BDC Chapter 21

Feb 8, 2016

"You win.." Taeyeon said shortly before pulling herself away from Baekhyun and walking leaving him standing there while smiling. Shaking his head, Baekhyun trailed behind her until they arrive at the nearby dukbokki house. Entering the small place, Baekhyun looked around and saw people at all ages eating in there, couples, families, the old ones and even students filled the place. 
"There's a vacant seat at the corner.." Baekhyun said and Taeyeon glanced at him before walking past him and sitting herself on one of the chairs. Baekhuyn on the other hand chuckled before taking a seat just infront of Taeyeon, placing his elbows above the table with his hands supporting his chin, Baekhyun stared at Taeyeon. 
"Oh, Taeyeon. You're here!" An old man said and Taeyeon's face lightened up before standing up with a smile and giving him a bow. 
"Of course, I missed you grandpa" Taeyeon said and the old man huggedher as he patted her back. "So what do you want?" He asked and Taeyeon smiled before answering. "The usual.." She said and the old man glanced at her back before smiling sheepishly. 
"Is he your boyfriend?" The old man asked and Taeyeon shook her head before waving her hands frantically. "No, he's not" Taeyeon said and Baekhyun on the other hand raised his brows as he stood up and went to greet the old man. 
"Goodmorning sir" Baekhyun said as he bowed to him and the old man smiled before patting his shoulder happily. "Goodmorning to you too young man.. You seem familiar" He said and Baekhyun smiled toothily before scratching his nape and glancing at Taeyeon who just sighed. 
"Maybe I just look like someone.." Baekhyun said as he smiled and the old man nodded his head. "You're right.." The man said as he chuckled and Baekhyun nodded his head. 
"So, what does you two lovesbirds want?" He asked and Baekhyun smiled and Taeyeon on the other hand grumbled lightly making sure that the two didn't heard what she did. 
"Grandpa.. We aren't--" 
"Dukbokki for two sir.." Baekhyun said with a smile and the old man nodded his head. "Alright, just wait for it" He said before patting Baekhyun's shoulder and leaving the two alone. Making her way back to her sit, Taeyeon grumbled again as she put her elbows at the table with her hands supporting her chin and looking outside of the tent making the sun shine against her face. 
"Are you mad?" Baekhyun suddenly asked and Taeyeon turned her head to look at him. "You could have just said that we're not a couple. Now he won't stop looking for you everytime I will come here" Taeyeon said with a hint of annoyance in her voice making Baekhyun lightly frown but then he quickly composed himself as he tried to fake a smile. 
"Then I'll come here with you.." Baekhyun simply said and Taeyeon just dropped her head on the table. "Here you go.." Taeyeon heard the old man's voice so she lifted her head up and smiled. 
"Thank you grandpa.." Taeyeon said and was about to get her purse when the old man spoke. 
"It's for free since you brought someone else here other than Yoona" The old man said with a smile and Taeyeon shook her head.
"No, grandpa--" 
"Take it.." He said before leaving and Taeyeon sighed before frowning. "What's wrong?" Baekhyun asked and Taeyeon shook her head before miding her own self. Baekhyun on the other hand shrugged his shoulder and just let Taeyeon do what she wants. 
"We're getting late.." Taeyeon said after she glanced at her wristwatch, she just got done eating and Baekhyun doesn't look like planning to finish his meal any sooner. "It's okay.." Baekhyun nonchalantly said and Taeyeon sighed before dropping her shoulders. 
"Come on now.." Taeyeon said and Baekhyun looked up to her before looking down on his plate. "We're going to be late anyways, what's with the rush?" Baekhyun asked and Taeyeon sighed before looking outside completely ignoring his question. 
"If you want to leave you can go now.." Baekhyun said with an almost cold voice and Taeyeon abruptly stood up and took her bag with her leaving Baekhyun alone. As much as she hates it, Taeyeon doesn't want them to get caught arriving the school together nor she wants to make a buzz about her and Baekhyun.
She just wants to avoid rumors not when Baekhyun and her are starting to be good friends. 
Going of the place, Taeyeon fastened her pace but stopped when saw the old man walking towards her. 
"Where's the young man you're with?" He asked while taking a peek behind Taeyeon but saw no one there. "Grandpa, we're not dating" Taeyeon said with a tone of pleading in her voice and the old man smiled before shaking his head. 
"I know.." He said making Taeyeon furrow her brows.
"But how come--" 
"The way he looks at you.. I can say that he sees you more than that, and I think you see him that way too" The old man said and Taeyeon frowned. Does she? No, of course she doesn't. She always get herself, especially her feelings and emotions checked and she's more than confident to tell the old man that she doesn't like Baekhyun 'that' way. 
"I don't think so grandpa.." Taeyeon said and the old man chuckled.
"Maybe now you may not.. But don't you think leaving him inside will make you a good friend?" The old man asked diverting their conversation to another one knowing that Taeyeon might get a little confused if he still talks to her that way about him. Right now, he's just glad knowing that Taeyeon starts to open herself up to new people. 
She's like a daughter to him already and he treasures Taeyeon even when they're not really related. 
"I.. uh.." Taeyeon said not being able to find the right words to say.
"Go back to him.. I'm sure he won't eat alone" The old man said before going back to the dukbokki house and Taeyeon sighed. She stood there a couple of more minutes contemplating whether to come back and apologize to Baekhyun or not, but then suddenly, when the cold wind blew Taeyeon immediately looked to her side and noticed that she still had the coat Baekhyun lend her earlier. 
Letting out a groan, Taeyeon ly to see Baekhyun standing a few steps away from her. 
"Why are you still here?" Baekhyun asked and Taeyeon noticed a pang of hurt in the tone of his voice. 
"I just--" 
"I thought you'll be late" Baekhyun cut her off and Taeyeon looked down feeling guiltier than ever, 
"We already are.." Taeyeon answered back still not looking at him. 
"You should have left me.." Baekhyun said and Taeyeon shook her head disagreeing with his statement before lifting her gaze up and meeting his. 
"Why?" Baekhyun asked wanting to know the reason why Taeyeon didn't leave even when he asked her and even when she seemed that she wanted to in the first place, hearing this Taeyeon took a deep breath. 
"I can't.. I don't want to.."
