One Day, One Chance (EXO Baekhyun One-Shot) DONE

Part 3

Its been a year since EunRae died and I can't move on. She has been part of my life even if it just for a short time. I love her and she loves me but why did I took it too long? My life seems to be like a blank canvass; everything's quiet, everything's dark. I can't feel anything but pain. I've been having nightmares since she passed away and it brings me more pain.

Damn, I miss her! and I can't ever move on. My heart still beats for her and she can't be replaced by other girl; My answer is her. EunRae, if you're still here, then I won't be feeling this way. Speak to EunRae, I need you.

I heard my phone rang and it was a call from my friend, Chanyeol.

"Baekhyun-ah." He spoke.

"What." I replied coldly. I didn't bother if he'll be hurt.

"Do you remember what day's today?' He asked, cheering me up.

"No and why bother?" I replied and I heard him sigh.

"It's your birthday." He answered and that phrase kept on repeating in my head. It's my birthday and at the same time, today is EunRae's 1st death anniversary. 

After I said 'dead', I cried again and I feel my chest tighten when I said her name. I can't bear a day without seeing her sweet smile and laugh. Her face that is still stored in my head, it will never be removed.

I ended the call and continued crying. I don't want to celebrate my birthday because I know that I will just cry. I've become weak and pale. I rarely eat; I rarely sleep. My life is only her.

While I was staring at my bedroom's wall, I heard a knock from the living room. Who could that be? Maybe it's Chanyeol and the gang. I really don't want people entering my house again.

I opened the door and to my surprise.

"Oppa!" I saw a girl, carrying a birthday cake in front of me. Is this really her? If this is a dream, I won't ever wake up. 

I was frozen, I can't move. I thought she was dead.

"Oppa, you still remember me right?" She asked. Oh, how I missed her voice! I took the cake from her and placed it on the nearby table. I suddenly hugged her while tears started to race down to my cheeks. I can sense her caressing my back. I'm not dreaming! It's real! I tighten the hug more.

"Eun Rae.... I'm happy, now that you're here!" I said between my sobs.

"I'm glad to hear that. I missed you." She said and I removed my tears away and cupped her face.

"I missed you more." I smiled and wiped her tears that fell from her eyes. I leaned forward then she closed her eyes. My body started to shiver and my heart beats faster. I crashed my lips to hers and I swear, it was the most sweetest kiss I've ever had. 

It felt like centuries when we kissed untill she stopped and rested her forehead on my lips.

"I'm here to celebrate your birthday." She said and I smiled.

"Stay with me..... forever." I said but her smile turned into a frown.

"I'm sorry oppa but i can't." She said then looked down. I don't know how to react. I thought she's going to live with me.

"Then take me with you, wherever you are, I'll be by your side. Take me with you Eun Rae." I said, intertwining our fingers together. I saw her eyes filled with guilt and all she did was sigh.

"Let's just enjoy this day ok?" She said then took me to the dining room. She let me sat down while she was cutting the cake. I noticed the table moved and I saw a piece of cake in front of me.

"Oppa, please eat." She said, smiling. I didn't smile back for she will just be with me for a short period of time. I just stared at her face.

"Please take me with you Eun Rae. I can't live a life without you. Please" I begged her but again, I can still read that she's guilty.

"I'm sorry Baek, but you still have dreams that is needed to be fulfilled." She answered.

"You are my dream Eun Rae, the moment when you said 'I love you', I already know that I have nothing to ask anymore but you so please." I let my tears flow again as if it was the only way to beg her. I can't lose her again, not in my birthday again.

"The time has come Baek, I have to go." I saw her stood up from the chair. I held her two hands and knelt in front of her.

"Please, don't leave me Eun Rae and take me with you, I beg you." I closed my eyes tight, thinking that she'll leave me again. She bent down and caressed my cheeks. I held it tight and cried more while staring at her.

"I love you Baek." Those words..... She said that same phrase a year ago. I can't bear listening to her again.

"I love you too Eun Rae." I answered. She leaned forward and then crashed her lips with mine. It was long but passionate. I can still feel that she still loves me and the one for me. She's the first woman I've ever cried over, she's the one I want to spend my life with. I will never replace her with other girls.

I can sense her fading away as we kissed. I let my tears fall endlessly till she is nowhere to be seen.

I heaved out a sigh and enveloped my arms together and there, I saw a note.

I'll see you soon oppa. I'll wait for you. I love you.

-Eun Rae.

I placed the note on my chest and breathed slowly as I was trying to stop my tears. I then opened my eyes and finally realized that I'm back to reality.

"I'll do my best to see you once again and live our life together, Eun Rae; I love you too." I said then Stood up and took a sit on the chair that I recently used earlier. I stared at the cake that she brought which made me smile by just her efforts on making it.  It was nearly perfect but I didn't bother if it was ugly or not. As long it was from her, I'm happy.

"Baekhyun-ah." I heard a man's voice. I looked from the other side and it was Chanyeol with the gang with foods on their hands.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" They all said and I hugged them all. Even all this time, I pushed them away, they're still here, never left my side. I'm happy to have such great friends like them.
