i squeeze my eyes shut as disturbing images of my family flood my brain. their lifeless bodies are probably rotting right now to absolutely no one's knowledge, the smell of their aged body fluids reeking the entire house.

i can feel my heart pounding vigorously as i remember what Baekhyun said to me earlier in the morning.

my parents loved me. they would put their lives on the line for Nara and i.

"you okay?"
Baekhyun looks concerned as he eyes me through the rear view mirror, my eyes darting to stare at his reflection.

his answer has an utterly obvious answer, no.

i roll my eyes, letting out a sigh as i run my fingers through my loose locks, diverting my attention to the road.

i refused to sit in the passenger's seat when he practically dragged me out of his house.

to my surprise, he does nothing but drive at the same pace, his eyes focused on the road ahead.

i can't believe that we're headed to my house. the very place where my entire life was ripped away from me.

***

the car ride was silent yet peaceful. it gave me time to at least attempt to relax without being bothered by Baekhyun.

yet, as soon as we pull into the driveway of my house, my heart beat boosts back up.

"lets grab a few of your clothes on our way out or else i'm gonna lose all my new shirts to you"
he finally breaks the silence and presses down on the break pedal, making the car stationary.

the growing lump in my throat makes it hard for me to speak, beads of sweat quickly forming on my temples.

"i-i'm not going in"
i protest, wiping the sweat off of my forehead with the back of my hand, nervously.

"it wasn't an option"
his words make me even more nervous as he turns his head to face me, his facial expression cold and serious.

"i don't have to listen to you"
i almost spit out, the adrenaline pumping through my veins making me somewhat brave enough to talk back.

"i put a bullet in your family, i can do the same to you in a blink of an eye, Hura"
he raises his voice as he unbuckles his seatbelt but stops as soon as i respond.

"but you won't"
something in me makes me almost want to laugh at his foolish way of threatening me, but i hold myself back.

he parts his lips to respond but nothing but silence fills the compact car, and he proceeds to push the door open, defeated.

something tells me that he isn't as tough and demanding as he says he is, judging by the fact that he slams the door shut and walks away from the car without another attempt of trying to get me to follow him.

i finally let out the breath that i had been holding, inhaling deeply to regain a sense of stability.

i refuse to look out and observe him as he makes his way towards the front door of my house, memories of that horrifying day attacking me from all directions.
