My pain, My comfort

A/n: Warning, just a few mentions of self harm!

 

Hey stalker, I passed my exams! Gosh they were really hard, someone should put a bullet through the person who made it seriously! I barely passed as well. :D ~Baek

Ahh... You're still calling me stalker? Aish this child! xD But you passed? That's great! I heard they're making things harder too! I think you said something about starting part time too? Wow... You're truly amazing! ;) ~comfort

It's been a few years from that incident. Everything went back to normal.

Well...

Kind of... There were a few awkward changes...

Baek, just making sure, your okay now right? ~comfort

Baekhyun typed.

Yep! Totally fine, a have a few friends remember? I'm not alone anymore.~Baek

Yes, he did makes friends, with that owl boy Do Kyungsoo. But the truth was, he wasn't okay. Far from it actually. He actually started cutting when he was fourteen.

But it's okay, no one needs to know about that... There are some things that shouldn't be revealed to the world... This is one of them. Baekhyun thought as he rolled up his sleeves to look at the small scars. He them carefully admiring them. Some were deeper than others and more fresh.

The door opened and Baekhyun immediately rolled his sleeve down. His hyung came in.

"Baek?" he said. "Dinner?"

"Coming hyung, just give me a few minutes,"

"Sure." his brother left the room. Baekhyun sighed in relief clutching his chest. If his brother found out, then that would've been the end of the world for him.

He quickly checked if 'comfort' sent anything. He did.

Great, now I don't have to worry as much anymore. But wow, you do realise I've been getting white hair stressing over you! Now that will die down... Hopefully... :o Haha! Anyway, I'm really happy. :) really really happy Baek. You've found your happiness...~comfort

Baekhyun smiled before walking downstairs to join his hyung.

"Hyung, did I tell you I got a part time job at the convenient store just down the road?"

"You did?"

"Yeah, I'm gonna start my first day in two days. Now you don't have to stress over the rent or anything as much, I'll help pay," Baekhyun said picking up his chopsticks.

"Are you sure it won't effect your studies?" Baekhyun looked up at him.

"Nope. I'll study extra hard okay?" Baekhyun smiled, "Why hyung? Is there something else on your mind?"

"No it's just that, you've grown really quickly and now your working. I'm proud." but other things were running in his mind.

I don't want you to overwork yourself Baek...

"I won't overwork myself hyung it's okay," Baekhyun said taking a bite from the kimchi. "Ooh, your cooking has improved!"

Baekbeom just realised that he said his thoughts out loud. He mentally smacked himself before coming back to reality. "My cooking has improved? Really? How?"

"Well before it was like eating expired milk with tomatoes and undercooked noodles. Oh and a lot of salt. Too much, like drinking sea water." Baekhyun took another bite casually.

"Aish this child!" Baekbeom reached over the table to smack his younger brother lightly. "It wasn't that bad was it?"

"Nope." His hyung's eyes lit up.

"- it was worse than that."

He sighed retreating back to his chair. "The neighbours gave the kimchi this time..."

"I can tell."

"How?"

"Cause your cooking . It can never be this good, ever." Baekhyun laughed.

"Yaa Byun Baekhyun." his brother scolded, "How can you criticize my cooking with such a straight face?"

"Meh," Baekhyun shrugged his shoulders taking his last bite. "Hyung it's gonna get cold, eat,"

He took the empty plate to the sink washing everything up before walking back into his room.

"Yaa Baek-"

"I know! 'Don't stay in my room for so long, it's unhealthy'. I'm just getting something hyung," Baekhyun called before shutting the door and slumping onto the floor.

So tired...

He crawled to his bed and reached for the phone.

Stalker, can I say something?~Baek

Stalker again? -.- Anyway, go ahead. I'm all ears.~Comfort

Well... There's been something on my mind. About that incident four years ago... Park Chanyeol... He... Saved me and was really worried. I thought he would actually change and stop torturing me. But... He carried on. After I got better, he started doing worse things to me. Like in one science lesson, he purposely made the classroom catch fire and when everyone was out, he pushed me back in and locked the door so I would burn... I was lucky that a teacher walked passed to save me. And then he threatened me with knives and... I got a knife wound but it isn't serious so don't worry. But the thing is... I really want to know why? He became more violent towards me after the incident... It scares me stalker... What should I do?~Baek

Wow. Long paragraph. :) Baek, you said everything was fine, to me it ain't fine. What about your friend? Isn't he helping? About that Park yeol I'd kick him in the place where the sun don't shine^^ Show him your not weak ;) Be strong Baek, Strong.... HWAITING!!~comfort

Baekhyun grinned.

Thanks! One more thing that was bothering me stalker. Who... exactly are you?~Baek

Me? I'm comfort. Who else would I be? :P

No seriously. Tell me. Please. I want to thank you properly. I do have some people who I think might be comfort. My hyung... Or maybe Do Kyungsoo. Am I right?~Baek

... :P I won't tell you. Also... It's best if you don't find out.~comfort

It's best if you don't find out... Baekhyun furrowed his eyebrows. He's been trying to find out who this comfort person really is and for four years he has been trying his best to solve the mystery.

I will find out comfort. Be sure of that.~Baek

Ooh you used my actual name this time... Okay, I'll class it as a... Challenge then ;) ~comfort

Fine. I accept the challenge. Will you give me hints? Is there a time limit?~Baekhyun

Nope. No hints, you have to figure everything out yourself. There is a time limit... The time limit is... Your lifetime.~comfort

I like it. Okay let the challenge begin! :D (heh always wanted to say that^^) ~Baek

From behind the screen, comfort smirked.

This will indeed be very interesting...

 

Fine. I accept the challenge...

I accepted it but... How am I meant to find out? Comfort could be anyone! What if they aren't even on the same country or even planet? Okay Baekhyun, it's impossible to be messaging from a different planet. Get a hold of yourself... 

"Baek? Are you listening?"

"W-what?"

"Aish, seriously!" Kyungsoo threw his hands into the air frustrated. "You're always day dreaming now days."

Baekhyun rubbed his nape, "Sorry, what were you saying?"

"To try this new recipe I tried out," Kyungsoo said shoving the bento into Baekhyun's face. "Tell me if it's good!"

"Your cooking's always good anyway." Baekhyun said yet he still picked his chopsticks up. "What is it?"

"Fried squid, but I changed it a little..." he said eyes sparkling as he eyed the squid's journey into Baekhyun's mouth. "There's other stuff but try the squid..."

Crunch. Chew chew chew...

"Omo! Oishii desu!" Baekhyun yelled stuffing his face with more fried squid.

"Translation please."

"It's delicious! What did you do to it? Give me tips. I swear my brother's cooking , you should cook for us instead!"

"Seriously Baek, stop talking Japanese. Just tell him to take classes. And this recipe is a secret." Kyungsoo placed his finger to his lips and smirked.

"Ew. Cut the smirk." Baekhyun laughed. "I'm seriously gonna hire you to be our chef you know."

"Oh really, the price is high Baek, you up for it?"

" off you owl, go to sleep it's still daylight," Baekhyun smacked his friend lightly on the head. They were sitting on the roof where no one was spending their lunch hour together.

"Yaa Byuntae don't touch me," Kyungsoo laughed.

"Hey I see what you did there," Baekhyun smirked. "But I ain't y so no."

"y? So Byun Beak- no, Byuntae Baekhyun was really a eh?"

The two boys turn their head to the new familiar voice. Baekhyun's heart dropped deep to his stomach making him want to vomit the squid he ate out. Baekhyun shifted his gaze to the floor.

"Yaa Byuntae..." an arm slid down Baekhyun's body from behind.

"Why are you shying away," Baekhyun held his breath as a hot breath tickled his ear.

"Hey Chanyeol, let go of him," Kyungsoo said pulling his arm away from Baekhyun's body.

"But if he's a ert, he must like this..." Chanyeol wrapped his arm around Baekhyun's waist possessively biting his ear harshly, on it. Baekhyun unintentionally let a moan slip through his lips at the feeling and the strong musky smell coming from Chanyeol.

"See Kyungsoo, he loves it," Chanyeol wrapped his legs around Baekhyun. "This 's for me."

"Stop it Park," Kyungsoo said pulling Chanyeol's long limbs off Baekhyun who became silent... A statue.

"Baek? Baek?" Kyungsoo shook his shoulder but the former didn't move an inch. "Baek?"

"Baekkie?" Baekhyun flinched. "Oh, he responds to that,"

"Chanyeol, you're treating him like a dog. Get lost." Kyungsoo said smacking the taller male away from Baekhyun.

"But he is a dog Kyunggie,"

"He's not. Unless you're as blind as you can clearly tell he's human. And don't call me Kyunggie."

"Aish... You're lucky because I respect you Kyunggie, otherwise you'd have been dead," Chanyeol muttered getting up and pulling Baekhyun up roughly with him.

Baekhyun yelped as he stumbled up falling onto Chanyeol who caught him with ease.

"Kyunggie, I'll take this one okay? I have unfinished business with him,"

"No, he's with me right now," Kyungsoo said pulling Baekhyun to him. "Have him when he's free, not now."

"But he is free right now."

"If you don't want me to strangle you like last time, get lost." Kyungsoo said. "Your bull ."

"K-Kyungsoo..." Baekhyun finally mumbled.

"Aish, your words hurt me Kyunggie, can't you be a little nicer?" Chanyeol said clutching his chest over dramatically.

"Chanyeo-"

"Okay, fine fine, I'll leave!" Chanyeol said. "But first, can I do something?"

"What?"

Chanyeol grinned reaching for Baekhyun.

I'd kick him the place where the sun don't shine^^ Show him you're not weak :)

But how can I stalker? I'm weak and hopeless and scared...

Baekhyun squeezed his eyes shut tightly as Chanyeol's arm came closer.

He opened them a few seconds later to find a groaning Chanyeol on the floor. He turned to Kyungsoo to see that the owled boy was staring back at him eyes wide and mouth opened shocked.

"Omo... Baek..." Kyungsoo said. His mouth slowly curved into a smile. "Didn't know you had that in you,"

"W-what?"

"Come on you can't have forgotten that. Omo I should've recorded that, the 'great' Chanyeol getting kicked in the balls by Byun Baekhyun," Kyungsoo said patting Baekhyun's head. "You did a good deed my friend. Now let's run away before things get bad,"

Kyungsoo pulled Baekhyun away from the scene hurriedly. Baekhyun turned back to see if Chanyeol was chasing after them. Thankfully he wasn't. But what made him curious was Chanyeol's face.

He was...

Smiling...

 

He was smiling...

Or was it my imagination? That could be possible right? Yeah... I guess it was just my imagination...

Baekhyun sighed pursing his lips as he thought...

Hey stalker, I did what you told me to. I kicked that Park in the place where the sun don't shine... But he smiled... I think he's mentally disturbed... Or maybe he's a masochist? Or maybe he's both. I dunno anymore! He's freaking me out. Like... I've noticed... He's being a lot more... Touchy.I guess it's just the hormones... What do you think stalker? ~Baek

... Yep. It's just the hormones. Totally, absolutely... Just the hormones. And he is mentally disturbed, especially if he was smiling after you kicked him... Eew... That's just ew. DON'T LET HIM TOUCH YOU BAEK. Who knows what he's gonna do. ~comfort

Baekhyun stared at the reply. Funny how 'comfort' emphasised on the hormones... But he decided to discard it.

But I can't stalker... When he's near me... I just freeze. I get scared. And when he touches me I'm a full-on statue. Urgh. This is so annoying!! ~Baek

Anyway, did you find out who I am yet? ~comfort

No. I'm silently interrogating... People right now. ~Baek

Oh really? Who? ~comfort

Won't tell you~ but hey, can I phone you? Like... Messaging is boring. I want to hear to voice of the one who saved me... ~Baek

.... No. Baek, you know I can't. Anyway, how's life now? Is everyone alright? Are you okay?  ~comfort

... Stalker... Stop changing the subject. Why don't you do calls? ~Baek

Baek, it's a challenge remember? You have to find out. No hints remember^^ So calls are a no no. ~comfort

Aish. You really are a stalker... How old are you anyway? OMG wht didn't I think about that!! Are you a e? OMG don't talk to me no more... ~Baek

Ahaha, I ain't a e Baek, FAR FROM IT. Seriously. ~comfort

YAAAAAAAA!!!! YOU REALLY AREEE!!!!!!! GET AWAY FROM MEEEEEEE!!!!! ~Baek

"Baek! Seriously. Stop staying in your room all the time. And you're always on that phone! Gosh. You need a life." Baekhyun lifted his head to greet his hyung.

"Exactly why I'm gonna start part time tomorrow." he replied casually.

"... Gosh. Anyway, dinner's read-"

"I'll pass!" 

"I didn't even finish speak-"

"I'll pass!"

"Yaa Byun Baek-"

"I'll pass!"

"Why?" Baekbeom whined.

"Simple. A baby could answer that question." Baekhyun said getting off his bed. "Your cooking ."

"Ow." his hyung fell to the floor clutching his heart dramatically. "A stab in the heart,"

"You at drama as well. Ew your face looks so ugly don't do that!" Baekhyun laughed while walking over his brother's body.

"I'm ordering pizza instead. Oh and next time, I'll just hire Kyungsoo to cook for us okay? From now on, never step into the kitchen. We'll all die if you do." Baekhyun smirked before exiting the room leaving his phone on the bed.

"... Well that . Time to check his phone..." Baekbeom flipped through the contents.

"Oh what the hell? I thought it'd be full of +18 things... He's too pure... Bless him." he looked through the message history.

"... E!?" he practically screamed.

"Something worng hyu-" Baekhyun popped his head in the doorway. "Hyung? What are you doing with that?"

"Baek! Who is this comfort person and what on earth are you doing talking to a stranger? HE'S A E IT'S WRITTEN ALL OVER HIS FA- I MEAN TEXTS!" 

"Hyung, calm youself. I ordered your favourite, all you need to do, is give me the cash to pay and then all is fine," Baekhyun said.

"B-b-But... He's a e!" Baekbeom hissed his arms flying around trying to 'explain'.

"Yep. Time to call the psychiatric. I always knew there was something wrong with your head." Baekhyun said whizzing away. He felt a sudden tension click in his head. He ran to the bathroom and sighed locking the door.

... He fell to the floor taking in deep breaths. It's happening again...

He reached for the drawer opening the first one and taking out the small blade.

His body jolted from time to time. He thought evwrything was alright now, that the calm after a storm came. But what he didn't know was that the trauma was still there... It never left, and never will...

A small one... Just a small cut... Just one... Then I'll put it away...

But of course that didn't happen. Only when there was a knock on the door did Baekhyun realise what he did.

"Baek? The pizza's here. Is something wrong? You've been in there for quite a while now..."

Baekhyun came back to reality when he head his hyung's voice. He stared down at his blood covered arm. His eyes widened.

When did I...

"Baek?"

"Uh... I'm... I'm fine! Umm your cooking! I had some and now I kinda... Umm... Y-you know what I mean! See this is why your cooking !" Baekhyun yelled back.

"Oh my... I'll get you some medicine." Baekhyin heard the rushing of feet. He sighed before quickly cleaning everything up.

... The bleeding won't stop! Stupid idiot why did you cut in so deep! Baekhyun kept scolding himself until his hying came back.

"Baek, open the door!"

"Yeah j-just a minute." he double checked that everything was clean and looked normal before opening the door and clutching his stomach to fake the pain. He took the tablets  and water without a single word and shut the doorb on his hyung's face.

He slyly took two tablets out of the packet and flushed them down the toilet along with some if the water. He opened he door to face his hyung again.

"Much better." he fake smiled and walked out into the kitchen. "Let's eat."

His hyung watched him as they silently ate. Something wasn't right and he knew. The way Baekhyun would wince when he picked up a slice, how he would pat his arm very very gently every so often. Baekbeom didn't say anything until they actually finished. He walked up to the younger and pulled his arm making Baekhyun scream out in pain. Baekbeom raised his brow as the younger broke down to tears.

"It hurts..." Baekhyun whimpered hopelessly. And then hus eyes widened when the older sibling roughly lifted his sleeve up to reveal the scarlet tainted bandages.

"Oh my gosh..." he breathed. "Baekhyun!"

The younger stared at the floor unable to make eye contact.

"What is this?" the older raised his voice.

"I injured myself at school..." Baekhyun mumbled.

"Don't lie to me. They would've sent you straight to get it cleaned plus you were fine until just a few minutes ago!" his voice kept getting louder, Baekhyun was getting frightened.

"I'm sorry!" he yelled. "I'm sorry... So stop yelling..."

His hyung sighed. "Baek," he said softly. "Why?"

"I couldn't help it... It just... happened..." Baekhyun sobbed. "Let go hyung it hurts..."

Baekbeom slowly let go of his arm. "Baek you stupid child. Why didn't you tell me before? Gosh I feel so useless now."

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry hyung..."

"... Okay, just promise me that you won't do it again,"

"Hyung... I can't!" 

"Baek!" his hyung yelled making him flinch. "Please..."

Baekhyun didn't utter a single word...
