That Scene | 백헤라

Chapter 3: Car Chat

Z.Hera's POV
I turned my face to see his, but my eyes widened when I saw his eyes looking at mine intensely... Byun Baekhyun, the guy that's going to be my first kiss. I furrowed my brows at him, hiding the fact that I'm blushing.

He then turn his gaze at the way he's driving, and looks like he's confused, and suddenly... is his face red? Nah, maybe not. I mean, why would he even be? He focused on the way he's driving, and I smiled. "Thank you again for earlier." I thanked him again. I saw him smile. "I think that's the tenth time you said that." He said and chuckled. I just rubbed my nape. "Anyway Baekhyun-op--" Oppa. Why can't I just call him that? The answer... I don't know. It just feels like my voice doesn't suit that line.

Still looking at the road, he said "Oppa, is that what you're trying to say?" He asked me. My eyes were wide by what he said. Was I too obvious? Stupid question Hera. Oh my god. This is so embarrassing. I just keep my mouth shut as I feel myself blushing again. I pass my gaze from him to the window. Why am I even blushing? Aish! Kill me now. I heard him laugh a little bit, and now I'm back here in the awkward area again. "What's wrong with calling me oppa... Hera-yah? Since you're younger, just call me that." He said and chuckled. So he's having fun seeing me like this? (Ooh, He does.) I silently sighed. What's happening to me? Get yourself together Ji Hyeran.

And... did he just call me in banmal? (informal form of speech in Korea)

I just heard him sigh and "Your answer?" He asked, and he's serious. "It's just that-" I begin and turn my face to him, but then I saw his eyes looking at me, causing me to stop saying anything and my eyes wide. What's wrong with me? I broke our eye contact, and I can still feel his eyes on me. "It's just that I don't... feel like it-it... it would be nice t-to--" He cuts me. "If you're going to answer, make it clear." He said, and I look at him through the window, his reflection. I hate moments like this. I inhaled before saying "I just don't feel like it... it would be nice to call you that." I answered, that's true but rubbish. I know.

"Waeyo?" He asked. (and he's smirking.) I just keep myself silent for the time being and continue to face myself on the window again. Then I heard him laugh softly. "Arasso. I'll stop, but I would like for you to call me oppa." He said.  "You know what, you're cute when you're shy." He said and made my eyes wide.

Baekhyun's POV
"You know what, you're cute when you're shy."... I gasped after realizing what I had said, but thankfully it was a silent one. Why did I say that? I was not planning to tell her that. Why would I even plan on humiliating myself? Then I heard her say "What?" She asked, now looking at me... AND I'M PANICKING! "Uhmm, uhmm... Where did you say your house was?" I changed the topic, and I know it's so obvious. Oh god please save me. She is still looking at me, asking me with her eyes, not until she clicks the tablet in her car, and say "Here." I silently heaved a sigh of relief.

The tablet has shown where to go, as well as the pic of the apartment-condo that she is living at.

I look at it. Hmm, It's just here in Seoul, so it would be no time to get there.

The whole ride was just silent. I was already parking the car on the parking lot, and when it was already parked, I remove my seatbelt and check the time with the clock on the tablet, 11:38pm. "Oh my, it's so late." I said and look at the girl sitting beside me, asleep. I smiled. "How can you sleep? Are you used to being awkward?... Hera-yah?" I asked and gently smiled. You know, I feel good calling a persron without formalities. It just feels like I'm taking our relationship to another level.

Not to that level, okay?? I mean, being friends instead of a sunbae-hoobae relationship.

So how can I put her in her room?

---

Carrying Hera bridal style, I'm here in front of the frontdesk of the building of her condominuim. I'm wearing a dark sunglass and a facemask for disguise. "Where is the room of Ji Hera-ssi?" I asked one of the frontdesk lady. The lady would not recognize me as of my disguise. I got a lot of facemasks inside my bag. 'Always be ready' they say. "Who are you to Hera-ssi?" She asked professionally. I told you I wouldn't get recognized... But what's her question?

Oh no. Why does she have to ask this? I can't say I'm her friend, I'm sure she wont give me Hera's room. And it's not like Hera's just some normal girl. I mean, look at this place. This isn't a cheap home... I can say that I'm her boyfriend but- BUT WHAT?! That's ridiculous Byun Baekhyun, what are you thinking?!

It would just be a one time thing though. Yup, what's wrong with that, right? Sighing, "I'm her boy-" I was cut when the frontdesk lady said "Is that Hera-ssi?" She asked. My eyes were wide by her interruption- I mean, sudden question. " What?... Ah, Ne." I answered. Oh, Thank goodness she did that. She smiled. "Oh I'm sorry. Here's the access card to her room." She said, giving me a card. "Thank you." I thanked, taking the card with struggle. I can't move that easy with a woman in my arms.

The card has her floor and room number, so that's where we're going.

---

Now I'm in front of Hera's room. I opened it but it's hard to. Carrying her with my two arms while sliding a card to her door is hard, but I still managed to open it. I walk inside it, feeling my arms tired. I'm not blaming her for it, it has been long since I gone to a gym, oh well. I then remove my facemask and my sunglasses with a hand. Her apartment looks nice. It's not that fancy nor elegant. It's modern and at the same time, cozy. The colors; white, black, and grey are the ones filling the room, except of the colors of the paintings, pictures, and other interior designs. I saw an open door, and I guess that's her bedroom by the furnitures inside it. I walk to her bedroom. "Oh, This girl is in her deep sleep." I said.

I put her in her bed... but I mistakenly slip. Shit! "Oh woah!" I closed my eyes, and the last thing I know is that I am on top of her. I opened my eyes and see her face scrunching. Oh shit, don't tell me she's awake. No, no, no. But too late. She has her wide-open eyes on me... And I gulp as I felt my zipper blowing up. Fuck hormones. This whole situation made my face red. I gulped, and tried to not move my gaze anywhere... but with her hair messy, her cheeks tinted pink, her naturally pink lips, my gaze continue travelling down her neck... STOP! I get away from her body, from the bed. "Mianhe, I slipped." I apologized and bowed to her. I continue as I raise my head. "Don't misunderstand anything, it was an accident." I said the truth. A blush creeping on my cheeks.

She sat up on her bed "I'mnotsayinganything! R-Relax." She said, stuttering but still comforting me. I awkwardly smiled. I can't straightly smile after what happened, after what's happening."Hera, I should go now! Annyeong." I said my last words to her as I quickly walk out of her bedroom, shutting the bedroom door.

Now that I'm in her living room, my breathing got back to normal. I'll contact driver-hyung to fetch me. I searched my pants' pocket, then the other pocket. Where's my phone?... Don't tell me I left it in her car. Aish.. It is in her car, and her car key is in her room. I don't wan't to disturb her from her sleep... and I don't think I can look at her eyes or just her right now, I just can't. Aish, and it's also late. No choice... I put my gaze on her sofa and sighed.
