Imagine Baekhyun saying this: "you make me feel like the luckiest guy in the world" (cr to exotic-imagines on tumblr for the idea)
The airport was full of people.. I was quite distracted because of the noises around me.. I tried to get my luggage and escape that chaos... I was returning after months of working abroad for the promotions of a very important brand..
I was so excited to be back.. Especially because I knew that someone was waiting for me.. I got outside the airport and inhaled the fresh air.. Was a wonderful sunny day.. While looking for a taxi I heard my phone ring..
Me: "Hello? ______ speaking!"
Voice: "Annyeong!"
Me:"Oh! It's you? Is this a new number?"
Voice: "Yep... I am sorry.. had to change it since a lot of people were calling me. you know.."
Me: "Yes.. I get the idea.."
Voice: "Still working?"
Me: "Um.. yes.. of course!"
Voice: "You're such a little liar.. he he"
Me: "What??? Yah! Don't be like that!"
Voice: "Your face is all red now.."
Me: "How do you know that?"
Voice: "Close you eyes.. please!"
I was still surprised but listened to him.. I was wondering what did he want.. then suddenly I felt someone kissing me gently.. I opened my eyes..
Me: "Yah!"
"Missed me?"
Me: "Baekhyun! How come?"
Baek, pinching my cheek: "Tsk.. you should never hide anything from me.."
Me: "I wanted to surprise you.. but how come you.."
Baek: "Your friend called asking me to give you some details about the results on this last project you had worked on it these months.."
Me, pouting: "Ah.. big mouth she is...damn.."
Baek: "Let's go!"
Me: "Where to?"
Baek: "To the flat of course.. silly!"
Me: "Ha... yes indeed.."
He took the luggage and we head off to the car..
Me: "You look funny with that hat.."
Baek: "I guess so.. but if this helps me get unnoticed.. then.. it's ok.."
Me: "Don't worry.. no one will recognise you.."
Baek: "You did..."
Me: "That's something else.. I will always recognise you... "
Baek: "Really? Even if you see 100 like me?"
Me: "Yep..."
Baek: "How come?"
Me: "Only you could make my heart beat this way.. only you could make my love blossom every day.. so.. it's easy to recognise you.."
Baek: "Yah... very funny.."
Me: "I am not joking.. it's a special feeling.. that cannot be described in words.."
Baek smilling: "I know... I feel the same way too.. "
Me: "Let's go!"
Later in the apartment
Me: "God! I am so hungry!"
Baek: "Let's cook something.."
Me: "What? No way! I am too tired!"
Baek comes and hugs me...he softly kisses my ear, whispering: "Then let's get some sleep..".. I turned around to face him.. his smirking makes me blush..
Me: "Um.. should we order something?"
Baek: "Ok.. but it will have been so funny cooking together.."
He pretends to feel upset, heading to the living room... I go after him and grab his hand..
Me: "How about your fav dish?".. He smiles at me and pulls me closer.. "Perfect!"
1 hour later...
Baek: "That was wonderful! Very tasty! You are the best chef in the world!"
Me: "Yah.. don't make fun of me.. I know is not that good.."
Baek: "I am saying the truth.."
Me: "I'll go and wash the dishes"
He stops me right after I get up.. I look surprised at him.. He is like checking me out.. I make big eyes, sort of like asking him what happened.. He smiles and without any blink: "That can wait!"..
Later in the evening... we were in bed hugging.. the sun was already sleeping, leaving his place free for the milky moon.. Baek was carresing my hair while I was telling him about my trip...
Me: "So those are the best parts.. Was a nice experience.."
Baek: "And now?"
Me: "Now.. I am free.. "
Baek: "For real?"
Me: "Yes.. free to be with you and love you for all my life.."
Baek gave me a serious face.. "Promise me that you won't leave me again for so long.."
Me: "What? Lol.. oh my eyeliner butterfly.. don't be silly!"
He grabbed me and hold me tight.. "Promise!"
Me:"But I still have to work.."
Baek: "You can always work here.. there are a lot of better things that you can do..."
Me: "I know... but I wanted to complete that project.. it was my dream.. well I still have one more that I wish to make it come true... anyway.. I won't leave again.. don't worry.."
Baek: "You say this everytime... and now it took you so long to come back..."
Me: "Yah.. why are you like this?"
Baek: "I sometimes feel.. that one day you'll be gone forever.."
Me: "Shh.. don't say that.. it will never happen! Trust me!"
Baekhyun sighed and turned on his back facing the ceiling..
Next days..
Me: "I see that the promotions are giving great results.. 5 wins in this few days.."
Baekhyun: "He he.. yeah well...this new song is quite good.. I know it will be loved by many people.. "
Me: "I am sure about that.. you deserve to win.. cause you're the best!".
Baek: "Thank you!"
Me: "For?"
Baek: "For believing in me!"
Me: "I will always! I am here just for you, my sweet eyeliner butterfly!"
Baek: "Oh.. forgot to tell you.. I am going to participate in a very important singing competition.."
Me: "No way!.. Are you talking about.."
Baek: "Yep..."
Me: "That's wonderful!"
Baek: "He he... "
Me: "Can't wait to go there and cheer for you!"
In the next days.. Baekhyun was busy with the promotions of the new EXO song and the singing competition.. He wanted to be well prepared so that he could give a great performance.. He was rehearsing everytime he could.. even in the evenings.. I was staying there, near him.. listening to his angelic voice.. I trusted him.. I knew he'll do his best.. One night, while he has trying a new song.. I got a phone call..
Me: "Hello?"
Baekhyun stopped singing and came closer.. While listening to me, he got sad and then decided to leave the apartment for a while.. I got after him and saw him in the park near by...
Me: "Hey!"
Baek: "So... you're leaving.."
Me: "Um.. well.."
Baek: "How long? Another 4-5 months?"
Me: "Actually...this new opportunity requires a big change..".. He turned around to face me..
Baek: "What do you mean?"
Me: "I have to move in another country.."
You could not imagine the stare he gave me at that moment.. I knew how painful was.. I just couldn't find a better way to speak with him... so I just decided to tell him the truth...
Baek: "And you refused the offer, no?"
I was speechless for a while... He looked at me anxious, then continued to talk, since I didn't say anything..
Baek: "As I told you before.. You are so talented.. you can work anywhere.. so"
Me: "I've accepted!"
Baek: "What?"
Me: "Look.. this is the most important project I have ever had.. it is my dream!"
Baek: "And it's more important than me?"
Me: "Don't be like that.. is just that.."
Baek: "You love this work more than me.."
Me: "That's not true.. please don't say that!"
Baek: "When are you leaving?"..
Me: "Next week.. I just have to..."
Baek: "So you won't be here to cheer for me..."... He head off to the apartment.. I wanted to follow him...but I felt that it won't be that good to do so... I sat on a bench thinking at the whole situation.. I loved him so much... but I loved my job too.. I just couldn't find a balance... What should I do..?.. *phone rings..*
Me: "Hello?"
Voice: "Hey there!"
Me: "Oh Chanyeol.. Hey! How are you?"
Chanyeol: "Great! Thanks.. Say.. is there Baekhyun?"
Me: "No.. he's in the apartment... I guess.."
Chanyeol: "Strange... he doesn't answer my calls... is everything alright?"
Me: "Yes it is.. "
Chanyeol: "Well.. please tell him that tomorrow we need to be at the rehearsal place 2 hours earlier..
Me: "Ok.. "
Chanyeol: "Thanks.. Bye!"..
I got up and walked slowly towards the entrance of the park... It was getting darker... I got in the apartment.. Baekhyun was standing near the window.. I went to him and kissed him on his ear.. He pushed me away..
Me: "Please don't do this to me!"
Baek: "What am I doing?"
Me: "You make me suffer..."
Baek bursting into a fake laugh: "Indeed.. I am the one to blame.. I am the one that always leaves you behind when you need me the most...."..
Me: "Baekhyun please... I"..
Baek: "You know what? You can go whenever you want.... I don't give a damn..."..
He closed the window and went in the bedroom, locking himself there... In the next days he kept staying in the flat.. he did not answer his calls.. and he didn't want to see anyone..
Chanyeol came over with Kai... they just could not make him get out.. I was feeling so guilty... I was so selfish.. I should have refused the offer.. What happened then that made me say yes?.. I was such a stupid... I could have just called again.. and apologise for not going.. I didn't do it... although I could.. why? why was I like that?
-------------
I was in the airport waiting to get on my plane...Chanyeol was coming back from the coffee shop with 2 cups in his hands.. He gave me one smiling like a child..
Chanyeol: "There you go.."
Me: "Thanks!"
Chanyeol: "So.. um.. how should I"
Me: "It's ok.. you can say it !.. I know what you're thinking..I am so selfish to let him behind..."
Chanyeol: "No way... I mean..it is a bit of a rush.. but in the end.. you always wanted to get a project like that... "
Me: "Yes.. but look at the price.. I still don't know if this is good or not..."
Chanyeol: "Yah.. Don't worry.. Baekhyun should understand your feelings.. you were there for him all this time when he was here promoting.. you even moved here to be closer to him.. you gave up a lot of things for him.. it's time he should support you and let you fulfill your dreams.."
Me: "Is not true.. I was always abroad working.. I was the one that always left him behind.. I know that.."
Chanyeol squeezed my hand gently.. "Yah.. don't worry.. you'll come back quickly.. you don't need to stay there forever.. knowing how good you are.. this whole thing might end up in less than a year.."..
Me: "Wish so..."
I got up and hugged him.. Me: "Please take care of him.."
Chanyeol: "Kind of difficult.. he was so distracted ... he did not prepare for our perfomance in the last 2 days.. nor for the competition.. he's behaving so strange.. but I will manage to make him realise that he should not do this kind of things..... Now! Take care! Have a safe trip.. call us when you get there!"
Me: "Thank you! Bye!"
Few minutes later..
Chanyeol: "Yeoboseyo?"
Voice on the phone: "Yah.. it's me!"
Chanyeol: "Yo Kai! What's up?"
Kai: "It's Baekhyun.. he's here with manager hyung arguing.."
Chanyeol: "What? Damn.. that stupid boy... but what happened?"
Kai: "He refuses to sing in the competition..."
Chanyeol: "Ah... I knew he'll do something stupid..."
Kai: "That's not all.. he.. he said he's leaving EXO.."
Chanyeol: "He wants to leave EXO? But.. how can he.. that boy.. wait until I get to him.. I will.."
He turned around before finishing .. he saw me standing in front of him..
Chanyeol: "Kai.. I call you later.. what are you doing here?"
Me: "I have to see him... now!"
Chanyeol: "You missed your plane.."
Me: "That's not important.. where is he?"
--------------------------------
When we got at the company.. Baekyhun was no longer there.. I saw few fans crying near the entrance of the building... the news spread so fast... Chanyeol was calling him.. Kai was speaking to the manager, trying to make things get back to normal... he was no where to find..
Chanyeol: "Where could he be?"
Me: "I wish I could tell you but...".. then.. I remembered..
- flashback-
Me: "Wow! It's so beautiful!"
Baekhyun: "You like it?"
Me: "I love it.. thanks for taking me with you.."
Baekhyun: "This is my fav place for meditation and relaxing time.. it's so quiet up here... so calm.. so peaceful.."
Me: "Indeed..."
Baek: "I wish I could stay here forever..."
Me: "Well that's impossible.. he he.. you have better things to do than stargazing..."..
Baek: "Like for example?"
Me: "Singing.. making your fans happy.. healing their souls with your angelic voice.."
Baek: "Only that?"
Me: "Isn't that the most important thing?"
Baek: "No.. you're the most important.."
Me: "Nah. I am here for you... but I am not the one for whom you were born.. You are here to make people happy.. My existence is not that important for you.. I could even disappear and nothing will change the fact that you were born to sing.."
Baek: "Don't say that.. I couldn't resist without you.. you are my everything.. I need you.. you make me feel like the luckiest guy in the world.. I couldn't do anything without you.. not even singing.."
Me: "Nonsense.. you can.. because you're made to do that..."
Baek: "Please don't say that.. please don't ever leave me.. or else I wouldn't be able to continue living.. you are my life.. Every breath is connected to your soul.. if you leave me.. I wouldn't be the same.."
Me: "Yah.. I will never leave you.. I love you more than my own life.."
-----------
Chanyeol: "Yah! Where are you lost?"
Me: "I know where he is.."
----
It was a beautiful starry night.. the wind blows gently moving Baekhyun's hair.. he was laying on the roof top of a building stargazing... His mind was wandering.. his thoughts were so unclear.. he didn't know how the last days passed.. what was going on? what happened with this stupid life.. why couldn't he be forever with her?.. he stood up and looked at the moon... that cold muted witness of many love stories was embracing him with its pale light... he was walking slowly looking at it.. he raised his hands and closed his eyes..he needed to inhale some fresh air.. then he suddenly felt warmth in his whole body.. the quiet crying made him shiver.... he didn't turn.. he was just letting me hug him.. he waited for a sign from me..
I was still hugging him and crying when he finally spoke..
Baek: "I knew you'll come..."
Me: "Please forgive me! I was so selfish... I don't know what happened to me..."
Baek: "Shhh... It's ok... I should also apologise for not understanding you.. You always supported my dreams.. and when you got the chance to fulfill yours I became selfish.. I wanted you for myself... not even thinking about what do you want and hope... please forgive me.."
Me: "Oh my sweet eyeliner butterfly.. don't say that.... "
Baek: "I love you.. I love you very much!"
Me: "I love you too.. more than my own life..".. Baekhyun squeezed my hand and kissed me.. we were both crying.. we knew we had overcome the most difficult part of our relationhsip.. we were heading to a better future.. nothing else mattered since we were now together forever.. this lesson made us realise how much we needed each other..
We were holding hands when Chanyeol appeared with Kai..
Chanyeol looked at us angry: "Yah.. you two.. couldn't you find a higher place to be romantic? God.. I can hardly breath.."
We all burst into laughing.. everything came back to normal.....
-----
"And now.. let's see the result for Byun Baekhyun and our other contestant..".. I was nervous.. I couldn't even blink.. Chanyeol was bitting his lips.. Suho was playing with his hands.. Luhan was praying.. Baekhyun was waiting for the results, with his eyes closed.. the moment was so tense.. then.. the light switched off in the part where the other contestant was.. "EXO's Byun Baekhyun is the winner of tonight's show! Congratulation!".. I stood up and clapped crying and laughing at the same time.. the boys were forming a circle dancing..
Baekhyun bowed and greeted his fans.. "This is all thanks to you! I love you!"
I got outside and went to the waiting room.. He came after few minutes..He took me in his arms and hugged me tightly..
Baek: "I won!"
Me: "I know!"
Baek: "Oh my lucky charm.. thank you for being here!"
Me: "I love you!"
Baekhyun: "I love you more than you can ever imagine.. this win is for you my love!"
Indeed.. that win was the start for a greater future.. I knew that my eyeliner butterfly will shine even more in the next years.. Just because.. He was born to sing... and I was born to be by his side... we were made for each other.. that was something that no one could deny.. not even our selfish part that once made us suffer so much.. we were stronger now.. loving each other even more.. all was calm and peaceful.. I felt so blessed..
