SILENCE LOVE'S

Chapter 20's

This is the second time I have woken up in shock. How not, when I opened my eyes, the thing I saw was Baekhyun's face which was only a short distance away from me. And his arm, his arm is under my head! Who can explain this situation?!

Where's the loss of the cushion I put last night? Did Baekhyun move it?

I sat down slowly and all the speculation swirled in my head. Maybe Baekhyun deliberately moved it because he felt cramped during sleep. Ah, is it not because I was naughty when I slept?

Hey, naughty here I like kicking other people while sleeping. Did I do it to Baekhyun last night so he had to get rid of the barrier because the portion of his bed was so narrow?

The problem is why his arm could be under my head?!

I tried to think positive thoughts before negative thoughts started to perch in my head early in the morning like this. Nothing strange when I woke up today.

You know what I mean, right?

I glanced at Baekhyun who was still sleeping quietly. Ah, his face while sleeping was very handsome. Is this the effect of falling in love? Even though I knew her hair looked like a nest of a storm-stricken bird, she was still an angel.

Ah, before I exploded out of the pleasure of sleeping next to him last night, I got out of my sleep and cleaned myself up. Afterwards, I went straight to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. I don't know why I wanted kimchi this morning. So I made it a little bit with the materials in Baekhyun's apartment. One hour I made breakfast at home, Baekhyun appeared behind me. He just woke up. His face! Aigoo..His eyes narrowed, he scrunched his face, and it was so funny! It's really typical of people who wake up by force.

"What are you doing?" he rubbed his eyes as I put food on the table.

"Prepare breakfast. My stomach is hungry this morning because last night I haven't had time to eat" I told Baekhyun. The man took a towel and took a shower. While I make the bed. Why do I feel like his wife now?!

Give up your weird thoughts, Sohyun! You're just a friend who has to accompany her through her hardest time.

Ah... can I hope that our relationship is more than just a friend?

Shortly after, Baekhyun came out of the bathroom in his casual clothes. He walked to the dinner table and sat there. We started breakfast in silence.

When we eat, something strange happens. Suddenly Baekhyun took a piece of kimchi I made this morning and put it in his mouth.

Once again, once again,

He ate the kimchi I made!

"You ate it? Don't you like kimchi?" many wonder.

He chewed silently and said, "I don't like kimchi because it has anything to do with my ex-boyfriend. But there was a little tragedy that happened to me first."

Good.

Now he can discuss something related to his ex-girlfriend. Did the effect of singing last night make her trauma now healed, huh?

I raised my eyebrows, interested in what he said.

"I've choked on kimchi, once,"

I opened my eyes in surprise.

"So that's the reason you didn't want to eat kimchi??"

He nodded his head, "You're the first to know this. Please don't tell my four friends. They can laugh at me until they're crazy."

I don't know what to express. I'm glad to be the first to know his secret. But his little secret just wanted to make me laugh out loud. Damn, the happiness hormone that I can not hold until I finally out of control.

Baekhyun was surprised to see me also suddenly laughing loudly and slightly lowered my head in order to muffle the laughter.

"You're laughing at me?" tanyanya was upset with me.

"Ah. I'm sorry, Baekhyun. Your story is ridiculous. How can someone choke on kimchi?" I answered while easing my laughter and inhaling as much breath as possible.

"His kimchi cut was too big and ended up choking me. The spiciness reached my nose and kept me from singing for three days. As a result, I had to cancel my three-day concert."

Ah, so it seems.

The problem was not that he was afraid of choking on kimchi again, but that he was vengeful at the meal for making him cancel the concert.

I nodded my head while laughing again.

"Don't laugh like that. You hurt my pride" said Baekhyun with a flat face and now he's back eating his breakfast.

"Good, fine. I'm sorry. And I'm glad to be the first to know your secret" I replied with a smile. Baekhyun glanced at me who was in front of him, and slowly he smiled.

I wish I could see her smile every morning like this...

***

This morning I spent time at Baekhyun's house. My schedule today is off and I'm trying to write an abandoned story in my Word. I sat down at the bar table near Baekhyun's kitchen and looked at Baekhyun watching television opposite me. He sat behind me and just kept quiet occasionally changing the broadcast channel that I thought seemed boring to him.

I heard him sigh. He turned off the television and walked towards me. He pulled up a chair not far from there and sat right in front of me. I tried to control my focus to keep writing, but the sharp gaze from Baekhyun made my focus disappear somewhere. I rolled my eyes at him and he smiled a little.

Note this, he smiled a little and for some reason he was so sweet!

"Why?" ask her.

"You want to take a walk?" baekhyun asked, "I'm really tired of being in an apartment all day."

Well, it seems better that I accompany Baekhyun for a walk today. Who knows I also get story ideas from the streets. I turned off my laptop and got out of my seat.

"Let's take a walk!" ask me to smile, and be happy to see Baekhyun's face.

***

The cold and uncaring impression I had pinned on Baekhyun no longer applied to this moment. He looks warmer and more cheerful. Could this be Baekhyun's true character?

We are in the CN Tower which is an icon of Toronto. Baekhyun looks very happy when he sees the view from a height of 553 meters. I glanced at him and laughed. Baekhyun turned his head to me with a questioning look.

"Why are you laughing?" ask Baekhyun.

"You're like a child, Baek. Where's the Hitler predicate I pinned you?" ask me again, and his face turned flat again.

"Is it wrong that I'm happy today? It feels like my entire life burden has been halved and my feelings are getting better now" Baekhyun replied as he looked at me deeply.

I tried to take my eyes off those black eyes because it would make my heart race fast.

"Thanks for singing last night?" tanyaku, which he nodded.

"I sang that song to someone and with a sincere heart" Baekhyun said. He turned his gaze towards the scene in front of him.

My body stiffened for a moment and my heart beat racing. Could that song be for me?

I stared at the cream scarf I gave me back then. Ah, she still wears it until now although the way I gave the scarf to her can't be said either.

"You like the scarf I gave you?" I asked him and he smiled.

"This scarf is warm and cozy, how could I not like it?" Baekhyun.

I smiled faintly and I averted my gaze to the sight that refreshed my eyes and heart.

"Goddessa, Baekhyun!"

We both turned to the source of the voice, and it was very familiar to me. Taehyung came over with a big smile as he approached us. I feel bad because I remember two days ago I rejected her feelings. Baekhyun looked ordinary.

"Oh, Taehyung. Nice to meet you here," Baekhyun replied with a smile and replied to Taehyung's hand.

Taehyung smiled, "I didn't expect to see my idol again here!"

The man turned to me, "How are you, Sohyun? Two days you haven't heard since I told you how I felt!"

"What?" baekhyun asked a little surprised. The look on her face was quite obvious, and I grimaced.

"Should you discuss the matter now, Taehyung?" ask the guy.

"Haha! Ii'm sorry. I was just kidding. Don't be surprised, Baekhyun!" replied Taehyung who suddenly laughed seeing the expressions of the two of us. Kulirik Baekhyun who tried to normalize his expression back.

"I'm not surprised. Just don't expect you to express your feelings to Sohyun" Baekhyun replied.

Ah, my heart is a little bad to hear it.

"of course. Any man would love a girl like Sohyun, including me. But baby, I just got rejected yesterday. I need to get closer to him!" taehyung replied with a face of sumringah and he glanced at me. I just want to hit his shoulder.

"Stop discussing the unimportant here" I said. Taehyung laughed a little.

"Sorry, I'm just kidding!" he said with a face.

"By the way, what are you doing here?" ask Baekhyun.

"There are work projects to be done and the place to coincide here. Me and my team were observing the place," Taehyung said, seeing his friends talking to some people here, they were wearing neat black suits. Different from this man surnamed Kim. He wears a shirt with sleeves that fold up to his elbows and jeans.

"It's going to be the stewardship of the company, you can use fashion as you please!" taehyung replied, "Ah, yes. By the way, have you seen the internet?"

Baekhyun raised next to his eyebrows as well as I who was curious.

"The video of you singing in a cafe is already scattered on the internet, Baekhyun."

Baekhyun was shocked and his jaw hardened.

"They talk about you a lot on social media. You should be back on your leave now. Your voice is so good and I love it!" said Taehyung again smiling sincerely. We both fell silent. I was a little surprised to see the reaction of Baekhyun's face that looked surprised as well.

"Ah, then I should get back to work again. See you soon!" taehyung said and left us.

***

Baekhyun and I are now in a park not far from the CN Tower. We were sitting side by side with no syllables coming out of each other's mouths. Baekhyun checked his phone and he looked stressed. He then turned off his phone screen and sighed violently.

"You okay?" I asked Baekhyun.

The man was still silent. His eyes were straight on the ground.

"Are you going back to Korea because you're better?" I asked Baekhyun.

"I'm better, but I don't want to go back to work. It still feels heavy."

He rubbed his face rough and now I was confused as to what I should do, and I went back to silence.

"If I quit as a singer, what do you think I should do?"

I turned my head to Baekhyun who looked bright. Yeah, look at her future if she stops being a singer.

"Why do you want to stop? Isn't that your dream?" ask her.

He smiled skewedly and looked pessimistic, "There's a time I'm saturated. After the news circulated, I was sure my manager would come here with my agency chief and force me to return to Korea."

The man sighed again, "While I still want to be here."

I smiled, "You can come here again if you want. You have to work again. Don't you want to grant my request?"

He was silent for quite a while. And silence enveloped us. I myself am not willing to say that. I still want him here, I want to take him for another walk like we're going to Edensor. But all for his career. His dream is to sing again and when he can do it, why won't he now?

Suddenly the sound of Baekhyun's cell phone broke our silence. He reached into his pocket and stared at the screen.

Manager Yoo is calling...

***

My heart was pounding when Baekhyun and I arrived at his apartment. Two men were already sitting in the living room with unfriendly faces. Baekhyun took my hand and led me in.

"So she's the girl you were rumored to be with in London? And now you're in Canada?!" a man looks angry. While the man next to her sighed.

"As you can see, Mr. Lee. What's up?" baekhyun asked indifferently with the attitude of the man surnamed Lee.

"There's something I want to talk to you about."

"I'll take him home first. It won't be long" Baekhyun said, taking me to his room.

I immediately cleaned my clothes and Baekhyun drove me home, on foot, of course.

"Are you going to be okay? All's fault. Because of me you get in trouble like this," I said feeling guilty when we got to my apartment building.

He smiled faintly, "Never blame yourself, Sohyun. I'll be fine for sure. And I'll try to stay here any longer. I promise."

I nodded my head and smiled, trying to give Baekhyun some vigor and calm myself down. Slowly he left me still standing, staring at his back slowly away.

I don't know why, I feel like he's going really far now.
