“W-What?” D.O stared wide-eyed as his friend.

“I like her.”

“Hyung, are you therious?” Sehun blinked in surprise.

“Very serious.”

“Baekhyun.” Suho cleared his throat. “When did you find out that you liked her?”

“Every since she started tutoring me I guess” Baekhyun scratched the back of his head. “But I didn’t realize it until now.”

“But the’th with Kai now.” Sehun stated. “Are you going to confeth?”

“I know, I know. I don’t know yet.” Baekhyun sighed out and leaned his elbows on the table. “You guys aren’t going to ask why I like her?”

D.O shook his head while Sehun shrugged. “Not really, I mean she’s…” Suho tried looking for the right words. “… Special.”

Baekhyun smiled. “Yes, she is special.”

“What are you going to do? The bet ends soon and we don’t know how she’ll think of us afterwards.” D.O asked.

“I don’t know…” Baekhyun mumbled. “I don’t know…”

Baekhyun opened the door to his office-tel and walked in. “Heesung?” He called out but he didn’t get any answer. That’s when he noticed that your shoes were gone as well as your jacket. He walked up to the loft and saw that your bag was still there but you weren’t. Were you at the café? He was about to reach into his pocket and get his phone but then he heard the door open.

“Heesung?” He called out and he saw you walk in.

“Yeah?”

“Oh, there you were.” He sighed out and walked down the loft. “I just came home and you weren’t here.” He said and chuckled. He felt different now that he admitted to himself that he has feelings for you. He wasn’t sure how to act or speak.

“Ah, sorry-“

“No need to apologize.” Baekhyun smiled widely making you raise an eyebrow. “Are you heading to the café later?”

You nodded as you walked past him to the loft. “I have to help Youngjae with the delivery that arrived this morning.”

“Was it that why you left earlier?”

“Yeah.”

“Did it go well though?”

“Yes, it did.” Baekhyun heard you rummaging through your bag on the loft and he wondered what you were doing while he was sitting on his couch. After a while you walked down the stairs dressed in a pair of jeans and one of his shirts he lent you. He couldn’t help but smile widely when you skipped down the stairs. “Going already?” He asked when he saw you put your shoes on.

“Yeah, don’t forget that I need to run an errand tonight so I’ll be coming home late.”

Baekhyuns smile fell when you reminded him about that. “When do you think you’ll be home?” He asked in a small voice when he slowly got up to lock the door behind you.

“I don’t really know. Around midnight maybe?” You sounded so casual about it.

“You’ve ran errands that late before?” He asked.

“Yeah, don’t worry. They’re usually indoors so I’ll be fine.” You opened the door and he grabbed the doorknob. “Don’t stay up late, ok?” You said before you smiled and left him.

Baekhyun sighed and opened the fridge to look for something to eat after you left. That’s when he saw a few Tupperware’s stacked on each other; the top one had a note on it. Picking It up he read: ‘Heat for two minutes in the microwave. /H’, He smiled and began taking the other Tupperware’s out of the fridge. Thanks Heesung.

You quickly passed by your house to get an outfit for tonight and took the chance for a quick shower and makeover for the club. Grabbing a bag with your stuff in you hurried to the bus and headed for the café.

“Hey, boss!” Youngjae greeted you when you walked into the kitchen.

“Hey, how’s it going?” You asked while you tied your small apron around your waist, this time you weren’t wearing glasses since you knew that none of the boys were here anyway.

After helping Youngjae with the new supplies and carrying them into the stash room you began helping in the café. When night fell and the café closed you and your staff began redecorating the café so it’s how it usually looks like when the club opens. Kevin started fixing the lights while Jongup replaced tables and chairs. Daehyun helped by cleaning up the place and preparing the podium for Zico. Youngjae began making snacks placing them on the bar counter.

Zico arrived after a while with his equipment and began preparing them. “Hey, girl!” He greeted you when you came to him with a glass of water. “Thanks, how you doin? Ready to party tonight?” He asked before he took a gulp of water.

“Of course I am.” You laughed. “But I can’t keep the club open to long.” You sighed.

“Ah, I understand. I don’t mind that though. Means I can get some extra sleep tonight.” He chuckled and you agreed with him before you left. The clubs bouncers arrived as well and prepared themselves in the dressing room before coming out in their charcoal black suits. One of them greeted you with a smile. “Hey, Heesung. Long time no see.” He said and you smiled back.

“Hey, Woobin-oppa. Yes, it’s been awhile.” Just then your other bouncer walked out while fixing his blazer. He looked up and smiled as well.

“How are you, Minho-oppa?”

“I’m great, Heesung-ah.” He answered and gave a small bow.

“I was wondering if you two could exchange shifts through out the night? I need an extra guard in here in case.”

The two tall men nodded. “Of course we can!”, Woobin answered. “I’ll be starting in here?”

“Sure.” You nodded then checked your watch. “Ok, thirty minutes until we open!” You yelled and your staff answered in a chorus. “Yes, boss!”

“I better head out then.” Minho said and put his sunglasses on and fixed his earpiece. “I’ll see you later.” He fist bumped his friend and bid you goodbye before he walked out the other doorway you use for the club.

“I’ll stand over there.” Woobin said and pointed towards a corner. He put his sunglasses on as well and fixed his earpiece before walking away.

You turned around and saw that almost everyone was dressed and ready. “Daehyun, hurry up and go change vest!” You yelled at him and he looked up and nodded before he ran towards the dressing room. “Zico, you almost done?” He gave you thumbs up and placed his huge headphones on before he took his leather jacket off.

“Kevin, are the lights ready?” Kevin stepped down from the ladder. “Yes!” He breathed out as he folded it together again.

“Ok then, hurry and put that back!” He saluted and carried the ladder away with the help of Woobin.

Daehyun and Youngjae walked out of the backroom while fixing their clothes. You walked towards Daehyun and fixed his bowtie around his collar. He was going to stand by the bar tonight and work, usually the bartender and the staff has an similar uniform like the waiters except their black vests were satin red with black backs when the club is open. You fixed Daehyuns blonde hair as well before you let him behind the bar. You ruffled Youngjaes hair while he fixed his belt around his jeans. You turned around and saw that everyone was ready and Zico was going through a couple of discs.

“Everyone ready?” You asked and everyone yelled ‘Yes, boss!’ making you smile. “Arasso! It’s my turn to get ready now. Zico, can you please begin playing?” Zico nodded and gave you thumbs up while he pressed a couple of buttons on his DJ equipment. “Woobin, tell Minho that he’s supposed to let people in, in about ten minutes, alright?”

Woobin nodded from his corner. “Yes, ma’am!” Then he held his earpiece and began talking to Minho who stood outside.

You nodded to yourself before you headed to the dressing room to prepare yourself as well. When you were done you already heard the music and people outside that started partying and screaming. You re-touched your makeup and fixed your red dress for tonight and checked yourself in the mirror one last time before heading out to the club.

Baekhyun was sitting by his kitchen table while impatiently shaking his leg. He glanced at his clock and saw that it was almost one thirty and you weren’t home yet. You said that you’d be home around midnight… Baekhyun was already dressed in sweats and a wife beater with his hair messed up because of all the ruffling he’s done. “Where are you…?” He mumbled and stood up. He hasn’t done much since you left since he became bored quite fast. He ate the food you prepared for him, which he loved, he’s showered, watched two movies, late TV shows, played with his phone, tried to do some homework… He’s been walking around his place for the past two hours in worry because you haven’t called or messaged him if you were ok or not, or if you were on the way home. He tried to go to sleep but his worry for you made it impossible and he knew that he already had dark circles under his eyes.

Just when he was about to walk into his room he stopped mid step when he heard his door slowly open. He heard it close and lock when he made his way towards his hallway.

“Heesung?” He called and you turned to him when you just hung your jacket on one of the hooks. He sighed out in relief when you greeted him and walked towards him.

“What are you d-“ Baekhyun didn’t let you finish before he grabbed you in his arms and leaned his chin on your shoulders.

“I was worried about you.” He confessed and you lightly wrapped an arm around him.

“Why?”

He let you go but kept his hands on your shoulders and gave you an are-you-serious? look.

“You said that you’d be home around midnight but it’s almost two o’clock! I didn’t know if I should call you or not and you didn’t even text me that you were coming home! I got worried!”

“I thought you were sleeping.” You said.

“How could I when didn’t know if you were safe or not. What were you doing anyway? It’s really late!”

“I was running an errand just like I told you. It was for my brother since he couldn’t do it.”

“For your brother?”

You nodded and Baekhyun removed his hands from your shoulders. You smiled and placed your hand on his cheeks. “Thank you for worrying, I appreciate it. But I can take care of myself, ok?” You said.

Then you walked passed him to the loft. Baekhyun felt his face warm up after you touched his face. “Baekhyun?”

He quickly whipped his head to the loft. “Yes?”

“Do you mind if I take a quick shower? Or are you planning to go to sleep?”

“No I don’t mind! Feel free to use it! I’ll be in my room.”

“Thank you.” You said and walked down the stairs holding some clothes and the towels he lent you the other time.

“A-Ah!” He said and hurried to his room. “D-Do you need another t-shirt to borrow? You’ve had that f-for a while…” He mumbled and walked into his room.

You looked at the t-shirt you used ever since you came here. “I guess… If you don’t mind.”

“Of course I don’t!” He said from his room and closed his drawer. “Here” He handed you another t-shirt with a smile.

“Thank you.” You smiled back and closed the bathroom door and locking it.

Baekhyun closed his door as well and lied down on his bed when he heard his shower turn on.

 

-

 

You were wearing a pair of shorts under the new t-shirt he lent you, which was red with an iron man face on it and it made you chuckle when you pulled it on. After ruffling your hair with the towel you put your glasses back on and walked down the stairs. When you didn’t get an answer from Baekhyun after you’ve knocked on his door three times you slowly opened it and peeked in.

Baekhyun was lying under his covers on his stomach and you slowly shook your head. You were about to turn his lights off since he forgot himself when he mumbled some incoherent words and slowly woke up.

“Heesung?” He said in a sleepy voice and squinted his eyes.

“Yeah?”

“Are you done showering?” He asked and laid his head down on the pillow again.

“Yes.” Then you saw his left hand slowly patting the edge of his bed and you walked in and took a seat where he was patting. “What is it Baekhyun?” You whispered.

“I’m really happy that you came back safe…” He mumbled before he yawned and closed his eyes.

“Thank you for worrying.” You said and were about to get up when you felt him grab your hand.

“No…” He said and slowly shook his head still keeping his eyes closed. “… Can you stay for a while?”

“Baekhyun, you need to sleep.” You answered and tried standing up again but he tightened his hand around yours.

“I’ll sleep better if you stay for a while.” He said and tried to open his eyes but failed and kept them closed. Sighing out, you gave up. “Can I at least close the lights first?”

“Promise to come back?”

“Promise.” He slowly let your hand go and you stood up and switched his lights off and turned his bedside lamp on instead. You then sat down on the edge of his bed again with your legs crossed. Baekhyun turned around so he was lying on his right side, he then reached for your hand again and you just watched as he brought it close to his face. He was holding your right hand with his left on top of yours and when he brought it up close to his face he intertwined his fingers over yours. You stared at your hand in his before you turned to him. “Thank you…” You heard him mumble.

You stared at him for a while when you noticed that he’d really fallen asleep, his light snores filled the room. You tried twisting your hand out of his but he ended up gripping it slightly tighter when you had your palm facing upwards, now the two of you were really holding hands with intertwined fingers.

You sighed out when you gave up and pulled your legs up and lied down on your stomach beside him. You couldn’t help but stare at his sleeping face with the thought of that sooner or later you’d have to reveal yourself to him and the others. You were sure that they wouldn’t talk to you anymore afterwards but you didn’t really mind.

After lying there for a few minutes beside Baekhyun you slowly tried to get your hand out of his and this time you managed. Slowly getting up from his bed you turned his lamp off and tip toed out of his room.

Baekhyun walked out of his room and saw that you weren’t anywhere to be seen. That’s when he quietly walked up to the loft and sighed out when he saw you sitting on the mattress with your legs crossed. You looked up from your phone when you heard him coming closer.

“Good morning.” You said and Baekhyun yawned.

“Good morning.”

“How did you sleep?” You asked and put your phone away.

Baekhyun smiled and nodded sleepily. “Good, good.” Then he sat down on the mattress and lied down with his head on your pillow. “I’m still a bit sleepy though.” He added.

“Then go back to sleep. It’s barely ten.”

“Can I? Here?”

“It’s basically your mattress, so I guess.” You shrugged making Baekhyun chuckle with his eyes closed.

“Smells like apple.” He mentioned and breathed in. “Smells like you.”

“No .” You rolled your eyes behind you lenses.

Baekhyun laughed before he breathed out and turned to his back. You then lied down beside him with your back against him to continue looking at your phone. Baekhyun opened his eyes and turned his head towards you and smiled before he closed them again.

“Heesung, I’ll be going out for a while!” Baekhyun said and zipped his sweater up while walking out of his room. “I’ll be meeting up with the guys!”

“Say ‘Hi’ to them from me!” You said from the loft and Baekhyun knew that you meant everyone else but Kai and Chanyeol.

“Bye!”

“See you later.”

 

-

 

Baekhyun gulped when Kai just said that he’s going to end the bet on Friday next week. That’s in like a week… Baekhyun thought and exchanged glances with Suho. All of them were sitting at a café in the mall and had just eaten lunch.

“Any plans?” Chanyeol asked and leaned back in his seat.

“I was thinking of dumping her in front of people.”  Kai scratched his chin in thought.

“Oh, harsh.” Chanyeol grinned.

Baekhyun gulped and felt Suho giving him a light pat on the back. Baekhyuns heart hurt while he listened to his two friends talking about how Kai would dump you but just endured everything until it was time to leave.

Kai and Chanyeol walked another way while Baekhyun and the others went the other way. “How are you, hyung?” Sehun asked.

“Not good. I felt really bad listening to them…”

“Me too.” D.O sighed and scratched the back of his neck.

“How are you going to deal with this?” Suho asked.

The four of them took a seat on a bench by a wall to rest. “I have no idea. I mean…” Baekhyun just sighed.

“Hyung, have you tried telling noona about your feelingth?” Sehun asked.

“How could I now? She probably just sees me as a friend…” Baekhyun leaned forwards and supported his elbows on his knees. “I’m friend zoned.” His head fell.

D.O tried to stifle a laughter that threatened to come out.

“She’s not even interested in me anyways, don’t think she would be if she wasn’t dating Kai either. There’s nothing I can do about that.”

“Hyung…” Sehun patted his friends back.

“Are you going to confess before Kai ends the bet?” Suho asked.

“Might be better in my opinion.” D.O said. “Who knows if she’ll hate us afterwards.”

“No! I don’t want noona to hate uth!” Sehuns eyes widened.

“Next week is going to be troublesome.” Suho said and Baekhyun nodded.

When Baekhyun came home he saw you standing by the stove frying something while you were still in his shirt and a pair of shorts. After the two of you greeted each other he leaned on the wall and just watched you. Look at her Baekhyun… She’s perfect. He thought and a small smile spread on his lips. When you turned around and placed meat on his plate he shook his head and went to his table. He could get used to this, you cooking for him, waking him up, you staying in his place. But the thing was that he was already used to it and loved it how it was right now.

You made pork with rice and a lot of side dishes for dinner and Baekhyun loved it like he loved your other dishes you’ve made. The two of you ate and you asked him what he did with the guys.

Baekhyun just said that they walked around and talked about different stuff. “Nothing really special.” He answered and swallowed. “We just hung out I guess. How about you?”

“Nothing much. I fell asleep again then ate.”

 You shrugged and he chuckled.

After the two of you ate Baekhyun helped you with the dishes and once you were done he asked if you wanted to watch a movie and you gladly said yes.

 

-

 

“I can’t believe the main character just died like that…” He mumbled once he turned the TV off.

“Well it was kind of expected.” You casually shrugged.

“But he was so awesome.” He grunted.

“That he was.”

Baekhyun yawned and stood up. “I think I need to sleep now.” He said and slowly walked towards his room to change clothes.

“Me too.” You agreed and made your way towards the bathroom to brush your teeth.

While you were standing in his bathroom brushing your teeth Baekhyun slowly opened the door. “Can I brush my teeth as well?” He asked and you just shrugged and gestured for him to do so. It was his bathroom anyway.

The two of you stood there brushing your teeth together. Baekhyun sat on the toilet cover and tried keeping his eyes open while brushing his teeth, but he couldn’t help and think that the two of you felt like a couple right there, brushing your teeth together.

“Good night, Heesung.” He said from his room.

“Good night, Baekhyun.” You said from the loft and he smiled before he closed his door and go to sleep.

 

-

 

When Baekhyun woke up he stretched before he got out of bed. Walking to the kitchen he noticed that you weren’t there so he walked up to the loft. His eyes widened when he noticed that you weren’t there either. Your bag was gone and the blanket was nicely folded with the pillow on top of it. His shirts that he lent you were nicely folded as well on the mattress.

Baekhyun ran down and checked the bathroom. Your toothbrush was gone as well. What the hell? Baekhyun stopped when he saw a note on his living room table and walked towards it.

He picked it up and recognized your handwriting.

 

Thank you for your hospitality, I truly appreciate it.

I had to leave early morning due to some private matters.

I didn’t want to wake you, hope you had a nice sleep.

There’s breakfast in the fridge just heat it for about two minutes.

Thank you again and I’ll see you tomorrow.

/H

PS. I hid your spare key under your doormat outside.

 

Baekhyun fell on his couch while holding your note in his hand. Leaning his head back he closed his eyes and sighed out. He already felt something strange when he woke up but he didn’t know what but now he did. He wouldn’t be able to see you see you that often anymore now and it saddened him. He wouldn’t be able to see you when he woke you or when he’d go to bed. He had to get used to cooking for himself again, plain boring meals like before. He felt a sting of pain in his heart when he read the note again.

“At least I’d still get to see her at school…” He said to himself. But she’s hardly in class anymore because of Kai. Baekhyun frowned at that thought. The coming week would be troublesome and Baekhyuns had to figure out what he’d do. Should he confess or not?

Baekhyun stood up and walked to his loft. He moved his shirts aside and made the mattress before he got under the covers.

It only took seconds for your scent to replace the air around him. Baekhyun filled his lungs with your smell that was left on the sheets and let it enter his bloodstream.

 

What now, Baekhyun?
