No Limits

Part 7

It had only been a couple of days since Baekhyun turned you down, and yet it had already taken its toll on you. Not only were you lonely, but you were distracted, and your training was suffering because of it. Jongin was irritated, Jongdae was annoyed, Yixing was patient, but you knew you had to get it together. This is why when Jongin offered to do an extra session with you, you jumped on the opportunity.

So far, your day was pretty decent... until it wasn't. Jongin had come to your room a little early, and the two of you were heading down to the training room when you heard it.

Giggling.

Coming from Baekhyun's room.

A sick feeling blooms in your stomach at the grating sound, and you want to run and hide when Baekhyun's door suddenly opens, but your feet are rooted to the carpet.

Two girls, wearing scantily clad clothing, come out of his room with him trailing closely behind. You couldn't pull your eyes away from the trainwreck as you watch the girls rub their hands all over his chest and arms.

The giggling continues, and you have to pull your eyes away from the sight. It's only a second later when Jongin speaks up from next to you, causing Baekhyun to finally notice your presence.

When Baekhyun meets your stare, a panicked look enters his gaze, and that's when you feel the hope in you die. Any energy you once had escapes you and the sickness you felt turns into full-blown nausea.

You don't even realize you're shaking until Jongin quietly says your name in a concerned voice, semi snapping you out of the destroyed feeling your body was falling into.

He didn't have to be so cruel. He didn't have to bring those girls here and drive the point that the two of you couldn't be together home. You couldn't believe that Baekhyun had it in him to do something like this. Not him. Not to you.

Before you know what you're doing, your feet are moving at a rapid pace and you're slipping in between the wall and the three people who managed to break your heart in seconds. You could hear Baekhyun calling out to you, hear the desperation in his voice, but you ignore it. You ignore his footsteps as he attempts to come after you and ignore the relief you feel when you hear Jongin physically stop him from doing that.

You keep running and don't stop until you reach the training room and collapse on the blue mat. You try to focus on your erratic breathing and repeat the mantra "I am not going to fucking cry right now" over and over until you feel yourself calm down.

A few minutes later, Jongin busts into the training room and immediately tries to talk to you about what he had just witnessed. He takes in your overwhelmed state before kneeling next to you on the mat.

"Are you okay?" He asks, his bewildered gaze searching yours.

You push yourself up into a sitting position, instead of the near fetal position you were in, and say, "I'm fine."

"Bullshit. What the hell just happened?"

Jongin knew you had some type of feelings for Baekhyun, but you had never told him the extent of those feelings or that Baekhyun had dumped you before the two of you even got together, so you could only imagine what he was thinking right now.

"I don't want to talk about it." You mumble as you stand up, but Jongin stands right up with you, not willing to let it go just yet.

"Oh, we're definitely going to talk about it. You just lost your shit, and I need to know why."

"Jongin, please! I can't talk about it right now. I just want to train. I need to train."

He searches your face in frustration, his expression telling you he still wanted to have this conversation, before sighing and shaking his head. "Fine. I'll let it go for now, but don't think we won't be revisiting this topic. Just let me know if I need to kill Baekhyun."
