Killers: Taeyeon

Taeyeon: 32

"What do you mean?" I asked, and he just smiled.

"Remember in New York?" I raised a brow at him. "When you were shopping?"

"What about it?"

"Someone was following you." He said and drank his iced coffee.

"Are you being serious right now?" I have to ask this.

"Yes."

"Did you recognize the guy that followed me?"

"He had pale skin, small eyes, sharp chin. I'm not good at remembering other things, but that's how I remembered him."

I sighed. "You're overreacting. It must've been one of my bodyguards."

"Am I?" He said and smiled at me. "'Cause I think he's still following you here." I got startled and looked around, but Mark stopped me. "Don't panic."

"Where is he?"

"2 tables behind you." He said and stood up. I thought Mark was gonna leave me alone, but I was surprised when I heard him talk loudly. "Here he is."

Gee, thanks Mark! Thanks for making me not panic! I went to his table and sat in front of him. I need to be composed. I can't show fear, or all I've been through would be useless. His build is familiar, though. Like I've seen him. Mark removed his cap, only to show me Baekhyun trying to avoid looking at me.

"What the fuck?" I said and grabbed him outside the coffee shop. Mark followed us, and I pinned him down my car. "What the fuck, Baekhyun!?"

"Taeyeon..." Mark called out. Not now, please. I need to know.

"Why did Chanyeol want me to come to you? And why are you following me?"

"The person that framed Hani must be a greater enemy. And right now, it's either Chanyeol is captured, or he escaped. If he successfully escaped, or not, we need to be careful. Chanyeol is a great liar, but I trust him on this one."

"Why!?"

"What are you guys talking about?" Mark sounded scared, so I faced him.

"Mark, I can handle this. Thanks." I said, and he nodded, backing away slowly. Then I faced Baekhyun. "Answer me."

"It's to keep you safe." He said and looked down.

He took me to a small house. It's not as massive as the places he brought me, but this is cozier. He motioned me to sit on the grey couch, so I did. I looked around, and I swear, if not for the pregnant girl sleeping in the bedroom, I'd think Baekhyun is single. Why did I give myself to him, anyway? Was it the spur of the moment? Was I confused? Or was I lonely? I don't even have the answer to those.

I noticed him get out of the bedroom and sit on the long couch. He closed his eyes and looked up. I can't help but stare at him. To be completely honest with myself, I kind of miss him. But for whatever reason he ended what we could have been, I guess I'll be okay with it. I have been selfish these past few months. I can't be selfish anymore.

I can't believe what I'm doing. This isn't right. His girlfriend is here. But then, he makes me want to walk closer to him. To just kiss him, hug him tight, and ask him to come back to me. He opened his eyes, and I was taken aback, but I can't just show him I'm hesitating. I walked closer to him, sitting on the same couch, but not too close.

"Is your girlfriend okay?" I asked, hoping I'd stop after this question.

"She's not my girlfriend." He plainly said and shrugged. "My cousin is fine."

"Your cousin?"

"Yeah. She was forced by her boyfriend to have sex with him, then broke up with her after he found out she's pregnant." He frowned, then glanced at the bedroom. "Douche bag."

"But I thought she was your..." Ugh! Stop it! You're gonna say something useless if you don't stop, Taeyeon! "Nevermind."

"Before we saw each other the last time, she was lecturing me about how stupid I was to let go of you, and that I am no different to the guy that broke her heart." I am speechless. "When I told you I love you, I meant it. I really-" Someone banged the door, so Baekhyun got up.

Chanyeol entered his house, and seeing his stomach bleed, I can't help but worry! I don't know anything about first aid! I panicked, even though I saw Baekhyun bringing a first aid kit with him and started treating his wound! What could've happened to him? The girl in the room got up, and even though her tummy isn't as massive as I expected it to be, it was visible.

She went over to Chanyeol and helped Baekhyun treat the wound. I'm kind of worried for her, because she's probably tired, but she's still helping them. She glanced at me, and told me to get the clean towel. When I handed her the towel, she quickly cleaned the blood in their hands. Baekhyun went to the bed room, and went back with him a black loose shirt in his hand.

"Wear it." Baekhyun said, and Chanyeol tried to get up.

"Why did you leave the hospital?" I asked him, but he did not talk. "Chanyeol."

"Taeyeon, listen to me." Baekhyun said and grabbed my arm. "They're after him. We have to leave now.

"What?" This soon!?

"Take this." Chanyeol gave Baekhyun a gun. I don't know if I'm gonna stay calm or freak out. I just decided on the former. "Taeyeon, your dad got your papers ready. You'll be meeting him in the Philippines."

"But I thought my dad was in New York?" Am I the only one who's clueless about the things around me?

"Yes, it's a lie we made up. He's already in Cebu, and if you leave now, they won't be able to go after you." He said and grabbed Baekhyun's shirt. "Stay, I need to tell you something."

Baekhyun's cousin brought me to the elevator. Isn't she worried that she'll lose her baby if she moves a lot? I glanced over her, and she's really, really pretty. She looks really young, too. Like she just turned 17 yesterday or something. She must've noticed my uneasiness, because she glanced my way. I just smiled at her.

"Never trust anyone, okay?" She said and when the elevator door opened, she motioned me to follow her to the car park.

I rode on the black wrangler jeep and waited for Baekhyun. After a few minutes, Baekhyun came and drove towards the airport. It was too fast, I didn't even remember the places we passed by. We both rode down my dad's private jet. The people on board served us food and wine. I started eating on the steak, and Baekhyun just gazed at me.

"Want some?" I offered him, because I am extremely hungry.

"No." He said and I felt dizzy.

I saw him smile, and I swear, I could kill him if I didn't freeze up. I looked around, and everyone was ready to tie me up. For the nth time, I was fooled, again! Damn you, Baekhyun, for making a fool out of me again, and damn you Taeyeon, for being gullible!
