❝Because I still love you❞

1

Gosh, why does everyone had to be busy today!?

That was the only thought going through Chenle's head as he was waiting at the bus stop, at 1 am. Yeah, the boy was really clueless to not know that the bus isn't available at that time.

Rich kid things, I guess.

The Chinese boy had a lot more work at the office that day, perks of being a CEO at an early age, and only got the chance to leave at 12:30 am. And coincidentally, his driver was out of city too.

And asking his husband was impossible.

❝Shit, I don't think that the bus will come anymore,❞ Chenle mumbled to himself after 10 minutes of waiting, bitting his lower lip as fear starts to crawl into him.

The boy had never been this late outside the house, at least not alone with no transport. His driver wasn't here, the bus timings already ended and his phone was out of battery for calling a cab or a friend.

So the only way to reach home was through walking. And the boy was hella scared.

No one was on the street, except for a few cars passing by. Then instead just being a coward and staying there for God knows how long, he decided to take a shortcut to his home, or house cause his home was no where near him; or maybe he just didn't know how close he was.

He then continued to walk, and came into an alley without realising it. He continued to walk while being alert towards his surroundings, when he saw two men standing there, smoking and laughing while talking to eachother.

Chenle froze there and didn't know what do to. He was okay with giving his belongings and money to them, but you never know if their intentions weren't extended.

So he made the decision to enter in a nearby store or something, he remembered seeing one on his way. But just as he turned around to walk back, he was met with the two men.

Just how lost was I to not notice them move!?

Chenle again froze in his place, and then started moving backwards, and tried to run away but one of the men pulled him backwards and pushed him into the hard brick wall, making the young married boy let a hiss at the harsh pull.

❝Let's see what we have here,❞ the one who pulled him said as his eyes basically undressed the poor boy, who was shivering in fear and salty tears welled up in his brown orbs.

❝A meal with money? I guess it's our lucky day today!❞ other one said as he laughed at the miserable state of the boy, as the Chinese male continued to think of any way to escape, but it looked like there's nothing he could do to escape this situation.

The strength of two men was unmatchable to him, including the fact that he couldn't fight. And he can't even use his phone to call anyone.

So he decided to just accept his faith, and closed his eyes and let the glassy tears fall onto his cheeks.

The men then started throwing punches at the already weak boy. The pain from the beating was enough for the boy to lose all of his remaining strength to fight back, and that made the boy fall weakly on the rough ground.

Just when one of the two men started taking off Chenle's blazer, while the other was counting the cash, someone pulled him off the Chinese male and harshly threw him onto the bricky ground.

The Chinese male was too devastated to say anything or even look at his saviour, he just pulled his knees towards his chest, wrapping his arms around it, and burying his head to sob into his knees.

The noises of punches, groaning and sobbing filled the alley as the anonymous boy fought one man with difficulty, the other ran off after seeing what is happening, when the man took out his pocketknife and tried to stab the fighting boy but he saw the move and wrapped his hand around the blade, trying his best to disarm the man, as the blade sliced through his palm and blood started dripping on the ground.
