Killers: Taeyeon

Taeyeon: 22

I was about to lie down when we heard a knock on the door. Baekhyun grunted and turned around. I giggled at his cuteness. The knocking got louder, though. Okay, they are banging the door. I went to the bathroom so I could wash my hands. I heard Baekhyun talking loudly and I got alarmed. I quickly got out of the bathroom and saw Dr. Kim looking my way.

"Taeyeon, leave this place now!" I was surprised by his sudden yell. "Baekhyun!" He turned to Baekhyun who is now grabbing our stuff. "Use my car instead. They had your car bugged."

"What's happening?" I asked.

"They tracked us." Baekhyun said, and I don't need to ask who.

"I'll trail them off as far away from you as possible." Dr. Kim said and all of us left the room.

I suddenly remembered that we have to pay for the room, but Baekhyun just led me out. I looked back and saw Dr. Kim go to the counter. Is he gonna pay for our room? I quickly followed Baekhyun to a white Lamborghini. He opened the seat for me, and he quickly went inside and started driving. He's driving so fast, and I'm not sure on what to focus on, holding my urge to puke or the road being empty.

He slammed the steering wheel, and I was surprised by what he did. His eyes are on the road, but I know he wants to say something. I feel so stupid and useless right now. I stared at him and held his shoulder for him to relax. This is the least I could do now.

"I'm sorry. I was so stupid!" He said and I quickly shook my head.

"No, it's okay. I asked for this." He didn't say anything, but I want to end this. "Baekhyun, please turn around."

"What?" He parked somewhere, then turned to me. "Are you serious?"

"Yes."

"Why would you do that? Why would you risk your life!?"

"Because I want to end this, once and for all. I want to endless chase to be done." I looked at him and smiled at him. "I want this, Baekhyun."

He smiled bitterly. "You want this." He looked at me with tears in his eyes. "But did you ever ask me if I wanted to risk your life?" I didn't say anything. I was surprised by his sudden outburst. "Because if you can risk it, I can't. I don't want to, and there's no need for it! Taeyeon, please. Ask me anything, but not that."

"But my dad..."

"If you die today, you think they'd leave your father alone?" He's right. I don't have the assurance. "They won't. They'd use your death against him. They'd make him feel depressed, or they'd find a way to make him suffer. And would you want it to happen because of you?" I felt my tears fall as I shook my head continuously.

"Baek... I don't even know what to do anymore!" I said and covered my face with my hands. "I feel so useless!"

"I'm here..." He said and hugged me.

He stopped in front of a smaller hotel. I went out, and Baekhyun let the valet park it. He held my waist and we both went inside. The lady at the front desk smiled warmly at us, welcoming us. Baekhyun quickly told her we'll get a presidential suite. I was about to argue with him about the room, but he quickly stopped me by kissing my lips. The lady just smiled and handed him the card key. We thanked her, and we both rode the lift to our room.

"We could've gotten a cheaper room, Baekhyun."

"I know. But I didn't want you to suffer from a smaller room." He chuckled.

"Did you really think it would matter?" I asked him in disbelief.

"How would it not? I went to your room once, and an entire family with 5 children could fit in there." He said and smiled. "Besides, this is nothing compared to the wrong doings I did to-"

I pressed my finger against his lips. "Shhh. Let's not talk about that." But he held my wrist and kissed my finger, slowly opening the fist and him kissing my palms slowly.

When we were in front of the right room, we quickly went inside and we both lied down the bed. After a few minutes, I stood up and walked towards the window. I looked at the view. It's not as pretty as the first hotel we stayed at, though I don't remember much details because I was only able to view it once, but what attracted me was the pool.

"Baekhyun," I called and he opened his eyes slightly. "Can I take a dip tonight?"

"Sure. Just make sure I'm with you." He said and winked. I rolled my eyes playfully.

"Okay, prince charming." I said and sat beside him.

We both waited until night time. Surprisingly, the pool area was empty. No guest was there. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing, so I decided to just wait for a little more. I glanced at Baekhyun who is seriously looking at the menu for room service. He's gonna order dinner for us, and I don't even care whatever he feeds me. 

I walked towards him and hugged him from behind. My fingers circling the smallest details of his body. From his chest, to his tight abs, his arms and his neck. I hugged him tighter, earning a deep breath from him. I looked at him, not sure why he just did that. I gave him that look, but he just shrugged his shoulders.

"Let's just eat." He said and opened the door when the food arrived.

When we were finished eating, I took our my white shorts and yellow bikini top. I wore an oversized shirt so he wouldn't freak out. I mean, I doubt he cares about what I wear, but he might feel uncomfortable seeing me wear less clothes. When I got out of the bathroom, he was already waiting for me, bringing with him towels and bathrobes.

I looked around, and the pool area is still empty! I just took a deep breath and smiled. Surely, Hani won't be able to find us here. I sat down on the pool side and splashed the pool water with my feet. I smiled like an idiot because I miss this. I miss the feeling of pool water on my skin. It would've been better if Seohyun and Tiffany was with me.

I quickly went down the pool and swam. The pool isn't that deep, so I guess it's fine. I glanced at Baekhyun who is smiling at me. I swam further, enjoying every bit of this! There were so many things I couldn't do, but now, I'm free. I know this is temporary, but I should at least enjoy this, right? 

I swam further, and when I stopped to catch my breath, my feet couldn't reach the floor. I started to panic and called Baekhyun. I saw him take off his bathrobe and dive towards me. I quickly hugged him, startled at what happened. I almost drowned! Stupid move, Taeyeon! I'm not a good swimmer! Thankfully, he is. He brought me back to the chairs and I coughed the water that I drank.

"You're crazy!" He said, he wiped my hair with a towel. "Let's go back to the hotel room." I looked at him, and he's staring at me. I reached his neck and stared at his thin lips. Without hesitation, I kissed him. I took him by surprise as he was stunned for a moment. But he returned my kisses. Slow, warm and wet kisses. But he pulled away, making me frown.

"Not here." He said and we both went back to our room.
