Understanding Simple (Chanyeol X Reader)

Chapter 43

A/N: Hellooo! So, I just had a 10 hour car ride to North Carolina! This gave me time to write 4 chapters! So, I will be posting only one a day because hey—I'm a troll. I hope you enjoy!! -Tara

I run up the stairs, my heart pounding out of my chest.

I hear the second pair of footsteps bound up the stairs behind me.

The whole house is dark except for glimmering streams of light creeping in through the windows. I whip my head around for a split second, catching a glimpse of the person behind me. I run into one of the rooms and slam the door behind me, locking it quickly.

I grab a chair and shove it under the doorknob, trying to think of what to do. Of course I had to run into one of the only rooms without a window.

He said they wouldn't come inside.

I pull out my phone and dial 911.

"Hello, 911, what is your emergency?"

"Hello, there is someone in my house, I don't know who it is, or if they armed, but I need help," I say panicked.

"Okay ma'am, please tell me your address and I will send someone right away," she says calmly.

I tell her my address and hang up. I hear a pound in the door, and shrink into the back corner, trying to hide in the darkness. I dial Chanyeol's number.

It rings until the answering machine sounds, of course, he's at practice.

I decide to leave a message.

When I speak, my voice is very strained, I try to calm myself down, "Chanyeol, there's someone in the house. I don't know who it is, but they have chased me into a room, and-" I hear another pound on the door. The chair jiggles.

"-and I'm really afraid...there's someone on the way but I'm so scared and-"

The door pounds again until I hear a large cracking noise and the door falls to the floor with a crash. I look up, the phone still pressed to my ear. I'm frozen in fear as the person in black advances.

"(Y/n)," it whispers in a dark voice.

It crouches down to me, lifting its mask. I can't tell what they look like because of the darkness. It's face gets closer to mine, I cringe backward, thinking

This is just a dream. Wake up, wake up....

I close my eyes, feeling something wet touch my cheek. I shriek in terror and thrash around.

"(Y/n)! (Y/n)!" I hear Chanyeol's voice.

My eyes open and I am in bed, Chanyeol shaking me.

Tears stream down my face, "you said they w-wouldn't c-come inside..." I choke out.

"(Y/n), it's okay, you're okay, I'm here. No one is in here," he murmurs.

I curl up into him, my tears drenching his shirt, "do you want to talk about it?"

I manage to tell him everything that happened in my vivid dream as he gently rubs my back.

"I'm so scared, Chanyeol...what if this dream is trying to tell me something?" I ask.

"It's okay, (y/n), I wouldn't let anything happen to you. You are safe with me," he reasons.

"But what about when you're not home?"

"Trust me, (y/n), everything will be alright."

I wake up in the morning, the bed cold with Chanyeol gone. I walk down stairs and get a cup of tea, sitting on the sun porch.
