Polar // Byun Baekhyun

Chapter 5: Just us together

I spend the whole night talking with Baek. We shared a bit about ourselves and i got to know him more. He isn't a bad guy, but he sure has made some questionable choices.

Baekhyun has been searching for his soulmate for 3 years now. He wanted to start searching way earlier, but he said he had to be at least legal age to do so. I asked why. He winked and answered me with "You know why" realization hit me, i didn't question him further.

While it was fun listening to him talk about his past lovers, for a few moments, i felt a bit miserable. I never searched for my soulmate.

Why? Because i'm a coward. I'm just too scared to end up like... Other people. Other people that got hurt because of this soulmate thing...

I should stop being sentimental over things that happened in the past. I should focus on the present. Even though it isn't so easy to do so for me.

After that night, he didn't leave me alone for a second the whole first week. He introduced me to the staff, showed me all the rooms in the mansion, taught me all the inside jokes staff members have. I probably didn't look very happy or interested, even though i was. My face just looks that way. I know all girls say that, but hey it's an actual problem for me!

Nevermind, what i'm getting at is that he turned out okay, and now i feel bad for even starting to work here. I don't want to ask him for anything, because he did enough but-

Im.
In.
Need.
For.
Wifi.

What is he thinking, not even giving me wifi password?! Like, how the fuck do i survive in here?

Yeah, yeah him telling me where the toilet, and the other stuff is, is important but let's be real. The whole week has passed, and i already feel like i've gone crazy.

Yes, i had my phone and i could communicate with my friends through text messages. But what about all the important news i've missed? What about my dying meme page? I'm living under a goddamn rock!

As i was sitting in the kitchen and quietly cursing, Baekhyun himself showed up and somehow decoded my mumbling.

"You should've said so, silly" Baek sighed and sat down next to me.

"Didn't i say you could ask me for anything, like a minute ago?" He scolded me, while my eyes hopped from corner to another.

I made an awkward smile and mumbled a quiet apology "Sorry"

"Well, it's alright, it is kind of my fault that i forgot to give you wifi password" baekhyun said as he searched for the password on his phone.

"Haha, it's not like i needed it so much either way!" I tried to hide the fact that i was dying inside all this time, by smiling and intensely lying.

"Soo, you don't need it? I mean the internet connection is already weak from all the-"

"NO, I WAS LYING, I NEED IT" I cut him off, before he could finish his sentence.

"Thought so" Baekhyun laughed teasingly, and finally proceeded to give me the password.

"Thank you, you're the real MVP Baekhyun!" I shouted, and was about to run off, but Baek caught me by the back of my collar.

"Thank you won't do" i raised my head to see Baekhyun smirking wickedly. He gestured me to sit down.

"Can ya help me text her?" Baekhyun asks as he sits next to me.

"Lorris again?" I sigh.

Oh yeah, i forgot to mention that after that night, i became Baekhyun's love counsellor, so when baek needs advice on what to text, he comes to bother me.

I once again scan his messeges.

"Oh, GODD, how did you even get her to sleep with you?!" I stand up and yell as i slightly hit Baekhyun's head with his own phone.

Baekhyun grabs me by my arm and twists me into his lap "If im so hopeless, teach me not to be"

I get nervous for a moment, but mentally hit my head and continue to make fun of him "You're lucky im here, Romeo" i stand up from his lap and start my lecture "Okay, so you probably already know the famous push and pull technique-"

"???The what???" Baekhyun looks at me confused "Could you repeat that?"

"No, there's no way im going to repeat that cringy sentence" I wait a bit and continue "You...You really don't know what push and pull is?"

"No"

"The name speaks for itself, you just push and pull"

"Wow, everything is so clear now, thank you Jieun" Baekhyun thanks me in a sarcastic tone, buries his face in his hands and growls.

"Good for you, you've been acting distant for a long time" i start lecturing him again while calmly putting my hand on his head "so you can now skip the 'push' step and move straight to 'pull' "

Baekhyun moves his head slightly, probably enjoying my hand on top of it. "How do i 'pull' then?" He mumbles quietly.

"You should act more affectionate, apologise properly, maybe buy her some flowers"

"Are you sure that how it all works?" Baekhyun asks, while slowly lifting and tilting his head.

"Well i'm no professional relationship counsellor, i've never even been in one, i just know those things from tv dramas i watched as a kid" i say as i watch how Baekhyun's expressions change in the middle of my sentence. He looks quite surprised with his eyes wide open.

"I'm listening to you even though you've never been in a relationship?"

Well bitch, i'm sorry that i have multiple emotional traumas, that caused me to close myself from all human contact and-

"I can see that you're overthinking and probably cursing me, i didn't mean to insult you dummy" Baekhyun once again lowkey reads my mind like a superhuman he is.

"Okay man, stop reading my mind" i start searching for a tinfoil that i know is somewhere in the kitchen drawers. Baekhyun looks at me completely confused until i pull out tinfoil, make a hat out of it, and put it on my head. He breaks down laughing as i start mumbling "Get away from me, you filthy mind reader"

While this amazing scene is happening, Baekhyun's loud laugh attracts visitors from the other room. As i'm mumbling my nonsense, Baekhyun's mother comes into the kitchen.

"What's happening here?" Baekhyun's mother asks strictly and i gulp. Oh god, how do i explain all this.
