Too Perfect [Baekhyun] for @HCLandsteiner

"Baekhyun-ah," Hyun Ae murmured sleepily, hugging the cute panda stuffed toy he had given her for your birthday.

"Yes? Gosh, it's boring. And you call this a sleepover?" Her best friend, Byun Baekhyun answered before brushing her bangs aside and realising that she was fast asleep. It took all his effort to prevent himself from leaning over and kissing her on the cheek. He was afraid that confessing would ruin the friendship, and why ruin it when he already had the chance to see pretty smiles everyday?

His heart palpitated as it dawned on him that she was murmuring his name in her sleep. 

"Hyun Ae ah, I like you," He mindlessly uttered, knowing in his heart that she wouldn't hear him, not even a single decibel could be processed by her mind.

"I liked you way before we met, actually. I just wanted to keep a low profile and not get noticed, you know what I mean? But I don't regret making friends with you. It was the best change in  my entire lifetime and seeing your smile everyday, it's as if we were a couple. Shopkeepers mistake us as a couple, but you would always shake your head shyly and say that we're just friends. So, let's just stay that way, okay? I don't want to hurt you..." He poured out the feelings cooped up inside him for years, hoping that she wouldn't hear him.

Against his will, Hyun Ae stirred. She stretched and sat up gradually, blinking her eyes which were full of sleep. Seeing Baekhyun beside her, she flushed slightly and said, "Baekhyun ah! Why are you still awake? You should take some rest."

Before Baekhyun could reply, she continued, "I'm sorry you had to see me in this state. My hair is usually very messy."

He thought she was just perfect. Her hair, messy? Nonsense. Her silky strands were separated into two thin ponytails, her light brown locks in great contrast with her tee shirt in a byzantium shade. Whether it was out of hormones, or out of his immense love for her, Baekhyun pulled her closer to him, their faces barely eight centimeters apart. 

Taking a deep breath, he closed the gap, making his nose and hers touch ever so slightly. He could barely bring himself to look in Hyun Ae's chocolate orbs, he was too hypnotized by her beauty to even think properly. She emitted an adorable yelp of shock as her red spread across her cheeks like butter being spread on toast.

 "Don't you ever say that again," He said in a low tone, snaking his arms around her waist, hugging her tight, "You're too perfect."

The tension grew as their noses remained in contact. He gained the courage to look her in the eye, her soft gaze melting him slowly. Her nose twitched in nervousness, making her seem all the more endearing to him. "Saranghae, Byun Baekhyun," She stuttered slightly, her warm breath mingling with Baekhyun's own.

"Ahh~" Baekhyun laid back onto his sleeping bag, "A guy is supposed to confess first! I'm manly~"

"You're just like the guy called Luhan in your band, always telling me that you're manly when you're full of aegyo! Kyeopta~" She chuckled, ruffling his hair affectionately.

"Hyun Ae ah, I'm not cute," He protested, as she hugged him from behind, cutting him in mid sentence. His eyes softened, his heart sped up as he whipped around, returning the hug, giving her a peck on her forehead.

"I'm not cute," He repeated for emphasis as he let her lie down on his lap, "And you're too perfect."

 That night, when a shooting star streaked across the night sky, a yellow beam against a mixture of prussian and midnight blue, two people, hands intertwined, started to believe in forevers.

It's so short ;-; Even if I'm emotionally attached to Byun Baekhyun, I don't know why I couldn't write as much as I wanted to. Mianhae, @HCLandsteiner! :(

LOOK INTO YOUR EYES, BUTTER BUTTERFLIES. 

And I might update Underdog by today.
