previously:
my eyes travel around the room until they land on the back of a petite woman, her body bent down to pull something out of the sizzling hot oven.

a loose dress is hugging her small figure, her hair tied up in a ponytail.

she sighs and uses all her strength to pull out a tray of hot and baked chicken from the oven and sets it on the counter carefully.

she's completely unaware of the situation she's been put in.

i slightly turn my head to catch a glimpse of Baekhyun whom is attentively observing her, his ocean blue orbs filled with hunger and excitement.

***

"i said dinner is ready!"
i instantly jump as she slightly raises her voice, sounding somewhat frustrated and impatient.

"mommy, look who's here!"
the little boy ignores his mother and happily announces, his little fingers pointing towards our frozen bodies.

Baekhyun remains still as a rock, his smirk only growing as if everything is going to sinister plan.

i sink my teeth deep into my lower lip, trying to keep myself from screaming for help.

why aren't i seeking for help..?

almost immediately, her eyes widen and remain glued to the pair of her innocent son. her aggravated facial expression drops and her face turns pale and impossibly flushed like a ghost.

against her will, she forces herself to rip her eyes off of her clueless child and make eye contact with the strangers standing by her kitchen door.

as soon as my watery eyes meet her fearful ones, my teeth sink deeper into my cracked lower lip.

she doesn't even need to say anything or scream for me to read the fear, shock and confusion written all over her face.

her eyes soften once they meet Baekhyun's, her intense facial expression only worsening.

she aggressively grabs her son by his arm and pulls him back toward herself, hiding him behind her as a source of protection.

"what are you doing here? who is she?!"
she whisper yells while speeding towards us with heavy steps, her reaction not exactly what i had expected.

i swallow the growing up in my throat as i watch her stop right in front of Baekhyun, her fists tightened and her teeth clenched.

"missed me, baby?"
Baekhyun speaks seductively and calmly, his eyes burning holes through her face.

her eyes stay glued to his, both of them completely ignoring my presence in the room.

he raises as arm, extending out towards her before gently caressing her cheek with his slender yet cold fingers that were around my waists just seconds ago.

"i told you he'd be home"
she almost yells, her words laced with fear as she greets her teeth together.

i gasp as soon as i come to the realization that there's something in between them.
