Hold Me Tight (BaekYeon FanFic)

chapter 5 - fearless

BAEKHYUN

"taeyeon, I'm leaving now. thank you for letting me stay here."

"no worries! be careful."

"i will." i stepped outside her apartment's door and waved my hand. she did the same.

I'm heading home, carrying my backpack. i was waiting for the red traffic light turn to green and i saw an old lady which is on her 70's. i walked towards to her to help her to carry her belongings.

"ahjumma, let me help you with it." she was smiling at me and i took her belongings and carried it. the traffic light turned to green and we happily walked together. i was helping her walk because she's too old and was weak.

"thank you young man. you are truly an angel." i bowed to her and smiled. she patted my head and she just walked by herself carrying her things.

I finally reached my apartment. I'm back with my old living now since I'm not staying at taeyeon's apartment anymore. i gotta fix my things for our project. should i ask yeonghee to meet with me? definitely baekhyun.

i dialed yeonghee's number and called her. good thing she answered it quickly.

"yeonghee, is it okay if we meet now? we need to finish our project."

"sure baekhyun. where will we meet?"

"I don't know. you decide."

"um. . . the starbucks near at the school? if that's okay with you."

"okay." i hanged up and changed my clothes.

i went to the starbucks near at our school. i sat on the seat and waited for yeonghee to come. it's already 3:46 PM but she isn't here yet. should i call her again? i was about to call her again but suddenly the door of the starbucks opened. the next thing i saw is yeonghee, wearing a black and pink floral dress and a black shoes from vans which fits to her exactly. she's really a fashionable girl.

"um. . . sorry baekhyun. there was a really huge traffic."

"gwenchana, you look so. . ." i looked from her head to toe. ". . .beautiful."

"did i heard it right? you just said "I'm beautiful"."

"y-yeah. you look beautiful yeonghee. now, let's start."

"should we order first?"

"oh yes!"

i stood up and ordered two cappuccinos for the both of us. I went back to yeonghee and prepared all things we needed.

"here it is."

"um. . . where should we start?"

"let's start with. . . this." i handed her the thing which is the first thing we need to do our project.

fast forward. . .

"kyah it's done!" she exclaimed like a child.

"we did a great job!" we stood up from our seats and i was shocked by her sudden action. she hugged me so tight, never letting me go.

"uh-um. . . sorry." she suddenly broke the hug and i just nodded for a response.

"it's kinda dark now. i should take you to your house." I offered.

"if that's what you want, okay then."

we exited the starbucks and we went to the bus station. while waiting for the bus to arrive we just talked about things and about our lives.

the bus arrived and we hopped on it. the seats are not all occupied so we sat on one of it. while waiting, i took my phone and listened to music. i took a peek on yeonghee and she's just admiring the pretty lights of seoul. i can feel she's bored so i handed her one of my earphones and plugged it to her right ear. i have no idea what genres of music she likes so i just pressed the shuffle button. we sometimes sang together because we both know the lyrics of that song but sometimes not. after listening to the songs, the bus made a beep sound which signals us that we're here already. yeonghee's hometown.

"let's go baekhyun, we've arrived." she said and i just followed her.

we walked until we reach her house. it's really dark now, how am i suppose to get home now? dumbo baekhyun. why did you offered her to take her to her house on the first place? I'm out of my mind, really.

"mom we're here!" yeonghee shouted then she unlocked the lock of their gate.

"we're? what do you mean by we're?" her mom asked.

"i have a friend with me. he's right here!" she then pointed at me and i just bowed. her mom bowed at me too.

"good evening mrs. ji. I'm byun baekhyun."

"oh, what a nice lovely young man. is she your boyfriend, yeonghee?" we both shooked our heads as we both deny it.

"ani! my project partner, eomma." yeonghee said. i can feel she's embarrassed because of her mother. "baekhyun, you should really go now. it's dark and it's dangerous. be careful."

"a-ah yes. bye mrs. ji and bye yeonghee." i waved at them they did the same.

it's so dark here and i checked my phone. it's already 9:43 PM, I'm already sleepy. my tardiness is already showing, I'm exhausted and tired. i was on my way to the waiting shed and i bumped into someone. i told you already, I'm exhausted.

"yah! how can someone foolish bump into an elegant person?" the guy said infront of me. foolish huh? you? an elegant guy?

"sorry. i was tired, i can't think right." i said sincerely. i bowed at him and after that, i saw a bunch of guys who were going to our side. they're like a gang or a squad?

"hyung, what happened?" the small guy said.

"that!" the "elegant" guy pointed at me. I didn't care. "he bumped me." i just bumped him and he's angry like crazy?

"how could a foolish bump into an elegant person?" the other guy said. stop with that elegant thingy please.

"foolish huh? what do i need to do so you can accept my "sorry"?" i said fearless. i ignored them and took two steps away from them.

i thought i was doing well but I'm wrong. someone hitted me with a baseball bat in my back. i think my back bone's broken. after hitting me with a bat, soemone grabbed my collar and punched me on my left cheek. i suddenly lost my mind and became unconscious. they continued punching and hitting me with the baseball bat and they seem to be very tired now. they left me like that, lying on the ground unconscious. I didn't begged them to stop punching me and i already proved them that I'm fearless. those guys really, they really don't have respect nor a good attitude towards elders. i have no choice but to stand up and move by myself. i felt my whole body ached and can't even say like a single word.

while walking towards to the waiting shed, many eyes was attracted to me. they must've noticed my bruises and scars. i just ignored them and went on my way.

my whole body hurts i think I'm gonna cry now. I showered and eased the pain even though it really hurts. well that's what you get byun baekhyun. after talking a shower, I applied ointment and alcohol to my bruises and scars so it will get better.

finally, I'm going to sleep now.

what will happen tomorrow?
