"Hey!" Irene shouted when Baekhyun made her sit on the bed. "What?"

"Irene," Ryujin took her hands in hers. "Please don't tell anyone about us..."

"Why?! They think you are enemies! And about that Suzy Bae! She is after Baekhyun! Can't you see the way she looks at him?"

"It's because of media, we don't want them to interfere in our personal life. So please keep it low," Baekhyun sat on his mattress and took a pillow to hug. "And I don't care about Suzy..."

She crossed her arms. "I can't understand why you want to hide this, but if you want me to stay quiet, I have to gain something from it."

"Gain something?" Ryujin thought, pressing her lips together. "Ok!"

"What?!" The engineer asked, shocked. "I thought you'd disagree..."

"No," She said. "You'll hide this from others, and we'll help you with Yixing's case," She held her hand towards her. "Deal?"

She shook her hand. "Deal..."

"But, Lisa and Jongdae also know about our relationship, you can gossip about us as much as you want."

Irene rolled her eyes. "I'm not like that..."

"Good," He stood up. "So make us happy by your leaving..."

"Baekhyun!" Ryujin frowned.

"What? We have to rest, right?" He said. "Irene, you got to try to sleep too, because we need a happy energetic Irene in our team," He led her to the entrance. "Have a good night, buddy..."

She nodded. "Thank you for listening to me," She whispered. "I am so blessed to have friends like you."

He giggled. "We are blessed too."

"Good night," She left.

Baekhyun closed the door and walked back to his girlfriend. "So, where was I?" He sat next to her.

"I feel bad for her," She said. "Because I know how she feels."

"Huh?"

"Falling in love with someone is the most miserable thing that can happen to a girl," She lowered her head. "When I fell for you, it hurt like this."

He cupped her face, raising her head slowly. "I'm yours now, that's what matters."

She smiled. "Right..."

Baekhyun moved forward and placed a kiss on her lips. "By the way," He took his phone. "I changed your iD in my contacts."

She got his phone and looked at it. "Mon Reve?"

"It's French. It means, my dream," He smiled. "Pretty, isn't it?"

"I love it," She said. "Mon reve..."

"How about you?" He got closer. "What is my name in your phone?"

She cocked her head. "You know, I haven't found anything suitable for you. It's really difficult to find a pet name..."

"Difficult?"

"Yeah... you are a champion after all."

He put her hands on his cheeks. "But I'm your baby..."

She nodded. "My baby..." She hugged him tightly. "Aren't you going to take me out on a date?"

"Now?" He pulled away. "Aren't you sleepy my pretty girl?" 

She shook her head. "I was, but not now... let's take a night walk together to Eiffel Tower, it's close."

"Ok..." He stood up. "Let's go..."

■■■

"Um..." Ryujin was trying to say something, but couldn't find a topic. She looked at her boyfriend who was walking silently. "It's awkward..."

He turned to her. "What? Uh... us you mean?" He chuckled. "It's been awhile since my last relationship, I don't know what to say..."

"It's not about that, because I feel the same," She sighed. "Baekhyun, let's ask questions to know each other more."

"Ok, where were you born?" He asked as if he had that question ready in his mind.

"Busan, you?"

"Incheon..." He replied shortly. "Now you ask."

"What's your plan for your life? Like where do you see yourself ten years from now?"

"Wow," He pressed his lips together, trying not to laugh. "In comparison to your question, mine was really childish."

"Tell me the answer," She hit his arm. "Hurry..."

"Um... once hyung asked me this and... I said I'd be racing like now. I had no other plans, but this time, I am dating you. So..." He stopped. "Byun Baekhyun in ten years can become a married man," He looked at Ryujin with a smile. "A father maybe... whose children are as pretty as their mother," He pinched her cheek making her laugh. 

"Go away..." She pushed him away, not wanting him to see her blushed cheeks. 

"What is that?" He walked back to her. "Are your cheeks turning red? Are you blushed? Huh?" 

"Stop it, Byun!" She said. "It's just the cold weather..."

"Fine. I believed you," He laughed. "Now it's my turn... um, let me find a philosophical question."

She chuckled. "Ok, the modern day Aristotle... ask your question."

"Who do you admire the most?" He asked.

"My dad..." She said without a second of thinking. "He is really strong... he has been through a lot. Losing his mother at a young age, losing his wife, losing his legs and job... taking care of me all alone," She sighed. "I really do love and admire him."

"Wow... he is really... cool," Baekhyun whispered. "He still knows how to smile though..."

"Yep," She smiled. "What about you? Who do you admire the most?"

"Junmyeon hyung," He said. "Even though he is only some years older than me, he is a father to me," He smiled. "After my dad's death, Junmyeon hyung became my source of strength... he helps me in every way he can. He gives me the best advice when needed."

"Oh... nice." 

He turned to her with wide open eyes. "Not that I am dependent on him... I am a self-reliant man."

She giggled. "Ok, I got that..."

"I mean... look at him. He has an important job and might soon become someone more than just an ambassador. Still, he is a family man, raising two children, cherishing his wife like she is his queen, taking care of auntie Tiff, Soyeon and I," Baekhyun put his hands in his overcoat's pockets. "I appreciate him so much... he is really important to me."

"Have you ever told him how much you care for him?" She asked.

"No! Are you crazy?" He asked. "Junmyeon hyung is really rational, he doesn't like showing emotions..." He said. "Specially between men. Like, you should see how he treats Jisoo noona, his mother, his daughter and Soyeon. But with me? No. I can't," He trailed away. "I can't talk to him about that, Ryujin."

"But he didn't seem like that when you were in a coma..." She said. "He cried a lot and scolded himself for letting you continue racing."

"Yes. He tried a lot because he didn't want the family reputation destroyed by me," He chuckled. "It's funny that-"

"No," She said firmly. "He did that because he was worried about you. He really is worried about you. When I was talking to Mrs. Kim, she told me that her husband avoids watching Grand Prixes. You know why?"

"Because he hates it."

Ryujin shook her head. "Because he will experience great stress. For you... for your safety."

"What?"

She breathed deeply. "As you said, he is like a father to you... and I think he feels the same about you."

He lowered his head. "Hyung..."

"Next time when you meet him, let him know how you feel."

He just hummed, feeling speechless.

Ryujin looked around. "Ah! Look! Bao sandwiches!" She grabbed his arm, making him gasp. "Honey, can we have bao sandwiches?"

"H-honey?"

She looked up at him. "Don't you like it? I thought it would be nice to call you like that..." She trailed away. 

"I..." He bit his lower lip, trying not to smile too widely. "I loved it!" He almost shouted. "Call me like that when we are alone."

"Ok," She laughed. "You are really cute..." She touched his cheek. "Now, will you buy me a sandwich, honey?"

Baekhyun covered his mouth and looked away. "Stop it, I can't take it anymore. I might scream just now..."

She giggled. "Cute..."

He took her hand and pulled her to a bench. "Sit here, I'll be right back."

"Ok..." She sat down and stared at him running to a shop.

Ryujin smiled as she hugged herself. Baekhyun as a boyfriend was way better than Baekhyun as a teammate. "Can we be like this forever?" Her phone started ringing, she took it out of her pocket and frowned. "Unknown?" She tilted her head. "Hello?"

"Hi. Is this Jung Ryujin?" A feminine voice asked.

"Yes. I am Jung Ryujin. Would you introduce yourself?"

"Park Jihyo..."

She chuckled. "What?"

"Please don't hang up..." She said. "I wanted to contact Mr. Byun Baekhyun, but I didn't have his number. So I called you instead."

"What do you want from my boyfriend?!" She asked angrily. Jihyo had stolen her ex once, she surely wasn't going to let her touch Baekhyun. "What do you want from my life?"

"Uh... I think there is a misunderstanding, Ryujin-ssi. I really need to talk to him. It's a matter of life and death!"

"What?" She chuckled again. "I've had enough of you and that stupid Daniel. Have a happy life," She ended the call when she saw Baekhyun walking back to her with two bao sandwiches in his hands. "Baby!" She opened her arms.

"Here you go..." He handed her the sandwich. "Who were you talking to?"

"Stalker..." She mumbled. 

"What? Who dares to annoy Byun Baekhyun's girlfriend?!"

Ryujin bursted into laughter. "Oh, come on... I don't think she'll call me again."

"She?" He sat down. "Women are really-"

"Hey!" She rolled her eyes.

"That woman is really annoying," He changed his sentence immediately. "Is it delicious? The usual shop I bought this wasn't open..."

She raised her hands to eat her sandwich, but the smell made her feel bad. "Uh..." She covered , feeling sick. "Does bao always smell like this?"

"Why? Don't you like it?"

She held it towards him.
