she didn't expect to see him at this time, at this place. and to think about even meeting him outside the school. it was, unbelievable.

hey, taerin he waved at her, you okay? he raised his eyebrows.
uh, yeah i'm fine she replied, grabbed the tissue and picked the food the fell on her skirt.

here, let me get that she handed the tissue and he throwed the leftover food that she ate. their hands touched each other, and she quickly let go of her hand.

btw, you always eat here? he said, pointing at the stall they were eating at. y-yeah, when i'm alone she answered.

why, are you always alone? do you have any friends? he asked, he wanted to know a lot about her. he felt that she was somewhat mysterious, he felt like she was like a book that needed to be opened carefully.

i do have friends, but only a few of them she said, and looked down on her feet. hey, hey, it's okay he assured her, and smiled.

if you want, can i be one of your friends? he asked, smiling directly at her. there's this charm and warmth aura around him wherever he's with someone he's comfortable with.

we're already friends, baek she said on her mind. she remembered all the memories with him in the past, with all of their friends. back to the time when they were all complete and nothing but happiness that bonded them, with their promise that they will never leave each other and stay by their side.

back then, they were a group of friends. some are childhood, and some are just the best of friends. they were complete, until one of them left and others did the same too. baekhyun and her were the only last ones left in the group, after that, baekhyun left to study in seoul. and she was left all alone.

as if like time stopped, the two stared at each other.

yeah, we can be friends she replied with a smile.

thank you, i promise to be good friend he said, flashed her a genuine smile and he hugged her. 

they end up talking about themselves and about some various things around them. every now and then, baekhyun would crack a joke and taeyeon would laugh in every joke he said.

both are two different personalities, but because of the bond that they created. the got closer, and soon after taeyeon realized that he still haven't changed. he is still the byun baekhyun that she knew.

after all, there are still some stories waiting to be told.
