Killers: Taeyeon

Taeyeon: 17

I sipped on my iced coffee while waiting for Baekhyun to arrive. I texted him. I said I wanted to meet up. Why is Jeong-su trying to make me avoid him? And he knows Chanyeol? What's the connection between them, anyway? I am obviously confused, and I need answers. I know Chanyeol won't talk to me, so I'd rather ask Baekhyun directly.

"Taeyeon!" I heard someone call my name. I looked behind and saw Baekhyun's wide smile greeting me warmly.

"Baekhyun..." I said. I took a deep breath. This is madness. Why am I a bit happy to see him?

"Hi." He said and the waiter took his order. He's wearing a dark blue shirt and khaki shorts. I could also see his muscles forming a little bit. I could also see his chest... But I'm not here to praise him nor pay any attention to his appearance. What I want to know is more important right now. "You look good today." He flashed his charming smile.

"Thanks." Taeyeon. Don't be out of focus. You know why you're here. "There's something I wanted to ask you."

"Ah, sure." I was about to speak when the waiter placed his order on our table. He likes strawberry shortcake, huh.

I cleared my throat. "Anyway..." I said, and fortunately, I got his attention. "I was wondering about... some things." He looked at me while sipping on his iced coffee, caramel macchiato. I should stop noticing every little details about him. "Do you know Park Jeong-su?"

He was surprised. I saw it, but he quickly recovered from it. "Yes."

"And why does he dislike you?" I'm afraid of any answers that might come out of his mouth, but I need to know.

"I had a relationship with someone related to him." He said and smiled bitterly. "Why are you asking me this?"

I took a deep breath. "Because Jeong-su told me to avoid you."

He laughed. "Really?" He stopped laughing, but I think he still finds it funny. "And will you avoid me?"

"Only if I see a reason to." I said, and he turned serious. "I shouldn't avoid you, right?"

"I'm not..." He grunted. "I'm not a good person, Taeyeon."

"Nobody is a good person, Baekhyun." I said, staring into his eyes. "But I can trust you, right?"

"I don't think that's a very good idea." He said and leaned closer, causing me to move back. "Unless you tell me you love me."

"What!?" I wasn't expecting this. "W-what are you talking about?"

"Why are you stuttering?" He said and leaned closer. "Just tell me you love me, and I promise, you can trust me."

I bit my lower lip, not knowing what to do. He leaned forward, our faces are an inch away, and before I even knew it, he was kissing my lips. Not the hot, steamy kind of kiss. Just a smack, but it made an impact on me. I was surprised, so I quickly took my bag and got out of the coffee shop. I can't believe he kissed me! And more importantly, I can't believe I almost kissed him back!

-

I wanted to get drunk, so I drove to the nearest bar. I went to the bar counter and ordered for a bottle of beer. I drank it down as I tried washing away the image of Baekhyun in my head. Am I that easy to fall in love? But if it's true, then it will be easy for me to fall out of love, right? I mean, shouldn't be an issue. The only problem that I have now is how to tell my dad about Chanyeol and I.

I don't know how long I have been here, but the music is getting louder, and more people are coming in. I also finished a few more bottles than I hoped for, but that's okay. I won't kill the fun for myself. I looked around and saw Chanyeol... Wait what is he doing here? I'm not sure if it was him, so I followed him with my eyes, and I was surprised to see where he was going to.

They both went out of the club and I had to follow them. I was surprised to see Chanyeol smile at the person he was talking to. It broke my heart to see them together. I couldn't even move my feet. Why is he doing this? He leaned closer and they kissed. I am so mad. Are they toying with me? Why the fuck is he kissing her? And why is she still here?

I walked towards them, and I grabbed Chanyeol's shirt. He was surprised to see me. But more importantly, this bitch is still alive! How in the world did this happen? Why are they kissing? What's the meaning of this? All this time, I believed Hani died with my brother, but what is she doing here? She looks like she's doing so well!

I punched Chanyeol's face. "Care to explain this shit to me!?"

He smirked at me, then looked at Hani. "Should I tell this bitch what's going on?"

"No, I'll tell her." Hani said and smiled widely at me. "I kinda felt sad that your brother died... But I was determined not to die with him." I folded my arms and raised my brow at her. "I mean, sure. I can live in poverty. After all, that's where I came from. But dying early? It wasn't a good thing. So I left your brother's body in his car."

"You bitch!" I yelled and was about to grab her hair when I felt someone grab my hand. "Let go of me, fucker!"

"You think I'd let you hurt her?" Chanyeol laughed and let go of my hand. But I was surprised when he slapped me. "Wake up, stupid girl!"

"Why are you doing this!?" I asked them, not caring if they'd think I'm stupid or whatever.

"Because obviously, you make a good toy!" Hani exclaimed, making me want to take her eyes out. "But let me tell you a little secret." She grabbed my hair and leaned closer to my ear. "Heechul already knew about me and Chanyeol." She whispered. "But being the idiot that he was, he accepted me for who I am and told me to runaway with him."

I did not bother wiping the tears that streamed down my face. "And even your father knows I'm not dead!" What? "Oh, you didn't know?"

"No, her father hates her, too." Chanyeol smirked. "Can you imagine? He wanted her to marry me, and even named her future husband to be the inheritor of his wealth? How stupid!"

"Well, you should've been more careful, then." Hani said and smiled at me. "So, I guess we'll have to kill you." She said and I felt Chanyeol grab my waist. I couldn't even move, considering how tall he is, and how short I am. But he suddenly loosened his grip.

"YOU!" Hani started screaming, and I saw Baekhyun stab Chanyeol with a knife on his back. "TRAITOR!" Hani said and was about to kick Baekhyun's shin, but he jumped to dodge it. He just pushed Hani into the wall, making her lose her consciousness.

"Are you okay, Taeyeon?" Baekhyun asked.

"Baekhyun..." I said and hugged him tightly. 

"I should've followed you inside the club. I was only waiting for you at the exit." He caressed my back.

"I'm so..." I kept on crying on his shoulders, but I feel like he doesn't mind.

"Taeyeon... Trust me." Baekhyun said, and I tightened my grip. I couldn't breath.
