December 15, Wednesday.
Groomed and prepped for the meeting, the Other Baekhyun, in his suit and tie, stood over an unconscious Rara (he wouldn’t call it sleeping, she just closed her eyes for a long period of time and while her presence of mind is still there, the longer she’s in that state, the higher the reduction of alertness; but a vampire like her wouldn’t completely drift away to Neverland), who was curled up in one of the sofa chairs just beside the bed, her iPad in her arms. He thought she must’ve been reading those medical journals again, but she could’ve just climbed into the bed.
But you wouldn’t, because you’re afraid of me. He thought, smiling to himself. He carefully took the iPad off her hands and put it on the bedside table. Slowly, he lifted her off the sofa chair, putting one arm around his neck, as he carried her bridal style. Rara remained still, her head leaning on his shoulder. He looked at her sealed mouth, almost as if she was pouting. And why would you be scared? You’re the one with the razor-edged fangs.

Rara seemed to forget that they were frenemies; maybe because she just woke up. Still, the Other Baekhyun was abashed by her concern; she sounded so euphonious to him. This time, he didn’t think of taking advantage of it.
“I’m gonna be fine.” He said brushing her hands off him casually.
Thinking that she might’ve offended the Other Baekhyun this time; all he did was put her in a more comfortable place to sleep and the best she could come up with was a flimsy excuse as to why she headbutted him accidentally; there couldn’t be another person. This was a 5-star Japanese hotel. No one could get in. “I’m really sorry. I swear I didn’t mean for it to happen.” This time she said it with more sinc
