Stay With Me

Chapter 7

Baekhyun's POV

The sun shined bright through the dorm window. I had woken up to the warm yellow light streaking a line through the room. The line stretched down and onto Chanyeol's face. From the looks of his peaceful state, I made the assumption that Channie was not going to wake up anytime soon. I slowly crept out of my bed and tip toed into the bathroom. I looked into the mirror and stared for a while. Ever since I met Meliana, all I could think about was making her proud. Today, I have a schedule. I knew I wouldn't be able to see Meliana for a while and I was okay with that. The only thing that bugged me was the way I felt yesterday before I left. I had this feeling that I would not see her again. I felt like that was the last time I would kiss her, touch her, just be with her in general. I felt a stabbing sensation in my heart. Meliana had claimed me. I want her so bad. I need her. I know she wants me too. I know I should think about the future. Like when we have bad times together. When we say hurtful things to each other. When she hurts me by running off with another guy. Especially when I step over the line. I just need her to know how much I care. Every single time I think about her all I could think about is how much I need to talk to her. I shook off the thought about calling her and proceeded to put on light makeup. After I put on a little eyeliner, I walked to the bedroom where Chanyeol was still sleeping on the bed. I grabbed my phone and headphones and walked downstairs to start breakfast. As I walked downstairs there was someone already cooking. I could smell it. I made the assumption that it was Kyungsoo that woke up bright and early to cook. When I got to the bottom. I slowly walking into the kitchen to see that it was in fact Kyungsoo. He was facing the stove so his back was facing me. I poked his shoulder once I reached him and he turned around frightened. I smiled at him and picked up an egg.

"Morning," I greeted him as I cracked the egg in the bowl.

"Morning Baek," He replied. "How is Meliana?" He asked not looking up at me.

"I was with her last night," I said. Kyungsoo's huge eyes looked at me in shock.

"That's where you went last night? I thought you went for bubble tea for Sehun,"

"Nope, I needed to see her. I felt like our goodbye at the amusement park wasn't enough." I said. He nodded and continued to stir something that was boiling on the stove. I was standing at an angle that I couldn't get a good look at it. Right when I was about to ask what he was cooking, Kai walked into the kitchen with a sleepy looking Suho and Xiumin trailed behind him.

"Morning," Suho mumbled. I acknowledged him with a nod before whisking the eggs in the huge bowl.

"Kai!" Lay yelled from upstairs. Kai immediately got off the stool he had sat on, and bolted upstairs. He came back down with a drowsy Chanyeol behind him.

"It took so long to get him up." Lay complained. "I needed help."

"I was tired," Channie defended. I walked over to him and patted his shoulder.

"It's okay," Then a huge conversation started up as the last member wobbled downstairs.

"Chen," I whispered. He walked over and finished the eggs as I washed my hands and went upstairs to put my headphones away. As I set my headphones neatly back in the case my phone rang. I checked my watched and realized we had some time before we had to leave for our schedule. I answered the phone without checking the caller I.D.

"Hello," I answered.

"Hiya Baek," I heard. I mentally sighed.

"Meliana," I said. I heard a thump and she giggled.

"Hiya Jobih," She said. "Sorry my dog is a little happy today,"

"Oh no it's okay,"

"So, How about today we go see a movie?" She suggested. My stomach twisted in a knot. I had forgotten to tell her that I had a schedule. I groaned internally before sighing once again.

"Mel," I started. She immediately laughed and then sniffed a little.

"You have a schedule don't you?" She asked.

"I would have told you e-"

"Oh no it is fine," She said.

"What?"

"It's okay," She repeated. "I have no problem with it. And anyway I need to catch up with Fateema."

"I still feel bad," I said apologetically.

"No need. Lilo has a party today with his friend Rickie and Fateema and I might go to the mall. Or better yet the party that Visteene is throwing."

"We have a couple hours before the schedule. Let me come see you."

"Oh no, go get ready. I have to drive Lilo to the party in a hour or so. My mom is going to stay home and rest. I am going with Fateema. My schedule is booked just like yours." She replied nonchalantly. I sighed and leaned against the wall.

"Just let me come see you. Or come to the dorm. You don't live far. Please I need to see you."

"Baekhyun you can go a day without seeing me."

"No I can't," I argued.

"Yes you can and you will." She laughed. "Now go be a good boyfriend and make your fans happy. Make me happy. You and I will be fine. Believe it." With that she hung up. I groaned and tossed my phone on the bed.

"Are you alright?" I heard. I turned to see who was talking.

"Yes," I said as I passed a concerned Sehun. He had a frown and he looked genuinely upset.

"If Meliana hurt you let me know,"

"She did nothing," I shot back. "I just wanted to see her but she said I couldn't." I groaned and sat on my bed. Sehun sat across from me and placed his elbows on his knees.

"You want to talk about it?" He asked. I looked into his eyes to see if he was serious. the truth is I did want to talk about it. I needed to let out my frustrations. I slowly nodded and he sat back a little.

"Okay,"

"Meliana is everything I ever wanted. I just want her to be happy. The only thing that frustrates me is the fact that I am an idol and she is a regular girl. She has a younger brother whom she cares about so much. I have so much in common with her. Yet I have nothing in common at all. I don't want to break up, I just want to know why everything is getting confusing." I said in one breath. Sehun stared at me as I slumped over with relief. The weight that had been crushing me was removed and I felt great.

"You love her." He said. My head shot up and I felt my mouth form an 'O'.

"I don't know yet."

"I wasn't asking," He said. Then he stood up and left the room. I sat back and thought about what he said.
