A/N: Please check out my latest published story featuring Kim Taehyung!
When Eun Joo went back inside her new apartment, she left the door open so Baekhyun could come in. He came in and the door automatically closed behind him. Eun Joo sighed. *I have to get used to this weird things.* She walked to the cabinet and took a cup of noodles. "Just get one if you're hungry." she said, closing the cabinet door.
Baekhyun walked to her and placed the cup noodle back to the cabinet while holding her hand. He placed her hand back to her side. "You're not going to eat cup noodles today. I'll try cooking something for you."
Eun Joo tucked her hands inside her pockets and sat down at the chair while facing the cooking area. She just leaned at the back rest of the chair and blankly stared at him, waiting for Baekhyun to make the food he's telling. "What do you usually cook when you're still alive?" *Oh, That's a very awkward question.*
Baekhyun washed his hands. "Yes, that's a very awkward question to hear."
She frowned. "Stop reading my mind."
He cracked a small smile and turned the electric stove on.*I hope Kyungsoo is here. He's good at cooking than me. But I bet he'll eat all the food by himself.* "Hmm, I'll try if I could still remember making omurice."
"Ahh, but omelette rice is very easy to make." But Baekhyun ignored her. Eun Joo wanted to see how he is doing so she walked over and stood beside him. He's chopping some of the ingredients professionally. Just like a cook. "You're good."
Baekhyun started cracking the eggs and scrambled them. He cooked the fried rice first before making the egg and putting the cooked fried rice in it. He wrapped the rice with the egg and neatly places it in the plate. He put tomato sauce as his finishing touch. "I don't care if you don't like it. Just eat." He handed it to you.
*Mean and I know you're hearing me.* he chuckled and watched her grumpily walking back to her place and stared at the food Baekhyun made.
Baekhyun sat at the chair across her and interlace his beautiful fingers together. "Are you going to judge me? How about a dare? If it tastes good, you have to grant my wish." He grinned.
Eun Joo glowered at him. "What would be that wish?" she raised an eyebrow.
He shook his head. "I'll wait for your answer then I will tell my wish."
"You like this game don't you?"
"Remember, I will know if you're lying." He smirked at her.
Eun Joo waved her spoon at him just to stop him from smirking at her like that since it's really annoying her. She scooped a spoonful of the food Baekhyun made and plunged it to her mouth. She chewed it and wore a poker face.
Right when she swallowed, she sighed. "What's the wish?" she crossed her arm above her chest. She already surrendered since Baekhyun's omurice was really delicious. It's like he's been working in a restaurant before.
Baekhyun jabbed his thumb at the one and only bed inside the new apartment. "I'll sleep at the bed tonight while you will sleep at the floor."
Her jaw dropped, "What?! You're going to let me sleep at the floor? Don't you have any manners?"
"Nope, I don't have that." He shook his head.
Because she already agreed with that dare, Eun Joo felt no other choice but to agree to him. She started eating her food grumpily again while he watched her in amusement. *It's so much fun to be with you when you already know I'm here.*
Eun Joo walked over the living area of the apartment and sat down at the huge couch. Baekhyun sat down beside her and planted his elbow at the arm rest and leaned his head on his closed knuckle. "You don't have anything to ask me?" he watched her, examining the unfamiliar remote control of the television.
She switched the channel. "I will just ask when something popped into my head. For now, I don't have any." But something popped into her mind. "But, wait. If I you're really dead. I can still touch you. W-Well you know, you can't really touch if someone's a soul already, right?"
Baekhyun raised his hand in front of her. "Try me."
He's telling her to feel his palm. Eun Joo was hesitant at first but she slowly raised her hand and palmed his cold hand. His hand was bigger than her. When she did that, she could really say that somehow he's existing.
Eun Joo can't help but to stare at their hands connected like that. *It feels soft. And his hands were really beautiful.* she thought while Baekhyun was just intently gazing at her.
"We're actually half-human every time we're on earth. Question answered?" he raised an eyebrow.
She instantly took her hand away from him and turned the TV off. "I'm sleepy." She directly went inside the bathroom to get a warm bath and change into more comfortable clothes for sleeping.
It's finally bed time, and she threw a huge comforter at the floor just beside the bed and some pillows. She also took her trench coat to make it her blanket. Baekhyun is sitting at the edge of the bed facing the window. "Aren't you going to sleep yet?" she asked.
Baekhyun closed his eyes. He likes the feeling that she's talking to him, she's seeing him and she's with him. He crawled to the bed and lay down. He feels so comfortable that he placed his hand behind his head, facing the ceiling. "Have a good sleep at the floor."
Eun Joo bit her bottom lip. She flattened the pillow and lay down the floor and placed the coat over her body. "How could you do this to me?" she grumbled and pinched her eyes closed.
"Are you mad?" he opened an eye.
"Shut up. I'm going to sleep." But she opened her eyes again, "Tomorrow, I'll get my bed back and cook the breakfast." she said with determination in her voice.
"I'll be anticipating for that."
Eun Joo huffed again and pulled the coat up to her chin and finally closed her eyes to sleep.
Baekhyun smiled and licked his lips. He closed his eyes. But after a few minutes, he can't sleep. Baekhyun can sleep and can't sleep. He can choose whatever he wants. He rolled into his side where Eun Joo is sleeping and peered by the edge of the bed. He saw her sleeping with her eyebrows at the center. "How can she sleep like that?" he stretched his arm out and pointed his finger to smooth her eyebrows. Eun Joo stirred in her sleep but she didn't wake up. He already knows she's a heavy sleeper.
For him, it's amusing to just watch her sleep. But Baekhyun removed the blanket off his body and crouched down. He scooped Eun Joo into his arms and gently placed her into the bed. He covered the blanket over her body and pulled the chair just at the edge of her bed. Baekhyun sat down and crossed his legs. "This is going to be fun. Finally being with you." He leaned at the chair, smiled and just stared at her sleeping face.
When the moonlight flashed her face through the windows, her eyebrows pinched together again. He lightly scoffed and there, he spread his black wings and covered the moonlight flashing her face. He crossed his arms above his chest and continued looking over her.
Author's Note:
