BAEKHYUN'S POV

What the heck was that?

Why did you even wake up, Byun Baekhyun?

THAT WAS MY CHANCE! What the hell was I thinking to even stop her from what is urging her to do that? Well, I didn't really stop her. I didn't even say anything but here she is, so shocked at my awakened self.

I just wish I didn't even wake up.

Or not.

"W-were you awake all this t-time?" She stuttered. How cute.

"N-no. You can continue what you were doing." Her mouth agape at what I said and I ended up laughing my butt of at her reaction. Her cheeks turned bright red and I had to stop myself from pinching her chubby cheeks.

Saemi pushed me off her lap and rattled on walking her way to their room. Before she could even close the door,

"Good night, love!"

SAEMI'S POV

What just happened?

I could still feel my cheeks burning from embarrassment. He made it worse by telling me to continue. What the fudge, Byun Baekhyun?

I had to force myself to sleep just to get rid of the thoughts of Baekhyun. But my stupid ass can't. And I ended up not having any sleep until the next morning.

I walked out of the room with dark circles under my eyes. When Shin Hae unnie saw me in the kitchen, she let out a hard laugh at my face. She even pointed at me while laughing so hard making me feel even more embarrassed.

"Unnie~" I whined to stop her from cracking up as I cover my face in humiliation. The scene of me trying to kiss Baekhyun last night is still lingering in my mind and I would really kill myself just to get it off my head.

"Rise and shine~" Suddenly, Baekhyun entered the kitchen, mimicking Kylie Jenner's famous greeting in the morning. I installed facepalmed.

Minutes turned to hours. Hours turned to days. There was not any dull moment when Baekhyun's around. He always makes the mood light and fun. He doesn't even run out of anything to say in everything that happens. It's like his mouth works 24/7 with the nonstop talking.

But this particular day came that Baekhyun suddenly became silent. He went back to what he was last time. Not talking much, drowning himself with the thoughts running inside his head that I could not even comprehend.

Shin Hae unnie was busy cooking for our lunch while I slumped myself beside Baekhyun who's watching a series in Netflix.

I kiddingly ruffled his hair and he only closed his eyes, making my brows furrow. I turned his face to my side and looked at his eyes seriously as he opens his eyes to meet mine.

"What's wrong, Byun?" He slightly smiled, as if he's forcing himself to pull a muscle to move.

"Nothing." He chuckles under his breath and faced the tv again. I shook my head in disapproval and used my hand to lift his chin to face me.

"For real, Baek. What's wrong? Are you a grown woman already? What's with you and your mood swings?" I raised him a brow. He chuckles at my questions and suddenly brings his hands to my face that took me aback.

If he has something to say, does he really need to put his hands to my cheeks? And what the heck, my heart's racing so fast.

THIRD PERSON'S POV

"You do know that I..." like you, right? Fudge, he couldn't even bring himself to say those words directly in her face. But he held her face softly and continued.

"...that I'm always here for you. And no matter what happens, I have my support with you." Saemi doesn't know where Baekhyun's words are heading but every word that comes out of his lips feel like it's trying to reach a meaning she cannot understand.

"Why do you say that as if you're gonna die the next day?"

"Pfft, I am not, chippy. Aren't you a bit excited for that?" Baekhyun wasn't able to contain his laugh at Saemi's reply and removed his hand from her face.

I wish I could hold you like that forever.

The next day came and Baekhyun's acting extra nice and sweet making Saemi wonder what exactly was happening inside the man's head.

She was just having that normal day, eating her favorite ramen while her legs are resting at the chair beside her. Shin Hae was watching in the living room. And Baekhyun pops around the corner like a mushroom and pushed her legs lightly so that he could take the seat.

Saemi looks at him with furrowed eyebrows and slurps on her noodles. Suddenly, an idea came to her.

"You're a singer, right?" Baekhyun scoffed at her and plastered a smirk.

"Is that even a question?" Saemi rolls her eyes but nevertheless continues what she was trying to say.

"Let's make a song for your fans." We all are sure that that took Baekhyun's attention.

"Do you know how?" Baekhyun asks and Saemi simply smiled.

They both entered Baekhyun's room. There's a keyboard that is displayed beside his computer and Saemi ran to it as soon as she enters the room causing Baekhyun to chuckle at her cute reaction.

She played random chords and hummed along with it. Baekhyun set up the computer and his other gears before sitting beside Saemi with another chair he brought inside.

They were planning to make a song for the fans but the lyrics that Baekhyun sang became a different dedication.

Under the stars
Falling leaves down
Music notes
Fill the air, dear

Darling, here
In my arms
Hear my songs
Written down for you

If you're here and you're wondering
What we could have been
Let me know

It took a few seconds before Saemi comes up with a lyrics for the chorus part.

Baby, I can imagine
The times that we had and

"What's next?" She asks and played with the piano again, hitting notes that can be compatible with the note she sang earlier. Baekhyun continues to watch her as she tries to figure out what to do.

When Saemi finally had simultaneous notes coming to her, she sang the chorus again that made Baekhyun unable to keep his smile.

Baby, I can imagine
The times that we had an
Embrace you longer
Than it did

Baby, if I could change
The times that I wasted
I'd bring it back to you
Oooh

"Where the hell did that come from?" Baekhyun asks in surprise. He doesn't even know to whom they're dedicating the song for.

"I don't know." She shrugs and continued playing with the piano. Baekhyun connected the keyboard to the computer and opened his software and set it to sound an orchestra.

Saemi played the chords and a different instrument resounded the whole room. She loved music as much as he does and the overwhelming feeling of the violin just made her emotional. It was one emotional song they're making and they don't even know where this kind of song is coming from.

Saemi wrote the lyrics and Baekhyun added more until they finish the song for about 15 minutes. They adjusted the sound it produced and left it without any beats coming from a drum or anything.

"Wow." Baekhyun became speechless at the outcome of the song. While Saemi was already at the verge of crying at how emotional the song sounded like. The touch of violin just made it even more dramatic and sad.

"Are you broken-hearted or something? How did that sound like that?" Baekhyun chuckles as he asks Saemi who's already tearing up while the song was playing.

Saemi hit him on the arm and chuckled. "I am not!"

"You know you could be a producer or songwriter." He suddenly brings up. Saemi sniffs and wiped her teary eyes before giving Baekhyun an unsure look.

"I don't think I suit that job."

"I don't think that's the first time you wrote a song." Baekhyun smirked at her and she shyly smiled in guilt. It was true. That's not the first time she wrote a song.

"So it is true, huh? Do you mind sharing your songs, Miss Saemi?"

She was hesitant at first but ended up singing her songs beside Baekhyun who couldn't even take his eyes off her. His heart was beating like crazy. Her voice was simple. Very unique and mature to hit high notes professionally. She rarely sings using her chest tone and uses head tone most of the time.

"Do you want to audition to our company?" It was just a random thought that came to Baekhyun and it's not bad to try. He's pretty sure Saemi would be a successful idol in the industry and her talent is not something that should be wasted.

Saemi raised her brows in surprise and shakes her head. "I don't think that platform is for me." Baekhyun's eyebrows furrowed.

"Why not?"

"I can't imagine myself having the spotlight just like how you do and not have the privacy I have always loved." That just made him silent.

"But I've thought of being a songwriter actually." Baekhyun's face brightened at what she said.

They spent the whole day talking about the possibilites Saemi could get in the future. Not minding the deadline of their pretend arrangement. They were both unconscious of the possibility that could happen once everything is already chop chop.

And everything is just at the palm of Baekhyun.
