We Fight To Protect

Chapter 10

"I-I don't understand what's going on," Wooyoung cried. He was just sitting in his apartment watching TV when three men broke the door down and attacked him. He thought he was going to die but then San came running out of nowhere and saved him. He thought he was seeing things when he saw a sword of blue light but then it went through one of the men's legs and he realised it wasn't just his imagination. And then there were San's eyes, those pale blue, glowing eyes that met his. He was terrified that those men were going to kill him but the minute San got there he felt safe, like with San there, he wouldn't be harmed. He knew what San did, whatever it was, he should be scared of it but he's not. He has no idea how it was possible but it clearly was because it happened. But it was still San, still the same person who cried his heart out to him last night and cuddled with him this morning. It was just San.

"I'm sorry," San said softly.

"Stop saying that, I know you're sorry. I just want to know what's going on," Wooyoung said.

"M'sorry," San whispered. Wooyoung frowned at San's voice, confused as to why he was repeating the same thing.

"So, sorry," San said before his eyes slowly slipped closed and he fell against Wooyoung. Wooyoung cried out in surprise but caught San quickly, lowering them both down to the ground so San wouldn't get more hurt. Wooyoung thought back to the man smashing the vase on San's head and he glanced at it, seeing the blood trailing down his head. Wooyoung ran his eyes over his entire frame and noticed a few cuts and bruises and he realised something must've happened to San before he got there. He must've been attacked as well and then come to find him because he knew he was in trouble. Wooyoung held San's limp form in his arms and looked around the room, seeing the destruction and the men scattered on the floor. He needs to get out of here in case more people come and he needs to get San away. He quickly grabbed out his phone and dialled Yeonjun's number. He needs help, he just hopes Yeonjun will answer despite being at work. It rung for a while before going to voicemail. Wooyoung groaned and his eyes welled up with tears but he waited for the beep.

"Junnie uh, something, something happened. Some men broke into the apartment not long ago and tried to take stuff. San was there so everything is ok but it's best not to go back to the apartment for now so stay with Soobin. I'm um, I'm safe, just a little rattled so no need to worry. I love you," Wooyoung said shakily before hanging up. He then pulled up Kai's contact and pretty much sent him a text about the same thing. He would never call the younger boy and get him to come to the apartment, he's not going to risk it with Kai. Instead he dialled Seonghwa's number, knowing he is the most likely to answer. He waited as it rung, tears starting to fall down his face once again as the reality of what had happened and could have happened sunk in more.

"Hey Wooyoungie, what's up." Wooyoung let out a choked sob at the sound of Seonghwa's voice.

"Wooyoung? Wooyoung, what's wrong? Are you hurt," Seonghwa asked instantly, concern filling his voice.

"I-I need help," Wooyoung whimpered.

"Where are you? Tell me where you are and I can come help you. Can you tell me what's going on? Are you safe," Seonghwa asked frantically.

"I-I'm safe, f-for now," Wooyoung said with a sniffle.

"What happened Youngie, where are you? I'm worried for you right now," Seonghwa said, his voice sounding shaky. Wooyoung drew in a deep breath to try and calm down, running his fingers lightly through San's hair, noticing a slight lump. He needs to get him out of there as soon as he can.

"I was in my apartment and these men, they broke in. I don't, I don't know what they wanted but they grabbed me and they pinned me down," Wooyoung said, cutting off as he let out a sob, clutching closer to San.
