After taking a shower and changing clothes, Taeyeon arranged and packed her clothes in the closet.
She is confused, is Baekhyun gonna sleep in the same room with her?
Must be! He's your husband, Taeyeon. Don't be so stupid.
Hissed her heart. Taeyeon sighed slowly. A moment later, the door to the room was opened.
Taeyeon turned and saw Baekhyun enter. However, what surprised her was Baekhyun who was only wearing a towel from his navel to his knees.
Taeyeon quickly looked away and closed her eyes. She cursed herself in her heart. Baekhyun knew and he noticed. Then he smirked and approached Taeyeon slowly.
Taeyeon could hear Baekhyun's footsteps, making her stomach cringe. She bit her lower lip and try to calm down. She inhaled and exhaled many times.
Baekhyun finally stop behind her. "Why are you closing your eyes?" Baekhyun teased.
Taeyeon squeaked slowly.
"You, don't you want to wear clothes? Tch." Taeyeon replied.
"What's wrong? You're my wife already." he teased again.
Taeyeon sighed softly before reaching for the pajamas for Baekhyun. She then looked back while closing her eyes and she gave the pajamas. Baekhyun smiled at Taeyeon's behavior.
He giggled in silence before he took the pajamas and went into the toilet. After hearing the sound of the door closing, Taeyeon opened her eyes again and breathed a sigh of relief.
Taeyeon then went back to packing her clothes and Baekhyun's clothes in the closet.
After finishing, she lay down on the bed. Taeyeon put her head on the pillow and closed her eyes.
Baekhyun came out of the bathroom and looked at Taeyeon who was lying down. He closed the bathroom door and headed to their bed.
He climbed onto the bed and leaned against the headboard. Baekhyun then looked at Taeyeon while Taeyeon knew that Baekhyun is next to her.
Her heart started to beat again.
For some reason, she quickly felt nervous and her heart beat faster every time Baekhyun was near her.
"Are you asleep?" Baekhyun slowly asked.
Taeyeon opened her eyes. Because Taeyeon had her back to Baekhyun, so Baekhyun couldn't see if Taeyeon was sleeping or not.
Talk to him.
Her heart said. Suddenly she remembered Tiffany's advice. She sighed in silence and pushed herself up from the bed.
She also leaned against the headboard. But she was not looking at him.
"Hm?" she hummed.
"Are you still scolding me and not accepting this marriage?" Baekhyun's question made Taeyeon look at him.
She frowned. "What made you saying like that?" she asked back.
Baekhyun sat cross-legged and faced Taeyeon, no longer leaning against the headboard. He looked at her for a long time.
"You hate me, don't you? Is that what you say, right? So I thought, you may hate this marriage." he mumbled.
Taeyeon looked away. She was stunned and she don't know what to reply. Of course Baekhyun will think like that. Taeyeon said many times before that she hates him.
But actually, she's not. She loves him but she was too egotistical. She denies it and ignores her feelings for him.
"I heard what you say at Kibum. You mad at him because he's not the one who should be your husband."
Taeyeon closed her eyes for a moment before she looked at Baekhyun. "What did you hear again after that?" she raised her eyebrows.
Baekhyun shakes his head. "I leave." he said. "Because I can't hear it anymore."
Taeyeon chuckled cynically. She looked down and mumbled softly. "You didn't even hear the real conversation." she muttered.
But, Baekhyun heard it. Baekhyun's gaze changed. He frowned but he just remained silent without saying anything.
"I'm sorry if you still love him and—"
"Shut up, pabo."
Baekhyun blinked twice. He was stunned after Taeyeon called him stupid. Taeyeon looked at him.
"You didn't listen to the conversation until the end. You just keep going." Taeyeon said in annoyance.
Taeyeon looked away from Baekhyun. Hee eyes began to water. She bit her bottom lip, feeling a little nervous before she spoke.
"I love you."
Baekhyun froze. Did he mishear? Nope. Indeed, that was the sentence he had been waiting for all this time.
Baekhyun was silent for a while. Taeyeon still didn't look at him and she continued her words.
"I know, I'm ego. I admit it. I'm so ego that I don't realize that I actually.. still love you. Unknowingly, I had hurt my own feelings. Tiffany and Yura are right. I was wrong." she said.
Baekhyun just stared at her.
"Kibum also said the truth. I still love you. And this feeling never fades or even disappears. But this feeling grew even more when I returned to Korea." Taeyeon's tears are getting faster and faster down her cheeks.
"I realize I have hurt you. Many times with my words and actions. I acted like that because...I wanted to show that I no longer love you. But I don't really. I even..miss you more and more and feel guilty."
Baekhyun finally reached out to Taeyeon and gently pulled her into his arms. He gently stroked Taeyeon's head lovingly.
"I'm sorry.."
Taeyeon said while sobbing in his arms. Baekhyun smiled thinly as he tightened his hug. He felt happy after hearing Taeyeon's heart. He felt calm.
Baekhyun gently kissed Taeyeon's forehead. His kisses full of love and warm hugs made Taeyeon feel comfortable. Her tears flowed again.
They hugged for a long time before Baekhyun broke the hug and gently caressed both of Taeyeon's cheeks. His eyes darted softly at Taeyeon's eyes.
"It's okay. It's not your fault. It's all my fault. It's my fault for treating you badly first. I ignored you and scolded you first. It's my fault. I didn't realize that I liked you. After you left, I realized. So, you should treat me like that. Because I didn't appreciate you before." he said.
Taeyeon looked down. "But it's my fault too."
"No, sweetie. Not your fault. It's mine."
"Still, I'm too egotistical."
Baekhyun smiled thinly. He looked down too, looking at her eyes.
"It's the past already. Let's forget it. Plus, we're married already. I'm so grateful and happy." he smiled.
Taeyeon looked at Baekhyun for a long time before she slowly smiled and nodded. Baekhyun gently wiped Taeyeon's tears.
Taeyeon then wrapped her arms around Baekhyun's neck. Baekhyun just smiled and let her. He also wrapped his arms around Taeyeon's waist.
But, what surprised Baekhyun was, when Taeyeon suddenly kissed his lips softly.
He froze, and he was stunned plus speechless. He can't reply to her kiss as he was speechless there.
Taeyeon then let go of the kiss and looked away immediately. She was freaking shy, and her cheeks now are red. She was blushing right now.
Baekhyun realised it and he chuckled slightly. She was so cute for him. Baekhyun then pecked on her lips. Taeyeon's cheeks become more red and hot.
"So cute." Baekhyun muttered.
"I really love you."
Taeyeon smiled. "Me too."
