NARRATOR

“You lovers need some sweet quality time together. Like a reunion ar something.” Chunji commented, grinning from ear to ear, as the two of you walked out the shop. You awkwardly looked from side to side and shot Chunji a glare.

“Stating the obvious here.” He raised his palms up and smiled.

“Hello, I’m Lee Chanhee.” He beamed, hand outstretched towards Baekhyun. Baehkhyun smiled and shook it. “Baekhyun. Byun Baekhyun.” He replied.

“I know.” Chunji grinned and looked at you playfully. “I know.” He repeated, chuckling.

“I’ll kill you later.” You seethed. Chunji batted his lashes. “I better hide.”

You two ended up at your Guangzhou mansion. Baekhyun pinched the bridge of his nose as you told him what Yura told you.

“You… never told me about Yura, Oppa.”

Baekhyun looked up and met your eyes, as if his eyes would do the explaining. “Hee…” He started, baffled at the story Yura made up.

“Everything she told you, she all made that up.”

You looked away, breaking eye contact. Your fingers fiddled on the pillowcases beside you. “But I saw your letters.”

“Letters?”

“The letters you wrote for her.”

Baekhyun scoffed. Creases formed on his forehead. “Hee, I never wrote any letters to her.”

Your yues felt stingy at the moment. You grabbed the Ipad beside you and viewed the image you had been avoiding since you saw it. “This..” You whispered, letting Baekhyun see the image. His eyes recognized the image as soon as he saw it.

He laughed bitterly. “She also sent you that?”

Your brows furrowed. Everything confused you. You just looked at him with confusion in your eyes, and pain.

“She called me to meet her in a café. She told me she would never make me happy. She hugged me, threatening to make things harder if I disobey. When I did, she made a scene and pushed me away, as if I hugged her in the first place.”

“I…”

“I was afraid Hee. I was afraid she’d touch you. That she’d hurt you. That she’d ruin us.”

“Why would she do that?”

Baekhyun looked down for a while before answering. “Let’s start from the very beginning.”

Baekhyun told you everything. His high school days, the days he spent with Yura, the day she acted differently and stuff. Until the part where he had no choice but to send her to the hospital.

You blinked, still absorbing what you all heard. “Why… didn’t you tell me?”

“I was going to, Hee. Before you left, that was my plan. But at first, when I saw Yura, I thought she’d already gotten over the past, but I guessed wrong.”

You remained silent. Deep inside, you felt guilty after everything that you heard. Even seeing Yura’s e-mail sent to Baekhyun, the one with the warning. You felt unworthy, and most of all, weak.

“Please believe me.” Baekhyun pleaded.

You looked at him, expressionless. For a moment he thought he lost you, when a tear rolled down your cheek. Your lip trembled as you spoke. “I… I was afraid.”

Baekhyun softened. He approached you and kneeled in front of you, levelling has face with yours. He wiped the tear with his thumb. “Shhh. Don’t cry.” He shushed, as you started sobbing in his arms.

“I’m sorry, I was afraid of the truth. I feel unworthy, for even doubting you.” You cried.

Unconsciously, tears also fell from his eyes. “I’m sorry too, Hee. I should’ve told you earlier.”

He slowly pulled away and cupped your chin. “Don’t run away again, arraso?” He smiled, tears streaming down his cheeks. You nodded. “I won’t, ever.”

Baekhyun’s heart soared as he looked at you. “Hee, you know what?”

You looked at him, anticipating an answer.

“You’re the only one, and I love you so much.” With that he gently pressed his lips on yours.

Baekhyun placed his forehead on yours and stared at your orbs. “Will you… be mine again?” He whispered. You smiled, even though you just wanted to squeal your heart out.

“I always was, and still am.”

The door burst open. You quickly pulled away from Baekhyun. Baekhyun chuckled lightly.

Chunji looked baffled. He was touching the nape of his neck, his eyes widened and his forehead creased.

“I’m sorry to interrupt, but there’s an emergency.” He breathed out.

You and Baekhyun  looked at him, nervous.

“It’s L.joe.”
