Titanium Love ~ Hunhan ~ Fanfiction

Chapter 18

Chanyeol's POV

White snowflakes fell the day my dad ran away.

All that was left was my broken mother and a dead house.

Everything was silent except for my mother's shushed sobs.

My brother was still at daycare and I had come home early from school.

I was at a lost so I decided to go to the park.

In the winter, everything was abandoned.

The park was empty except for a small kid sitting on the swings.

I wanted to go on the swings, and nothing was going to stop me.

I sat on the swings and he looked at me.

He blinked as I swung back and forth.

"Did your mommy yell at you too?" He asked quietly.

"No, I left on my own," I kept swinging while I answered.

"My mommy wished she's never had me," he hung his head down.

"I guess we're on the same track." I replied and he smiled.

"Who needs them anyways!" He got up and offered me his hand.

I stopped swinging and took it.

After the winter passed, we had built snow mans, snow forts and watched the snowflakes fall together.

When the snow melted, so did he.

He had left without saying a word and after days of waiting there by myself, I gave up.

I pulled up by the flashing red dot on my phone and tried to concentrate.

Why am I having flashbacks of my pitiful childhood now?

Except that winter was my most treasured memory.

I got out of my car and walked to the small convenient store.

When I went inside I saw something that resembled Sehun.

His hair was dyed a light brown and he was smiling at children while selling them their lollipops.

When the kids left I kept staring at the register.

He looked so kind, so happy.

Like all the things that hurt him had left him.

But I can't let him stay here.

What about Luhan?

I walked up and stared into his eyes.

"Can I help you?" He smiled and spoke.

His eyes weren't dead like they used to be.

But they weren't as alive as they looked when they saw Luhan.

I looked at his name tag that said "Jae".

"Do you remember me?" I asked.

"I don't think we've ever met." He smiled. "Were you looking for anything specific?"

"When do you get off work?"

"Um, in an hour. Why?"

"I'll wait for you."

He just looked at me weird and shrugged.

So innocent and unsuspecting.

It's people like that that are preyed on.
