chapter-5

LIFELESS.

     Chanyeol glared at baekhyun who was busy scanning everyone in the café

"Calm down man you're going to burn him with that stare of yours!" Lay patted his back making Chanyeol tare his eyes from Baekhyun and look at the latter

"You think so?" He said sarcastically making Lay chuckle

"Look at him he's so disgusting!" The latter added

"Then why are you still with him?"

"Cause i can't move on" Chanyeol confessed Lay nodded looking at the ground

" At least your condition is better than mine" He admitted making Chanyeol look down sighing

"Maybe they aren't bad Yixing don't judge a book by it's cover"

Lay looked at Baekhyun sighing

"Atleast he didn't buy you..." He said almost whispered but Chanyeol heard him making him look at Baekhyun

"But he threw me Yixing!"

"Chanyeol he's still young he'll realise it soon" 

Chanyeol nodded putting on a weak smile but Lay knew it was fake

"Hope he'll do before it's too late..." Chanyeol muttered looking back at Lay

"I guess i should go check up on him before he'll do anything stupid to that boy he's been staring at for a while now" Chanyeol excused himself Lay nodded placing a smile on his face 

"Yeah you should i actullay need to go to the restroom" Lay said as they both got up and seperated 

Lay walked away heading to the restroom as soon as he made his way there he rushed over to the sink to wash his face hoping it'll wash away his pain maybe not all of it but at least some but as always it never goes away it was stuck there as if it was a scar on his flesh a scar of a mistake he never made more likely a scar caused of betrayal of people he never thought would do such a horrible mistake 'why is this world such a cruel world?' Was running through his mind followed by tons and tons of other thoughts and questions he stared at his reflection in the mirror as flashbacks of the horrible inccident came rushing back at him

 

~ a few days ago ~

"Yixing honey we've got something to tell you!" His mother announced as soon as her son stepped into the house he looked ate her rising an eyebrow

"What's going on?" He asked only to recive a smile from his father as an answer

"Sit first" his father said and Lay being the good boy he is did as told looking at his parents who sat across of him grinning weirdly  

"Yixing honey" his mother said a wide smile placed on her face lay nodded smiling back 

"Yes mom?"

"You're getting married" his father broke the news to him not knowing he broke the heart of his own child along Lay's jaw dropped looking at his parents in disbelief

"What?" He managed to say still in shock of what has happened

"Honey it's for your own good he's nice I'm sure he'll treat you well and his family is kind they'll treat you like you're their own son" his mother explained but that didn't help him not even a bit it only got him more confused

"Him? What? How come?" He looking at them confusion written all over his face but it then hit him causing his heart not only to break but shatter in to small pieces than what it already was his eyes started to water as he looked at his parents in disbelief he looked down at his hands that were placed on his thighs balled into fists holding back his mixed emotions he looked back at his parents betrayal drawn in his eyes but it didn't last long as his expression hardens and he starts boiling in anger but he still managed to keep it in 

"How much?!" He asked trying as hard as he could to keep calm and not to crack anytime sooner his parents looked at eachother confused 

"What do you mean how much?" 

"Stop playing dumb and answer me! HOW MUCH DID THEY PAY?" He yelled slamming his hands on the table as he shot out of the chair he was seated on his eyes never leaving the two people that were seated across of him scared he inhaled a deep breath filling in his lungs and exhaled it trying to calm himself down 

"Honey i-i..." his mother tried to explain but he cut her off

"No it's okay tell me how much it wouldn't change anything anyway you already sold me you already sold your own son your own blood and flech to someone you don't even know to a stranger now tell me how much did they pay?" He asked this time his voice failed him cracking every now and then his mother looked down her eyes already filled with tears that are threating to fall 

"A lot" she mumbled she looked up at him "hoeny they threatened to ruin your future if we didn't agree we had to say yes I'm sorry" she added trying to sound as much sincere as she could Lay shook his head wiping his tears 

"It's okay it's okay I'm nothing so it doesn't matter anyway" he spat out 

"No Yixing you're everything you've our everything" 

Lay looked at them a bitter smile placed on his face shaking his head

"If i am really what you're claiming i am then how come you sold me?".
