My legs trembled in fear after he took a step closer. I should've known better. However, I was hundred percent sure that there's no doubt he's the result of my formula that's why it was impossible for him to be one of them.
He is, right?
"D-Don't..." I breathe and stepped back. Although he continued his action until a few inches left between us and he was already towering me.
"I'm not what you think. You're only cute but I never expected you to be so stupid." He said. I was quite offended at what he said. I was ready to fought back but he grabbed my wrist before I could speak.
"What are you doing? Let go-" I said and as usual, he didn't speak and my heart started beating fast. He better not planning something lewd to me. I yelped when he forced me to sit on the large bed and he crouched down in front of me. He's acting weird again.
"I'm not a hunter Baekhyun. Actually, I am one of your family's protector." As he said that, his lips cracked a smile before I could even comprehend of what he said. My breathing got heavy when I remembered by the word protector.
"Y-You're Sehun's cousin?" I asked and started playing with my fingers, getting anxious actually. When he nodded, I bit the inside of my cheek before looking at his eyes that were staring mine.
"Although I belong to Park family, the Oh and Park family are relatives and devoted to the Byun family which is the developer of many known inventions and science researches." Chanyeol said.
The Oh family was a loyal ally of our family and I never knew Park(s) were also included when they made a pact to each other to protect and keep our bloodline safe to continue what we do in science. And that's what Sehun did. He protected me till the last drop of his blood. Sehun's graveyard flashed inside my head again as I fought my tears to fell, a sudden realization hit me.
"Is that why you were buried beside Sehun?" I eagerly asked and he nodded. That's what bugging me the most everytime I visit Sehun. It was strange to see another surname was buried beside him in their family's area. Yet then again, I didn't know about the Park family.
"We were strangers to each other and that's what I've been thinking. Was it Sehun that you intended to resurrect not actually me if I'm not mistaken." I heard Chanyeol asked. His voice was too low that I barely heard him and there's no reason not to nod at his question.
"I'm sorry if I accidentally woke you up from your deep slumber. It was never my intent-"
"I know." He finally stood up and went outside the room. I roamed my eyes around me and I felt the air got creepy as I followed him outside.
"Wait Chanyeol." I saw him walking down the stairs and he only acted as if I didn't call him. He's obviously avoiding me. I was quite sure that it was never my intention to offend him yet from the looks of it, he might got offended.
As I far as I know, It shouldn't be a big deal for the both of us when we actually never met each other before. Moreover, he should be thankful that I brought him back from the dead.
After running downstairs to follow him, my eyebrows knitted together when he was peeking at his window, standing beside it. I went closer beside him and my eyes saw a glimpse of red light outside the window as it got me alarmed.
"Chanyeol did they follow us here?!" I asked with a little panic in my voice. All of a sudden, hands on my shoulders pushed me down on my knees and kneeled in front of Chanyeol as he leaned his back on the wall.
"Hide. Shut your trap too." My eyes widened when I studied our current position we had. I quickly covered my mouth preventing myself from screaming. My face was too close at his private region!
My eyes darted towards the window. Lights from a particular torch outside the window flashed inside the mansion. Fortunately, it was gone after a few minutes. The doorknob flinched and I was shocked and never hesitated to bury myself in front of Chanyeol. I got scared as I hugged what's in front of me.
"Baekhyun, that's not helping..." I heard Chanyeol whispered. I was thinking of what he meant by that until after everything processed in my mind.
I back a few inches away as I covered myself with my palms. It was humiliating and I swear I heard Chanyeol groaned with a moan earlier.
I gasped when Chanyeol pulled me up from the floor and he softly massaged my shoulders.
"Let's go back upstairs, Baekhyun. It's safer than here." He suggested and I only nodded. I was out of words after all.
"W-Who was that Chanyeol?" I asked and silently sat on the edge of the bed. He was standing in front of me as he kept glancing on the window. Probably trying to look down if the person outside was still there.
"He's a hunter. He might saw us running towards this direction earlier. Good thing, I locked the door again." He said and sat beside me while leaning his elbows at his back.
Utterly scared, I didn't reply.
"Do you have any plans?" I faced him as I only stared at him for I don't know what to do after the sun rise, a few minutes left.
"It's okay if you don't have any. I have one but your safety is my priority before anything else." He said as he kept his stare at me.
My stomach churned and I shifted on my seat. What's this?
"What do you mean?" I asked and he sat up straight and grinned. His face was not a joke.
He really is handsome.
"I'm your protector now Baekhyun. You're my responsibility and my priority for I am awakened from a very deep slumber and for that I owe you." He said not breaking his stare away from me. My face heated up from his words. Doesn't he get tired of looking at me?
"You said that you have a plan, what could it be?" I asked trying to avoid getting the dull aura around us, he nodded.
"I planned to get back to those people who killed me without hesitations nor conscience." Chanyeol said and he plomped himself completely on the bed. Fortunately, I looked at him and he already have his eyes close. Wait, I nearly forgot to check his body if he's actually working with the formula.
I gulped as I stared at him. He looked like the one who doesn't like getting disturb. I slowly went closer beside him and heaved a sigh. Why am I getting nervous? It's not like I'm going to do something with him. I reached for his wrist and cringed after feeling the cold temperature of his skin. Much to my dismay.
"I don't know why your body has a low temperature when you're obviously alive now." I was thinking deep if I should make another kind of formula to make his body temperature normal. Of course, he badly needed it to avoid freaking other people out.
His face and his body looked unharmed as if he didn't die and he looked so perfect. I was getting mesmerized until I found myself leaning my hand to touch his cheeks. My trance broke when his deep voice resonated through my ears, sending shivers to my spine. I pulled my hand away but his hand held it tight.
"I saw a light while I was wandering around a very dark place. I was feeling cold that time but never shivered. Without knowing what could the light in the corner brings, I went towards the light until I saw your face." I was flattered and when his eyes opened, my ears warmed up as I adore them. He saved me from those hunters before I ran out of breathe. I was grateful by it even though I failed on what I really wanted to do that time.
"Thank you for saving me, by the way." I muttered and glanced to his brown orbs. His eyes got that special glint that makes me weird inside and my mind to blow up.
It's beautiful and it's screaming for affection.
"Then we owe each other's lives then?" He said and the corner of his lips curving upwards as his left eye twitched. He looked more handsome when he smiles.
"Right. What about I check your body first? I'm getting worried about the fact that your temperature's strange." I said and he nodded.
"Just no needles." Right. He didn't hesitated and closed his eyes again. That's more comfortable.
"Don't worry. I'll only check your vitals." With that, I reached for his arm and placed my finger where his pulse was. As I felt it beat against my fingers, I was hesitating to do this but I slowly leaned my head on his chest with my ears trying to find his heartbeat.
"I-It was incredibly fast." It was surprising that his heart was beating suddenly too fast when I leaned on his chest but it was quite normal on his wrist.
My eyes were boring to the window with my head leaned against him. It wasn't going normal. Abnormal heartbeats were never been a good sign since then. The darkness outside was getting pierced by the incoming light from the rising of the sun.
It was already morning. My breathing hitched as I shivered when cold hands were silently wrapped around me. I prevented myself not to scream as the touch only tightened and his cold skin were burning against mine.
"My heartbeat is never normal since I laid my eyes on you." I closed my eyes getting flustered all of a sudden. I could feel his breath on my head as I tried to speak yet I no word came out. Asusual, he's being strange.
"Oh look at that. Yours too?" I heard him chuckled as I was drowned in embarrassment. He's always unpredictable yet comfortable to be with. Except his staring.
Yet I like it.
My eyes started feeling heavy and tired. It wasn't that bad to lean against him for a while when I felt safe and secured. However, he's different. I sighed and let my eyes close as darkness followed.
I was ready to be alone and ran away from this world. Hence, I never expected to meet a one peculiar man unintentionally.
