Once A Park : Cry For Love

Battered

Baekhyun have been restless since Chanyeol's friends left to followed his husband. Minseok stayed with him for awhile but he begged him to go home and rest. He knows how exhausted his friend is after all that happened today not to mention he traveled from Australia just to be with him today.

" Minmin, please go home now. You need to rest. " Baekhyun said while trying to calms himself.

" Baek, I'm sorry if I lost my cool, it just I can't take it anymore how you have been hurting because of that man. " Minseok is still mad but seeing Baekhyun worried and tired, he chose not to add on his friend's burden.

" You don't need to say sorry. I'm the one who need to apologize for keeping this things to myself. It just I feel ashamed of what I did because of love." Baekhyun said in a low voice, he closes his eyes trying to stop his tears that threatens to come out again. He never felt so pathetic until tonight. But even though how much he felt sorry for himself, his love for Chanyeol weighed more. He glanced at his phone waiting for any news from Junmyeon if they found his husband.

" Baek, we are your friends. Me, Dae and Lulu. You don't need to suffer alone. We will always be here for you no matter what. You are precious to us and to your mother, please stop doing this to yourself. Get away from that man." Minseok's voice sounds almost like he is begging. Baekhyun blinks his tears and looks straight to his friend's eyes.

" I love him so much that I don't know how to live without him. I will stay Min, no matter how it will hurts or ruined me. If this is the price that I have to pay for being his husband, I will take it. I will take it all until nothing is left for me. " Baekhyun said in low but determined voice. Minseok closes his eyes in frustrations but he knows he can't do anything for now. He doesn't know how to help his friend out of his own miseries.

" Go now. I'll be fine. Please don't mention this to Dae and Han. They don't have to know. " Baekhyun doesn't want to worry Jongdae specially now he is recovering and he is a bit afraid of how Luhan will react to this knowing how protective he is of him. Luhan might look gentle because of his beautiful face but he is more scarier if you knew him personally. " I'm begging Minseok. Just let me be." Baekhyun hold Minseok's hand and squeezed it.

" You beg too much tonight, Baek." He doesn't want to be sarcastic but Minseok is frustrated, tired and mad. Baekhyun is helpless. " I need to go back in the morning to Australia. But how can I leave you now?"

" Just go, Min. I'll get through this. You've done enough for me today. Be with Dae, he needs you there. " Baekhyun hugged Minseok hoping somehow he gave his friend some assurance.

" If everything became too much for you to handle by yourself, don't hesitate to call us. Promise me, Baek. That's the only assurance that I need right now. "

" I promised. " And they hugged again

Chanyeol came home drunk. Kris tried to take him home but Chanyeol was too stubborn and mad to listens to his friend. He opened the door and saw Baekhyun sitting in the sofa, hugging his knees while crying.

" Yeol! " Baekhyun stood up and rushed to his husband. " Did you drive? " He can tell how drunk Chanyeol was.

" You! Stop ruining my life! Stop confusing me!" Chanyeol's words were slurred that what only Baekhyun understands was he ruined Chanyeol's life.

Baekhyun tried to help him but Chanyeol pushed him away. Baekhyun fell on the floor. " Get away from me! "

Baekhyun stood up from the floor and tried to help his husband again. " I will just helped you to your room, Yeol. " He tried to ignored the searing pain on his wrist that he fell into when Chanyeol pushed him.

" You really want me this bad, huh? " Chanyeol eyes suddenly looked sober and dark, giving Baekhyun chills down on his spine. " Tonight, I will make you regret marrying me!" Chanyeol dragged Baekhyun's small frame upstairs to his room. He did him too harshly and hard that Baekhyun whimpered in pain. But there's no stopping Chanyeol and his rage. All the frustrations and confusions he's been battling for years of being married to Baekhyun, he's lashing it tonight and Baekhyun just accepted all of it. His thin body was now marked with bruises and bite marks. Lips and ass bleeding that blended with tears and sweat. But he never complained. He never told Chanyeol to stop. If Chanyeol will kill him tonight he will appreciate it more. He is tired. He doesn't even know if he can feel anything anymore. He feel numb while his tears keeps streaming on his beautiful face.

Chanyeol went down to his high and stare at the man underneath him. Baekhyun looked at him with eyes that though full of tears, it was void with any emotions. His eyes traveled to Baekhyun's lips that bleeding from his angry kisses down to his smooth white neck that now marked with his teeth and some of it has a bit of a blood too. Suddenly Chanyeol feel horrified.

Shit!

He let his body fell besides Baekhyun and put his arm in his eyes. He will just pretend to be sleeping like what he always do every time he finishes with Baekhyun and will wait for the smaller to leave his room.

It took awhile for Baekhyun to sit down on the bed, his whole body is wrecked that he feel he needs to crawl out of the room. He glanced at Chanyeol who is pretending to be asleep with his fake soft snores. Baekhyun pull up the blanket and covers his husband's naked body. He watched Chanyeol's breathing became even as seconds passes by.

" Just give me a little time, Yeol. When I'm ready to let go of my love for you, I will leave, so you can choose whoever will make you happy. But now, I will continue to be selfish. You can hate me as long as I love you. You can hurt me as much as you want, but I'm not letting you go, Yeol. Not yet. " Baekhyun planted a light kiss in Chanyeol's hair and dragged his self out of bed. He fell a couple of times on the floor before he can even reached the door because of the shooting pains he feels all over his battered body but it's nothing compared to the wrenching pain he is currently feeling in his heart.

Why it hurts so much to love you, Yeol?
