Classmates | Chanyeol x Nayeon

Home

"Huh? I'm not doing anything." He said acting innocently and trying to suppress a smile.

I let out a sigh and smile, it does feel nice.

The next day

I am really looking forward to see Chanyeol but to my disappointment he is absent.

I was going to approach his friends but I accidentally overheard their conversations.

"Should we check on Chanyeol now?" Sehun asked, his voice filled with great concern.

"Chanyeol wouldn't like us to skip class just for him but even if we go there, we can't do anything about it because it is his choice..." Kyungsoo said trailing off.

"I hope he is alright." Xiumin said.

"He will be, he'd been through worse." Chen said trying to reassure the others.

"Let's just check on him right after class, don't forget to bring the things he'll need." Suho said patting their backs.

I cleared my throat and they were all startled by my presence.

"Nayeon, have you been standing there the whole time?" Lay asked.

"Nope." I said

"Is there anything we could do for you?" Baekhyun asked

"Uhmm I was wondering if you know why Chanyeol is absent."

They just look at each other and shrug, "He's just... not feeling well." Kai finally said.

"I see, thanks guys." I said giving them a smile.

What did happen to Chanyeol that would make his friends super worried but can't do anything?

I should probably check on Chanyeol right after the class or maybe I'll just skip the 20 minutes cleaning session later and go straight to Chanyeol's house.

What if his father is beating him again? Should I call the cops or what. Wait calm down Nayeon, it's their family matter, I shouldn't be carelessly butting in.

All throughout the day I've been spacing out, and I'm glad my friends didn't push to pry. I've been looking forward for this class to end and finally cleaning session came, I asked Tzuyu to cover me up, she was somehow confused but obeyed me. I sneaked out.

Chanyeol's house is not that far from the school. Even my legs are already burning, I didn't stop running until I reach the house. The gate isn't open so I have no choice but to cross over the walls. I jumped high until I reach the top of the wall and grabbed it. I pulled myself upward and then fell to the other side of the ground.

Phew

Wait I hear screaming, I quietly went to take a peak on the window and was frozen by the scenario.

Chanyeol is being beaten mercilessly by his father. It made me wince, also made my stomach drop.

"It's all your fault, she died. It's all your fault! All I wanted was for the both of us to be happy, you're not even my real child. You're the one that should've died, not her!" He screamed at Chanyeol while kicking him by stomach. Chanyeol isn't fighting back.

When Chanyeol began coughing blood, his father stopped and walked away.

I took the opportunity to enter quickly but quietly.

"Chanyeol." I whisper

His eyes fluttered open, and was surprised and confused to see me, but terror washes over his face upon realizing the situation.

"What are you doing here? Get out!" He hissed then coughs again.

"I can't just leave you!"

"Get out. Now. He's coming back again."

"No."

I help him stand up, and went straight for the door knob but before I could twist it, his father came back with a baseball bat.

'"W-who are you? What are you doing? Give my son back!" He said angrily.

"You have no rights to call him son, you bastard!" I shouted at him.

"Nayeon..." Chanyeol pleads lifelessly. "Get out of here, I'm begging you."

"Move!" His father said to me, aiming his bat to hit Chanyeol.

"Nayeon, get out of here..."

"No I'll stay here with you."

"You're not gonna move huh?" His father said hitting the bat against my back. I gritted  my teeth and hugged Chanyeol tight.

I wince, my back stings.

It freaking hurts, I slowly turned around and kicked his father hard by the stomach. He lost his balance and fell to the ground, I grabbed the bat immediately and threw it to the window.

I turn to his father, "He doesn't deserve to have a father like you."

"You don't know a thing!" He said trying to stand up.

"Yeah I don't but it doesn't affect the fact that what you're doing to him is child abuse."

"Y-you punk, how dare you butt in to our family problem. So what you gonna call the cops? Before you can even do that, I'll break your legs." He said coming to my direction.

But to my surprise, before his father can even lay a finger on me, Chanyeol stands in front of me.

"You will not hurt her." Chanyeol said clenching his fist hard. "You will not hurt her just like what you did to my mother."
