Ch. 83: Him [TW]

A/N: Hello, your gurl is finally back after going on a brief hiatus because of finals. I'm back now and will be trying to update a lot (across all of my works) during my spring break. 

Hyunwoo

~a few days later~

~after school~

"Kihyun ah, you got mail. I put it in your room," Mrs. Yoo says as we were going up the stairs.

"Thanks, Eomma," Kihyun calls out. Once inside his room, I closed the door behind us before going to lay down on his bed. Kihyun finds the mail on his bed and takes a seat before picking up the mail. I put my left arm behind my head and laid against it before pulling out my phone and started to scroll through Instagram. 

"Hmm, I wonder who it could be. There is no name," Kihyun hums. He tears it open and pulls out the envelope before taking it out to read. Seconds later, Kihyun screams, "No!" Then, he started to have trouble breathing. I was alarmed to say the least and toss my phone away before sitting up and taking him into my arms. 

"Ki, what happened?! Breath for me, Baby. Breathe. Calm down," I said worriedly as I pulled him onto my lap and held him tighter. 

"I. Can't. Breathe," he struggles to say as he was now hyperventilating.

 "It's okay. Hyung is here. Breathe," I whispered as I rubbed circles into his back. 

"He. He. Hyung, I- I'm scared," he wheezes and clings onto me tightly. 

"What? Who are you talking about? Did he send that letter," I asked.

"Don't make me talk about it, Hyung. I'm scared. I'm so scared. He is back. I can't- I need to go- I need to get away," he cries against my chest. With each word and sob, it felt like needles were stabbing me in the heart. 

"Okay, baby. I won't. Just focus on breathing for me, okay? I will protect you. There is no need to run. I'm here, baby. Hyung will protect you from him," I whispered into his ear and pressed a kiss to the part where his neck meets his shoulders. 

"Will you," he asks in a shaky and small voice.

"Of course, Ki. I won't let him get to you," I promised. 

"Really," he asks while shaking in my arms. I pulled him away from myself and cups both of his cheeks with my hands before wiping away the tears spilling out of his honey brown eyes. 

"Ki, when have I ever lied to you, huh? If I said it, then I mean it," I stated firmly while maintaining eye contact with him. He stifles a sob and bites his lower lip before shaking his head. I smiled at him warmly and hugged him again not wanting to let go of him out of fear. 

His smol body shakes in fear. Cries escape his lips every now and then. My shirt gets damper with each teardrop that falls from his eyes. He hides his face against my neck and returns my hug with an even tighter embrace.

In the back of my mind, I can register that him holding me that tight hurt but it didn't matter. I then reach for the letter that had set him off and was fuming by the time that I finished reading it. I crumbled it up and threw it somewhere before whispering words of comfort and sweet nothings to him. 

Whoever you are...you better not let me catch you...
