Psycho 2 - 백현

Chapter 23

"W-What happened next?" You asked shivering. Baekhyun slowly grabbed your hand, not willing the others to notice, but he failed. They noticed. Lay looked at the skinship before continuing the story. His true happened story. "They took him to a psychic institution. They thought he would get better with some therapy, but it even got worse. He got extremely mad at you and he told us that if he got out he'll ruin your life like you did by him. It wasn't sure that he could get out, because his therapist was awfully murdered. Everyone knows it's him, but the police got no prove, so they closed the case unsolved. Unfortunately... Because of that, he got out. Also because they could no longer keep him. They saw in the notes of his murdered therapist that he was better, but it was fake. The notes were fake. No one said something about it, although everyone knew it. So he got out of the psychic institution. If only the police had investigated a little further... But no, they didn't."

This part was more scarier than watching a horrormovie with the devil itself. "B-But-B-But-" You stuttered, but didn't know what to say. Your eyes went to Lay and asked him with your gaze to continue. He understood the hint and did what you asked. The others weren't saying anything and kept listening. All of them thinking something different.

"Since he's out, he probably did what he said he would do: getting revenge. At first he disappeared and nobody heard something of him for 4 months. We all assumed he leaved the country and we would never see him again, but one day he contacted me, threatening me with some videos he had of me. I don't know how he got those, but I had to do what he asked to do. He asked me to help him find you. It wasn't hard because Baekhyun told you about SM and then there you were, doing audition. I thought that I would be done if I helped him. I still had no idea about his plan. He told me he wanted to apologize so I thought he wouldn't do anything wrong. I didn't know he would want to harm you, but the worst part was that later he said I wasn't done at all and that I needed to attack you. I then told Baekhyun the whole story and he said I better didn't do it, but I got scared when he threatened me with those videos again. If those videos ever come out I'll be death in five minutes." He shivered when he thought about it, but soon after that he sat on his knees in front of you. "T-The first attack was me, the one in the street. I-I-I'm really sorry. I didn't want it, but... I know I can't make up to you, but please accept this apology." He didn't dare to look at you.

There was a little moment of silence, but you broke it with your answer. "It's fine." Everybody looked at you in surprise. They didn't expect you to forgive him that easily. "W-What?" Lay said with wide eyes. He thought you would never forgive him, but he was wrong. "I'm already over that moment, please continue." You answered. You want to know the whole story.

Lay got up again and continued: "Some weeks ago, before you disappeared, there was a family meeting and because his parents live here, in Korea, only half of the family came. I was there too and I didn't expect him to show up, because he's the black sheep of the family and isn't loved by much family members, but he actually came. From the moment he stepped inside the house, everybody kept silence and he got mad, because they were all staring at him. He cursed at everyone and my uncle grabbed him by his collar. He dropped his phone and that's when I grabbed it and deleted the videos. The next days I didn't hear anything of him, but apparently he followed me around. He wanted to make new videos of me although I don't do illegal things and follow the rules.When he saw me hanging out with you and Baek, he got more mad. Frightening you to death wasn't enough for him and he decided to attack you again, but this time he had a knife."

You shivered. You know. That's how you got the scarf. You raised you shirt up a little and you looked at it, but couldn't see it properly because Baekhyun grabbed your hand, the one who was on your shirt, and gently, but quickly leaded it down again. The touch on your hand made you shy and the words he said didn't help: "No need to undress unless it's for my eyes only."

Your cheeks got on fire and the others awkwardly stared at the two of you. Baekhyun ignored all of them and raised an eyebro at Chanyeol who was staring too much. You ignored everything and asked Lay a few questions, but you couldn't escape the fear in your body and voice: "D-Do you know where he is now? Or w-what he'll do if he sees me again? He won't k-kill me right?"

Lays eyes met yours. He doesn't know how scared you are, but what he does know is that he doesn't want to scare you more, so he changed the words in his mind a little before he said them. "I don't really know where he is, but the police is chasing him. He's mentally ill and I don't know what he will do, so you better stay hiden. It's for the best."

Everything was said and Baekhyun told everyone to leave the two of you alone for a moment. Everyone leaved the room. You placed your head on his shoulder and squeezed your boyfriends hand. Baek came closer to your ear with his mouth. His soft voice spoke really quiet, but his words comforted you. "I know it's a lot to take in, but remember that we're always here for you. Especially me."
