Havoc Peace [Sebaek/Baekhun/Hunbaek](Boyxboy)

The (Un)expected Words

Sehun blinked his eyes open. Darkness met him and he closed his eyes again but they flickered open when he heard a soft snore. His eyes travelled downwards and saw a tuff of hair beside his hand. He tried sitting up and pain greeted him but it wasn't that bad. His body knew it had felt worse. Once he straightened himself and allowed his eyes to adjust, he noticed the person sleeping on the chair beside him was no other than Baekhyun. He wasn't sure what to do in this situation. The door creaked open slowly and Lay walked in.

"Lay hyung.... Why... How are you here?" The younger boy stuttered. It had been so long since he met the other that it made him build up a wall unconciously as he did with everyone else he has met. Lay walked over to him and handed him the water in his hand. He patted Sehun on the shoulder and pulled another chair closer to the bed to sit on.

"How are you feeling?" The older asked. Sehun felt his chest tightened at how Lay was being so calm and collected. He could feel water stinging his eyes but the darkness hid them well.

"I'm fine. What happened to my mum?" He tried to open the bottle Lay handed to him but he noticed the bandages on his hands and the little strength he had. Lay smiled softly and opened it for him. Sehun felt the stinging deepened. How is Lay able to be so nice....

"The police took her in for questioning of course. You were almost killed by your own mum. It's not something normal mothers would do," Lay replied. Sehun drank a little bit of water to soothe his dry throat but took no more than needed.

"I see. Why are you back here? And how did you know... my address?" Sehun asked in a distant voice. Lay couldn't help but frown.

"Sehun-ah. Don't push yourself away anymore. I came back in hopes I could find you and see your condition and maybe bring you away too. As for your address, we just met the boy named Kai coincidentally. He was heading over to your house and he said you were in trouble so we followed him." Sehun wanted to tightened his grip on the bottle but his weak arm didn't allow such an action. He looked away from Lay instead.

"I already said to stay away from me, hyung. Involving yourself isn't going to help in any way." Lay stood up and leaned on the bed to look at Sehun who glanced to see what Lay was doing but their eyes met instead.

"Stop this, Sehun. I care for you that's why I'm doing this. Not only me but Baekhyun as well. We can give you a proper house so... don't think foreign of us," Lay's voice softened and his eyes had a look of sadness within. Sehun gritted his teeth. He wasn't going to cry. He can't allow himself to break down now. He can't afford to do so.

"I don't want you guys to get hurt. Please, hyung. I can't run away from my family just like this. If this is how it's supposed to be, then so be it." Sehun was trying really hard to not let his tears flow but he felt a warm hand holding onto his cold hand. He jumped slightly but he saw Baekhyun looking up at him with warm eyes.

"Do you really want to be acknowledged by your parents that much?" Baekhyun asked and Sehun gasped.

"Wha- What are you saying?" Sehun asked. He wanted to pull his hand away but Baekhyun held on.

"Because I was like you. Maybe my parents were better but I was the same. I was forced to train my body since young and study so that I could take over my dad's position someday but I didn't want that and on top of that, there were always kidnappings and assassinations that I had to survive against. All I ever wanted was my parents to see me for who I am but they never do no matter how hard I try to follow what they want. I just wanted them to acknowledge me as their son and not the heir to the group. That's why I got so fed up and tried to suicide. Even now... they still don't see me as their son... But I know now that suiciding isn't going to solve my problems. Without me here, there will be no heir and my family name might just perish."

"I'm... different from you," Sehun said flatly and slipped his hand away. "I'm don't need acknowledgement from them. I don't care what happens to them but I don't want people that I truly care for to get hurt. I don't care if I get hurt but not those that matters to me. If I'm not there to look out for them, then they might just fall prey to my parents."

"Then why did you call Kai?" Lay asked. Sehun widened his eyes.

Why did I...?

"I didn't. It was just an accident." A shaky tone laced his voice and both Baekhyun and Lay could tell.

"What really happened, Sehun? Tell us. Let us help you. We can put your parents behind bars where they will be unable to hurt those that you care for anymore," Lay said while grasping Sehun's hand this time. The younger boy gulped. Will they really be gone forever? Could they?

"No. I can't. If I don't see them with my own eyes and see those I care about safe, I'll never rest assured," Sehun tried reasoning with himself but Baekhyun pinched his cheeks, causing him to flinch. No one has ever done that before.

"I would slap you but since you're hurt, I won't. If you don't put your parents in jail, they will hurt more than those that you care about. They might hurt those I care about or Lay cares about and we wouldn't want that now, would we?" Baekhyun snapped. Sehun frowned. He knew they were right. He wanted to believe in them so badly. The wall that he had tried to put between them was crumbling down. What was so special about Baekhyun that makes him so weak towards?

"Promise me something first."

"Anything!" Baekhyun and Lay said which made Sehun feel relieved in a way. He could feel his tense muscles relaxed slightly.

"Promise me you won't get hurt and you will stay away from me and my family if the situation becomes too dire. Don't come back for me. Ever. If my parents aren't found guilty. Please. Promise me this. Then I'll tell you."
