"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Baekhyun asks when he comes out of the bathroom, drying his hair with a towel.

Taeyeon blushes at the sight of his naked torso, still not used to having him in her house every morning.

These days, she needed him by her side more than usual. She would be sitting alone and start crying, not knowing why. But him being next to her helped her to stay distracted, away from her current problems.

So that night when her doorbell rang, him standing outside her apartment, in his hand a duffel bag full of clothes, enough for him to wear during the whole week, she opened the door without hesitation, cause she knew he knew how much she was in need of his support.

Today's the day, the day where she is supposed to meet Baek Bonghan, and break off the engagement. Taeyeon has talked to his secretary a few days ago, this last only replying yesterday at night, informing her that her boss is free to meet her the next day's morning, which is today.

Taeyeon shakes her head, applying some more perfume before she stands up, facing Baekhyun. "It's alright, I can take care of it myself."

He puts his hands on both sides of her neck, questioning "Are you sure?" Then after she nods, he leans his face down, deposing a kiss on her forehead.

"Can't you stay a bit more?" He pouts, caressing her hair.

She lets out a childish chuckle, meeting his eyes with a cocky smile on her lips. "Why do you want me to stay?"

"I don't know." Baekhyun muses,mirroring the smile she had on her face. "Maybe do something."

"Something like what?"

He smirks, "Aren't you asking too much questions for your own safety?"

Taeyeon furrows her brows, knowing what he means but still afraid she might end misunderstanding him. So she rethinks it again and again, trying to see it from a another perspective, before pondering about what to say next.

A kiss on her neck drags her out of her trance, and she stares startled at Baekhyun, the spot he kissed still warm and surrounded by tingles.

Eventually, she clears her throat, breaking her gaze away from his eyes and averting it to the ground, trying to hide the little embarrassment that was starting to display itself on her cheeks.

"I gotta go, I will be late." Taeyeon says and turns around, only to be held back by Baekhyun's hand which pulls her back to him.

He leans his head down, his lips meeting hers in a swift move, and she closes her eyes, enjoying every bit of the kiss before breaking away from it. "I'm really going to be late this time."

They both chuckle as he nods, his thumb grazing the skin of her cheek. Taeyeon stands on the tip of her toes, pecking his cheek, leaving him as taken aback as she was when he kissed her neck.

She ignores it and turns around, getting out of the room and smiling when she hears him say "Don't be late." from behind her.

Taeyeon ignores all the people glancing in her way as she takes a seat in the corner of the cafe,putting her purse aside as she takes out her phone, checking her social media accounts.

Thankfully, the attention her dating news were getting has came to die down, all of the k-netz no longer being as hateful as they were in the beginning.

"Miss Kim Taeyeon?" A manly voice muses near her, and she lifts her head, her eyes the face of a man in his mid-twenties.

"Yes, it's me." Taeyeon answers with a small smile, checking him out before saying in a polite manner, "Can I ask who you are?"
