Second Chance

88.Take care of her

"Baekhyun?"

"Hello? Baekhyun?!"

Annoyed, Baekhyun turns to look at the pest that broke him out of his thoughts.

"What Haruto?"

Haruto frown, "What's wrongs with you? I asked you a question, but you didn't answer. Sheesh."

Baekhyun: "What is it?"

Haruto: "I said, did hyung say anything to you on that day?"

Baekhyun stare unblinking at Haruto then his eyes move back to the window.

'Did hyung say anything....'

He could remember that day as if it was just yesterday... no.. as if it had just happened. It was a nightmare he will never forget. action

A nightmare he has yet to wake up from.

——

Three years ago....

Baekhyun was with Sehun, waiting for the groom to get ready. Everything went smoothly with nothing admist.

Baekhyun was happy for his brother and sister. They were bound by the red thread of fate.

When 8am arrived, Sehun wanted to go to the church first. He wanted to arrive before his soon to be wife and welcome her with opening arms.

Instead of driving Baekhyun's car, Sehun wanted to drive his Aston Martin One. Baekhyun didn't find anything wrong with the idea so he agreed.

However, who would have thought, half way to the church, Sehun's car brakes suddenly stopped working. Sounds of cars honking could be heard from every direction. They ran light after light.

Sehun had always loved racing, so they made it without hitting any other cars or getting hit.

But their only option left was to crash the car into something to stop it. Just when they found a good spot with no pedestrians..... a semi-truck smash into their car from Sehun's side. The car was total but the both of them survived with a few wounds.

Baekhyun was able to get out of the car and help Sehun get out, but the moment he got Sehun out, his eyes widen in disbelief.

"Hyung...."

Sehun was smiling his usual free spirit smile, his smile was one that can make someone want to smile too.. but... blood... there were blood coming out of his nose and mouth..

"Hyung... you're—"

*thud*

Before Baekhyun could finish, Sehun had fainted.

"Hyung!!!!!!!"

Baekhyun remembered calling the ambulance, but he didn't remember how he got inside. Everything happened so fast. As if he was in a terrifying nightmare.

Inside the ambulance, the paramedics had put an oxygen mask on Sehun to help stabilize him. But... he kept coughing. His cough was far worse than usual.

"Hyung! Hold on! We're almost to the hospital!"

Sehun couldn't answer but try to gasp for more air and cough.

"Hyung!!"

Baekhyun felt helpless watching as more blood continue to escape Sehun's mouth. Each time he cough, more blood ooze out.

A paramedic change the oxygen mask because the blood was clogging the oxygen airway for Sehun. Just when a new mask was about to be put on, Sehun weakly lift his hand to stop the paramedic.

"Baekhyun...."

Sehun turn his head to look at Baekhyun, his eyes held thousands of emotions. However, his eyes at this moment were mainly filled with guilt and regret.

"Help me... take care of her....."

——

"Baekhyun? Baekhyun? Hyung?"

Coming back to reality, Baekhyun turn his head and stare at his friend for a long minute, then he slowly shook his head.

"Hyung didn't tell me anything, except to take care of her."

For his hyung, he will take care of her. Even if it meant till the end of him, he will watch her from the shadows.
