A Dreamer - IU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-CcnXf-X08)     --------------------------- Narrator’s P.O.V:     Before the rest of EXO-K left for town, they said their goodbyes.   “Bye, hyung! Bye Naeunnie!” Sehun cheerfully waved as Naeun smiled and waved back. The maknae hopped down the steps and stood next to Kai, who slung a casual arm around his neck.   Suho worriedly glanced at the two, “Are you sure you’ll be alright by yourselves? I mean, you can come—“ Chanyeol covered the leader’s mouth with his hand, making him stop abruptly in mid-sentence.   “They’ll be fine. Just leave them be.” Chanyeol waved it off and pulled Suho away, “Have fun on your little rendezvous!” He snickered and followed Sehun and Kai.   Baekhyun’s ears turned red, “Yah!”   Naeun blinked and turned to him, “What was that all about?” *Silly Chanyeol.*   “W-What?” He blinked, locking his gaze on her. D.O was the last one to walk by. He tapped his shoes on the floor and glanced at Baekhyun.   “Nice ears.” He snorted and ran away with his hands in his pockets.   “K-Kyungsoo!” He roared. *Aish, these pesky people…* He shook his head.   Naeun cocked her head to one side, not breaking eye-contact with Baekhyun’s embarrassed face.   “Baekhyun oppa?”   The angel’s heart fluttered, “H-Huh?”   She rubbed her bare arms for heat, “I’m kinda cold…”   Baekhyun straightened up, “Oh, of course. Sorry.” He opened the house door again, “Let’s go back inside.”   Naeun brightened, “’Kay.” She hurried in. Baekhyun watched her with a warm gaze as he smiled and closed the door behind him.   ----------------------------   The pair soon became preoccupied with the dishes.   Baekhyun absentmindedly dried them as Naeun washed them, careful not to drop them and let them crack.   *But… what will happen to me now?* He questioned himself, deep in thought. *An angel can’t get together with a human. Naeun has to get back to her own world someday. I’m dead, and she’s not…* His expression became serious as his eyebrows creased.   All of a sudden, he felt warm hands touch his cheeks and force the ends of his lips to smile. Baekhyun instantly snapped out of his dumbfounded daze and stared.   “Ahh, no good. That sad expression just won’t do.” Naeun joked as she beamed, “Lighten up. Do you really not want to be alone with me?”   At that sentence, Baekhyun’s eyes widened as he captured both of her hands in his, “Absolutely not!” He looked almost offended. *Of course I want to be with you, silly.*   Naeun numbly blinked. Baekhyun froze and quickly dropped her hands, “…I mean…”   But to his surprise, Naeun’s stupefied expression softened into a smile, “That’s nice to hear.”   Baekhyun grew confused, “What do you mean by—“   BOOM! The kitchen was suddenly engulfed in pitch black darkness.   On impact, Naeun let out a frightened yelp and Baekhyun felt thin arms wrap around his torso. Instinctively, his arms flew up to her back and he held her close.   “W-What in the world was that…?” Naeun asked, a bit anxious.   “…A black out, I’m pretty sure.” Baekhyun truthfully explained. “I guess it was good that we finished the dishes.”   BOOM! Another wave of lightning crackled overhead. Naeun didn’t say anything this time, but hugged Baekhyun tighter as his eyes enlarged by the second.   Baekhyun was almost sure she could hear his heart racing in his chest. Ba-dump…ba-dump…   But instead of freezing for too long, his eyes became very gentle. Slowly, he pried Naeun’s arms off of him and held them in his warm palms, “Hey. Are you okay?”   “S-Sorry.” Naeun flinched, “I just… really hate thunderstorms.”   He was sure she couldn’t see his expression, but Baekhyun’s facial features softened immensely. “Don’t worry.” He put his hands on her shaking shoulders. “I’m here, aren’t I?” He said lightheartedly.   Baekhyun’s melodious voice calmed Naeun’s nerves, but only a
