"Promise" I join pinkies with his granny, vowing that I would never hurt her Baekhyun. My Baekhyun.  Our Baekhyun.  She held her arms out at me again and I gave her a tight hug reassuring her that I wouldn't break my promise. A tear escapes and runs down my cheek as I'm hugging her. It's tough making a promise that you don't know whether you would keep or not.

"How long have you two been dating for?" She asks. I reply "10 months" but then remember that she can't hear very well so I show her my ten fingers.

She nods slowly and whispers "time for marriage" whilst giggling. Before I can reply, a nurse comes in with a teddy bear and says that it's time for granny to rest. I give her a kiss and leave to find him sitting on the bench with his face in his hands. I notice how his shoulders droop, how his beautiful fingers so similar to his grandmother's cover his weeping face. I touch his shoulder. At my touch, he hugs me, crying at the same time as he hiccups. I gently pat him reminding him that it's ok to cry....

"Promise" I shake hands with my manager and Exo's manager, assuring them that Baekhyun and I would end everything between us. Once they leave, the tears break free and my knees give way. I probably look like a ragged mess but I can't help my silent sobs as I watch Baekhyun in the vocal room, through the windows from which he cannot see me. It hurts that we're side by side yet not together.  I drag myself towards him and place my hand on the glass that separates us two.

"Forgive me" I whisper into the air as he looks at my direction, fixing his hair and smiling to himself with his satisfied appearance.  A chuckle escapes my lips as he sits on the other side, looking at a photograph of me on his phone. He puts two fingers on his lips, kisses them and places the two fingers on my photo.

"Promise" I tucked my members in bed, reassuring them that SNSD would be great again and that everyone would love us. I switched the lights off and tiptoed to my escape in the terrace. I sat on the sofa, my head resting on the pillow,  hoping that sleep would take over. I suppose he found it difficult to sleep too because I could hear a tapping at the sliding glass doors. I walk over to him and place my hand where his hand is. They were touching yet they were not touching. My phone beeped, a message from him telling me to put my cheek against the glass. I did so and he put his lips against the other side.
