I'm Not Yours To Protect

Chapter 10

                     Chanyeol's POV
                          Saturday

          The day I was excited for finally came. I was glancing back and forth of my bedroom. What am I gonna wear? Where should I take her? What should I do? WHAT IF I MESSED THIS UP?!

          "Hm?" My ears twitched at my ringing phone and I turned my head to the vibrating phone on my bed. My legs subconsciously walked to my bed and I answered my phone.

          "Chanyeol!" My eyes widened in shock at her sudden cry. Sunmi noona was panicking again. I let out a deep sign before asking her, "Where are you?"

                              -----
                          Timeskip

          I didn't know where to take her so I just brought her to the Ramen shop that Eunhyun was always talking about. It's only 4.30, I still have time.

          "What's wrong noona?" I sat down in front of her. She was looking down at the table when she cleared her throat and finally looked at me. "It's my fault... that Yoora died."

          Not this again. I grasp her hands and said firmly, "It's not your fault." I felt her muscle tense at my touch but slowly relaxed at my grip. "If only, I was watching the road...she wouldn't have died!" Her yelled caused everyone's attention to be on us. "Noonaa, stop dwelling on the past. It's over already, even if it is your fault you can't change anything but it's not your fault okay."

          Her chocolate eyes met mine and she gave me a warm smile. "I'm glad I have you in my life." I chuckled lightly before getting out of my seat and pulling her into a tight hug.

                              -----

          What I didn't pay attention to was the freaking time. My eyes widened at my watch. 6.43 shoot! I glanced back at Sunmi noona and i signed. If I leave her alone she may start blaming herself again and even hurt herself. I'm sorry Eunhyun. I took out my phone and sent a message to Eunhyun

To: Ms Ugly 😙
Mianhae Eunhyun, something came up and I have to cancel our date. I know I'm super late but I hope you aren't upset.

          I placed my phone on the table and brought my attention back to Sunmi noona. My heart itched at the thought of Eunhyun, my abs tightened with the memory of her hands wrapped around mine. I can't believe I forgotten about our date, what's worst is that I cancelled on her.

          "So Chanyeol, you must be pretty famous in school. With your looks and all, why wouldn't you be." She said in a playful tone while grinning at me.

          I scratched the back of my neck and chuckled at her compliment. "Well I do get love letters quite often but I'm not interested in any of them." Sunmi noona took a sip of her drink and continued, "Do you like someone." She said sternly. Like? Eunhyun...

          "Nahh, No one interests me." I put my hands up in a defensive way. "Liar! You're thinking about someone."

          "What? No?!" I started waving my hands in my face, trying to strongly deny. Hah that's what Eunhyun did when I brought her home that day. "You're blushing! Come on tell me!"

          "Fine fine, it's just some girl in school." I let out a sign, giving up on keeping it a secret from her.

          Her small pupils registered surprise before they suddenly darkened. She then looked down using her bangs to cover her eyes, casting a shadow. "So you do have a crush..." she whispered.

          I raised my eyebrow at her sudden change of mood and was about to reply when I heard a familiar voice called my name. Wait, this is...I quickly turned my head, hoping that it isn't her, anyone but her.

          The gods must hate me because there she was all dressed up. God she's beautiful. I was gawking at her beauty until I heard her sobbed. My brown eyes locked with her beautiful ones, my tongue twisted to find the right words to say but nothing came out of my mouth. I averted my eyes from hers in shame.

          I felt Sunmi noona tug the hem of my shirt. "Who is she?" She asked me curiously. I clenched my fist at my stupidity. I'M SUCH AN IDIOT! My ears detected the pounding of steps and I quickly looked up at where Eunhyun was standing.

          "Eunhyun! Wait!" I was about to chase her but Sunmi noona has her grip around my wrist, pulling me back. I faced her and saw her eyes slowly watering. "Please don't leave me alone." Her voice cracked causing me to clench my jaw and grit my teeth.

          "I'm sorry noona!" I yanked my arm from her grasp and dashed out of the door without a minute to spare.

                              -----
                      After 2 hours

          I cursed under my breath. I have been searching for 2 hours but I couldn't find her. I called her countless of times but she wouldn't pick up.

          "PARK CHANYEOL!" I flinched my shoulders in shock at the sudden yell. I hoped it was Eunhyun but the voice was too deep to be hers. I observed the man in front of me and took a few steps forward. "Baekhyun have you seen Eun-"

          I stumbled back and place a hand over the painful area. "What the hell was that for?!" I demanded, eyebrows scowling.

          "You bastard!" Baekhyun was about to punch me once more but I saw through his attack and dodged it causing him to fall to the ground. My jaw tightened and I looked at him out of the corner of my eye, more angered at his rude approach. I stepped forward and grabbed the collar of his shirt, my fist was about to come in contact with his face when, "STOP!!"
