14 | Deathly Screams

As planned, Chanyeol's Ferrari had arrived at exactly 10:30PM.

Baekhyun was sitting outside of Sehun's porch for two reasons: Sehun kicked him out, saying he had to be the first one to greet the arriving guest and also because Chanyeol probably didn't know where Sehun's house actually was.

When Baekhyun saw a familiar figure stepping out of said car, he got up and stumbled over to the giant.

Why tho? He was pretty sure Chanyeol saw him so why was he wasting energy to walk all the way over to him? The latter wasn't able to find a response to his dilemma so he brushed it off, giving Chanyeol an awkward grin as he approached the taller.

"Were you waiting out here for me? When it's this cold?" Chanyeol raised a brow and crossed his arms. A quick flashback of what happened last time Baekhyun was sick replayed in his head but as quick as it came, it went.

"Sehun kicked me out." He replied almost automatically, which technically was the truth. Baekhyun didn't fail to notice the way Chanyeol's eye twitched in an annoyed manner.

"Oh," He paused, "Let's go in, whatever his name is should be arriving shortly."

Baekhyun nodded and strolled back to Sehun's front door, he began to bang on the door aggressively, all of a sudden he was feeling the cold air Chanyeol was talking about just a second ago-

"Hurry up, brat, it's cold!"

The latter heard a faint scoff from the other side of the door, deciding it was a good idea, he kicked the door with all his might-immediately regretting it.

"Well that was a stupid move- Are you-"

"I'm fine!" Baekhyun shrieked, putting on a fake smile to show the giant he was actually okay.

The door opened moments later and Sehun popped out his head with a mischievous smirk plastered on his face.

"Tao called saying they were almost here, for us to wait outside. He sounded so scared for some reason, it was almost funny."

Baekhyun scowled and sat back down where he was originally sitting at. The other two tall freaks followed soon after, Chanyeol sitting next to Baekhyun and Sehun sitting next to Chanyeol.

The latter felt a blush creep onto his face but he shook it off, this was no time to be embarrassed by such a small thing dammit!

Almost on cue, what looked like Minseok's car came into view and the three males got up in sync.

When Baekhyun got a closer view of the car and the person driving, which yes was Kim Minseok, he noticed it was yet another fancy looking car.

"Damn, didn't know I had competition-" Sehun mumbled to himself, which Baekhyun just happen to have overheard.

"What do you mean?"

"That's an Aston Martin One-77, it's about $2.4 dollars- Your boyfriend seems to have expensive taste too, and here I thought I was doing good with my shitty SUV-"

What the fuck do all my friends have expensive cars except for me?! Well at least they have a car!

The car window scrolled down to reveal a smirking Jongdae. "Are you really that scared to go alone that you had to bring two people with you, Byun?" Jongdae gave a glance at the other two then back at Baekhyun, Minseok giggled in the background.

Chanyeol and Sehun looked down at Baekhyun with confussion written all over their faces. Baekhyun planned for this but tried to brush it off by changing the topic.

"C'mon let's go already, before it gets colder!" The latter whined as he walked toward's Minseok's car. He stopped on his tracks when he felt a hand on his back and wasn't surprised to see Sehun.

"I'll be riding with them, you're going with Park."

"Alone?! W-Why can't you go with him?"

"It would be twice as awkward if i were to go in your place and besides, he is your boyfriend." Sehun didn't waste a minute, he swiftly pealed Baekhyun's fingers off the car door and stole his spot before the smaller could protest.

Baekhyun groaned and turned back to Chanyeol, who was patiently waiting next to his car with his arms crossed. He really wanted to smash his head against the car window but he slowly made his way to the passenger's seat. He hopped inside with a huff after the doors automatically opened for him. Chanyeol turned on the car and followed behind Minseok and the others.

The ride was spent in silence. To Chanyeol, it was a comfortable silence, he didn't fail to notice the shorter ignoring him the past week but he chose not to mention it. But on the other hand, Baekhyun found the silence extremely awkward, he was too scared to say something tho so he kept his mouth glued shut.

Chanyeol looked up at the building that stood in front of him and gulped.

This certainly wasn't a date.

"Alright, Minseok and I will lead the way. Sehun, you'll keep an eye on Tao, make sure he doesn't run away." Jongdae continued once he got a nod from Sehun. "Chanyeol and Baekhyun, the two of you will be together in case you lose us." Baekhyun saw it in Jongdae's eyes, the guy knew exactly what he was doing.

When he earned a shaky nod from the two he smiled triumphantly and jogged over to the entrance of the abandoned structure.

From the corner of his eye, he could see Sehun dragging a crying Tao inside the building with the calmest face ever.

Baekhyun unconsciously grabbed onto Chanyeol's hand, seeking an ounce of safety, which he seemed to find in such action. Chanyeol looked down at the smaller hand holding onto his for dear life, smoothly intertwining their fingers without Baekhyun noticing. They journeyed toward the entrance and began searching the seemly empty building.

The pair heard faint cracks while adventuring around the spooky location, every little noise they heard, the tighter they held onto each other. Chanyeol was trying his hardest not to be too jumpy, to sum it up, trying not to act like a scaredy-cat.

About one hour in, just walking through the stretched hall and talking, trying to ignore the fact that they were in an abandoned location. At night. On the 31st. With only each other. They heard a loud shriek. A feminine shriek. They were sure they were completely alone-besides Jongdae, Minseok, Tao and Sehun-in this place so what the fuck was that?

Chanyeol's heart dropped and he jumped back, visibly shaking.

At the sound, Baekhyun yelped and grabbed hold of the taller's waist for protection, they were shaking but at this point he wasn't sure if it was him shaking the most or Chanyeol. He didn't care tho, all he knew at the moment was that he wanted to leave this place. Now.

"Baekhyun-" Chanyeol whispered between shaky breaths.

"W-What...?" Mumbled Baekhyun, who's was voice muffled by the others chest.

"Let's ditch them. They won't know we left."

Why didn't they have that idea sooner?

Baekhyun aggressively nodded in the taller's chest. Chanyeol had calmed down a bit but the smaller in his arms was still trembling.

Not thinking straight, Chanyeol gently wrapped his arms around Baekhyun, one hand around the latter's waist and the other running through the other's hair to get him to calm down.

"It's okay... That was probably the panda, let's get moving so we can get out of here quickly."

The smaller sniffed but nevertheless, nodded. Without letting go of the taller's waist, Baekhyun moved to Chanyeol's side.

This will have to do.

Chanyeol sighed and wrapped an arm around Baekhyun's shoulder as they continued their walk, this time, looking for an exit.

Much to their disadvantage, they forgot where they came from. That damned scream really threw them off track.

That wasn't the last they heard of it tho, they heard the same screech moments later. Chanyeol was much frighted this time around, he jumped (yes again, his plans on trying to look confident totally failing) and almost. Almost. Let go of the shorter. The giant's legs began to shake as they desperately looked for an exit. Baekhyun on the other hand, was now holding onto Chanyeol's bicep tightly, he was scared but not as scared as Chanyeol.

They had to survive another hour of those unknown screams until Baekhyun found metallic stairs off the side of the building, the kind of emergency exit you see in old buildings in case of a fire. They didn't hesitate, Baekhyun linked their hands together and guided them out of the building with much speed.

Chanyeol fumbled with his keys before getting the car to open and when it did, they got in as quickly as humanly possible, making sure all the doors were locked when Chanyeol powered on the car.

Letting out a shaky sigh of relief, Chanyeol linked their hands back together.

When the headlights of the car turned on, if revealed a mysterious black vehicle parked not too far from theirs.

"Was that there before?" Chanyeol furrowed his brows, pointing at said vehicle.

"I-I don't think so... The others... They're still in there, their cars are still out here-" Baekhyun stuttered, looking back at the building and at the cars.

"Call them. They must be together. Your friend, the one that was crying, he probably wanted the four of them to stick together..."

"Good idea," Baekhyun muttered as he pulled out his phone and dialled Sehun's number.

It rang for a while but the last thing he expected was a crying Tao to answer.

"H-Hyung..! Please g-get me out of here..!" Tao screamed between pants and light sobs. "AAAAH- SEHUN!! W-WHAT WAS THAT?!"

"Tao! Listen to me, you need to get out of there, are Minseok and Jongdae with you guys?"

Baekhyun could tell what was going on but he was sure Tao trying to hide somewhere or something.

Sehun snatches the phone from Tao's hold and brought it to his ear. "Baekhyun, Tao is acting like a baby, he's screaming every time he hears something and I think I'll be deaf by the time I exit this place-"

"Shut up! That doesn't matter, you need to get Jongdae and Minseok then get the hell out of there! I don't think we're alone here. Chanyeol and I saw another car parked out here with us, we don't know how long it's been here and-"

Sehun hung up.

Baekhyun turned to look at Chanyeol with wide eyes.

"W-What happened?" That was the first time Baekhyun ever heard Chanyeol stutter but that didn't matter at the time.

"They... T-They hung up. I hope they're looking for their way out..."

Seconds later Chanyeol's phone began ringing, he fished it out of his pocket only to find the caller was Minseok. He turned it on speaker and waited for the other line to say something.

"Chanyeol, Baekhyun wasn't picking up so I called you, Junmyeon called saying he wanted me to come over to help him with something so we're calling this off."

"Minseok! Are you with Tao and Sehun? You need to get out now!" Baekhyun leaned in closer to the device.

"I know! I just told you we're leaving! And yes, we found Tao trying to lock himself in a locker and Sehun trying to stop him."

Chanyeol sighed in relief, falling back on his seat as he held the phone with one hand and Baekhyun's hand with the other.

"Thank God- N-Now hurry! You have to go! NOW!"

"Okay, okay! Bye."

With that the call ended and Chanyeol slipped his phone back where it belongs. He felt the latter squeezing his hand so he looked over at him, he was crying.

"Baekhyun, what's wrong?" Chanyeol asked, his tone laced with worry. Not worry for Tao and the others, worry for Baekhyun. He quickly lowered the seats so it was in a laying position and scooped Baekhyun into his arms, soothingly drawing patterns on the smaller's back to stop him from crying.

The latter quietly sobbed in Chanyeol's arms, but when the taller had enough of it, he pulled Baekhyun's chin up.

Baekhyun had puffy eyes and tears running down his cheek. Chanyeol wasn't going to admit it, but in his opinion, the latter was looked beautiful. The tears running down his face while the light of the full moon shone down at them.

"It's okay, the other's are on their way out." He whispered, running his thumb against the smaller's cheek to stop the drops from falling. Baekhyun sniffed and placed his small hand around the taller's wrist.

"I-I was scared something happened to them... I-I was scared something was gonna happen to us... I was so... s-so scared, Chanyeol..." Baekhyun closed his eye as the giant brought him into a warm hug, only letting go when he was sure the latter had stopped crying.

"Everything is fine now, we escaped, your friends are on their way out, don't worry about a thing." He only noticed Baekhyun was asleep when he didn't get a response from the latter. Chanyeol smiled and laid his sleeping beauty on the backseat, covering him with his handy blanket he kept in his car. Chanyeol gazed down upon the sleeping male in front of him for a while. He glanced at his wrist watch. 1:28AM.

Fuck it.
