“And where are you going today?” Kris asked with a raised eyebrow when you walked into the kitchen wearing your bathrobe around your body and your hair wrapped in a towel, showing that you just stepped out of the shower.

“Out.” You simply answered and opened the fridge looking for a bottle of water to bring up.

Kris leaned his back on the counter and raised his cup of coffee to his mouth. “With who?”

“She’s got a date.” Yongguk stepped in with his messy morning hair and grey sweats, only. Kris now raised both his eyebrows and looked at you as he took a sip of his coffee.

“It’s not a date.” You rolled your eyes at Yongguk who just grinned and leaned back beside Kris, their heights almost similar.

“What date?” Lays head peeked in and looked around the room. It looked like he just woke up as well. You shook your head and smiled at the still so tired looking boy.

“Nothing, Lay.” You said and the boy just nodded and disappeared.

“With whom, may I ask?” Kris asked and Yongguk just kept grinning.

“With the rookie at the café.” Yongguk answered for him. Kris scoffed and gave you a look of disbelief.

“That Kevin boy?” Yongguk nodded and Kris just chuckled with a look of amusement on his face while he took another sip of his coffee.

“Ugh!” You goaned and walked up to your room again. Yongguk and Kris just eyed you as you disappeared before they broke out into grins.

“It’s so a date.” Kris commented and put his coffee cup onto the counter. Yongguk agreed.

“Sure is.”

Kris sighed before he looked at Yongguk. “Wanna bet if he’ll end up in the friendzone?” He asked and a mischevious smile appeared on his lips.

Yongguk raised and eyebrow and eyed his taller friend, contemplating. “Isn’t he already?”

Kris chuckled and slowly shook his head. Yongguk then shrugged. “Sure, why not?”

 

“Who’s in the friendzone?” A yawning Himchan walked into the kitchen making the other two spin around with grins on their faces.

“Nothing.” Yongguk said and shook his head.

“Nothing at all.” Kris shrugged and grabbed his coffee mug from the counter and brought it to his mouth.

Himchan eyed the two suspiciously first before he himself shrugged it off and headed for the fridge.

 

 

You had just put on one of your t-shirts you usually wear at home when your phone rang. Picking up your phone from your desk you expected it to be Kevin but another name appeared on your screen. You placed the phone by your ear.

“Yeobeoseyo?” You answered and wondered why he’d call you.

“Heesung?” Baekhyuns voice was heard. “Hey!”

“Hey?” You held your phone by your ear as you walked back to your closet and looked at your outdoor shirts, deciding what to wear for later. “What is it?”

“I was uh… Wondering…” Baekhyun paused and you waited for him to continue while you rummaged through your pile of neatly folded t-shirts. “If you were free today?” He asked and you stiffened as you had just picked up a t-shirt from your pile.

“Oh, you wanted to study?” You asked.

“No, like… I don’t know. Maybe go out? As friends you know. Just hang out.” Baekhyun seemed nervous because of the tone in his voice.

“Hang out?”

“Yeah, I don’t know. Maybe go to Two Moons?”

“Oh…” You placed a hand on your hip. “I’m sorry Baekhyun. But I can’t today.”

Baekhyun didn’t say anything at first but then spoke up. “Oh, ok. Yeah.” He let out a shaky breath. “I understand. What are you doing?”

“I was going to the mall with a friend.”

“Well oh ok. I see. Maybe next time?” He asked.

“Maybe.”

“Ok then. Well have fun with your friend!” You were about to thank him for that but he immidately hung up which you quickly shrugged off.

 

 

You were sitting and doing your make up first when your phone started to ring again. Picking it up you saw that it said unknown number.

“Yeoboseyo?” You answered.

“Heesung?” Kevins familiar voice was heard on the other line.

“Oh, hey Kevin!” You literally let a small smile appear on your lips as you tried fixing your eyeliner with one hand, which was quite difficult.

“Hey! I was thinking if you wanted to meet up somewhere later?” He asked.

“Sure, where?” You started applying mascara on one eye.

“Hmm…” He paused and thought for a moment. “How about the mall entrance? Noon?”

You glanced at the clock on your wall and it was a quarter past eleven only. You then turned back to your mirror. “Sure! Noon it is then.”

“Great! I’ll see you later!” He said and you literally heard the smile in his voice. “Oh, by the way! I heard that it might be a bit chilly today. Just thought you might want to know!”

“Really? Ok, thanks for telling me.” You smiled at his thoughtfulness. “I’ll see you later.”

You hung up and continued perfecting your eye make up in the mirror. You decided on wearing a light smokey eye with neutral colours, typical Korean eyeliner style and mascara.

You stood up from your seat and walked towards your closet, still haven’t decided on what to wear for later. Kevin said that it might be chilly later on but you weren’t really in the mood for jeans.

Taking out one of your little black dresses you turned towards your full body mirror and held it in front of you. After thinking for a while you decided to put it on. The skirt was slighty puffy but not to much. It hugged your waist not to tight of course, the top was slightly heart shaped flashing a little cleavage but of course, not to much of that either and it was strap less.

You eyed yourself in the mirror again and shook your head. Removing the dress you looked through your red dresses and took one out. After putting it on you slowly nodded at yourself in the mirror. It also hugged your waist and the circle skirt hung around your hips. The top was also slightly heart shaped and flashed a little cleavage like the other one and it had short t-shirt sleeves on.

Nodding to yourself you quickly took out a pair of thin black see through tights and quickly put them on, they had small black hearts on them giving your outfit a hint of cuteness. Sitting back down on your chair you dabbed a little bit of lip tint on your lips and placed a small make up bag in your purse.

After you did so you took all of your hair and put it in a high pony tail. You had slighty curled the ends of your hair before so it looked thicker. You also tugged a little of your baby hair out onto your forehead.

Grabbing one of your thin trench coats you put that on and headed out of your room. Luhan stopped in his tracks when he saw you all dressed up heading down the stairs.

“Going somewhere?” He asked and walked down after you.

“Just out.” You answered and grabbed a pair of black short ankled boots of yours and put them on. They were already adjusted with the laces and they had straps on them for design.

“Where’s my brother?” You asked and Luhan shrugged. “Probably upstairs somewhere.”

“Ah.” You shook your head. “Can you tell him i just went out?” You hadn’t told him about you going out with Kevin today. Luhan nodded and walked towards you to open the door and lock it after your left.

“Thanks, Luhan.” You smiled and he gave a small tired smile back.

“Have fun with whatever you’re going to do today.” And with that he closed the door and you headed for the buss stop.

 

 

 

Baekhyun got bored from just sitting in front of his TV flipping through the boring shows that aired today. He got sad when you weren’t able to hang out with him today but also quite surprised that you had other friends to hang out with as well. He knew that it wasn’t any of his business but he couldn’t help but being slightly curious. He only knew that he and the other boys were your only friends in school but he didn’t know who you knew outside of school.

A knock was heard on his door and he slowly got up from the couch to open it. He was greeted with Suho, D.O and Sehun standing outside of his door.

“Hey, you free?” Suho asked and walked in, followed by the other two when Baekhyun opened the door wider for them.

“Yeah. I’m quite bored.” Baekhyun answered and all of them took a seat on his couch.

“Wanna come with us to the mall?” D.O asked and Baekhyun scratched the back of his head. Why not?

“Sure.”

“Hyung, how about we call Heethung-noona and athk if the wanth to follow?” Sehun looked up with big eyes.

Baehyun slowly shook his head. “I called before but she said that she couldn’t.” He let out a sigh.

“Why not?” Sehuns lips turned into a pout.

“She said that she was going to the mall with a friend.”

“Oh.” Suho slowly nodded.

Wait. She was going to the mall as well! Baekhyuns eyes widened at the thought. What if we bump into her?

“Dude, you ok?” D.O eyed his friend suspiciously.

Baekhyun blinked and quickly nodded. “Uh, yeah! I’ll just go and get ready.” He ran into his room and closed the door behind him.

As Baekhyun looked for clothes to change into he wondered if he’d be able to bump into you at the mall. He was also curious about your friend you said that you were with. Was it a boy or a girl? It couldn’t be a boy… Right?

Baekhyun felt his heat clench at that thought. He’s been having chest pains for the past few days and he wondered if he was getting sick. He’s never felt those kinds of pains before and it made him wonder.

After he changed into a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and a sweater he headed out of his room with his phone, keys and wallet.

“You done?” Suho asked and stood up from the couch, turning the TV off as well.

Baekhyun nodded and ruffled his hair with both his hands, not caring with how it looked right now. “Yeah.”

He put on a pair of sneakers and a jacket with all his stuff in his pockets before he left the apartment and locked the door.

 

Once they got to the mall his eyes started looking everywhere for Heesung. He wondered how you were dressed and if you had your glasses on. Omg, what if she doesn’t have her glasses on! Baekhyun felt a wave of energy pump through him. He might be able to see you without glasses for the first time! But then again… He wouldn’t know if he’d be able to recognize you.

He followed his friends to a clothes store and they spread out to look around. Baekhyun took out his phone and started to write you a message.

__

 

 

Your phone vibrated in your coat pocket and you picked it up to see who messaged you. Your eyes widened when you saw who’s name you saw on the message.

 

From: Annoying Bacon.

Heesuuung, Suho, D.O, Sehun and I are at the mall too! ^^ We’re just looking around though. What are you up too?

 

“Who is it?” Keivn asked and stopped walking to look at you.

“Uh, I think that one of the boys that go to my school is here…” You mumbled and quickly turned around eyeing the place.

“Oh.” Kevin was fully aware of how you were in school and looked around as well. “Is it that brunette boy that sometimes is at the café with you?”

You nodded and sighed. “I’m sorry but I think I have to put my glasses on…” You opened up your purse and dug for your glasses.

Kevin shook his head and smiled. “No, it’s ok! Doesn’t matter for me. I at least got to see you without your glasses today!” You smiled back as you picked your glasses out of your bag and put it on your face.

“Do I still look ok?” You asked and fixed them. Kevin nodded and gave you a thumbs up.

“Still pretty!”  You smiled and thanked him. You quickly wrote a reply to Baekhyun before you and Kevin continued to walk around.

__

 

Baekhyun quickly opened his phone when he heard the pling.

 

From: Heesung

Just walking around as well with my friend.

 

 Baekhyun didn’t like the short answer he got but was about to type something else back but Sehun interuppted him.

“Hyung?” The boy asked and Baekhyun looked up form his phone, quickly putting it away. “Which one ith the nitheth?”

Sehun held up two t-shirts with different graphic designs on them. Baekhyun eyed them both before he pointed to the one he held in his right hand.

“That one.” Sehun looked at it before he nodded and smiled.

“Thankth hyung!” He then ran away disappearing behind some shelves.

He heard his phone pling once again and quickly got it out of his pocket. It was a message from you and he unconsciously smiled as he clicked it open.

 

From: Heesung.

You want to know something?

 

Baekhyun furrowed his eyebrows in wonder as he typed a message from.

 

To: Heesung.

What? O.O

 

His phone immediately plung right after he sent his message.

 

From: Heesung

Your hair is a mess.

 

Baekhyuns eyes widened as he spun around and looked around the store. Can she see me? He didn’t see anyone with glasses or that even looked like you in the store so his eyes found the big window of the store and saw people walking past the shop. He squinted his eyes as he concentrated to find you within the crowd of people.

His phone plung again and he quickly opened the message.

 

From: Heesung.

Behind you.

 

Baekhyun quickly spun around and was met with a shocked Suho who bumped into him.

“Dude!”

Baekhyun gasped and blinked a couple of times before he turned around once more and eyes the crowd in confusion. He didn’t see you but his eyes caught a familiar face laughing in the corner of his eyes. It was the waiter from the café and he turned and walked away with a girl next to him, but he didn’t get a full look of her.

“You ok?” Suho placed his hand on Baekhyuns shoulders and he slowly turned around.

“Y-Yeah.”

Suho eyed his friend before he jabbed his thumb towards the cashier. “We’re just going to pay then we’ll leave ok?”

Baekhyun nodded as Suho turned and walked away. He still didn’t understand what had just happened and tried to figure it out. He didn’t see you in the shop nor outside of it. He didn’t recognize you and he wondered how you could see him but he couldn’t see you.

 

 

“Oh my god! The look on his face when he bumped into his friend!” Kevin laughed as the two of you walked away from the shop you saw Baekhyun in. You decided that it would be fun to play a little game on it and Kevin didn’t hesitate to agree.

“He probably is a bit creeped out now.” You said and placed your phone back in your pocket again. Kevin nodded and chuckled.

 

 

Baekhyun hadn’t said anything to the guys about your texts messages you sent before. He wrote and asked you where you were and why he couldn’t see you but you didn’t reply yet. And he was getting impatient.

“Oh! Cookieth!” Sehun suddenly said and pointed at a cart that sold cookies in the middle of the aisle. The maknae hurried towards the cart making the three boys follow him.

Sehun looked at the different cookies that were displayed behind a glass window on the cart and pondered about which one to get.

“I might want one now myself…” D.O mumbled and stood beside Sehun, both of theym eyeing the big cookies.

Baekhyun sighed and shook his head and took out his phone as he waited for the two to choose one and pay. Even Suho stood with them now, probably thinking about getting one for himself as well.

You didn’t reply to his text yet and it made him wonder if you were just ignoring it or hadn’t seen it yet. He let out a sigh once more before he told the guys that he’d sit and wait by one of the tables beside the cart. Suho nodded without looking away from the cookies and Baekhyun shook his head at his friends.

 

He chose a small round table with four seats and pulled a chair for himself out. His eyes started to look around for anything interesting to maybe waste time a bit while waiting for his friends. When all of them were going to choose something to eat, it’d take forever for them to decide.

His eyes were roaming around different shops and watching people walk in and out of them. His eyes suddenly widened as he saw someone familiar stand outside a shop. He squinted his eyes before they widened once again. It’s that guy from the café again! What was his name again…? Baekhyun watched as he turned his back on him and stretched out his long arm, gesturing for someone to come closer to him. Baekhyun tried looking for the person he was gesturing too but he didn’t see anyone responding to him. Maybe that person was behind the group of girls that were standing in the middle of that aisle. Baekhyun slightly leaned forwards and tried to see if anyone was standing behind them, hiding. He didn’t know why but he had a weird feeling about who it might be.

Once again his eyes widened when he saw a pair of legs that he’d probably be able to recognize a mile away move behind the groups of girls. No way. Baekhyuns breath hitched as he kept focusing on the pair of legs that were dressed in see through black tights. It even looked like they had small polka dots on them or something. He couldn’t see that far to distinguish them but he’d recognize those legs anywhere!

The waiter looked like he chuckled and shook his head before he walked towards the group of girls and reached for the person who stood behind them. Baekhyun felt his heart beat faster, anticipating who it might be.

Baekhyuns heart stopped when the group of girls walked away and exposed who it was the waiter was holding around the wrist.

H-Heesung?

 

Baekhyuns eyes were on you when the group of girls walked away. It had to be you! He was hesitating to believe if it was you or not, but he’d recognize those legs anywhere and those glasses you were wearing.

One of the things that shocked him was that you weren’t wearing bun on your head! For the first time ever, he saw how long your hair was in that high ponytail you had. He even noticed that it was nicely curled in the ends as theyalmost reached the middle of your back. His eyes roamed down your body, eyeing your outfit that you were wearing leaving him in a state of shock.

“Baek?” Suho waved his fingers in front of his face making the boy blink in confusion and look up.

“Yeah?” His eyes went back to were you and the waiter stood but now it was only an empty space.

“What are you looking at?” D.O asked and took a seat beside Baekhyun, his huge cookie on a plastic plate in front of him.

Baekhyun slowly shook his head. “I thought...” He pondered if he was going to tell his friends or not. “Nevermind.”

They all shrugged it off and Baekhyun couldn’t help but eye the place you were just standing a while ago.

 

 

The four of them conversated while they ate their huge cookies, Baekhyun stole a few pieces from D.O who didn’t mind at all. Baekhyun was trying to focus on what his friends were talking about but his mind kept drifting of to you all the time.

He still didn’t know if it was really you he saw, wearing that red dress. But those legs… Baekhyun wondered as well if that friend you were talking about was the waiter from the café! And he didn’t like the way he held your wrist before.

Baekhyuns eyes flew to the store where the waiter was standing in front of before and he noticed him walking out of it, with you by his side.

Without his friends noticing Baekhyun slowly leaned to the side so he could get a clearer  view since Suho sat in the way. He slowly pulled out his phone without taking his eyes from you and the waiter.

You covered your mouth as the waiter started to chuckle and you were probably laughing as well. He’d love to see how you’d look like if you were smiling brightly at him as well. He wondered if that waiter had seen you smile before and the thought made him slighty jealous.

He dialled your number on his phone and brought it to his ear, quickly averting his eyes to you once more.

The waiter and you were about to walk away from the store with your backs turned to him. A little piece inside him didn’t want it to be you who was with the waiter. But he had to be sure.

Baekhyun heard the dial tone ring in his phone and he noticed how you suddenly stopped walking and so did the waiter. He watched as you took out your phone from your pocket and he immediately recognized your phone in your hand. His breath hitched when he heard you answer his call.

“Yeoboseyo?” Your voice was heard and he immeadiately hung up and straightened his back in his seat in schock. No way!

He slighty turned his head to look at you again and he saw how you shrugged and place your phone back in your pocket. The waiter looked down at you once you two started walking again.

“Baek?”

D.O placed his hand on his friends shoulder making him slowly turn to his friends.

“Hyung, are you ok?” Sehun asked as he took a sip from his coke.

“It looks like you’ve seen a ghost or something.” Suho said and raised his eyebrow while he eyed his friend.

“Who were you calling?” D.O asked.

“Heesung…” Baekhyun mumbled and stared at the empty space on the table in front of him.

“Did the answer?” Sehun asked and ate the last piece of cookie. Baekhyun slowly shook his head.

 

 

“Thanks Kevin. I really had a good time.” You said and smiled when you saw your bus approaching.

“My pleasure.” He smiled back and stretched his arm out for a hug, which you gladly gave him.

“I’ll see you at the café sometime soon?” He asked and you nodded.

“Of course!”

He kept the smile on his face even when you stepped on the bus, he waved when you took a seat by the window and you waved back when the bus started to move.

 

You sighed and slowly took your glasses off placing them in your bag again. Today’s actually been fun hanging out with Kevin even though you were a little bit on your watch for Baekhyun and his friends. You also didn’t know why Baekhyun suddenly called before and it made you slightly uncomfortable when he suddenly hung up.

You didn’t reply to any of his texts either since you actually didn’t see them til’ after a while.

You wondered how you’d be able to face him when school starts again. You frowned at the thought of seeing Kai again as well.

 

 

You opened the door and was met with your brother who was on the way out of the kitchen.

“Oh, Heesung-ah!” He smiled and greeted you. “So how was your day with Kevin?” His tone made you raise an eyebrow.

“It was ok. We were just walking around. As friends.” You emphasized the word friends making your brother furrow his eyebrows.

“Ok, then.” He shrugged. He was about to head into the living romm but stopped and turned back to you. “You following to the club tonight?”

You were half way up the stairs when you stopped and thought about it. “Sure, why not.” You answered and your brother nodded and disappeared into the living room and you heard the TV turn on.

 

 

It was already eight-thirty when you brother knocked on your door. “Heesung-ah! We’re leaving a little after nine just so you know!” He said through your door.

“Ok!” You yelled back.

You were just finished with drying your hair with your hair dryer and you were still wrapped in a towel. You thought that I might be best to take a quick shower before you’d go to the club. You opened your closet and eyed you clothes. What to wear…

You decided on one of your halter neck dresses and placed it on your bed before you sat down to put make up on. After you did a smokey eye you hurried and put your hair into two braids and made a bun out of them behind your head. You swooped your bangs to the side before you stood up to put your clothes on.

After you did some finishing touches you heard your brother knock on the door once more. “You done soon?” He asked and you answered him with a yes. “I’ll be waiting downstairs then!” Then you heard his foot steps heading down the stairs.

You looked in your full body mirror one last time and eyed how the dress hugged your body til’ it ended a little past your behind. You were showing a little more cleavage with this dress than with your first one you were wearing earlier today due to the halter neck.

Smirking at yourself you grabbed one of your black trench coats and draped it around your body before grabbing your small purse and headed out your room.

 

As usual the club was as loud as ever when you arrived through the back door with your brother. He left you alone now since he had to go look for Yongguk and start working. After you hung your coat in your locker with your bag you looked in the mirror and made sure your dress was sitting ok.

You were sitting by the bar with a glass of coke as usual and looked at all the people that were enjoying themselves. You looked up at the podium where Zico was jamming with the music. He looked up and suddenly got eye contact with you, he raised his eyebrows and smiled waving at you. You smiled and waved back and he gestured for you to come up to him. You shook your head still smiling but he continued to gesture you over.

After a while you rolled your eyes and stood up, taking your glass with you, you made your way across the dance floor towards the podium where he stood.

 

 

“Hey!” He greeted you over the loud music when you were beside him. You greeted him back and he started pressing some buttons on his DJ equipment before he took his big headphones of and turned to you with a smile.

“It’s been a while we’ve talked!” He said and you chuckled agreeing with him. You and Zico were good friends and you usually come up here to talk sometimes, even outside of the club he’d come visit the café and bump into you.

“How have you been?” He asked and you shrugged.

“I’ve been ok. How about you?” He nodded while pouting.

“Same old, same old. Why don’t you dance a little now, ey?” He asked and reached for his headphones. You sighed and shook your head. He held out his hands.

“Aw, c’mon! I haven’t seen you dance and loosen up for a while!” He grabbed you shoulder and shook you lightly.

After he kept asking you over and over again you gave up and placed your empty glass on an empty space beside one of the huge speakers.

“All right!” He grabbed his headphones and placed them over his blonde head before he turned up the volume making the people scream in the room. You started moving to the beat with your body beside Zico and you noticed other girls joined you too dance beside the DJ. You recognized a few of them from the other times you danced up here and one of them gave you a bright smile and you smiled back and raised your hands above your head.

 

“Whoo!” Zico yelled when he changed up the beat making the crowd scream after him. Your legs started to hurt after a while and you placed your hand on Zicos shoulder and made a sign for him that you’d leave. He smiled and hugged you with one arm before he let you leave the podium.

On the way back to the bar you stopped in your steps when you saw someone too familiar that caught your eye. You raised an eyebrow when you saw the too familiar tan boy sitting by a table with another guy in front of him. What the hell is he doing here?

You slowly made your way towards that table and noticed that the guy in front of him stood up and left leaving the boy alone holding a glass in front of him.

He was looking away when you decided to quickly occupy the seat in front of him placing your elbows on the table, leaning forward.

The boy looked down and raised his glass to his lips when his eyes shot up and met yours. His body stiffened and his glass barely touched his lips when you smirked and lightly titled your head.

“I hope there’s no alcohol in that…” You eyed the glass in his hand. “Kai-shi.”

His body relaxed a bit and he lowered his glass until it hit the table. His eyes went down to your cleavage for a moment before they went back up and met yours again.

“Of course not.” He flashed you his well known smile. “Hyorin-noona.”
