SILENCE LOVE'S

Chapter 21's

The night is getting late and the time shows at 23:00 Canada time. I couldn't sleep because I thought about how Baekhyun was doing there. I would love to call him but his phone is not active. Should I go to her apartment at night like this?

Finally, I decided to go to Baekhyun's apartment. Right after I was ready with my brown coat and thick clothes, my apartment bell rang. I quickly opened the door and I found Baekhyun standing there. He looked at me with a gaze that could not be interpreted before.

"Baek! I was just about to go to your apartment, end you're not bi-"

Baekhyun suddenly hugged me tightly. I felt his breathing sound that riled up. I think something's wrong this time.

"You why?" askaku returned his hug.

"I'm sorry..."

I took off my arms and took her into my apartment. Put Baekhyun on the couch.

"Did they force you to go back to Korea?" ask her. Baekhyun nodded his head small and he looked very depressed.

"I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise, Sohyun."

I sighed and smiled, trying to calm her down even though I was disappointed.

"It's okay, Baek. You can vacation here whenever you want, right?" me telling him.

"I'm just afraid I can't see you anymore" Baekhyun said.

I grabbed Baekhyun's hand and clasped his hand tightly.

"Hey, I'm going back to Korea every month, Baek. Don't worry, I'll visit you as often as I can. Okay?"

He looked at me with his eyes looking hopeful, "Are you really going back to Korea?"

I nodded steadily, "So take it easy. You should go back to Korea and work again. I'm waiting for your performance on stage!" my words are encouraging.

He let out a rough sigh and silence enveloped us. I don't know what to do now either. To take him to eat with me who cooks? I don't think it's the right time to eat. Invite her to watch? Ah, I don't keep movies that are suitable to watch at night. The movie collection I have is more of a mystery genre. No way, right, we'll scream when we see the ghost appear on the television screen. We could be thrown out of the apartment later.

"Can I sleep here tonight?" suddenly Baekhyun broke his silence with his question which made my heart beat fast.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes" I said and got up from my seat to the room to get her a pillow and a blanket.

"May I sleep with you tonight?"

My steps came to a halt in shock and my heart thrice beat faster.

"Why do you want to sleep with me?" I asked and then turned to her who was looking at me gently. Heol..my feet are limp in his eyes like that!

"I'm afraid I'll miss you when tomorrow I have to go back to Korea" Baekhyun said.

Can I scream right now?! I'm blushing right now! Why is he talking like that, huh?!

"missed me? Just be right. You can call me later," I told Baekhyun.

He still looked at me for a while with his eyes slightly sleepy but still he forced to look at me expectantly, "I don't want to sleep on the couch with just a blanket on this cold night. I want to sleep with the warmers. Besides, I want to talk to you a lot tonight."

I sighed, "All right. Let's sleep. But don't take the cushion I put in the middle. You made me hang when I woke up."

He stood up from his seat following me to the room with a big smile on his face.

Aigoo... I want to kiss her!

Aish, aish,

Get your crazy thoughts, Sohyun!

We are also now lying together on my bed, of course with a pillow as a barrier. Hopefully, the pillow will remain until tomorrow morning. We were both immersed in silence, staring at the ceiling of the room that had an interesting pattern.

"Young,"

I turned towards Baekhyun who was still staring up.

"Tell me about yourself."

I was stunned to hear what he said. What does he mean he talks like that?

"Our first meeting was not good. Sorry to upset you at that time" Baekhyun said with a smile and turned his head to me.

"That's because I don't know you yet, Baek," I replied smiling as well. The man turned his position to face me.

"So tell me about you. I want to get to know you better."

We talked quite a lot. From my life to how Baekhyun's story pursued his dream of becoming a singer. Long enough for the conversation that we had until one of us fell asleep. Baekhyun fell asleep first. I looked at his tired face. Time has shown at three in the morning. I tidied up the blankets we were wearing, and slowly ventured to kiss her forehead.

"Good sleep, Baek."

***

Autumn slowly passes through the middle of the second month. Toronto is getting reddish yellowing with foliage starting to fall off faster. The process of adaptation of the plant makes the eyes unceasingly staring in awe. Me and Baekhyun are now walking around Pearson international airport. Two men who are none other than the manager and the head of the agency where Baekhyun works, are also here. They were enjoying a warm cup of coffee and reading the newspaper. The departure time was still an hour away, and this man deliberately invited me and left faster, just to get around the airport.

"They don't seem to like me" I told Baekhyun.

Baekhyun glanced at me, "Manager Yoo and Mr Lee? They're like that."

"But, it seems like they are upset with me, because I am the cause of the gossip about you on the internet," I told Baekhyun.

Baekhyun smiled, "Don't be like that, you're making me feel bad. It's not your fault, it's my fault. I shouldn't have dragged you in that state. Your life won't be quiet either because it's dealing with idols like me."

I sighed, "That's it. I don't like to hear you talk like you're a troublemaker."

He smiled at me and we went around. The airport is quite large and crowded. After nearly an hour of touring and sightseeing, interspersed with snacks, there was a notice that the plane would take off shortly. At that time, we had returned to the cafeteria at the airport, complete with two men who were ready.

"It's time. Prepare your things. Let nothing be left behind." The thin-looking man with a cold face said to Baekhyun. The man ignored her and turned towards me.

Pretty crowded actually. Not yet he got on the plane, my chest was already rumbling violently.

"I'll go home first. If there's time, we'll meet again. Either it's here, or it's in Korea. I hope you'll come visit me if you're not busy" Baekhyun said smoothing a scarf around my neck.

Ah, goddamn.

My tears want to spill.

I nodded my head and lowered my head, afraid that Baekhyun would see a dam of water in my eyes.

Slowly he took me into his arms. He hugged me tightly and rubbed my back. My face sank into his chest and the scent of his body instantly ambushed my senses, making the tears I was holding back could no longer be held back.

"I'll miss you, Sohyun," she whispered softly.

So am I, Baek.

I will miss you so much.

"Ecchem,"

Baekhyun let go of his embrace as I rubbed my eyes. The man with glasses with a gentle stature, looked at us.

"It's time we leave, Baekhyun."

The man surnamed Byun next to me nodded his head, and patted my shoulders gently as a sign of farewell, which I carried quietly.

I looked at Baekhyun's back who was away while dragging his suitcase. Before he disappeared behind the road to the cabin of the plane, he turned his head to me and smiled, until finally he completely disappeared.

Not for a few minutes, I missed that guy.

***

The rain flushed Toronto, bringing the weather back to a chill. I enjoyed a warm cup of coffee in a cafe with a laptop in front of me, returning to my original habit. The twilight that has begun to arrive makes the sky more dark accompanied by clouds that are faithfully still there. Not even the wind touched it.

It's been a week.

A week I can only see photos of Baekhyun from my laptop. Photos of us together at Edensor. Her face makes me miss.

I couldn't reach him because he was in training to release his latest single. The news of Baekhyun's return to Korea and ready for a comeback made the world half an uproar. It is a famous star. We still communicate, but only through chat applications. And that takes a different time. The time difference between Canada and Korea is very disturbing. Every now and then I look at the internet just to get to know the guy's news, but still, there's nothing new I can know.

My miss is blowing, really. I miss Baekhyun's annoying figure. I miss her discreet attitude of concern, and I miss her smile. The smell of his body was still felt in the coat I was wearing. Her perfume stuck well in this white scarf.

"You're daydreaming again, huh?"

My mind was blown away from hearing the voice of a girl approaching me with a glass of hot chocolate in her hand. Hyesung took a seat in front of me.

I smiled a little in response, "I was just thinking about my writing idea."

"Don't lie to me, Sohyun. You're thinking about Baekhyun, aren't you?"

I'm tergugu. My sylabel just drowned when I heard Baekhyun's name.

"Ah, you shitty guy. He said he'd miss you but just called you never!"

"Maybe he's busy" I replied, grabbing my coffee.

"Whatever he's busy, he should call you, Sohyun."

I smiled back, "We're just friends, Hye. I don't think Baekhyun needs to call me that often."

Yep.

The fact that once again made me not confident. Baekhyun and I are just friends. I shouldn't have expected him to call me as often as I expected.

The girl surnamed Byun sighed, "I hope you guys are more than that."

I laughed a little at it.

"Why are you laughing, huh? I said solemnly because I liked your figure as my new friend. You and Baekhyun are a great fit!" exclaimed the girl while snorting, "Baekhyun likes you anyway."

"I guess after this no," I replied making the girl in front of me look at me dislike.

"Why?"

"We rarely speak. Sometimes just through a message. And the time difference between here and Korea is also very far away. Just as I was about to go to sleep, Baekhyun was just about to start his activities. When I started my day, the sun was already sinking in Korea. There, many girls are prettier and more attractive than me. It's certain Baekhyun won't like me anymore."

My chest's tight. Acknowledging a reality like that made me realize the euphoria of how I felt about that man.

"Did you like Baekhyun too?" hyesung asked, making my emotions run high. No need for clear syllables. Only tears were now slowly flowing as a sign of how much I missed that man.

"Ah. Should I scold her for calling you as often as possible??" hyesung said he was getting upset.

I smiled slightly and wiped my tears, "You don't have to do that. I'll wait for the news."

"Why don't you go to Korea? You can work for home, right?"

Sure oes.

Without permission, I can do my job anywhere. It's just, I wish Baekhyun had asked me to come to Korea. He is now a famous public figure. His entire activities will be monitored. Even if I try to meet him, it won't be easy. How could he meet an ordinary girl like me?

But the whole syllable sank into silence. Again I can just be quiet.

"If you think meeting Baekhyun is hard, I can be his mediator!" hyesung said it made my feelings improve. This girl is so good to me.

"Later. There's still a lot of work here. I'll go to Korea if I have time for a vacation" I replied. Hyesung sighed and nodded his head.

At least, tonight my feelings can get better thanks to Hyesung.

***

Another week passed.

The worst two weeks I've ever felt of longing, and I've rarely communicated with Baekhyun.

Last time Lay called me and said the guy was really busy. His activities are absolutely inviolable. The four of them, who were in fact close friends of Baekhyun, could not meet him easily. I hope Baekhyun can get better this time and his trauma is completely gone.

All this time I tried to find a busyness that would make me forget about Baekhyun slowly, but unfortunately the feeling could not be eliminated just like that! I miss him even more if I try to forget him. Be my performance for these two weeks is really bad just because of that man surnamed Byun!

I wash my face when I wake up in the morning and check the internet. Slightly stunned because in the first news column, the news about Baekhyun was plastered with his picture with a girl. I read the news, and I found out the girl's name was Min Yuri. They were posing in harmony for a clothing advertisement.

I'm upset to see it, really! That was his job as an artist. I shouldn't have felt this way.

Ah, I was like this because I realized, that girl is more beautiful and attractive than me. He is also a famous public figure like Baekhyun. What is the power of me is only a writer and a traveller blog?

It's impossible too, isn't it, Baekhyun likes me?

Suddenly the sound of a bell rang, indicating that a shipment had entered my apartment. The first goods reception system through the apartment guard will ring a bell that is connected to each apartment. I went downstairs and found a different patterned letter in my mailbox. I took it back to my apartment.

In the room, I just realized there was a name written there with hangul letters.

"To: Kim Sohyun.

Hi, how are you?

I hope you're okay.

After I returned to Korea, my schedule immediately piled up. I was eager to reject the entire schedule that was immediately given to me to release a single and some photoshoots. But I think back to you who always gave me the passion to get back to work."

Without me noticing, my heart was beating very quickly to read every letter of the letter.

"I'd really like to call you, but I can't. My access to open a cell phone was very limited and it was very annoying. I hope you understand my situation.

Five more days, my new single concert will be held. I hope you'll come later and watch me perform on stage. I deliberately sent you a letter, because behind this letter there is an object that you must carry. It's limited and I give you the first print."

I reopened the envelope and there was a concert ticket there. Baekhyun's concert will be held in five days.

"I hope you're coming. There's a lot I want to say to you."

My breath choked and felt heavy as I read the final writing from the man.

"I miss you, Sohyun. More than you think.

...

Baekhyun's."

"Ohahhhh!" my cry was happy as I hugged the letter from Baekhyun and rolled around on my bed. Ah, it's crazy to know he's still thinking about me. With this ticket in my hands, it will be easier to meet Baekhyun this time!

Soon maybe I put my clothes in my suitcase and call Mr. Kelly.

"Hello? Mr. Kelly's! I'm going back to Korea tomorrow. Please tell Mrs. Johnson that I'll be there for two weeks! Thank you, sir!"
