Chapter 19

Silent Sacrifice

I was feeling uneasy for the past few weeks. At first, it seems like there is someone following me or watching me whenever I reach my apartment.

Then after few days I finally get a glimpse of the person as he was semi-hiding behind a car. He looks kinda familiar. I don't really quite remember where I met him before. Since then, I will always walk back hurriedly as I saw him.

He then starts to appear in front of me when he realized that I had recognized him.

"Hello, Sweetie." He smiles and greets me. I felt awkward and frightened as he did that. And then I suddenly remembered that he was that same guy from that club. How did he manage to find out where I live. Oh gosh, he is one creepy guy.

There were times that Taecyeon would accompany me back and I still see him in a distant. I have never told Taecyeon about this.

After some time, he boldly comes and walks with me to the entrance of the building. Whenever I see him appeared I would run away fast. He even gave me flowers which I refused to take and as scared as I am I tried to speak up. "Err... Mister, I already have a boyfriend, so can you please stop doing this."

"I know, but I like you ever since that day we met at the club." I feel even more fearful when I hear his reply.

Right after that, I would always ask to meet Taecyeon with every chance I can. I even offered to work as his assistant again as often as possible so that I won't have to go home alone.

"You are getting strange, Timid Mouse. Do you really miss me that much, it's like almost every day you asked to meet me now." He said smilingly.

"Can we do that? Will you be bored with me, having to see me every day?" I asked as we arrived at the apartment.

"Of course, I won't be bored. I love to see you every day, but... "

"But what?" I asked eagerly.

"I have to go to Japan next week.

You know right?" I nodded but somehow I felt myself trembling.

He quickly held me tightly. "Why are you so sad?"

I then realized this is not a solution. "There is someone who is following me every day..." I finally told him.

"What? Who?" I shook my head. "I don't know him. But he would always walk with me. I am really scared, Taec."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" He said looking really frustrated.

"How long have this been happening?" He asked.

"About a month..." I answered softly.

"What? You have been keeping it so long?" He raised his voice.

"Sorry..." That is the only word came out as I was sobbing already. He sat me down on the couch and held me tight again.

"It's okay. We should inform the police and the building security. I will get you a bodyguard too."

"Was he here just now?" He asked. I nodded. He sighed.

"Let's look for him." He said sounding really mad.

"No..." I shook my head. "I have to at least recognize the guy who had been stalking my girl."

"I better go and tell the security." He quickly walked out of the door. I followed him trying to catch up with him. He talks with the guard first then he went out of the building. He looks around the area to see if there is anyone hanging around. He glanced at me as he holds my hand. I shook my head as I didn't see the guy too.

We went back to the apartment. "I am staying here tonight." He announced.

"It's okay, Taec, he is gone, for now, so far he had never come into the building yet. You should go back and rest. Come back tomorrow." I said.

"I am still worried." He said. "I will just sleep here." He lied down on the couch immediately. Seeing that he is determined to stay back, I took out a pillow and a blanket and tuck him in. I sat down on the floor beside him and lay down my head on his chest and whisper, "Are you sure you will be okay, sleeping here."

His hand starts to caress my hair as he looks into my face. "I am fine here. You better go to sleep." I shook my head.

"Hmmm? You don't want to sleep?"

"Can I watch you sleep first?" I asked.

"Then I won't be able to sleep." He chuckled.

I quickly stand up and enter into my room. Knowing that he is out there does not make it easier for me to sleep. Instead, I have been turning and tossing in the bed. I decided to just go out and sneak a peek at him.

I open the door slowly, making sure I don't make a noise. I tiptoed across and stood behind the couch. I lowered myself and leaned onto the couch. He was sleeping soundly. I have been staring at him for quite some time and I was getting tired standing there, so I sat down on the floor beside him.

He was tossing over and suddenly opens his eyes. "YAHHH!" He was startled. He rubbed his eye.

"Timid Mouse?" He looked at me closer. "You really scared me." He sat up immediately.

"Sorry..." I said as I giggle at his reaction.

"What are you doing here?" He asked as he ruffled up my hair.

 "Can't sleep," I said softly.

"So you think watching me sleep here will make you doze off." I shook my head.

He pulled me up to sit on the couch and wrapped me in his arms.

“What do you suggest we do?” He said as he bumped his forehead into mine. I lowered my head as I began to feel shy.

“Yah, come here then.” He held my hand and walk into the room.

“Lie down.”” He ordered. I lowered down my body. He then tucked me in with a blanket. Then he goes and lied down beside me.

“Taec…” I whispered.

“Don’t worry, just go to sleep.” We were staring at each other now. His face was getting closer to mine.

“Just close your eyes.” He said then he lied back down as he turned to his side.

It took quite a while for me to finally doze off. I was trying to toss myself around but I felt my body was being held tightly. I open up my eyes and realize I was sleeping in his arms. I tried getting off but his grip tightens. "Stay" He murmured into my ear. Since I can't wiggle myself out, I held him tighter feeling his warmth.

The next evening, Taecyeon and I were walking back to my place as we linked our arms together. I was laughing at whatever he was saying when I saw a familiar face at the opposite of the road.

I was startled and quickly squeeze Taecyeon's arm as l hide behind him.

"What is it, Min?" He asked as he noticed the change of expression on my face. I glanced at the direction of that guy with fear.

"He is here?" Taecyeon asked. I nod a little.

"Where?" I look to where the guy was standing. Taecyeon follows to where I looked. The guy was looking at us. He knew we were talking about him and came over.

"Hey, Sweetie. I see you had already told your boyfriend here." He laughed out. I was looking at him in disbelief and I think Taecyeon might probably be thinking the same thing.

"You have the guts to come over here" Taecyeon hissed.

"Chill out Mr. Ok Taecyeon." The guy snickered.

"So you know me?" Taecyeon asked. "Of course! I have to know my opponent well." The guy replied.

"If you know who I am, then you would have known better not to touch my girl! Don't you even dare come near her!” He blared out while clenching on the guy's shirt. I was afraid that they would start a fight so I quickly tugged on his arm.

"Taec, please don't," I called out to him.

Fortunately, Taecyeon followed me back to the apartment as he drapes his arm on my shoulder.

The guy grabbed my hand and pulled me to his side as he held me tight. "What if I did?" The guy touched my chin.

"Ah... My Sweetie." I was so scared that I push him away with all my might.

"Oooo.. you are still that strong, Sweetie." He said as he was shoved off. Taecyeon, on the other hand, grabbed him and punched him in his face. The guy fell down to the ground, he quickly stood up and grabbed Taecyeon and punched him in his stomach. Taecyeon almost fell down, I ran to him immediately trying to pull him away, but he quickly pushed me off, he went and grabbed that guy and was wrestling with him as they rolled down on the ground then Taecyeon pulled him up and punched him a few more times. The guy dropped to the ground again. I quickly ran to Taecyeon's side.

"Taec, let's just go." I dragged him away. “No, Min, go and call the guards.” But I didn’t really move as I am scared that Taecyeon might be hurt

“Go!” Taecyeon shouted and I quicken my pace and went into the building. When I informed the guard he quickly called the police before going outside.

I went out as fast as possible as I was really worried about Taecyeon. When I got out, The guy was on top Taecyeon and was punching him. Then Taecyeon struggled to push him away and in turn, the guy was pushed down the ground again. I can’t stand it and went to dragged Taecyeon away from him again.

“Please stop…Taec,” He wasn’t moving, so I pulled him harder. He finally walked away as I held his arm tightly, the guards were there about to catch him.

"YAH!.OK, TAECYEON! The guy shouted. We turned around, and I noticed the guy was heading our way while holding what I think was a knife in his hand. Seeing Taecyeon in danger, I rushed to cover him as I held him down. I cried in pain as the sharp thing stuck to my lower back.

"Min!" I heard him calling before I out.
