"did he fall asleep in there or something?" sehun jokes to himself as he watches baekhyun stumble out of the men's bathroom after what seems like forever. the tipsy boy clumsily makes his way towards sehun before plopping down onto the seat next to him.

"gosh, i feel like i'm gonna die" baekhyun heaves out a sigh as he turns to face the bar, his fingers instantly finding their way to the half-empty snifter before curling tightly around it.

"you've had a little too much tonight, haven't you?" sehun stifles a laugh which is soon replaced by a frown as he intently watches baekhyun's facial expression change from tired to grimaced, his eyebrows are knit together and his teeth are sunken deep into his bottom lip.

"are you okay?" sehun asks, concern can be heard in his voice. baekhyun opens his mouth to respond but instead, dark red- black blood begins to ooze out from in between his teeth, streaming down his chin and dripping into his drink. he reaches over to grab the toxic-filled glass but baekhyun only tightens his hold around it, the glass shaking in his hand from the strong grip before breaking and shattering into pieces.

" i feel like i'm gonna die" baekhyun repeats himself between breaths, short and quick clouds of fog leaving his mouth as he brings his hand to clutch his side. "it hurts so bad" his choking cries sound almost deafening to sehun's ears.

sehun's concerned eyes travel down baekhyun's arm until they stop at his hand. the boy turns into a ghostly shade of white once he catches sight of the crimson liquid that's seeping through baekhyun's coat and onto his fingers. sehun abruptly stands up, knocking his stool down in the process.

"h-how did this happen?" he finds himself stutter, struggling to speak properly as his eyes scan all around the room in hopes of some sort of help but everyone is busy doing their own thing. "who did this to you?" he questions out loud, his voice coming out shaky.

baekhyun slightly turns his head towards sehun, his lips quivering and his eyes screaming for help but he's unable to utter a single word. the pain is turning so unbearable that it's making the wounded boy feel almost paralyzed. almost numb. almost gone.

his eyes slowly make their way from sehun's eyes, past his shoulders, down his chest and onto his hand where a sharp piece of broken glass remains clutched, and they stop. and he doesn't blink again.
