When you take a break and meet again after two years part 1/2
You stared at Baekhyun who was in the practice room together with his other members. You felt a little guilty when you watched him, working so hard for his members and for himself and for his fans. You were just a normal girl, studying at an university, keeping him away from his dreams. And you both knew it, you both knew that you were a burden in this relationship, but he had never blamed you for anything. He wasn't been mean to you even though you both knew that you were messing with his idiole life, he messed with it by dating a normal girl.
So you both saw this day coming, it was a day you both knew that would come one day, your relationship was doomed anyway. You two made the best of it while you still could, you loved each other, you still did, but this was so predictable. A girl is never going to make a boy chose her over his work, the thing he loved to do. Or at least a good girlfriend wouldn't, and even if you said it yourself, you were a good girlfriend.
You sighed as the music stopped and Suho said that they had worked hard enough for today, making the boys cheer in relief. You entered the room with the same smile as normal, were greeted by everyone like nothing was about to happen, did they know. Even Baekhyun looked lovingly at you like nothing was going on, like everything was cool. As the room became empty you and Baekhyun sat down against the mirror and talked a bit about all kind of random stuff. You laughed, joked aroung, and teased like it never had been different, but today was different.
Suddenly the conversation fell silent and you started to feel a little down, knowing what was about to come. "It's time isn't it?" He asked as he looked up at you and played with your enterwined fingers. You nodded slowly, not making this any harder than it already was. "You know _________-ah, I've been thinking about this. We don't have to do this, if we just..." You turned around so you faced him and put your free hand on his cheek to sush him. "Yes we do. I don't want your carreer to suffer under this relationship. I love you Byun Baekhyun, and that's why I'm letting you go. I love you and I want to see you happy. And this..." You looked around the room, motioning that he also had to do that. "This is what makes you happy. And if giving you up is what I have to do to make you happy I'm willing to pay the price, since I love you, and I always will."
Tears formed in his eyes and you blinked your own ones away as you felt the tears on your hand which was still on his face. He then smiled at you, touching your face with his fingertips, like he was saying goodbye to you. "And I will always love you. I'll come back for you, it may take a while, but I'll come back, I promis. All you have to do is wait for me." You sighed, knowing how this went in drama's. But when the person you loved asked you in real life, you could just not refuse. "Okay, I'll wait for you. No matter how long it is, I'll wait for you."
You both stood up and looked at your hands which were in each others. "I'm going to miss having you around. C-can I call you?" He asked, suddenly scared to never hear your voice again. You bit your lip, not knowing what to anwser but finally you shook your head. "No, let's not make this any harder than it already is shall we?" You smiled at him, but it was different now. It was a sad smiled, you were sacrificing your love for him, for his life, and yes, it hurt you. He nodded, he understood and he didn't want to make things more difficult. You loosened your grip on him as you took a step backwards, to the door.
"Well, then I'll see you...when I see you." You pulled your hands out of his while he nodded. "But you'll definitely see me again." He said while he wiped his tears away with the back of his hand. "I love you Baekhyun." "I love you too _________." Those words were the last ones you heard from him as you turned your back to him and walked out of the door, without looking back. Your footsteps fading for his hearing in the hallway as you made your way out of the SM building. A place that became your second home, and now you were leaving it all behind.
