I Saw Two Santas, Kissing

Genre: Fluff

It was that time of December; the time which everybody waits for once winter starts. It was snowing outside and twinkling lights almost blinded her. Cheers and carols filled the streets and she could feel the snowmen waving at her. Her eyes fell on her own two little snowmen who were busy decorating the Christmas Tree. “Mommy, look!” Se Chan tugged at his mother’s dress trying to drag her towards the tree. “Look, Se Mi and I decorated the tree!” The enunciation of the little girl’s name made her look up and clap her hands in excitement. “It looks so beautiful baby. Santa will love the tree.” Their mother bent down to their level and gave them a sweet kiss on the cheek. “Mommy, when will dad come?” Se Chan questioned, his eyes glistening with tears. She looked at him with a smile trying to hide the sadness of the possibility of the said man not being home for Christmas. “He is on his way back, sweetie. He’ll be home soon. Now, go to sleep. Santa won’t come if he finds you two awake.” She picked up Semi in her arms and walked towards their bedroom with Se Chan following her steps.

“Daada…dada.” Se Mi murmured making her mother caress her hair and kiss her on the forehead. “Mommy, I don’t want to spend Christmas without dad.” Se Chan spoke as a tear slid down his cheeks. “Dad will be with us, baby. If not, then we’ll go to Aunt Hwang Ju’s house. Don’t cry baby, you know mommy feels sad when you cry.” She gently wiped his tears and tickled him making the little one giggle at the tingling sensation. She left the room when she was sure they had reached the dreamland but not without kissing their foreheads.

Her hands reached for the phone and disappointment painted her face finding no calls or messages from her husband. She called him for the nth time that day and pattern repeated itself; he did not pick up. After trying for the last time, she decided to give up and reached her room. Every year Baekhyun would dress up as Santa but given the circumstances, it was her turn now. This would be the first Christmas without him and it…..well, it sucked. He promised he would be at home for Christmas and he clearly couldn’t fulfill it. With disappointment weighing on her shoulders, she got dressed up as Santa and opened her closet where she had hidden the gifts.

A noise coming from the hall drew her attention. She could feel her heartbeat doubling and carefully she picked up her cloth hanger for defense. She slowly pushed the door, ensuring that the intruder won’t be alerted by her presence. Tip-toeing, she reached the sofa from where she could see ….a Santa? Do people steal these days by dressing up as Santa? This thought crossed her mind as she observed the man dressed in red, occupied by the Christmas tree.

“Who are you? Don’t you dare move. If you dared to move so much as a muscle, I’ll make sure you go to the police station in pieces.”

“Babe, you sound so sexy right now.”

She froze. The familiarity of the voice made her drop the cloth hanger in surprise. “Baekhyun!” She exclaimed in a high-pitched voice at the same time reminding herself to keep her voice down. “Surprise, sweetheart.” Baekhyun turned out opening his arms for a hug from his wife. She walked towards him in slow-motion as if walking in the garden of dreams and kicked him on his shin. “Oww. Not the kind of reaction I expected.” Baekhyun winced rubbing the area of the target. “You are such a jerk. I called you a hundred times today and you did not even care to respond. Don’t even get me started on the messages. Do you even know how much children cried knowing that their dad won’t be at home for Christmas? Do you even know how sad I was knowing that you won’t be here with me? I don’t want to talk to you right now.” She snapped and turned around not wanting to show her red face to him. Baekhyun looked down feeling sad and walked towards her feeling somewhat scared.

“I’m sorry babe. Hey, look at me.” He whispered in her ears and rested his chin on her shoulder pulling her close to him in the process. “I just wanted to surprise you and my babies. I didn’t reply to the messages so that you won’t get any hints. Come on, do you wanna spend Christmas like this?” He pulled her red coat and dropped kisses on her exposed shoulder. His confession made her turn around and look at him. “You are right. I don’t want to spend Christmas like this. I’m sorry for snapping at you. I was just worried that something happened to you. It doesn’t matter now that you are here. I missed you a lot.” She played with the hem of his Santa coat making him smile at her cuteness. “ I missed you too. By the way, you look so cute dressed up as Santa.” His remark reminded her of her costume making her conscious of herself. “And you are one handsome Santa.” She commented making the latter pull her close.

Without warning, Baekhyun leaned in sealing her lips with his. The warmth of his lips sent shivers down her spine making her hook her arms around his neck and pull him close. However, the kiss didn’t last long. A loud gasp caused them to pull away. “Se Mi, two Santas are kissing each other! Oh My God! Is this allowed by the Bible?” Se Chan’s question made both the ‘Santas’ blush. “Merry Christmas!” Baekhyun exclaimed making both the kids clap excitedly. “I am Santa and that’s my wife.” Baekhyun’s expression was priceless. I didn’t know what else to say, was what she could decipher from his gaze.

“Are they asleep?” Baekhyun nodded and silently closed the door. “Se Mi kept on pulling my beard and Se Chan wanted me to take him for a ride on my sleigh.” She giggled and handed him his coffee. “Merry Christmas.” She showed him the present that she had been hiding from him. His bright smile made an appearance again making him pull her in a hug. “That’s great but I have got a bigger present to unwrap.” She looked at his smug face with confusion. He hooked his arms under her legs and carried her in bridal style towards the bedroom.

“I want to unwrap the present I have in my arms.”

“Byun Baekhyun!”

I have to say this....I feel so lucky having committed to EXO for four years now. EXO exposes you to such a diverse discography. You have no idea what they have in store every year....I love them and I am running out of words to describe my love for them. I know that I should respect opinions but I don't get why people didn't like obsession. I am so addicted to this song. The fact that it is so unique is what caught my interest. I love the whole concept, the album, the dance...everything. I LOVE THEM AND THIS CONCEPT IS SUPERIOR!!!!

EXO IS FLOP ? I DON'T THINK SO

Small, high-pitched giggles filled Baekhyun’s bedroom. It was six in the evening and the clean, crisp scent of shower gel and strawberry shampoo floated in the air, brought by the warm steam cloud coming out of Baekhyun’s toilet. Beside the boy laid a blow-dryer while in his lap sat the little baby girl bouncing excitedly on his legs while watching the big device that you, her dear mama, would always use to clean the floor. Baekhyun’s hands were struggling to gather the little one’s hair into a stable hold but soon enough, a triumphant smile erupted on his lips when he managed just fine. Eagerly picking up the long tube, he directed it toward his daughter’s hair.

Hesitantly she asked; “Are you sure this is how you do it, daddy…?” A hesitant pout frowned her pink and extremely soft looking lips, her high pitched and cute voice gave the man an incredible urge to scatter anything he was holding away so that he could cup her cheeks and smooch every inch of her face that resembled the woman he loved too much. Just like you, his baby was beautiful.

“Don’t you worry buttercup, daddy’s got this!” He exclaimed reassuringly, the silly smile on his face made the little girl reciprocate the expression, letting out another set of giggles.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, Sweetiekins,” He sang in an adoring chuckle.

“But won’t it suck in all of my hair?”

“Don’t you trust daddy?” He pouted, merely resembling his own daughter as he pulled that kind of expression. Had you been there to witness it, you would’ve been all over him, ogling him with heartshaped eyes pooled love and affection, he knew for sure you would’ve. The little girl’s expression wavered ever so slightly but turned soon into a face splitting smile that made the organ in his chest swell with love and adoration, a giddy feeling taking over his body as he felt like the luckiest man in the world to have such a beautiful daughter by his side. Flowers bloomed in his chest- colorful petals tickled his belly when he leaned down to plant a chaste peck on her small lips, excitedly, she smacked her lips loudly against his. Her cheeks lifted and turned her twinkling eyes into crescents moons, it looked like her eyes held pure stars within them, he noted. A pink hue covering her skin at the happiness of having received a little kiss from her favorite man in the whole world.

“I trust daddy the most!” She encouraged and with a holler of triumph, Baekhyun finally turned the vacuum on and directed it towards her hair. As soon as it sucked into the tube- it took it less than thirty seconds to gather her hair neatly before lacing a pink ribbon around her ponytail.

“You look beautiful, princess,” He cooed once done, satisfaction rested on his delighted features and the little girl squealed in joy as she jumped off the bed to sprint toward the full-body mirror planted on his shared closet, he followed. Her small hands rested against the class as she adored her own reflection, happily screeching once again, this time more high pitched and her hands formed into fists by her chest as she tightly shut her eyes close to control the excitement.

“Daddy you’re the best!” She almost shouted as she threw her arms around his legs, hugging him with all of her might. If his eyes could show any more adoration- if only his eyes could reflect the arrow piercing his heart at the feeling of his daughter’s short arms sending love through the embrace she had attempted to pull him in. Crouching down to her level, completely driven by his overflowing emotions, he forgot to take it easy when he pulled her into his chest, tightening his arms around the petite figure- it never felt like he was hugging her close enough, he wanted her to know all of the fatherly love he had for her, his princess.

“Daddy loves you the most.” He whispered soothingly in her ear, rocking their bodies slowly. She only nodded because young or not, she knew no more words were needed.

When the noise of the front door opening resounded from downstairs, the kid was quick to break the calm and peaceful embrace because her legs tickled so greatly with the urge to sprint down to see her mother, but not without planting a kiss on her dad’s cheeks did she move.

“Mama!” She screeched on her way down the stairs, you could only smile at the familiar sound of her voice.”

“Hi, baby!” You crouched down immediately, knowing she’d jump in your embrace. “You look so pretty!” Honey dripped from your lips as you admired the pink ribbon keeping her golden locks in place, the compliment turned her face into pure sunshine.

“Daddy did it!” She pointed behind her shoulders once Baekhyun’s footsteps were heard.

“With that cleaning machine!” She screeched excitedly, Baekhyun froze in his steps and your eyes widened.

“With what?!”

“Shortcake!” He cried, ”I thought we decided to keep it a secret!”

Her hands flew to her mouth with shock, but nonetheless, a giggle escaped her mouth.

“Daddy I’m sorry! It slipped!”

There you go little flowers✨💕🍓😚

Give Me Love

EPILOGUE

AUTHOR’S NOTE - I wanna thank everybody for reading this fic. Thank you for all the hearts and love.... ^_^

It was far from a regular day albeit everything seemed normal. The sun still rose from the east and the sky was still blue. Time was still running at its pace. Nights were still nights and days were still days. The only thing which was not an everyday scenario was Baekhyun staring at an angel during hours which couldn’t be called morning. Even though he had confirmed it for the nth time, his everything was there, beside him. He couldn’t help but smile on seeing her sleeping so peacefully next to him. She looked so graceful while lying there that he didn’t want to disturb her deep slumber. It was just yesterday when she had arrived. Baekhyun had no idea when she was going to come and when she stood there outside the apartment, all smiling and happy on seeing him, he hugged her so tightly almost suffocating her to death. He couldn’t help but pick her up and spin her around. Sae Ri couldn’t feel anything on her face after Baekhyun peppered her face with kisses.

Baekhyun frowned when Sae Ri rolled on her right, her back blocked his view. He snuggled closer to her and shimmied his hand under her figure. This made Sae Ri roll back to the left facing Baekhyun again. A smile made its way on Baekhyun’s face as his heart swelled with warmth on seeing her soft features. She made cute noises in her sleep, something he had common with her, and moved closer to the source of warmth. Baekhyun had waited for months for this to happen. In his imagination, every detail was so perfectly idealistic scenario of romance but in reality, it was infinitely the best. It was already afternoon and he had to wake her up now, but he couldn’t. She looked so calm and serene juts breathing in and out and he didn’t want to intervene in that.

Unfortunately, her eyes fluttered open the moment he removed his arm from below her. “I’m sorry to wake you up. Fall back asleep; I’ll go and do some work.” He kissed her hair but a tug on his shirt made him look at her. She yawned and sat up sleepily. “I’ll come with you. What time is it?” She looked at the clock and her eyes doubled their normal size on seeing how late it was. “12:30! Why didn’t you wake me up?” Sae Ri asked Baekhyun who chuckled. “You were tired from all the traveling. Moreover, you looked so peaceful while sleeping I didn’t want to wake you up.” Baekhyun reasoned and shyly scratched his nape. Sae Ri tried to bite back her smile and hid her face from Baekhyun knowing he would tease her for this. “Go shower. I’ll make us some breakfast.” Before Baekhyun could protest she left for the kitchen.

It was evident that Sae Ri was worried about unpacking all her stuff. She kept on staring at the boxes during the breakfast. Baekhyun placed his hand on hers snapping her out of the daze. “Don’t worry. I’ll help you unpack everything. You don’t have to unpack everything today, okay?” Baekhyun’s reassurance relaxed her and she nodded her head in response. Sae Ri couldn’t be any happier. She loves Baekhyun more than anything in this world and being together with him was a lifetime of euphoria. Just the thought of staying by his side was blissful for her. They had finally resolved all the issues of the past and were writing a new story of their love.

“Why don’t we start with unpacking your clothes and books today?” Baekhyun suggested and Sae Ri agreed with him. “After that, we can go on a date.” Sae Ri almost choked on water when Baekhyun mentioned date. “D-Date?” Sae Ri asked, her mouth agape. “Date,” Baekhyun repeated the word with more confidence. “We’ve never been on a date before. The distance was the problem but now we’re together. I never officially asked you to be my girlfriend.” Baekhyun was right. Usually, people first develop a liking for each other, and then they go on dates and then fall in love. For Baekhyun and Sae Ri, they first developed a liking for each other, they fell in love, then came in betrayal and now they made up and fell in love again. What an unusual love story!

“Okay.” Sae Ri simply said and Baekhyun noticed her pink cheeks. “You are blushing, aren’t you?” Baekhyun teased her and propped his head on his hands. “I’m not.” Sae Ri asserted and looked away. “You are blushing. Did I make the tough Sae Ri blush?” Baekhyun chuckled on seeing her become redder and leaned over the table to get a look at her face. “No, you didn’t.” Sae Ri flicked him on the forehead and raced towards her bedroom before Baekhyun could catch her. God, I love her, Baekhyun thought in his head and followed her to her room.

Sae Ri collected her hair in a bun and sat down to unpack all her clothes. Baekhyun, on the other hand, took the responsibility to arranger her books. She had a lot of books for a person who didn’t read books often. Baekhyun’s eyes shone on seeing his books in the boxes. He didn’t alert her knowing she would hide it in embarrassment. He had no idea she had all his six books. He flipped through the pages of every book noticing that she had highlighted a few words and sentences. All the lines that she had decided to highlight had motivational connotations. He also noticed some questions she had written on the pages about the characters. Those questions made him wonder whether he wrote the story correctly. In those thirty minutes, Baekhyun had thought of six different parallel universe theories. “You are right. Se Ho should have used that abandoned weapon.” The moment Baekhyun mentioned the characters in his book, Sae Ri mentally slapped herself for not remembering the boxes contained his books too. “I am your favorite writer, right? Now that I am thinking about it, you made it quite obvious.” Sae Ri tried to reach and grab the book but Baekhyun raised his hand making it difficult for her to grab the book.

“You love making people blush and teasing them, don’t you?” Sae Ri crossed her arms across her chest and sighed in defeat. Baekhyun grinned and shrugged his shoulder. “Give me a kiss and the book is yours.” Baekhyun pointed his finger towards his lips and puckered them. Sae Ri shook her head and went back to unpacking her clothes. Baekhyun had a look of betrayal on his face and gasped in disbelief. “This is unbelievable. You don’t love me. You never did. How can you not kiss me? This hurts me. No cuddles for you now. How can you be laughing? It’s not funny. Stop-” Baekhyun would have gone on and on if Sae Ri wouldn’t have silenced him with a kiss. Baekhyun closed his eyes and the moment he started enjoying the kiss, she pulled away. “I can’t believe I fell in love with a drama queen.” Sae Ri pecked his lips before going back to work. Baekhyun cleared his throat and covered his red cheeks.

Sae Ri should have seen this coming. She should have known. Sae Ri was standing outside a library waiting for Baekhyun who was in the washroom. She rested her hands on her hips the moment she saw Baekhyun came jogging towards her. “You’re going to make me read your favorite books on our first date, aren’t you?” Baekhyun chuckled seeing the look on Sae Ri’s face. “I wasn’t but now that you said it, I might as well do it.” Sae Ri playfully hit Baekhyun on his arm who feigned hurt. “I am just kidding. Trust me; it’s going to be fun.” Baekhyun reassured her. They were going in when his eyes fell on her shoes. He bent down to tie the laces of her footwear.

“I could have tied the laces myself.”

“I know but then it wouldn’t have been romantic.”

“This is my favorite library. It usually has fewer readers but it is the best in my opinion.” Baekhyun looked around the library in fascination. Sae Ri could see how much Baekhyun loved this place. “There it is.” He dragged her to the romance section which was located in the corner of the library. “We are gonna play a little game. Select random books and fold the corners of the pages that have lines that describe each other. After we are done, we’ll ask each other to read them. ” Sae Ri had never done this before. It seemed very interesting. Baekhyun kissed her cheek and went to the other side. Sae Ri bit back her smile. Her footsteps were slow as her fingers brushed every novel she could reach. She randomly picked up a book, flipping through pages slowly, trying to read every word she could. When she found the page, she folded its corner. Memories rushed inside her head as she read some lines that were the plain reflections of her thoughts. There were many words she wanted to tell Baekhyun and this was just the perfect way.

Time wasn’t ending as both of them kept on searching words in the books. If Baekhyun wouldn’t have set a timer for fifteen minutes, both of them would have gone on and on. “Time to read.” Baekhyun and Sae Ri changed their positions and their hearts beat in sync as they tried to spot books their other halves had chosen. Sae Ri’s eyes fell on The Notebook and she flipped through its pages. The folded page read -I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who’s ever lived: I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough.

She smiled and then moved on to the next book she could find. Her hands grabbed a work of Tyler Knott Gregson. As she guessed, there was a quote in there too, which read, I would love to say that you make me weak in the knees but to be quite upfront and completely truthful you make my body forget it has knees at all.

It was at that moment she realized how much Baekhyun meant to her. She could spend the whole day reading all these quotes. Her hands kept on exploring different book each with a different definition of love.

Now, I’m not going to deny that I was aware of your beauty. But the point is, this has nothing to do with your beauty. As I got to know you, I began to realize that beauty was the least of your qualities. I became fascinated by your goodness. I was drawn in by it. I didn’t understand what was happening to me. And it was only when I began to feel actual, physical pain every time you left the room that it finally dawned on me: I was in love, for the first time in my life. I knew it was hopeless, but that didn’t matter to me. And it’s not that I want to have you. All I want is to deserve you. Tell me what to do. Show me how to behave. I’ll do anything you say.

Do I love you? My god, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches.

Here's to all the places we went. And all the places we'll go. And here's to me, whispering again and again and again and again: I love you.

Sae Ri could feel herself falling in love with Baekhyun in that moment, again and again. The more she read the quotes, the more she filled love in the cup called heart. How could her heart love someone else’s without overflowing? She was still shy to face Baekhyun and waited for him to finish reading.

Baekhyun had no idea he was capable of loving Sae Ri more than anything else in this world. He looked into her soul while reading the quotes she had for him. With a smile he read the quotes again and again, wanting to memorize them by heart.

In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.

You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope...I have loved none but you.

I do love nothing in the world so well as you – is not that strange?

If I were to live a thousand years, I would belong to you for all of them. If we were to live a thousand lives, I would want to make you mine in each one.

I like myself better when I’m with you.

Baekhyun could feel the familiar moisture in his eyes. Her fingers brushed over the pages with all those lovely quotes. His heart was enveloped with the love he housed in there. He pushed the book back in the rack and went on the other side and found Sae Ri leaning against the wall waiting for him. Her face lit up with her ever so beautiful smile and Baekhyun couldn’t hold himself back. He walked towards her, cupped her face and tasted her lips. Sae Ri could feel the passion, emotions, love the moment his lips became one with hers. She lost herself to the kiss as it became more and more passionate with each passing eternity. Both of them could care less about the world. It was just the two of them in the universe they had created. Baekhyun pulled her as close as he could and Sae Ri pulled away to breathe for a second but connected her lips with him again. Tongues met and fingers twirled the strands of hair in the burning desire. They could have kept going on and on but when they could not feel themselves breathing, they had to let go.

For a moment, they looked into each other’s souls. “I love you,” Baekhyun whispered against her lips. “I love you too.” Sae Ri took his upper lips in between her lips and kissed it slowly. Baekhyun responded to the kiss slowly, still out of breath. “What are you doing?” Both of them were interrupted by a thundering voice of the librarian who had a stick in his hand ready to beat them to death for the inappropriate behavior. “Run.” Baekhyun grabbed her hand and they ran out of the library with Baekhyun screaming and Sae Ri laughing loudly as she ran as fast as she could.

Give Me Love

FINAL

AUTHOR’S NOTE - GML finally came to end and I had a lot of fun while writing it. I want to thank all those who read it and it means a lot to me. Do let me know if you guys want an epilogue!

Sae Ri squeezed her eyes shut when the sun rays invaded her room and stirred in her sleep. She pulled the covers to shield herself in an attempt to fall asleep again. She was just going to fall into a deep slumber when the door of her room opened and someone started shouting her name. “Wake up Sae Ri! It’s my wedding for god’s sake.” Sae Ri’s eyes opened at once completely alert of the occasion she was here for and she got up at once. “I get it but you don’t have to rub it in everyone’s faces.” Sae Ri stretched her arms and threw a pillow at Suho after. “And my old sister is back again.” Suho pulled her hand to make her stand and hugged her. Sae Ri, on the other hand, used his shoulder for resting for head and closed her eyes trying to fall asleep again. “Happy wedding day!” She sleepily mumbled in his shoulder making him smile. “Come on, it’s late. Everybody is waiting for you downstairs.”

Sae Ri whined but eventually got ready for breakfast. Her eyes lit upon seeing so many familiar faces but on remembering how rude she was to them she facepalmed. She could see all her old colleagues and her relatives whom she definitely didn’t want to meet. She went to hug her aunt and uncle because she couldn’t meet them last night. She sat with the bride and they talked about the person who was the link between the two of them. “How do you deal with his lame jokes? I would rather kill myself than laugh at his jokes.” Sae Ri confessed making the bride giggle. “I have gotten used to it by now. Moreover, his jokes aren’t half as bad as you say. I like some of them.” Mia said and Sae Ri gasped dramatically. “No wonder he fell in love with you. Your kids are going to be very funny.” Sae Ri’s comment made Mia blush whose cheeks got even redder on seeing Suho.

Sae Ri followed Mia’s gaze and smiled on seeing Suho. However, her smile vanished on seeing Baekhyun with him. He looked like he was being forcefully dragged by Suho to the table where both the females were sitting. “What were you guys talking about?” Suho asked as he took a seat beside Mia and Baekhyun sat across Sae Ri. He was acting like he didn’t know her and tried to avoid eye-contact with her. She didn’t know if this made her angry or sad or happy. “Nothing special.” Sae Ri mumbled and looked at her food again. “How can you call me nothing special?” Suho gasped in disbelief earning a laugh from Mia. Observing the silence on the table, Mia gestured Suho to do something about it who shrugged his shoulders not knowing what to do.

The silence turned into chaos when the waiter who came to the table spilled the hot coffee he was carrying. Had it not been for Baekhyun, all of the beverage would have drenched Sae Ri’s dress. She watched in horror when Baekhyun’s hand tried to catch the cup but ended up with all the coffee burning his hand. Baekhyun winced in pain as the burning sensation hurt him. Sae Ri didn’t even think and got up and grabbed Baekhyun’s other hand and took him to her room. “Wash your hand. I’ll bring the first aid kit.” She instructed Baekhyun who was still trying to process whatever happened. He let the cold water run on his hand groaning at the painful sensation. He came out of the washroom and at the same moment, Sae Ri entered the room. She made Baekhyun sit beside her on the bed and took his burnt hand gently applying the ointment on it. Baekhyun took advantage of this situation and examined her closely. She was still so breathtaking at such proximity. Her lips were as rosy as he remembered and her cheeks were still so cute. A gentle smile played on his lips when he saw her so absorbed in what she was doing. Her touch couldn’t be any softer and the butterflies inside Baekhyun fluttered finally after months of rest. He was caught looking at her when Sae Ri looked up. Baekhyun was realizing how much he had missed her now that she was in front of him. His eyes glanced at her lips for a second before meeting her eyes again. “Take care of yourself.” Sae Ri said and left the room leaving Baekhyun alone with his thoughts. I wished I was more injured so she would’ve stayed longer to look after me; Baekhyun thought and decided to get ready for the wedding.

Baekhyun watched the couple who said their vows and were now kissing each other. He whole-heartedly smiled seeing his friend so happy and in love. Suho was one of the kindest people he knew. He never held back when it came to helping the people he loved and cared about. He could get a little unbearable sometimes with his lame jokes but he was the best. He was a hard-working soul who earned the love he deserved. They had met at a comic book store two years ago and became friends at once. He was the rational one in their friendship who always was there with him. He chuckled when his friend looked at him and grinned which he deciphered as I am the luckiest man in the world. He had to admit he was envious. His eyes wandered to Sae Ri who was standing exactly opposite to him, cheering for her brother and getting embarrassed by her actions. A smile took shape on his lips when he saw the smile he wished he was the reason for.

“Congratulations.” Baekhyun wished the couple and hugged Suho. “It finally happened. I wish you a long healthy life with Mrs. Suho. I hope you enjoy lifelong happiness.” Baekhyun patted the back of Suho before separating from the hug. “Thanks, Baekhyun.” Suho smiled at him, happy to see Baekhyun with him. They had become friends in a comic store and here they are. They hadn’t known each other for very long but they felt that they were brothers. Their chemistry was unmatched and true. Suho did land punches on Baekhyun’s face when he heard about the whole book thing but he did forgive him. He knew the writer’s feelings for Sae Ri were not fake and he had seen it in Baekhyun. He did hate him for months but in the end, they were friends. They sought out their feelings and decided to give another chance to themselves.

“Have you talked to her yet?” Suho whispered in Baekhyun’s ear. “I haven’t and I won’t.” Baekhyun asserted and looked away. “You have to Baekhyun. She isn’t the same and so aren’t you. Are you going to keep your feelings with yourself without telling her? I don’t want you to regret not trying. I don’t want you to spend the rest of your life by imagining what-ifs.” Baekhyun bit his lip not knowing what to say. His eyes found Sae Ri in the crowd easily having memorized her completely. She looked the most spectacular in the room. The blue shade of the dress suited her and the most beautiful thing she wore was her smile. “Please, do try. I know she’ll talk to you.” Suho patted his shoulder and squeezed it lightly before leaving for his bride. Baekhyun continued staring at Sae Ri lovingly and tried to choose between something stupid or rational to do.

The ceremony had ended nicely. The couple had left for their new beginning. Everyone had returned to the hotel and had to leave tomorrow for their respective houses. The whole world was exhausted and had fallen asleep except for two souls. Baekhyun found Sae Ri in the balcony of the hotel watching the stars, so lost in them that she looked like one. Baekhyun was stressed out about whether he should go there or not but the urge to talk to her carried him there. There was a safe distance between them and she didn’t even notice him till he coughed. She looked very uncomfortable seeing him there and this hurt Baekhyun. Nevertheless, he decided to stay.

“How have you been?” His question startled her. “I-I’ve been good.” Her answer was short but self-explanatory. “Suho told me that you are doing wonders in your company and that you even made a friend.” Baekhyun’s voice was very soft not wanting to hurt. “Can we talk?” His question seemed stupid but the expression on her face showed that she understood the hidden lines. “I have to go.” She turned on her heels to leave when Baekhyun grabbed her hand, stopping her from leaving. “Please just five minutes and then you can go. Just hear me out.” Baekhyun requested and she faced him. Not getting any response from her he decided to continue. “I have been a complete mess since you left. I-I haven’t written anything since and alcohol has been my best friend these days. I hate myself and I can’t even look at myself. There hasn’t been a single night when I haven’t thought of you and what I did to you. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I’m sorry for taking advantage of you, for the lies but all of it wasn’t a lie. That night when we watched the stars, on your birthday, the day we played games, I meant everything I said. I hadn’t realized how much I had missed you when I saw you again. I had started falling in love with you long before that I forgot all about the stupid novel. All the feelings I have for you aren’t for some stupid novel. I know I don’t deserve you but I didn’t want not saying what I’m about to say. I-”

“Five minutes are over.”

Sae Ri interrupted him and left for her room. Baekhyun followed her figure as it disappeared.

“I love you.” He whispered to himself and heaved a deep sigh.

Sae Ri had been staring at the clock for forty-five minutes now. She hadn’t slept the comfortably the night before and her whole body was aching. She had packed all her stuff and was exhausted yet, she couldn’t sleep. She had three hours before she had to leave for the airport still she decided to call for a cab. Who knows how bad the traffic can be and she didn’t want to be late. She had met all the important people and was showered with a lot of hugs before she sat in the cab. She waved at her aunt and uncle for the last time before she stopped looking outside the window. She rested her head against the car’s window and closed her eyes. She had a great time here. Her brother got married to the best woman in the world and she couldn’t be any happier. She is going to return to her normal life in America and everything will be fine. If everything is really fine then why is there a feeling of hollowness in her chest? She opened her purse and found the only necklace she had. She touched it gently and looked at it thoughtfully as if trying to memorize its design. She wore it around her neck and leaned her head against the seat.

She was about to do something she wished was right.

Baekhyun shut down the television after switching between various channels. Everything looked so dull and monotonous. He saw a text from Suho who informed him how much fun he was having which made him happy. He threw his phone on the couch and leaned against it. He knew that Sae Ri had left in the morning. He had seen her leave while hiding timidly behind a pillar. He had no courage to face her after knowing that she had never forgiven him. He accepted that his misery is unending. He had a strange idea to follow her to the airport but she had made it clear that she didn’t want him around. His trail of thoughts was interrupted by the ringing of his doorbell. He wasn’t expecting any visitor so he was surprised. He opened the door and found someone who made him wonder if he was dreaming.

“Sae Ri” He breathed. The necklace on her neck caught his gaze and he couldn’t believe his eyes.

“Can I come in?” Sae Ri questioned, her heart beating rapidly. Baekhyun nodded his head not knowing what to say and moved aside to let her in. She dragged her luggage inside and observed the familiar surroundings. Everything was the same way it looked like on the day she left. The piano was still begging to be played by her and the kitchen had the smell as it had before. “What brought you here?” Baekhyun mustered the courage to ask her the question still quite shocked by what just happened. Sae Ri’s eyes focused on Baekhyun this time, which showed how much she changed, unlike the former Sae Ri who couldn’t even look at him properly. She didn’t say anything and walked towards him which puzzled Baekhyun more and more. She stopped until she was close enough to inhale his cologne and surprised him by wrapping her arms around him. Her embrace was more calming than Baekhyun had expected it to be. She placed her chin on his shoulder and smiled. “I missed you too.” She whispered and Baekhyun was on the verge of having a heart attack. His eyes had widened to the extent that they couldn’t return to their normal size. His heart was racing at an abnormal pace and he was trying to process the situation.

Sae Ri pulled away from the hug and cupped his cheek. “It was hard for me to stay away from you, not see you, to love you. I haven’t forgotten what you did to me but should say it worked because I ended up falling for you. I forgive you for what you did. I read the emails you sent me, Suho updated me with your news from time to time and I know that you didn’t lie about what you felt. I still need time before there is ‘us’ and I want you to wait for me.” Baekhyun listened to her silently and held the hand that was on his cheek. He kissed the palm of her hand and pulled her closer. His nose touched hers and he looked in her eyes. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I was a fool. I hurt you.” He whispered as a tear fell from his eye. Sae Ri wiped the tear from his cheek and kissed his nose. “It was in the past and we need to move on so that we can be with each other. Will you wait for me?” Baekhyun nodded his head and kissed her forehead. He pulled her back in his embrace, nuzzling his nose in her neck not letting go for a while.

She pulled away from his embrace to stare at his face earning a chuckle from Baekhyun. “The necklace looks beautiful. I can’t believe you still wear it.” Baekhyun’s fingers grazed the silver necklace which still suited its owner. “I never took it off, except the times I was mad at you.” Baekhyun smiled making Sae Ri smile automatically. He stared at her lovingly, trying to believe that she was here with him at the moment. “Why did you even come here?” He whispered and pushed the strands of her hair behind her ear. “I wanted to make it dramatic for your stupid novel.” Baekhyun chuckled and became silent as he stared at her lovingly as if she was his world. “I love you.” He breathed and caressed her cheek with the back of his hand which compelled her to lean into his touch. “I love you a lot.” She smiled and kissed his nose.

“A lot? Seriously?”

“I’m not good with words. That’s why you’re a writer and I’m not.”

“True that.”

“You know, in romantic novels, lovers do a thing called kissing which we haven’t done yet so I’m guessing you don’t know about it. I thought you were a good romance writer but here we are. I’m disappointed.”

Baekhyun’s expression was priceless. “You read my books, didn’t you? All those times when you were under the blanket getting all shocked when I entered the room.”

Sae Ri sheepishly smiled on being caught. “You entered a girl’s room without knocking. Now that we are talking about it, you used to peek by slightly opening the door, didn’t you?”

“That’s not the point!” Baekhyun exclaimed.

“Exactly. That’s not the point.” Sae Ri spoke before grabbing the collar of his shirt to pull him in for a kiss. Baekhyun relaxed in her touch and cupped her neck to pull her even closer. Sae Ri fisted his shirt as they continued to kiss fervently. Her lips tasted exactly the way Baekhyun had imagined. She was so sweet that he wanted it more. Sae Ri found the kiss to be exciting and addictive. Her first kiss was as magical as people described it in books. She pulled away panting from the rush and Baekhyun mirrored her actions. He smiled at her and intertwined his fingers with hers.

Albeit it was hard to let her leave, Baekhyun had no choice. He had promised to wait for her. He waved his hand at her biding a final goodbye and saved her smile in his head so that he could remember it on the bad days. He knew that they will meet soon and thanked Heaven for giving him the love of the most amazing woman in the universe.
