ANDREA'S POV

Shiz! I hope he wouldn't misunderstand things. But knowing Baekhyun, he surely will. Akala niya may namamagitan saamin ni Chanyeol, akala niya si Chanyeol ang mahal ko.


I don't know what to do. Feeling ko mas lalong lalayo ang loob niya saakin. He's so... distant, noong nakaraang mga araw. Then? Mas lalo siyang mabibigyan ng rason kung bakit siya lalayo ng husto. I don't effin' want that!


But, as I look upon him I can't even move, not a single step. As if my feet are glued into the ground. All I can do is stare at his gaze, letting myself drown into those orbs which makes my knees go jell-o.


I want to utter a single word however, my mouth won't even move. Why am I like this? I really want to get close to him, close the gap between us. Break this wall he keeps on building every single day. Let him say the words I've been dying to hear.


"Sorry for disturbing," He said then look at Chanyeol for about three seconds then to me, halos hindi ako makahinga sa titig niya. Ang tagal ng titig niya at hindi ko alam kung gaano katagal ito, yet it's enough to make my heart race and make my stomach churn.


"Ah, Baek, a-anong pinagsasabi mo?" Chanyeol made an awkward laugh. Napatingin ako sakanya, alam kong he's doing his best para hindi mamisunderstand ni Baekhyun ang lahat.


"Well, as I enter the rooftop my eyes fell on the both of you, hugging and her... kissing you." Halos manlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi niya, lalo na ng diniin niya ang salita sa huli. So, h-he thought na...


"Oh, congratulations! I never thought I'm the very first creature to know that the two of you are now official so---"


"B-Baek..." This time I already have found my voice, and my tongue seems to move at my will, blurting his name.


His gaze fell upon me and I shudder, his eyes were so... cold and intense. Now, my voice once again have abandoned me, leaving me speechless. Well yeah, I guess I'm the most idiot person in this planet.


"What now?" He said, raising his left brow while holding the knob of the door, titling his head as if waiting for me to speak.


"P-pwede ba akong l-lumapit sa'yo?" He stiffened a little bit but regain his composture, hindi niya siguro na inaasahan na sasabihin ko ang mga katagang iyon.


He laugh, not the laugh which I like, it was an empty one... a bitter kind of laugh. How can the sweet Baekhyun I knew before can transformed into this kind of creature? Is he really Baekhyun? Is this really a part of Byun Baekhyun's?


"Why? Scared of me, young girl?" No, I am never scared of you. Takot lang ako na baka pag lumapit ako, itulak mo ako palayo dahil ayaw mong lumapit saakin, dahil ayaw mo akong maging parte muli ng buhay mo.


"Nope, I am not." I look at him. A smirk made it's way into his lips, since when did he learn to smirk?


Lumingon ako kay Chanyeol, he also looked at me. We smiled onto each other before facing Baekhyun, is he testing me? I glaced at Chanyeol once again, he gave me a reassuring smile at ngumuso sa pwesto ni Baekhyun, sinasabi na tumuloy na ako.


I nodded in response as I took a single step, I beamed.


This time, I will make my move.


'Cause I want my Baekhyun back.

STELLA'S POV


It's cute how a small thing can be so significant yet it also hurts knowing that the "small thing" can also ruin a perfectly built relationship.
