Chapter 19 - Baekhyun

Fragile Eternity

   Baekhyun held Lara’s hand and moved to and fro cheerfully. Seeing him acted that way made Lara smile. They were walking home from school when Lara was passing a playground that had been built since Lara was a little.

   Lara then decided to ask Baekhyun to visit the park. The playground consisted of a couple of swings and a slide, surrounded by bushes and trees.

   Lara asked Baekhyun to sit on the single swing. "Baekhyun, this is called swing. Do you know how to play it?" Lara asked.

   “S-wing?” asked Baekhyun confused.

   "Yeah, let me show you how." said Lara again after Baekhyun sat on the swing.

   “Now grab these two ropes beside you and maintain your balance." said Lara then tried to push Baekhyun slowly towards the front direction.

   "Woah ..." said Baekhyun amazed when he felt he was sitting on a something that swung back and forth.

After seeing Baekhyun already felt comfortable in his position, Lara pushed it again a little harder and he started swinging again.

   "Woah, this is very exciting..." he said again.

   Lara smiled seeing Baekhyun who felt happy while riding the swing. Lara also sat on the other swing besides Baekhyun and started to swing using her feet. Both were smiling and enjoying their swings.

   Baekhyun, which seems to have advanced and were able to move the swing by his own using his legs began swinging his swing faster and higher.

   "Baekhyun, be careful. Don’t swing too high." said Lara who started to worry about Baekhyun.

   “Yeah, I understand. But this is so fun!!!” shouted Baekhyun.

   Lara then thought it was okay and let him to have some fun.

   Lara was also enjoying her time, feeling the breeze of wind touched her face and closed her eyes.

   Since she was a little, she didn’t have a lot of the opportunity to have fun like that. Because her parents left her when she was five years old, and Kate’s attitude which didn’t allow her to play too long outside, she didn’t have a chance to have fun like that.

   “Woah..woah!!”

   Lara suddenly opened her eyes upon hearing Baekhyun’s scream. Unconsciously, Baekhyun was then swinging far higher than the last time Lara saw him.

   Baekhyun looked panic and scared.

   "Baekhyun, calm down! Try to stop swinging your feet above the ground and let your swing slow down. It will stop swinging.” said Lara with a worried tone.

    Baekhyun heard what Lara said, but because of the panic he couldn’t stop swinging his feet which caused his swing became even higher.

   "Aaaah!! No, what should I do??" he said, confused.

   Lara slowing down her own swing and immediately stood up then tried to help Baekhyun to slow the swing down. But at the same time she was afraid that if she held the swing, Baekhyun would fall. Lara became increasingly worried and anxious of what to do.

   At that time, Baekhyun who could no longer contained his anxiety finally jumped to the front. Still in the state of panic, his legs kicking the air as he jumped and separated from his swing.

   Surprised, Lara rushed towards him, trying to catch him although she knew that Baekhyun would fall on top of her.

   She held out her hand to the front, preparing to catch Baekhyun. A second later, Baekhyun suddenly floating in the air, 'Baekhyun, calm down. I got you." said Luhan to Baekhyun through telepathy.

   Baekhyun then slowly flying and touched the ground safely. Lara then ran to Baekhyun’s position to make sure he was alright.

   Still feeling surprised, Baekhyun couldn’t say anything yet for the help he received from Luhan.

   'Baekhyun, are you okay?" asked Luhan again through telepathy.

After a few seconds Baekhyun finally responded, "I'm okay, thank you Luhan hyung." said Baekhyun toward the trees.

'Luhan?' then Lara noticed the trees and found Luhan there.

   Luhan who was watching and making sure if Baekhyun was fine surprised when Lara looked at him. Then they looked at each other, Luhan smiled awkwardly towards Lara.     

   "Are you sure you’re okay?" asked Lara again to Baekhyun.

   "Yeah...I just surprised. Haaaah..." said Baekhyun.

   "You’re alright now. Let's sit over there." exclaimed Lara, pointing to the swing that could be occupied by two people.

   "What? No, I don’t want to. I don’t want to ride it again." responded Baekhyun who was still traumatized by the swing he'd just rode earlier.

   "No, this one won’t make you fly again, I'll ride it with you." said Lara again.

   "All right." agreed Baekhyun.

   They went to the swing that could be occupied by two people. Baekhyun still clinging to Lara, and Lara was still holding Baekhyun beside her.

   "Ah, I was so scared..." he said again thinking that he had just nearly fell while jumping earlier.

   "I'm sorry, I shouldn’t let you just like that." Lara felt guilty.

   "No, it's not your fault. It’s my own fault. Moreover, it was actually quite fun. Really. I was just surprised. That’s it." said Baekhyun trying to convince Lara.

   "Really?" asked Lara.

   "Yes, even right now. The air feels so relaxing..." said Baekhyun, leaning his head on Lara’s shoulder and they started to swing slowly.

   Baekhyun held Lara’s hand and enjoying the moment together with Lara.
