"Look to the front, then the side with your arm elegantly moving up and down, then kick forward and turn." Jongin instructs and Taeyeon does as he says, her legs beginning to hurt.

She is currently in the practice room, learning the choreography to her new title track as the comeback date was three weeks away from now. The album recording is already done, and they decided in a short span of time which songs will get the spotlight during the promotions.

"Good." Jongin sighs, his hands on his sides. He is also a young talent her company has just recruited and she insisted on working with him when she saw the dance he choreographed for her juniors. "Let's call it a day, we are going faster than expected."

Taeyeon nods, smiling at him as he bows to her and leaves the room. But just seconds after, exactly when she sits on the ground and opens the bottle of water to drink, the door is kicked open and Baekhyun gets inside the room.

She hardly gulps the water in her mouth, remembering what happened yesterday and realizing that she doesn't have a single idea on how to act around him now.

As he makes his way through the room, she takes her time to prepare herself and take some deep breaths while checking him out. He's wearing tight ripped jeans, black vans and a white sweater.

"Hey." Baekhyun greets, sitting on the ground next to her.

"Hi." Taeyeon nervously replies and the kissing scene replays in her mind, the feelings and the sensations coming back to her for a brief moment, which makes her blush a little bit.

"You left so abruptly yesterday." He states and she nods at his words, knowing that he is fully right. Yesterday, as soon as they pulled away from the kiss and he backed away to let her breathe a little bit, she quickly opened the door, running as fast as she could to her apartment.

It was her first kiss, so she can't be blamed. Instead, all the blame should be directed to fate.

"I know." Taeyeon whispers, doing everything to keep avoiding his gaze -and by everything, she means: looking to the side and letting her hair fall next to her cheek, serving her as a curtain to shield her from his sight.

"Why?" Baekhyun questions from behind her hair-curtain. And even if she can't see him, she can imagine his cute raise of eye brow. "Did I do something wrong?"

"Baek," She turns her body around and gasps when she notices how close he is to her, which makes her unconsciously put a hand against his chest out of surprise, slightly distancing herself from him to be able to glance at his face. "It's none of your fault."

"I was just-" Taeyeon's pauses, searching for the right word. "Too overwhelmed."

A soft chuckle comes from Baekhyun and she smiles through her flushed cheeks when she hears it. But she blushes even more when she feels his hand on the side of his neck and he pulls her to him, deposing another kiss on her lips.

Her surprise fades away when she starts kissing him back, and those feelings that overwhelmed her yesterday come back to her, leaving her wrapped in a whole lot of emotions.

"You're not going to run now, right?" Baekhyun says when they both breathlessly pull out of the kiss, and Taeyeon giggles against his palm, her lips still tingling as she shakes her head.

His thumb grazes the skin of her neck, leaving tingles behind, as his eyes lovingly and admiringly stare at her. Taeyeon holds a breath at the sight of it; it's the first time someone -besides her fans- looks at her like that.
