#except for chan

it was late at night. the streets were empty, only the faint glare of the streetlights guiding you back to humanity. once in a while a person would pass by, but rare in the long walk from the library to your apartment. you hoped no one would pass, you were aware of the news stories.

to your dismay, someone did. he sneezed. a simple sneeze. you didn’t think much of it, you were a polite person, so you uttered out a small “bless you”. that was when your breath became ragged and your feet were forced to move faster. you could feel his presence behind you. it was dark, so you couldn’t see his, but you could feel him creeping up. goosebumps.

after what seemed like a lifetime and a half, you slipped in your front door. you slammed it shut. hopefully you were safe now. “l-love?”, a croaked voice came out from the bedroom. “channie!” you cried out. “what’s wrong?” chan replied, slowly regaining consciousness. you felt bad; you knew he didn’t sleep, and the one time he did...

“it’s all my fault, i shouldn’t have said anything. i don’t know. i should have done it. i should’ve kept quiet. maybe it wouldn’t have happened, it all my fault” you bursted out, running into chans arms. your boyfriend had a talent for calming people down. he led you to the bedroom, never taking his arms away from you. even if he had no clue, the producer knew he had to protect you. “love, i don’t know what happened, please tell me, but never ever blame yourself ok, never” he whispered softly. “b-but if i never said bless you, the man wouldn’t have followed m-me” you weakly let out. this was enough to set chan off.

“no, no no no. no. baby, you should never have to be in this state because some thirsty old man doesn’t have the ability to keep to himself. no man is ever entitled to a woman like that. he should know his boundaries. this is harassment. this isnt ok. please baby just don’t ever blame yourself. it really breaks my heart. you’re strong and independent. you deserve to be able to go out at late nights and feel safe. heck, that’s all i want from you. i promise, as your boyfriend, i’ll never make you feel uncomfortable like that, always tell me, yeah. promise?” it was chan’s turn to burst out. he felt disgusted that he had to hear those words from you, regarding the situation. “i promise”, you smiled up at the boy.
