FINALE

Gotcha Heart

"Lift your arm in an angle. Any pain?"

Tilting his head to the side, Baekhyun tried to feel it even more as he lifted his right arm. "It just feels weird, a bit... But it's fine." He answered and glanced at the doctor. Well we could have waited for a few more days but you insisted today, Baekhyun-ah." SM's special doctor said while chuckling. "Doc, I'm getting married tomorrow. Don't you get that? And I promise, it feels fine already." Baekhyun said and grinned while glancing at his soon-to-be wife - tomorrow - Sarah. "Well anyway, your before and after x-ray results are way lot different, it has improved gradually." The doctor explained while pointing some parts on the X-ray. "I can suggest a sling to still wear it to be sur-"I'm totally strong now, I promise." Baekhyun lifted both of his arms and nodded eagerly. "Aish, so stubborn." Sarah murmured and slapped his lap lightly. "Yah~ Guys, understand me. I'm a groom tomorrow. I can't look injured." Baekhyun tried explaining. "I have a very beautiful bride; I need to level up." He added making Sarah have a goofy smile and pushed him off by the shoulder gently. "But still if you feel any pain after this day on-" Doc I promise. From the bottom of my heart, I feel so fine right now." Baekhyun said. Sarah tapped his right forearm making him wince. "Yah! Watch out!" He whined and hid it. "See? He isn't fine yet." Sarah said.

"It's because the skin is still adjusting alright? See how small my right forearm looks like compared to the other one? But it's fine, it just needs times to go back to normal, geez..."

In the end, the mighty groom won the battle. The doctor just gave him a few more mild relievers if ever he feels anything weird and in case of emergency, he gave Sarah the sling - not to Baekhyun cause the man's so stubborn, he might even throw it out. And since his profession technically needs a lot of movements, the doctor still appointed him to a few more schedules of therapy before he could go back to practicing and concerts. Living the clinic, Baekhyun excitedly held Sarah's hand with his finally free forearm and was grinning. "Oppa, remember later we will soak your arm in warm water. The doctor said to do it at least twice a day until the skin and texture comes bac-" Chillax~ Alright? I'm fine." Baekhyun said. He pulled down his long sleeves and wiggled his eyebrows before looking straight ahead. "Oppa, not because your cast is removed means you're gonna be all childish and restless again. You can't play around for a w-" Sarah's words were cut off when Baekhyun held on the back of her neck and lightly pressed his lips on hers. "My ever-so-paranoid future wife, I promise I will still refrain from moving too much. Until your majesty allows me." He said and tapped the tip of her nose before walking off while holding her hand along. The couple arrived out to the parking lot of the hospital and walked straight to their car. "Can I drive?" Baekhyun asked earning a scary glare from Sarah as she quickly skipped to the driver's area before Baekhyun could.

"Yah, why the hell are you running, be careful. Baby Eomma."

"Hihi~ Baby eomma is jumpy today." Sarah answered and stuck her tongue out before entering the car. As the car began moving, Baekhyun stretched his arms gently while glancing at Sarah. "I wanna go somewhere." He said. "Where?" Sarah asked briefly glancing at him before focusing back to the road. "Haneul's café." He answered which left Sarah speechless for a little while. "I wanna check the place where I first met you." Baekhyun added casually while running his fingers through his hair. "And I haven't met Haneul in a long time because we're too busy. That can't be. If not because of him, I might not be getting married tomorrow." Sarah bit her lower lip as she felt her tears already forming. His words, his tone sounded so casual but it made her heart pound so much. "I need to thank him at least. In a way, I owe him my life too. I kept thinking about it, what if he didn't invite me that night... would I have met you?' He continued talking in between chuckles. "Do you still remember our first interactions?" Sarah asked with her slightly shaky voice. "Yeah... kind of. It was so awkward. I remember you... pointing at me because I was wearing a mouth mask." Baekhyun answered and laughed. "Geez, I thought you were so disrespectful that time." He added.

"I know... I wasn't that aware of what I was doing that time."

"And then when you introduced yourself..." Baekhyun stared in a daze with a light smile. "You were like, 'I'm Sarah Jacobs nice to meet you.... Sarah HONG Jacobs.' Or something like that." He added. Sarah giggled while driving then she reached one hand towards his that was placed on his lap. "Aigoo... it was indeed... nice meeting you." Baekhyun murmured dreamily and heaved a sigh. The atmosphere turned so silent but it was comfortable, as if the couple were having their own school of thoughts about some of their memories. Sarah didn't even notice herself indeed driving to that one café that thankfully, is still running up to this date. "Wow..." Baekhyun let out a flustered chuckle as he stared at the place from the window. Sarah parked and made a blowfish, her tears were already forming. The couple got out and hand in hand, they got into the café. Right away, they looked around the almost empty atmosphere as they walked straight into the cafe's bar area - lunch time just ended and people don't usually go for coffees at these times maybe. "Oh?~ Baekhyun-ah!" A voice made them turn to the side and there was Baekhyun's friend, Haneul who was carrying a baby. He's already been married to Sarah's friend, Yeona for almost a year now. "Wow~ Nice to see you again, bro." The two guys made a fist pump and Baekhyun waved a hand at the baby. "Wow, he so looks like you, man." He said and high fived with Haneul.

"And you~ Sarah ssi, it's been so long. And your tummy~ wow."

Haneul took his time to stare at the couple and couldn't help but to let out a heartfelt chuckle. "Wow. Who would have thought... and tomorrow's the big day right? We got your invitation a week ago. Wah, seriously... This is daebak." He said and shook his head in amusement. Baekhyun and Sarah both looked away while chuckling. "This is making me emotional." Sarah muffled in between snigger and wiped the side of her eyes. "Well anyway~ Yeona actually left a while ago cause she forgot something in the house. She left our baby here for a while but she's coming back, Sarah. How about you two take a seat for a while and I'll make your orders? What is it?" Haneul asked. Baekhyun and Sarah stared at each other for a while before letting out their airy chuckles. Then they turned to Haneul again before speaking at the same time, "Caramel Latte. Hot." They said earning a stifled laughter from Haneul before nodding. Baekhyun the grabbed Sarah's hand and dragged her to that spot where they first hanged out at. Once they were both seated - at the exact place and position there were at before - Sarah began crying for real. "Y-yah..." Baekhyun reached his hand across the table and held hers. "I just can't believe this all... W-we were just... we were so far from... this before." Sarah forced a chuckle while looking away and was wiping her unstoppable tears streaming down her cheeks. Baekhyun slowly retreats his hand back as he also felt emotional now.

"W-well... I guess you're right. You didn't even have any idea about me before. I remember you mentioning Arashi comparing to me."

Sarah stifled a laugh as she looked down completely to the table and wiped her eyes with the sleeves of her jacket. "Yeah... Arashi." She said and the couple did a high-five. It got silent again afterwards their eyes were simply looking around the café. "I'm so happy..." Sarah muffled while biting on her lower lip. Hearing it, Baekhyun got silent for a while as a smile crept up to his lips. He then looked up to her and spoke, "Why are you happy?" Sarah got speechless for a while as the exact same sentence he just said made her remember their first meeting as well. He also asked her that and she remembers answering, 'Nothing' to him that time. So looking up, another tear trickled down her cheek before she managed to speak. "Because you're in front of me..." She answered. Baekhyun chuckled back and put a hand over his forehead, he placed his elbow on the table and massaged his temples for a few times. "Wae?" Sarah asked. "I don't know why we're being like this..." He muttered and Sarah's heart pounded hearing his shaky voice. Sniffing faintly, Baekhyun looked back at her again and grabbed both of her hands across the table. "Thank you..." He said and Sarah nod and this time, she tried her best not to cry and just looked back at him. He then continued speaking with his cracked voice,

"There were... a lot of reasons to give up on me... neither to hold onto me... I was never a good man to you, I admit. It was so wrong... at how we started. It was... all for my benefit. You barely got any..."

He looked down when he buckled to finish his sentence and let out a faint sob. Sarah shook her head and held back his hand as tight as he was holding her. "You alone... were my benefit. Up until now, you are." She said. Baekhyun shook his head as he struggled to catch his breath. Haneul who was at the bar actually finished the couple's orders already but he chose to give them some space for a while seeing their state, he even told some of his staffs to avoid looking at the couple to give them respect. "Until now I always wonder... what if you weren't that persistent... If you weren't that... understanding... w-would I have you right now? Would I be happy like I am right now?" Baekhyun asked and that's when Sarah stood up to go sit next to him instead and pulled him in for a hug. He hugged her so tight while sobbing like a kid. "You're the one who built us together... and I w-want to thank you so much for that..." He cried out. Sarah then pulled away from the hug just enough for her to cup Baekhyun's face.

"I might have built it... but you're the one who maintained it fresh and new... It's all nothing without the both of us... O-okay?"

Baekhyun eagerly nodded before capturing her lips for a very loving kiss. It was just a quick lingering lip-lock before they both pulled away while wiping each other's tears. "Aigoo, my crybaby is back." Sarah said and let out a hearty chuckle. Baekhyun smiled and looked down to her baby bump and began it. "And this one coming... will strengthen it more." He said. Sarah softly laughed as she nodded and cupped his face again. "The two of us with our future children... will work hard to keep our home strong and firm." He continued, his eyes remained down to her tummy. "Our home..." Sarah nodded before leaning close to capture his lips for a real kiss this time.  They both pulled away after a few seconds and chuckled while sniffing, having their very red noses already. "Aigoo, I didn't come here to cry." Baekhyun said while rubbing his finger under his nose and glanced at the bar. "Haneul?" He called and the guy turned. "You okay now, guys?" The man asked. "Yes, we are." Sarah answered and chuckled. So Haneul finally served them their Latte's. "You two being so emotional the day before your wedding. It's pretty normal." Haneul said while placing their mugs on the table. "But doing it at such memorable place is really something. Enjoy your coffee with a smile." He added with a slight chuckle before walking away with the tray.

"Oppa."

Glancing at his fiancée, Baekhyun grabbed the mug of Latte and lightly bumped it against Sarah's, as toast before taking a small sip. "I actually went to my OB the other day when you went to SM to warm up your vocals." She said. "Really? It isn't your schedule yet right?" Baekhyun asked. "I know but I called my OB beforehand that I want to make a special appointment cause I can't wait anymore..." She said. "Wait for what? After the wedding, we go to your scan day and then go straight to Bali for honeymoon. We planned it properly." Baekhyun explained. "Yes but... I c-couldn't wait... since Doc and I have become personally close and friends... you know... it was an easy talk. I couldn't wait to find out the gender." She said. Baekhyun got silent for a while and blinked. "S-so... you did?" He asked. "Yes." Sarah nodded while grinning wide. "Oh , you did? What is it??" Baekhyun asked with his growing grin and held on her shoulders. Sarah bit her lower lip and stared up to him for a few seconds. "Yah~ What is it??" Baekhyun asked again and looked down to Sarah's tummy. "Doc struggled for a while to determine the s but... she managed to do it after a few tries. And it's..." Sarah murmured slowly which made Baekhyun even more impatient. "What what what what what..." He muffled continuously while nodding.

"It's Dongyul."

Baekhyun's lips parted open and got stiff for a while. He couldn't believe Sarah's dream could happen for real. "B-boy... Oh boy... Wow—boy..." Baekhyun reached his hand onto his scalp while letting out a barely audible laugh. "Byun Dongyul. Aka Daniel Byun." Sarah uttered and Baekhyun couldn't help but to squeak at that name. "I know you want a girl... but I ho—“It doesn't matter and also... I only want a girl cause I like the thought of having a child who looks like you..." Baekhyun cut her off with a shy grin. "But a boy... WOW I have a new playmate." He added earning a smug chuckle from Sarah. "And it's good too, Kyungsoo's Hyejin will have a boyfriend." Sarah said making Baekhyun raise his eyebrow. "Really now?~ You think our Dongyul will pass through Kyungsoo?" He asked and the couple did a high-five. "Anyway..." Sarah grabbed her mug of latte and took a light speak before looking at Baekhyun again. "I visited Nabi in their house as well the other day after going to my OB. She's been staying more in bed, her due's in like... two months? She might have a C-section because of Hyejin's position in her tummy right now but it depends... Oppa, how about me, what do you think?" She asked. "Well... it depends too, you know." Baekhyun answered while sipping into his latte. "Yeah, I can handle both but I kinda like normal delivery more." Sarah said while glancing at him.

"It doesn't matter whether they take him out from your vajayjay, from your tummy, or from your mouth as long as you're both alive. None of you can leave Appa. Alright?"

"Geez... really, from my mouth?? You're disgusting."

"That's our baby, and you're disgusted? How cruel."

"I'm just being logical. Okay fine, try to imagine it happening to you. C'mon imagine it Oppa. Your water breaking into your mouth first and then you go to labor and our little cutie Dongyul coming out of your mouth alive and kicking with some bloody fluids and his placenta too. C'mon."

"EAW-NO Wait, what did you put into my head—eaw that's—yuck! Ugh! Sarah what the hell. You know how active my imaginations are—ugh no, yuck yuck yuck... Geez, I hate you."

"Now who's cruel."
