15. Getting comfortable


~~~ EXO K - Sabor a Mi {Spanish cover} ~~~

She covered her slightly swollen lips with shaky hand, kept staring into his mesmerizing eyes, not being able to look away.

She was certain; he must hear how loud her heart pounds right now. Especially after, what he said. It sounded too good to her ears, than she was okay to admit.

Then she realized, his hands are still on her neck, which was probably the cause of the state she was remaining in. She couldn't shake of the blissful feeling taking over her body, when his fingers caressed the delicate skin on her neck. The lingering waves of heat made it harder to think and to realize what has just occurred.

The space between them still wasn't big enough for her, to calm down.

"You... why did you do that? You shouldn't just kiss people, without asking them beforehand," she managed to talk well without major stuttering, yet not being able to lift her gaze, to meet his eyes again, otherwise the composure she acquired would be in vain.

"First of I wanted to do that quite a few times already. Secondly, I don't just kiss people, I kiss those I like to kiss and thirdly, you would decline if I asked first, plus it was the only way to stop you from talking," he explained in detail, why he did what he did, setting her heart on fire once again.

"Exactly, I'd decline. You can't just do that, without permission," she murmured weakly. Why are his hands still on her? His fingers wondered behind her ear to stroke her hair, sending waves of shiver through her body. She was fighting with her own body reactions to his touch; she wanted to lean into it so badly.

"You didn't complain though. I wonder if I would be able to make you admit, that you actually liked it," his words didn't help the whole situation at all. His voice was ever so addictive, compelling her to finally look at him again. Bad move, bad... bad...

Both of them seemed to be unable to snap out of this trance, as they forgot about the previous dispute they had, being captivated by each other. His eyes didn't change from the melted chocolate, making her mouth go dry, having no other choice than to moisten them by tongue, which drew his attention.

This is getting too much for either of them to handle.

"We should stop this... " she breathed out, her words not having enough conviction in them to be taken seriously. He lowered his head again, he didn't have to come closer to her, because he somehow never got away from her, making her feel the heat of his body thoroughly.  One of his hand found his way to her face, gently caressing her features, while his eyes were burning with something, she couldn't really explain. She let out shaky breath; not knowing what to say to stop him, because her body did not want to cooperate, with her rational side, which was being pushed aside by Baekhyun's bold actions. His eyes followed the way of his thumb, which was moving over the skin of her face. When he traced across her parted lips, she was lost again.

"I always wanted to do that, since I saw you first time, I don't even know why," he shared with her, letting out little chuckle. That give her enough kick to wake up for a second from this dream and step away from him. Getting away from his close proximity, took her back to reality, realizing the impact he had on her, while having her in his embrace. She looked him in the eye, his hand still in the air, where she was just a second ago.

"What just happened, doesn't mean anything. We were in the argument and you took an advantage of the state I was in..." she would keep babbling, if she didn't see that smirk of his coming back to its rightful place on his gorgeous face.

"You don't have to be uptight after all, we are boyfriend and girlfriend, stuff like this can happen once in a while," his voice went back to the teasing tone and she felt her boiling anger. This is how it supposed to be, them always fighting and teasing. No kissing and hugging and other pleasant stuff.

"I thought I made this matter clear," she frowned at him.

"I thought we just sealed our relationship," he got her unprepared, watching her getting all red in face. Just one thought, reminded her of what just happened and she is mess again. Blast him and his way with words, always knowing what to say to turn her into blushing girly girl.

"Yes, you thought, but the reality is different. This is not some kind of crazy drama, where I will jump in joy, when you pronounce me for no reason, by your girlfriend. It can't happen and there is so many reasons why not, that I'd be listing them for multiple hours," she finally found her feistiness again, shooting him glare after glare.

"I told you why you need to accept my reality Dee, I'm not going to repeat myself again," he told her in low voice, fighting back with the same strong gaze she was giving him.

"I don't want to accept it, I will deal with it on my own. I don't believe this is the only way, I can stay here," she crossed her arms on the chest in determinate way, doing it partly for defending reasons. If she does that, he won't come closer and destroy her clear mind right?

"You will deal with it? By hiding, you mean?" he was harsh. She hated when he was right.

"I'm not hiding. I am here after all," she defended herself pathetically.

"You are here, but still trying to be invisible, trying not to stand out in any way. That's why you are angry, that I made you come out into the spotlight, because it will affect your precious father," he was getting cross now, judging from the dangerous glint in his eyes.

"Stop it," she warned him.

"Why are you on his side, after the way he is treating you?" he pressed at her.

"Because he is my father despite all that, that's why," she yelled at him. Then they both fell into silence, only glaring at each other for few seconds. 

"You are going to get hurt again," he said breaking the stillness between them, his angry face relaxed, only giving her sincere look. Her heart beating this time for completely different reasons than a minute ago, she almost melted.

"Why do you hold grudge against him. Why do you despise him this much?" she asked him calmly, wanting to finally know more. He looked away from her face, his jaw clenching.

"He is not good person. I don't want to see him ruin another's person life," he spoke quietly, after few seconds of him thinking. Her heart squeezed in a pain and she found herself waver again. He has too much of an effect on her, in everything he does and says. She didn't know what to reply. She wanted to stop fighting with him, but he always comes up with the craziest ideas. But didn't one of those ideas bring her all the way here, liked he said once?

Suddenly his phone started ringing; popping the imaginary bubble they found themselves in.

"Yeah?" he spoke into the phone.

"I had to leave for a moment, I'm with Dee," he sounded tired, turning his gaze her way. Why only him watching her closely, sent tingling feeling through her body? This was no fair.

"Yeah, I will head back now," he ended the call, she almost felt relieved that he has to get going, which will leave their argument here.

"Come, guys want to see you," he suddenly said, taking her hand, like he always had and led her out of the room.

"Why do they want to see me?" why her? She whined for herself. Why is she following, was another important question, which she didn't know the answer to.

"You will have to ask them, when we get to our dorms," he mumbled, while they were riding the elevator to the underground level. They had their hands linked, standing next to each other. This felt too much like they were in some kind of relationship. The nervous tensing inside her was too disturbing and the comfortable feeling creeping in, was too dangerous.

He took her to his car, seating her on the passenger's seat and setting on the road. She even felt at ease in his car, with him driving. No one ever drove her, until she came in Korea. Her life was turning upside down, not knowing if it was good or bad thing.

Even though, the only thing she did with Baekhyun was, fighting, and now she can add on the list, hot making out, she liked to be in his presence however weird it sounded.

The way to their dorms took longer than to the girl's ones. In a half an hour Baekhyun turned into the driveway to an outside parking lot, behind a metal gate, next to a nice modern apartment house.  Before she could get out of the car, he opened the door for her, automatically causing her blush, like an idiot. She saw the smile in his eyes, not letting it show on his face though. He did the same with the front door of the building, leading the way to the lifts.

"Not everyone is in today, so don't worry, they won't roast you too much. I'm actually more worried about them. I wonder, are you all feisty really just with me?" he pressed the number six inside of the elevator, turning to her with a ridiculous question.

"Just with you, because it looks like you need special care and you are usually the only one getting on my nerves," she explained with sweet smile, making him return the same one to her, which caused her heart speed up.

"It turns me on when you talk back at me," he whispered teasingly, then grabbed her hand taking her out in the hall, when the door opened. She wanted him to stop leaving her speechless. But before she could give him another stingy response; they stopped before the door to his group's apartment. He didn't wait for anything and pressed in the code to get inside. The alarm beeped. She wasn't ready, but his quick proceeding didn't give her any time to think and before she knew it, she was inside of the flat, standing in the spacious kitchen, having her fingers intertwined with Baekhyun's, while another five guys were gaping at them.

Chanyeol, must have stuck the whole loaf of bread in his mouth, just before she and Baekhyun arrived, because he looked like a hamster, with a little piece of the food sticking out of his mouth, googling eyes on them. D.O was in the middle of mixing something in the bowl, with his hands covered with sticky looking substance. Kai was licking his fingers, looking all curious at them. Sehun, who was on his phone probably up until they arrived, was now leaning over the table, pursing his lips, with the same expression like the others, while Suho was standing in the middle of it all, looking like a proud parent, with his arms folder over his chest.

Even though all the eyes were on them, she found it funny, the way they looked at her and Baekhyun.

"You didn't say, you are going to bring Dee, over. We would have prepared," the chaos started right after D.O said that and Chanyeol spitted out half of contains of his chewed on bread, choking on the other half at the moment. Sehun reached over and started to hit Chanyeol on his back, trying to help him, but the way his friend looked more like he about to get killed by the maknae.

"You said, they told you to bring me here," she hissed at Baekhyun, who was now trying to look all innocent, giving her small smile.

"Probably miscommunication," he shrugged his shoulders.

"Dee, stop standing there and come sit down, would you like something to drink, or eat. You look hungry. D.O was just making something..." Suho took over the situation. In a minute she was seated by the table, on the place, where Chanyeol almost died, with Baekhyun cleaning up the mess his friend made. Chan run off somewhere, his face turned red and she wasn't sure, if it was thanks the embarrassment, or that he couldn't breathe for several seconds.

"Baek, go and check on Chan," Suho ordered to Baekhyun, who looked hesitant for a minute, turning eyes full of concern towards her.

"Don't worry about me, I'm sure they are not going to eat me alive," she assured him, while she saw him blush, which was exceptional view of him to her. He just nodded and went off the same way Chan did.

"Here, have some snacks," D.O places tray full of colourful cupcakes and glass of milk. She smiled at him. All four remaining members gathered around the table, sitting in front of her, watching her eat.

"Did you guys make up finally?" Kai asked, biting on his own sweet cake, which he took from D.O before.

"I think we are still in the middle of the argument," she admitted, going back in her memory to the minute, he shut her up with a heated kiss, feeling her own cheeks turning hot.

"You should tell him he is jerk,"Sehun advised her.

"I did," she said quietly.

"Ah, feisty you are, huh?" Kai smirked at her and she chuckled.

"You have no idea what he went through his week. I think every day someone yelled at him, for being irresponsible," Suho informed her.

"You were one of those who yelled at him," D.O told him in dry tone, shutting Suho's parenting instincts down. "He deserved it, but I think he really cares for you, he had a hard time arranging the conference, to set things right." D.O added to it with serious expression in his face. They all were probably trying to help their friend, but she wasn't sure, if they are aware of the backstory.

"He did the opposite of what I wanted," she said in a low voice, avoiding their eyes. Oh god, how did she end up in a serious talk with them? She remembered whenever she felt unsure about Baekhyun and his stupid ideas, someone from his group appeared around, to talk it through.

"I think he regretted it the moment he acted so hastily. But there is no turning back now, you can only choose to trust him," Suho smiled he gently, to encourage her.

"If he does something like this again, we will make sure to kick his butt," Sehun promised her, making her feel in ease.

"Whose butt is going to be kicked?" Bakehyun appeared behind her, jumping everyone up.

"Can I be in a charge of the kicking, you could just hold him for me," she whispered and winked at her new allies.

"She is violent as it is, stop feeding her with those thoughts," Baekhyun seemed to have heard everything from their chat.

"Why don't you show Dee your room, Baek," Suho suggested. Dee knew what is he trying to do, but Baekhyun already took the leader's words seriously, placing his hand on her shoulder. Before she could stop him, they were already walking by the narrow hallway towards the rooms.

"I will kick Chayneol out first," he told her before he opened the door of his room, which he obviously shares with Chan.
After a minute, she saw tall figure, appearing in the doorframe.

"Sorry I spitted food in front to of you," he seriously looked embarrassed. She couldn't contain the amused smile forming on her lips.

"Chanyeol, please don't worry about it," she patted him on his shoulder, tiptoeing to actually reach him.

"Go in," he nodded his head and then went back towards the kitchen. She stepped inside the room, seeing Baekhyun right next to her, closing the door behind. The thought of being with him again in the closed space and alone, set her imagination working hard.

She looked around, to check the surroundings of his bedroom. It was nice and cozy, not as messy as she was expecting.

"Sorry, it's not that neat. Still better than Suho's room anyway," he murmured, rubbing the back of his head, messing his already ruffled up hair.

"Do you have a day off today?" she asked, as she saw everyone just chilling in their comfortable clothes and he was probably doing the same, before he rushed to save her from her father.

"Yes we do. Except Lay, he was helping you and Chen and Xiumin have their own schedules," he told her, walking farther inside of the room, taking seat on pne of the beds.

"So what is the reason for you to take me here?" she demanded. He lifted his chocolaty gaze to her.

"I wanted you to get more comfortable with me," he stated, making her more nervous. She is never going to feel at ease in his presence.

"Don't start again. I had enough of fighting for today," she mumbled, not knowing what to do with herself, when he looked so relaxed sitting in front of her.

"I know you don't have anything else to do today. Would you like to watch something with me?" he suggested. She had to hold her hands from starting to shake. This is seriously getting too much, but she found herself moving towards him and sitting beside him on the bed. His eyebrows shot up, seeing her cooperating with him so easily.

"I don't want to fight," she explained the reason behind her decision. He didn't question it and took out his laptop, placing it on his lap.

"You should know your boyf... I mean me more. I know you don't know much about EXO, I will play you some videos?" he went on the youtube, when she didn't say anything, not wanting to think at all.

In a half an hour, she thought she saw most of the music videos and some live performances, thinking they are slaying it with whatever they do. Baekhyun and her were now sitting, comfortably leaning against the wall with some cushions from his bed to make it comfy.

They just finished watching their performance on the last MAMA, when she glanced from the screen of the laptop at him, she found him there sleeping. He was dozing off before, but now he was slumped on the one side, his lips parted, with occasional snore coming out of his mouth. She couldn't help but to smile, how peaceful and cute he seemed at the moment.

She slowly slid on the edge of the bed, getting up, not wanting to wake him up. She was guessing he must be tired. She wanted to just quietly get out of the room, but the desk on the side of his room, caught her eye. It was covered by papers of half way through composed songs, some of them were crumpled into balls, some of them looked like they used to be balls, but now they were flattened and piled up. She saw few pictures of him and the members and other people she didn't know by a names. His desk reminded her of her own one. She was about to continue walking, when another thing stopped her from doing so. Behind all the orderly mess, she saw something familiar to her. Red envelopes.

No one uses the old way of communication these days and if yes, definitely not with bright red envelops. No one, except her.

She knew it's rude to invade someone's privacy, but she couldn't stop. She reached for the envelopes, hiding in back of the table. There was many of them and all of them were already opened. Her heart started to beat faster as she knew the feeling in the pit of her stomach, when she recognized them. She flipped one of them around, to see the address and almost dropped on the floor. She covered her mouth, to stop herself from letting out painful groan.

"Dawn, let me explain," guess she didn't manage to leave without any problem. She raised her eyes to Baekhyun, who was standing next to her with worried expression.

"Why do you have letters I sent to my father?" she whispered, not understanding what is happening right now.

~~~

- I was tempted to split this one in two chapters, cuz I couldn't keep it within 3k words, hah... I got a bit carried away with this one! 🙈😆

The ideas for this one, came to me so easily one naturally, like never before! It happened few rrimes, but I like this feeling when it comes to me so easily <3

Anyways I let the first bit, still a little heated, only for you! 😎

Hope you liked the chapter, I tried to make it a bit funny too, but I'm funny only occasionally, I'm mostly sarcastic as hell... I tried 🙈😁

The next chapter will be, as I promised, from Baek's POV, plus there might be slight flashback, you can look forward to it... I'm telling you this now, so you can prepare yourself mentally 😁

Btw. Any thoughts about why Baek's has her letters? 😱

Untill next time dearies!

Let's love!
