~Oh Sehun~

I was frozen in place. Napatingin ako kina Kai at Chanyeol and they too are frozen with shock. Suddenly, Kyungsoo and Baek came running from the kitchen. They are red with worry and i pulled them both to hide behind me. 

"Si Chanyeol!" Baekhyun whined and tried to run to him but i pulled him back. 

"Don't!" i hissed. "Stay here, Baek!" 

Umiling-iling siya as he try to remove my hold. "No!" he whimpered. "May baril siya, Seth! Ano ba?!" 

I held him tighter and he winced. "He's not doing anything! Stay here and keep yourself safe! Do you understand?!" i hissed at him, staring fiercely into his eyes. 

Pero umiling siya at napatingin kay Chanyeol. Baek started to cry and Kyungsoo looked at Kai with worry. 

"He won't let you get hurt." i muttered. "He won't let himself get hurt! So calm down!" 

"ANO?!" sigaw ng Papa ni Luhan at sabay-sabay kaming napatingin sakanya. "Asan na siya?!" 

Napalunok si Chanyeol. "B-bakit?" tanong niya habang kinakabahan. "A-anong kailangan m-mo sakanya?" 

The man smirked. "Bakit gusto mong malaman?" tanong niya kay Chanyeol. "Interesado ka rin ba sa balak namin na halimaw na yun?" 

Napakunot noo sina Kai at Yeol. "Balak?" tanong ni Chanyeol. 

"Mayaman yung halimaw na yun." Luhan's father smirked. "Kung makukuha ko yun, edi ipapa-tubos ko sa tatay niya ng kahit ilang bilyon!" then he laughed, sending shivers down my spine. 

"Pa!" sigaw ni Luhan at pilit na kumawala. "Wala na siya dito! Umalis na sila." 

"Manahimik ka nga!" sigaw ng lalake at marahas na tinutok sa ulo ni Luhan ang baril. I winced and i fought the urge to run to him and save him. "Bakit mo pa kami dinala dito?!" 

Nanahimik si Luhan at napatingin sa direksyon ko. Nagtama ang mga paningin namin and he mouthed something to me. 

"Leave." 

I shook my head. No. I'm not leaving. 

Luhan closed his eyes and tears flowed from them. I glanced at Kyungsoo and Baek and they are sobbing, praying that nothing bad will happen. Kyungsoo suddenly stood up and went to the kitchen. Kinuha niya ang telepono at agad na dinial ang number ng police station. 

"Ano? Hindi niyo sasabihin?" tanong ng tatay ni Luhan. "Edi, pipilitin namin kayo!" 

Maya-maya pa, apat na lalake pa ang pumasok at lumapit kina Kai and Chanyeol. My eyes went wide with shock. 

"Huwag!" Luhan screamed at pilit na kumawala sa tatay niya. "Huwag please! Papa!" 

But it's too late. Kai and Chanyeol were punched then and there, they are gasping for air as numerous kicks and blows were given to them. I closed my eyes and breathed heavily. I can't watch them. Binubugbog na sila and yet, they remained silent. Hindi nila sinabi kung nasan ako. 

But it was too much for Baek to handle. 

"Chanyeol!" he screamed and pushed pass me. 

Chanyeol's eyes went wide. "B-baek?!" he gasped, blood oozing from his mouth. "N-no! Stay--" then another kick to his gut. 

Baekhyun ran to him and tried to cover him from the blows. Kyungsoo is sobbing next to me. "M-master!" he sobbed. "H-hindi nila sinasagot sa presinto! A-ano nang gagawin natin?!" 

"Just call them." i hissed. "Don't stop." 

"Tama na!" i heard Luhan scream. "Tama na! Tama na!" 

Baekhyun hugged Chanyeol's unconscious body and held him tight. He is crying so hard and the other laughed at them. Kai is already unconscious, lying on a corner, his body covered in blood and bruises. I clasped my mouth. This can't go on forever. 

I stood up and Kyungsoo grabbed my arm. "Master!" he hissed. "S-san ka pupunta?!" 

"I can't watch them getting hurt because of me!" i told him. He stared at my face and back at our friends. They're getting hurt. They're getting hurt because of me. And i can't take that. I can't take that again.

"Tawagan mo lang yung mga pulis." i ordered him. "Don't stop. Hide there." 

I peeked to the curtain and at them. Luhan looked at me and i nodded. He shook his head fiercely but no. Ayokong pati siya, masaktan. Hindi ko kakayanin. 

"Sa taas!" sigaw ng Papa ni Luhan. "Tignan niyo baka--"

"I'm here." i said and stepped out of my hiding place. 

Napaatras sila sa gulat. They stared at me, wide-eyed and gaped. It seems like, tama ang akala ko. Natatakot sila sa itsura ko. I glared at them, my eyes red with anger. I can't let them hurt my friends any longer. 

Luhan's father recovered from the shock. "Kunin niyo siya!" he shouted and pointed the gun at me.

Agad na naglakad papunta sa akin yung mga lalake and i braced myself for the worst. 

But i am a beast. I am a monster. 

I gritted my teeth and felt my fangs against my lower lip. My nails grew longer and i waited. And once the tall guy is near me, i pulled him by his collar and scratched his chest with my claws, making a deep cut on his body. He whimpered and fell to the ground. 

I stared at the other three and ran to them, grabbing two by their heads and smashing them together. Blood flowed from their cracked skulls and i threw them to the floor, making a part of the tiles crack. I heard them groan in pain, and then silence. 

I glared at the last of the four men. 

He trembled and backed. "What?" i hissed, stepping forward. 

He looked at me with fear and he ran out the door, screaming nonsense. Then it's Luhan's father who is left. I looked at him and glared. 

"Bitiwan mo si Luhan." i said and stepped forward. 

Umiling siya. "Hindi." he said. "Diyan ka lang!" 

I took a step towards him. "Let go of him!" i shouted, growling at him. 

Bigla niyang tinutok sakin yung baril. "Papatayin kita! Kaya diyan ka lang!" he warned. 

"Let him go first... and... i'll come with you." i muttered. 

"Seth, hindi!" sigaw ni Luhan habang pilit na umaalis sa hawak ng tatay niya. "Huwag kang sumama sakanya!" 

"Master!" tawag ni Baek sa isang gilid. "Huwag, please!" 

Umiling ako. "If i go with you, will you leave them alone?" i asked, hopeful. 

Tumango ng marahan ang papa ni Luhan at ngumisi. "Sige ba." he smirked and looked at Luhan fast. "Pakakawalan ko silang lahat."

I nodded. "Then do it." i muttered. 

Napatingin siya sakin at kay Baek. Saka niya binitawan si Luhan at binato sa sahig, making him gasp in pain. I started to move towards him but a shot stopped me. He shot upwards, making us all yelp in shock. 

"Huwag kang umalis diyan!" the man screamed, pointing the gun at me. 

I nodded and pursed my lips. 

I started to move towards him, to go with him. But Luhan stood up and ran to his father, getting the gun. He put up a fight and they made circles, grabbing the gun and pushing against each other.

"Luhan!" i screamed. 

"Bitiwan mo!" sigaw ng tatay niya. "Bitawan mo sabi!" sigaw niya sabay tadyak sa anak niya. Luhan fell to the floor and i ran to him, hugging him and pulling him close. 

"Bwisit!" sigaw ng tatay niya at tinutok kay Luhan ang baril. "Panira ka ng mga plano!" sigaw pa niya habang nanlilisik ang mga mata. 

"Pa..." pagmamaka-awa ni Luhan. "Tama na!" 

"Hindi!" sigaw ng Tatay niya. He positioned the gun in his hand and looked at his son with hate. "Parati mo nalang sinisira lahat! Lahat nalang ikaw ang dahilan! Isa kang malas! Papatayin nalang kita!" 

But before he even pulled the trigger, i encircled my arms around Luhan, protecting him from the shot. 

Then there's a pain on my left shoulder blade, making me gasp and close my eyes in agony. 

"Seth!" Luhan screamed, pulling me close. 

There's a series of footsteps and the banging of the door. Luhan's father escaped.

The house became silent aside from the screams of Luhan. "Seth!" he gasped, pulling me against his lap. "Please, please! Baek! Tumawag kayo ng ambulansya bilis!" sigaw niya. 

"H-huwag na." i mumbled and held his hand. "J-just stay h-here... stay h-here..."

"Hindi ka nga mamamatay, ano ba?!" he sobbed, his tears fell on my face making me smile. "Ano ba naman yang kagaguhan na yan Seth?! Diyan ka lang! Huwag kang matutulog! Sige ka!" he sobbed and pulled me close, making me close my eyes in contentment. 

I opened my eyes and looked at his beautiful face. Even with the tears, he would still be the most beautiful creature for me.

"Y-you're... beautiful." i muttered and stared at him. "Your eyes... nose... cheeks... you're p-perfect, Luhan." 

He cried harder and caressed my face. "S-seth..." he sobbed. "Huwag p-please." 

"You're everything i ever wanted." i whispered, gasping for air. "If i would die... please know one thing." 

I reached out my hands and touched his face. I caressed it and stared into his eyes, making my tears fall. "I love you." i whispered. And suddenly, the pain in my chest started to grow. "I-i love y-you so much, Lu Han. I n-never... ever loved... a-anyone as much as i l-love you." 

The pain started to move around my body, making me gasp for air. 

A petal is falling. 

The last petal is falling. 

"Mahal kita, Seth." Luhan whispered and touched my face. "Mahal na mahal kita, so please! Stay! Stay for me." he sobbed and looked at me through his tears. 

"I w-will try." i managed to say and smiled. 

"I love you..." he muttered and closed his eyes. "I love you so much. Don't leave me." 

Then he bent down and planted a soft kiss on my lips. 

I closed my eyes, feeling heat all over my body. The pain in my chest started to evaporate and i feel light headed. I can still feel Luhan's lips against mine and i sighed, savoring the moment. 

Am i dying? Is this the feeling of dying? 

There's too much heat and suddenly, i heard whispers. Like someone casting a spell against my ear. I kept my eyes closed, making the sensation go away. I felt like i'm lying on clouds, the floor is soft against my back. Suddenly, all the pain is gone. Even the wound on my back became nothing. 

Am i numb? 

I slowly opened my eyes as i felt Luhan's lips leave. 

I stared into his eyes which are suddenly wide with shock. 

"S-sehun?"
