Could it be him?

a dream?

With a warm smile, he speaks, "thanks, Leah. I don't know what to say right now. I'm just so elated. I can't believe I'm a dad of two now. I guess I've found my world." Suho said to me.

-------------------------------------

"He would have never said that!" Lia shouts interrupting Leah and causing the courtroom to look in her direction. "Order in my court!" the judge says. Prosecutor Lee Hi walks up to Leah and speaks, "enough of your story Leah. Now answer my questions."

"Did you kill Kim Kai?" Lee Hi asks bluntly. Shaking her head, Leah denies it. Lee Hi was tired of asking the same question multiple times.

Attorney Woo Young Woo stood and walked up to the judge, where the curious crowd behind her could also listen in. "My client has been seen holding a knife over the dead body of Kai." She paused to look at Leah and then continued even louder. "Although she is innocent." The crowd behind her gasped.

"Your honor, my client has been blamed for killing Zhang Yixing, Kim Suho, Park Chanyeol, Kim Chen, Do Kyungsoo, and Oh Sehun. But may I ask on what grounds? All the evidence produced is only circumstantial evidence. None of them particularly point at Leah."

Looking at Leah, Woo Young Woo continues, "Kim Leah, you were at Kim Kai's office room when he was found dead. Right?" Leah nods.

"...and the person who came inside the room, saw you holding a knife, do you agree?" Leah nods one more time. -----"So your honor the witness only saw her holding the knife. Not stabbing Kim Kai. This is because Leah never did. Leah never killed Kim Kai."

The prosecutor rose from her position and stood up straight, saying, "I call the witness to the stands." Baekhyun stands up and looks at me in pain.

"Byun Baekhyun, it was you who saw Kim Leah with the knife in Kim Kai's cabin. Were you aware that your girlfriend had such a thought-"

"Objection your honor. Leading." Woo Young Woo says with furrowed eyebrows. Looking at Baekhyun stand clueless, the judge says, "sustained."

As my tears blurred my vision, I wipe my tears and look at Baekhyun. ————————————Picking the call after a long bath, I hear attorney Woo Young Woo speak, "congratulations on winning the trial. I ho-" I cut the call. What was the use of winning it? People still think I killed my dear ones. I will always miss them. Chen and his bright smile, Suho playing with his twins, Lay and his "annyonghaseyo", Kyungsoo for his annoying yet fulfilling personality, and Chanyeol and his love for me.

Everything seemed like a dream. The happiness, the memories, and the laughs I shared with them. And it also seems like I was being woken up from a sweet dream, waking into a nightmare and seeing all my loved ones dead. I only had Baekhyun but at the same time, it felt like I didn't have him.

I flinch hearing the doorbell ring. Taking a deep breath I lift myself from the floor with great difficulty. Before I could open the door, I hear someone click it open and footsteps nearing me, I see Baekhyun stare into my red eyes. Without waiting for a second, he dropped his bag and hugged me.

I was three months pregnant now. Baekhyun was everything to me, but seeing him sitting next to the prosecutor against me, broke me. "want to celebrate tonight?" he asks. chuckling, I nod my head and break the hug.

Opening the Jajjangmyeon bowl, I dig in and fill my mouth with the noodles. This time, eating was not hard, it never felt burdensome. I had to eat and I wanted to eat, if not for myself at least for my baby. I hear loud thuds from the locked room upstairs. I look at Baekhyun expectantly. "Nothing much, I guess some tools fell,' he answers. But I know what it is..... it's Xiumin upstairs.
