Back To Me (Byun Baekhyun)
47
Later that night, Baekhyun had not asked Hana. Actually it was the intention but now there is still Chanyeol and Jaemin is playing to their house. Carrying a lot of food to comfort Hana, Baekhyun's idea was indeed, he was also the one who told the others to come here. It's okay, it can be asked later, seeing Hana can already smile makes her heart very relieved.
"She was not invited?" Ask Hana to Baekhyun.
"She followed" replied Baekhyun.
Hana nodded in understanding.
"You have no other friends besides us?" Chanyeol asked, Hana squinted her eyes feeling ridiculed.
"Last I've been friends with someone else, I'm a bitch!" Answer Hana. Baekhyun looked at Hana, the woman spoke casually and without burden, as if it was no big deal, but he knew most that Hana was still very hurt.
Hana's words instantly made the one there silent. Not daring to reply for fear of offending Hana.
"Uncle Chan, Uncle Jaemin, look at my picture, good no?" Luckily Hyuna who emerged from the room carrying her picture book came in time to divert this awkward atmosphere.
"What a good Hyuna!" Praise Jaemin.
Chanyeol also nodded with a smile, his hands outstretched to wipe his nephew's hair, "You dropped your mother once huh, good at drawing," Chanyeol said.
Ja. Not many know that Hana is good at drawing, because her hobbies and likes are always covered by the demands of the father since long ago.
"Mom's good at drawing?" Ask Hyuna.
"No, you're smarter!" Reply Hana.
"You're going to be a lot smarter because you have a supportive father who will support and facilitate your hobby, so your talent is getting honed and nothing hinders" Hana added. Hyuna just nodded despite not really understanding what her mother meant.
"So keep doing whatever you like, baby?" Once again Hyuna nodded at Hana's words, this time more confident.
"Then I want to continue drawing in the room" Hyuna replied.
"But don't get tired, if you're sleepy, sleep?" Now Baekhyun is speaking.
"Ready dad!" Hyuna went back to her room.
Shortly after that the bell rang.
"It looks like Sehun, let me open it first," said Baekhyun immediately stood up and went to the front door to ascertain who came.
While Hana focused on chatting with her cousin and sister-in-law.
"How's kandunganmu? Healthy right?" Tanya Chanyeol, who was immediately taken in by Hana.
"Well I can't believe hyung already wants 2 kids," Jaemin snatched.
"Take good care of my niece Hana."
"My nephew is also hyung."
"Yes, we're both nephews."
Hana chuckles to see Jaemin not want to lose.
"Hana..," Hana's naughtiness stopped when a voice called her name, she turned and found Sehun beside her standing Baekhyun and 1 woman whom she knew very well. Hyo Ri's.
For a moment Hana was stunned to see Hyo Ri's whereabouts. Hana's college friend had several times tried to contact Hana but Hana deliberately avoided. Not hate. Hyo Ri had nothing to do with the incident. Hana was just afraid of mistrusting people again.
"Hey Ri?"
"Yes!!! Park Hannah!!!" Hyo Ri immediately approached Hana, sat down next to the pregnant woman and hugged her, Hyo Ri even embraced Baekhyun as the husband of Hana and the owner of this house.
"Please don't hug her too tightly, Hana is pregnant," said Baekhyun who immediately made Hyo Ri take off her embrace.
"Ah? Don't we? Congratulations on that!"
Hana was still silent at the time when Hyo Ri was already excited herself.
"Hana, where have you been? Missed you! I'm looking for you!" Hyo Ri said again while clasping Hana's hand tightly.
"Sorry Hana, I brought Hyo Ri here because she kept bothering me on campus and always asked for you."
"Maybe if you want to talk to both of us we can all go first" Baekhyun said.
Hana looked uneasy, she herself did not know if Hyo Ri had found out about her and Sin Ho or not. No matter what the obvious cause, Hana felt a little scared when dealing with Hyo Ri, that sense of trauma, that, a shattered sense of trust melts into their friendship as Sin Ho may be the biggest contributor to Hana's fear right now.
Hyo Ri caught the unease of Hana who from earlier had not answered at all.
"Hana, we're talking? Don'tbeafraid. Let your husband be here too" Hyo Ri said.
"Baekhyun-ssi, I want to talk to Hana, but you can go with her, however you are the person Hana trusts the most for now."
Baekhyun nodded, giving Sehun, Chanyeol and Jaemin a code to go to the balcony for a while.
"Hana...," Hyo Ri opened her conversation.
"You know what?" Ask Hana directly at her point.
Hyo Ri nodded weakly. "Is the news all over the campus?" Ask Hana again.
Hyo Ri shook her head, "About you don't. But about Sin Ho. Yes."
"His name on campus is very bad, everyone knows that he is a sexual offender, but you take it easy, no one knows who the victim is. There was a rumor that you were the victim because you also suddenly disappeared, but Sehun Sunbae immediately solved it."
"Hana, on your name I've been cursing that lecherous man since the first day he was in prison."
"I slapped him, I hit him, for you Hana."
Hana looked at Hyo Ri, should she trust Hyo Ri?
"Hana... I understand your concern, you must have a hard time trusting other people right? You don't have to trust me, Hana, it's up to you. I'm not that kind of person to believe in, either, but all I can assure you is that I care about you. It's not just about pity. I really care about you, Hana."
Hannah started to shed her tears.
"Ei, don't cry, I can finish your husband off for making you cry" Hyo Ri joked as she glanced at the little cackling Baekhyun.
"Thank you Hyo Ri" Hana said at the end with a faint smile.
"No needs, bestie."
"I'm sorry I've been avoiding you for half a year now I've been avoiding everything, including my own husband."
"Everything is heavy for me Hyo Ri."
"Gwenchana, you're going through it really great" Hyo Ri replied.
"Everything that happens to you doesn't change you. You're still the kind and beautiful Park Hana whose husband is Byun Baekhyun."
"You hear that Hana?" Baekhyun suddenly snatched.
"It's not just me saying that, is it? So now do you believe that no matter what, you're still Park Hana, my beautiful and kind wife" she said."
Hearing Baekhyun's words, Hana became embarrassed herself making Hyo Ri laugh too.
"Stay my friend, Hana?" Hyo Ri asked when her laughter was over and went back to serious mode.
"Thank you."
"For what else?"
"To be my friend. So I'm not ridiculed anymore if my friend is just Sehun and just hangs out with his own kinsmen."
Baekhyun and Hyo Ri laughed again at Hana's words.
"It's okay to have a few people in your life, as long as everyone is worth it to be in your life" Baekhyun replied.
"really. Especially your own husband. It's worth it, isn't it? Otherwise, your stomach won't be distended because it's pregnant with her child, right?" Hyo Ri joked again to make Hana's cheeks hot and flushed red from being teased like this.
"Hana, I won't ask to always include me in your matters. It's your right to share or not. But for sure, I'm always here if you're looking."
