Fatal Attractions | Byun Baekhyun (EXO)

Chapter 6

It's 9pm when Junmyeon finally landed back in Manila. Agad naman syang dumeretso sa isang hotel sa BGC na malapit sa hospital where Baekhyun's father is confined. Naging mabilis naman ang byahe dahil wala masyadong traffic, which is a bit unusual for him.

After checking in, and settling in to his hotel suite, agad naman nyang tinawagan si Baekhyun.

"Baek, go."

With that, alam na agad ni Baekhyun ang ibig sabihin ni Junmyeon. Kaya naman he immediately rushed into the hospital, barging in to Chanyeol's clinic.

"Yeol."

Napatingin naman agad si Chanyeol upon hearing his name when the door opened.

"Baek?"

Baekhyun let himself in sa clinic ni Chanyeol, and locked the door.

"What the heck are you doing here?" Chanyeol asked. "Alam ba ni Junmyeon na andito ka?"

Sasagot na sana si Baekhyun when Chanyeol's phone started to ring. Pagkatingin nya, si Junmyeon ang caller. He looked at Baekhyun before finally answering the ringing phone.

"Myeon?"

"Is Baek there?"

"Yeah, here in my office." Sagot naman ni Chanyeol. "Alam mo ba ito?"

"Yeah. I'll explain later when I get there." Sagot naman ni Junmyeon. "He can move now, Yeol. Let him see Tito."

"Okay, got it."

As the call ended, tinignan muli ni Chanyeol si Baekhyun.

"Do you want your old coat?" Chanyeol asked. "I have the passcode of your office."

"Okay." Baekhyun nodded. "I think mas safe na I'd blend in."

Lumabas sila ng clinic ni Chanyeol, and they headed into Baekhyun's office. As they walk papunta sa office ni Baekhyun na nasa higher floor ng hospital, he felt like he is walking down a memory lane. 

You see, sa hospital na ito umikot ang buhay ni Baekhyun. He always wanted to be a surgeon since he was a kid, and his parents are very supportive of him with this. Kung wala sila sa dark side ng business, Baekhyun is sure na pagiging surgeon nya ibubuhos ang buong buhay nya.

The finally arrived at the door of his office, Baekhyun hears the beeping sounds of the number pad as Chanyeol presses the buttons. The door finally opened, at muling nasilyan ni Baekhyun ang opisina na matagal nyang hindi napuntahan, with that, hindi nya mapigilan ang bahagyang mapangiti.

Naunang pumasok si Baekhyun, and sumunod naman si Chanyeol. Baekhyun looked around his office, walang nagbago. Still that minimalistic interiors, kung papano nya ito huling nakita, ganun pa din ngayon.

The wall behind his desk shows his diplomas, a few trophies, awards. There's also a few picture frames. Their family photo, a photo of him with Chanyeol before he left to the US to study in Harvard Medical School, a photo of him with Junmyeon when they had a house party after his graduation, a photo of him with Chanyeol and Junmyeon nung mga bata pa sila.

Indeed a memory lane for Baekhyun, pakiramdam nya nabuhay ulit sya. Hiding for quite a long time made him feel like he's dead. Wala syang ibang magawa kung hindi sumunod sa kung ano ang sabihin ni Junmyeon, dahil na din sa utos ng Dad nya before all the tragedies happened.

Ngayon na lang nya ulit naramdaman na may dugo sya, that he is alive, and he is ready to avenge his parents. Now more than ever.

"Thanks for keeping my office clean." Baekhyun turns to Chanyeol.

"Just in case na bumalik ka." Chanyeol says. "I know you would."

Baekhyun walked to the closet where he usually keeps his coats, and other doctoral stuff. He pulled out his coat, one of the things he missed wearing.
