The Aftermath || oh sehun || pt. 2

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX

Sehun's P.O.V.

But then after a split second, Aira's eyes opened. I took a glimpse to see her eyes turned into a teal color before an invisible force was released within her, making me fly across the field. The trees were cut down in a millisecond, and the birds flew away as if escaping a tragedy. When I landed on the ground, I touched the back of my head to see it was bleeding so bad. Then, I lifted my head up to see Aira standing up like a dead person who just got out of its grave.

I weakly stood up when I saw her approaching me. She looked horrifying. Her face and her dress were both covered in her own blood. I immediately run away before she could finally reach me. I run as fast as I could back to the house to warn the others.

Panting and sweating, I finally reached the house. I shut the door loud behind me; it was too loud, the three of them came in the living room. Baekhyun got a lot better now since the last time I had hurt him, but the scars I had given him was still visible.

"What's wrong? You're sweating too much." Chanyeol said

"What's happening?" Baekhyun asked, almost whispering.

I approached the three of them, put a hand on Chanyeol and Kyungsoo's shoulder who were both standing next to me, then lifted my head up to see Baekhyun's face who was standing right in front of me. "I want you guys to hide. Run away from here. Somewhere far away from. . . Tao." I looked at them one by one. "You understand?"

"Where's Aira?" Chanyeol piped up, "Earlier, you told me you'd find find her. Where is she?" I could already sense the lost of hope in Chanyeol's voice. He was scared. I pressed my lips together, and gave him a pat on the shoulder.

"Just do what I say, Chanyeol. Please." I told him, not even breathing a single breath as I spoke.

"Come on, Chanyeol." I heard Kyungsoo said, dragging the taller boy put of the living room while Baekhyun just stood there.

"You should go with them." I said.

"I'm sorry," He said, and that was the first time I had heard him say that to me. "for everything I said and did to you. I really am." He looked away, "This might be the end for us, Sehun and I wanted to apologize before I—we die—"

"You're not gonna die, Baekhyun! No one's gonna die!"

He shook his head and let out a suicidal laugh, "It's okay. We have accepted reality, Sehun. Aira's probably dead out there, and we saw no hope of going back to the life we used to have. At least, thank you for trying so hard to protect us. Thank you, Sehun. He was forcing himself not to cry, but the tears were starting to fill up in his eyes. "But if we were given a chance to have our normal life back. . ." He paused, biting his lower lip and his tears finally fell, "I want you to stay away from her." The words stabbed me softly. Baekhyun was already sobbing once he said it. "That was all I asked and wished for. I really want the best for Aira, and you are not really the best for her, Sehun. I'm sorry. . ." He said then he run out of the living room, following where Chanyeol and Kyungsoo have disappeared to.

I'm sorry I couldn't protect you with the best I could.
I was selfish.
I was too terrified of facing reality. Too afraid to turn into a demon to protect you all.
If I just killed Tao earlier, this wouldn't happen.
