[UNION] Are You Still Mine || KYUNGIN/ KAISOO

15

"So what do you think would it do, Baekhyun, huh? Would it bring him back," Kyungsoo snarls and grabs Baekhyun by the collar, who only giggles and looks away as if he's not hearing anything.

Jongin stops at Baekhyun's room's doorway to see what was the noise all about, but he rushes to hide behind the wall when Baekhyun's eyes suddenly meet his. If his heart is beating, it would've been racing a mile now.

"Would it bring him back?!" Kyungsoo questions once again as he throws Baekhyun to his own bed. Baekhyun only glares up at him and hisses.

"It wouldn't!" Baekhyun yells. "It fucking wouldn't, Kyungsoo, is that what you want to hear?!"

"Yes, it is, but you should learn from this, Baek! He wouldn't come back anymore. He wouldn't love you again, if he really ever did. So you should stop hurting yourself for it, and move on!"

"Move on?" Baekhyun questions. "Move on? That's so easy to say for you, Kyungsoo! You never lost someone you love. That's why you don't know how it feels!"

"Do you even know me?" Kyungsoo asks as his eyebrows meet in obvious anger, starting to growl out his words as he loses his temper. "My father hated me, because I'm a hybrid and because my mother died while giving birth to me. Hell, he would use any time he can to try and kill me, Baekhyun! But he always fails, yet you know what happened? He still saved me from those hybrid hunters. He saved me who he claims to hate the most. So now tell me, do I not know the feeling, of being left by someone important to me..?! Do I not know how it feels, when someone doesn't stay true to his words and lie?! He said he hates me, but he saved me! Chanyeol said he loves you, but what did he fucking do, huh?! Leave you alone when you couldn't beg for him to stay?!"

Baekhyun bursts into tears and buries his face in his hands. "I love him!" he chokes out. "You can't just tell me to stop wanting him and expect I would. I love him and I can't do anything, okay? I can't fucking do anything! I want him back, I want him to love me.. Would I have those?! No!"

"So you will forget him, Baekhyun!"

"You think it's that easy?! It's easy for you because you don't fucking know love!"

"Right," Kyungsoo says and nods, crossing his arms over his chest. "I don't know love. Maybe that's it. Maybe that's why. Baekhyun, I know that it must be hard, it must hurt so much. But you need to stand and move on. You won't go anywhere if you keep carrying with you those memories and emotions.."

"You won't go anywhere, Kyungsoo.. Because you have neither. I don't want to be like that. I want to be a person capable of loving, capable of caring, capable of expecting a good thing out of something.. Not something like you.."

"You know it, right? If you care too much, you'll get hurt. If you expect too much, you'll get hurt. If you love too much, you'll get hurt. Baekhyun, don't you remember that those three are dangerous? Baekhyun, you need to be stronger than that. You need to overcome yourself. You need to be everything your mind tells you to be. Stay away from those distractions. Keep yourself in mind. Baekhyun, only you can tell where's the path your life is going to go. Don't waste it on crying over a person who'll never deserve you.."

Baekhyun looks up at Kyungsoo and blinks slowly as tears stream down his face. Baekhyun lifts his hands and wipes his own tears. "But why.. Why.. can't we have what we want.. Why can't we love and be loved just like that? Why.. does it have to hurt..? Why does it have to break.. b-break someone's heart so b-bad.."

"You'll learn from here, Baekhyun. I know you'd surely feel lonely and want Chanyeol again but remember this.. Chanyeol is gone from your life.. A whole new place is waiting for you and you need to stay strong. You need to be strong firstly for yourself. I know there's so much you want to fight for, Baekhyun. So if you want to fight for what you believe? You need to build yourself up from here. Let go of what keeps you down. You don't need to stay like this, Baekhyun. It all depends on you.."

There's a rustle of sheets, and Jongin holds his breath when he hears the sound of kissing, looking down and running to his own bedroom before he's caught.

* * * * *

"What is your relationship with Master, Baekhyun hyung?" Jongin asks as he sits on the corner of Yixing's dance room beside Baekhyun.

"Hm?" Baekhyun hums absentmindedly as he locks his phone and turns to Jongin. "I'm his future hybrid. He's the one who turned me to a hybrid."

"A-Are you friends, hyung?"

"Yeah.. Yeah, maybe," Baekhyun says and chuckles. "Maybe.."

"Friends with benefits?" Jongin inquires, making Baekhyun stop.

"You heard what happened last night," Baekhyun says in concern, ending as a statement more than a question.

Jongin nods as a response and looks down, holding his face towel in his hands as he rests his forearms over his folded legs.

"So you.. you know what.. happened?"

"D-Do you like Master, hyung?"

Baekhyun looks down and smiles. "Would it matter?" he asks before averting his gaze back to Jongin. "Your master.. doesn't want his feelings to interfere with decisions.. So.. he never wants to even.. like someone.. So you," Baekhyun starts as he looks down at Jongin's nose and lips. ".. don't fall inlove with him, okay? Please don't break your heart.. It hurts real bad," Baekhyun carefully says.

"So do you like him or not?" Jongin insists his question as he frowns. "Did you just avoid my question, Baekhyun hyung?"

"No, I didn't," Baekhyun says and sighs, leaning to Jongin's shoulders. "To be honest? Yes, I kinda like Kyungsoo. I don't mean to be a hypocrite here, okay? I just.. you know, I feel how he wants to pull me up from where.. uhm.. from where I fell? He wants me to be strong for myself.. I like him because of that. He's like a parent to me.."

Jongin frowns and looks over at Baekhyun on his shoulders and chuckles. "Parent?"

"Yeah.." Baekhyun answers. "Parent. I like him because he's like a parent to me.."

Jongin is slightly confused if he shall consider that liking or looking up to a parent-like person, but he lets that thought go for the sake of standing up and going back to dancing.

* * * * *

Jongin's eyes widen as he senses Baekhyun entering his room and going closer to him.

If Kyungsoo enters his room, there's only one reason and that's to use him, so Jongin panics for a small moment before he feels Baekhyun hugging him and sniffling.

"B-Baekhyun hyung?" Jongin asks as he tries to calm Baekhyun by rubbing his back. "Hyung, what's the problem?" Jongin looks down at Baekhyun and sees the blood that escapes from some of his deep wounds. "Hyung, you're bleeding!" Jongin exclaims.

Jongin hears rather than sees Baekhyun wiping his tears with his fingers as he hiccups.

"Don't mind it.. J-Just let me c-cry here, please.."

Jongin bites on the inside of his cheeks in concern before he whispers a soft and hesitant 'okay'.
