it is putting your name above my heart.

Baekhyun lifts his head up, bangs falling in front of his eyes like a pink waterfall. He shakes his hair and stands up, cookie lifts his head up looking at Baekhyun already missing the warmth he had once he was laying down.

A small pout is made onto Baekhyun's lips as he remembers the dream he had, only wishing he could go back into it. He looks at his clock and reads the time.

8:35.

He's up fairly early today.

He walks to his bathroom, deciding to just take a quick shower and head downstairs to make himself breakfast and maybe go out for a walk with Cookie.

Baekhyun walks into his bathroom and turns on the shower, he goes to do his business before undressing and getting into the shower to feel the warm water that awaits him.

"Ah, Baekhyun honey. You're awake early." Mrs. Byun holds a steaming hot mug of coffee in her hand, the lights are off in the kitchen and the natural light of the sun is the only thing lighting up the room.

"I know, I just felt like getting up."

"that's a surprise."

Baekhyun only laughs softly to himself, but it could barely count as a laugh.

He opens the fridge, he didn't feel as hungry as he usually did any other time, so he decided to eat something light. He simply grabs a tub of yogurt. He grabs some strawberries and closes the fridge going to the cupboard to grab a bag of granola.

Setting everything down on the counter, he grabs a spoon and a bowel.

His mother quietly observes from the far, taking small sips of her coffee "I see somebody's trying to be healthy."

Baekhyun just hums in response, "I'm trying to watch my figure." He loosely jokes. But Mrs. Byun knows he was somewhat serious.

"You have any plans for today?" She asks, shifting in her seat slightly.

"not really, I'm just gonna give Cookie a walk and then I'll see from there, I guess."

"You know, you could talk to that boy next door. Sehun told me you've taken a fancy to him."

Baekhyun almost spills all the granola over the counter.

"How do you know that? And why are you talking to Sehun??" His mother chuckles.

"It really wasn't a surprise, it just answered my question as to why you miss out on dinner a few times."

Baekhyun picks with the end of the flannel shirt he was wearing, "I mean I'm... I don't exactly like him I just-"

"Sweetie it's fine."

Baekhyun lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding.

"Crushes are cute and sweet, but relationships are better. And I'd bet he would really enjoy talking to you ya know?" She takes another sip of her coffee, "not trying to rush you, but it's just a thought to hold onto."

Baekhyun nods, "I know."

After his short breakfast and his mother's words still vibrating in his mind loudly, he goes to grab Cookie's leash the dog now sitting below his legs, tail wagging at a constant speed. Baekhyun bends down clipping the leather leash onto the collar that was around his dogs neck.

Unlocking the door he lets Cookie walk in front of him on the way out, the soft breeze of the wind engulfing him into a sweet hug, Baekhyun hums in delight at the feeling on his skin. He looks up to the sky and looks up at the sun, eyes squinting slightly at the brightness. But he looks on nonetheless.
