BAEKHYUN POV.

    I awoke with a jolt, another nightmare. This time it was Heesung telling me that she didn’t even want me as a friend any more, leaving me. I gasped for air as I felt my heart not wanting to slow down any time soon. . I cursed in my head and sat up, looking at my phone. It was past four in the morning and I furrowed my eyebrows. Usually when I have a nightmare Heesung comes and wakes me up, but this time… She didn’t.

    I tiptoed as quietly as I could up to the loft to check on her. Heesung was sleeping quietly on the mattress with the blanket tightly wrapped around her as I slowly walked towards her.

    When I was about to sit down beside the mattress Heesung groaned and moved in her sleep. I stiffened as I saw her eyes slowly flutter open, good god did she look beautiful waking up as well. I gulped when her sleepy eyes met my wide ones.

    “Baekhyun…?” She called in her croaky voice but she still managed to sound perfect in my ears.

    “Did I wake you?” I whispered and slowly sat down on the floor. Heesung shook her head slowly before she sat up with a yawn; I noticed that she was wearing one of my t-shirts that slid off her shoulder exposing her black bra strap that made me smile yet make my face heat up.

    “I had a nightmare…” I muttered and she looked at me with now more awake eyes. “And you didn’t wake me up like usual…”

    “Oh?” She blinked. “I’m sorry.”

    I shook my head and smiled at her. “Heavy dream?” I asked and she sighed. “I’ve been working a lot…” She mumbled. “I’ve been staying up late every day working.” She confessed and I felt my heart clench.

    “Don’t apologize.” I shook my head at her. “I understand.” I did, sometimes I’d hear her typing away on her laptop when I tried to sleep and I felt bad for her.

    “Can I…” I hesitated and awkwardly looked around the dim lit room. I heard her chuckle and shift on the mattress. “Can’t touch me Baekhyun.”

    I pouted, I haven’t even hugged her since our little bet which , but I wanted that kiss, and I will get that kiss. “But-“ She shook her head and gave me an apologetic shrug. I sighed, Heesung seemed like the person to keep her promises and it seemed like she wouldn’t let me off this time.

    “Fine.” I muttered, grouchy. “Just do well on your exams Baekhyun.” She said and laid down again getting comfy under the covers, oh how I so wanted to be next to her now. “Go back to sleep.”

    Grumbling, I did as I was told and got on my feet, slowly making my way down the stairs and into my own room again. I knew that I couldn’t fall back asleep anymore so I just picked up some books and started to study for the upcoming tests.

    When I woke up again I noticed that it was just a few minutes left until my alarm would go off, so turning it off I slowly got out of my bed, books falling off my body as I did so. Is Heesung awake? Was my first thought when I walked out of my room and into the kitchen.

    “Heesung?” I called in a raspy voice and noticed that she was standing right in front of the stove, cooking. She looked up and noticed me. “Good morning.” She smiled and I smiled back and took a seat by my table. “Good morning.”

    “You’re up early.” She said and began whisking something in a bowl. “I know.” I chuckled and just watched her back as she cooked. I was already used to this and I didn’t know if it was bad or not. I could watch her all day in my kitchen, in my place, just wherever I am.

    “Baekhyun?” Her voice pulled me out of my thoughts and looked at her again, her back still facing me while she cooked. “Yes?”

    “What happened the other night?” She asked and I furrowed my eyebrows. What? What happened? I was confused, what was she talking about?

    “What?”

    It looked like she hesitated to answer me and I suddenly got a bad feeling about this. “You know…” She mumbled, loud enough for me to hear. “When we suddenly…”

    Oh, that night! My eyes widened when I remembered. Was she talking about our kiss that we had?

    “Kissed?”

    “Yes.” Now she turned to me while she let something in a frying pan fry, leaning her back on the counter she looked at me with her gray eyes. “It’s just been on my head since then…” She sighed.

    “What are you trying to tell me?” I asked and tried reading her facial expression, but as usual it was quite impossible for me.

    “I don’t know…” She brushed her bangs away from her face. I noticed that the atmosphere around us suddenly changed into something that made my heart pound harder in my chest. “What happened…” She continued. “What happened back then I don’t want it to affect us now.”

    “What do you mean?” I asked, still confused. “Didn’t you feel it too?”

    “I did.” She turned her eyes to the floor. “How did you take it?” She asked and her gray eyes met my brown ones.

     “I-…” How did it take it? What happened back then? She told me to kiss her and I did, and I remember fairly well that she didn’t get mad afterwards, why was she bringing this up now? She doesn’t want it to affect us now? Meaning that we’re still just friends? “I actually don’t know.”

    She sighed. “Baekhyun, please don’t take this wrong but…” Oh, god there’s a ‘but’. I felt my leg starting to shake under the table, anticipating what she was going to say next.

    Heesung quickly turned around to the stove and continued cooking while she was talking to me, and once again I was looking at her back. “But I’d like to pretend it didn’t happen.”

    My heart fell. What? She wants to pretend that nothing ever happened? ”Why?” I asked, trying to hide the fact that I was hurt but I think she knew anyway.

    “You can gladly remember it but my feelings for you aren’t the same that you have for me.”

    I gulped. Did I really have a chance with her? That thought occurred me many times before but I’ve always thought I did. But now… Did I really have a chance with her? Heesung was… Heesung and I know that she deserves someone better than me but I don’t want to see her in another mans arms, than mine.

    “Yet…”

    My eyes widened and I looked at her. What? What did she say? Heesung turned around with a plate and placed it in front of me, my eyes were still on her but it looked like she was trying to avoid eye contact with me. “What did you say?” I asked but she just started placing side dishes on the table as well.

    “What?” She mumbled and finally looked at me but there was something in her eyes that weren’t there before. I couldn’t find a name for it but it made my mood lift.

    “What did you say?” I repeated and she placed a glass of water in front of me as well.

    “I didn’t say anything.” She said and quickly fled to the loft. I heard her, I know I did! Or was my mind playing tricks with me?

    “I’m leaving earlier again.” She said when she walked down carrying her briefcase. “I’ll go to school later.” She began putting her boots on and I turned to her on the chair.

    “I heard you.” I said and I thought I saw her stiffen for a moment before she grabbed her coat. “Heard what?” She asked in a low voice and began zipping up.

    “Your feelings aren’t the same like mine for you…” I said and tilted my head, gazing at her while she picked her briefcase up. “…Yet.”

    She rolled her eyes and a grin started to spread on my lips. “I’ll see you later, Baekhyun.” She said before closing the door behind her.

    So I guess I do have a chance after all! I grinned widely when I turned around and began eating her delicious breakfast. C’mon Byun Baekhyun you can nail these exams!

    Heesung met up with us during lunch. She told us that her exams were done already and that the teacher said she could take her winter break now since she had nothing else to turn in.

    “What?!” I gasped and stared at her when she was done.

    “Noona, daebak.” Sehun gaped.

    “You’re officially my idol.” Suho chuckled and clapped his hands.

    D.O just sat and stared at her with his wide eyes. Heesung smiled. “It’s usually like that.” She shrugged it off casually.

    “I-“ I couldn’t believe it! She finished all her exams already? She was allowed to take her break now? “Just… Wow.”

    Heesung chuckled and started to stand up from her seat. “Now if you excuse me I’ll be heading to the café now.” She said and looked at us. “Good luck on the rest of your exams, D.O, I’ll be seeing you later right?”

    “Yeah.” D.O nodded and waved goodbye to her.

    “Bye, noona!” Sehun waved his arm around, attracting attention from the other students. Heesung just chuckled and left the cafeteria.

    “Unfair.” I grumbled and Suho lightly patted my back. “It’s Heesung we’re talking about.” He said. “It’s kind of expected.”

     “I know but...” I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. “But still.”

HEESUNG POV

Walking out of my brothers’ office after I told him I had winter break already I greeted Youngjae who was busy cooking. “Winter break?” He asked when I walked passed him to the dressing room. “Yeah.” I chuckled and opened the door.

    “Hey.” Yongguk greeted me when I walked out of the kitchen while tying my apron.

    “Still pissed at you.” I said and walked towards him. He just chuckled.

    “How are things going over there?” He asked and leaned over the bar counter.

    “It’s alright.” I shrugged. “I cook for him when I can as a thank you.” Yongguk smiled.

    “I see.” He nodded. “Have you gotten him a present yet?”

    “Yupp.” I nodded and he grinned. “May I ask what?”

     I shook my head and chuckled. “Nope.” Then I left him by the bar and walked towards the door where Kevin was standing.

    When I walked into the kitchen to give Youngjae my order I noticed that D.O had arrived, smiling I walked towards him. “Hey, mind if you take this?” I asked and he turned around. “Ah, sure!” He smiled widely and read it. I turned around and found Youngjae smiling and I smiled back before leaving them. I actually noticed that I wasn’t that needed at the café and asked my brother if I could leave. “Sure.” He said and told me to dress warm since it was cold outside. And boy was he right; it was windy as well when I left the café. Hurrying towards the bus stop I squeezed my knuckles trying to keep them warm, lucky for me the bus just arrived when I came. Shivering, I took my usual place in the back and looked out the window. It was the kind of cold that stung your skin when it hit you in the face.

    Feeling my phone vibrate I checked who texted me. It was my brother telling me to be careful since it might be a snowstorm tonight. Sighing, I told him to take care of himself as well before I turned my attention out the window again.

BAEKHYUN POV

Where is she? I paced around my living room. I heard on the news that it’d be a snowstorm tonight and it was past eight. Don’t tell me she’s in another meeting! I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. Or is she with that Kris guy? The thought made me frown. There’s something between Kris and Heesung I know it, Something that she didn’t have with any of the other guys! But she said they weren’t dating…

    I glanced at the clock on my wall where it stood that it was soon eight-thirty. I turned to my windows and noticed that it was dark outside and the wind blew passed my windows, howling as they blew. My eyes widened when I heard my door open and heavy footsteps entered.

    “Heesung?!” I called and literally ran towards the hallway. I gasped when she took of her coat and saw that all she was wearing was a thin sweater, a skirt and black tights. Was she crazy?! “I’ve been worried! Where were you?” I asked and took her bag from her, placing it on the couch.

    “There was a small accident that happened on the way here, I was sitting on the bus and my phone died.” She said and walked passed me, cold air hit my bare arm when she walked up the stairs. “But you’re alright?” I asked and she walked down the stairs again holding her makeup bag.

    “Yes.” She gave me a faint smile and walked into my bathroom. My eyebrows furrowed as I heard the water running. The door opened and her head peeked out. “Mind if I take a warm bath in your tub?” She asked and I chuckled while walking towards her.

    “Of course.” I told her and she smiled at me before disappearing behind the door.

    After studying for a while I walked out of my room and lightly knocked on the bathroom door. “Yes?” She asked through the door. “Are you ok in there?” I asked and leaned my forehead on the door. “I…” I waited till she continued. “I actually need a little help.” She sounded a little embarrassed and I felt my cheeks heating up. “O-Ok?”

    “I placed my towel to far away.”

    My eyes widened. “D-Do you…” I gulped. “Do…”

    “Can you come in and give it to me please?”

     Why did I suddenly feel embarrassed? I’ve basically walked in on her showering before, of course she had the shower curtains on why wouldn’t she not have it now? Slowly opening the door all I heard was the water splashing lightly on the other side of my blue shower curtains. “It’s beside the sink.” She said and I turned my head where I saw her folded white towel laid. “Can you put it on the stool here?” She asked and her hand peeked out from behind the curtains, pointing towards the white stool in the corner, beside the tub. “Sure.” I said and placed her towel on the stool. “Heesung?” I said through the shower curtains. “Can I…” I hesitated and suddenly felt my cheeks heat up. “Can I stay here for a moment? Sitting on the floor?”

    She didn’t say anything at first but then she said. “Sure, it’s your bathroom.” I smiled and saw down beside the tub, on my fluffy bathroom carpet. “Why did you want to sit there Baekhyun?” I heard her ask.

    “I don’t know.” I mumbled and scratched the back of my head. “I was… I was just worried when I heard that there was storm and you weren’t home yet.” I confessed and I heard her giggle, oh how I love that sound from her.

    “I appreciate you worrying about me Baekhyun.”

    Then we just sat there in silence, me leaning my back on the wall close to the tub listening to the soft water splashing from behind the curtains. “Hey, Baekhyun?”

    “Hmm?” I answered.

    I heard the water splashing as she shifted in the tub. “I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings this morning.” She mumbled and I raised my head from the wall. “It’s just that… ” She paused and I kept silent waiting for what else she had to say. “I was just confused for what happened.” I heard her sigh. “I’m sorry.”

    “It’s alright.” I told her. “I was confused as well. But I’m glad that you could feel what I felt too.” I smiled and faced the ceiling. I suddenly heard the shower curtain rustling and turned my head only to gasp and literally slap my self in the face with my palms, turning and looking away. Heesung had slid the curtain to the side and leaned her arm and chin on the edge of the tub, looking at me. “I-I… Uh…” I felt my face heat up as I kept my eyes covered by my hands. I heard her chuckle. “It’s alright Baekhyun, you can look.”

   Clearing my throat and slowly removing my hands from my face, I hesitated for a while before I just faced her while trying to keep my eyes anywhere but her. But I noticed that she was just watching my embarrassment and decided to look up and meet her eyes.

    She was looking at me with an amused expression, her arms on the edge of my tub leaning her chin on her forearm, her hair in a messy bun with wet strands that stuck onto her shoulders and the sides of her face, she was surrounded by big bubbles that covered the water.

     “What happened was kind of weird right?” She asked and tilted her head. I awkwardly looked away before turning back to her. “Yeah, a bit.” I scooted closer towards the tub and was surprised that she didn’t mind. Was she used to this as well because of those giant maknaes? I pushed the thought away before I could even frown at it. I was now close to her with my back facing the tub; leaning back I let the back of my head, rest on the edge of my tub. “But I don’t entirely regret it though.”

    I turned to her and noticed that she wasn’t leaning on the edge anymore but leaning her back on the corner of the tub, a bar arm resting on the edge. “What?” I asked and furrowed my eyebrows; surprised that I didn’t feel that embarrassed any more by seeing her bare shoulders. She looked down for a moment at the bubble-covered water in front of her that reached her collarbones. “You’re not that bad of a kisser.” She mumbled and kept her eyes down. “Oh, really?” Now that made a wide grin spread on my lips when I kept my eye on her. She thought I kissed well! Whoa! Even thought that surprised me I couldn’t help but grin widely at her as she stared embarrassed at the bubble-covered water. I didn’t let the blush that I felt creep onto my cheeks stop me from smiling. “Why thank you.” I said and she scoffed before looking up. “Don’t let it get to your head Byun Baekhyun.” She said with a small frown on her lips but I saw that her cheeks were slightly pink. I don’t know if it was because she was blushing or because of the warm water but she looked pretty anyways.

    “Well I’ll just remember that till next time.” I said and closed my eyes when I faced the ceiling again.

   “Next time?” I heard the confused tone in her voice.

   “Next time I kiss you.” I grinned for my self.

   “Yah!” I heard the water splashing behind me.

    I couldn’t help but laugh. “Or… When I win our little bet and you’ll start calling me Mr. Byun Baekhyun for a week.”

    I laughed when I heard her whine behind me. “Why did I agree on that…”

    “You can’t back down now, Heesung.” I wiggled my shoulders. “I’ve been studying hard for that kiss.”

    “I-“ She was about to say something but then sighed deeply. That’s when I felt my ear being filled with water. “Yah!” I yelped and lifted my shirt to my ear that was dripping yet, as well as the side of my face and neck. She just chuckled while leaning back into the tub, sinking into the warm water until only her head and shoulders were seen.

    “Oops.” She innocently shrugged and smiled at me.
