LOVE SHOT (Short Stories)

R : Baekhyun

Note: PLEASE SKIP THIS PART (BAEK'S Short story) IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO READ SOMETHING RELATED TO DEPRESSION. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

(Guys, hindi po sa iisang mundo nakatira ang EXO members dito. Their stories are not connected with each other. Sehun's, Chanyeol's, and Baek's are the only ones connected. Or baka may isali pa akong ibang members na connected sa world nina Loey. 😏 (EHEM, OTP. CHANBAEK AND KADI PARIN AKO.)

Dedicated to YOU. ALL OF YOU OUT THERE...

YOU ARE LOVED

Baekhyun's POV

I have been getting a whole lot of bruises these past few weeks. Mostly at my legs and arms... And its not my fault. Sobrang sakit nga sa katawan eh... But s'kay. I understand.

It was said that the bruises, wounds, or scars, a person gets without reasons comes from their soul mate. As well as their thoughts, it is somehow shared by one another, like connecting minds, but that is very rare among people. It only happens in certain circumstances, known by those who experienced it.

Ibig sabihin... karamihan ng nararamdaman mo, nararamdaman din ng soulmate mo.

Kaya naisip ko na baka sa soulmate ko yun galing? But why though? Why does she have so many bruises? Binubugbog ba siya? Lampa ba siya o ano?

Hindi mo agad ito malalaman, soulmates give signs at a certain time... Hindi ko lang alam kung bakit ngayon... Bakit nagbibigay ng senyales ang Fate, mula sa soulmate ko. Why show our connection now?

Days passed and my bruises started to heal. I guess that's good? But I started to feel empty... Na para bang may kulang sa buhay ko.

"Baek!" tawag sakin ni Chanyeol. Medyo maayos na siya ngayon kesa nung mga unang linggo nung makilala at mawala ng biglaan si Faith sa buhay niya.

"Oh?" sagot ko. Nasa canteen kasi kami dahil break time pa naman. See? Hindi naman ako ganyan sumagot. I'm usually really loud and bubbly.

Pinitik niya ako sa noo. "Anyare sayo?" he glared.

"Lakas makapagsalita nito..." I said and also glared at him.

"Wag ka na nang gumaya sakin. Lalong nagiging malungkot sa grupo natin." sabi niya.

"Tsk. Kasi naman..." itinaas ko yung long sleeves ko, I am wearing a sweater, at pinakita sa kanila yung braso ko.

"What happened to that?" tanong ni Kai. "Nag-sexual intercourse ka ba?"

"Pinasosyal pa nito! Gago!" binatukan siya ni Kyungsoo, "hindi nalang sabihing sex." sabi ni Sehun.

"Mga ulol kayo!" sabi ko, "Hindi niyo ba naaalala mga ungas?"

Nagtaka sila lahat... Except kay Suho-hyung. "Soulmates." sabay naming sabi ni Suho-hyung. As expected from him.

Saka lang nila na-realize, talaga nga naman.

Biglang napatayo si Yeol, "Alam ko na!" sigaw niya kaya napatingin sakanya yung mga tao sa canteen.

Umupo na ulit siya. "Baek, samahan mo ako sa tattoo parlour mamaya." sabi ni Yeol.

"Bat?" takang tanong ko.

"Basta."

"Back to topic." sabi naman ni Luhan-hyung. "So ano nga? Bakit ka may ganyan? Yung soulmate mo kilala mo ba? Sigurado ka bang galing yan sa kanya?"

"Hindi nga," I sighed, "these days I've been feeling so empty too."

"Baka suicidal girlfriend mo?" Tao said, that earned him multiple glares.

"Hindi ko siya girlfriend okay? Saka wag naman sana, pero naisip ko narin na baka nga suicidal siya."

Maya-maya ay nagpatuloy na ang usapan hanggang sa mapunta na ang usapan sa basketball at dun sa kaibigan ni Sehun na si Rea.

Nasa classroom na kami ngayon. Advanced calculus ang subject, I'm usually bored of this. But right now, I AM SO ATTENTIVE, I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

Also... I've been getting thoughts from my soulmate?

It's very... deep. It's as if it's already the end of the world kinda thoughts. OA man pero kasi yun ang dating sakin ng mga nasa isip niya... Para bang pag hindi niya ginawa tong mga ganito ganiyan ay baka maging ganito siya, she's so conscious and worried about her future and what would the people she care about would think of her. Not only that... but her life, the people she cares for, everything around her seems to be so bad?

It's so heavy... I bet she's really struggling. When she couldn't even care for herself. It's very down, crestfallen, depressed? Broken... And I hate it.

Not that I hate her, but I hate it that she's hurting. I hate it that I feel her hurt so much and yet I couldn't do anything to help, I don't even know her. There are no signs at all. I can't go around asking girls if they're suicidal, or if they are my soulmates, they might fake it... That's ridiculous.

"So if we multiply the first-"

"AHH!" Naputol ang sasabihin ng prof namin nang bigla akong mapasigaw.

"Mr. Byun-"

I looked at my wrist and it's bleeding. A lot. And it hurts.

I'm sorry.
