Chapter 17
Friends, Love, Betrayal"Chanyeol-ah, where are you taking me? We've been walking for like, 10 minutes."
Today, Chanyeol planned a date with him. He insisted as a 'congrats, you're out from the hospital' present. I don't know where he was taking me at all. He blindfolded me from the start.
"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you. Relax. We'll be there in a few minutes." He said, happiness in his voice.
After what it seems like hours, Chanyeol told me to stop. I assume that we've arrived.
He let go of my hand causing me to try and find him. "Can I take this blindfold off?" I asked with a pout.
"Not yet. Count to 10 first." He ordered.
I sighed. "Fine." I counted slowly. It was odd that he told me to count. "8...9...10. Done. Can I take this off?"
"Shh..." Someone hushed in my ear softly.
It sent shivers down my spine. "Chanyeol, I don't want to play anymore. I'm taking this off." I said and reached to take it off.
Suddenly, a warm hand stopped me. It got my heart racing for some reason. "Shh..." He hushed me again.
His hand interlocked mine. 'This...feels familiar somehow. Is Chanyeol's hand always this warm?' I thought as I was being led to somewhere.
I don't know why but I feel safe for some reason. I gripped his hand tighter.
He let go of my hand and sat me on a chair. "Count to 10, then take your blindfold off."
Again? Seriously, Chanyeol, when I take this freakin' blindfold off, Imma kill you.
But I still counted anyway. "8...9...10... Done. I'm taking this off." I said and took it off.
I squinted my eyes when I could finally see the sunlight shinning the green grass and trees. Wait... Grass? Trees?
I looked around and surely, I'm in a forest. No wonder the air was fresher. But also, Chanyeol wasn't around.
"Chanyeol-ah. Where are you?" I called out but no one replied. I stood up and walked around. "Chanyeol-ah." I called out again.
I felt scared a bit but then, I saw an arrow. It pointed at a direction and I followed until I found another arrow pointing at another direction. I walked to where the arrows pointed and from afar, I saw something hanging and walked faster.
It was a paper and it had something written on it.
'Walk ahead...'
I did so and there was another paper on a tree. 'You are getting closer...'
My curiosity level keeps increasing. My heart was pacing. I kept walking through the forest. 'Did Chanyeol set this things up?' I thought.
Another paper was lying on the ground and I picked it up. 'Go up this hill and you'll arrive.'
I looked at the gentle sloped hill and looked back, seeing if anyone was spying on me but still, there was no one so I went up the hill. It was easy.
I was shocked when I reached the destination. Colored papers where tied on the trees with red strings. There were lots of it.
I went to take one picture from a tree. 'Remember when we first met?'
"First met?" I chuckled. "What is he talking about?"
I didn't understand what it meant so I flipped the paper.
My eyes widened to see the picture stuck behind it. It was a selca of me and Baekhyun. When we met a gift shop.
"Seolma..." I looked around and took another paper.
'I always thought you looked cute no matter what.' Behind, there was a picture of me wearing a rainbow afro wig, squinting my eyes and puffing my cheeks. That time was when Baekhyun and I were at a toy store.
I went to other papers to make sure.
'We were cats and dogs but we still love each other.' The picture behind it was a selca of me and Baekhyun using dog and cat ears.
'You know I love you, baby girl...' The picture attached was Baekhyun giving me a backhug while I took our picture at a higher angle.
'Do you know who was the first to support our relationship?' There was a picture of me and Taeyeon riding a rollercoaster.
Tears started blinding my eyes.
"Dahae-ah..." I turned and there... I saw him.
"Baekhyun..."
