6. Call it magic

Chapter 6 - Call it magic

I'm in a place that I'm not familiar with. Tall trees surrounding me, and the sun lights peeking through the spaces between the enormous trees. When I looked up, the sky looks so bright and boundless.. The wind gushing silently, the birds chirping endlessly. As I was standing, I heard someone singing. His angelic voice soothing my pain. The softness bounding my pained heart. I haven't heard someone singing like this. I can't decipher the words coming from him, what I can hear is humming, but even though it's still gives me chills, in a good way. I turned around. Nothing. There's no one here except me. I seek for his voice, but I found nothing. I feel light headed, I closed my eyes and saw white. All white. I feel candle like fingers caressing my features, then a warmth in my lips. I found him pressing his lips on me. But I can't see his face, it's too bright. Then when I opened my eyes again, he's gone.

I opened my eyes and a white celling is what I see. Oh, it's just a dream.

A familiar scent took my thoughts away. It's bacon. I sniffed my way to his kitchen where this scent was coming from and there I found Baekhyun on his white apron, he still has his bed hair, the sunlight made his face glow.

If I could just wake up to this every morning, all the tomorrows after this, forever.

"Pabo Park Chanyeol you can't stare at him, no stop!" I shook my head. Baekhyun's kiss makes me crazy, in a good and in a not so good way. This caught Baekhyun's attention.

But this is a rare opportunity. Me and Baekhyun, without Taeyeon. Me and Bakhyun in his house, wearing casual clothes, not in my office wearing suits. Me waiting for the food while he cooks, not me waiting for the papers he fixed for me. Might as well grasp the opportunity right? Because sadly, this may not happen in the future.

"What are you doing Mr.Park? You're still sick, at this rate you might fall." He rushed to me not minding the egg he just dropped.

"I've already fallen." Shit. What did I just say?

"Oh my god! I'm really sorry Mr. Park, I should have payed more attention." Baekhyun said pretty oblivious of what I just blurted out. I'm quite relieved that Baekhyun's clueless otherwise I'd be really embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's not your fault, and please stop calling me 'Mr. Park', it's not my office, it's your home."

"But..."

"You're not my secretary here and I'm fine, I swear I'm fine now. Please let me help you." I said with my brightest smile, and who could resist this cute giant? So of course, Baekhyun agreed.

Baekhyun had always been someone I can't have. I never thought I could be with him outside my office, but I'm here making breakfast together with him. We're alone in his apartment. Here he belongs to me. Here he's mine.

Chanyeol belongs to a world I'm unfamiliar of, he's unreachable, but he who I can't reach is here with me in my apartment, cooking with me. Here we're equal. Here it's just the two of us. Here Ican be true to myself.

I'm absorbed in my thoughts, when I heard him screech. He stepped on the egg I dropped earlier. I can see the disgust in his face. I was about to apologize when he laughed his lungs out.

I just stood there with my mouth still half open. I watched how Chanyeol's hair bounces as he laughs at his own stupidity. Soon I found myself laughing too.

"Why are you laughing?" Chanyeol asked. I froze right then and there afraid that I might lose my job at any moment but to my surprise, he threw an egg at me and laughed again. Soon both of us werethrowing eggs, flour, and even bacon.
