Fake | BaekYeon

-3-

"We are going to make it look real. So you two are going on a not so secret date together in a cafe."their manager told them. "The paparazzi are going to follow you two this time, so make sure that it looks real."he reminded them.

"Okay."Baekhyun nodded and glanced down at Taeyeon. He found Taeyeon's height perfect for him and he secretly likes to feel like the dominant one in this fake relationship. Taeyeon looked up at him and flashed him a small smile.

"Don't mess this up. We are counting on you two."the manager said and left.

"How are we going to go there?"Taeyeon asked him.

"By my car."Baekhyun replied. "Let's go to the parking lot and get this act done with."he muttered. Taeyeon nodded and followed beside him. They got into his car and Baekhyun handed her a pair of sunglasses.

"What for?"she asked as she grabbed the shades from him.

"We have to make sure that it looks real."he said as he put on his sunglasses. "Make an attempt to hide your identity, and let the paparazzi do all the work about finding out who you are."he said.

"That sounds very smart."she smiled at him as she put on her sunglasses. "You sound very experienced in this."she commented.

He cleared his throat and started to drive his car out of the parking lot, soon they are on the road. Taeyeon was bored because Baekhyun is so quiet and she is too shy to switch on the radio.

She took out her phone and checked her social media account. It has been a week since she logged into her social media account, because her manager instructs her to not check it until times has passed. She assumed that a week is long enough for that and it is time for her to look at what her fans have been doing.

She was smiling all the way when she saw how her fans are so supportive of her 'relationship'. She stopped when she saw a hashtag that says 'Welovetaengoo'. She usually doesn't look at hashtags as it is usually spam of other idols and irrelevant stuff. But since it has been so long since she got onto social media, she pressed it without any hesitation.

Inside that hashtag were very disturbing images of death that were caused by unfortunate accidents. It was a spam of bloody and gory images. It was all over her screen and she quickly switched off her phone and dropped it in her lap.

Baekhyun glanced at her and noticed that her breathing has gradually became heavier and heavier, as if she is suffering from a panic attack.

"Are you okay?"he asked as he glanced at the phone on her lap, trying to see what she just saw, but it has been switched off.

"Yeah. I'm fine."she mumbled.

Baekhyun glanced down at her hands that were shaking nervously before returning his attention back to the road. Once his car was driving on the safe and easy lane, he glanced at her once again to see tears streaming down her face. If he wanted to fool himself, he will just assume that that is just sweat. But he knew for sure that those are tears even though her eyes were covered by the sunglasses.

He swallowed an invisible lump that was about to come up his throat due to not knowing what to do in this kind of situation. He felt uncomfortable seeing a girl cry beside him, yet he doesn't know what to do in a situation like this.

"Are...you nervous because of this date?"he asked her after a few debates with himself about whether he should break the silence.

"A bit."she said and faced him, when he looked at her, she quickly forced a smile on her face, which Baekhyun could instantly make out that it is fake.

"Drink some water."he said as his hand reached behind his car seat to grab a bottle of water bottle. "Untouched."he said as he handed it to her.

"Thanks."
