never feel bad about having an attitude with annoying men they need their egos brought down a little, they don't feel bad about being a bitch so why should you?

CHAPTER 2. |Baekhyun’s POV|

Part 1: https://bbaconbyun.tumblr.com/post/163253235613/im-currently-writing-a-novel-called-night —————————————————

It was late at night, we were all exhausted. We had been practicing for hours, non stop. Our breathing was heavy and fast, the floor was covered in sweat. I liked to take those points as a proof of our hard work. When the song ended; for what seemed the hundredth time, we all agreed to get something to drink and take a small break for fifteen minutes. I always found funny how each one of us drank a different thing, after all this years, I had memorised what each one of the boys liked, and I’m sure they did too. -I want to go to sleep- Chanyeol said leaning against the chair. The dark circles under his eyes where prominent, just like mine, just like everyone else’s. -We’re almost done- Suho looked at the clock -We should head back, let’s see if we can finish a bit earlier- he stood up and we all followed him. Even though we were all so tired, the boys keep on making jokes and I made them too, it was like an unspoken contract we all had. We had to energise each other. I opened the door of the practice room and that’s when I first saw her. -What the fuck?- the words escaped my mouth. When the boys heard this, they peered out to see what was going on. She was lying down in the middle of the room, her hair was covering her face and she was wearing something similar to hospital clothes, but they were ash grey. -She isn’t dead, right?- the panic in Sehun’s voice almost made me laugh. Minseok approached her slowly and he kneeled next to her. He extended his hand towards her, removing the curtain of hair. He put two of his fingers under her nose -She’s breathing. -Sehun, go get the manager, quick- I said without taking my eyes off of the ghostly girl that was lying down -We should move her somewhere else- I suggested. -Let’s take her to the meeting room- Suho joined Minseok so to carry her. Before asking for help, they both tried carrying her, and by the expressions on their faces I could notice that the girl was very light weight. We moved her to the meeting room and laid her down on a couch. -Oh, Lord- our manager said while looking at the unconscious girl. -What do we do?- Suho asked. -We wait outside- we all left the room and started discussing who she was, how did she get in, among other things. Each one of the boys, myself included, said out loud different suppositions and questions, the one thing in common was the confusion. We heard the couch creak and we became silent. I was about to open the door when the manager stopped me. -All of you wait here- he entered the room and closed the door behind him. We didn’t make a sound so to hear the conversation, even though he was the only one speaking. At some point he raised his voice, but not in the usual tone he used when he was mad at us, his voice indicated that he was really pissed of. I gave a quick glance at Suho and he nodded, then I opened the door. What I saw was the terrified expression of the girl. -Let me handle this- I said to our manager, this girl wasn’t going to speak if she was terrified and I was sure the manager wasn’t going to be able to control himself. I sat down slowly in the couch, the girl’s eyes were carefully observing. -Don’t be scared- I tried to make my voice low and slow -I’m Baekhyun, but I guess you already know that- after hearing the questions of the manager, if she really was paired up with the paparazzis, it didn’t have any sense to play dumb. She shook her head, denying the affirmation I had made. -You don’t know who I am?- I asked, another denial -You don’t know who any of them are?- I pointed the boys. Once again, she shook her head. -Do you know where you are?- I tried a different question. -No- she spoke for the first time, in a soft voice. I felt a small smile forming in my lips. -Well, you can speak- I hoped my joke would make her calm -What’s your name? -I don’t know- she frowned. This was bad. She looked at her hands, still frowning, it seemed that she was trying to remember her own name. -How about your age?- I hoped she could be able to answer the question, but she wasn’t. I looked at the manager with a worried expression. -Is there anyone we can call, your father or mother?- the manager asked. Please say yes, I thought for myself. -I don’t think I have them- hearing her say that, made my heart drop. This girl in front of me didn’t know who she was, where she was and even worse, she might not have anyone either. -What are we going to do?- I asked the manager. -We need to take her with the police, we cant manage this type of situation- as soon as he said that, the girl’s expression turned into a panicked one. -No!- she raised her voice. -Isn’t there anything else we can do?- there should be something, anything. -What do you want to do, Baekhyun? The press is going to eat us alive, and we don’t even know if she isn’t lying! Don’t you find it odd that she doesn’t remember a single thing?- he was getting angry again, and panicked too. I was about to speak back but Chen intervened. -I don’t think she’s lying- he said. -You too, Chen?- the manager said skeptical. -Look at her, she’s terrified- I was glad that he had seen too that the fear of the girl was veridical -We can’t just give her away to the police. What are they even going to do? She has no one to call and for sure, nowhere to go- It was like he just read my mind. -I’m going to ask you the same as Baekhyun then. What is your god damn plan?- Chen doubted, he didn’t have a plan too. We had to think of something before our manager lost all of his patience and handed the situation to the police. -She can come with me- I quickly said, it was the only thing that I could think of. The manager and the boys looked at me shocked, I realised my suggestion didn’t sound well -I mean, she can come with me until we decide what to do with her or until she remembers something that can be useful for us. -And what if she doesn’t remember anything? What if the press finds out? We don’t need an scandal- I understood why was the manager so concerned, it wasn’t an easy situation. -Lets make a deal, if she doesn’t remember anything in 2 months, then you can handle the situation your own way. But, if she does remember anything, myself and the boys will decide what’s the best for her- the manager looked uneasy. -What if the press finds out? -Then you make up a lie, you have done it many times before, I don’t see why you couldn’t do it now- I felt that instead of making the things easier for the manager, I was complicating them. -We have a deal- he said -You have two months , Baekhyun, no more. If this girl doesn’t remember anything after those two months, I will put an end to your beneficent act. Be careful when you leave the building- when he agreed I felt that I could breath again. He left the room, leaving me and the boys alone with the girl. -What were you thinking, Baekhyun?- Chanyeol asked worried. I knew he was making up the worst possible scenarios in his head. -I’m not sure- and I really wasn’t, I was about to take this unknown girl to my home, and I didn’t know how things could turn out -But I just couldn’t toss her away, I don’t think it’s right. -Let us know if you need anything- Chanyeol looked at the girl and then at me -And I mean anything, Baek- he was dead worried. I replaced my thank you with a head nod, I was grateful of having the boys by my side. I looked at the girl, she had been silent all this time, but I knew she had been observing and listening every single thing. -Come on, let’s get going- I said to her. She looked at me and by seeing her relieved expression I knew I had done the right thing. Still, I tried to ignore a weird sensation that started settling all over my body.
