#104: Xiumin's Pov
When I look at you I can only think
'I really love you'. Sometimes you just laugh, cry or get angry and even in that moment I still love you.
Maybe we'll meet again when we are older and our minds less hectic. I'll be there for you and you'll be here for me but right now I am a chaos to your thoughts and you are a poison to my heart.
I never thought I'll be the one saying goodbye.
Ever since our trip I've been avoiding him and he noticed. Every day I'll get late at home and avoid talking to him. I know I can't run away forever.
"Minseok, can we talk?" Jong Dae was sitting on our table.
I just got home from work and he waited for me. I needed to put an end to this.
It was serious since he never calls me by my name unsless it's something important.
"So what do you want to talk about?" I sat infront of him.
"Minseok, every day you arrive late, you won't talk to me. Did I do something wrong? Minseok are you cheating on me? Because right now I don't know what to think" he spoke so fast, he was angry and he looked hurt.
I wanted to say that everything was ok but if don't end this we won't be able to move on
"I'm not cheating on you. I just don't want to see you" It hurts so much to say this.
"If I did something wrong just say it dammit! You know I'm the most understanding person but when you keep things for yourself it's also hard for me" He yelled
I wanted to tell him the truth but then again I didn't say anything.
"You didn't do anything. I just got tired of this, tired of us" I clenched my fits helplessly
"What?" he stuttered
"After all this years I realized that we aren't meant to be together. Our trip open my eyes. We both knew this wouldn't last forever" I smiled bitterly
I was holding my tears back, my heart atched so much.
"Then 10 years for you doesn't mean anything? Are you serious Minseok? After all this years you say something like this?" Jong Dae was about to cry
I wanted to hug him. Tell me him that I was lying but then again I couldn't do it. I didn't want to force him doing something he didn't want.
"Well you were the only one who would fall for someone like me. I admit I did love you but now not anymore" I crossed my arms
He stood up next to me and leaned close to me, I could feel his stares.
"Say it to my face. Tell me you don't love me anymore. Look at my eyes and say it" he started crying.
"I don't love you" I stared at his eyes. My throat hurt as if someone was trying to choke me.
He cried and lock himself in our bedroom.
Now I did it, I finally free ourselves from my selfishness but why can't I stop crying?
A few days after our discussion I started wrapping my stuff. I will move back with my parents.
"So it's like this? We are over just like this?" I heard Jong Dae's voice behind me.
"Don't worry I'll be gone right away" I took some of the boxes outside.
It didn't took me long to get all my stuff out.
"Well thanks for all this years. I hope you'll be happy" I smiled forcefully
I was about to go when Jong Dae hold my wrist.
"I'll just ask you this one last time. Do you love me?" He was trembling
"I did long time ago but we have different point of views. I really want you to be happy Jong Dae" I wanted to hug him but I shook his hand away.
After putting all my stuff in the car, I was preparing to start up when I saw a photo of the two of us.
I burst in tears. I don't know how long I stayed there but it felt like ages.
I thought you'll run after me and beg me to stay but I was the one who should've fought.
#301: Baekhyun's Pov
Every time I see you I fall in love all over again.
Chanyeol and have been dating for two weeks but somehow it felt way longer. We act like always just that now we are a couple.
Just holding hands makes me so happy, I may sound cheesy but when he holds me I feel like I can face the world along with him.
Sometimes he tries to sneak a peck while we are working but I push him embarrassed.
I was on my way to work walking happily but alone, Chanyeol said he had to deliver newspapers.
He still had many part time jobs to support the school. I wanted to do something for him and for Mrs Park too.
I was thinking of taking out the trash and clean up a little
I was about to open the office when I heard someone screaming
"Stop" I heard
I pushed the door and saw Mrs Park on the ground and my aunt trying to protect her. A strange man was about to hit them.
I rushed and did a jiujitsu hold, the man fell down.
"What the hell do you think you are doing? Bastard" I growled angrily
"Baekhyun please stop" both begged.
Before I could do something he punched me. I was bleeding and he run away.
"Are you ok honey?" my aunt asked scared
"Who was that?" I whipped the blood.
"Are you ok sweetie?" Mrs Park help me to get up
"Aunt what are you doing here? Do you two know each other?" I asked
"You see....we are childjood friends" my aunt smiled forcefully
"That's why you didn't give me any information about the school when I asked you. Great now you two explain yourselves. Who was that and what's going on? I'm not going anywhere until you two speak" I demanded.
I don't know why but I felt so weak I wanted to protect them, protect Chanyeol.
"Baek, my husband and I were childhood friends. We got married and the doctor said I couldn't have kids. So my husband and I adopted Chanyeol, we wanted to raise him. At the same time we took him in, we opened this kindergarten but this building had many problems and we couldn't afford it. So he got a loan. My husband got sick around the time that Chanyeol was a teenager. He died when Chanyeol got in Highschool. Then the loan passed to me. I couldn't face it and through the years it increased and now their leader wants us to pay or he will destroy our school. He suddenly wanted this land and around three years ago his men start visiting us, scaring the kids and teachers. Only Chanyeol and I remain here. Chanyeol gave up on college, studies, he tried so hard to pay the debt but it's never enough. Before you came one of the leaders men came and warned us. We only have one more week or we'll regret it" The principal cried.
"Aunt can't we do something? Maybe the police? We have to do something" I hold her hand desperately
"I can't do anything Baek. The man who wants this land is my ex husband. I met him when I was young, we secretly got married but the families didn't aprove. A young lady with a ganster, back then he was only a member but even the leader didn't aprove our relationship. Your grandpa kicked me put of the house and send me to England, I only came back after he passed away. While Youngjae-ssi was beaten up by his own gang. Their leader died almost at the same time as your grandpa. Youngjae-ssi became the leader after it. We met again when Mr Park died I begged him to help Mrs Park but the household refused, the debt needs to be payed off. He won't accept my money. He said it's his duty. Neither of us married after it. I can't hate him Baek we used to love each other and even after all this time I do love him. He must have forgotten about me but it's ok someday maybe another time in another place we'll be together" My aunt smiled but her eyes look so sad. I've never seen her like that.
"Maybe you two can't do anything but I can. Sorry aunt but can you replace me just for today? I need to go somewhere" I rushed outside before they could stop me.
There's only someone who can help me.
I arrived infront of Byun and Sons company. My family owns an important empire from entertaiment to supermarkets.
"Hello sir how can I help you?" one of the secretaries asked me after I got in
"Hello is Mr Byun here? I need to talk to him" I asked
"Sorry sir but do you have an appointment?" the lady asked me
"I don't need one. I'm the CEO's son. Byun Baekhyun" I said
"Young master" My dad's asistant appeared and greeted me.
He then whispered something to that lady
"I'm extremely sorry sir" She bowed
"Don't worry it's ok. Mr Jung where is my father?" I asked
"Your father it's in his office but he'll have a meeting soon. Why don't you wait until he finishes?
I think he is free after it. I could make a reservation in a magnificent restaurant..." Mr Jung started talking but I interrupt him.
"Sorry I'll just wait for him. Tell him I'll be in his office" I said
"As you wish" he bowed again
I was getting impatient, I was waisting time. I didn't want to ask my old man but I couldn't let them suffer any longer.
Mrs Park, Chanyeol and even my aunt were suffering. I had to do something.
I stood up when I saw my dad closing the door.
"What a surprise son? So what brings you here? Are you sick of babysitting?" Dad smirked
"Dad please help me" I clenched my fits annoyed
"Wow you must be in trouble if you are being so polite" he sat on his comfy chair and started at me
"Dad this is serious." I glared
"What? You and that guy are not dating for real? I knew it. Did you think I was stupid or what? I knew you were doing it just to annoy me" he took a sip of his coffee
He is still the same cold old man
"I love him. We just started dating for real" I said
"What's this about? Do you want my approval? Just do whatever you want. I don't care anymore" he shrugged
"Just shut up and listen! I want you to pay off the kindergarten's debt" I said
He then laugh
"Baekhyun are you really asking for something like this? You've changed. Now you can even tell jokes. Did you talk to your aunt? She told you she couldn't pay it and begged to ask me? I won't give anything to those bastards. They almost destroyed our household and our reputation when she got married" My dad started getting angry
"I'm not doing it for her. I'm doing it for him. Please father I'm begging you I'll do anything you say" I kneel down
"Byun baekhyun get up now" he yelled
"Save them please" I start crying
This was so humiliating but I needed to do it. I had to save them.
My dad stayed quiet for a while and then he made me stood up.
"I'll save them but I have some conditions" He frown
"Ok" I whipped my tears
"First come back and work here. Second come back to the household.
and finally break up with him" He calmly stated his conditions
"Dad" I cried out
"If you don't do any of these, I won't help them" he shrugged
I didn't want to leave him, I didn't want to stay away from him, I love him but if this will help them, then...
"I'll do it" I burst in tears.
"I know where to find that bastard. Go and pick everything. I'll pick you up this afternoon be ready by 6 pm" He patted my shoulder and then my legs failed.
My mind was blank, I felt like everything was a bad dream. It has to be. This can't be real.
I couldn't stop crying all the way home. I wanted to hug Chanyeol and hide but I couldn't.
"Welcome back" I felt his warm embrace. His long arms holding me tighly. His breath against my neck.
"Chanyeol-ah. Let's break up" I said
The saddest part of life is saying goodbye to someone you wish to spend your lifetime with.
I've never been so scared of losing something in my entire life but then again nothing meant as much as you mean to me.
