Killers: Taeyeon

Taeyeon: 25

"Sorry I brought him here. I couldn't leave him alone." Seohyun said, and I snapped out of my thoughts. I quickly got the first aid kit out and handed it to her. "Thanks."

"What happened?" I asked her, making her turn red.

"Nothing..." She bit her lips and frowned at Kyuhyun. "I'll leave again to bring him to a hotel. I just needed to stop by. I'm really sorry."

"It's no problem." I told her, and I turned to Tiffany. "Right?"

She just nodded and lied down again.

When Seohyun left, I opened one of the chips and turned the TV on. I started eating, so Tiffany got the bottle of beer that she brought with her. She's watching the show with me. I just focused on the couple fighting on screen. A few more hours passed, and Seohyun's not yet back. But then again, she's with her boyfriend. I saw Tiffany pick up her phone and dialed someone. I was about to stop her when I heard her ask if it's the pizza place we all love. I was relieved.

A few minutes later, I heard the doorbell ring. I opened the door and was surprised to see 4 boxes of pizza! Who's gonna finish these? Tiffany was beside me and handed the delivery guy some cash. She didn't even wait for the change and just started pigging out on the pizza. She's only like this when she's sad or frustrated. Well, I guess she's both?

"What's wrong?" I asked her, and she just let out a sigh.

"I just feel frustrated." She said and took another slice. "I mean, I want to say some things, let things go, but I can't. I feel like I will hurt someone if I opened my mouth."

"Tiff..." I called and sat beside her. Took out one slice of pizza and ate it. "You're gonna hurt someone either way. Either that person will get hurt because you were telling the truth, or hurt someone else because you chose to keep it." I said and patted her shoulder. "But it's still your choice." I said and smiled at her.

"You're right." She said and hugged me. "Thanks Taeyeon."

I hugged her back, comforting her. "I miss this."

"Me too."

I woke up and looked around. I saw my unit cleaned. I didn't see Tiffany, so I checked my phone. She said she left. She needed do something important. Well, I guess I'm all alone, now. I quickly dialed Baekhyun's number. But it would only ring. He won't answer. 

I kept on calling his number, but he won't pick up. The doorbell rang, and I let out a heavy sigh as I stood up to get the door. It's probably Seohyun now. I looked at the time, and it's 3 am. Wait, I know Seohyun. If it's too late, she won't come. I took out Heechul's old baseball bat. Funny how I still remember where he kept it.

It sucks that there's no peephole! I knew it! I should've had a peephole. When I opened the door, I was surprised to see Baekhyun, looking at me coldly. I felt relief when I saw him, but this isn't him. I let him in, and he quickly sat on the couch. I sat beside him, and he looked at me. I couldn't comprehend what I could see. Could it be love? Lust? Anger? Fear? I don't know.

"Taeyeon, listen to me." He said and moved back a little. "Let's not see each other anymore."

What the fuck? "Are you crazy?"

"No. I'm perfectly sane. Let's not see each other. Let's stop communicating." He said and took my phone. It took me a while before I reacted, and he already handed me my phone. He deleted his number.

"Why the fuck are you doing this?"

"No particular reason. I just got tired of you."

"No, there's something wrong! I refuse to believe you! Tell me, honestly!" I begged. "Are you trying to get out of me to protect me? Seohyun has them! I know they won't be able to escape!"

"It's not even about Hani and Chanyeol, anymore..." He said, but I don't believe him. "Actually, it's still about them."

"What are you talking about?"

"We used you. We already hurt your father. We never killed him, which is very frustrating," He turned around to walk away. "But it still feels good to drive him crazy." He said and walked out the door.

I couldn't feel anything. I walked towards my bed and lied there. Nothing could make this more painful. Nothing.

I opened my eyes to see Seohyun sleeping on my bed. Someone opened the door, and to my surprise, it was her brother, Kris. His eyes widened when he saw me awake. He quickly closed the door and placed the paper bag he was holding on top of the table.

"Did I wake you up? Sorry, Seohyun asked me to drive her here this early."

"She just got here?"

"An hour ago. I just bought you two some food." He said and I nodded. "I was awake a few minutes ago."

"Well, I gotta go." He said, but I stopped him.

"Wait." He turned around and stared at me. But I can't ask him that... "Nothing. Just... Thank you."

"Yeah, sure." He said and left my unit.

I looked at Seohyun, who is peacefully sleeping. I took out the breakfast that Kris brought for us. Obviously, these are store bought. I'm gonna wake Seohyun up later. For now, I'll just set up the table, then take a bath or something.

I looked at the couch, and remembered what happened a few hours ago. That was it? Okay, then. That's it. I'm not gonna beg, I'm not gonna cry. I'm done crying over things that shouldn't even matter. As long as they don't hurt my dad anymore, then I'm gonna be fine. I will be. I have to be. I went to the bathroom and filled my tub with water. I stepped in, trying to drain the warmness of the water, and absorb the smell of strawberry because of the body wash.

When I got out of the bathroom, I saw Seohyun sitting up, like she just woke up. I smiled at her, and she did the same. We both stated eating our breakfast. I was wondering what she's doing here, though. I mean, he boyfriend was obviously drunk, but I can't just ask her about that. It's too early.

A part of me also wanted to talk to her about everything that's happening to me. My life has been extremely crazy! It's already October, but it feels like the bad things just happened yesterday. I trust Seohyun and Tiffany completely. They won't judge me, they won't tell anyone about my secrets. But at the back of my mind, I will never know. Because I don't know what to tell them, or how I should tell them. Am I drifting away from them? I hope not.
