A harsh slapping sound rung out through the room as a hand came down on him as thunder would, not recoiling to the cry
of despair let out by the young
woman, watching the scene
before her in horror.

"Baekhyun!" She screamed.

Unable to believe what she had just seen, the woman slowly brought one of her hands to cover her mouth, shocked.

She was trying to hide it as best she could, but in vain. Her distress was so apparent at this point, that there was no point concealing it.

Meanwhile her son, also transfixed with shock, slowly brought one of his hands to his cheek.

He softly caressed it in a half conscious state, as if to make sure that the blow had indeed been directed at him, and that he wasn’t just dreaming.

She wasted no time running to him, and held his frail figure warily in her arms.

She held him as tight as she could without stifling him- but just enough to make him feel protected from all the evil
in the world.

"What the hell was that for?! Are you crazy?!" she yelled in outrage, glaring at her husband with an immense fury.

Judging by the terrifying expression that her husband bore, she knew that Baekhyun wasn’t yet out of harm’s way.

She held her beloved child even closer as any protective mother would do, glowering at the man.

"Get away from him" he ordered firmly, voice tinged with unmoving calmness.

Both of them locked eyes and neither was willing to back down.

What they had started was a silent battle;

a war where only their eyes could fight and only their eyes could harm.

But the woman was not intimidated. Not even a tiny bit. She held her gaze defiantly, arching her brow to mark her lack of understanding.

She raised her voice even more, practically screaming at her husband.

"And why would I, hm?! Tell me, what’s with your attitude all of a sudden?!’

She placed her son’s head against her chest as she spoke, holding him softly like she used to do to calm him when he was a child.

Just when she thought he would back down, the man being none other than her husband began moving towards them very aggressively.

His fists were as tight as his jaw, and that did not bode well for them, she thought to herself.

"I said, get away from him."

She didn’t even have time to respond as within seconds, he was standing right in front of her and had already gripped her arm to throw her aside.

It was so violent that she found herself propelled backwards, losing her balance and thus leaving her son in his clutches.

"What the hell’s wrong with you?!" she shouted in anger, unable to comprehend what was happening.

This time, only silence answered her.

No words were spoken after she had hit the floor, and although the silence only lasted a few seconds, it felt like an
eternity to the youngest.

Amid the deafening pause, a voice eventually rose, breaking the silence that had settled with words that would break baekhyun’s heart.

ords used broke Baekhyun's heart.

"There's no way I'll let a monster like him live under my roof."
