I've Never Dreamed

Part 56

Baekhyun's staring at me while I stare at him. Did he hear everything Jin said?

"I came to see what was taking you so long, now I know." He narrows his eyes down on me, and I shake my head.

"No Baekhyun. It's not what you're thinking. Mark was-" His teeth click at the mention of Mark. "Uh...Jin showed-" He cuts me off.

"I know Mei. I heard everything. Yet why didn't you just leave when you saw Jin?" Baekhyun looks a bit mad, and I don't know how to respond.

I start to talk, but then stop. I'm not even sure why I didn't just leave the room in the first place. 

"See. You can't answer that can you?" His stare gets more intense, and my eyebrows go inward, confused with his words.

"Baekhyun. I have no feelings for Jin once so ever. I love you." I smile and go to cuff his face in my hands, afraid of what he's going to say. He moves his head back causing my heart to drop. My mini smile is gone, and now I just want to cry.

"Jin was right. I can't be with you Mei. I will rarely ever have time to spend with you, I won't be able to kiss you ever morning as I've dreamed, and EXO as a group will get hate and that's the last thing I want to happen. I love you, but-" I stop him. I can't bare his words.

"So you're braking up with me?" I shift my eyes to my feet ready for anything.

"Yes. Mei Li, I'm braking up with you." I'm sorry Mei...

*Mei exhales hard, and walks past Baekhyun quickly. Being careful to not touch him and trigger any emotion. Her heart is torn and her breath is starting to get heavy. Mei dials Jiao's number and clicks call immediately as she walks out of the hall doors. She then looks up and around at the walls*

There! A bathroom sign. I quickly walk to the bathroom trying not to cause a scene. Every time I breathe out, my eye sight gets blurry and then goes back to normal as I inhale. 

"Yes Mei? Where did you, Baekhyun, and Mark head off to?"  I notice she just got done laughing.

"Bring me my medicine in the bathroom please...and hurry" I look at my self in the mirror until I can't see my body or hear my own heavy breaths.

*Mei's foot slips from under her and she looses her balance, having to catch her self with the sink.
She then slips off the sink and slowly falls to the ground. Tears start flowing down her face as she realizes every thing that's happening with in the last 30 minutes*

Baekhyun broke up with me. I'm barely awake, lying on a bathroom floor regretting my life choices.

Why did I ever think I could actually date an idol with out having issues? More tears rush down my face as I remember him. His touch, his breath, his eyes, nose, lips, and everything else about him...stick to me like glue.

*Jiao walks in the bathroom and rushes to Mei, opening her pill bottle and helps sit Mei up*

BAEKHYUN'S POV

-

Mei walks straight pass me after I say my last words. A tear drops from my eye, but I wipe it quickly. It's true, everything I said is true. I can't date Mei. At least not right now. I love her and I don't want her to be hurt, but I have a bad feeling that if we stay together then it'll be worse.

I want to go into that room and punch a hole through Jin's neck. How dare he say all of that shit to her! She must've been so mad when he said that. Her voice got loud like I've never heard before. Although she sounded strong and certain, her voice was raspy and I could tell she took in Jin's harsh words.

*Baekhyun walks toward the hall door, thinking*

And all I did was hurt her more... It's not like I can just go to her hotel and take everything back. I mean, we have to go to SM after this dinner is over.

*He lowers his head before opening the door and enters the dining area. Baekhyun heads back to his seat*

I look over at the seat beside me not seeing Mei, and regret everything.

"Wondering where the girls are I'm assuming." Lay looks at me with his eyebrows raised.

"Uh, yeah..." I go with it.

"Jiao went to the bathroom after Mei. I think something's wrong, but Jiao told me to stay so...i think you should go." Lay says trying to persuade me.

"Into the girl's bathroom? No" I let out a forced laugh.

"It's for your girl Baek!" Kai whines, and my face darkens.

"She's not my girl...anymore" I clench my jaw as I feel everyone's eyes piercing my soul.

"Is that a joke Baekhyun?" Suho asks with his eyes wide open.

"Now why would he be joking about this?" Kai looks at Suho with a retarded Look, but Suho doesn't mind him.

"Baekhyun...what happened." Lay turns his whole body to face me.

"You guys didn't actually think Mei and I would last did you?" I ask surprised by the hate in their eyes. Mei is a perfect girl, but with both of our work schedules together, it just wouldn't work.

"Wow Baekhyun. Never thought I'd ever hear you say that." Sehun leans back in his seat.

"...." I'm surprised I'm saying it.

"I respect you a lot Baekhyun, but what the hell are you thinking?! Mei loves you and you're just going to let her go?" He looks at me like I'm stupid. I process the words 'let her go'  and swallow the lump in my throat. I love Mei and I want her by my side forever, but it just won't work.

"I'm not letting her go Lay, and I most definitely still love her, but it will just be easier this way." I clarify.

*The boys tune in on the crazy conversation, while Suho remembers something*

SUHO'S POV
-

I sit up in my seat thinking. When Mei and I watched that movie together, she mentioned her condition and how when she's in stress or really upset she triggers her illness and she'll get light headed. Possibly fainting.

*With that information, Suho bows to everyone at the table and leaves them. Then heads for the girl's restroom. He looks around, seeing men and women staring at him. Suho takes in a deep breath then opens the door*
