It hasn't started snowing yet, but the air has become a lot chillier compared to a few days ago. Although Baekhyun can walk around, his wound still needed time to recover, since that sharp dagger pierced through his body and out of his back. Taeyeon made sure to let him rest, she served him all three meals to the room although he insisted that he can join the others in the dining room. She made sure that he took the herbs Lay left for him to speed up his recovery.
Taeyeon felt down today. She doesn't feel like doing anything productive, so she stayed in the room with Baekhyun all day. They will chat when Baekhyun isn't taking a rest. When she is bored, she will play with the puppies. Sometimes she will stare out the window, waiting for the first snow to come.
Because she is alone and unbothered by anyone, she had the time to think about her future. She started to think how she can rule a whole planet when she goes back to the castle. There are still two and a half months left, and all she learned is a few survival skills and how to use her superpowers wisely. She was never taught to lead a whole kingdom or rule a planet since nobody aside from Baekhyun knows about her true identity.
The sky started to get darker and she heard Baekhyun shifting in the bed. She looked at him to see him lying on his sides, facing her completely. His eyes were on her, staring intently into her eyes.
"Are you hungry?"she asked him, standing up from the chair and walking towards him. He just shook her head as he slowly reached out to grab her hand that is resting limply at her sides. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion as she stared at him.
"Come sleep."he mumbled, tugging onto her hand. She sighed and nodded before pulling the blanket up and climbing into it. Once she lied down beside him, he pulled the blanket over the both of them. It instantly warmed her body up. His body was so close to her, his warmth radiated on her.
She snuggled into his chest and he let her have more access by letting her head rest on his arm.
And just like that, they fell into a deep slumber together.

"Is Baekhyun okay?"a voice asked the moment Taeyeon exited Baekhyun 's room. It was morning, so she didn't expect to see Chanyeol outside the door.
"Yeah. He's fine."she nodded at him. "Why did you wake up so early?"she asked him.
"I'm going out."he replied.
"Oh. With who?"she asked.
"My friend."he replied. Taeyeon didn't fail to notice that pink blush creeping up his cheeks.
"Ooh...does this friend have a name?"she provoked teasingly.
"Taeyeon. Sorry for saying this. I have moved on."he said.
"It's okay. I'm glad that you have finally found a girl that appreciates you more than me."she said, genuinely happy for Chanyeol. "It's a girl right?"she added to make sure.
"Yep. She's my friend though. We are just going out, she doesn't know that it is a date."he winked at her. "But I like her. I was just confused about my feelings for her before I met you, but after getting rejected, I finally know what my heart wants."he said.
"That's cute. So I can claim the match-maker title then?"she joked.
"Nah. Baekhyun is."he said.
"Why Baekhyun?"she asked.
"He was the one who told me to court you. He supported my admiration towards you."Chanyeol said, grinnning from ear to ear. "But don't worry, now you are like a sister to me."he said.
"H-He told you to court me?"she stuttered as she pointed at herself.
"Yep."Chanyeol smiled, failing to notice Taeyeon's frown.
