Present time.
"Hello? Down to earth, Miss Kim!" Baekhyun snapped his fingers before my face, he looks like a drama queen, like those in movies. I blinked my eyes at him and let out a laugh. "Miss Kim has back to earth!" I shouted, and made a grin appeared on his face.
After he confessed to me the other day, we stood there in the cold, staring at each other without uttering any words or even a single syllables. "What?" is all I could say at the moment.
"I like you, Hana Kim." is what he said to me.
I looked at Baekhyun whose attention is fixed on the screen of the television. "ah, this song is so nice. Fire!" He tapped his finger on the table as he hummed along to the song. He stopped tapping the tip of his finger on the table, noticed that I am looking at him.
He shift his gaze from the television in front of him to me, a questioning look on his face. "Why are you looking at me like that?" He questioned, his eyebrow raised as he asked. I didn't reply him anything, I rested my elbow on the table and leaned my face against my knuckles. He stayed there for a while and did the same as me. "Miss, why are you staring at me like that?"
"Then why are you doing the same mister?"
"Because, I want to have a good look at my girlfriend, as well." He beamed a cheeky grin at me. If you're wandering what happened after that. That is because, I've accepted his confession. He wanted to start by becoming my friend from the beginning, probably he kinda knew that I won't accept his confession if he confessed on the day we met.
He's smart, clever and evil.
"You know, I was attracted to you when I saw you at school. Do you believe in love at first sight? That happened to me." He remarked out of nowhere. But I knew he was going to say it, it is like he was reading my mind. Is he actually a mind reader somehow? Probably he gets his ability from Do Minjoon if he does has one.
"You sound like those disney princess. I can see you transform into cinderella, or snow white." I giggled at my own statement, and the next moment my face was hit by a soft, purple coloured cushion. "Wah~ Did you threw the cushion at me?" I hold the cushion in my hand, showing the cushion at him, imitating an angry face.
"Are you imitating Lieutenant Yoon Myeongju?" He said in a formal way. "Are you imitating Sergeant Seo? Sergeant Seo is very manly, you know." I stuck out my tongue at him. At my own boyfriend. "Yah! You!" He picked up the cushion on the couch from behind of him, throwing it at me non-stop. Trying to avoid the cushion, I failed miserably. "Why are you so good at throwing things?" I hollered at him.

We are joking, trying to annoyed each other when the door clicked open, footsteps could be hear and Taehyung revealed himself to us. He stopped in his track, there are plastic bags on the grip of his hands. His mouth hanging and he froze there. "Oh, Taehyung! You're early today." I stand up and walked towards him, taking the plastic bags away from him and headed towards the kitchen.
I put the plastic bags on the counter in the kitchen, and take a peek at the those hot guys that are sitting on the ground in the living room of mine. "Hyung, what happened to you two, huh?" He leaned in to whisper at Baekhyun, but he failed to do so since I could heard him even from the door frame of my kitchen. "I confessed." Baekhyun stated boldly, showing Taehyung his square smile.
"And are you eavesdropping to our conversation, Hana?" Baekhyun looked at me who's standing, crossing my arms. "No. I'm just telling you we're out of coffee and I'm going to buy it at the convenience store nearby." I turned my heels and grabbed my coat, wrapping my scarf around my neck as well. I tucked my feet into the sneakers, and leave without turning back and said goodbye at them.
"I hope the store is still open." I looked at my watch, shoving my hands into the pocket afterwards. Walking alone in the quiet street do make me scared, like a bucket fulled of ice are poured on my back, sending cold shivers down my spine.
I was walking, setting my guard up and trying to be aware of my surrounding, I heard footsteps following me from behind. I stopped in my track and so does the footsteps behind me. 'Did I get myself in trouble again?' I thought to myself. I took a sharp breath and started walking again. This time my steps are larger and faster than before.
I reached the store and entered. The bell glued on the upper side of the door rings, making the person in charge of the night shift turned around, she's standing behind the counter. "Welcome!" She said, bowing at me. I wandered around the store, searching for the usual coffee I used. "Coffee.. Coffee.." I muttered under my breath and slowly run my finger through the shelf, multiple brand of coffee displayed on it.
I picked out the one I used from the shelf, taking like two or three of them and bring it to the counter. The girl has a short black hair but she tied it to a ponytail, leaving some of it dropped on the back of her neck, probably too short to tie it up.
She told me the amount of the coffee's price I get, taking the money form my wallet, I handed it to her and I wrapped my fingers around the hole of the plastic bag, and took it off the counter. "Thank you! Please come again!" She bowed at me as I opened the door once again, making the bell rings and exited.
I looked to my left and right, then quickened my steps and hurried home. I could still hear the footsteps tailing me from behind. My heart beats fast, it almost filled my eardrums. "Byun Baekhyun, are you following me?" I hollered, throwing the question at the person who's tailing me from behind. But no reply are throw back at me.
'Okay, I have to calm down.' I said in my head, closing my eyes and taking my breath. Starting a countdown in my head. I sprinted as fast as I could and run towards the direction of my house, but I have to be smart, so I run passed my house so whoever is following me from behind won't know where I live.
I take a left, then a right, and was actually just running around the neighbourhood, my eyes searching for a nice hiding spot as I run. My muscles feel sore from running but somehow the footsteps managed to caught up to mine, and clasped his hand around mine. "Oh my god!" I shrieked and kicked his leg. it's a reflex of mine. The figure dropped on his back, groaning in pain.
I took a closer look and it leave me, dumbfounded. "Baekhyun!"

"So, how did this happened?" Taehyung asked, crossing his arms while looking at the two pathetic people in front of him. I let the handkerchief wet, pushing it into the bucket of water next to me and raised it again, wiping the swollen part where I kicked him on. "I was following her."
"And?" Taehyung asked, he looked a lot like an aunt nagging her son. "She was scared. She even run passed the house and I was planning to stop her and bring her home."
"And she kicked you instead?" Taehyung inquired as he shifted his gaze upon me. "It was my reflex. You scared me to death! You reap what you sow." I hit his abdomen, making him groaned in pain again. "You play for too much." Taehyung shook his head and walked back to the kitchen. I looked up and him and inhaled. "Is it hurt?"
"You have so much strength for a petite figure like you."
"Don't judge a book by its cover, they said." I placed the handkerchief back into the bucket, letting it sink to the bottom as the water particles entered the handkerchief. I flopped down next to him and let out a breath. "You looked tired."
"From our run and chase scene, yeah." I lazily muttered, staring at the white ceiling above me. I could hear the clock ticking, it drives me to sleep slowly and I fell asleep.
---
"Dinner is ready, you two--" Taehyung wiped his hands on the apron he's wearing, and stopped walking when Baekhyun hushed him from afar, pointing his finger at the sleeping figure of Hana, whose head is leaning against his shoulder. Taehyung raised his shoulder and dropped it again.
"You two stupid lovebirds."
Baekhyun grinned at the statement Taehyung just threw at them. Looking at the sleeping face of his girlfriend, a wide smile spread across his face, the end of his mouth can almost reached his ears. Taehyung went back to the kitchen, getting the dishes ready. Baekhyun slowly leaned in and kissed her forehead. "Stupid." He chuckled.

The school ends and nudged Baekhyun on the arm. "You want to follow me to somewhere today?" I asked. Nayeon eyed us from afar, her eyes looked at Baekhyun then at me, and over again. "Something's fishy here." Jackson stand next to her, whispering into her ear. "I know, right." They walked towards us, their footsteps sound determined, their eyes already fixed on us.
"Did something happened to you two?" Nayeon asked, her eyes landed on me and move to Baekhyun, Jackson imitated her actions and did the same. "What?" I looked at Baekhyun, sending signals to him. We know what they're asking us about. Their curiosity could be seen on their face like an open book.
"You," she pointed her finger at Baekhyun. Slowly moving towards me next. "Two. Did something happened?"
"I confessed." Baekhyun remarked, making the two of them left their mouth hanging. "Flies fly~" I reached out my hand to Nayeon's chin and pushed it upwards to closed her mouth. "So," Jackson looked at us, then at Nayeon who's still trying her best to processed what Baekhyun just said. "She's my girlfriend." Baekhyun said, he sound so proud and all.
I should be the one to be proud of him. He's good-looking, and popular among the students. I want to know how is he attracted to me who's plain-looking and all. Isn't he too hot for me?
Jackson whistled, hitting Nayeon on the arm multiple times. On jackson every hit, Nayeon brushed his hand off. "Gotta go. Bye!" I waved at them before exiting the class. Leaving the two of them stayed dumbfounded on their own.
"Where are we going?"
"To a place where you could meet him." I replied simple. I expected him to ask me more, but none comes. He holds his curiosity back, waiting until we reached the place where I was bringing him to. we stopped at the graveyard, I turned around and saw Baekhyun let his eyes wandered around him, a questioning look on his face.
His curiosity becomes higher than before, he didn't ask or say anything, but I could see on his face. His eyebrows are knitted together. I walked towards one of the grave, standing in front of it, take a look on the name craved on the stone and crouched on the ground. Baekhyun stopped and stand next to me. His eyes fixed on the name, as well.
"Kim Seokjin." He slowly muttered under his breath, turning his gaze back on me. I smile weakly at the name. "Yeah, he was Kim Seokjin," I uttered, taking a sharp inhaled before I continue to speak. Gaining my courage, holding back my tears at the mention of his name. The flashback rushed into my head, playing every single images like a video, a movie.
His voice could be heard in my head, along with every scene of him.
"Was my first love."
