Tell Me What Is Love (Ch. 18)

Chapter 18

He walked down the spiral staircase, having her in his arms. Their lips only separated for mere seconds before feeling the need to kiss again. He moved into his bedroom, where he carefully seated her down. Hye hee’s heart beat relentlessly in her chest, anticipating what would be the perfect night together after years. Switching the subtle lights on in his room, which dimly lit up the space, Baekhyun walked to the love of his life, taking her lips in his once again. His brain had frozen. The only thing he could think about was Hye hee and how perfect this felt. Hands in his air, Hyehee slightly tugged at his hair, earning a groan from him.

He traced his lips down to her throat, leaving trails of kisses as he moved to her collarbone. Pulling her onto his lap, his arms wrapped around her torso to pull her closer to him. The scent of her skin sent shivers down his spine. He wanted her so badly, wishing he could make up for the years they missed in each other’s company. They broke away momentarily to find eyes filled with longing.

“Please allow me to take you on a date tomorrow. Officially. I want to do this right,” he whispered.

She blushed in response, a quality which was rare in Hyehee. Nodding to answer him, to which he pecked her nose, left the two giggling.

“Stay here tonight?” he asked, burying his head in her shoulder, leaving tiny kisses on the exposed part of her shoulder.

“Are you asking or stating?” she questioned breathily.

He chuckled, picking her up suddenly to only turn and throw her back into the bed, hovering over her. “A gentleman would never force his lady. It's a question.”, he whispered in a deep throaty tone that only drove Hyehee further over the edge.

“I want to stay.”

He stared into her eyes. Filled with passion and love for her. His lips came crashing into hers with her approval as he lightly licked her lips, begging for access. Their breath became more haggard as they continued, with tongues darting in and out with pleasure.

His facial hair tickled her soft skin as he kissed the base of her throat, making hyehee tug his hair harder.

Suddenly he whispered. “Breathe”, making her conscious of how she had been holding her breath while he kissed her. He laughed at her old habits. “Still the same, Hyehee. I miss how flustered you would get each time I kissed you.”

“Oh, shut up.” she cried, pulling his collar to get him closer. She was in no mood to stop right now. She needed him. His warmth. His arms around her, his lips on hers.

Baekhyun welcomed her eagerness. His hands moved to her sides, holding her waist, as his lips trailed very close to the valley between her chest. She clawed at his back as his lips nipped at her exposed skin, making her moan. Tugging at his shirt that only seemed to get in the way, he stood up briefly to peel away the garment, tossing it across the room. She admired how beautiful he looked in the golden dimmed light in the room and the silver beams of the moon that seemed to hit him perfectly through the window. She couldn't hold herself back from running her hands down his chest, which was very different from the boy she had met years ago. His strong lean muscular chest and broad shoulders glistened in the night, a soft carving of abs evident under her fingertips. She looked up at him to find him reading her expressions. “I gather it is to your liking?” he joked. This time he came down to kiss her stronger than before. The heat spread through her body, making her moan against his lips. He nipped at her lower lip, sucking on her skin neck, leaving an unavoidable hickey. Her fingers dug into his shoulder in response. Looking up to meet her eyes, he found them filled with passion. He stopped to pepper kisses on her forehead, making her giggle, before settling beside her to pull her closer to him.

Hyehee looked at him, confused. Why would he stop so abruptly? Was something wrong?

“I can't. Not tonight.”, he whispered slowly, answering her thoughts. “I want to do this right.” he sighed into her skin.

“This is right. I feel it.”

He smiled softly. “I know. I feel it too. This is it. You. I will never feel the same with anyone else. I crave you.”

She rubbed her limbs together, frustrated that he would leave her turned on like that. But she didn't want to beg, she left like a spoilt child again, and Baekhyun was schooling her.

“Baekhyun…” she groaned, unable to meet his eyes.

“Yes, baby?” he cooed back.

She didn't answer. All that was to be said was with a kiss. Hyehee climbed on him, her knees on either side of his thighs. Bending to kiss him again, her moves had caught him off guard.

It made it very hard for him. Feeling her heat on his body, her lips on his, his hands unconsciously wandered to her ass, controlling himself enough to bring it back to her hips, where he firmly held her. His body responded to her faster than his head wanted to.

“Hyehee, stop.”, she heard him say as her heart rate quickened with his grip.

She had wanted this for too long to stop anytime soon. She straightened to unbutton her shirt when he held her wrists.

“Hye hee, stop, please.”, he whined.

“Why?” she whined louder. “I don't want to.”

“Do you really want us to start over with sex?” he asked

“I… don't know... I just want you.”, she quietly muttered to herself.

“I want you too. If I didn't know better, I’d have you pinned to his bed this very minute.” he voiced his urge.

Hyehee blushed. “Then, do it.”, she said in a small voice, hitting his chest as embarrassment crept in her. He was only making her feel like a pervert who wanted nothing else but to get in his pants.

Baekhyun licked his lips, the corners of his mouth suppressing a naughty smile. Sitting up, he cuddled her in his lap, “In due time, I’ll have you screaming my name in this room.”

Hye hee’s heart roared in her chest, and she felt her cheeks getting hotter with his words.

He closed the buttons she had managed to open quickly. “Let's sleep? You and I have an appointment to meet an asshole tomorrow.”

Hyehee left the bed, leaving him confused, however.

“What are you doing?”

“Going to bed, as you said.”, she sarcastically answered. She loved being a little tease sometimes. A skill she used on him only. Why? That she never knew.

“Why won't you sleep here?”Baekhyun wondered, getting off the bed.

“Isn't that what you meant?” she said snidely.

He rushed to explain himself, falling into the trap. “No. You… you misunderstood me. I… didn't want us to start… you know…”, he stammered.

She grinned at his flustered face. Baekhyun caught on, proceeding to throw her over his shoulder, bringing her back to bed, smacking her ass. “You little tease. I swear to god.”

“Hey! how is this allowed?” she protested.

“What allowed? There is no ‘allowed’. I didn't set any rules, Hyehee.”

“Okay, I’ll stop. Sorry. Don't be mad.”, she whispered sensually, drawing circles on his chest.

“So this is how it's going to be, huh?”

“Like what?” she bit her lip, grinning.

The night filled with their giggles as Baekhyun knew how to win this one.

Lying with her head on his chest, huddled under the covers, Hyehee shivered in the cold. “Why is the room this cold?”

“I can't seem to find the remote control; come closer to me.” he scooted as close to her as possible.

“Hmm. Toasty.”, she laughed.

Baekhyun had secretly hidden the remote to have her as close to him as possible.

“Baekhyun?”

“Hmm?”

“Why did you stop? You and I both know we wanted this,” she asked, wondering what was running through this man’s brain. Baekhyun was very eager for physical skinship when they were teenagers.

“Because I’ve spent too many years wishing I hadn't done what I did. The universe has been kind enough to let me start over. I’m not fucking this up.”, he whispered in a gritty voice, engulfed with sleep.

He kissed her forehead one more time good night, and the lovers fell asleep in each other's embrace.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The morning sun hit the room a little too intrusively for Hyehee. To her surprise, Baekhyun’s side of the bed was empty, and she hated how cold his side was. How had she lived alone all these years? The thought terrified her. After Baekhyun, she could not approach any other man, with Jaebeom as an exception. She had continued to remain apprehensive with anyone who would show the slightest interest. It always felt as though she would be cheating on Baekhyun and the few dates that Jane had forced her to accept were boring. They never could hold her concentration for more than a few seconds. With Jaebeom, a lot of it felt right. Even then, her love seemed to be forced out. She used him more as a distraction from Baekhyun. How else could she explain the ache she felt in her chest every time she saw him? Why else would the slightest touch make her skin crawl for more? Why did his gaze seem to travel into her soul?

“Morning.” a voice made her jump from the thoughts that had been clouding her.

Baekhyun had crept in to whisper in her ears, her strong response making him wince too.

“Hey, sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.” he stood awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck.

How effortlessly hot he stood across her. He was dressed in his workout clothes. The white t-shirt was wet, clinging to the right spots, defining his chest further, hair wet from the intense exercise session that made him look like a celebrity from those dramas.

He is a celebrity, hye hee. Her brain seemed to roll eyes at her.

Getting under the covers, she exclaimed, “how do you look so hot so early in the morning? While I look like poop!”

Baekhyun chuckled gleefully. “You do not look like poop. I swear to god, with the sun rays lighting up your face like that, you looked like an angel in my bed.” He grabbed the covers, placing a kiss lightly on her forehead before heading in to shower.

Hye hee hurriedly got out of bed. She wanted to fix herself up before he was done washing up. That is when a notebook caught her eye. The pages were all crinkly and something was stuffed in between. Touching the cover, she recognised it instantly. The notebook she had gifted him when he got into SM years ago. Turning a few pages, she discovered that Baekhyun had used it to write songs, a lot of them were struck out, some written in a hurry, all incomplete. Turning to the parting where she found the pen, the words ‘Love Again’ stood out to her.

Deep in my heart, I could not understand why?

You say you love me, but why do you try to run away

Our love is like a race, it can't be stopped, babe

If you leave now, you won’t come back

Please tell me again

Tell me you love me

Don't leave me alone baby

Just stay for the night baby

Say you won't leave me

Tell me your love again

Come back to me again

Tell me your love again

Come back to me again

The door shut quietly, startling Hye hee. She quickly put the book down but Baekhyun was already staring at her. “I’m sorry, I… it looked like the notebook I gave you…” she stammered.

“It is.” he shrugged his shoulders and walked to the book, picking it up. “It is the notebook you gifted.” he turned the page with the pen stuffed in it.

His pupils grew in size, realising what she might have read. The words that he had penned, unfinished, when he most missed her.

“This. did you read it?”

“No!”, she quickly denied but crumbled under his gaze. “Yes, I just might have. Just a few lines,” she admitted.

Closing the book without a word. “I wrote them when I was frustrated…” he muttered without meeting her eye.

Hyehee stood still, unable to understand what would soothe him. She caressed his arm, lightly. “I've missed you terribly. And now this”, she pointed towards them, “it scares me.”

“I know. I’m afraid too. But baby I swear, I would never hurt you again.” he said taking her hand in his. In each other’s embrace, they felt the other’s heart beat against their chest, feeling whole again.

“You know this is going to attract more attention than you require, right?” Hye hee scowled as Baekhyun chose the most expensive car in his parking space.

“Isn't that the point?”, he scoffed.

“You can't even park that in the alley!”

“You wouldn't understand. Fine, I’ll take this beauty.” pointing to a Mercedes Benz.

Hye hee gave up trying to reason, and followed the man into the car.

“Baekhyun, we are there to reconcile. sO, please, do not be rude.”, she warned as they got closer to the cafe.

“I’m not there to reconcile. I’m there to give that ass a piece of my….”

“OK! That's it. I cannot take you with me if you're gonna be this aggressive.”

“Well, I’m here to protect you!”

“He isn't going to lash out…”

“That's what he did last time.”

Hye hee met Minseok outside the cafe while Baekhyun struggled to park his car.

“Is that a Mercedes Benz GT?” he exclaimed, ignoring Hye hee.

“Okay, first off, Hi? And I have no clue what that is… Hey!”

He wasn't listening to her. Heading out, he guided Baekhyun to park in his own personal space and the two stood out admiring the 4 wheels, stepping into deep conversation.

“Wow, who would have thought the two of you as best buds” scoffed Hyehee watching the two enter the cafe with lit up faces.

“He’s a really nice guy!” Baekhyun nodded at Minseok sitting next to her.

“Really? What a startling discovery!” she sarcastically added.

Minseok brought the three of them drinks. “Its on the house!”

“No Minseok I’ll pay. Please don't..”

“Oh c'mon” minseok retorted. “Not everyday do I have celebrities in the cafe.”

“He’s just a human being, Minseok. Would you say something?” she nudged baekhyun who was only beaming at him.

“Hyung, i’ll take this only if you consider me a close friend from now on.” he cheekily replied

Minseok was more than glad to approve this new relationship.

“Waah. Byun Baekhyun. I see why those women fans go crazy over you.” she shook her head in disbelief. “You just took down a man.”

“Well, you for sure can testify to my charms. How else would the class prez fall for her clown classmate.”

She rolled her eyes at him as he watched her amusement all over his face.

Jaebeom and Jane arrived soon. Hye hee met his eyes and she instantly felt grief wash over her. He was beaten.

“Hey” Jane greeted awkwardly. “Hello Baekhyun.”

“Hey.”, she responded in a small voice.

Jaebeom and Hyehee decided to sit in Minseok's little cabin to talk.

The air between them was awkward. With both unable to meet the other’s eye. Both chasing different dragons.

“I’m really sorry, Hyehee.” he finally whispered. “I know anything I say isn't going to help right now. I have no idea what came over me at that moment. It felt insane that you were leaving me. I…”

“It was partly my fault too. What I did to you wasn't right.”

“... I was apprehensive when you called me to the cafe that day. Baekhyun and Taeyeon’s divorce was all over the news and then you…” he slowly continued. “I’m really sorry. How I acted was totally out of line. I…” he looked into her eyes. “For the first time in a while, I actually felt like this could go somewhere…” he muttered.

“And now I see you with him… I understand why.”

“I’m sorry things ended like this between us Jaebeom. I just want you to know that I really like you. I’m truly sorry.” she hung her head in shame.

“Don't have to be sorry for wanting to be with your soulmate, Hye hee. I would probably do the same. I hope you lead a good life together.” he hesitated before putting his hand out. “I hope we can stay friends, Hye hee.”

They shook on it. “Most definitely, I would love to.”

When Jaebeom and Hyehee met with the group once again, Jaebeom felt Baekhyun’s gaze boring into him. The two women decided to order brunch and Jaebeom took the chance to talk it out.

“Hey man. Look. I know you are not liking this one bit…”

Baekhyun scoffed at him.

“... However, I just want you to know, I really liked her. I would not hurt her ever. I’m sorry this even happened.”

“You better never wander around her anymore, Jaebeom.” Baekhyun scathingly replied.

“I’ll try my best. We’ll see each other at work but thankfully we belong to different departments so that will work.”

Hye hee and Jane joined them back and sensed the tension between them.

After a brief few bites, Jaebeom and Jane excused themselves as their parents were visiting them.

“I hope we will be partners again?” Jane cooed at hye hee.

“I missed you.” hye hee replied, hugging her, relieved that she had her best friend back.

“We’ll talk soon okay?”

“Yea, call me.”

“You alright?”Baekhyun rubbed her back as she watched her friend leave.

“Yea. Jane is my life you know. We’ve stuck through the worst. Just imagining life without her was the worst, ever.”

“You imagined life without me and I’m your bestie too.”, he pouted.

“You were my bestie and then you ditched me.”, she scoffed.

“What, am I not your bestie any more?”, he dramatically added, bringing a smile on her face.

“Stop it. Minseok is looking at you!”

“He’s my bestie too….”

She laughed at the dramatic faces he made as she ate her sandwich.

“Umm I was thinking… it's the weekend and you’ll be busy next week…. So, can I take you out on a date for the next two days?”, he asked, wiping off the sauce from the corner of her mouth.

“Two days?” she asked, surprised. “Which date lasts two days?”

Baekhyun came closer to her, whispering, “There’s too much to see and a lot more to do…”

His low voice made her shudder. While he enjoyed how perplexed she looked.

“I’m going to drop you home to pack. We’ll leave at 5 P.M. I’ll make the arrangements.”

“You two want anything else?” Minseok broke the trance the two were in.

Hye hee’s heartbeat quickened as the anticipation grew.
