08 [Byun Baek Hyun] Her

I dont know if I shouldve came to the dinner event today. The location of the dinner event was at the city centre plazas 19th floor. Even though it was an attention attracting place, only those invited could enter, there wouldnt be any situation with many people and gossip. I thought that it wouldve been a scene where members of each party enjoy wine and chat with each other. Instead, there werent much people in the ballroom, only around four or five tables of people chatting with each other. After we were seated, Sehun asked, a little puzzled, Didnt say that many people would attend? Where did they go to? Luhan Hyung did not speak, calmly cocking his head to the side. Ah? Sehun tried to reiterate his ask. The people are all in the suites you stupid! Luhan pointed towards the side of the hall. It was only then when I noticed the corridors at the side, some suites can be seen along it. If people have fixed their deals and are developing their relationship to proceed on with their next collaboration, would they let you see it? So that was the case. I nodded, fingers fiddling with the napkins, feeling bored. How boring, Park Chanyeol said in a low voice. Before he finished his statement, I could hear Luhan Hyungs delighted voice. Mr Moh, nice to meet you! Mr Lee, youre here too. Oh no not at all Mr Kim, if not for you, we couldnt have The four of us followed Luhan Hyung to stand up, bowing and offering wine. After a sometime, the bottles of wine had already reduced by two. After another left, Sehun was in awe, Luhan Hyung, youre really capable. Its what Tae Shin Hyung had reminded me, that there was a few we had to greet properly. Luhan Hyung was just complaining about the task but the moment he stood, he would be full of greetings. I lifted my glass to knock it against one of the CEOs and lifted my hand to wipe the cold sweat off my forehead. My gastric pains had surfaced again. I dont know why exactly, but recently, my gastric pains were starting to happen more frequently. Maybe it was because I did not eat my food properly. With only two or three glasses of wine down my stomach, it already feels like it was burning with pain.

Im going to the toilet. I said softly to Kyungsoo who was beside me, and forced an apologetic smile to the CEO. Youre fine right? He grabbed me. I shook my head and walked towards the corridor. The toilet was at the most end of the corridor, and along the corridor, just like what Luhan Hyung had said, was filled with luxurious suites. Despite the soundproof walls, I could still hear the laughter and noises made. But any sound I heard was getting faint and unclear. I staggered into one of the toilet cubicles, and vomited into the toilet bowl. From what I have always known, my alcohol tolerance wasnt this bad. But the strong uncomfortable feeling in my stomach made me want to vomit out everything inside. When I pressed down on the flush, I noticed that there was blood amongst the substance. I did not bother about it, and walked out of the cubicle to the basin to rinse my mouth. Supporting myself on the basin with my arms, I huffed slightly, resting for a while before walking out of the toilet. On my way back, there were still noises coming from the suites. I walked with my head down, hearing someone walking behind me. It seemed like a drunk male and female, walking as they laughed out loud. I walked along the side, making way for them, not expecting for them to sway that much. However, when the man walked past me, he forcefully pushed me towards the side. I fell to my side. In panic, I held onto one of the suites door knob. I did not expect for the door to be open. I fell into the dim suite. - - Oh no. I awkwardly looked up, there were many men standing there dressed in suits. The man seated at the centre of the sofa, looked at me with much interest. I stood up in a hurry, wanting to apologise, but heard a small and shaky voice calling my name. Byun Baek Hyun I turned my head around to see the only woman in the suite, at the corner of the wall. Her hair was messy, coat thrown aside, with tear streaks on her cheeks. She hugged her arms, shivering non-stop. Lee Hayeon. I realised the situation in an instance. Are you not going to get out? One of the standing man dressed in black said.

I took a deep breath and leaned towards Lee Hayeons side, looking at the man on the sofa. Boss, Even though I didnt know who the man was, but from the situation, it was the most appropriate label. Sheshes my friend, can I bring her away? The man let out a laugh as if he just heard a joke. He stood up and walked towards us. The way he approaches held an undeniable oppression, he seemed slightly taller than Park Chanyeol. Whats your name, you. He asked, looking at Hayeon. LeeHayeon She said shakily, shrinking inwards. Oh, Hayeon-ah. Yes. This siris he your friend? He said while putting his arms around my shoulders. Hayeon looked up to stare at me, mouth opening a little, but said nothing. Boyfriend? This time he asked, turning to look at me. I bit my lips. Yes. No. The two answers popped up at the same time. The lie was exposed, I was at a loss, turning my head to look at Hayeon. Even in such a panicky situation, the way she was looking at me was filled with hatred. Ha,The man opposite us let out a laugh, putting more force on his hands around me. Im sorry I have no knowledge on your industrys rumors. His smile was puzzling. But seeing that the situation has become this way, the game is more interesting than before. What? Before I wrapped my mind around anything, I was pulled away by that person. Nudging his chin towards Hayeons direction, he said to the men dressed in black, Lets continue the game from where we left off. I froze, watching the men walk up to Hayeon, starting to rip off her clothes. Hayeon started crying and shouting in protest. What are you trying to do! Stop! I shouted. But I was held tightly be the man, unable to move. Amongst the chaos, I heard a man shout. Looking towards their direction, it seemed that she had bitten a man on his arm.

This bitch. The man cursed, lifting his hands to give Hayeon a tight slap, hands reaching towards her again. I could not stand it anymore, I desperately struggled to free myself from the mans grasp and rushed forward to block her. What the hell, fuck off you brat. The man behind me cursed while giving me a kick. I hugged onto Hayeon tightly. She was shivering uncontrollably in my arms, unable to speak. Please, let her off. Are you not going to fuck off? The men around me continued to curse at me, amongst the commotion, the boss-like man spoke. Its not that we are inhumane. But this ladys company asked us to make some investment in her, so I have to taste some sweetness as well. Am I not right? And, I, Wu Yifan, never does any business with loss. No. I cant let them have their way. If Park Chanyeol knew that Lee Hayeon had experienced these, he would go crazy. So, young boy, are you going to scram or not. I looked at him and shook my head. Mr Wu, what do we do with him? Someone asked. The man called Wu Yifan stared at me for a moment before opening his mouth. Since he is a celebritydont hit his face, lets see when hes willing to move away. The moment he finished his sentence, a wave of kicks and punches came at me. I gritted my teeth, hugging the girls arms tightly, afraid that the punches would somehow hurt her. You She said with her voice still shaky. Dont be afraidDont be. I told her silently as I tried to bear with the pain. Ineed to protect her well. Park Chanyeols darling. -
