NARRATOR

“You’re homeeee!” Sehun tackled you as soon as you stepped in. Now, Xiumin was behind him, pouting.

“Seriously maknae, I’m the one who does that in China.” He pouted.

You chuckled and pulled away from Sehun. Xiumin extended his arms to you. Chuckling, you happily skipped to his embrace. Baekhyun walked directly to the kitchen. D.O, as if planned, was already there, waiting for him.

“How was your day?” He urged. Baekhyun grabbed a bottle of water and gulped it down his throat in seconds.

“T’was fun.”

Suho came in and sat on the dining table. He drummed his fingers on the table rhythmically. “What ‘fun’?” He smiled. Kai also came in and leaned on the counter, anticipating an answer.

Baekhyun squinted his eyes at his friends. “Gee, guys. We just walked around Dongdaemun.”

D.O clucked his tongue. “How did you two walk?”

Even Kai was confused with that. He looked at D.O weirdly. Baekhyun gave him a ‘what-the-hell’ look. “Uh... with our legs?”

Suho chuckled. D.O snickered. “Dummy! I’m talking about.. uhm, skinship. Were your hands in your pockets all the time?”

Baekhyun smirked. “No. Of course not.”

The guys were intrigued. D.O was literally jumping. Kai was grinning. Suho drummed his fingers in an upbeat rhythm. “Where? Tell us. Tell us. Tell us! Waist? Hands? Shoulders?”

Baekhyun loved his friends’ enthusiasm. His eyes sparkled as he wore his sly smirk. “All of the choices.” He winked and ran off to the living room.

“He her.” Kai blurted out. Suho chuckled and smacked his head. “Baekhyun? Nah. Maybe that’s what you would do.”

D.O laughed. “Right.”

The two left, leaving a whining Kai. “Hyung! I’m not a !” He defended, stomping around.

 The 9 of you gathered in the living room, doing all sorts of stuff. Chen and Chanyeol played videogames, Sehun was trying to snatch Luhan’s bag of chips, Xiumin as usual bickered with D.O, Baekhyun randomly watched television, Suho was on the phone with his secretary while you played thumb wrestling with Kai.

“Your thumb is too long.” You sighed, giving up. Kai grinned and stuck his tongue out. “You’re just a loser at this. Admit it.”

“At least I’m not a .” You retorted. His ears turned red as he shot D.O a death glare. D.O chuckled and smiled innocently at Kai.

NEXT DAY

It was a normal Sunday. You woke up early, attended mass with Suho and Chen, brought breakfast for the sleepyheads.

“We’re home!” You exclaimed as you got in the unit. Luhan groggily walked to you and grabbed the food you bought.  

Minutes after, the table was already set. The guys sat down, half-awake, but in the middle of the meal, it was chaotic. Bread flew here and there, Suho was having a hard time controlling them, Xiumin and D.O bickered endlessly, Chanyeol was rapping, forcing Kai to tell him he’s a pro. Baekhyun and Chen were competing on who can eat faster. Sehun and Luhan were the one throwing the bread back and forth.

Exhaling, you stood up and hurriedly walked out. Some didn’t even notice. Baekhyun looked up. “You’re done?” He called out. You just scowled and buried yourself on the couch.

Your phone started vibrating in your pocket.

Lunch with your handsome Papa, 11.30, wherever you want. Meet me at your mom’s office. – Papa

A smile tugged on your lips as you thought of your father. Baekhyun plopped beside you and poked your cheek. “What’s with the smile?”

You faced him and poked his nose in return. “Lunch with my Dad.”

Baekhyun nodded in understanding. “Want me to send you there?” He smiled warmly. You couldn’t help but get dazzled over and over again with that smile.

You weakly nodded. “Erm.. Sure.”

“How about… we hit downtown now? I’m boreddddd.” Baekhyun tugged on your sleeve, batting his lashes. You snickered. “Your Aegyo… ugh. Learn from Tao Ge.”

He laughed and stood up, extending his hand to you. “Let’s go, my little piggy?”

Biting your lip, you accepted his hand and prepared to go.

An hour after you two arrived at Itaewon.

Just like yesterday, the two of you walked, hand in hand, on the streets, looking at different stalls and shops. Baekhyun would always hold you close. Little by little, you’re starting to admit what you feel. He was doing everything to make you feel the same.

The two of you ended up in a nearby park, red bean sherbets.

“Minhee-ah.” Baekhyun called, looking up the sky.

“Hmm?”

He smiled and looked at your side profile. At that moment, you turned, locking gazes with him. He smiled and wiped your lower lip.

Your heartbeat raced and his touch sent electricity to you. But yes, you like it. It’s undeniable. Baekhyun has the power to make you weak, make you long for him. Make you want him.

“I was thinking… do you want to go somewhere with me tomorrow?” His eyes sparkled as he waited for you to answer. Without hesitation, you mouthed him a ‘sure.’ He grinned and enveloped you in his arms. Just like the night at Hongdae, he was hugging you without any plans of letting go.

*I hope you can be in my arms always.* He smiled and he buried his head on your hair. You relaxed under his body, slowly raising your hands and wrapping it around his waist.

Baekhyun slowly pulled away and looked at you intently. “Wu An Ran.” He whispered, his hot breath on your skin. Even if you were already going wild inside, you tried to breathe properly. “Yes… Oppa?”

He smiled whole-heartedly and gently placed his lips on your forehead. His soft and warm hands caressed your cheek. “I’m happy you came in my life.” He murmured.

The ride to your mother’s office wasn’t awkward at all. Baekhyun felt something inside him was set free. He was just hoping fervently for you to accept him. *Tomorrow, Minhee. Tomorrow I’ll confess.* He smiled at the thought even if he was dying of nervousness.

“Oppa, where are we going tomorrow, anyway?” You chirped, facing him. His heart skipped a beat every time he sees that smile of yours and he loves every moment of it.

“It’s a secret.” He winked. You protested for a while but eventually calmed down.

“Sweet Pea!”  Your Dad ran out of he building’s entrance and enveloped you in his arms. Baekhyun slipped out of the driver’s seat and bowed down to him. “Good Morning, Uncle Wu.” He smiled.

Your father grinned back. “Baekhyun? I haven’t seen you in years! You’ve grown to be a very handsome man!” He tapped his shoulder. Baekhyun chuckled. “Thank you uncle.”

“Do you want to join us for lunch? We have a lot of catching up to do, boy!” He mused, smiling expectantly at Baekhyun. Baekhyun looked at you; he didn’t know what to say.

“Uh, I don’t want to disturb you…” He murmured. Your father chuckled and clapped his hands. “You’re not disturbing! Come, join us, okay? I’ll be happy.” He chimed. You smiled at him encouragingly. Baekhyun smiled too, nodding.

Your Dad was driving through the streets of Seoul, indecisive.

“Where should we eat? Hmmm.” He looked around, his brows furrowed. Baekhyun was pointing out different restaurants to him.

“Actually…” You spoke, interrupting the two. Your father looked at you from the mirror. “Where do you want to eat, honey?”

You grinned and looked at Baekhyun. “I want fast food.”

Your father happily cheered. “Right! The best food in the world!”

Baekhyun chuckled at you two. “They really resemble each other. Cheerful and childish.”

“So, Baekhyun. You’re handling you family business soon?” Your father inquired while munching on French fries.

Baekhyun nodded. “Just some branches, Uncle.”

“That’s a great start. Enjoy your free days, young man!” He teased. Baekhyun just had to laugh at that. *With your daughter, I hope.*

All throughout the meal, it was filled with happy disscussions. Baekhyun, the gentlemen he is, would always hand you what you need. He would glance at you at times to check if you need something. He was getting irked with the guys ogling you at the corner. *Must be college students.* He thought, glaring at them.

Your father, observant as he is, would smile everytime he sees Baekhyun look at you with that kind of flame in his eyes. The kind of look he gave your mother decades ago. He knew, instantly, what Baekhyun was feeling. And he didn’t have any objections to it. He knows Baekhyun as a great man.

“Oops, I think I have a meeting I still have to get dressed. Psh, business suits.” He laughed, standing up. Both of you stood up and bid him goodbye.

“I hope my daughter sees what I see in you, Byun Baekhyun.” He gave Baekhyun’s a light squeee before leaving.

Baekhyun stood there, dumbfounded. He shook his head and went back inside to you.

“Did Papa tell you something?” You smiled. He nodded.

“He just wished me luck on the company.” He lied.

“My father is such a big derp, don’t you think?” You lughed, thinking of your Dad. Baekhyun chuckled. “I like him. He’s fun.”

“He likes you.” You commented. Baekhyun shrugged. “He used to bring me and Kris to his golf meetings. I guess we were 10 at that time?” He giggled at the memories.

“He didn’t even talk to me much. He concentrated on bombarding you questions.”

Baekhyun smiled and reached out to poke your nose. “You baby.”
