Hey Yeol,

I'm gonna wait for you in front of the classroom of your last period and and I have a surprise for you!

-Baekhyun

Again a letter on my desk. I was wondering what he prepared for me. Some time passed since our last 'date' and that means that the time for this relationship also will end some time. I don't know what to think of that, to be honest. I don't really mind having him around. We don't do things that people in a relationship do, we are like friends. And I have to admit that we really get along well. But everything starts at zero and can grow endlessly, right?

-

"Hey Yeollie!", I heard Baekhyun say as soon as I went out of the classroom. "Hi.", I greeted back. He smiled at me and grabbed my hand. He started to walk. Some people were staring at us, but many people already now that we are in a relationship and rumors are spreading quickly. I think they were surprised, because I never had a connection to Baekhyun before he asked me out.

When we were outside of the school building he pulled something out of his bag. It was a blindfold. "Sooo... You have to wear this, because it's a surprise where we are going.", he said and grinned at me awkwardly. I just nodded and let him put the blindfold on my eyes.

-

"You can open your eyes soon. But don't expect too much, it's not much. I just wanted to spend some time with you.", he said while dragging me along. "We always spend time together in school.", I mumbled. "I want to spend more time with you. As long as I can.", Baekhyun whispered the last part, so I didn't hear it. "Isn't it boring to just always sit beside me and do nothing?", I asked suddenly. I quickly shut my mouth with my hand after I said those words. He could think that I believe it's boring with him when I say something like that. "It's okay, Yeol. I know you don't mean it like that.", he said softly while we were still walking. His voice sounds even softer than it already does when I can't see anything. "And actually, no. Of course I'd like to do more, much more with you, but I forced you to start this relationship. I don't want you to feel awkward. As long as you feel comfortable, it's enough for me to just sit beside you.", he explained quietly, but loud enough for me to hear. "You know... I don't feel awkward around you. I actually like it.", I whispered, so quietly that he might not hear. But he heard it. "Thank you. That makes me really happy.", even if the blindfold was still stealing my sight, I could feel that Baekhyun was smiling. And that made me really happy. Can't I always be by his side and make him happy?

-

"Okay! We're here! You can take your blindfold off now!", Baekhyun said and stopped. He took my blindfold off before I could. At first I slowly looked at Baekhyun and then at what was in front of me.

There was a little picnic prepared in front of us. A warm feeling was in my chest and I didn't know what to say. I opened my mouth, wanted to say something, but not one sound came out.

After a while of just standing there, I just turned around and hugged him.

I hugged him, holding him tight.

"Thank you. Really.", I whispered in his ear.

He didn't move in the beginning. I could feel that he was surprised.

Why did I hug him? I don't know. I just felt like it was better than any word I could use to say thank you.

After some seconds of realizing, he hugged me back. He held me close and we remained like this. Seconds, minutes, I don't know. I felt free, with him in my arms.

-

When we ended the hug, we just sat there, next to each other, ate, and then lied down. We observed our surroundings until it got dark and enjoyed the atmosphere, together.

After Baekhyun saying it out loud, I realized it, too.

His presence,

him next to me,

is enough for me.
