13-The Late Sorry

Next morning Baekhyun got up, rubbing his eyes and feel a light scratch under his eyes.

He shot open and look at his hand immediately.

A ring was there, on his ring finger.

When did it get there? He ask himself

He try to recollect his memories of yestersay and all he remember was putting the cd in.

Baekhyun know that he was with Sehun, so the ring must belong to his.

The older pull out the ring and the inside caught his eyes.

'Baekhyun'

It was his name.

A flashback appear in his head, he was giving it to someone.

This ring wasn't suppose to be on his finger.

It was suppose to be for someone else.

The ring, he probably give it to Sehun.

Is t a promise ring, what is the promise? He ask himself.

Baekhyun slip it back on and decide to ask the younger when he get to school.

When he got out of the door, he spot a flat cardboard box laying right under his foot.

Probably for omma, he thought then picking it up and went back inside the house, leaving it on the kitchen counter.

The flat rectangle box was a little squish, he afraid if he destroyed something inside and opened to check if everything was okay.

There was a letter addressed to no one and a small size picture that could be fit in the wallet.

His eyes widen at the 2 person smile happily in it.

Baekhyun know he saw this picture somewhere before,

The picture of him and Sehun.

With another look at the boy beside him, he finally remember where he saw it.

It was at Sehun's house.

Is this one of his new technique to mess with my head again? He ask himself and smile.

Baekhyun pick up the envelop and start pulling the letter out. His smile faded and was replaced by fear and uneasiness.

Dear Boy,
You might already forgot about me but we met recently at the fair.
Three years has passed since then right?
How many times I wished to turn back time and fix everything that I caused you but no such luck. When my wife find out about my past she left for days then came back and said 'let faced your sin together'. At that time I feel God didn't adandon a sinful man like me. He still give me something precious eventhough all my action was corrupted and unhuman.

I'm graceful to found her.

I told her about all my crime, but the one I regret the most was 3 year ago. No matter how many times I say sorry, I know nothing will be changed. I don't hope for your forgiveness, I know you can never forgive me, the man who kidnapped you.
Still, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry boy. Many times I thought about turning myself in but the thought of leaving my wife make me tremble and breaking down. I'm sorry for being selfish, and for being a bad man. Boy, I want to apologize to you in person, I want to at least do something to atone for my sin, a little by little is good enough. The rest of my life all I want is to live with my wife and faced what I regret. We will be waiting for you here, before I die I hope to see you boy.

The letter hit the ground from his trembling hand.

Memories and memories of him being beaten, blood dripping and scream that won't escape his mouth anymore, play over and over again.

He could hear himself scream inside his head.

'Don't hit me'

'Stop, it hurt!'

'I'm Sorry'

'I'm Sorry'

'Sehun!'

That name got him snap out of it, he need to see that person.

He look back and forth at his backpack then the clock before he realize he suppose to be at school by now. Baekhyun grab his backpack and speed out of the door.

The classroom is almost full, eveyone eyes were on the council president, who always come early.

Their eyes connect and he was relief.

Sehun saw him, at first he was happy but quickly fade as he saw his hyung expression.

Baekhyun settle in his seat, look down at the table and squeezing his hand to prevent the trembling.
"Hyung," Sehun softly placed his hand on his shoulder.

No reply.

"What happen hyung?" He give it a little shake

Still no reply.

"Baekhyun!" This time a hard shake

"Ya," Baekhyun slowly turn around, he want to ease Sehun's mind and tell the boy to not worry about him but only a whisper came out.

"Something wrong?" Sehun furrow his brows in concern. His heart aches at the expression clearly visible in front of him.

"Not...hing" Baekhyun manage to said

"Something IS wrong hyung!" Sehun push hard on the word is

No reply from him.

"You guys quiet down, we have an announcement from the student council." Mr. Kim walk in with D.O. and Kai behind him. The two boys wave happily at Baekhyun and motion him to come up.

"Since our council president is here, we will let the announcing job to him," Kai smirk and move aside leaving the spotlight for him.

The student turn around and look at Baekhyun adding more pressure to him, making him sigh and have to come up.

"Okay guys, a round of applause for our president" the student whistle and cheering him on.

"We decide to do a summer festival after the exam, all the class have to participate to gain competition point and could win a choice of their field trip. It's all your choice to come up with a theme to participate, cheating is not allow and will receive consequences. There will also be a talent show and it will be held in the gym. As for the judges, it will be-" Baekhyun stressed the word be and look the other council for answer. Kai just shrug and D.O. went into his thinking mode.

"Will be announce later." He finished the sentence, the whole class clap and a dispute began.

He was really out of it.

The only thing that make him able to speak probably is his duty as the council president.

"Class Class, there there quiet down. We have the council here.

"Guys get lot of ideas and make this festival a super blast!" Both council notice the state he is in and D.O. eyed Kai to finish up the announecment.

Baekhyun walk back to his desk and sat down. Mr. Kim and the council was in the own conversaton while the room fill with excitement and conversation about what should we do in the festival.

"Oppa...are you okay?" Taeyeon came over and give him a worry look before Sehun hand about to touch his shoulder again. He pull his hand back and folded into a fist, he thought maybe she could give him comfort then he could.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me" Baekhyun forced a smile at her wanting to get rid of that expression on her face.

"Smile oppa, I'm here if you need me" she smile brightly at the man and touched his hand.

"Thank you," her smile make him calmer, he actually could think straight now.

Baekhyun believe he should go, to find the answer why he was kidnap, why did the kidnapper do it and why him?

Sehun look at the older the whole time, he was worry for his hyung and jealous when Taeyeon came over, getting the smile on his face that he couldn't.

"Hyung, do you want to talk?" He ask Baekhyun when lunch time start.

"I got a mail from him today," the older hesitate at first but still tell the truth anyway. He can't lie to the guy in front of him.
"Who?" He ask, concern never left him.

"The guy we met at the fair," Baekhyun answer, his hand start trembling again.

"It's okay, I'm here" he insure him and squeaze the other hand gently.

"He...he was the...kidnapper" the older stutter but finally finish his sentence.

Sehun was speechless, he could feel how scare his hyung is.

"What...what else did he said?" Sehun asked.

"He was sorry and hope to... see me in person." Baekhyun calm a bit with the other hand on his.

"What do you want to do?" Sehun ask another question.

"I think... I think I want to see him" he look at him with a determine eyes.

"And I want you to come with me," the older give him a weak smile.

"I want to too," Sehun said.

"Thank you," he said sincerely.

Baekhyun wasn't sure if he could do it, facing that man again but with Sehun by his side, he might make it.

Lunch is over and Mr.Kim walk in.

He start his lecture and all listen carefully since it almost the mid-term.

While listening to the teacher lecture, Baekhyun realize something.

Sehun is important to him.

He just smile at that thought and all the fear inside left him.
