Taeyeon's P.O.V

[ 3 weeks ago]

"Stop all of this, Taeyeon." I heard Baekhyun sigh.

"Stop crying yourself to sleep, stop zoning out, utter a word, please, eat something." He said as he run his fingers through my hair. He thinks I'm still asleep. His arm is holding me, making me lean on his shoulder. I don't know if he slept along with me, but what I know is I cried myself to sleep while Baekhyun is comforting me.

"Are you crying?" I asked with a small voice.

"What? No." He said. It was obvious though. I moved away from his arms.

"Say I did cry, what's the problem?" He asked and I just shrugged.

"You talked!" He exclaimed and I gave him a weird gaze.

"Of course I can talk, Im not mute." I don't know why, but I feel like I'm not strong enough or my voice is just up to a whispering volume.

"It's just that you haven't talked since you got the news." He stated and I just shrugged.

I sighed, Baekhyun looked at me and asked, "Princess, are you okay now?"

I just responded by pressing my lips into a line. That's enough, right?

"Taeyeon.." He called me.

"Give me the chance to fix you." He said and I looked at him with a confused expression, though I completely understand what he said.

"Your prescence is enough to fix me." I whispered.

"What I'm seeing right now makes me believe otherwise." He said.

"You're making the gaping hole in my heart diminish, Baek. You're the one who made me really smile since...he left. You're the one I want to see almost everyday."

"So, does that mean, we are? We can? There can be an us?" He asked.

"We don't need to be in a relationship for you to fix me, Baek. Just be with me everyday. That's all that matters to me now. The pain now will subside as long as you're with me."

"But how can I shout to the world that you're mine? How can I call you my Taeyeon? How can I have the right to feel jealousy everytime you're texting Taehyung if you're not...mine."

"But Baek.. My feelings as of now are inconsistent. I'm not sure if Im really over him."

"It's okay, Goo. Just please let me fix you, let me be the one to take the pain away. Let my love take away the pain."

"Give me time.. I don't want to hurt you.." I sighed.

"So what if I got hurt? I don't care." He said.

"You might not care, but I do. And I can't stand the picture in my head right now." I looked at him.

"I can't stand the fact of you leaving me because I caused you pain." I added.

"I like you, Baek. I really do. But the pain of him leaving me, is still there and that's stoping you from making me happy."

"Then I'll wait.." He held my hand and I gave him a small smile.

"You sure he won't ditch again?" Taehyung said while driving.

"Hey, stop hating the guy just because he ditched me once."

"Once?"

"Okay! Three times. But he gave me a decent reason, so just drop it."

"And on my defense, I don't hate the guy. Hate is a strong word. I just can't grow a liking towards him."

"Sad. Because your opinion doesn't matter to him." I teased.

"Well, look at that. Finally found a similarity between the two of us."

"But hey, send my thanks to Daehyun." He said.

"It's Baekhyun for the 100th time." I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, whatever. Tell him I said thank you."

"What for?" I asked.

""If he didn't ditch that day, I wouldn't have met you." He said.

"Sure, Taehyung. Whatever." I said in a sarcastic tone.

"Okay, stop the car. I'll walk from here." I grabbed my bag.

"Why? I can drive you there."

"Yeah, and just ruin the mood? No thank you. Bye." I stepped out from his car when stepped out of his car and called me.

"What?!" I asked.

"Where's my good bye kiss?" He asked and I flipped him off.

"Feisty Taeyeon at it's finest. Enjoy your date with Daehyun."

"Baekhyun." I corrected, he just shrugged and got in his car. Sometimes I ask myself why haven't I punched Taehyung in the face? That would destroy his god--I mean, good looking face.

--

"Taeyeon!" A familiar voice called my name.

"What now?" I asked him as I stand on the sidewalk.

"He ditched again, didn't he?" Taehyung asked.

"Get inside." He added.

As I got inside his car, he bombarded me with questions. And I decided that he just drive me to Baekhyun's apartment instead of going home. He said he caught a flu last night.

"Okay, I'll go now. Thank you for the ride. You're my hero." I said. but he held my wrist and stopped me from going out from his car.

"Taeyeon, I don't have a good feeling about this." He said.

"Taehyung, stop. It's not funny. Stop doubting Baekhyun because I don't and I won't. Thank you for the ride. I'll go now." I said with knitted eyebrows and left his car.

As I enter the elevator, silence filled the room. Making Taehyung's voice replay in my head.

He keeps on doubting Baekhyun because he doesn't know him. So infruriating.

I twisted my duplicate key on Baek's door. I don't to bother him walking to the door, considering he has a flu. And this might as well be a surprise visit because he was so busy with finals that we haven't saw each other in a whole week. I'll admit it, I miss him.

As I walked quietly in his apartment, I felt excited to see him, or maybe hug him?

I slowly opened his door.

Or maybe I shouldn't be excited at all.
