Next Door

The person then covered your mouth, trying muffle down your voice but you were freaking out and bite his palm.

He reeks of alcohol.

The person hissed because of the pain and let you go. "Bitch, that hurt as fuck.", he said.

You recognised that voice and when you were about to run away the man pull you again. It was your abusive ex-boyfriend.

"If you shout again, I'll beat you up.", he said as he pushed you against the wall in the alley.

"What do you want?", you bravely ask him though you were scared of him. You should not be scared of him anymore. He is no one and he cannot hurt you anymore. He can't hurt me anymore, you told yourself. You tried to push him away from you but he was too strong.

"Stop it!", he said and slammed your back onto the wall and slapped your face. The slap hurt so much and it stings. You could taste a little blood in your mouth and as you faced him to slap him back, his hand was already reach your chin. "Didn't I tell you to not run away from me? How dare you!", he brought it closer to his face.

"Fuck off!", you kicked his shin and he dropped on the floor because of the pain. As he let go of you, you quickly run away towards your home. However, he was quick on his feet. When you turn around he was almost half way to you.

Quickly, you ran upstairs to your door and unlock the door. As soon as you open the door, someone pushed you inside which made you tripped and bump onto your flower pot. It made a loud crash. Before you could processes what was happening, you fell something blunt hit you on the head and drop on the floor.

Hyunwoo was washing the dishes as he heard the next door key lock beep. He look at the time on the wall it was almost midnight and shook his head. It was late and dangerous for a woman like you to come home.

Every morning he went out early to jog around the town and came home past working hours. By the time, he knew you already went to work. He work too but he barely have to step out from the house. Most of his works required him to work from home which is he is thankful for. He just need to be in the studio once in a while. At least, he has his basic equipments that he needs.

He choose to rent in this neighbourhood because it is unnecessary loud like the big city. It was not quiet but it was not loud which is just nice.

He still could not forget the day he move in next to your house. Normally, people would upset and annoyed to come home with a few boxes blocking your way after a tiring day at work but you are not. From the way you stood and the way your eyes look, he knew you were tired but you were still polite. Like, the way you asks about those boxes that were blocking your way.

"She shouldn't be home that late.", Hyunwoo sigh as he rinse his dishes before putting it aside to wipe it dry. He was about to switch off the light in the kitchen area then he heard something crash coming from your house. He tried to shake it off, maybe she accidentally drop something. Then, he heard a loud thump on the wall before he heard your scream. Quickly, he unlock the door and went straight to your door. Thank goodness the door was unlock.

As he entered the house, he saw a few drops of blood at the entrance and some of the blood smeared on the wall. He saw the crashed flower pot on the floor and quickly running inside without any thought. There, he saw a man on top of you who were lying on the ground. He was chocking you as you were struggling to escape from his grip.

"You piece of shit!", Hyunwoo shout which made the man startled because of the sudden presence.

"Who the fu-", Before the man could even stand up to attack him, Hyunwoo launched a punch on his face which made him stumble a few steps back. "Pick your own size, fucker.", Hyunwoo growled at him.

He made his way towards Hyunwoo in an attempt to attack him again but failed when Hyunwoo managed to block his punch. Hyunwoo grabbed the same arm that the man use to throw a punch and make a twist before throwing him on the floor. The man groaned in pain.

Seeing the man laid on the floor in pain because of his act previously, Hyunwoo grabbed him by the collar off his shirt and throw some punches on his face. The man was beaten badly and he could barely open his eyes. Hyunwoo really did him some numbers. The man probably ended up with a broken nose too.

Slowly, Hyunwoo stood up and made his way towards you who where crying in the corner, scared for your life. He approached and crouched at your level and still mind the gap between you and him, to make you feel comfortable and less terrified.

His deep and low voice turns into a husky one as he call for your name. You did not respond to him and he try again a few time, did not forget to mention his name too, just in case. Slowly you lift up your face and you saw him in front of you. He was close to you and he was being careful. Trying to not freak you out.

He saw a few cuts and bruises on your pretty face. Before he could reach out, you throw yourself on him, hugging him. For once, you feel save in a man arms. As for now you could careless what he think about you, you just need to feel safe at the moment.

Hyunwoo was surprise with the sudden hug but he did not complain. To your surprise, he wrapped his arms around you too, it made you calm down. His palm went up and down on your back.

"Everything is okay now.", Hyunwoo trying to assure you and he could feel that you nods against his chest. Not letting you go, he took out his phone in his pocket and dial 119.

You were hospitalised for a few days and Hyunwoo never fail to visit you.

"You're not working today?", you asks on the first day he visited you in the hospital. It was afternoon and you are quite sure he should be working right now because it was not even lunch time yet.

"My time of working is flexible, no worries.", he smiles. He look more beautiful when he smile like that. His eye-smiles is the cutest. "I worked from home anyway. Just need to went out a few times.", he added and you nods.

The doctor delivered you a good news. You can be discharge today. You were done changing into your own clothes and slowly tidying some of your stuffs on the bedside desk. You had no choice but to move slowly because your body still aches from the incident.

As for your ex-boyfriend, he was was arrested. That is all you wanted to know and it is all matter. Thank goodness that no legal action are taken against Hyunwoo because it was basically a self defence though he did give your ex-boyfriend a few bruises.

"Why don't you wait for me?", the familiar deep voice startled you and made you jump a bit. "Oh, sorry.", he smile sheepishly.

"Ready to go home?", he asked and you nods. He took the bag that had a few of your stuffs from your hand. It was not heavy at all but he insisted on carrying it for you.

"I think you should stay in my house for a few days.", he said. You gave him a look, wondering why. "Your house was a mess with the bloods all over the place. I don't think it's a good idea.", he add.

"It's okay, I can clean it up."

"Like this?", he scoffs. "You should rest. Me and my friend would clean it all up. Just tell us the do's and don'ts."

"There's nothing much.", you said. Both of you was silent until you both reach his house. As soon as he closed the door, you turn around and faced him.

"Why?", he asks.

"Thank you so much.", you smiles. "You save my life.", you added.

"You're welcome.", he shyly smiles back at you.
