14-Facing The Sinful Man
NO ONE POV:
After school Taeyeon was happily walking to her boyfriend but wasn't so happy when seeing him walking out of the classroom with another man.
Today was their date, Baekhyun never forget it but this time he did, forget her.
She already got suspicious about their relationship but keep denying it because she love him.
'It's fine'
'He is not feeling okay today'
She told herself hoping it help but no, it doesn't.
Nothing is going to be solve if she just denying everything, Taeyeon needed the truth from Baekhyun.
Is he still love?
Or he already have another.
Since the moment Sehun come to this school, Baekhyun been distance from her, it's like Sehun is pulling him away.
Sehun is the cause of this, she told herself.
She need to get him away, away from that dangerous man.
●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●
The whole way was silence. They arrive at the fair but didn't get off.
"Are you ready hyung?" Sehun ask
There wasn't an answer and the younger understand.
"Let's go," Baekhyun opened the door and got off.
Sehun follow after and they walk silently to the food vendor.
Baekhyun was still afraid, afraid to seeing his memories of that man again. He grab sehun's hand, wanting the younger to give him the courage and strength that he needed.
They were half a block away from the man food vendor, the man was taking the guest order while his wife is making the Patbingsu.
Baekhyun close his eyes, breath in and out to get ready. They continue walking down, down to the bad memory lane.
The man saw him first then the wife, they was shock but happy to see him.
The boys settle on one of the empty table, while the couple getting the dessert ready for them.
"Here you go," the wife placed the Patbingsu on the table and wait for them to touch it.
Silence fill the whole table, no one move or spoken a word.
"Boy, I'm glad you came" the man finally broke the atmosphere around them.
No response from Baekhyun
"I understand if you don't want to speak, I will talk" he continue and sit down on one of the empty chair.
"Back then I was in a gang, I was young and wanted to be a baddest to get my reputation up. I commit all the crime wanting to be the best but reality hit me hard when I met you. One look on your face melt my heart, I was scare to be soft, scare to lose. Your cries make my inside twist, all the guilt and pain one by one come to me. Everything I did until now is beyond horrible. Questions and question surge through my head, why did I do such a inhuman thing? What was I thinking? But it was too late, there is no return for me. I called the police after so they could throw me in jail or better, they could kill me instead...But I chicken out and hide...I-" the man stop and tear run down his face.
Baekhyun shaky hand start moving to the bowl of Patbingsu. He start eating it silently making the couple surprise and confuse at the same time but sehun understand what he mean.
Baekhyun is never the one to hold grudge or wanted revenge. He know this man in front of him is feeling guilt all over, what the man did couldn't be forgive in anyway.
But he need to forgive this man so he could forgive himself. He wouldn't sure if this is the right decision but he knew sehun will support him.
The couple covered their mouth and start sobing. They finally understand the meaning of his action.
"Jalmokegetsumnida," Baekhyun said quietly and push the bowl back.
He slowly stand up and left without saying another word, knowing Sehun is behind him.
"Hyung," Sehun catched up with the older
"I'm fine," he said
Baekhyun stop at the railing, eyeing the ocean wave and seagulf flying toward the horizon.
"You know, I wasn't sure if I want to forgive him...I shouldn't right? He was a bad man and deserve to be in jail right? but I couldn't, the man back then was evil but the man facing me earlier is a good man who love his wife."
Tear start running down his face but his eyes never left the beach.
"Hyung, don't be hard on yourself, you already make your decision and I support you no matter what." Sehun then pull him in his embrace
The older wrap his hands around him and let himself cried out everything he hold up until now.
He know silent is what Baekhyun need right now so they stayed like that till sun down.
"Thanks for coming with me," Baekhyun's sob starting to disappear. The older hugged him tighter.
"Let's go," Baekhyun then pull back, grabbing the younger hand and pull him to the ferris wheel direction.
The boys got their ticket and lined up waiting for their turn.
"Ferris wheel? Aren't somebody scare of it last time?" Sehun grin, teasing the older.
"Oh shut up," Baekhyun look away feeling embarrassed at the memory of him being a scaredycat.
"You ready?" Sehun ask when their turn is here.
They went inside the teacup and sit oppsite side of each other.
Sehun chuckle at how panicking his hyung are even before the machine start. His legs couldn't stop moving and his hand keep playing the invisible piano on his lap.
'It's cute' Sehun thought.
The ferris wheel start moving and like back then, the older's eyes immediately shut.
"Look at me hyung," the younger placed his hand on top of the other and look at him intensetively.
I could do this he told himself.
It just height right?
The teacup got higher and higher
He was wrong, it wasn't just height he is facing
It's his fear, he needed to face it.
Baekhyun slowly open his eyes and this time he actually didn't close it.
"It's not that bad, just keep looking at me, okay?" Sehun said, giving him a warm smile.
They continue to look into each other eyes and one thing led to another, both of them start leaning in.
Closer, closer and closer
The council president's hand quickly cover the younger's mouth then look at another direction for distraction.
"Look! I think I can see your car from here haha," he laugh nervously.
Baekhyun could feel the hot breathe on his palm, making him retrieve his hand.
A sudden grab from Sehun
And
A soft touch from his lip got Baekhyun's heart in the process of calming to become rapidly beating.
●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●
On their way back both didn't speak a word.
Their heart still beating fast, especially Baekhyun who couldn't stop getting more butterfly in his stomach.
"That should make up for last time," Baekhyun muttered.
"Why not," Sehun chuckle and grab the older hand while using his left hand to steer the wheel.
The older surprise and look at the hand on top of his then saw the ring mark around Sehun's finger.
He then remember about the ring.
"What was the promise?"he ask
"Promise?" Sehun steal a look at the older then faced the road again.
"The ring," he put up his hand, placing it in front of him.
"Ah, you give that to me," Sehun said
"And make me promise to never taken it off," he continue, remembering the promise and laugh at how his hyung expressiom back then.
"But now you broke the promise," Baekhyun said, turning sideway eyeing him.
"Yes, because I want you to putting it on my finger and make the promise once again-"
"But it might be stupid of me to think that," Sehun look at the ring and just smile foolishly.
They arrive at Baekhyun's house, he took a couple second before getting off.
"Goodnight hyung," Sehun grin
"Goodnight," he reply.
The older opened the door and got off but hesitate to closed it.
"The thing you say earlier...It's not stupid," Baekhyun said
"So that mean one day my council president will put a ring on my finger," the younger smirk.
"I...I didn't say that," Baekhyun protest, eyes move to the other side.
"Hyung, I will be waiting."
