-R A Y E O N-

"Good morning lion "Beomgyu's voice chirped as I opened my eyes slowly only to have the bright sunlight attacking my eyes.

"Come on, we're the only ones left in the bus "he said softly but I was too tired so I shook my head not wanting to get off the bus.

"Aish this lazy lion " he giggled and without knowing, he pecked my forehead and gesture me to get on his back so he can carry me out of the bus.

I did so and buried my face on his neck with eyes closed ready to doze off once again because of his baby powder scent he always use. It smells calming and everytime I am near him, I could already smell his baby powder scent which reminds me of a baby though he looked more like a grown up dressed all in black like a bad boy.

"when I'm rich, I'll buy Choi Beomgyu an expensive men's perfume so he won't smell like baby powder again "my words came out muffled because I still have my head buried on his neck to gain heat and he hummed.

"And why is that so? I like baby powder and nothing's wrong with it "he said as he walked with me leeching on his back but what's surprising is that he didn't let me down when we're out of the bus yet he continued to walk away from the school to the path that will take us to his apartment.

"big boys should not wear baby powder. It's cute and if you keep on wearing that so, girls would like to be near you because you smell good like a baby. And why are we not getting our bags bam? " I asked, still not in my right state since I'm still drowsy but still want to keep talking.

"If you do buy me an expensive perfume then girls would likely to want to be near me because I smelled manly. Aigoo this sleepy girl still talking nonsense. Just sleep and don't worry about our bags, I already put it in our home earlier while you're still in the bus sleeping"

"Our home? "

"Yes our home sweetie. Now hold on tight because we're going to go to our territory by riding this spaceship named Bamboo "

.

My hands slowly wiped the cup of glass as I hummed a random tune I made up since the restaurant is not that crowded as usual and placed the glass nicely on the tray where all glasses were stored for the meantime when suddenly a boy came skipping to me like a happy pony.

"So...you're free to talk now with me? "Taehyun asked and leaned a bit so I could see his face since I am still facing the kitchen island.

"I'm not kakaotalk or whatsapp that's free to talk. I'm actually expensive so shoo peasant "I shooed him playfully and he rolled his eyes at me but still knows that I'm actually just joking.

"I have some tea for you tonight, wanna hear? Let's talk at there "he spoke up and dragged me to the staff break room so we can rest comfortably at the chairs.

"okay so you remember that guy that sang on stage at our last camp night? Well I heard that he's actually a Seoul person and he's currently staying at here for two weeks before going back to Seoul "He told me excitedly making me raised an eyebrow at him, trying to find what is he trying to say actually.

"And your point is?"

"Didn't you said last time that you want to go Seoul and search something you lost? Now is your chance to ask if you can stay for awhile at his place since you two are really close. You can pay him money for your stay and also save money a bit rather than paying expensive hotels and if he have a car, then you'll save more money because you don't have to pay for transport " he exclaimed as I smacked his head making him groan in pain.

"You sneaky squirrel. Why didn't you tell me that earlier! I'm glad that I have a smarty pants by my side "he giggled at my compliment but then I realized something.

"But isn't this troubling? Like I don't want to go on vacation just to go to Seoul when I have more studies to focus on. Aish this is really confusing and where's the tea?" I asked.

"What tea? "

"You said that you have tea and where is it? I'm thirsty man "

"Glad you mentioned that because I made one incase you'll say this and here it is, specially made for the queen. I'm a 5 star chef now huh? "he made pistol sign and placed it on his chin while he boast himself after he passed me a cup of tea to me.

"Making tea doesn't make you a 5 star chef already but whatever "I laughed and he frowned at me. We were silent for a mere second as we are in deep thoughts while me there also sipping me tea when I decided to start another conversation.

"Taehyun-ah... Actually I am in a crisis right now. Just a crisis in my mind but anyways, my friend's cousin's bestfriend's daughter is in a difficult situation about this feelings thingy. Well, my friend's cousin's bestfriend's daughter has feelings for her roommate but he has a crush on someone else, a hot girl who my friend's cousin's bestfriend's daughter can't help but also admit that she's better than her and sure that the reason of him liking her is because he's her ideal type. You see, my friend's cousin's bestfriend's daughter is not that hot and beautiful like her compared to the hot girl who is more like a proper woman that likes to curl her hair, wear high heels, dress nicely and wear perfume compared to my friend's cousin's bestfriend's daughter who only wear light makeup, likes to curse, don't dress that much like her. So my question is that, does she have a chance to get accepted if my friend's cousin's bestfriend's daughter asked her crush out? "I spoke fast in 3 breaths and panted wildly as I felt like I'm in a rapping competition or something.

"so your friend's cousin's-aish so it's like, you have a crush on Beomgyu who's your roommate and is in a crisis whether or not you should confess because you have competition and it's Nana who's beautiful, act like a proper woman and hot compared to you who doesn't like to dress up much, likes to curse and this and that. So you feel insecure and is questioning if Beomgyu would actually accept your confession when the person he likes is way different?" he explained as I stared at him speechless and that's when I suddenly hiccuped.

"you don't have to attack me like that and say I don't like to dress much and what, though it's true-BUT it's not me. It's my friend's cousin's bestfriend's daughter who's in this problem, not me!" I protested and shook my head continuously trying to convince him that it's actually not me though him assuming that out of a sudden is true.

"So this problem is your cousin's friend's daughter's bestfriend right? " he asked raising and eyebrow as I nodded fast until he suddenly slammed a hand on the table beside him.

"See you're lying. I'm not dumb and it's actually 'friend's cousin's bestfriend's daughter' you say "he beamed as I closed his mouth using my palm to shut his mouth.

"Aish alright you smartass, I'm the dumbass here" I groaned and let my hand go from his mouth.

"Change for him? I'm not someone who you can take love advices at. Where's Kai because he's the one you always babble at? " My express lit up as soon as he said the word 'change' and I stood up from my seat and hugged him.

"Thank you for the idea! Now I'll go continue my work so I can earn money to buy things for myself tomorrow "I beamed eagerly and scuttled my way out of the staff break room and resumed my work with many ideas in my head.

-B E O M G Y U-

A month passed by already as I am aware of her changing gradually which I found a bit surprising yet a bit annoyed for some reasons.

Annoyed that she doesn't want to spend time at home all that time watching movies with me but instead learn makeup tutorials and when I want to kiss her cheek or forehead, she would often dodge saying that I might smudge her makeup she worked on hours at and would also dodge everytime I want to ruffle her hair which reminded me of Nana.

I don't mind her changing but the fact that she acts weirdly too infront of me makes me upset because she doesn't act like herself again. But luckily, the other rest of the routine like cooking breakfast and what is still the same.

It's the weekend and there's nothing to do so I decided to try something new by cooking a different dish that I've never tried so I could at least impress her who's a chef herself. I was just tying my apron's strap to my back when I felt a hand brushing against mine and tied it for me.

My lips carved a small smile as I recognized this new floral scent I always smelled every morning since the day she made a drastic change.

"Good morning, how's your sleep Beomgyu-sshi? " she asked in a soft voice as I turned around and tilted my head to the side a bit with my small smile on my lips.

"Great but where's the old nickname you always call me a few months ago? I kinda missed you calling me bam or gyu "I finally asked as she shook her head before answering.

"that's the old style so no need. Oh my... Wait for a minute and don't do something funny in the kitchen without my concern "

My eyes trailed off as I watched her ran away to our room to do who knows what and came back to the living room now after pulling a chair in front of her.

"come here, let me cut your bangs first. It's already long now and let me trim it" Rayeon offered as I nodded and sat on the chair, not even care to take my cooking apron off as she placed a cloth infront of me before tying it on my neck, not too tight and not too loose but just right so my hair would fall at there instead of on my shirt.

After she was finished, she went infront of me and sprayed a bit of water on my hair before lifting up my chin slowly so she can easily cut my hair while she stands up. Her hand lifted up the pair or scissors as I could feel the cold metal on my forehead while she cut off my bangs slowly.

She was too focused and didn't even bother to look at me who's staring at her long as I identified each and every corner of her where she changed. She curled her hair a bit, wear makeup infront of me, wear knee length dresses and always wear this rose scent perfume everyday even at night.

She blew some of my hair so it won't get on my face after being trimmed and brushed some off my face for me so my hair won't prick my eyes or something. I don't know how much time passed by but I know that it's so long that we're in that position in silence, only the sound of scissors snapping each of my hair. She finished and brushed all the hairs from my face and removed the cloth from me as I stand up to brush the imaginary dust on my pants for awhile before staring at her who has her back now facing me.

"Where is my lion? I missed her" I muttered in a low voice but I caught a glimpse of her getting a bit startled at me words.

-R A Y E O N-

"Why do you missed her? She's not that special and interesting "I sighed and placed the scissors down on the coffee table since I am already done as I gathered up the things I brought so I can put it all in their original places.

"I missed her because she's they way she is. Rayeon is Rayeon herself. Some people would say she's not special or interesting then what am I? Just a wall interested with a person? I just...don't understand why you suddenly changed everything in you, it's weird and a bit shocking. A change is a good but I just want you to know that you're already amazing just the way you are " He spoke up making me halt my steps just before I walk away to his room to do what I'm supposed to do.

He turned me around and held me close but not in a hug as he brushed my hair to the side gently before lifting up his gaze to locked with mine.

"You changed here.... "he whispered as his hand slide down my hair before his thumb touched the corner of my eye.

"Here... You added some colors and mascara..."he continued before sliding his thumb down to my cheeks, taking the chance to caress it for a while.

"You changed here too..."

His thumb slide down to my lips for 5 seconds before he slide it down to my neck.

"Your natural red lips were now coated with other shades of lipsticks......you wear perfume everytime.... "

And at last, his hand went down to my shoulder making my heart dropped looking at his now sad gaze at me before he continued.

"You changed your clothes too...you changed everything...it's just...weird to even think that you've changed so fast without telling me why you did this"

"thank you for your words. I know you are saying this because you actually appreciate me. Just why aren't you with your ideal girl if you found me weird doing all of these things? Take Nana as an example, she's perfect...she's everything I can't but try to be like all these time just to get your attention. Yes now I'm speaking the truth. Isn't she whom you always dream of? "I backed away from him and asked softly though my heart is aching inside thanks to me myself who just hurted my own feelings too by telling the truth.

I'm a bit taken aback the fact that he called me weird for trying to be like a normal girl and as elegant as Nana but what hurts more is that knowing that I am making him uncomfortable all these times and now I'm embarrassed to even face him.

I plopped all the things down and ran out of the apartment, not even looking back at Beomgyu who continuously called my name.

I ran on the streets until I bumped into someone that caused me to fall on the stoned ground of the sidewalk as I tried to stand up and hide my face from everyone in the street.

"Rayeon-sshi?" a voice rang in my ears as I uncovered my face and there standing in front of me is Choi Yeonjun who I least expected to be on the busy streets too.

He offered a hand for me to take and I placed mine above his as he helped me get up from the ground when suddenly I felt my other hand being grabbed with a warm hand.

"What happened to you? Did you make her cry? "Yeonjun asked me worriedly at first before asking Beomgyu a question but in a rather deep tone that sent chills down my spine.

"it's none of your business, Rayeon-ah we need to talk for awhile "Beomgyu pleaded as I could feel my hand where Yeonjun held is getting more tighter in his grip.

"Just come with me Rayeon-sshi, I'll take you to your other friends after we grab some coffee. I was just on my way to my hotel but found that your friends are hanging out nearby when I passed by "Yeonjun told but then Beomgyu held my hand tighter as he pulled me near him and glared at Yeonjun.

"Choose now. It's either me...or him" Beomgyu spoke in a cold tone as I glanced at both of them who's having a staring contest that I don't know who started first.

"Can I just ask you a question and please don't be a bomb and explode because I know you're in a really bad mood but why are you wearing a pink apron? "Kai asked, trying to look away while pointing at the apron Beomgyu wears since he looked scared to even glance at Beomgyu who's in his cold mode.

.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome our guest of honor today who just took my girl away from me without any regrets, Choi Beomgyu "

The projector screen showed Beomgyu's who's currently being filmed now and looking down on his feet as a bucket of mop water mixed with something in it was dumped above his head earning some laughs from the group who's on the stage creating a big scene.

.

"I can't just stand so f*ck off you reprehensible uncooked waffle hair. No one wants to know who took your girl you freaking abominable sh*t goblin with your little snakes following you around. Look if you're messing with him then you're messing with me-"
