Back To Me (Byun Baekhyun)
23
After putting Hyuna to sleep, Hana went into her room and immediately met her husband who was now busy with his laptop, the man began to take care of work from home.
Hana approached Baekhyun who was still silent, she sat on the bed, next to Baekhyun and leaned her head on her husband's shoulder, followed by her hand that was wrapped around his waist.
"Don't be too busy first" said Hana.
"Yes, it's over, too."
Baekhyun immediately closed his laptop, set it aside on the nightstand and then grabbed Hana's body to increase the distance from her body.
"Baek, I'll say it" said Hana.
"What about?"
"The thing that's been making me a little different lately."
"So you're saving something?"
Hana paused for a moment, before looking back at her husband and saying, "It's actually just about my feelings.
Don't ask how Baekhyun's heart beats hard enough for fear that what Hana's going to say is about the woman's feelings towards him, somehow it might have diminished? Or is there not even a little bit of the rest?
"W-what? Say."
"I'm..."
"Actually my GPA is out, it's just that I haven't seen it either. I'm afraid my grades are ugly. I'm afraid to disappoint you like I always disappoint you with my grades. I'm used to being depressed when the exam results are announced, because that's the determinant I will be scolded by father or not, first. Baek, I'm so nervous. I'm afraid my grades aren't satisfactory."
"So that's it?" Baekhyun asked to make sure, Hana nodded confidently.
"Yeah.., I'm afraid to embarrass you with my unsatisfactory grades."
"Truly just about that?"
"Yes Baekhyun. Indeed especially?"
"I've always been like this when the exam results are announced."
"Heard me. You know, I never demanded anything from you. Especially just good value. No matter what the outcome, as long as you've put in the effort of your own, I'll always be proud."
"Whatever your past was about value, you should know that you're not in that past anymore. You don't have to be afraid anymore. The value is just a scribble on the paper really, what's special anyway?"
"Of course I'm afraid of letting you down, and myself of course."
"Now, change your mindset. Don't look at the results. See effort. People say there is no effort that betrays the results, in fact there will always be something like that, right? So instead of always looking at results, look at how you're doing. If it is so, when the results are not good, you will still respect yourself because you know best how hard you try. Understand no?"
Hana nodded confidently, then smiled, grabbing Baekhyun's hand for him to kiss the back of his hand, "Well, teacher."
Baekhyun laughed, "After becoming a father now I'm a teacher?"
"Yes, my personal advisor" replied Hana. Baekhyun chuckled, he was a little relieved that he could finally look back at Hana's wide smile. Although somehow there is still something stuck, he felt what is it just about this?
"Do you see your grades now?"
"In a moment, I prepared myself first," after which Hana took a deep breath and threw it away violently.
"Want to bet?" Bring Baekhyun.
"I think your grades must be good."
"How good is that? Getting 2.50 is good for me" replied Hana.
"That's my last and biggest GPA."
"I guess now maybe, 3.00?"
"Heishy! That's too big!"
"Who knows, right?"
"Let's open up!"
"If my guess is correct, I get a reward."
"What gift?"
"You are."
Hana knew what Baekhyun meant, but she did not immediately agree.
"But my stomach is hurting, it seems like it is going to menstruate" replied Hana.
"illness?" Baekhyun immediately looked at her worriedly.
"It doesn't hurt that much."
"Are you sure it wasn't because you ate late?"
Hana smiled as Baekhyun worried about her so, "Not dear. Looks like I'll just come by the moon."
"Well, the prize is just kiss, how?"
Hana nodded, "Happy."
"But if your guess is wrong?"
"I kissed you?" Ask Baekhyun.
"That's what you like too."
Baekhyun laughed, "If my guess is wrong, you can ask me anything."
"Really?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Well, you got me excited to get low grades."
"God! Not so too!"
Hana is laughing now. Seeing that laughter Baekhyun's heart grew even more relieved. Her hana seems to have returned. Maybe it was just a matter of value, and now he's trying to believe.
"Then open it on your laptop, Baek!"
"OK on a minute."
Baekhyun re-opened his laptop, now he went to the website of the Hana campus to see the results of his wife's GPA.
After Hana entered the student number on the available page, she immediately turned a blind eye when the page was still loading.
"Baek, is it out?" Ask Hana who still closed her eyes.
"It."
"Hows it? Good?"
"You can see for yourself, baby."
"Say first, good or not?"
"It's good."
"It's bigger than your last grade, so can I say it's good?"
Hana finally opened her eyes, but did not want to look at the laptop screen over her husband's face. Baekhyun just smiled then his eyes were directed towards the laptop screen telling Hana to look at it as well.
Hana now glances towards the laptop screen, until the value is seen. 2.80 results.
"You did very well, sweety," Baekhyun's hand moved to wipe Hana's hair.
"HAHHHH, this is so much better than I thought, Baek!!!" Hana exclaimed in spirit.
"Yes, you did well."
"What did I say, right?"
"Just keep your guess wrong! Too high a tau!"
"Just a little different, next semester you'll get 3.00!"
"I hope so."
"Don't forget to thank yourself for trying so hard."
"You're great Hana, you do it even when I can't keep you company. You're much stronger than I thought. I'm proud!"
Hana smiled, as her husband said that with a hand that did not stop playing with his hair.
"You gave me that much power."
"So I'll thank you too."
"Thank you, Baekhyun."
"No honey needs."
"Because your guess is wrong, so I can still ask for anything, right?"
"Yes, what do you want?"
"What yes?"
"You've been hugging all night."
"You sure? If that's not asking me to do it every day."
"Then, added by the song."
"Okay, how many songs?"
"Anything until I sleep."
"All right!" Baekhyun closed his laptop back, put it on the nightstand before lying down while stretching his hands and then Hana greeted with a hug.
"What song?"
"Yourself."
Then Baekhyun began to make his beautiful voice with lyrics that were no less beautiful. She sang a song by Hana Paul Kim's favorite singer, Every Day, Every Moment.
Can I smile without you?
just thinking about it makes me cry
The one who protected me in my hard times
Now I'll protect you
Your embrace is always warm
You are my only rest on my hard day
I've felt enough with just one of you
No need to say much, just by the look in your eyes
I already know everything
A flower blooms and falls
Every day, every time, let us stay together
It shines like the sun
Look at your eyes looking at me
It was even like a dream
All that time was so fascinating
In my life full of anxiety
You came like a beam of light
You made me smile
I've felt enough with just one of you
No need to say much, just by the look in your eyes
I already know everything
A flower blooms and falls
Every day, every time, let us stay together
It was an unknown future, however
Now when I'm in your arms
I hope it will last forever
I'll be gone on a windy day
One very bright day
To you
Like the day you first came to me
Every day, every time, let us stay together.
Despite closing her eyes, Hana had not completely fallen asleep until Baekhyun finished his song.
"Hana..."
"Hm?"
"Every Day, Every Moment, let's be together."
Hana did not respond to anything other than slipping deeper into her husband's arms.
