“EHH??!!” She shrieked, shocked. Baekhyun casually shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know about you, But I’m not this kind of girl." she hissed.

‘How could he even ask me this so shamelessly?’ She pursed her lips. 

“Taeyeon, I’m just asking you to spend the night there-“

“That’s exactly what I’m talking about!” Taeyeon screeched. 

Baekhyun didn’t know what she was talking about. 

“Look, don’t take this in the wrong sense. There’s a huge storm out there. You can’t go home.” he tried explaining. She opened but closed it soon when she couldn’t think of anything to say. She pondered.

“I- aha” she snapped her fingers and squealed. “Huh?” Baekhyun raised his perfect brow. 

‘Why couldn’t she just say yes? He would never do her any harm.’ he thought. “What?” asked Baekhyun impatiently. “Someone I know lives nearby. I could stay at Jung Hee’s” she said unsurely, mumbling the last part. “Eh? Jung Hee?” 

“Yeh, I could surely stay with-“ 

“Don’t you even dare!” Baekhyun shouted, cutting her off and glared at Taeyeon sharply. She was taken a back at his sudden loudness. 

“Excuse me?” she spoke quietly. 

“You can’t stay at man’s house! Never! I won’t allow it!” He spoke through his gritted teeth. 

“Man? Who are you talking about?” Taeyeon was confused. ‘What is wrong with this guy?’

“Jung Hee. Who else? He can go to hell for I care.” Baekhyun murmured. 

“Uh... actually… Jung Hee’s my female friend...” Baekhyun was truly astonished. He was not a ‘he’ but a ‘she’? Well damn those uni names. He cursed under his breath. He gave her a sheepish smile, rubbing the nape of his neck. Taeyeon couldn’t help but chuckle at his utter immaturity.

“Don’t laugh.” 

“Sorry, what was that?” she teased. 

“I said don’t laugh. How would I know that she’s a woman.” He shrugged. 

“You didn’t have to jump to conclusions though.” 

Embarrassed, both Baekhyun and Taeyeon sat there in silence until Baekhyun’s melodic voice sounded, “So are you going to my apartment or not?” 

She shook her head, sighing. “I don’t have a choice, do I?” 

“Nope. You don’t~ ” he said cheerfully and started the engine. 

“You said I couldn’t go to a man’s house. But you’re a guy too.” Taeyeon pointed out. 

“Shsssssh. Don't ruin the moment.” 

“We’re here!” he announced merrily. Baekhyun parked the car in the parking lot. Both of them got off and made their way towards the elevators. 

The elevator ride was an awkward one. Both of them don't know what to say.

“You must be cold, huh?” He asked her as soon as they got inside his apartment. It was an average-sized apartment but it was cozy and Taeyeon liked that part. She nodded. Baekhyun scratched his nose. “You can take a shower, I’ll bring you some clothes.” he left her in the living room.

“Okay.” she replied, biting her lower lip nervously. ‘What has gotten over me?’

Baekhyun soon emerged out of his bedroom with some clothes in his hand. “Here you go.” he handed them to her.

A oversized shirt and sweatpants. “Those should do for the time being,” he added almost carefully. Taeyeon nodded her head once more, not saying anything since she was too shy to do so. “The bed room’s over there. I’ve placed the towels there. So yeah, go ahead.” his ranting was so sudden, that Taeyeon couldn’t find the words to reply him with.

Taeyeon came out from the bathroom and wrapped a towel around her petite body. She was drying her hair when the bedroom door suddenly burst open, revealing a red-as-a-tomato Baekhyun. Screaming, Taeyeon brought both of her hands infant of her, hiding her chest. 

“OhmiGod!!!!!I’msosorryimsosorry!!!SORRY!!!” Baekhyun himself seemed to be quite shocked. He immediately retreated, shutting t
