Baekhyun's P.O.V

'Why does it always have to end like this...? I end up being pushed away from him, into a damn safety room with only worried civilians. The guards have to go to fight the Endorians as well and we're just going to sit in here, defenseless and scared. Why do we have to be scared? Why must war exist? What kind of purpose has it? To create misery? What's war good for?

I keep wondering why I let myself get carried away. I keep wondering why I let him slink away when I have the chance to finally talk to him. And when I finally had him beside me in that peaceful situation, everything was ruined by danger. By the Endorians.

It's not peaceful here, it's crowded and worrying. Everyone is scared. Is it like this all over the planet or is it just here at this very spot that it is like this? What about Chanyeol's sister? Is she alright? Is his family alright? What about... my family?

My precious dog... My mother.... My father... Are they worried? Do they know where I am? Of course not; how are they supposed to know where I am? What about my dog? Is he... alright? Is he eating? He's not starving, right? Mom and dad takes well care of him for me, right? They're doing fine without me, right?

I have so many questions, yet I'm just sitting here in this stupid room. I'm sitting here on the floor, like mostly of the people and are listening to the sound of the clinging metal and the shouts from soldiers and guards. I keep asking myself; what is war truly good for?'

“Listen, I think they're through!”
“What really?!”
“We're doomed!”
“Hey, calm down everyone! We got this! They're not many, the scanners said that! We're going to be fine!”
“But we're not that many either! Reinforcement is on its way they say! But it's not even here! How long have we waited for that reinforcement now?! Three weeks?! A month?! Six months?!”
“Calm down! It won't be any better if we all freak out! Stay calm and focus everyone!”

War times; everyone is worried. Baekhyun can understand them, he's actually as terrified and worried as they are. But he's not worried about himself, he's worried about the soldiers. He's worried about his friends and he's mostly worried about... Chanyeol.

“D-Do you hear that?! Isn't that gunshots?!”
“Shut up! Everyone!”

One of the hurt soldiers who can't fight finally stood up with a little support from another civilian. Everyone shut up as they stared at him and Baekhyun took the chance to listen to the silence.

“Those walls are soundproofed, but if we scream and shout too much, they will find us much easier. You have to stay silent and hope. If you don't, things might get worse. So please, be quiet now.”

The soldier sat down again as everyone mumbled something to each other before one by one went silent. Then they just sat there in the silence and listened to nothing. Baekhyun curled together into a ball on the floor as he closed his eyes and rested his head on his knees. He listened to the silence as he tried to imagine how the fight out there must be like.

“Do you... think we truly can make it?”

A worried voice yet quiet voice echoed through the room as someone replied a weak quiet yes. The tension inside of the room was strong, Baekhyun can literally feel it. After a while, people begun to talk to each other, but really quiet. They whispered to each other and tried to keep their voices down as some people closed their eyes and lied down on the floor, like they could just disappear from the reality.

Baekhyun sighed as he kept his eyes closed and tried to think of something else, but he couldn't. He tried to think about the beautiful flowers in the gardening room, but his mind only thought about Chanyeol and the sudden attack. He can't think about his family either, because then he get this lump inside his stomach that hurts and makes him feel sick.

All Baekhyun can actually do is to worry. He can just sit here and listen to the sounds of people whispering to each other. You can't hear anything else from outside the room. All you can hear from that is silence, which is freaking him out even more. Has something happened? Whose winning? And is... Is he alright? Is Chanyeol... alright?

***

Seconds, minutes, hours went before people truly begun to worry about what was going on. After around four hours, the doors to the safety room begun to get opened as everyone hurried to stand up. No one knows if it is the Endorians or their own people. If it is the Endorians, they're doomed and everyone in this room will probably get killed or taken as slaves. If it is the Exotics, they're saved.

The heavy door took one or two minutes to get opened before everyone could actually see who it was. Everyone stared at the door opening as they almost held their breathes. Everyone is scared, Baekhyun can tell and he feels the same.

“You can all come out now, it's safe and sound out here.”

Everyone breathed out relieved as some others shouted happily and hugged each other. Baekhyun was fast to sneak through everyone and towards the door. He managed to get out pretty fast before everyone else as he looked around.

The whole place looked pretty clean, but the signs of a fight was still there. There are holes in the walls and the floor and there are still some broken furniture and other stuff laying spread out in the room. Else all the blood and dust are cleaned away.

“W-Where is he...?”

Baekhyun begun to ran around, looking desperately after his friends and Chanyeol. Baekhyun first thought about Suho's office, but no one was there. He then tried their rooms. He begun with Sehun's and Luhan's room, but no one was there. He kept searching his friends rooms and offices until he begun to get really worried. Where are they?!

“E-Excuse me! W-Where is doctor Lay?!”
“Are you hurt? I can take a look at-”
“N-No, I'm fine. I-I really need to talk to him-”
“He's being busy treating wounded in the new infirmary. I can't-”
“T-Then what about Luhan? Or Sehun? Or Chen? Or anyone of them.”
“They're being treated at the infirmary-”
“Where is the infirmary?!”

Baekhyun stared worried at the guard who hesitated before he pointed towards a corridor that seemed to lead towards the other side of the building. Baekhyun hasn't been over there that much, but he guess he still will be able to find the infirmary.

“Thank you!”

Baekhyun begun to ran passed the civilians who looked around at the building that still was whole enough to keep them safe. Baekhyun had to run sick-sack between some civilians to get over to the corridor the guard had pointed out for him. Baekhyun then begun to walk when he reached the corridor and looked after the infirmary room.

After a while, he begun to wonder if he had gotten the wrong direction. But he hadn't, he was on the right track. Baekhyun walked until he reached the dead end that wasn't a wall, without a huge room.

Baekhyun stood in the door opening and stared at the sight he never thought he would have to see. Soldiers lying everywhere, some crying of pain others passed out. There was a lot of blood everywhere and the few whole and not hurt soldiers are running around to help the healers to take care of the hurt ones.

“Chanyeol...? Where is he...? L-Lay...?”

Baekhyun stared into the room, but he doesn't dare to walk in. What if he gets in the way? What if he accidentally stops someone to get treated for their wounds? Baekhyun stood in the door opening like a fool as he stared at the hurt people. This is what wars do to people. They're never good.

***

Baekhyun sat on the floor, some meters away from the infirmary as he watched some few hurt civilians pass him by to get treated like the soldiers. Baekhyun is waiting for the infirmary to calm down, to make sure that everyone who needs to get treated gets treated first before he might get in the way.

Baekhyun sat there on the floor, worried and a little scared for over an hour. After an hour, a guard walked over to him and crouched down to his level to check him. The guard smiled kind and he looked to be worried as well, but he still seemed so calm.

“Hey little guy. How are you feeling? Are you hurt?”
“I... I want to go in and search for my friends... But I don't want to be in the way...”

Baekhyun tried to keep himself calm, but the worries has taken over him and he can't help but to cry. He's worried like hell and yet he's just sitting here. The guard smiled kind as he grabbed Baekhyun's hand and carefully pulled him up of the floor.

“It has calmed down now, so you can go inside and look for them.”
“B-But what if I get in the way?”
“You won't, there are other people in there now, so you can go too.”

The guard smiled kind as Baekhyun nodded a little and wiped away some of his tears. He then thanked the guard before he walked towards he infirmary. Baekhyun carefully stepped into the big room as he watched the soldiers he saw. They looked really hurt earlier but now they look pretty okay, which is a relief.

Everyone seem to have gotten treated to their wounds, which means that Lay should be in here somewhere and he should be free by now. Baekhyun looked around carefully as he searched desperately after Chanyeol or Lay or the others. Baekhyun walked until he spotted someone tall and familiar which made his heart feel a little lighter.

“Kris! Kris where is Chanyeol?!”

Baekhyun ran towards Kris who turned shocked around to see Baekhyun. Beside him stood Tao who looked really worried to be honest. Before Baekhyun even could reach Kris and Tao, he felt how someone grabbed his hand and stopped him from running. Baekhyun looked behind him to see Kai stare at him with hurt eyes. Why is he looking like that at him?

“K-Kai, w-where is Chanyeol?”

Kai didn't say anything as he tried to walk with Baekhyun out of the infirmary. Baekhyun felt the worries take over him as he tried to snatch his hand out of Kai's grip.

“Y-Yah, K-Kai, l-let me go. Kai let go of me. Kai. Kai stop it!”

Baekhyun struggled to get out of his grip as Kai looked really hurt himself. Baekhyun struggled to get out of Kai's grip as Kai just kept drag him with him out of ht infirmary.

“Kai! Stop it! Let me go! Kai! Where is Chanyeol?! Where is he?!”

Baekhyun felt the panic grab him as he finally managed to get free of Kai's grip. Kai turned around to grab Baekhyun's hand again, but Baekhyun was fast to back away from him.

“What are you doing? W-Where is Chanyeol? Where is he?”

Baekhyun felt how his eyes begun to tear up as Kai struggled to not look even more hurt than what he already he looked like.

“Baekhyun... Please come with me instead. Let's see if we can help someone or-”
“Where is he?!”

Baekhyun shouted worried as he almost begun to cry. Chanyeol promised him to take him home, he said it himself. He promised he would be alright!

“Where is he Kai?! Where is Chanyeol?!”
“Baekhyun, please stop scream.”
“B-But where is he?”

Baekhyun felt a hand land on his shoulder as he looked behind him to see Kris stare serious down at him. Baekhyun felt how he begun to cry as Kai looked pained as well.

“Baekhyun... I think it's better if you just stay away for now.”
“Where is he...? Where is Chanyeol? Where is he?”

Kris just looked at Kai who grabbed Baekhyun's hand and tried to drag him with him again. Baekhyun struggled against Kai right away as he managed to get out of Kai's grip. Baekhyun tried to run pass Kris to get into te infirmary, but Kris grabbed him before he even could get a meter away from them.

“Let me go! Chanyeol! I want to see Chanyeol! Let me go! Chanyeol!”

Baekhyun cried and struggled to get out of Kris grip, but Kris had a much tighter grip than Kai. Kai looked concerned at Baekhyun who kept try to get out of Kris grip, but he begun to lose his power.

“Let me go! Let me go Kris! LET ME GO DAMMIT!”

Baekhyun cried as he lost all his power. He can't believe it. He can't believe what is going on. Chanyeol promised. He promised to take him home. He promised he would be okay.

“Baekhyun... Please don't... Just do as we say for now-”
“Let me go... Let me go Kris... Chanyeol...”

Baekhyun felt how his legs lost their power as he couldn't stand. He feels dizzy and he can't think clear. His sight is blurry from the tears and he can barely breathe.

“Baekhyun? Baekhyun you have to calm down.”
“Chanyeol... He...”

Baekhyun felt how his head begun to spin and he can't breathe anymore. Kai hurried over as Kris tried to calm Baekhyun down, but it doesn't work like that. Baekhyun can't breathe, his head feels heavy and everything feels numb.

“Baekhyun, calm down. Hey, Baekhyun- Baekhyun! Hey! , get Lay!”
“What is going on?!”
“I don't know, but we can't risk anything! Get Lay, quickly!”

Baekhyun can't breathe, he doesn't want to breathe. He doesn't want to be without Chanyeol. That giant, he promised that he would be okay. He promised that he would take him home. Baekhyun doesn't want Chanyeol to break his promise.

“Baekhyun, you have to get back to your sense! Calm down or else you might get hurt!”

Baekhyun felt how his heart pounded hard and how the dizziness took over him. Baekhyun can't hold his eyes open anymore. Baekhyun saw how everything went black in front of his eyes as he only could hear a faded sound of Kris worried voice. But it begun to disappear slowly as well as Baekhyun got trapped in the darkness all alone.
