Psycho - 백현

Chapter 22

When he said those words, you choke in your drink. You coughed and Baekhyun glared at you with a concerned look on his face. He stood up and tried to help you by giving sharp back bows between your shoulder blades.
Thanks to him, you stopped choking.
"Thank you." You said, getting hot inside.
"Are you okay?" He asked concerned, looking at you with those soft eyes.
You nodded, but coughed one more time.
"Are you sure? Don't I need to help you remove obstructions in your mouth?" He smirked.

"Euhm... Let's go home." You ignored Baek's dirtiness, but you were getting hotter. You grabbed your stuff and wanted to leave, but Baek grabbed your hand.
"You haven't finished your drink." He said, locking eyes with you.
"I-I'll just take it home." You said, grabbing your bubble tea and leaving.
"Yah wait for me." Baekhyun yelled towards you, who was already out of the cafe. He also grabbed his stuff and run after you.

Back home Baekhyun went straight into the shower. You were watching TV and realised it was already late. You should make dinner.
You walked to kitchen while you were thinking about making Baeks favorite meal.
You searched through the kitchen, but couldn't find some of the ingredients.
You really want to make Baeks favorite meal so you decided to go to the store, but it's already dark outside. You know you should have let Baekhyun know, but you don't want to distrub him when he's in the shower and you thought you would be back before he's done.
Wrong thought.

As you were walking to the store, you avoided the street from back then. Bad memories.
You were almost there when a cat suddenly screamed. That scared you to death, but you laughed it off. Sometimes, if you don't want to admit you're scared you laugh it off.
When you were at the store you bought all of the ingredients very fast and wanted to go home quickly. It was getting darker outside.

When you came outside you started running home. You wanted to make Baek's favorite diner as soon as possible, because you were getting hungry. So instead of avoiding that street you ran through it.
It was dark, like last time. Extra creepy.
There wasn't much in it, it was almost empty.
Gravity on the walls, trash on the floor.
It was disgusting.
Every neighborhood has a street like this: small, empty, dark, disgusting.
Everyone is scared to walk in such a streeg, but you ignored being afraid.
You ran so fast that you couldn't see what was on the left or the right. You were focussing on your way home, not on the details, but you didn't see him. You ran against him, and you fell on the ground, with him.
Just like how you met him.

You groaned in pain, because you fell on your wrist. You always do that when you fall. Your reflexes take over and you use it like a mainstay. The person who fell with you, didn't had much pain and looked at you.
When your eyes meet, you shivered.
How can he be this cute and handsome at the same time. It's not normal. He's not normal.
"Where were you?" He asked with some kind of arrogance in his voice. If he's irritated, he can be rude, but you know you don't have to take it personal. "I went to the store to buy ingredients for you favorite meal." You answered, looking at the ingredients who were now also on the ground. Thankfully, everything was still in their packing. You could still use it.

"You should have told me." He said, still gluing his eyes on you. It was like you were the mouse and he was the cat, who was looking at you intensly because he wants to eat you.
"How could I've told you? You were in the shower." You said looking down.
Baekhyun sighted. "You could've left a note or something, so I wouldn't be worried. I was afraid you were kidnapped."
"Sorry..." You mumbled, still looking down, not daring to look up.
Baekhyun, who stood up, came closer to you and lifted you chin with his hand. It felt soft and sweet. You were flustered. His eyes locked in yours and you didn't want to break it.
"Don't ever do that again. I don't want to lose you."

And again, butterflies.
They appear out of nowhere and you love it.
You love everything of him.
His smile, his eyes, his voice, his character.
Everything.
