Save Me | WonKyun

Chapter 28: ...Why?

Chapter 28: ...Why?

[Changkyun's POV]

I opened my eyes, slowly adjusting to the sunlight that peered inside my room through the windows. I felt my eyes and face to be a bit heavy once I tried to get myself up which my body totally declined. Even if I try, I would just fall back. The pain from my side and my face is still there but it doesn't sting like before. Good thing we came home after and I had a good night rest even though I cried myself to sleep last night.

"Changkyun... Can we please talk?"

I could feel the sadness in his voice, trying to reason me out. Every words he spitted out pierced through my heart.

I can't talk to him right now...

His words struck me like the way Hyungwon had landed a blow on my side. I don't want to hear it, I don't want to give in. I just can't stand Wonho's voice, pleading, crying again like that, but I can't deny myself that I hated him with all of my heart.

He didn't save me...

He broke his promise that he'll protect me no matter what, that he'll be there by my side, that he'll be the one that I can lean on. But he was not there. He was not there for me when I needed him. He was not there for me when I needed him to save me.

"Changkyun... Please..."

He knocked again but this time it was soft. I heard the sobs he made just outside my room which rendered me speechless. I was also in verge of crying earlier when he held my arm. I want to hug him, I want to cry on his chest, I want to feel protected again but all of them were just lies. He lied to me. All the trust I had given him, they're all gone.

Wonho...

Images of him crying like what he did before flashed back once again. I can't contain my feelings anymore. I let it all out against my pillow. I cried as hard as I can, muffled screams escaping through the pillow. I cursed at him but I cursed myself even more for not fighting back, for being weak, for being selfish. I know I was hurt and he was hurt too but I can't afford to face him right now. I don't want him to see me crying like this.

I reached for the bag that lied below my feet. I opened it and searched for my phone. The clock on the notification bar says I have unread messages, missed calls and that its 10:04AM in the morning.

I skipped class again.

I unlocked my phone and quickly got to the messages to see the ones I received from yesterday and today, I guess.

[From: Mom <3

Changkyun, I won't be home for a week or two maybe? I have a lot of work-related stuff to do in a province too far away from home. Take care of yourselves there. I won't worry about you now, Wonho is there to protect you. ;))

I love you both. I'll call you tomorrow once we arrived at the province.]

I scoffed at the words I saw in my mother's message.

Protect me?

[From: Wonhoney <33

I told Mr. Yoo you can't come to class today. Please use the whole day to rest. Text me please once you're awake.]

I deleted his message after I read it.

[From: Unknown Number

How are you? You didn't come to your class today. Good thing you're resting. :D]
