Baekhyun sighs for the nth time as he downs the wine in his wine glass, wincing at the taste. “That wine tastes bad.” He giggles before gesturing for the waiter to bring another bottle for them. Joonmyeon shakes his head and sighs. Baekhyun ignores this and smiles in joy when he sees the new one.

 

“It’s been two months, Baek.” Joonmyeon said. “Stop drowning yourself in misery already. This is so immature.”

 

“Hmmm… I’m still on my mourning period. you.”

 

Joonmyeon looks up and sighs. “Do you want me to set up a date for you?”

 

Baekhyun hums. “Depends. Does he have a big ?”

 

“A date, Baek. Not a one night stand.” He thanked the heavens that they’re in an exclusive restaurant. No paparazzi should know of what Baekhyun is doing at the moment. A drunk Baekhyun is a crazy Baekhyun after all. “Look, he’s a great guy and he’s really fond of you.”

 

“The fake me or the real me?”

 

“All of you.” Joonmyeon said. “Please, just please give this a try.”

 

“See that’s where you’re wrong because hyung-ah,” He twirls his finger in the air. “I am very capable of finding someone for myself, see? I don’t need no matchmaker or any kind of those bull.” He takes a sip on his drink and softly moans at the taste. “This is heaven, I swear.”

 

“Well, if you changed your mind.” Joonmyeon hands a card. “This is his contact.”

 

Baekhyun raises a brow and accepts the card. He looks at the item with a bored expression. “D.O, huh? So mysterious. I don’t think I have any use for this.” He drawls. “But sure, I’ll keep it.” He takes his wallet out and slips in the card. “Just because you’re my favorite hyung.”

 

Joonmyeon sets his lips in a firm line. “I’m still not gonna name my son after you, Baek.”

 

“Darn it.”

 

 

 

 

 

Baekhyun smiles stretches his body with a yawn. “That was nice.”

 

“Uh-huh.” Yonghwa, that famous singer of a band, grins next to him on the bed. “I think, we should do it next time. Don’t you think so?” He leans down and kisses his exposed collarbone and pins him down on the bed. Baekhyun giggles at the ticklish feeling.

 

“Then save my number.”

 

 

 

 

 

Jongdae pauses midway at his story about how their cute future son is doing in their surrogate when he hears his friend’s phone ring. Baekhyun pauses midchew and checks on his phone. Once he sees the caller, he frowns and hides his phone back in his jacket pocket. Jongdae narrows his eyes. Baekhyun raises both brows.

 

“What?”

 

“Who was that?” Jongdae wiggles his brows. “New boyfriend?”

 

“More like a clingy one night stand.” Baekhyun pauses for a moment. “Well, it’s not technically a one night stand because we had so many times but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s clingy.” He points out with a firm nod. Jongdae rolls his eyes.

 

“Hey, ever since you and Kyungsoo broke up you’ve been back on your old ways.”

 

Old ways. It’s actually their old ways but his best friend met Joonmyeon, an assistant director on set where Jongdae was working as a stunt director. Then they talked, got to know each other, and started dating and then bam! They got married and is currently waiting for their son to pop out of their surrogate. That leaves Baekhyun alone with the habit.

 

But he also stopped because he began to start dating which results in two failed relationships. Aw.

 

“Well, relationships aren’t really that great for me, bud.” Baekhyun grins and continues to wolf down the sandwich on his hands. “Besides, I think I’ll do well being single. Love relationships rarely lasts if you’re a celebrity anyways.”

 

“Oh, Jongdae! I’m sorry I’m –“ Baekhyun turns his head and almost chokes when he sees Kyungsoo. He immediately drinks his water with big gulps. “…late.”

 

“Oh, no. perfect timing.” Jongdae grins. “Come and sit.”

 

“Wait, I should go.” Baekhyun stands up and throws some bills on the table. “I actually have to go meet someone. He’s probably waiting for me, I don’t know. He keeps on calling.”

 

Jongdae blinks twice. “But I thought –“

 

“Yeah, me too. Say hi to hyung for me!” Baekhyun cheekily smiles and walks past his ex-boyfriend without much of a glance. Once he got out of the restaurant, he made a mad dash out after pulling his hoodie to cover his head. He hates himself for looking like a fool in front of his ex and he hates himself the most when he caught himself drinking the sight of the man after not seeing him after so long.

 

Most of all, he hates himself for even feeling this way even after all the effort he did for moving on.

 

 

 

 

 

Baekhyun stares at his conversation with Kyungsoo on the messenger app.

 

Their last talk was long ago with Kyungsoo telling him that he already ate and that Baekhyun should not forget to eat well due to his long schedule. He had replied a heart emoji and a peace sign before finishing it with a good night. Kyungsoo sends a smiley emoji and then a good night I love you in which Baekhyun replies with a heart emoji and an I love you, too.

 

Their break up to be honest wasn’t official. Or rather it looked like it was after he refuses to answer his calls. But at that moment, he felt like he wants Kyungsoo to feel what he’s been feeling all that times when the younger doesn’t even accept his calls or acknowledge his presence. Immature, yes, but he’s already full of it.

 

However, Baekhyun finds it silly how he ends up lying on the bed before going to sleep, staring at their conversation like a creep. It’s not like Kyungsoo cares or anything. He might have even blocked him on messenger.

 

All of the sudden, he sees three waving dots telling that the other party is typing. Baekhyun’s eyes went wide. Oh, … Kyungsoo’s gonna tell him something. Like an idiot, he waits and waits, staring at the three dots like there’s no tomorrow.

 

But it never came because those dots disappeared and there’s no message that popped up. Baekhyun tried to restart his app and then his phone thinking that it only got delayed. But to no avail, there was really no messages. Baekhyun sighs and stares at his phone a little bit longer. Maybe… Maybe he’ll just stop being a whiner and reach out first.

 

Hey, how are you?

 

Delete.

 

How you doing, Soo?

 

Delete.

 

I heard you’re now trying it for W magazine. That’s great!

 

Delete.

 

I miss you.

 

Baekhyun closes the app in frustration and throws his phone on the cold side of the bed next to him. Then he turns his body around and lets out a sigh of frustration, clamping his eyes shut and willing himself to sleep.

 

On the other side, Kyungsoo stares at his phone in dejection when he doesn’t see any messages popping up from Baekhyun. He’s also tried restarting the app and then his phone in case it only got delayed, but no. He mutters a curse under his breath and chooses to sleep instead.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“You’ve been spending an awful lot of time at work today.” Joonmyeon comments. “I heard some casting director wanted you in a drama series. Are you going to push it?”

 

“Nah, been thinking about it.” Baekhyun answers. “I don’t think me and acting doesn’t fit too well.”

 

“I still think you’re going to go for it.”

 

Baekhyun grins. “You know me too well.”

 

“So have you been thinking about what I’ve told you?” Joonmyeon grins. When Baekhyun flashes him a confused look, he sighs. “That guy I was talking about. I really, really think you should go and give him a shot. Who knows? You might like him.”

 

“Ha.” Baekhyun scoffs a laugh. “Not gonna happen.”

 

Joonmyeon sighs. “If you say so. Just… think about it in case.”

 

Baekhyun narrows his eyes. “Why are you even so hell bent on wanting me to hook up with this D.O guy? Is he even good-looking?”

 

“Very.”

 

“How good looking? Lee Junki kind of good looking or leaning more on Jo Insung kind of good looking?”

 

“Ah,” Joonmyeon purses his lips. “Leaning more to Song Joongki.”

 

“Then he must be very attractive then.”

 

“Very.” Joonmyeon presses. “I told you. Just add his number on Kakao to start things off. No pressure.”

 

“If he’s very attractive, the best move I should take would be asking to meet up with him.”

 

“No!”

 

Baekhyun raises a brow. “No?”

 

“H-He’s shy.” Joonmyeon stutters. Baekhyun raises both brows. “Like I told you, he’s very fond of you. Kind of like a secret admirer. Meeting face to face would freak him out if it’s too soon. You guys should talk to each more for a while, you know, so that when you meet it won’t be awkward.”

 

Baekhyun narrows his eyes. “Fine.” He pulls out his phone and his wallet, plucks the card and proceeds to enter the number in his phone. When he sees the word D.O pop out of Kakao, he adds it as a contact and shows it to Joonmyeon. “There. Satisfied?”

 

Joonmyeon beams. “I can assure you, he’s a great guy. Honest.”

 

“Yeah, yeah.” Baekhyun waves in dismissal and blows a raspberry.

 

What could go wrong?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Baekhyun stares at his phone. His thump automatically hovers over the messenger app. But since he’s going to finally start on moving on from his ex, he presses hi kakaotalk instead. He lets out a sigh and types in the first word that comes to mind when talking to strangers.

 

Hey.

 

Smooth, Byun. Smooth.

 

D.O accepted his request and adds him as a contact and a friend before a reply popped up.

 

Oh, hello.

 

So you’re a friend of Joonmyeon-hyung?

 

Yes.

Wait.

Are you Byun Baekhyun?

 

Baekhyun raised a brow.

 

Yeah, I am.

 

Like the legit Byun Baekhyun?

 

There’s a nagging feeling at the pit of his stomach that this might be a stalker, but he shrugs the feeling off instead and decided to just it.

 

The one and only.

 

You’re not a poser, aren’t you?

 

Okay, this is getting annoying maybe he should just quit.

 

I swear to god if this is you Jongdae I will kill you.

Like I will cut your balls and feed it to my dogs.

And I will do it with no mercy.

 

Baekhyun laughs. Oh, he likes this D.O guy already!

 

Relax, big guy. It’s really me. :)

 

Oh

My

God

 

Baekhyun smiles to himself and lays down on the bed with the phone on his hands.

 

It’s going to be a long night.

 

 

 

 

 

Heechul gives him a big pat on the back. “Yo, casting director scheduled a meeting at the fourth so cleared out all of your plans there. You good, right?” When Baekhyun doesn’t answer, he peeks on the living room from the kitchen and raised a brow. “Yo, manager speaking. Are you there?”

 

Baekhyun snaps back to reality and looks up from his phone. “Yeah?”

 

Heechul must have noticed his rare smiles and that pink hue dusting his cheeks. “New boy?”

 

“No!” Baekhyun scoffs a laugh and nearly jumps in excitement when he saw a reply. He was so deeply concentrated in typing out a reply that he did not notice his manager go ninja and pop out behind him with that -eating grin on his face. He shrieks when he sees a fistful of hair covering half of his face. “Y-Yah! Ever heard of privacy?”

 

“Ah, new boy.” Heechul grins. “He’s got charisma, I tell you. Smooth talker. Be careful, alright kid? If ever you’re going to meet smooth talker in public or you two have started dating, careful not to let dispatch catch you. I don’t want to be roasted by that blasted CEO.”

 

At the mention of dating, Baekhyun’s face popped red. “I-I told you, it’s not like that!”

 

 

 

 

 

Well, it is like that… Baekhyun hopes.

 

Good morning! I saw a corgi puppy today and it reminds me of you.

 

A corgi puppy? Why?

 

Because it’s so cute.

 

Baekhyun has to bite his fist in order to stop himself from squealing out loud.

 

I told you no flirting >.<

 

It’s not flirting. It’s being honest. ;)

 

Baekhyun laughs and leans back on his chair, fingers quickly working up a reply.

 

 

 

 

 

Another lazy night, Baekhyun lies on the bed and finds himself staring at pictures of him and Kyungsoo. Despite chatting up with D.O, he somehow still reels back in to Kyungsoo for reasons unknown. It’s probably because Kyungsoo’s the first person he ever dated seriously. Promises of forever still echoing in his ears and light kisses creeping up on his spine.

 

He now admits, he still misses him. But what’s the use of it? They’re never getting back together anymore. If ever they do, it’s going to be another new ed up mess and they’ll break up again. After all, he doesn’t believe in having a second chance in a relationship.

 

What are you doing?

 

Baekhyun was in the middle of scrolling past pictures when he read that pop out. He smiles and presses the pop up message to open up the app. His fingers work on a reply.

 

Rolling on the bed.

 

Bored?

 

Not really.

 

Well, I am. Friends want me to come bar hopping with them. I don’t do bars.

 

Not feeling it or you’re trying to look good for me?

 

Both? ;)

 

Baekhyun giggles quietly and arranges himself so his head is perched up on two pillows. It was really an accident, but before he could process what he just typed, he unconsciously pressed send. His eyes went wide.

 

I miss my ex.

 

, he screwed up. He’s afraid D.O’s going to get offended. , Byun. Just when there’s something going on between the two of you.

 

That’s understandable. I miss mine, too.

 

Baekhyun’s eyes went wide in shock that he forgot to send a reply, instead reading the message over and over again.

 

You’re not replying.

You jealous?  ;)

 

As if. What do you mean by ex?

 

Ex-lover? Ex-boyfriend? Something like that. Do you want me to tell you the dictionary version? British or American English?

 

Funny.

 

Anyways, it’s only natural for you to miss someone. He’s a part of your life for a long time and when he’s gone, it feels so foreign with the new routine you’d going to have to do every day now.

It’s only natural to miss someone you lost.

 

Baekhyun doesn’t want to admit this but somehow he feels a bit jealous. D.O’s ex must have been so stupid for even letting go such a man like him. He can’t help but be curious about it, but he doesn’t want to let the man know more personal things because if he asked who the person was, it’s automatic to tell who his ex was that’s he’s pertaining to. For all he knows D.O thinks his ex-boyfriend was is still Kris. The public never knew of his and Kyungsoo’s relationship after all.

 

You really loved him that much?

 

Yeah. Every break up is so sad.

Why are we even talking about negative things anymore?

It’s making me depressed.

 

Well, if it comforts you, I loved mine too.

 

It took a while before D.O replies.

 

I bet with someone like you, he’s crawling on his knees trying to get you back.

 

Baekhyun bitterly smiles. Kyungsoo would do that? He shakes his head. No, the both of them has too much pride to even do that. Sending a message used to be so easy and natural for them. Now, they can’t even talk straight nor look at each other in the eye anymore. He hates himself for even sharing mutual friends with the guy.

 

No. I don’t think that’s gonna happen. And even if he did, I don’t think I can take him back.

 

Why not?

 

Because…

 

Baekhyun bit his lower lip, slightly hesitating. But if he’s hoping for this relationship to evolve, he’ll just have to take risks.

 

I think I like you.

 

It took another pause before a reply pops up.

 

You think or you know?

 

I think. I’m still not sure about my feelings, but it’s safe to say that I’m getting there.

 

You’re making my heart race.

 

Baekhyun blushed.

 

You have no idea.

 

 

 

 

 

“Hey, what does D.O looks like?”

 

Baekhyun interrupts Joonmyeon in the middle of his rant about Jongdae not putting his dirty clothes in the hamper. With a small smile, he shrugs and purses his lips. “Why? I thought you’re not that interested on D.O? Why should I tell you?”

 

Baekhyun huffs. “Oh, come on, hyung. You’re the one who introduced him to me.”

 

“Well, he’s good-looking if you haven’t noticed it yet by the amount of times I mentioned it.” Joonmyeon trails. “And… I’m not really that good in describing.” Baekhyun sighs.

 

“Do you have any picture or anything??”

 

Joonmyeon nervously laughs. “A ton, actually. But I promised him not to show his face to you.” Baekhyun lets out another frustrated sigh. “Sorry, Baek. Maybe you’ll just wait until he’s the one who asks you?”

 

“I want to see him so bad, you have no idea.” Baekhyun moans in agony. “I even want to hear his voice but he never accepts my call.”

 

“Like I told you, he’s shy.” Joonmyeon said. “Give it time.”

 

 

 

 

 

Baekhyun’s ually frustrated.

 

And he’s embarrassed to admit to the other man how he craves for the other to finally appear and satisfy this urges. He tried to go and do another one night stand stunt just to satisfy him but he can’t because he likes D.O and he wants D.O himself to do him. . feelings.

 

He wants to see him so bad that he decides to play dirty.

 

Baekhyun lies on his back after taking a shower, a bottle
