I had to bring him back in his bed so he could be comfortable. He still didn't open his eyes. I was worried, I had no idea what was going on. Luhan told me he once had to live the exact same situation with Sehun and when the maknae had woken up, he wasn't the same. What did this mean? I didn't know. Will Baekhyun still be the same? I wondered. As I passed my hand on his soft yet sweaty face, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at me. He quickly grabbed my hand and threw it away. My eyes widened, without me understanding why he reacted that way.

 

''Don't touch me. I'm fine.'' he deadpanned before getting up and leaving the room.

 

I stayed in the bed, staring at the door. Maybe he was going to come back and act as if all of this was a joke. But I kept waiting and never did I see him enter the room again. I sighed, not really knowing what was going on. I got up and left the room as well. I passed by Luhan's and decided to knock.

 

''M'yeah?'' he answered.

 

''C- Can I come in? I have something to ask you.''

 

The door opened on a curious red headed boy and he stepped aside, letting me enter. I sat on the small couch next to his bed and sighed.

 

''When you said Sehun changed when all of this happened, was it in a good, or bad way?'' I suddenly asked, looking up to him.

 

''Did something happen with the kid?''

 

''Just answer.'' I briefly said.

 

''Sehun was no longer laughing along with me after the incident happened. He didn't even dare look at me. If I tried touching him, he would slap me or yell at me.'' he started before looking down and sitting on his bed. ''It was as if he had forgotten about everything I had done to help him.''

 

I listened to every word the oldest said to me and without knowing it, I began to blink a lot, trying to stop water from accumulating in my eyes. Does this means Baekhyun will also forget about what I did to help him? Will he forget about the way I tried to ease his pain when he had nightmares? I quietly thought to myself. I felt a hand on my shoulder and as I lifted my hand, I saw Luhan's sad eyes looking at me.

 

''Everything will get better in time, don't worry Chanyeol-ah.''

 

I thanked him and walked out of his room to go downstairs. I got into the kitchen and as soon as my eyes met Baekhyun's, he sighed and turned around. I lightly bit my lower lip and looked at the floor. Even if he was acting distant now, I still felt like hugging him and telling him that, I was that person who was happy because he didn't jump that day. But instead of annoying him even more, I left the kitchen to go sit on the couch, next to Sehun, in the living room.

 

''Why were you distant with Luhan when it happened? Why is Baekhyun like this as well? Is there a reason?'' I asked, as soon as I sat by his side.

 

''Yes there is. His inner wolf is slowly coming out. He has to be able to deal with the anger inside of him. Once he does, it means he's ready to show his true identity without having difficulties. The only thing I can't be sure of is how much time he'll stay that way. For me, it lasted about two weeks.'' he explained.

 

I nodded, while playing nervously with my fingers. I was hoping that Baekhyun would last less than a week this way. I already missed having him by my side at night. Even if it only was while he was shaking and crying, feeling him close to me was perfect.

 

Days passed, and I still didn't get the chance to see him smile. Slowly, the days turned into weeks and he was still not the same as before. It felt like if he was so far away, when he was yet so close.
