“Miss me?” Baekhyun teased.

 

She buffed, “As if.”

 

To be quite frank, he knew she was lying. She went here three consecutive nights, and he knew that simply because he was also watching her. He didn’t know why or how he led himself here, but at one point it became a routine to check on her. But what else could he do beside watching from afar, not knowing where this could lead. 

 

Aera looked down, unable to meet his gaze. 

 

“Where have you been?” she mumbled.

 

“Work,” he simply answered.

 

She wanted desperately to ask him more, but Aera decided to hold back. After all, she didn’t how close they were to be asking personal level questions nor did she want to force him. She quickly changed subject and started to unwrap her chocolate bun. Aera scooted her chair closer to where he was then proceeded to offer him the dessert.

 

Baekhyun smiled, accepting her rare offer. 

 

“You’re really not curious about who I am?” he decided to ask. 

 

Aera shrugged, “It doesn’t really matter to me who you are. It’s none of my business at the end of the day.”

 

For some reason, a small part of him wanted her to be curious. He wanted to tell her everything, about him, and who he really was. He wanted to share that with at least one person. One is enough.

 

“It’s getting late, I should get going…” Aera started to gather her things. 

 

“I’ll take you,” Baekhyun offered, already taking out his car keys.

I already know that there is an angst tag in there. But I still read it. And guess who's crying now :") This is truly...... heartbreaking, beautifully tragic. The pain is real, the sorrow is real. I really like your writing style. Your idea of having celebrations in one day is great. I hope there is an alternative happy ending for both of them. I wonder if the real Baekhyun really loves Aera? How is their relationship going after this?

Anyway, thank you so much for the emotional rollercoaster ride (and tears). I really really enjoyed this story!❤️❤️

Chapter 21: Why why why why am I crying even tho I knew it was angst. Why am I sobbing right now? This is the saddest story I've read so far. I'm really sad but author you've done a very good job at bringing out the emotions and the angsty-ness into this story. At some points I was confused, like who was in love with aera? Baekhyun or the devil. But I think I've understood it now that I've read it till the end.

This is really a great story and I think one of the saddest but well written Baekhyun stories out there.

Thank you so much author for this amazing piece of fiction. I hope you could give us a sequel to this open ended ending sometime in the near future, of course, if that's possible to tell us what happens with ceo baek and aera's relationship.

Loved it, enjoyed it, adored it too. Thank you so much author 🥺❤

Chapter 21: Awwwww after rereading this again I still get the same feelings from it. Although now I'm happier about the ending and it's easier to see how much they cared for one another but sigh I still wish they had tried to find a way to have them coexist somehow...lmaoooooo
