towel then shakes my head "no~ I have an appointment today, you guys just go ahead, I'll wash myself for a bit" I answered.

"arasseo~ see you tomorrow Baekhyun-ah"

I waved at them as they leave the area one by one, then I stepped into the bathroom, drying myself with towel before I enter the shower area. I hang my towel on the side , before turning on the shower. I let the cold water pouring on me as I close my eyes and rakes my bangs behind "this is it" I mumbles.

Honestly my mind feels complicated right now. I can't stop thinking about Sehun, I'm not even able to concentrated on my practice and kept making mistakes. Sehun is extremely weird today, he never worried about me this much but today he seems just worrying all the time. What could possibly happen? I just don't understand what he's thinking.. It seems he knew that something might happen, but if he said it's because of the nightmare.. how do he expect me to believe it?

Kriett-

I can hear the door open from my back.

"well..well.. look who's here"

My eyes widen as a familiar voice came behind me. I turned the shower off and turned around, I furrowed my brows and my smile immediately turns into a frown.

"what are you doing here?" I coldly ask.

The person shakes his head, an arrogant smile was on his face "well.. I was just checking on the cute boy whom seonsaengnim loves so much~ how are you doing? I see you still sticking around sehun, hm? Why haven't you give up yet?"

"I'm his boyfriend, hyung! I love him and you know that, I will always sticking with him although you try to separate us. And how dare you show your face infront of me after what you have did, Suho-hyung. You're lucky enough that I didn't beat you up that day" I scoffs and immediately grabbed my towel , walking away from him and steps out of the bathroom.

"not that fast- kid" Suho suddenly grabbed my wrist, holding me tight enough for me to feel the pain "it will not last any longer, because I .. will destroy that relationship of yours, and also you.. Byun baekhyun"

"F-f*ck! It's hurt hyung- let go-AH!" I groaned when he suddenly punches me on my stomach, then he throws me inside the bathroom without any mercy. I didn't get to dodge his sudden attack and makes my body felt the extreme pain.

Suho grabbed me once again, this time on my hair. I whimper in pain, but it only makes him smirk even more "I will make you disappear , Byun Baekhyun..no matter how it takes, that's what you get for getting in my way. You will never be happy" Suho hissed on my ears before he punches me hard once again on my face.

My vision began to blur, I started to lose consciousness due to the hard punches that landed on my face and body. But before I completely faint, I can see Suho is getting out of the bathroom, and I can hear the locking voice from outside. I panted hard, grabbing my own chest. My mouth is parted and trying to catch my own breath, I feel my chest got tightened and I cannot breath.

"h-help...sehun.."

Is the last words I said before I lose my consciousness.

-Sehun's pov-

"urrgg-"

I stretched my arms as soon as the last class for today is over. My brain feels exhausted for some reasons, and I don't know why. I never be this exhausted when I was teaching but I can't stop thinking about the nightmare and Baekhyun. I never got such a nightmare before, but this one just makes me scared, and i can't stop thinking about it. I just can't imagine if the nightmare becomes real, and I have to lose Baekhyun. It haunts my mind every single second.

"why hasn't he call yet? He supposed to finish already.." I sighed as I look at my phone, scrolling through the call log to see if there's any miscall from Baekhyun but there's none. He doesn't usually take this long to practice and usually he'll call me right away after he finish. But..

"Baekhyun..you're okay..right?" I mumbles to myself.

When I stepped into the office, I was confused with the situation there. The teachers seems panicking and few of them are in call. I go to my seat and ask teacher nana who sit besides me.

"Teacher na, is there something happen? why do they seem so busy?" I asked.

Teacher nana nodded her head "yeah- one of our student was found fainted inside the swimming pool's bathroom, his body already turned blue and he's not breathing. It seems like the door was locked from outside and he can't find the way out, and he faints because of the cold, but according to the doctor, he's still alive but he's not conscious, that's why we're waiting for the ambulance now to take him to hospital"

My eyes widen hearing her explanation, my lips slightly apart but my tongue is stiff.

"W-who.. is that student..?"

"he's in your class, Byun Baekhyun , the transfer student"

To be continued.
