my babiessss
i'm so so so sorry for the super late update.. i've been busy and uninspired to write but i'm not giving up on this book until i finish it so don't worry!
this is more like a filler chapter since i haven't updated in over a month but it reveals something biiig. so please get this to 140+ likes before i update next. i need extra encouragement 😭

previously:
in a matter of minutes, everyone is forced to leave, full plates of food left behind on empty tables.

it's silent.

i hear my uncle's footsteps get louder as he approaches our table once again, not a single word coming out of his mouth.

"good job"
baekhyun smiles brightly as his mood suddenly changes and he pushes himself off of his seat and walks past our table.

i dare not look, because i don't want to face my uncle.

"now"
baekhyun's exhales as he pushes his chair back with the back of his legs, his figure towering over mine as i stay seated.

"my baby didn't like what you put in front of her.. but she's a shy girl, so i have to stand up for her"
he emphasizes on the word shy as his eyes travel from me to my uncle, his fists tightened.

i can see a combination of excitement, anger, disappointment and happiness written all over his face and i can't help but feel more confused.

before i know it, in one quick movement, he pulls his arm from behind him and reveals a glossy gun, aimed right at my uncle.

this is when i finally part my lips to yell 'stop', adrenaline pumping through my veins as i dart up from my chair, finding my balance on my heels.

"hura?"
my uncle's aged voice makes me uncontrollably turn my head and we finally make direct eye contact.

my heart drops to the pit of my stomach as i look into his fearful eyes, his lips slightly parted from utter shock and confusion.

his right eye merely twitches before he swallows the lump in his throat and takes a step back as if he is in disbelief.

"how are you-"
he starts to speak but is cut off.

"alive?"
baekhyun's raspy voice overlaps with my uncle's, my head darting towards him with confusion.

baekhyun glances over at me before redirecting his attention back on to my shivering uncle.

"you didn't really think i was gonna kill the love of my life for you, did you?"
he chuckles, his eyes widened as he stares into my uncle's pitch black eyes with disappointment.

"d-did you know my family died?"
i finally find the courage to speak, my question directed at my uncle with curiosity.

"hura, honey, it was his plan"
baekhyun speaks with frustration in his tone, greeting his teeth together to hold himself back from what his mind is telling him to do.
