Sequel Fizzle Out : Love Me Harder

Part 5

At 6 o'clock in the evening, Baekhyun comes home. He is walking along the alley when a commotion breaks his peaceful evening. Indeed, the source of the commotion is from his house. Baekhyun stands at the house gate and there are furniture like sofa, couch and coffee table scattered around at his house compound. The argument between the people inside his house does not cease. They are ready to slice each other's throat. Baekhyun brave himself to enter the house.

"I'm home," Baekhyun greets his stepmother and three strangers in the living room. they ignore Baekhyun and one of the strangers starts to speak. He is the biggest and sturdiest among them. perhaps, he is the leader. Plus, he is the scariest one.

"who are you guys? Why do you destroy our belongings?"

"if the two of you tell me where is the bastard hiding, then I will not touch anything!" the scariest man growls.

"who is bastard? I don't think we know this bastard that you are talking," Baekhyun retorts.

"don't act like a dumb !" he chokes Baekhyun's neck.

"I'm talking about Baekbeom! He borrowed _ won from me and until now he has not repay it!" baekhyun tries to unclasp the man's grip from his neck but it was futile.

"I... really ...don't know... where is him...please...let me go..." baekhyun begs as gasping for air.

The man removes his hands from Baekhyun's neck. Baekhyun's legs wobble and he tumbles to the floor. there are red hand print around his neck, indicates that he had just being choked.

"remember, I come again tomorrow and make sure you have the money!" he hisses and gets out of the house with his subordinates. One of them kicks the vase on their way to the door until it falls and breaks into pieces.

"baekbeom, why do you love to put me in troubles?" dasom grunts.

"hey,Baekhyun! clear all this mess !" she commands while pointing at the mess on the floor. The man and his subordinates broke few things in the living room.

" I am going to the town tonight. I will sell my jewelleries. And you, Byun Baekhyun, withdraw all your savings to pay Baekbeom's debt!" she says as she walking upstairs.

"what? No,ahjumma. I won't do that," Baekhyun hisses with gritted teeth. He has been working his ass off to collect many for his baby. If the loan shark wants his money back, go find Baekbeom, not him.

"the money I save is for my child!" baekhyun states coherently.

"fine. Don't come cry to me when they burn down this house,"

"one more thing, give him money tomorrow or he will force us into prostitution. He owns a few brothels in korea," dasom enter her room and shuts the door.

That night, dasom and Baekhyun manages to collect half of the total amount. Nothing left in Baekhyun's and Dasom's account. Besides, Dasom also sells all her jewelleries to get the cash. They pay half of the amount the next day and beg to prolong the duration to pay the rest of the loan. The loan shark grants their wish but he increases the interest.

Baekhyun is sitting on the bench outside the toilet, resting himself after cleaning all the toilet stalls. Xiumin comes out of the toilet and sits next to Baekhyun.

" you seem off these days. What's wrong?" xiumin asks worriedly. Xiumin is a cleaner too. Today, he and Baekhyun are assigned to clean the toilet at the second floor of the mall.

"everything is wrong,hyung," Baehkyun replies sadly. He rubs his baby bump with gloomy expression.

" you can tell me what is disturbing you. it's not good for your baby if you stress," xiumin is the only one who is kind to Baekhyun in the agency. It is because Baekhyun is pregnant without a husband, making him hard to make a friend in the agency. His colleagues accuse him a whore or even better, a mistress. Xiumin does not mind Baekhyun's status. Working while having a baby is hard for Baekhyun. that's why when Baekhyun cannot do the cleaning job,Xiumin will cover it for him. xiumin even buys Baekhyun's craving food because sometimes Baekhyun craves for something hard to get.
