005

Taeyeon runs through the halls of the company in high heels, her hands clutching the fabric of her dress. She stops at the secretary's desk, panting.

Taeyeon doesn't know why she came to the company, she just followed her feelings and believed that she will find him here -even if when she saw him last time he was standing in front of his apartment door.

"Is he inside?" She questions the secretary -who glances at Taeyeon as if she is covered in dirt. "Yes," The secretary starts and without letting her continue, Taeyeon turns around, walking to the office.

"But he doesn't want to see anyone." Taeyeon hears the secretary say, along with her quick footsteps that keep getting closer,meaning that she is following her.

Nevertheless, she pushes the door open and gets in. Baekhyun is sitting at the desk, his eyes on his phone's screen. He lifts his gaze to look at her, knitting his eyebrows. "Taeyeon?"

"I'm sorry sir, I tried to stop her." The secretary apologizes, standing behind Taeyeon, who doesn't even turn around to look at her.

Baekhyun nods and motions for her to go,and she does as he said, closing the door as she leaves. He stands up, asking "How was the wedding?"

"Great."Taeyeon replies, stepping to the couches in front of his desk and sitting on one of them.

"Are you fine? Do you need to drink something?" Baek questions, worriedly glancing at her as he sits in front of her.

She shakes her head, replying "I'm alright." A comfortable silence follows, one that Taeyeon wishes to break and wishes to keep at the same time.

"I was just thinking about you." He speaks, his eyes widening after processing what he said. "No I mean I was thinking about your upcoming album." He corrects.

Taeyeon laughs at him under her breath, adding, "That's why I came actually."

"Why? Do you have something in mind?" She nods, thinking about how to start it.

"Do you know how I sang about looking for something new in my last title song?"

"Yes, what about it?"

"Well I was thinking, that we should change the type of songs I sing, feature new artists and break some rules."

Baekhyun stares at her and she first thinks that he's thinking about what to say, but when it lasts longer she finds herself blushing and lowering her gaze. "I-I guess I should go, it's late." She stands up, her hand around her purse and starts stepping away. "You can take your time in making the decision."

As soon as Taeyeon reaches the door and starts struggling to pull it, an arm blocks her from doing it. Biting her lips, she looks at the side, and Baekhyun leans down next to her ear.

"It's near midnight, do you think I will let you go alone?" He says in a low voice that only her hears, and she shakes her head, taking a few steps back. Baekhyun removes his hand from the door, picks keys from on top of the small table next to him and clutches his hand around the handle, pulling it towards him.
