He occupied the other swing beside her. It was nearly evening that's why the park looks like deserted. "Can we please talk?" He finally said to break the thick tension around them. "Okay. Just please listen to me. I'm sorry I hurt you. I know I was at fault, I got you angry wit-"

"No Baek," she stood up taking a safe space between them. "I wasn't angry at you. I tried but it was just too hard. I was hopelessly in love with you.” Right there and then she started crying. “I was hoping that you can look at me the same way I look at you. I was hoping that you can see me more than a friend should see. I was hoping that you would at least try to love me back. But it turns out that the more you reject me the more I fall for you.”

She waited for a mere second for Baekhyun to reply, but he was just there sitting looking at her bemusedly. “And when I thought I had escaped those feelings for you, you suddenly show up. Why Baekhyun? I had granted your wish to avoid seeing you, would just please do your part and stop seeing me?” She wiped her tears.

“It was better this way.” She whispered and turned to leave him.
