Chapter 09.

Our Protector

Wah~” Chanyeol screamed when we reached the lake.

The boys immediately jumped in the water and I smiled. I guess it was good for them to have a vacation after promoting so much with their debut.

I looked around at all the trees and open space. There had to be someone there, waiting for me to get caught off guard. Or maybe I'm paranoid.

I sat on the dock and swung my legs as my feet hit the water.

Lay splashed me and quickly went under water when I turned to glare at him.

“Chanyeol, get him back for me,” I told him.

He smirked and shook his head. “Not unless you get in too.”

“But I don't have a bathing suit.”

“Neither do we!” Suho yelled, swimming backwards.

“Or you could come in with your birthday suit,” Kai suggested wiggling his eyebrows.

Chanyeol pushed his head under the water.

“On second thought, don't come in. Stay up there all nice and dry and fully clothed.”

I laughed and nodded.

 

Chanyeol stared at me and swam over to the dock. He started laughing suddenly.

“What?” I asked.

“I didn't want to say anything but seriously. Who picked out that band aid?”

A hand flew to my face and I touched the band aid that Kris had put on me. I remembered that he laughed too when he put it on.

“Why?”

“It's Hello Kitty. And quite cute.”

“Then what's so funny?” I pursed my lips.

“Shall I direct my attention to the loaded gun placed firmly in your right hand?” he looked at the gun.

I shook my head with a grin. “So what? Assassin's can't wear Hello Kitty band aids?”

“Only you.” Chanyeol's eyes twinkled as he stared up at me from the water. “Can I kiss you? You look so beautiful right now. Not that you don't everyday but-”

 

I heard grunts from the edge of the lake and turned abruptly to see Kris fighting with someone dressed in black.

Oh .

I cocked my gun and aimed it at the killer but Kris had knocked him out with a blow of his fist and the man fell to the ground. I sat up and sprinted over. I heard the members start to swim over to the edge.

“This little was hiding behind a tree with a gun,” Kris explained and spit on the ground. His lip was bleeding but other than that he looked fine.

“I-I didn't know you could fight like that,” I told him.

“Experience,” he whispered.

 

The members came out of the water one by one, looking like Greek Gods and what not. I let my eyes linger on Chanyeol's flat stomach for a moment before directing my attention to the knocked out man on the ground.

I smacked the killer a couple of times but he wouldn't wake up. Xiumin found a bucket somewhere and filled it with water. He splashed water on him and he started to stir.

“Oh , where am I?” his eyes landed on Kris and tried to get away.

I grabbed him and smirked. “Nuh uh, you're not going anywhere.”

He looked at me with fear in his eyes. “Please don't kill me and sell my soul.”

I raised an eyebrow. “What things have you heard about me?”

“Lots. And that you work for Satan.”

I sighed and rolled my eyes. “Okay, tell me who you work for.”

“I can't.”

“Yes you can. Tell me something, anything. A country, location, phone number.”

“As much as I want to, I can't.”

“You're going to die anyways, might as well make yourself useful and save some lives.”

He looked at the boys and he sighed. “Japan. That's all I'm saying.”

“That's it?”

He nodded.

I twisted his neck and he fell to the ground.

 

The members gasped in shock.

“Yoonji!” Chen yelled.

“What?”

“You just...he just...” Tao tried to find the right words.

I was raised to show no mercy to the enemy so I couldn't understand why the members had a look of sorrow on their faces.

“I've done worse. You guys need to be stronger. He tried to kill you. And if it wasn't for Kris, some of you wouldn't be alive. Now can we go back to the house now? Please?”

They gave me wary looks and grabbed their shirts before turning to leave one by one.

Chanyeol walked passed me and I grabbed his arm.

“Chanyeol? Don't be upset too.”

“I'm sorry. One minute you're so gentle and harmless, the next you're lethal and ruthless. I don't know if I can get used to that side of you. I just...need to think.” he sighed and kissed my forehead before going to walk with Baekhyun.

I stared after him, frozen.

 

Kris's voice brought me back to reality.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

“Hmm? Yeah. Oh, your lip. Let's go home.”

We walked back to the house, and I brought out the first aid kit to treat him.

“I can do it,” he told me.

“You did it for me. The least I can do is treat you too. And you forgot to mention the fact that this band aid is Hello Kitty.”

He chuckled, face lighting up. “I thought it looked cute on you. I was scared you would take it off.”

“I wouldn't have but thanks, I guess.”

 

As I wiped off the blood, curiosity got the best of me. “How did you learn to fight like that?”

He didn't say anything.

“It's okay. Don't tell me.”

“It's kind of a secret,” he said. “Not even the members know. But I trust you with this one.”

I leaned back in the chair and stared at him. “Go on.”

Kris pulled up his sleeve and showed me the dragon tattoo he had on his arm.

“I was in a gang before I debuted. It's exactly what you think when you think of gangs. Guns, violence, fighting over territories. My mother got injured because of my foolish decisions and I left the crew. Wanting to start a new life, I moved to Canada and got scouted by an SM representative. When I found out that I was going to debut, the company helped me erase everything of my past. I even changed my name. That's why fans can't find my old house, school or friends. Everything is gone. Like I'm a different person.”

[the fact where kris changed his name and no one can find out anything is true btw. But the gang part, I made up.]

I blinked at him.

“So that's why you're so good at treating wounds.”

“I used to treat my brothers in the gang when we'd get into fights. I'm quite the expert now. Fighting and healing.”

I hugged him. “I'm glad you trust me so much. Your secret is safe with me.”

 

Baekhyun walked in right at that moment, munching on a bag of chips. He stopped and stared at us when we pulled away.

“Channie! Duizhang is hugging your girl!” he yelled with a nonchalant face and walked over to the living room to watch TV.

Chanyeol came running into the room and stared at Kris and I before narrowing his eyes and taking my hand.

“Mine,” Chanyeol said firmly and started walking away.

 

“Chanyeol, let go. You're hurting me.”

He wouldn't listen.
“Let go!”

“No!”

I used my self defense skills and in about 3 seconds, he was pinned under me.

“Stop being so childish!” I yelled at him.

“I'm not being childish! I'm claiming what's mine.”

“I'm not a toy. I'm a person. I am nobody's! You were the one that said you needed to think because of me! So go think!” I screamed angrily and stomped off, not wanting to be bothered by anyone.

 

That night I couldn't sleep so I sat on the balcony, legs curled up, watching the lake under the moonlight. It was incredibly beautiful and practically erased my thoughts.

“I was looking for you,” a deep voice I recognized immediately said from the door.

“Go away. I'm mad at you.”

“Why?” Chanyeol sat in the chair next to me.

I gave him a look and turned away.

“I'm sorry. It's just overwhelming. I like you so much and it was strange to see you kill someone with your bare hands without a second thought. It's different when it's a gun.”

“Killing is killing. There's no difference.”

“I suppose.”

“And for the record, I...like you too.”

 

Chanyeol stood up in front of me and made me stand up. He sat in my chair and opened his arms. I smiled and sat in between his legs as he wrapped his arms around me. Chanyeol buried his face in my neck and I leaned back. His body was so warm and I felt comforted by it.

I heard Chanyeol sigh in content as he hugged me tighter. I felt him kiss the side of my neck and my eyes widened but I didn't push him away. He placed another soft kiss in the same spot before slowly trailing up to my jawline. I closed my eyes and slowly turned my face to meet up with his. Our noses brushed a couple of times and I felt his hot, minty breath on my face.

“Chanyeol...” I whispered.

“Shhh...let me just-” he closed the already small gap between us for a kiss.

I melted into his arms when he kissed me again. Chanyeol changed our positions so I was the one underneath him.

I pulled away and looked at him, engraving this sight into my brain forever. He looked so y with his half-lidded eyes, slightly parted mouth and tousled hair.

“You...” I whispered but couldn't find the right words so I leaned forward to crash our lips together again.

His lips moved against mine slowly and I tangled my fingers in his hair as he squeezed my hips.

Chanyeol pulled away slightly, lips tickling mine teasingly.

His deep, raspy voice filled the silence.

“Mine.”

================
