SILENCE LOVE'S

Chapter 5's

I was curled up in my room crying. Ah, stupidly I why should I cry because of a man like Baekhyun? A heartless man and an arrogant man! I should've let him bleed to death last night in that house. The fans in Korea should thank me for saving their idol. Ah, do I need to call Yoojung and tell her that her idol now lives near my house?

But I still want to live quietly. I didn't want to be called continuously just because he asked Baekhyun who said he was a friendly, sweet, and handsome man. Throw away all that praise when dealing with me because I'm fed up with that guy. In less than two weeks I'm going back to Canada and I'm not going to see that guy again.

A bell rang, accompanied by a subtle knock from the figure in front of my house. I wiped my rough tears and went down to open the door. I was silent when I saw Lay in front of my house and he smiled.

"May I come in, Sohyun?" he asked when I just opened the door with a small and peeked at it with one eye, like a frightened person. I finally opened the door and let Lay into my house.

"Would you come here? Tell your friend I won't bother him anymore" I said cynically.

Lay sat down on the sofa and looked at me, "I'm sorry about that. Actually it was our fault because we teased him. He got upset and finally said that."

"But should he talk like that and humiliate me, huh? You know that offends me so much!"

"He ever kissed you?"

Lay's sudden and strange question made me cough with my own saliva. I widened my eyes and looked at Lay who was now smiling at me.

"Why are you asking like that?" I was surprised and a little embarrassed. I recall technically the annoying guy kissing me, even though our lips were blocked by the mask he was wearing. Oh, come on, Sohyun! Stop thinking about that!

"The news about Baekhyun being in London has spread on social media. Some fans took pictures of him running down the street and the last photo, he pulled a girl who looked like you" Lay replied.

"REally?!" seruku surprised. I quickly opened my phone and found out about the news and damn it, it was true. Many websites and social media are talking about Baekhyun and a girl who is none other than me! Baekhyun's strange speculation of vacuum because a girl is a trending topic in my country and some countries in the world!

I don't think my life is safe now.

"We asked Baekhyun how did you survive that day from fanatical fans? With a red face, he said he kissed you on the corner of the wall at the dead end." Lay smilingly looked at my slowly blushing face. Baekhyun so assumed that it was a kiss, huh?!

"Technically we kissed," I replied while holding half-dead shame, "But not directly because he was wearing a mask."

Lay chuckled at what I said, "Please forgive him. I'm sure he didn't mean to say that. It's all our fault that it's mocked him and made his face as red as a pomegranate. So he finally said something he was not fit to say. And now he threw us out of his room and he wants to be alone after saying that to you. I'm afraid something will happen strange considering his mental state is not good."

I was silent at what Lay said. Why is it that from the story, Baekhyun isn't such a bitch?

The man sighed and continued, "He suffers from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder."

I was stunned and shocked to hear Lay's statement. This is information I just found out.

"I'm a personal psychology doctor and Baekhyun's old best friend. So I knew the circumstances," Lay replied, "My name is Zhang Yixing, but I used to be called Lay. You can call me that."

"Why could he have such a disease?" I asked Lay. I started to get interested in this subject and I approached the sofa and intended to sit down.

"I'll tell you, but.. May I have a glass of water? I think it's a long conversation."

I patted my forehead and quickly went to the kitchen to bring a glass of water, put down the glass of water and he drank it a little. Sohyun, you are not a good host!

Lay began to tell stories as I sat on the sofa, "Baekhyun suffered a great trauma after the accident a year ago. It was pretty bad and it made big news in Korea. Killed ten people because it was a consecutive accident, and one of the victims was his lover."

I was again stunned to hear this news because I did not know the news that happened in Korea considering I live in Canada and did not have time to open the internet goods even at night.

Lay continued, "They're making a fuss in the car. Yes, her lover was with Baekhyun back then. They had a long debate until Baekhyun did not focus on the road and a truck passed from the right side of their car. You must know who got hit first?

"Baekhyun survived while according to the news, his lover was critical. Moreover, the situation of the woman was very bad. Wounds all over his body and broken legs. Baekhyun regained consciousness and he saw all the accidents with his own eyes. She hysterically sees her lover in a state between life and death. Now, he was traumatized by the broken glass because it reminded him of the accident.

"His love is now dead because it has not been helped. Baekhyun barely deals with the law if only Baekhyun's family did not request the cancellation of the case reporting. So that the case of this accident was closed just like that and Baekhyun had to pay compensation to the family who lost family members such as financial assistance. I don't know what the process is and I don't need to know to interfere with it either.

I only had time to go to his grave after the girl was buried and I did not have time to come to the funeral home at that time. Baekhyun himself did not come to the funeral home and until now had never been to the tomb of his lover. And I also didn't advise him to come given his mental state."

Lay ends his story with a sigh.

My angry and upset feelings for Baekhyun seemed to overflow replaced with feelings of pity and sadness. Imagining the loss of our loved ones is so sad even more so you look at all of those events with your own eyes.

"His depression was quite severe and it made him have to vacuum from the entertainment world in a few months. During this year I became his personal psychologist but there was no significant change from him. I wish for you, Sohyun. Please help Baekhyun recover from his trauma." Lay looked at me expectantly.

"How can I help him heal if he doesn't want to be friends with me himself?" muttered.

Lay sighed and smiled, "I know it won't be easy because since then Baekhyun has been a cold person who does not care. Actually, he is a warm person even though the cold predicate is still attached because Baekhyun is an introvert.

"But I'm sure you can do it, Sohyun. Please, as long as he's here, I hope you'll help to take care of him."

And somehow due to what wind, I slowly nodded my head and it made Lay smile. He patted me on the shoulder slowly and then went back to Baekhyun's house.

The rain this afternoon made it cold and the temperature dropped again touching the five-degree mark. I opened my laptop and prepared to write again. With white rice and kimchi, I started tickling the keyboard and pouring out what was on my head. The peek across my house still feels crowded because Baekhyun's four friends have not returned to Korea.

The news I knew from Kyungsoo when he delivered the porridge he made to me, they will be home in three days and it makes Baekhyun more locked himself in the room because of Chanyeol's violent attitude that makes Baekhyun's head hurt. Ah, ja. Helena was with me this time. This beautiful girl is studying.

"You're saying Baekhyun's friend is a psychology doctor?" ask Helena who is now reading a medical report that she brought to my house.

"Yes. You know Posttraumatic Stress Disorder?" my question was answered with a nod by Helena.

"That's a severe mental disorder in my opinion. ... Does Baekhyun suffer from the disease?" ask Helena. I just nodded my head and grabbed my food and put it in my mouth.

"I just found out from Lay, Baekhyun's psychologist friend."

Helena nodded her head slowly, "It must have been a terrible event that shook her mentally. Naturally he became so annoying and impressed isolating himself from the surrounding environment."

"Is the disease unknowable if you just look at it?" I asked Helena.

I nodded my head and intended to continue my writing again. But the phone calls interrupted my activities. An unknown number was plastered on my phone.

"Hello?" my answer.

"Hi, Sohyun! It's good to talk to you again!" said a heavy voice across there.

"Taehyung?"

"Yes, it's me" replied Taehyung.

"Oh, how are you?" I asked him in Korean.

"Good, as always. What are you doing?" ask Taehyung.

I smiled at her question, "Finish my writing and you're bothering me, Mister."

There was a small ruckus sound there, "Really? Then I'm sorry. I just want to take you out of the city from London. Do you want to?" ask Taehyung.

I was quite hesitant because yes, we just got to know. Although he is from the same country as me, but still I can not agree to the invitation of people I just know.

"Hey, you don't have to be afraid. There are many Koreans there as well. If you want to take your friend, take it. I just thought of you as looking for ideas for your writing" he said.

"I think you really are a psychic, Mister Kim!" seruku happy. He laughed across there.

"We're going to Edensor. The village is having an interesting festival and many Korean tourists are there. I got the news from a friend of mine who happened to be invited by his company. I'll pick you up at your house later. Just bring a friend if you want to," he said again.

"Ah, okay. Just let me know if you pick me up, okay?" I said smile back.

"OKAY. Good night, Miss!" he said then turned off the connection.

"Who?" helena asked me with a soft look, "Is she your lover?"

"I don't have a boyfriend, Miss. He's an acquaintance of mine who lives in London, and he's Korean. He's taking me to Edensor tomorrow and I can bring a friend. Can you accompany me there tomorrow?" I'm bargaining with Helena.

"Ah, I'm so sorry. I have a busy schedule tomorrow," he replied which made me sigh. He smiled and continued, "Why don't you just take Baekhyun? She needs a vacation out of her house instead of crouching inside."

Also true.

I was silent thinking about that man named Baekhyun. He wanted to invite her, but did he want to?

"I will ask him" said I, who was nodding at Helena. I came out, knocked on the door of his house and Sehun opened the door. I was quite surprised to see that handsome guy having nights like this.

"Hi, Sohyun. Come in first," he let me in.

"I want to talk to Baekhyun, okay?" ask me Sehun. The man smiled again, "Come to his room. He had just eaten dinner and he immediately locked himself in his room. Fortunately, the house had two rooms for where we stayed. Otherwise, maybe we slept on the couch remembering his attitude like that."

Yep. Baekhyun's house is bigger than mine.

I went upstairs and knocked on Baekhyun's room. From the opposite direction, Chanyeol, Lay, and Kyungsoo came out of their rooms.

"Oh, what is Sohyun here?" chanyeol asked scratching his head and was a little surprised. I'm guessing he still feels awkward about this afternoon. I'm not upset anymore I don't know why. Maybe it's because I already know what happened to Baekhyun.

"I want to talk to Baekhyun. All of you are listening, too" I replied smiling.

I knocked on Baekhyun's room, "Baekhyun! Can I come in? I want to talk to you."

Without much waiting, Baekhyun suddenly opened the door. His face was flat and cold as usual.

"Heol.. Sohyun's turn to call, you open it quickly, Baekhyun!" chanyeol.

"What's wrong?" ask Baekhyun to me without hinting at Chanyeol's words.

"I want to go to Edensor tomorrow. You want to come with me?" take me to him. But the one who answered my question was the four men next to me.

"You!" chanyeol Excited enthusiast.

"I heard there's an interesting festival there!" kyungsoo.

"Hey, Baekhyun. You have to come!" sehun.

"Can, right, we come too, Sohyun?" ask Lay at the end.

I nodded my head, "Let my friend come tomorrow to pick me up. He said I could bring a friend."

I looked back at Baekhyun who seemed to be thinking.

"You should take a vacation outside the house. It's free for you to go all the way to England just to languish in this house. There are many beautiful places in London and its surroundings" I said again.

He stared at my bead for five seconds then nodded his head.

"All right, I'm coming, '" he replied.
