30 Days with You [ChanBaek]✔️

CHAPTER 6

Just like what the list said, I always fetch him back-and-forth from his home to school after class. I’m not doing it because of the death threats, I’m doing it because I want to savor every minute with him. Because, after a long time, I’m finally happy.

“I have something to give you,” I said, we are now in front of his house but we stopped in front of their gate to talk.

“What is it?” I took the rilakkuma stuffed toy from my bag and gave it to him. When he saw this, his eyes sparkled.

“Here is your rilakkuma from the toy catcher, I just remembered to give it to you.”

“Uwaaaa! It’s so cute, Yeol! You really caught him!” he’s jumping up and down happily while hugging the toy and maybe because of happiness why he suddenly tiptoed and kissed me on my cheek.

“Thank you, Yeol!” I stared at him for a while, he was all smiley and he was blushing. I looked away and bowed my head, hiding my warm cheeks. It’s normal for me to be kissed on the cheeks from my past lovers, but that simple kiss on the cheek made my heart explode in different emotions! Damn, I can’t stand still during that time! I can’t stop my cheeks from warming until I heard him squealing,

“What are you smiling at?” I asked him shyly.

He kept on smiling at me while still hugging the stuffed toy, “You’re cute when you blushed!” he exclaimed.

I hid my face and said, “I’m not cute, I’m handsome!”

“Che!” we just laughed. We are about to say goodbye so he can finally go inside when I remembered something I have to ask him.

“Why 30 days? What’s so special about the 30 days?” that question has been in my head for a while now, because why 30 days? It can be 2 months, or 2 weeks or even 1 year!

“Do you remember what I wrote on the list, about the roses?” instead of answering my question, he also asked me.

“Huh?”

“It says there that, to give me 3 red roses that doesn’t withered. Not the plastic ones.”

“oh?”

“If you can give me that, I’ll tell you why I asked for you for 30 days,” after he said that, he turned his back on me, waved and went inside their house.

I furrowed my eyebrows from thinking where I can find 3 roses that doesn’t wither and it must not be plastic? What kind of rose is it?

I thought about it all night. I felt my brain breaking in half in thinking but nothing came up. He doesn’t want a plastic one, when I asked him if it can be a paper rose or candle, he said no. My head aches from thinking.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Weekend is finally here and I decided to go out to search for 3 roses that doesn’t wither to give to him. While walking near the park, I passed by a coffee shop, the cakes caught my attention. I noticed the roses that was on the chocolate cake, when I went near it to see it better, It was candied-roses, and there are three of them. I was so happy because I finally found the 3 roses that doesn’t wither and it’s neither plastic, paper nor a candle but it is a sweet candy!

I immediately texted him and told him to come to coffee shop named KIMs' Café. (A/N: We already know the owners 😉 XiuChen!!!) While waiting for him, I went inside the shop and ordered the cake. Then I sat down near the window so that I can see him immediately when he arrived. I was looking down on my cellphone and was laughing on his texts, he said that he’s on his way. Such a liar, I’m sure he just took a bath just now.

“Chanyeol?” my smile disappeared and looked up when someone called my name, that voice is very familiar to me, “Park Chanyeol?”

“D-Dara?” my jaw dropped when I saw her. It’s been so long since I last saw my first love and the reason why I become the way I am now. She sat down infront of me and placed her coffee on the table, I still can’t get over from the shock.

“W-what happened to you?” that’s the only thing I ask of her, she looked like a total wrecked. Her hair is everywhere, her makeup is ruined like she cried because her mascara reached her cheeks. Her eye bags is large and she’s still in her pajamas. She’s far away from the Dara I once knew that is beautiful, know how to dress properly and elegant.

She smiled bitterly at me. She stirs her coffee with a spoon before she answered me, “Karma paid me a visit.”

“Huh?”

“I’m drinking coffee right now to get rid of the hangover, I drank by myself last night until 3 am in the morning. My head’s still throbbing until now.”

“What happened?”

“Long story short, I truly fell inlove for the first time and because of karma, the one I truly loved also cheated on me. He got me pregnant and left me. Hah, what a jerk.”

I didn’t say anything, I don’t know what to say to her. I haven’t seen her for a long time and now that I did out of the blue, I have nothing to say.

“You must be glad on what happened to me.”

“Huh?” I don’t understand what she’s saying.

“C’mon, you’re probably saying inside your head that I deserve what happened to me.”

“W-why should I---”

“Chanyeol, I fooled you, I made you wait and hope for nothing. I totally broke your heart so I’m sure you’re bearing a grudge on me. I’m sure you’re already happy seeing me like this now. Now that I finally met my karma.”

“That’s not true, Dara. Yes, I was really hurt for what you did, but that’s already in the past. I’m not mad at you and most especially not happy on what happened to you now,” I said worryingly. She cried when I said that, and I don’t know what to do. I thought I was the one who made her cry because of something I said, so I panicked, I don’t know what to say for her to calm down.

“H-hey Dara, calm down”

“You’re as sweet as you were before, Chanyeol. Out of all the reserves I had, I should’ve just chosen you instead. Maybe I’ll get to like you. I shouldn’t be crying right now,” I’m calming her down while brushing my hand on her back in a comforting way, when she suddenly went really close to my face and can’t stop her from cutting the distance of our lips.

“Who is she, Yeol?” I pushed Dara away and turned to the person who talked. And saw that boy, with a sling bag on his shoulder. I noticed how he clenched the sling of the bag tightly while looking at my hands that is still holding Dara’s arm. And because of that, I quickly removed it and distance myself from Dara.

“I don’t know what kind of roses that doesn’t wither you want me to see because what I’m seeing right now is how you never stop being a liar and a player!”

He quickly ran out the coffee shop after he said that, and never gave me the chance to go to him and explain. While the people inside are staring and whispering, I don’t know what to do.

“Chanyeol, who was that?” I looked at Dara, and then outside then back at her again. I’ve been dreaming for Dara to notice me, I really loved her before. That’s the keyword “loved” and “before”.

During that time, I didn’t feel anything even if she kissed me. I regret that I didn’t stop the kiss from happening, and I regret that I even talked to her in the first place, I don’t want him to see me with her.

That boy…

“Dara, I’m not happy of what happened to you and I wish you to be happy one day and find someone who will truly love you. But I’m sure that I’m not that guy. Excuse me, I’m leaving. I’m going after someone.”

I stand up, grabbed the cake. As I was about to leave, she grabbed me by the arm stopping me. I turned to look at her and saw confusion in her eyes.

“Who was that guy?”

I smiled at her and said, “Isn’t it obvious? He’s the one I love.”

I slowly removed her hand from my arm and bid her goodbye.
