[EDITING] ChanBaek: Wildest Dreams ¦ 슬픈 사랑 Series

(64) Not the Same Broken Guy

Agad syang kumalas sa yakap. Yes, it was good, too good it was getting uncomfortable. This woman in front of him was his Mother. The very first person who never truly loved him. The first of those many person who showed him that he doesn't have a place in them. The first person who abandoned him without any irrefutable reasons.

Yes... that's his Mother.

Yes... the very same person who brought him on this cruel world. That's why he shouldn't be feeling good with the hug the woman just gave him.

"Hyun-ah."

"Please Maam, Baekhyun will do." Sagot nya bago dumistansya sa babae. Nanginginig sya. Sa kaba, sa galit, sa lungkot, hindi nya rin sigurado, pero isa lang ang sigurado nya, walang saya sa mga yon. Natatakot sya.

Mukang nakaramdam naman ng pagkailang ang babae kaya tumango ito at sinenyasan silang pumasok. Chanyeol held him closer. Sabay silang pumasok sa bahay, at hindi nya inaasahan ang susunod na sasalubong sakanya.

It was a small kid, probably four years old. Yumakap yon sa kanang binti nya. He was never fond of kids. Seriously, he hated them.

"Samchun!"

Wow. Una, Oppa, tapos Hyun-ah, and now they even taught the kid to call him uncle. What the heck does they want from him now? Now, when he's finally out of the lime light.

Nagulat sya ng umupo si Chanyeol at saka binuhat ang bata.

"Hi, anong pangalan mo?"

"Byun Yeongwon." Sagot ng bata.

Before he can even tell Chanyeol to bring the kid down, bigla nalang may lumabas galing sa pintuan sa kanan. It was a guy who looked exactly like him, just a bit older, with a woman, probably his wife.

The room was getting crowded and it's making him dizzy. Nagulat nalang sya ng bigla syang mahilo, at ma-out of balance.

Chanyeol immediately caught his arms.

"Are you okay?"

Sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso nya. Isa-isang nag flashback lahat ng naalala nya nung bata sya. Suddenly he was back in the house he once live, the house that never felt home. He was together with a mother, father, and siblings but they never felt like a family.

He's having panick attacks right now, he never had episodes for so long. The last time he had an attack was when he saw Sehun inside his company for the first time in a long time. Nanginginig sya.

"Okay ka lang ba? Sit down." Bulong ni Chanyeol sakanya. Tumango sya, saka nya lang naramdaman ang unti-unting pagbalik ng hininga nya. Chanyeol kept on making lazy circles on his back and kept on squeezing his hand.

Next thing he knew everyone was sitting in front of him. The woman brought them drinks. Right in front of him sat his brother and his wife with their kid Yeongwon.

Si Baekhee naman biglang nawala.

Now it was so awkward. Hindi nya alam kung ano bang sasabihin nya, he doesn't want to sound rude by asking them what they wanted but that's what he's been itching to ask.

"Baekhyun, kamusta ka na?" Tanong ni Baekbom.

"I'm always good." Sagot nya... ano bang gusto nilang marinig? Na ayos lang sya kahit iniwan sya ng pamilya nya? Para ano, para iwas guilt?

"We watched your latest movie together, we're so proud of you."

What?!

Inabutan sya ng juice saka umupo sa tabi nya si Mrs. Byun, he'd settle for that since it's really uncomfortable saying the word Eomma. Mas kumportable pang magmura kesa sabihin ang salitang yon.
