Killers: Taeyeon

Taeyeon: 24

I'm excited and nervous. Excited, because I can't wait to tell my dad and my best friends that I regained my eye sight while I was away. Nervous, because I don't know what's next for us. I just felt Baekhyun hold my hand tight while we fly back home.

When we arrived, Seohyun's body guards escorted us to a car. I just followed them and smiled at Baekhyun. I trust them, though. We rode on the one of Seohyun's car, and Ken told us we should visit Kris' office, first, since he has something important to say. Seohyun also texted me that she'll be there.

We didn't have the time to go home and change, so we just went directly to Kris' office. I told Baekhyun to stay in the car. It's not that I still don't trust him. It's just... I don't know what to say to Seohyun after everything that I did. As I walked in the hallway, I noticed how unusually quiet this part of the building is. I looked around to see it empty.

"How the fuck do you expect me to tell her, huh!?" Is Seohyun screaming? What's this?

"You want me to tell her!? She's your friend, Seo!"

"Kris!!! It wouldn't have happened if you tightened her dad's security!"

"How was I supposed to know he was still their target!?"

"Ugh! Seriously!? Are we still gonna fight about this? Kris-" She turned around when I opened the door. "Taeyeon..."

"What happened to my dad?" I could feel the tears stream down my face. They both wouldn't look at me, and they're both so quiet. "Where's my dad!?"

"Taeyeon..." Kris called as he walked towards me. "Listen."

"NO!" I snapped at him. "Tell me what happened to my dad!"

"He was shot." He plainly said.

I didn't even move for a few minutes. I couldn't feel my arms, my legs, my everything. I'm going numb. I wanted to ask why it happened, how it happened, where my dad is, but my mouth won't cooperate. I looked at the both of them, and Seohyun just walked towards me, to probably give me a tight hug, like what we do when one of us cries. I noticed her flinch, though, and take a step back. Then someone called my name. I turned around to see him. I need him.

"Baek..." I called. I saw him run towards me and squeeze me into a tight hug.

"What happened?" I just trembled at the thought of my dad in pain while I was having the time of my life!

"What are you doing here!?" Seohyun said.

"Were you with him all this time, Taeyeon!?" Kris' furious. "Did you know he's one of them!?"

"Not anymore, Kris!" I said, trying to defend Baekhyun.

"Not anymore?" He scoffed. "He took you when you were blind so Hani and Chanyeol could make it look like they had you!"

"That's not true." I growled at him.

"Really? Could you look him in the eye and ask him that?" I know Kris as someone who's quiet, but today, he's especially talkative! But for the sake of it, I'll do it. Just to prove to them that Baekhyun changed.

"You're not working for them, right?" I looked at him, and he nodded. I turned to Kris, glaring at him. "See!?"

"Taeyeon, let's go to the hospital. You also need to have your eyes checked." Seohyun said and I stood up to follow her. I turned around and saw Baekhyun not following us, but Seohyun held my hand. "They will just talk. Surely, he'll follow us later." I nodded.

-

We went to the hospital and fortunately, my dad was just shot in the arm. I went to his side and I just cried in front of him. I left so my dad wouldn't be harmed, but he still got hurt. How useless could I get? I saw him open his eyes, then smiled at me. Of course, I hugged him, but not too tight. Just enough.

"Dad, I'm sorry I left." I said while he patted my back.

"I thought they had you!" He said and caressed my hair. "Chanyeol is a traitor!"

"I knew, dad. I told you." I should've stopped myself from saying that.

"I'm sorry, Taeyeon." He said and hugged me back. "We'll tighten your security."

"You should worry about yourself, too, dad." I said that but he shook his head.

"You worried too much for me. You even had your friends send me protection."

After a few hours, my dad needed rest, so I left his room and went home. He'll be transferred to our house so he'd feel more relaxed. I waited for Baekhyun, but he never came. Seohyun invited me to eat dinner with Tiffany. Of course, we had a lot of laughs and i-miss-you's. They asked me how I got my eye sight back, but to be honest, I really don't know.

"It's been a long time since we went clubbing. Let's go?" Tiffany asked. But I shook my head.

"I need wellness." I mocked her.

"Oh seriously!?" She groaned in disappointment. I just held my laughter in. "Come on!"

"Seriously, I can't." I said and took a deep breath. "My dad, remember?"

"Alright... But can we have a sleepover, then?" She looked at me with hopeful eyes, I nodded. "YES! Your unit!"

"Whatever." I said. I rode with Tiffany because Seohyun said she needed to go somewhere, and she'll just show up. 

Since I'm with Tiffany, a sleepover, according to her, would be incomplete without booze. So we had to stop by her house to get some. We also had some food delivered. We also bought some face masks and gel. We needed it, to be honest, because it's been a long time since I took care of my skin.

I opened my unit with Tiffany and I holding the bags of the stuff be brought. I quickly lied on my bed and Tiffany sat beside me. She turned her phone on and lied down, too. We took a photo and listened to music while waiting for Seohyun. I miss them, really. I looked around my unit and stared at it for a while. I only came here when I felt like dad hated me, and Heechul would always bring me here because this is the safest place he knows. Tiffany and Seohyun were the only people who knew about this place.

"Hey!" I was surprised when Tiffany called. "I said Seohyun will be here in a few minutes." She said and showed me a text. I nodded.

I walked around the room, trying to remember everything that I did here. The only memories I could think of aside from the countless crying sessions with Tiffany and Seohyun, are the countless crying sessions alone. I went to the place I cried the most- the bathroom. For some reason, I found it comforting to just lie down the tub and cry. I looked at the tub, and saw something that shined. I picked it up, only to see a locket. I opened it and saw a picture of a Hani and Seungri.

I know they were together, but I still can't believe it. I'm trying so hard not to believe it. My brother didn't kill Seungri. I know him. I know my brother isn't really kind, but I know he's not a murderer. I heard a yell from outside, and I quickly went out only to see Seohyun's bloody arm assisting her boyfriend's bruised body. What the fuck?
