Ko Ko Bop ~ EXO

1.0

Baekhyun had sped off to the house at the sound of the young boy crying. His heart thumped wildly in his chest at the thought of seeing Luna in such distress.

His long strides to the door were full of determination, however he didn't knock nor did he bang the door down. Instead he slipped his hand around the doorknob and pushed gently before entering the house.

The home was small and run down. The once white carpet was now a dark grey and the painted walls had smudges and small handprints down them, courtesy of Jasper.

Baekhyun didn't make a sound as he stepped hesitantly into the kitchen. The young boy sat at the counter, chin on his hand as he sniffled silently. His dark hair falling over his eyes as he glanced over at the older man. His mouth widened in a grin as he moved to echo Baekhyun's name. Yet he stopped as Baekhyun pressed a finger to his lips.

"Hey buddy, I want you to stay right here okay? I'm going to get your mummy" the young boy nodded at the thought of his mother and prepared to sit tight.

As Baekhyun moved around the corner and entered a narrow hallway, he caught sight of Kris's giant figure slumped up against the bedroom door, his mouth tilted open as a small strand of drool fell past his top lip. A small coating of blood was smothered against Kris's knuckles and Baekhyun found himself rooted to floor of the home. He wasn't prepared to find Luna in whatever state she was in.

However he managed to tiptoe towards the door, side stepping Kris's figure before tapping his knuckles lightly against the wooden door. Not hard enough to be considered a knock but not light enough to go unheard.

"Go away Kris!" Luna yelled, noticebaly teary as Baekhyun twisted the doorknob. The door refused to budge, it was locked.

"Luna..." Baekhyun's vocals ended with a voice crack, allowing his vulnerabitlity to shine through.

"Baek?" She called distantly, her small feet padding towards the door before hesitantly allowing it to open. Baekhyun had managed to slip inside before Kris's body could slump heavily to the cool tiled floor.

The woman he stared at was a mess, wet trails of tears escalating down her cheeks, hair matted and knotted from running her hands through constantly.

"Jasper? Where is he?" Luna asked frantically as he hands fumbled for the door once again, however Baekhyun caught her hands in his before strengthening his hold.

"He's in the kitchen, calm down. I want you to crawl through the window, meet me at the car. I'll get Jasper" Baekhyun could sense the hesitation in Luna's step as he removed the fly screen from the window. He watched her fall from the window sill briskly before allowing an unneeded breath to pass his lips.

Get a grip.

Baekhyun's hand slipped around the doorknob before watching kris's figure fall with a heavy thump to the ground. Baekhyun watched Kris's body struggle slightly as he stirred before allowing that unneded breath to release once again as Kris dozed back off.

"Jasper?" Baekhyun had called in whisper as he reached the end of the hallway, taking small glances back at Kris to make sure his position hadn't changed.

"Yeah?" The kid asked in a similar tone, outstretching his arms to be lifted. Baekhyun pulled the boy into his grasp before making a bolt for the exit in which he succeeded. The young child's head was tucked firmly into Baekhyun shoulder as he lowered the young one into the back seat.

Luna who had occupied the front seat, reached over the arm rest frantically to grip her son's hand tightly.

"Oh thank God" She spoke, completely out of breath as Baekhyun sped out of the driveway.

"BAAAEEEKKKHHHYYYUUUNNN!!!!!"
