Waiting

Of Emotions, Ideas and Everything [A Collection]

 

Baekhyun [EXO-K]

 

 

 

Waiting... patiently waiting. Oh gosh! Why is it so hard to wait?! Be patient now. Ugh! I hate waiting! 

I took a book out of my bag and started reading my script. Ah, why do I have to be Juliet?

I could feel eyes darting towards me. I could already read what is on their minds. What the hell is she doing here? Hey! I'm a customer too, you know?! Oh yeah, I haven't ordered yet. 

Here I am at one of the most famous coffee shops in this city. I don't know how they do their stuff, but they are good. Maybe some kind of exotic ingredient like those... Kopi Luwak? Huh. So I've been drinking animal dung all these years. Yech. Ok, not in the mood for coffee now. I stood up, walked towards the bartender, ordered a bottle of water, payed for it and then sat back on my original place. 

I am patient.... I am alone. I hate it when I'm alone. It's like every second people look at you and their stares pierce your skin. When I'm alone, I am so concious of everything. Even one movement from the guy on the next table freaks me out. And since there's a guy sitting on the table in front of me, I am definitely freaking out. Oh but he's cute! 

Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo? I have read this line over and over again. Why can't I move on?! Oh gosh. Hey, why did it suddenly become darker?

"Hey." 

Oh.... so that's why.

I looked at him. Wow, he is cute. He isn't that tall, I might be just an inch shorter than him. He's got a fair complexion. He has that really cute smile, but he's got.. what's that? Eyeliner? Wow, it looks good on him! He looks like... like a Greek god. 

"Hi?" I said with a rather rude tone. 

He sat down on the chair in front of me. What is this guy's problem? Ok where was I... Oh yeah yeah, Romeo Ro-

"Uh, sorry for barging in, but... but I couldn't help but notice you." Wait, what? Is he seriously serious. Well, from the looks of it, maybe he means it. He's got that sympathetic look on his face. "W-What I mean is... You look lonely. Where are your friends?" 

I smiled at him. Well, he looks like a harmless person, might as well just talk to him, "Oh, I'm just waiting for my dad to pick me up here." 

"Well you've been here for like an hour." He said as if I didn't know. Dad's still in a meeting. So I'm stuck here. 

"Oh... I just like hanging out here. Smell the coffee, you know?" 

He smiled. "So... what's your name?"

Oh gosh! He's asking my name! What do I do?! Give him a fake name? No. "My name's HyoSung. What's yours?" Did that just really come out of my mouth? 

"Baekhyun. Byun Baekhyun. Nice to meet you." He again showed me his really bright smile.

And an awkward silence wrapped us. Hell, even from the start it was really awkward! A whole lot of awkwardness! I really shouldn't be here if it weren't for that stupid play practice! My school is miles away from my house all because mother wants me to study in a very prestigious school! I should be at home now but instead... I'm stuck with pretty boy over here. 

"What are you reading?" He asked all of a sudden. 

"Oh, i-it's just for our play. Romeo and Juliet." 

"Play? Let me guess... you're Juliet?"

I smiled despite the awkwardness of this conversation. This "awkwardness" isn't that of the dangerous kind. It's subtle... he's actually kind of... nice. 

So I smiled and nodded. "Yep. Juliet."

He looked at me and for a while, we just stared into each other's souls. Well maybe not our souls. He then looked away. 

"O-oh. That's cool. Good Luck with that." His phone rang. "Excuse me."

Saved by the bell... I guess? So I looked back on my script. Ro-

He stood up from his seat, "I gotta go now. Can I get your name?" 

"It's HyoSung." I just told you, right? 

"C-can you give me your full name?" 

Ok, I know I blushed. Why my full name? Oh gosh, is he gonna stalk me?! Calm down, HyoSung! He's just asking for your name. "It's Jung. Jung HyoSung." I said with a smile.

"Jung HyoSung." He repeated. Wow, it's actually nice hearing him say my name. He... he's like singing it with a very beautiful melody. I-it's addicting. Can he please say it again?  "I'd be looking for you in Facebook. Good Bye."

"Bye." I waved.

He went away. Oh gosh that was awkward! Awkward... yet totally... wow. I just met a really cute and nice guy. Wait.... did he just say... FACEBOOK?! OH MY! 

My phone started vibrating... there's my cue. I got out of the coffee shop and there's that car. There's my dad. 

I went inside and he looked at me. 

"What's with the smile, HyoSung?" 

Smile? I'm smiling? "N-nothing dad." 

"Ok, ok." He said with a light chuckle.

On the way home, all I could think about was pretty boy. Baekhyun. What if he does add me on Facebook? What will I do? He's cute and nice and... and... dreamy. Oh wake up, HyoSung! I should stop expecting too much! It's gonna hurt if I do. 

 

I'm waiting... and waiting. That there would be that number one on a red speech bubble or something on my friend requests. But it's been hours. 

Baekhyun, Baekhyun, wherefore art thou, Baekhyun?

Oh gosh what am I doing? 

I look like a fool. 

A fool who keeps waiting when she shouldn't be.
