Without You

*18*

[Edited]

Busy.

That's the only word that can describe their life now.

"1,2,3,4!2,3,4,5!" Kasper leads the training.

"Baekhyun," He gives a warning.

"Y-yes, sorry." He said as he stucks his eyes on the mirror, trying to catch up the dance.

He somehow feel amazed with his best friend, Kasper who is really professional when it comes to dance. He never cared about his relation with that person in the training time.

"Again," He orders. They repeat the same moves.

"Baekhyun, why did you crossed your legs at Lay's part?" He glances at Baekhyun's reflection. Baekhyun changes his position quickly.

Kasper sighed after a while before walking to the table to turn off the music.

"We will continue tomorrow. Have a well rest and don't overweight yourself." He said. All the members take their belongings.

"Baekhyun, don't be too pressure. Relax yourself. Just improved slowly." He said to him before biding a goodbye.

"Thank you, Kasper!" They wave their hand to him. Baekhyun turns to them.

"You guys go back first, I want to practice a little bit." He said. They nod and pat his back.

"Want me to help?" Yixing asked.

"It's okay, you'll be busy tomorrow." He rejected his offer politely. Yixing smiles, showing his sweet dimples before running, following the others.

Baekhyun stretches his body before turning on the music again.

Again, again and again.

"Urgh, whatever." He laid on the floor, ignoring his sweat all over his face and body.

"Water, water--" He searches for his bottle before realizing that the bottle already empty. He groans in frustration.

The person that has been watching him since two minutes ago shake her head slowly. She looks at her bottle, asking herself if she should offer it to him.

"Screw it." She mumbles as she takes her step in.

"Are you okay?" Taeyeon asked softly.

Baekhyun startled as he sit up immediately. He looks at Taeyeon, freezing as she makes her way towards him.

"I think you need this." She handed him the mineral bottle which is only half left.

Taeyeon realized that he keeps staring at her, which she thought that it is because of the water.

She mentally cursed at herself for not changing her habit, giving her water to her boyfriend.

Boyfriend?

"Ouh, I'm sorry that I offer you my bottle, it's----"

"No, It's okay. Thank you." He cut as he takes the bottle. His finger brushed Taeyeon's hand, which make her look away, trying to hide her nervousness.

"So, this is your comeback song?" She asked, reffering to the song that still played. She actually is trying to let the awkwardness down.

Baekhyun nods as he gulped the water as many as he can.

"Thank you." He said as he stands up and hand the bottle to its owner back.

"You can take it if you want." She said. Baekhyun nods after thinking about it for a minute.

Taeyeon bows slightly at him as she walks away while Baekhyun takes his bag.

Deep inside their heart, they both wishing that the time will stop, leaving them alone.

"Wait," Baekhyun stops her by grabbing her wrist, back to him. She makes a calm face as she turns back, facing him.

"Wh-Where are you going?" Baekhyun asked.

He wants to buy a chocolate drink for her at SumCafe as a change to her water if she is in her way to go home.

"M-me? I-I have to go to the office." She stuttered.

"Ooh, okay." He said in disappointed.

You're lying.

"So, may I go?" She asked. He let go of her wrist slowly. She smiles and step out as Baekhyun stares at her back. She takes her way to the left.

Office is at your right, Kim Taeyeon.

Baekhyun heaved a deep sigh.

You hate me that much?

-

Taeyeon quickly get in her car, knowing that Baekhyun is going out too. She drive, leaving the building.

To be honest, she already met Lee Soo Man before finding Baekhyun laying on the floor.

-Flashback-

"You will have your comeback solo right after EXO." Soo Man said. She was caught off guard when she heard EXO name. But she remained steady.

"The theme?" Taeyeon asked as he handed her new schedule. Her eyes travelling on the paper.

"Really different from 'Rain'. It named 'Why'."

"It'll have a dance?" She widened my eyes, discovering the dance practice in her schedule. He chuckles at her reaction.

"Okay, then." She nods. It is not a matter since she is free this month.

"But--" She stops. He raised his eyebrow, signaling her to continue.

"Is it means I'll promote together with EXO?"

Lee Soo Man eyeing her with sympathy, knowing what was she worried for.

"No. EXO will have goodbye stage a week before your comeback stage. Your promotion is only for a week, since after that you will have your first solo concert." He said. Taeyeon smiles at the thought of her solo concert.

It seems like this month will not be too lonely..

She nods, understand. They bid a goodbye before Taeyeon walks straight on the corridor. She looks over her schedule once again, before she hear one unfamiliar song yet familiar voice.

'She got me, gone crazy,'

She peeks through the practice room door. The familiar figure is now dancing to the song.

Her eyes softened when she realized who is it. When the song reach the chorus, he immediately gave up and lay on the floor.

-End Of Flashback-

Again, the corner of her eyes become red.

She knows him too well.

From his question, she knows what he wanted to do. She did too, spending more time with him too.

Just like 2 years ago.

But how could she? She don't want to damage others life.

Actually when it comes to him.
The person that she loves.

-
Lalallalalallaa..

I don't know what I wrote at all..

Actually, I just heard from my best friend that Taeyeon looks like want to cry when she sang 'Time Lapse' in her latest concert, Persona. That's why I tried to search the lyrics of that song, and it break my heart even more.

She is suffering too much.
