Double-dealing07.
"The last time I fell in love.. Was long ago...
I didn't know how to give my love.. At all.. "
Baekhyun's alluring voice caressing the bride ears as he sang his heart out for the guest against the stage. It was one of his favorite song, The Last Time by Eric Bennet. The man used to sing the song on the day he proposing to the woman he marry. Around the corner sat the beautiful bride, watching him sing with her eyes lit up with excitement and adoration. Meanwhile there was the woman he marry sat uncomfortably against her seat, watching the two of them doing an eye contact more than once followed by a shy smile find its way into the bride's lips.
Her heart aches. She just want to leave. Nora quickly tore her gaze away from the stage as she felt her tears is starting to grow. She felt pathetic.
"How was Mongryongie? I miss that boy.." The voice of a woman she addressed as mom caused Nora to looked up. Trying her best to push back her tears on the corner of her eyes.
"He's getting chunky. Maybe you should check on him yourself.."
Baekhyun's mother smiled. She noticed something was off from the woman but she decided to stay silent because she was afraid of hurting her feelings. The two of them continued to talk before Nora was left alone again. A few people just came into their table to meet his mother. Nora assumed they were his mother's old friends.
She took a sip from her drink before her gaze fall into the stage. He was no longer singing. The woman stood up from her seat. Eyes searching for her husband because she didn't spotted him being near with the bride. And then there he was. Laughing heartily in a group of people gathering with his drink gripped around his fingers. She walked up into him in a slow steps while her mind couldn't stop thinking about how could he laughs like there is nothing wrong with his life and people around him.
"Baekhyun.." The man was about to leave as Nora caught his wrist softly.
"Oh— what's wrong sweetheart?" He turned around and found the woman he loves stood directly in front of him looking so damn pretty. Baekhyun noticed she was wearing a light make up paired with simple white dress that reached below her thighs. Damn, she's so gorgeous. He leaned closer as she told him to. She said she wants to leave early.
Baekhyun then realized something. He felt guilty all of sudden after what he did to her. He also realized that the woman he loves for the first time looks exactly like the bride. How? The man watched her back disappearing through the hall with a completely blank feeling inside his heart. She must already knew about what is actually going on between him and the bride, Yer
