She lifted her mug to her lips and sipped her bitter sweet coffee. Baekhyun eyed the blue mug after she put it down. It was almost empty.

“Am I losing my mind?” Hyeran blurted while holding Eun in front of her face. “I keep dreaming the same guy and I don't know who is he. I don't know what's his name. I don't know why I dreamed about him.” she sighed deeply and hugged Eun closed to her chest.

She shut her eyes, still sighing. Blurry picture of the unknown guy flashed in her mind. “And I kinda like him. Gosh.” she mumbled.

“I like you too.” Baekhyun confessed quietly. “I wish I can show myself even just only for one night.”

“Did you see that, Eun?” Hyeran said to her cat who came to sniff the floor. She quickly went to kitchen and grabbed a towel.

When she returned, Eun was back on the sofa. “Huh?” Hyeran blinked. The floor was clean. She looked at Eun. “Did you lick all the spilled coffee off the floor??”

Baekhyun couldn't help but chuckle.

The rainstorm came late that evening. She already took her seat in front of the sliding door after showering. She watched the trees were swaying left and right because of the blowing wind. She felt her eyelids were getting heavier.

Just before her head hit the wood floor, something soft caught her. She blinked and realised her head was on someone's lap. Her wet hair was gently blotted and squeezed with a towel. She looked up sleepily and his soft features came into view. His squishy cheeks and kissable lips, tainted with few cuts. She missed him. She weakly smiled although he was looking outside and closed her eyes, silently praying.

Please stay with me...
