09 [Byun Baekhyun] Only Your Hands Can Crush Me

I can save everyone, but I cant save myself. I got a proper beating from those men, making me feel dizzy and my eyesight blurry. That bunch of jerks used more force than Park Chanyeol by a few times. Soft sobs slowly came from my embrace. Even I myself did not know how long I had withstood the beatings, but after a while they seemed to have gotten lazy to waste their energy on me and stopped. Byun Baekhyun right? Ok, Ill remember you. The Wu Yifan man left his sentence before leaving and walked away with his men. I heaved a breath in relief, let go of the girl in my arms and fell towards the floor in a seated position. I picked up my ID which was taken away by Wu Yifan and took off my jacket to drape on Lee Hayeon. After I was more mentally relaxed, the physical pain slowly became more profound. Areyou alright? I asked. Lee Hayeon did not say anything for a long time. She seemed to have rearranged her emotions and stopped sobbing. What is the meaning of this, are you trying to repay? Yeah, it was you who landed me in this state. Byun Baekhyun, wasnt it because of you? Sorry She leaned against the wall, with her empty gaze staring straight forward. Her voice was still nasally sounding and her words were desolate yet filled with hatred. Now you pretend to be noble trying to save me. Because of your guilt right? Haha. HayeonI Or is it because of Park Chanyeol? Trying to get to the good side of him? That persons image surfaced before my eyes, but his eyes were filled with despise. I looked down, not speaking. Handphone. Lend me your handphone. After a moment of silence, she spoke calmly.

I said nothing and handed her my handphone. I thought she was going to call her manager, but instead of dialling a certain number, she seemed to be scrolling through my contacts. You I paused, I had no reason to stop her. She made a few strokes on my handphone screen and placed the phone beside her ear. I could hear the other end pick up. Oppa, Chanyeol OppaIts me, Hayeon-ah. She said, beinging to sob uncontrollably. Chanyeol-ahmy Chanyeol, what will he do? If you saw Hayeon like this, you would go crazy right? But at least you found her, while you thought she would disappear from your world forever, spending each day in pain. You are now about to see her again, isnt that right? Maybe, I should be happy for you. Im in suite 235Yeah, Ill wait for you. She hung up on the phone, but her tears would not stop flowing. I slowly stood up, leaning against the wall in a daze. A while later, I could hear the door being pushed open forcefully. Following the direction of the sound, I saw Park Chanyeol at the door. Its been too long since I last saw Park Chanyeol looking like that, his coldness and forced smiles have all been replaced by the long lost surprise and worry. Hayeon! He rushed forward, anxiously grabbing her shoulders, What happened? OppaChanyeol Oppa. She threw herself into Chanyeols embrace, crying. Did someone do something to you? Huh? Are you hurt? Hayeon hugged him while crying. Park Chanyeol felt too impatient, he helped her up and wanted to leave the place, but was immediately stopped by the other members who rushed to the scene only then. Hayeon? Luhan Hyung froze for a second when he saw the scene, and his gaze immediately swept towards me. Baekhyun, youre fine right? What happened? Um How am I supposed to say this, how could I explain how she was shamed by all those people? Infront of Chanyeol? Maybe you should look at Hayeon firstshe seemed to have experience someshock. I changed the topic and looked towards Park Chanyeol at the side. Im bring her away. Park Chanyeol said without hesitance. Are you crazy? The plaza outside is filled with reporters! Luhan glared at him. I dont care! With Hayeon like this, she needs to be with me!

Park Chanyeol please wake up, even if you dont want your image, please be considerate for Hayeons! Park Chanyeol didnt speak, he seemed to have realised the problem as well. Why not let Hayeon Noona disguise herself then leave with us? Sehun suggested naively. Do you think the reporters are stupid? Luhan threw Sehun a glance, stressed out by the current situation. Why not we do this, Kyungsoo who was silent the whole time spoke, I have a friend who lives nearby, Ill call him to ask him to pick us up with his carregarding how we leave this place, I think there should be some special exit, we could try it out. About an hour later, we finally ended up back in the apartment. Thankfully it was already past midnight, there wasnt much people around the building. We tried to hide Hayeon as we entered the apartment. I walked at the back, the wounds on my body still causing me some pain. The moment the apartment door closed behind me, there was a sudden flash of darkness before my eyes, my body swayed a little and I immediately grabbed onto the cabinet beside me. When I regained my vision, I saw Park Chanyeol help Hayeon into the bedroom with a worried expression. I felt a pang of envy. Baekhyun, what exactly happened? Luhan Hyung came up to me, asking in a quiet voice. I explained the situation briefly, excluding the part where I was beaten up. With the current situation, I did not want to bring more problems to everyone else. Luckily, there were no wounds on my face, no one noticed my state. After hearing me out, Luhan Hyung sighed, It mustve been hard on Hayeon, shes a girl after all I lowered my head without speaking upon hearing his words. Ah, thats not what I meant. Luhan Hyung seemed to have realised something, looking at me awkwardly. I smiled bitterly, I know, you should go rest, its been a tiring day. Yeah, Luhan Hyung nodded, you too. After I finished washing up, all of the members were already in their own bedrooms and seemed to have gone to bed. I stared at the closed door of mine and Chanyeols joint bedroom, feeling hesitant. I already got my mind around the fact that I would be sleeping in the living room today, but I should at least go in to grab some clothes. I walked towards and tried to push open the door gently - but realised that it was locked. Nevermind.

I walked back into the living room, closed lights and lay down slowly on the sofa with my clothes still intact. Upon contact with my wounds, I drew a sharp breath in pain. I remembered seeing I saw the patches of purple and black on my body while I was bathing just now. After lying down for some time, I started to shiver due to the cold. Even with a jacket draped across, I knew it wasnt enough for me to withstand the cold night. The sleepiness soon kicked in, but due to the chilly weather, I could not fall asleep. Maybe it was because I caught a cold, my gastric pains surfaced again. I shut my eyes tight and pulled the jacket tighter around myself. Hayeons words resurfaced in my brains again. Now you pretend to be noble trying to save me. Because of your guilt right? Or is it because of Park Chanyeol? Trying to get to the good side of him? - - I landed you in this state. Sorry. - - If possible, let me repent my sins. Together with Park Chanyeols piece of happiness that he has yet to receive, Ill do all I can to repay it to you. The winter night is silent and soundless, but the pain coming from the various parts of my body made it difficult to fall asleep. Im not sure how long later, I heard a sound from the bedroom door, afterwards someone walked out. Who? I did not have the strength to go find out, I could only hear the footsteps coming closer. In the murky darkness, I saw someones figure standing before me. Before I could react, that person dragged me up with a tug. I almost let out a surprised gasp, even in the darkness, I could see his features. You get in here. That person said in a low voice and dragged me into the bathroom. Chanyeol-ah, whats wrong. Please be gentler, the wound on my arm hurts so much. He locked the bathroom door and forced me against the wall. Under the bright light of the bathroom, I saw his furious face. Why dont you go die? You motherfucker. He cursed in my face. Whats wrong I felt slightly helpless, I dont know how I agitated him again. Exactly how evil you are? Ha, Byun Baekhyun, Ive underestimated you. He put in more force on his hands, causing my brows to knit in pain. You actually let those jerks torture Hayeon like that! Have you not brought her enough pain! What? What did this meanI was stunned.

Dont pretend to be innocent. Wasnt it you huh? Who called her to that suite to ensure her a successful debut! No. How could you think this way? Then explain to me why you appeared there! Huh! He glared at me, as if he wanted to tear me apart. I looked at him blankly, and seemed to have realised something, Wasit Hayeon who said that to you? If not who else? You who would come and tell me the truth? Actually I opened my mouth, but no words of explanation came out. Between Lee Hayeon and Byun Baekhyun, who would Park Chanyeol believe? What happened for real might not be the truth. Youd only believe her words. So, what is the point of me explaining? Would it not just sound like chicanery to you? Byun Baekhyun, let me tell you. No matter what happens to Hayeon, shed be the one I love, He tugged at my collar, and pulled me before his eyes, So, you had better take away all your evil thoughts. No matter what happens, it wouldnt be you that I like. I know. I know it all. So I dont dare have any extra thoughts, that way I would even look down on myself. But, Chanyeol-ah. My body standing in front of you is full of wounds, its fine if you dont see them, its fine if you continue to despise me and ignore me. But it hurts hearing of the sin that I never committed. What, youve got nothing to say now! His eyes were turning red from the anger, hands fisted up as if he would throw a punch any moment. Yeah. Ive got nothing to say. The pain and you, robbed me of my words. So, all I can do is let you remove my pants to your discretion, let you flip me around and push me against the wall to your discretion, and let you scold and curse at me to your discretion. Ill let you experience the pain! That you brought to Hayeon! - - Park Chanyeol, youve always been successful when it comes to torturing me. - - The pain, is felt deep in my bones.
