Metamorphosis [EXO FF]

Stranger

Baekhyun walked through the busy streets, the cape of his hoodie was shoved over his head, his face was devoured by the darkness and only his eyes reflected the streetlights in the cold night in the winter making them shine lightly.

The boy yawned widely when he crossed the road, heading to his job on one of the central tank stations. It was his turn to night shift, which included taking care of the cars, of course and the small shop the station had.

With one, two turns of his key he opened the creaky door of the small shop that smelled like benzene, which was quite satisfying by his surprise. He put on the electricity, lights flicked before properly filling the dull space with bright light.

Baek put off his backpack tossing it aside and stretched out his arms with a soft groan, his cape slipped off of his head revealing his white like first snow hair. Running his fingers through it a couple of times he walked outside, cars were riding pass the station as if it wasn't even there making him sigh. The boy had a snapback in his hands that he rapidly tucked his white messy strands in. He hated when people stared at his white hair as if they never saw someone with bleached hair. Though Baekhyun's hair was far from bleached, it was already like this when he mysteriously woke up in the woods not far from the station, only one thought about the past triggered a cold shiver up his spine.

He snapped out of thoughts as a car stopped in front of him, it was pretty big and black, a Range Rover of some sort. It had some scratches and dips in it here and there.

The boy approached the car and lowered his head, leaning an arm on the car and peeking into the open window.

"How May I help you?"

The male in the car had a friendly soft smile. "Ah, a full tank would be nice.." He said in a surprisingly low voice that didn't match his facial features at all.

"Coming right up" Baek smiled back and disappeared out of the male's view, getting to work. He did everything pretty quickly. The boy glanced over his shoulder when he heard the door of the car open and close. The male stepped out of it and walked around shaking up his long and tired legs to get rid off the tension in them. It seemed like he had a long ride or something.

"Had a long ride?" Baek asked suddenly, he had a habit of making small talks with people he served, always ending up hearing some interesting news.

"Huh?" The male blinked and shook his head as if he wasn't aware of the fact that Baek was talking to him. "No, not really, just returning from the west woods"

Baekhyun gulped down a lump of air and smiled forcefully."I see.." He mumbled and fixed his snapback before getting back to work.

"Uh-huh.." Chan mumbled and stretched out his arms. "This car is just too uncomfortable for my size, my legs get sore pretty quickly." He mumbled. Baekhyun could only nod and close the gas tank after he finished filling it up.

"Alright all done, that'll be 35 355 won please" The tall man nodded and took out his wallet. "Oh do you have any water here?" He asked suddenly.

"Yeah sure.." Baekhyun nodded and pointed at the door of the shop.

"Ah thanks I'll go search for it then.." The guy bowed politely and walked pass Baekhyun and whoa, the stranger was tall, even taller than Baek thought he would be before he was closer to him. "Oh, the second shelve from the right" He called in case the driver doesn't find what he wants. "Yep thanks.." He received in reply.

Baekhyun glanced at the car one more time, after getting more description of where the driver was, he noticed that the car was pretty dirty too. "Hm" He soon followed the male into the shop and went to stand at the cash register. He leaned his head in his hands while glancing around the shop, finding it funny how the messy hair of the stranger was seen above the shelves when he wandered around.

"Found it?" He asked loud enough for the other to hear him, the silence he got in reply took him by surprise. Baekhyun walked out from behind the counter and and slowly made his way in between the shelves, his heart was skipping a beat upon a beat. "Hello?" He frowned and finally made his way to the shelves with drinks and alcohol.

His eyes widened seeing the guy on the floor, the bottle rolled out of his big palm. Baekhyun rushed to the male and squatted down next to him, his worried eyes flicking around the taller male's body. "Hey are you okay?" He reached out his hand to his neck in order to check his pulse, and in a matter of seconds the taller grabbed his wrist and yanked him down onto the floor. Baekhyun could only yelp when his cheek was pushed up against the floor, he could feel the taller guy's knee on his spine and his wrists being held tightly behind his back.

"Let me go!!" The smaller started to struggle in agony trying to shake the male off on top of him. His eyes widened feeling a cold needle push up against the skin on the side of his neck and pierce through it like it was nothing. Baekhyun gritted his teeth with a hiss and struggled even more. Soon his vision consisted of blurred out spots and his body didn't listen to his mind just letting him lay there limp on the floor. His heavy eyelids soon collapsed, his mind leaving him, everything was slipping away from him leaving him in complete darkness and silence.
