The Player // Baekhyun's FF [EN]

23. Giving up

~~~ EXO - Tender love ~~~

"You didn't have to come and pick me up, this will only drag the attention of everyone to us..." she was complaining, as Baekhyun was standing behind her, pushing the wheelchair, she was sitting in, mumbling for herself, how pointless this is. But Baekhyun didn't want to hear anything and sat her down, making sure, she is comfortable and taking her now back home.

"Those everyone you are talking about, already know you are in this hospital, waiting for you to be discharged. They will want to see, how caring boyfriend I am, plus I told you I'm not leaving you alone ever again, so deal with it," he told her calmly and smoothly wheeled her inside the elevator. She tilted her head backwards, to catch a glance of him. He looked so good, even upside down.

"So how should I act? Like a vulnerable damsel in distress or look all tough, nothing can beat me like way?" she asked him with hint of sarcasm in her voice. He glanced down at her with twitching lips. He looked like he is thinking about something and then he simply bent down and placed a simple warm kiss on her forehead, brushing his nose over hers. She gasped for the air, positioning her head back to the original place, trying to gain her posture back. She dag fingers into the arm resters of the wheelchair, listening to his pleased laughter.

"Just be natural," he added up.

They had a hard time, getting into the van waiting for them outside of the hospital building. Baekhyun allowed her to get of her seat, just before the van and helped her inside, while the people with cameras and many questions, were trying to get some kind of statement from them.

They were on the way to her dorms, she was completely okay, only with the aspirin, in case her head starts to hurt again. Everything came back to its place, including her boyfriend.

Who likes her back...

She still couldn't get used the fact, but hearing it from his own mouth, was more than clear, she didn't make that up, plus he made sure to tell her few more times, after he hugged her tightly yesterday. They didn't talk about it really, she was too shocked and he was happy to have her in his arms, without her protesting.

And still, she found it hard to believe, her sudden situation is real. Did she only needed to get hurt, to make him realize, he returns her feelings? Was she blessed when she clumsily tripped over the damned brick?

But then, she remembered the words, she pretended not to hear in a first place. She didn't allow herself to think about it. Not yet. She wanted to feel good and blissful for at least day, until they slip back to their usual schedules and she will have plenty of time to think about what he said.

"We are here, Dee," she heard Baekhyun talking to her, making her snap out of her thoughts, which were getting heavier. She glanced out of the car window, seeing that they are definitely not there yet.

"Why are we by the boys dormitories?" she turned her gaze at his face, as he was sitting right next to her.

"Because I thought, it would be good idea, to have some time alone. I kicked everyone out," he gave her slight smirk, while she was falling into the shock. What the hell did he just say? He opened the door of the car and jumped out, stretching his arm to help her out like a gentleman. She kept gaping at him for too long, because he stepped in again, to take her hand himself and pull her out, because it looked like she is not able to operate on her own now.

She didn't say a single word all the way inside the building and in the lift, not even when he dragged her inside of their apartment, standing there all awkwardly, while he was taking off his shoes and putting on his slippers.
