Title: Sacrificing Love (Chapter 5)
Pairing: Chanyeol/Baekhyun
Rating: PG-15
Summary: Baekhyun was sold to Exotic as slave and was brought by a man called Park Chanyeol
(Previous Chapter) Baekhyun felt safe in his arms, so safe that he didn’t want to pull away. It wasn’t the first time Chanyeol hugged him in his arms. Usually he would feel disgusted if a man were to embrace him but Chanyeol was different. He doesn’t hate the contact he has with the tall male. In fact he felt safe just like that.
It might be because of the scent on his body, Baekhyun wasn’t sure.
“It quite late now, we should go and sleep.” Baekhyun suggested pulling himself away from Chanyeol. He awkwardly scratched his head and nodded.
He was running along in the dimly lighted street. They were chasing him, shouting threats at him. He ran with all his energy but the gap between them was getting shorter and shorter. Before he could even turn into the alley, one of them had caught him. That guy threw him hard against the cold hard wall of the alley.
“You can’t run now, bitch.” That eerie smile on his face sent shiver down his spine. It was the nightmare he’s trying to escape. Two of them pinned him on the wall, while one of the guy stood in the middle enjoying the frightened look on his victim’s face.
“No… No…” He struggled vigorously, trying his best to break free from the grip but he couldn’t.
“Baekhyun?” A deep voice called out for his name.
“Baekhyun?!” A voice pulled him back from reality. He then realized it was just a bad dream. Someone was already sitting on his bedside. His eyes adjusted slowly to the darkness only to realize it was Chanyeol.
“Cha-Chan-Chanyeol? Why are you here?” He remembered that Chanyeol went to his room to sleep.
“I hear noises coming from your room so I thought you were still awake. Did you have a bad dream?” Baekhyun nodded. Chanyeol ruffled his hair.
“Don’t worry, it’s just a dream. I’ll be here until you fall asleep.” He cooed and tucked Baekhyun back in bed. Baekhyun wanted to reject his offer, but the sincerity in his eyes made it hard for Baekhyun. Chanyeol held his cold hands with warm hands.
He was running hand in hand with someone on the never ending grassland. The sun was shining warmly at them. He turned his head to the side to look at the man running beside him but he couldn’t see his face clearly as the sunlight was shining bright from his back.
Baekhyun pulled the guy down with him to lie on the ground and enjoy the view of the blue sky. He was smiling at him, his smile wasn’t like those that sent shiver down his spine, it was rather calming and smoothing to his heart.
Seeing the man lying beside him getting up, he immediately grabbed his hand.
“Don’t leave me.” Instead of pulling his hands away, the man turned around and planted a kiss on his forehead.
“I won’t, I promise.”
He woke up in a different room. It was much colder than his own room but was kept warm by the blanket and the human size heater lying beside him. He didn’t remember how he ended up in Chanyeol but it might have something to do with last night.
Chanyeol’s words last night left a deep impression in Baekhyun. The way Chanyeol treated him, it made him feel as if he was really important to him. He wasn’t just someone he brought, he was more than that. He couldn’t deny that he did have feeling for Chanyeol, but it was not yet love. He didn’t want to get his hopes high because he knows how painful it is to fall down from hopes.
It so painful that changed his whole life.
In the past he always dreamt of himself standing with a lovely bride in front of the altar as they swore to be together forever in front of the god but now in his dream he was with a guy. Even though there wasn’t a beautiful church, neither did they swear to heaven for eternity love. It was just the two of them and he actually felt it was enough. With what happened, does he still have the rights to start his own family?
His body was touched by too many different men. Can he really find someone that doesn’t care about his past? The most important thing was can he even get his freedom back from Chanyeol. He wanted to get out of the bed and return to his room but he was afraid that he will wake Chanyeol up. He tried to keep his movement to the minimum but Chanyeol still felt it. Rather than turning his back away from him, Chanyeol patted gently on his head.
“Don’t worry, I’m here.” He muttered sleepily. It then dawn on Baekhyun that why he was in Chanyeol’s room. It was because he was worried. Baekhyun closed his eyes and his lips curled up naturally as he relaxed and fell back to sleep.
Perhaps just this once…
After that day, Baekhyun didn’t avoid Chanyeol instead he became comfortable around him. He smiled and joke more than usual. Chanyeol could feel the wall between them slowly disappearing. It was a good sign. It was what Chanyeol was hoping from the day he brought Baekhyun out of that hell place.
He might not know Baekhyun during his teenage days, but as long the same smile he loves stay it was enough him. It was finally Saturday, despite how much Chanyeol didn’t want to go, he still had to. But Baekhyun’s presence made him more willingly to go.
Baekhyun stood infront of Chanyeol, adjusting his tie for him and making sure he looked neat and smart. Even though he holds a different surname, he’s still the son of Wu cooperation.
“Okay, done.” A satisfied smile formed on his face.
“Thanks Baekhyun.” Chanyeol could actually do it himself, he has been doing it himself since he moved out of that family but he likes to watch Baekhyun getting busy for him.
Like usual, rather than going towards the center of attention, he stood at an isolated area of the ballroom to prevent attracting any unwanted attention.
“Never seen you around before.” Baekhyun was startled by Kris’s sudden appearance but still maintain a calm composure.
“Good evening, Mr Wu.” He greeted with a bow. Chanyeol also turned around to greet his brother and his personal assistant, Joonmyun.
“Hey hyung!”
“Chanyeol, who is this new face here? Care to introduce?”
“Byun Baekhyun, my new personal secretary.” Baekhyun managed to see the slight change of Kris’s expression when Chanyeol mentioned his name but only for a short a few seconds.
“I see a replacement. By the way, Dad wants to talk to you.” Chanyeol nodded and signaled Baekhyun to follow along. Before they could even walk away, Kris stopped them again.
“In private.” Kris added. Chanyeol sighed and turned to look at Baekhyun. He patted gently on his head and smiled.
“Wait for me here. Don’t go around.” Baekhyun nodded. Kris made sure Chanyeol went far before turning his attention back to Baekhyun.
“I don’t know how you managed to get my brother to be interested to you even though he doesn’t go to those places. He even went to look for Kai for help. I hope you didn’t get close to Chanyeol with the thought of getting Byun’s cooperation back with his help.” Baekhyun could feel a cold chill running down his spine. How did Kris know that Kai brought it for Chanyeol?
“Understand your position and don’t ever betray your master. You are just someone he bought with money.” He has no right to be angry. It was true. He was just someone he brought with money. No relationship can last when it is maintain with money. Chanyeol will one day get bored and just used him before deposing him off.
“I understand.” His words knocked him out of his dreams. He will never be able to be his friend, he was never on an equal standing with Chanyeol he bought him from there.
“Congrats.” Mr Jung congratulates Kris.
“Thank you for coming.”
“Who is this young lad here? Isn’t he the one who was brought by Kai recently at the auction? Why is he here?” Baekhyun looked down to avoid his gaze. He was one of customer of his but wasn’t a regular but it was enough to make Baekhyun feel uncomfortable with just his presence.
“Kai gave Chanyeol as a present. He is currently Chanyeol’s new secretary.” Kris lied without even blinking his eyes. Baekhyun couldn’t understand why Kris lied to him.
“Well, too bad I’m not dealing any business with your brother. Well since I am here, we should settle our little deal.” He smirked and scanned the young male who was standing beside him.
“Of course, Joonmyun will be sent over to your hotel room tonight along with the contract.” Joonmyun bowed and smiled politely back at the man.
“He looked much better in real life, I hope he will be as obedient as what I saw that day.”
“He will, you don’t have to worry.” Baekhyun couldn’t believe what he had just heard. Rumour of business man, including extra benefits in the contract that’s wasn’t written was actually true and it was actually happening right in front of him.
“Mr Jung, let’s join in the toast.” Kris then led Mr Jung away from them.
“Surpirsed? You’ll face it someday too.” Joonmyun finally spoke up after ensuring everyone around them went away for the toast. Baekhyun stayed silence for a moment as he watched Chanyeol from afar. Joonmyun’s words started to make him feel worried. Worried that the Chanyeol standing right in front of him wasn’t the real Chanyeol, it was just his facade to get him to be loyal to him.
“Can I ask why you were willing to do this?” He could see the hint of sadness in Joonmyun’s eyes.
“Love is a dangerous pit. Once you fall too deep, you can’t pull yourself out and end up losing yourself for that certain someone.” Joonmyun noticed that they had finished their toast and Chanyeol was walking towards their direction. He gave Baekhyun a pat on his shoulder and left. His words seemed as if it was hinting something, like a possible future where he will end up like Joonmyun. He would give up his own body for Chanyeol.
“Something happened?” Baekhyun looked up at Chanyeol who was looking worriedly at him but Joonmyun's words made him think twice. Was he really caring for him?
“No. Nothing.” He replied and looked down. It doesn’t look like nothing to Chanyeol at all.
