It’s like they were meant to sing together. That’s all she allows herself to think. Not that they were meant to be together, only sing together. It’s easier to think of it like that, to think of Taeyeon as her fellow main vocal and future member and friend at most. Or so she tells herself anyway.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about two questions: What do you think about Hani? and What do you think about Heeyeon?

Sometimes Baekhyun feels too little. Sometimes Baekhyun feels too much.
