Psycho - 백현

Chapter 2

A conversation

With the rain still going down to earth, we stood there, looking into each others eyes.
The feeling in my stomach did not disappear, it even went worse.
Maybe I should go to the hospital if I have time.
Our eyes were just staring into each others.
We both didn't want to break the eye contact.
It was like we already knew each other just by looking.

When the seconds passed, it started to rain even more and we were just looking at each other, but he was the first one to break the glares by bending his gaze to the sky.
"Aish... A raindrop in my eye." He mumbled, immediately closing his eyes.
I let a small smile escape my mouth.
He looks funny.

When he looked at me again there was some look in his eyes that I couldn't place.
He's different from other guys.
"We're both getting wet, maybe we should go look for some place where it's dry." He grabbed my wrist ad leaded me in some direction.
I just let him. He's taking over without any problem.
How did he do that?

He led me to some kind of shelter that belonged to the closed store next to us.
"We better wait here till the weather clears and the sun comes back." He said.
I looked at him, butterflies in my stomach.
He's a stranger, why am I feeling this?

"So..." He begins akward. "Maybe we should get to know each other, since we're both just standing here, doing nothing." He smiled.
"Euhm..." I mumbled, trying to find something interesting about myself.
"What's your name?" He asked.
"Areum." I said with a little blush on my cheeks.
"What a lovely name. Doesn't it means beautiful?" The curiosity in his eyes grows.
"Yes, it does. What's yours?" I asked.
"I'm Baekhyun." He says, making me blush a little more.

"That's a nice name." I said, looking at the ground.
A little silence filled the area.
The only thing you could hear was the rain falling on the ground.

"So... What do you do these days?" He asked, looking at me with sweet eyes.
"Well... Euhm... I want to become a trainee so I'm practicing a lot on my dancing skills." I aswered.
"Ah... But being a trainee isn't only dancing, you know?" He says, looking at me with cute smile.
"Yes, I know, but..." I scratched my neck. "Aish... I don't know. I really want to become one, but my singing skills aren't that good."
I'm really nervous because of it and he's only making it worse.
Sometimes I'm so stressed that I collapse.

Baekhyun doesn't seem to see that I'm having trouble with my thoughts again.
"Don't worry, they'll teach you." He says.
I looked at him.
For the second time he helped me.
My thoughts are the reason why I stress and collapse.
When he said that, I started to relax a bit.
What is he doing with me? I feel so strange.

"Wich company are you in?" He continued asking with his soft, brown eyes glaring at me.
"None yet." I sighed. "I was heading to JYP when you bumped into me and there's no way I'm getting in without doing audition."

Baekhyun looked a little shock.
"I'm so sorry." He bowed.
I don't blame him, he's too cute to be blamed.
"I'm so sorry." He said again and bowed once more.
"It's okay, you don't have to be sorry. I will just try another company."
"You should try SM Entertainment." He said.

"SM?" I asked.
"Yeah, never heard of it?" He aked with an innocent look.
I shook my head. I've never heard it before.
"That's the one I'm in. You should try it. They'll doing auditions soon." He said.

"You're a trainee too?" I asked.
"That's what you could say, yes." He smiled. "But seriously, you should do audition. They're looking for new people and you're pretty enough to get in without any problem." He said what was making me to blush.
His compliment is taking me to heaven.
"Am I making you uncomfortable?" He ask shyly.
I shook my head.
"No, why?" With my cheeks still on fire.
"You're blushing." He says with a little grin.

I slowly put my hands on my cheeks.
They're hot.
Is it so obvious that he could see it?
"Sorry..." I mumbled.
"Why are you apologizing? It's not like you control your cheeks, do you?" Baekhyun laughed a bit.
When my hands left my cheeks he putted his on it.

Feeling his soft hands on my cheeks makes me feel those weird things again.
My heart could explode.
Baekhyun smiled even more.
"Ah... You're cute."
