What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can’t pin you down
What’s going on in that beautiful mind
I’m on your magical mystery ride
And I’m so dizzy, don’t know what hit me, but I’ll be alright

You had been listening to this song on repeat for a while now . Blame Suho . It was the weekend and Suho had thought of a trip to his beach house . " Change the song ." You yelled in frustration only to be ignored . You cringed when Hana kissed Suho's jaw who responded to it by pecking her lips . " Suho please concentrate on driving . I don't want to die ." You had no choice but to change the song with the remote . " Argh ! You really kill the moment . Why don't you make out with Baekhyun ? " You were a bit flustered by Hana's comment and sat back in your seat .  " Here ." Baekhyun handed you an earphone .  You grabbed it and fixed it in your ear . 

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the queen

" Seriously , Frozen ?! You chuckled . " I love this song . It is a symbol of self-." 

" You are so cute ." You leaned and kissed his cold , metal cheeks . 

" And you're hot . "

The sky flushed different hues of red and pink and sun , as if too shy to show itself , was gradually disappearing into the sea . You could only hear the chirps of the birds and the silent conversation of the waves as they reached the shore and retreated as if burned by the touch of the sand . The pace of the wind reduced as if it became tired of its monotonous job . This place has definitely something divine about it .

" This is the last . Why can't you hear a pterodactyl going to the bathroom ? " Suho looked at everyone's faces in anticipation . " Because the ' P ' is silent ." Then he erupted into peals of laughter . He stopped in between the fits of laughter to gauge everyone's reaction but he didn't really care and continued giggling . " How much money do I need to bribe you to shut up ? " You crossed your arms across your chest . Poor Hana , she has to go through this everyday . " Money is definitely no match to my sense of humor . And even if it was , you aren't that rich to pay me back ." 

Savage .

" That hurt ." You pinched him making him hiss in pain . " How do you deal with him ? " You asked Hana who sipped her beer . " I don't know . When you love someone , you don't care about their flaws . You just love them for who they are ." You eyes immediately looked at Baekhyun who was already looking at you . Dum dum dum dum . There . Your heart does that everytime you think about Baekhyun . " I'll just walk for some time ." You excused yourself and walked towards the sea .

It was a bit cold actually but you were enjoying it . " Hey ." Baekhyun tapped your shoulder and grinned at you . " Mr. Suho is with Ms. Hana so I thought that I should be with my girlfriend . " Your cheeks burned and you were sure that they were turning red . " The weather is so good . " You changed the topic and averted your gaze from him and looked towards the sea . He stepped towards you pulled you by his side . " You're shivering ." He simply said and continued lookig towards the sea . Your heart was definitely going to burst but then your attention was distracted when you saw some shells . " Wow ! " You grabbed some and observed them closely . " Aren't they beautiful ? " You showed one to Baekhyun . " Yes , they are ." He grabbed two shells from your hand and then using a thread that he had , he made a neacklace . He leaned in and pulled your hair towards one side to tie the necklace around your neck . He tied the another necklace around his neck . 

" It's stunning . Thanks ." You touched it and returned your gaze to him .

" It's a souvenir to remind you that we existed , that I existed ."

You definitely hadn't been so embarrassed in your life before . Your two ' dear ' bestfriends had made you sit on Baekhyun's lap . You probably resembled a tomato , you were so red .His arms were around your waist while yours were resting on his chest . You could hear the rumbling of machines inside him . Currently , you were watching a movie . You didn't know its name as you your mind was occupied with something else , something that Baekhyun had said . 

He was right . He will go, he must go . He has to go , after all he is a limited edition robot . There's only three months left . This realization dawned upon you . Time really makes its own way . So, you'll be alone , again , with no one beside you . Suddenly the very thought of having no one beside you scared you . You hadn't realised that Baekhyun has changed you so much . You kept love at bay but now the distance was reducing . You had grown so much attracted to him , that you were too afraid to lose him . Maybe it was because he was just perfect or maybe because you love him ....

You hadn't realised that you had clutched Baekhyun's shirt and moved closer to him . He tightened his grip around you and hugged you closer . " Can we go back to the room ? I'm tired ."  You asked  Baekhyun and he nodded . " We'll be going back to the room . I'm feeling sleepy ." You lied to Suho and Hana and went back to your room . Actually , you needed some time to think . 

As soon as you were in your room , you lied down on the bed with Baekhyun beside you . You inched closer to him and caressed his face . You couldn't tell if he was surprised or not as there was no change in his expression . " Will you forget me when you'll go back ? " You were definitely curious to know his answer .  

" No , Ms. Emily . I'll try no to ."

You had been spending time way to much with Baekhyun . You went on dates frequently and had late night conversations . He had been a very significant piece of your life . Every second  spend with him , was written into your journal by you . You captured every moment into a picture. The end was approaching , you were afraid but there was nothing you could do . You had prepared yourself for the end , to blame it all on the fate .

" It's about time now . We've to get ready ." You pulled away from the hug and raced towards your wardrobe. You had a big party today at your office and you didn't want to be late . You found your dress and were pulling it but it got stuck in the corner of the wardrobe . You pulled it hard and it got torn . " ." You cursed as you observed your torn gown . " What do I do now ? I can't even order now as the online stores must be closed " You panicked and bit your nails nervously . " A beautiful dress ." You heard Baekhyun say and from the screen before him , he selected a dress which now was in his hand . " This is a special function which has been introduced in me . Mr. Suho did it when I went for check-up last week . " He explained which rendered you stunned . "Thanks ." You kissed his cheek and went to change  .

" Don't do anything . Stay still ." Baekhyun ordered you as he applied the eyeliner . Robots can be very handy for applying makeup . You could feel the closeness when he applied the eye-shadow . " Done ." You opened your eyes slowly and saw your reflection in the mirror and oh boy , you looked spectaculor . All the things were neatly done and the great attention to details were visible . You loved your new look . " Oh My God ! How do you do that ? " You exclaimed and hugged Baekhyun . 

Everything was perfect . You were wearing a sleeveless black , knee-length one-piece and black heels . " We should go Ms. Emily . We have only 7 minutes 55 seconds . " You turned around and found Baekhyun dressed in a black suit . He was looking so handsome that you couldn't look away . You couldn't help but admire how he looked just ...perfect , so ethereal .

" You look handsome ." You couldn't help but compliment him earning a smile from him . " Can I be honest with you Ms. Emily ? " You nodded your head . 

" You look y ."
