I was on my way to my favorite spot before Coffee Lab -- Purple Record of course. I was singing Angel again. I was happily walking when someone started to sing.. "Yeongwonhan sarmeul irheotdaedo haengbokhan iyu Naui yeongwon ijen geudaeinikka eternally love" I was shocked, his voice and the voice behind Angel were so alike. I eyed him. He's wearing Purple beanie, white shirt, black jeans and white chucks. Purple beanie? It reminds me of the stranger back then. "You're good." I said And started walking again. "Hey! Wait up!" "What do you want?" Now he's standing really close to me. I can see he's wearing thick eyeliner. But it suits him well. "I just want to hear your voice again." "My voice? Can't you hear me now that I'm talking?" "No. I want to hear you sing Angel AGAIN." "What?" I raised an eyebrow "I heard you singing at Purple Record for the first time. Your voice reminds me of a true Angel." "What? You must hear yourself mister. You're funny." "I'm not joking. I heard you sing again in that shop." *He pointed at the Music Instruments Shop were I actually recorded my version of Angel.* "I'm sure it was you. I can never forget that voice." "First, Purple Record, second, that shop, are a stalker?" "Well, you can say that, part of me really want to stalk you but I didn't. I went to Purple Record to check for something. And about that shop, my friend Chanyeol wants to buy new guitar so I went with him. And there I saw you, singing and playing the grand piano. It was the best." "So you're trying to say that we're destined right?" "Haha. I guess so." "Okay. I got something to do. Goodbye." I left him again. For the nth time. "No, I can't let you this time. No way I'm going to let you go." "What?" "Nothing. Just let me stay beside you." "Bodyguard?" He nodded I don't want to argue to this little creature. Cute things are my weakness. And he's on the list. Maybe cute like him won't do something terrible right? Just wish. "Suit yourself purple beanie." "Can I ask you something?" "You're already asking." He scratches the back of his neck. Feeling shy? Gaaah. I want to squeeze his cheeks. "So what is it?" "Where are we going?" "Purple Record." "What for?" "I'm going to buy my cousin an EXO album." "EXO album?" He looked shocked "Hmm. Yeah. Why? Are you a fan?" "Ahh. No. How about you? Are you?" "No. I don't even know them." *chuckles I continued "The first time my cousin said it I thought she's referring to a candy." "Candy?" I nodded and took out 2 pieces of X.O coffee candy from my pocket and gave him one. "That's what I'm talking about. X.O right?" He was amazed. I must say, He's a total cutie. "My turn to ask." "Sure!" "Your name silly. I feel like I'm talking to a total stranger. Hahaha!" "Oww. How pabo am I! I forgot to introduce myself. Waaa!" He kicked the little rock beside him. He's showing his cuteness again. I swear, if he can't hide his cuteness, I can't resist myself from pinching his cheeks! "I'm Baekhyun." He offer his hand. "Bacon? Wow. What a yummy name." He pouted. I shook his hand. "Demise. I swear you'll regret acting cutely in front of me." "Why?" "I might eat you, purple BACON." I laughed and walked again. "It's BAEK-HYUN! Not BACON!" He catched up and I just give him mehrong. I can see that he's smiling. Oh God. I really can't. I give up. I stopped from walking earning a curious look from him. "Why? Is there anything wrong?" He asked "Come here Bacon." He did what I said. I smiled and put up my hands. Then I pinch his cheeks really hard that he screamed so loud. "WAAAAAAA! Appa! Appa!" I laughed and run towards the Purple Record, run fast so he won't catch me. He probably will get revenge on me. We arrived at the Purple Record, panting. We laughed between our breathing. Thinking how childish we are. "Annyeong haseyo!" The ahjusshi greet us. "Hello ahjusshi! How are you?" I asked "Fine fine missy. You are you with?" "Ahh. Him? My bodyguard." "Ya!" -That's him "What? You told me so. *mehrong" "So what do you need today missy?" Ahjusshi asked "Oh. An EXO album please." "So you're going to buy the album because of Angel?" Ahjusshi asked "Angel?" "Yes. EXO were the one behind the voice." "Mwo?! Jinjja?" Ahjusshi nodded "By the way, it's out of stock." He continued "Really ahjusshi? It's out of stock?" Bacon asked "Yes. Group of students bought it all last week. And we run out of supply so we request to our supplier to bring more." "When will they deliver it to you?" I asked "Next next week." He answered "Waaaaa. No. I need it this friday ahjussssssshiii!" "Sorry missy. We just have to wait." I sighed. "Okay ahjusshi. Thank you." We left the shop. And I'm depressed. "Yah. You okay?" He asked "Ohh." (Yes) "Where will we go next?" "Coffee Lab." "Sure!" "I work there. No need to be excited." "Really? Then I should visit that more often." I'm quiet the whole time. I'm such a pabo not knowing the singer of my favorite song. And their album was so freaking out of stock right now. Lucky lucky. -- We arrived at the Coffee Lab. "Thanks for today. I got to go." "Why are you so down?" "Naah. I should buy the album. My cousin really wants it. So she asked me. It was supposed to be on friday, that I'll be delivering it to the Philippines. But now.. *sighed" "You're sad because of that?" "Ya! I can't disappoint her!" "Okay okay. What time your shift will end?" "10." "Okay. Wait me here okay?" "Why?" "It's a secret. You must wait for me. Okay?" "Okay.." "Go, you'll be late." "Okay. Goodbye." "No, it should be see you." "Whatever Bacon! *smile* I'll go~ Take care." I turn back and begins to walk to the cafe suddenly, I felt his arms around me. "Thank you" He whispered "Thank you too! I must be going now.." He let me go, and I hear him say "See you later!" "Okay!" I answered without looking back. I'm melting with his sweetness. -- 10PM Shift ended I fix my things as well as myself. I rushed to exit the cafe. There, I saw him. Wearing the same purple beanie. But he's with the stranger look again. I mean, all black. "Hey. What's with the outfit?" I tap his shoulder "Oh. There you are. Nothing. I just feel like wearing it." "Ohkaaay~" "Where do you want to go?" "I must go home." "Not yet, it's Sunday tomorrow and you don't have classes neither work." "You're such a stalker bacon!" "Haha. Let's go?" "Where to?" "I don't know? Let's just walk?" "Okay." -- We stopped at the icecream store. "Let's go? My threat!" "Sure!" I had caffe latte flavor and he got strawberry. We started walking again until we reached the park. We decided to stay there and rest while eating icecream and looking at the sky. What a wonderful night with a caffe latte flavored icecream and a bacon. We finished the icecreams and stayed quiet. Just staring at the sky. Appreciating its beauty. He begun to sing my favorite song.. *** I joined him for I want to sing with him. After the song, I break the silence "You know, your voice and the singer sounds the same." "Because I'm one of them." "MWO?!" "I'm a part of EXO." "You what?!" "I'm Byun Baekhyun. Lead singer of EXO, the new band, and one of the singer of your favorite song." "You got to be kidding me." He took out something from his bag and gave it to me. "What's this?" "Two copies of our album. One for your cousin, and one of you. I got it with hand signed from the members. You're cousin must be really happy." I checked it out. And almost died when Bacon's face is in the album. "So you're really one of them.." I blurted "Can we sing again?" "What?" "Your version first then the original one." "Okay." I smirked "Why?" "It's funny that I love Angel, when my name means death. /chuckles" "Doesn't matter. For me you're an angel." "For me, you're a purple stalker bacon!" -- We did sing until we felt tired. And he talked. "Do you have something that you're obsessed of?" "Yeah. Music. Coffee. And the everything that is purple." "Really?" "Do I look kidding?" He removed his purple beanie and put it on my head. "There you go. Purple check! What more? Music? We did sing earlier so, music check! The last thing is coffee. Do you have X.O candy?" "Yeah. Why?" "Can I have one?" "Ugh. Okay." I gave him one and he tears the wrapper then swallow it. For seconds he did not speak. Maybe enjoying the pleasure of X.O candy. Then he smiled. I literally died in my place. Rest in peace, Demise. "Why are you smiling?" "Nothing. My lips now were like coffee that you're addicted with because I ate coffee candy." "So what?" He suddenly moved in front of me and kissed my forehead. I froze. I was shocked. "Coffee check!" He said "What was that?" I said "A kiss on forehead?" "Why?" "So you'll be addicted on me too." "Wow. You wish Bacon!" "Hahaha! I got you." "How about you? Do you have any obsessions?" "You. Your voice." "Haha. That's one of my secret." "Hmm?" "You're voice is so precious that I became addicted in hearing it. Makes me want to sing everytime I hear it. That's my secret. We'll probably not anymore." "We're addicted with our voices. *laughs" "Haha. It's a bit complementing. Knowing that the voice you adore, likes your voice too." "Not like! Love!" *pout "So childish Bacon!" He smiled. "You know, I really love your voice." I confessed "And I really love you too." He said directly, looking to my eyes. "Wh--?" He got me again. He kissed my forehead again and my cheeks. "Ya! I didn't allow you!" "From now on, you'll be addicted to my kisses, and eventually to me too." "Just your voice! Besides I won't get addicted to you. No way." "But you can't resist my cuteness." "CUTE your face!" "Yeah I know I'm cute." "If you're cute then the meaning of cuteness is now ewwness." "You're so bad!" "Really am!" He embrace his legs and buried his face. I started to hear sobs and sniffs after that. Is he crying? What the hell? How can he cry like that? I was just joking! "Hey.. Are you.. crying?" I moved a little to tap his shoulder. But then the sobbing goes louder. "Bacon! You're really crying? Waaa. Eottoke? I'm sorry! Really sorry!" I continued "I didn't know that you're that sensitive. I won't joke around next time. I'm sorry. Stop crying now!" He's not answering. Just sobbing! What a cry baby! Tsk. "What do you want? Want me to treat you icecream? Or I'll sing you a song?" "hsjdhwkduwodh" "What?" "I said BOTH." He commanded "Whoa. Spoiled brat. Okay. Want song?" "Any." "Can't think of any song right now. Waaaa." "Any english song." He's talking but his face still digs on his legs. You know? The kid's crying position. "Okay. I'll buy you icecream after. Imma sing you My Heart of Paramore." I started singing with all my heart. "I am finding out that maybe I was wrong That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone Stay with me, this is what I need, please? Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you We could sing our own but what would it be without you? I am nothing now and it's been so long Since I've heard the sound, the sound of my only hope This time I will be listening. Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you We could sing our own but what would it be without you? This heart, it beats, beats for only you This heart, it beats, beats for only you This heart, it beats, beats for only you My heart is yours This heart, it beats, beats for only you My heart is This heart, it beats, beats for only My heart is yours This heart, it beats, beats for only you My heart, my heart is yours My heart is yours (Please don't go now, please don't fade away) My heart is..." "I'm done. Will you stop crying now?" He raised his head and moved towards me. I was so shocked seeing him tearless. I mean like, what the did just happened? I'm sure that he's crying a while ago! "I really like the way you sing." And from that he kissed the side of my lips. Well, almost my lips, but still, no. He stood up and started running away like a child. "Bacon!!!! You'll pay!!! You almost stole my first kiss you freak!!" "I did?" We just chase each other until we get exhausted. "I'll just steal your first kiss if you tell me you love me." He said "I love. YOUR VOICE freak. Hahaha!" "I'll make you realized that you're addicted to me." "Do what you want, but please no more stolen kisses!" "Okay. I'll let you know next time!" "There will be no next time!" "There is!! Buy me icecream now!" What a spoiled brat, fake crying baby. We went to the icecream shop and eat there. We spent almost a day today. What more could I ask for? And there, Feelings are mutual. I love his voice, his cuteness and being childish. He told me he loves me, but I can't reply back. Was it too early? But who cares? We have a long way to go. Maybe someday, I will be able to be sure of these feelings then I'll tell him. My mother always says that I should not rush things. So I am. I'll just enjoy and treasure our times together, sing together, and play like kids. One thing is for sure, We both got addicted to each other's voices. Thanks to Purple Record and the memorable song, Angel. <3
