[Exopink: Baekmi] The game of destiny

Shattered

Baekhyun came to school the next morning excited at the thought of spending more time with bomi. He parked his car and rushed to his class. He smiled at the sight of her. He quickly went and sat in his seat, besides her. He placed his hand on hers and smiled "Hey, good morning" Bomi quickly pulled her hand. She was still worried and could not get a wink of sleep at night. She was troubled by thinking how she should explain it to baekhyun about yesterday's event. He noticed her and asked "What happened?" .Bomi looked in his eyes sadly. She wants to tell him the truth as early as possible. He placed his hand on her cheek and questioned "What's wrong?"

Bomi was shocked by his action and removed his hand. It was becoming more and more difficult for her. He said thinking "Oh, are you sad because I didn't call you yesterday?" He said holding his ears and cutely tilting his head "I am sorry. Please forgive me my dear cute bomi. I was so tired that I dozed off as soon as I reached home"

She could not bear it anymore. She felt as if she is deceiving him and things are turning more complicated, before it turns into a serious problem she felt a necessity to tell him the truth. She can't keep quiet anymore as she could see the care and gentleness baekhyun started showing towards her. She broke the silence "Baekhyun, I want to tell you something" .Baekhyun smiled thinking she is paying more attention to him slowly "Yeah, I am listening". She said "Not here, let's go outside please" Baekhyun smiled thinking she wants to talk to him in private "Okay" he said.

They both went to the school lawn and bomi quickly started the conversation. She doesn't want to drag it any longer. She said "Baekhyun, I am sorry but I need to tell you the truth" Baekhyun was confused "Truth?" he thought. She continued taking a deep breath "Yesterday, I was going to confess to taehyung but I don't know how you stood in the same place and I confessed to you instead. Baekhyun, I love taehyung. I don't love you"

Baekhyun froze and stood in disbelief. He laughed nervously "Hey bomi, you....you are playing a prank aren't you?... because I didn't meet you before. You are joking right? Please stop it...seriously...I don't like this kind of a joke" Bomi started tearing up "I am sorry baekhyun I love someone else. I tried to explain it to you yesterday but you did not listen to me. Kindly understand my situation. I am not lying" He could hear the sound of his broken heart. He could not digest what she just said. He calmed himself down as he need answers "Bomi, don't you remember anything?" he asked with a slight hope still in his heart that may be she remembers their promise.

Bomi asked him confused "Remember what?" He felt as if he was hit by a lightning. He doesn't know what was happening anymore. Just yesterday he was so happy and today everything shattered. What was most heartbreaking was the girl he loved for 11 years, the girl for whom he has been waiting for doesn't remember their promise on that she loves someone else. As his mother predicted he was shattered. He fell on his knees "Nothing...nothing...you don't remember bomi....you" tears kept flowing from his eyes but he wiped it before she could see them. He turned to the other side to hide his tears.

Bomi didn't understand what he was saying but she could not see him in that state. She felt responsible for hurting him, she could feel that he was crying though she was unable to see. He doesn't know she was more hurt watching him cry. He noticed bomi's troubled face and tears continuously flowing from her eyes. He said to ease her "I am... I am fine. You can go. I need some time" Bomi cried "Baekhyun!!" He said avoiding her eyes "Go bomi. Please"

Bomi cried "I am sorry baekhyun. I am sorry". Baekhyun wiped his tears and turned around. He smiled weakly and wiped her tears "Hey, why are you crying? Please don't cry it is not your fault. In fact it is nobody's fault. Now go" Bomi was leaving but he grabbed her hand. Bomi was surprised. He said looking everywhere but not her "Bomi, does he like you...the guy you like?" .She said shaking her head "I don't know" .He bit his lip then laughed with a broken heart "He will be an idiot if he doesn't" .Bomi cried "Baekhyun!!" .He pulled her hand and hugged her tightly biting his lips so that she could not hear him cry. He broke the hug and rushed to his car. Bomi fell on her knees and cried hard thinking she hurt someone unintentionally.

Baekhyun drove his car and went home. His parents were out for some work. He rushed to his room and slammed the door. He slid down the door crying "You don't remember our promise bomi. The promise which we made 11 years ago broke within a day. Why bomi? Why? I love you so much but you love someone else. Why can't it be me? Why am i not the one you love?" .He threw his mattress, pillows, vases everywhere and fell on the floor crying his heart out.

It was night; baekhyun's parents were home. The maids informed them that baekhyun was early from school, since then he is in his room. They rushed to his room thinking something might have happened as he was not the person to stay in his room for a long time. His mother hurriedly opened the door and was shocked to see him lying on the floor as if he was dead. Tears were flowing from his eyes continuously while he whispered "Bomi...Bomi" her name continuously.

His parents were concerned, also confused as to what happened that he is in this state. They rushed to his side "Baekhyun, what's wrong?" his father asked worried. His mother shook his arm as he wasn't answering anything "Baekhyun!!" she raised her voice to bring him back to reality. He saw them still lying on the ground "Mom, dad....bomi....bomi doesn't remember our promise. She doesn't" he cried. His parents hugged him tightly and stroked his back. He said holding them tight and crying loudly "She said she loves someone else. She is not mine dad..... I love her...I love her so much...but she doesn't love me...11 years, I have been waiting to meet her but...I lost....i lost her". His mother cried watching him "Calm down baekhyun" . He said still crying "I can't live without her. I can't"

His father broke the hug and held his face "Look at me baekhyun...I said look at me" .Baekhyun looked at him "Dad" .His father said "Why do you think we encouraged you despite knowing the possibility? What do you think baekhyun? If we could we would have stopped you the very first day. We knew and anticipated this probability that she may not remember your promise but still we never stopped you. Do you even know why?" ...because we know...we know that our son has the capability to change the impossible thing to possible. Because we have seen how much you love bomi. Though the promise you made years ago was childish and immature but the love you have for bomi is pure and deep. Do you understand? Don't you ever say that you lost".

His mother said "You can't lose faith baekhyun. We were sure that not because of any promise but as a person you will win bomi's heart. Even if she doesn't remember the promise she will love you...you as a person. So stop crying and stand up. We never taught you to lose at least not before trying" His father said "Remember one thing son you can try but never expect to win because this is not a game. It is life. At last what happens is only based on our destiny" He wiped his tears and said "Dad, Mom. You are right even if she doesn't remember our promise I will make her fall in love with me as a person. Thank you".

His mother explained to him "Son, you can't force someone to love you. At last bomi is the one to decide. I don't know whether she will love you back or not but you need to respect her decision and it may be anything. Do you understand?" .He nodded "Yeah mom..i will show her how much I love her ....i know that she is the one who will decide but I wish...I wish she will love me back" .His parents hugged him. He is the only child to his parents, they want to give him everything he wishes for but they also want him to learn that he needs to live his life even if he fails or loses something.
