Killers: Taeyeon

Taeyeon: 15

"Chanyeol..." I said, and he went closer to me. "WHO IS HE!?" I saw him grab Baekhyun's arm, and when Baekhyun turned to look at him, I saw surprise in his eyes. "Y-you!?"

"Yes. It's me, Chanyeol." Baekhyun said.

"It doesn't matter!" Chanyeol blurted out, then grabbed my wrist. "You're coming with me!"

He dragged me to his car, and he put me on the front seat. I couldn't even look at him, not after what I did. I cheated on him, and I feel like I'm a terrible person because of it! He's driving way too fast, and here I am, feeling so useless. I couldn't even look at him, and I swear I am so drained right now.

"How long have you been cheating on me?" His voice is soothing, but it feels like his words stabbed me a million times.

"Chanyeol..." I called, but I could feel my throat hurt.

"Taeyeon. I loved you, but why are you doing this to me!?"  He said and held my arms. "What have I done to deserve this?"

"I'm sorry..." And when I looked at him, I saw tears fall from his eyes. I felt dizzy, and so I felt my body just give up and black out.

I opened my eyes only to see Tiffany and Seohyun sitting on the couch near the bed I'm lying. Seohyun must have noticed my movement, so she quickly got up and went to my side. I looked around, hoping I'd see Chanyeol, but he's nowhere to be found. Instead, I saw Baekhyun's face with bruises. What happened to him?

"Are you okay now?" He quickly asked.

"What happened to you?" I asked him hysterically.

He looked away. "It's nothing."

Of course it's not just nothing! I have an idea on what happened, but I don't want to accuse Chanyeol. He's not like that. Out of all people, I know he's rational. And I think I am more capable of beating up just about anyone, but I am almost sure it's not him. No, I know it's not him. Why am I doubting him in the first place, anyway?

"Shouldn't we be asking you that?" Tiffany inserted. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm good." I lied. I'm not okay, I'm not good. I feel dizzy, and mostly guilty. How could I do that to a person who was nothing but nice to me? Was I crazy?

"We'll watch over you until you get better." Seohyun said and smiled at me. I looked around the room, and I noticed the food on the bedside table. Seohyun must've noticed, so she answered the question in my head. "Chanyeol bought that before going back to his office."

I just nodded. "I see."

I asked for my phone, and when I got it, I saw an unread message from Chanyeol. I quickly pressed it open, and read his message.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you. But I don't think I want to see you anymore. Thanks for the memories, and bye."

Why do I feel this way? Or rather, why am I not feeling anything but pity? Why am I not hurting? Am I that heartless, that I don't even feel pain because of his last message? Am I being stupid? There's this hollow feeling, and I don't know what it is. I looked at Baekhyun, who is now cutting some apples. I felt my heart hurt seeing him like that. Wait, what?

"Are you okay?" He said and went to my side. "You want me to call a nurse?"

"No, I'm fine." I said and sat up. He helped me, and for the first time, I could feel the heat coming from him. Am I going crazy? Of course there's gonna be heat since he's alive. Pull your shit together, Taeyeon!

"Are you sure?" He said and looked at me closely. "You look a little red."

"Must be from lying for a long time." I said and smiled at him. I hope he buys it, though.

"Okay..." I saw him nod, and hesitantly left my side.

"Seo..." I called for Seohyun, and she quickly went to my side. "Where's my dad?"

"Uhm... I think he's in a business trip. But he called today and asked us if we could watch over you." She said, and I nodded. She patted my shoulders. Well, at least my dad still cares about me, right? "Do you wanna eat anything?"

"Donuts." I said, and she just nodded. "I'll have some delivered here." She quickly took out her phone to call someone.

After a few minutes, I heard a knock on the door, and someone came inside with a box of donuts in hand. I thanked him, and he just flashed the cutest smile ever. Seohyun excused herself before going out with the guy that delivered the donuts. I just shook my head and smiled. Tiffany came to my side and smiled at me.

"I have to go. The office needs me." She said and patted my shoulder. "I'll come back as soon as I can."

"No rush, Tiff." I said and she smiled at me sweetly. "Baek, I'll leave her to you."

"Okay." Baekhyun replied, and she walked out the room.

I opened the donuts and started eating the honey glazed one. This is my favorite flavor! Seohyun must've been specific about it since I can only see my favorites. I heard the door open, then Seohyun went inside with the man that brought my donuts. I looked at him, my eyes full of curiosity, but I guess Seohyun already knew what's going on in my head.

"Taeyeon..." She started speaking. "I'd like you to meet Kyuhyun."

"Ahhh, Kyuhyun. The one at the bar." I said, now I remember.

"Yes." She smiled at me and walked closer. "I have to tell you something important."

"What is it?"

"Kyuhyun and I..." She paused and glanced at Kyuhyun, then smiled at me. "Are getting married this year."

"WHAT!?" I yelled. "How..."

"I know you only know him just now... But I swear, we've been together for a very long time." She tried to calm me down, and luckily, I did. "We have your support, right?"

"Yes, of course..." I said and smiled at them. "But what about your mom? And Kris?"

"They can't do anything about it. This is my life." She said and held my hand. "Promise me you'll be there?"

"I promise." I said, and she hugged me tightly.

"Did you tell Tiffany?" I asked her, and I heard her sigh.

"Yeah. She's a bit mad about it." I looked at Kyuhyun, who is still standing there. "But..." She let go of me and stared into my eyes. "She'll come around, right?"

"Of course." I assured her. "You know Tiffany."
