New employee and sick Bacon.

Playing the player

The air in the room dropped when you turned around. Kais eyes widened looking like D.O’s. Gasps were heard everywhere in the room, Chanyeol looked like he was going to faint. Suho and D.O’s mouths fell when they saw you. Sehun just stood and stared at you while blinking. Baekhyun didn’t know what to feel, none of them did. His mind just stopped functioning as you just ruffled your long dark hair. Yongguk and Kris just grinned behind you finding their faces very amusing. Youngjae cheered for himself as if he was the director of the whole thing. Chen ‘ooh:d’ together with Xiumin. It was as if the highlight of the scene just began.

Kai tried to say something but ended up looking like a goldfish. Zelo snickered while he took a picture of Kais face with his phone, no one noticing.

Everyone in the room except those who knew you just stood and stared with their mouths open.

“Missed me?” You asked and faked a giggle.

Kai felt all his blood drain from his face when you made your way towards him. “Bet you did.” You smiled and his chin with your fingers. “How are you, Kai-shi.” You wrapped your arms around his neck and he kept staring at you. “Ah, loss of words?”

“I-“ He started. “How- What-?” His voice was very faint, and you saw him gulp out of shock.

You just chuckled and shook your head. “How does it feel, Kai? To be played around with as well?” You smiled and looked him in the eye. “How’s your heart? Is it breaking? Does it hurt? I really hope it does.” Your smile fell and your eyes turned dark.

“You’re really stupid you know.” You said and let go of him. “How could you not notice?” You scoffed and raised your hand.

Kai suddenly fell backwards into Chanyeol with a red handprint on his face. He held his cheek as he turned to you with wide eyes.

“Heesung?” He asked. “Were you … what?” He was still trying to process everything. He barely felt pain on his cheek but felt it heat up.

“Oh, the wonders a pair of glasses could do.” You sighed out and shook your head. You were about to turn around and walk away but suddenly stopped.

“Oh, and Kai.” You smiled at him. “We. Are over.” And with that you flipped your hair and made your way towards Kris and Yongguk.

Kris grinned as he held your coat for you and you put your arms through it.

“You’re no man Kim Jongin.” You said and fixed your coat. “You’re an .”

“Noona, can I beat him up now?” Tao asked and pointed at Kai who was on the floor beside Chanyeol.

“Sure, why not.” You grinned. “Beat his friend up as well. He’s too loud.”

Zelo grinned as he looked down at Chanyeol. The two tried crawling away but Tao stepped on Kai’s leg making him howl in pain. “No one messes with my noona.” He said in a low voice.

“Hello, hyung.” Zelo grinned and bent down so he was the same eye-level as Chanyeol. “I’m going to beat you up now.” Then he pulled his mouth mask back on and laughed as Chanyeol tried to get away.

Baekhyun watched Kris wrapped an arm around your shoulder. You smiled as you looked at him. Yongguk just chuckled as he watched Kai and Chanyeol get beat up by their two maknaes.

“What’s happening?” Suho whispered, still shocked over the whole turn this took.

“Listen up!” Yongguk yelled and every male in the room flinch from his booming voice. “Anyone in here messes with our girl here.” He placed his hand on your head. “We’re going to find you.” He warned.

“Won’t your parents get sad if their son never made it home from school one day?” Kris added and smirked.

“Is that understood?” Yongguks dark voice echoed in the room.

“Y-Yes, sir!” Was heard from every male in the room, even Baekhyun felt he needed to answer.

Baekhyun suddenly got eye contact with you but you quickly looked away. He thought that he saw you mouth ‘Sorry’ to him. Kris leaned down and kissed your head making Baekhyun frown, his mood changing into jealousy.

Daehyun stood up now and chuckled. Chen, Xiumin and Youngjae came out from under the table, Chen quickly hiding the video camera. Youngjae was clapping together with Xiumin as if they just watched the best play ever.

“That was fun!” Chen laughed. “I loved their faces.” He waved his hands towards Kai and Chanyeol.

“We need to get going.” Youngjae looked at his watch. “Himchan-hyung is probably waiting.”

“Ah, ok.” Yongguk nodded. “Remember! We will find you.” He eyed everyone in the room with his eyes before he turned around and left.

“Tao! Zelo!” The two maknaes stopped hurting the other two. Tao stood with his foot on Kais chest. “We need to go!” You said.

“Ok, noona!” Zelo kicked Chanyeol one last time before he ran to you. Tao dropped Kais arm and ran to you as well.

“Don’t you think you too over exaggerated a little?” You asked and craned your head to see Kai and Chanyeols unconscious bodies on the floor. You thought you saw Chanyeol trying to move but you weren’t sure, Kai was barely breathing though.

“No, no.” Tao shook his head. “I’d love to beat him up more but.” He shrugged.

“This was fun.” Zelo grinned.

“We have to go.” You said and rolled your eyes and opened the cafeteria door. You looked back one last time and saw the still so shocked faces of your four friends. You slowly shook your head before you walked out yourself, leaving the building together with your boys.

“Whoo!” Kris sighed. “I need a drink.” He said.

“I’ll go prepare two.” Yongguk chuckled after he’d finish changing into his uniform.

Himchan suddenly opened the door to the dressing room. “Where have you all been? Hurry up! Youngjae, Jongup is burning the food and Kevin needs help!”

Youngjae hurried to the kitchen while Daehyun and Zelo hurried out to the café.

“Yongguk where did you take them?” Himchan asked.

“Oh, a small field trip.” Yongguk grinned before he walked passed your brother and made his way to the bar.

Himchan just sighed before he turned to you. You were standing in front of the mirror, brushing your hair. “How was school?” He asked and smiled, looking more relaxed now that he knew that Yongguk brought you here safely.

“Oh, the usual.” You just answered and smiled back. Himchan just nodded and left.

 Kris chuckled behind you. “I’ll go to the bar.” He said and left as well.

Baekhyun lied on his sofa, staring at the ceiling. Suho was sitting right by his feet beside D.O. Sehun decided to sit on the floor while hugging his knees. They all sat in silence until Suho spoke up.

“Heesung is Hyorin.” He quietly said.

“Or is Hyorin, Heesung?” D.O said making Suho furrow his eyebrows at his friend.

“Thith wath confuthing.” Sehun sighed.

“How are you feeling Baekhyun?” D.O asked.

“I don’t know what to feel right now.” The boy said.

“Do you thtill have feelingth for noona?” Sehun asked.

“I don’t know.”

 

Suho shook his head and stood up. “We’ll leave you alone for a while. He said and made his way towards the door, followed by D.O and Sehun. “Call us when you’re feeling better.”

They saw themselves out and just closed the door.

Baekhyun still lied there and stared at the ceiling. Heesung is Hyorin?

His mind was a complete mess after what happened. Two teachers barged in and everyone quickly ran from the scene. Baekhyun and his friends blended in with the other students and made their way out of the cafeteria. Kai and Chanyeol were sent to the hospital for now and Suho would go visit together with Sehun on Sunday,

“She knew about the bet…” He started talking to himself. “She knew from the very beginning…” Was that why you kept pushing him away when he started talking to you for the first time? He remembered how quiet and cold you were then to him when he just wanted to talk. “What’s happened?” He asked himself. How would he dare face you later on? He knew he still had feelings for you but even his feelings were just as confused as his head. After you left together with your friends everyone just stood in total silence and tried comprehending what just happened.

He felt his eyelids getting heavier with every breath he took and he knew that he’d fall asleep any minute now so he slowly sat up and lazily removed his blazer as he made his way to the loft. He threw himself on the mattress and went under the covers. He tried breathing in your scent but he noticed that it was fading away. Oh no. He thought and pulled the blanket around him tighter.

 

Baekhyun slowly woke up and stretched his body. Yawning he slowly walked down the stairs. How many centuries have past? He thought as he looked at the clock. It was just a little past three but when, he didn’t know.

He got out of his uniform and changed into his sweat pants, then brushed his teeth. He went back to the loft and went under the covers. When he breathed in he noticed that your smell was gone and slowly started to smell like him instead which he hated.

It was Saturday, barely noon and D.O stood outside the Two Moons café with a paper in his hand. Gulping he opened the door and heard a small bell ring, he then were greeted with one of the waiters. “Hello and welcome to Two Moons.” The waiter greeted him. D.O recognized him as one the one who yelled ‘Team BaekSung!’ in the cafeteria yesterday. Daehyun was his name right?

“A-Ah, hello.” D.O shyly greeted him.

The blonde waiter blinked a couple of times. “Oh, aren’t you one of Baekhyuns friends?” D.O nervously nodded.

“Y-Yeah, I was helping out in the kitchen as well the other time.”

“Oh!” Daehyun grinned. “Right, I remember you! How are you?” He asked.

“Still a little confused and shaken up about yesterday but I’m fine.” D.O confessed and Daehyun nodded as if nothing had happened.

“Yeah, don’t worry about it. Kai and that other dude are probably going to be fine.” Daehyun said too casually. “Anyways, seat for one?”

D.O shook his head. “N-No, I actually… Wanted to see Heesung.” He hesitated a little when he was going to say your name.

Daehyun nodded. “Ok, follow me.”

D.O followed the blonde boy through the café and into the kitchen. Youngjae greeted him when he passed and he greeted back. Daehyun stopped in front of the dressing room door and knocked.

“Heesung?” He called. “I have someone who wants to see you!” After a while he slowly opened the door and gestured for D.O to walk in. D.O slowly made his way in the dressing room and felt his heart speed up.

Daehyun closed the door behind him making the boy jump.

“D.O?” You asked and looked out from behind a locker. You weren’t wearing your glasses and it made D.O slightly uncomfortable to see your eyes.

“H-H-Hey, Heesung.” He greeted you and tried to smile. “That’s your name right?”

You chuckled. “Yes, that’s my name. Sit.” You told him and he sat on a chair in front of you on the round table in the room.

D.O didn’t know what to say at first and just sat and stared at you. “I’m sorry, am I making you uncomfortable? Do you want me to put my glasses back on?” You asked and pointed to your locker.

“Yes ple- I mean no! I-It’s ok.” He nervously chuckled. You just rolled your eyes and stood up to get your glasses. After you put them on you sat back down and started tying your hair up. You couldn’t blame D.O for being uncomfortable around you when you didn’t wear your glasses.

“Thank you…” He said in a soft voice and looked down embarrassed.

“Don’t be. I don’t blame you.” You said and smiled at him. “So what brings you here?” You tried to act as casual as ever because you saw that D.O was very fidgety.

D.O glanced up at you as he fiddled with the folded paper in his head.

“R-Remember when I was helping in the kitchen?” He asked and you just nodded.

“And Youngae wanted some help in there?” You nodded again. “Well… I wonder if you were still taking in new employees.” He asked and looked at you. “I remember that you said that we could talk about this more another time.” He scratched the back of his. “Is this a bad time for it?”

You shook your head. “No, no! I have time.” You smiled. “You’re here to apply for the part-time job in the kitchen?” D.O nodded and slowly gave you the folded paper.

“My mom and I talked about it and she kind of forced me to write a CV.” You chuckled as you read it.

“No experience in working except helping out here?”

He shook his head. “I also wrote down what I’m good at and what I want to get better at.”

“Most of it involves the kitchen.” He nodded.

Right then your brother walked in and you stood up. “Ah, oppa. Great timing!” He looked at you then at D.O. D.O quickly stood up and bowed a ninety-degree bow. “Hello, sir! My name is Do Kyungsoo!” He greeted him and Himchan just lightly bowed back.

“Ah, hello.” He smiled.

“Oppa, this is D.O. The one who helped in the kitchen remember?”

Himchan thought for a while. ”Oh, yeah! Youngjae talked about you.” He smiled and looked down at the younger one.

“He came here to apply for part-time in the kitchen.” You said and handed him D.O’s CV. Himchan quickly read through it before he handed it back to you. “Alright, so you want to work here?” He asked as he made his way to his locker and started ing his vest.

“Y-Yes, sir!” D.O answered and looked down at the floor.

Himchan removed his vest and rummaged through his locker. “You know what.” He wrapped a black tie under his collar and tied it before he took out a black blazer. “I’ll let Heesung decide.” He said and sprayed cologne on himself before he pulled his blazer on.

“Heesung, I have a meeting with this CEO now.” Himchan pulled his coat on and quickly fixed his hair in the mirror. “I need to go.” He opened the back door and a cold wind blew it. “You decide!” He called before he closed the door and you heard it lock.

D.O turned to you with wide eyes. You just chuckled. “When my brother’s gone I’m usually in charge.” You said and opened the door to the kitchen.

“You are?” You just nodded.

“Hey, Himchan left now?” Youngjae looked up from the stove.

“Yeah, I’m in charge now.” You said and walked through the kitchen.

“D.O, applying for the part-time?” Youngjae asked.

“Y-Yeah!” D.O answered.

“Hurry up with him Heesung! I’m going to need help very soon, it’s soon noon, that’s when a lot of people come in!” Youngjae chuckled and you just gave him an O.K sign.

You opened a door with the sign ‘manager’ on it and let D.O enter first.

The office was not to big but not to small either. It looked plain with the different shades of gray everywhere. You walked behind the desk and sat down. “I hope you don’t mind the boring interior, my brother’s too lazy to decorate his office.”

“No, no! I-I don’t mind.” He said. You just smiled and gestured for him to take a seat on one of the two chairs in front of the desk. You turned the computer on the desk on and started clicking on the mouse.

D.O felt slightly nervous in the silence that spread in the room. “Ok, D.O.” You said and turned away from the screen. “Since Youngjae’s going to need help fairly soon I can’t keep this long, alright?”

D.O just nodded. “I’m going to give you the job.” You said and a wide smile spread on D.O’s lips. “R-Really?” You nodded and couldn’t help but smile when you saw him smile.

“Yes, but there are some things we need to go through first.” You said and pulled a drawer out. You handed him a piece of paper that was clipped on a board. “You need to fill this form out, is that ok?” You handed him a pen when he nodded. “Basic information we need to know. Then I need you to fill out another form with times and such, alright?” D.O nodded once more. “I’ll go and get changed, you stay here and fill that out.” Then you left him in the room.

“He ready yet?” Youngjae asked you and grinned but you just rolled your eyes.

 

You opened the door to the manager’s office and walked in while you were tying to apron around your waist. You sat down behind the desk again. “Are you done?” D.O nodded and handed you the board. You quickly read through it and nodded. You then placed it back in the drawer. “Ok.” You checked the clock on the wall. “We don’t have much time left to talk so we’ll continue with the rest of the papers later, ok?” D.O nodded once more. You stood up and told D.O to follow you. “Remember the stuff you learned when you were here?”

“Yes.”

“Good.” You said and led him to the dressing room. You showed him a locker and he remembered that it was the one he used the last time he was here. “I’m sure the uniform in here fits you. Youngjae won’t have time to go through everything with you this time again, but you’re going to follow his instructions because he’s the chef and baker here.” D.O nodded once again.

“Get dressed and I’ll meet you in the kitchen.”

 

When D.O walked out Youngjae smiled. “Whoo! D.O, my co-worker!” Youngjae cheered and you just shook your head.

“Ok, D.O while you’re working try and watch Youngjae as well and learn ok? If you have any questions at all don’t be afraid to ask.” Youngjae nodded and well as D.O.

“Youngjae, teach him a few basics as well, alright?” Youngjae saluted.

“Yes, boss!”

D.O just smiled in astonishment. “Wow, Heesung, you really sound so…”

“Manager-like?” You raised and eyebrow and D.O nodded. “I know, I know.” You sighed before you chuckled. “Oh and D.O, you need to call me boss when you’re working.”

“Y-Yes, boss!” D.O saluted as well and Youngjae laughed before turning around to continue cooking.

“That’s good. Ok, Youngjae help D.O as much as you can.” You glanced at the clock on the wall. “It’s soon rush hour time, are you two ready?”

The two of them saluted. “Yes, boss!”

“How did you think it went today?” You asked D.O and leaned your forearms on the desk. The café had closed and everyone was just cleaning up outside. Youngjae was busy with the kitchen while Jongup took care of the dishes.

“I really liked it, even though I didn’t have much time before I started I still feel like I learnt a lot.” You nodded and started going through the other papers that had asked him to fill in.

“And you could any time after school and weekends?” D.O nodded. He wrote down the times he ends after school on the paper.

You then took out another piece of paper and handed it to him. “These are the terms and conditions around here so you better read them well. I’ll be going through these papers and fill out a schedule for you, alright?” D.O nodded and took the paper of terms and conditions.

“Can you pass by early tomorrow before the café opens? And I mean early, early. I was thinking so that Youngjae can go through the stuff in the kitchen with you and start teaching you different dishes and such. It’s going to take time memorizing them, as well as the pastries.” You said. D.O nodded once again.

“I can tomorrow! Just say a time.”

“And here’s another paper I need your mother to sign, is that alright?” D.O took it and held it together with the other paper. “I think that it’s better if you discuss salary and such with my brother tomorrow, is that ok?”

“Sure, thing!”

“Well, I guess that’s it. Uhm, I’m going to have to take your picture tomorrow for the staff book, alright?”

“Yeah, ok.”

“Well, I guess that was it.” You sighed out then looked at D.O. He was slowly getting used to see you without your glasses. “Any questions?” D.O shook his head and you just rolled his eyes because you knew he was lying.

“D.O, I know you have questions, come on, ask me.” You leaned back in your brother’s seat with crossed arms. D.O gulped.

“You knew about the bet all along?” He asked and a small voice.

“Yes.”

“But did you ever…” He hesitated. “… Use us?”

You quickly shook your head and scoffed. “Oh god no, no! Never.” D.O nodded and couldn’t help but smile.

“Did it feel good when your friends beat Kai up?”

“Yes, I’d love to do it myself but…” You shrugged.

D.O chuckled. “To be honest, I somewhat enjoyed it as well.” He said making you laugh.

“How’s Baekhyun?” You asked him and D.O’s smile fell.

“He seems bad, he hasn’t eaten since yesterday.” You felt a sting of guilt in your chest. “He just doesn’t know what to do. Sehun tried to visit this morning but Baekhyun didn’t answer the door. Suho tried calling as well but no answer either.”

“Oh.”

“Baekhyun confessed to you, right? But you didn’t answer him.”

“No, I didn’t. I didn’t reject him either. Yesterday was just a surprising day for all of you I guess.”

“But do you have any feelings for him?” D.O asked.

You thought about it for a while. Did you have feelings for Baekhyun? You’ve never really felt anything for him before, so why now? “I don’t know.” You answered and D.O just nodded. “It was a shocking day for us.”

A knock was heard on the door and Youngjae peeked in when he heard you yell ‘come in!’.

“Hey! You two done?”

You got out of your seat. “Yes, we’re done.”

“I was wondering if D.O would like a ride home? It’s really late and dark outside so.”

“Ah, sure if it’s not to much of a hassle.” D.O smiled.

 

Yongguk already locked and secured the place down when he walked into the dressing room. D.O had gone with Youngjae, Daehyun, Jongup and Zelo in Youngjae’s car.

“Ready to go home?” Yongguk asked and opened the back door. You lightly shivered when a cold wind entered the room. ”Yeah.” You said grabbed and your bag.

You were already in the café by thirty in the morning and it was already light outside. You shook yourself when you walked into the dressing room it was freezing cold outside! While turning the lights on in the café you noticed a silhouette outside the door. After you raised the metal roller shutter you unlocked the door and opened it.

D.O turned around with wide eyes when he heard the door open.

“Ah, D.O, come in!” You smiled and let him in to the café before you locked the door again. “You’re actually early!” You said.

“Ah, I woke up to early…” D.O chuckled.

“That’s ok, go and hang your jacket in your locker, get changed into your uniform and meet me in the manager’s office.”

D.O went and did as he was told and you headed to the office. D.O walked in after a while and handed you a piece of paper. “My mom signed this.” He said.

You nodded and took it, reading through it you placed it on your brother’s desk. “Ok, then. Youngjae is going to be here any minute now. My brother’s going to talk to you later as well. We’ll go through your schedule here later too.” You thought about anything else to say. “Oh, right! I fixed something for you.” You opened a drawer in your brother’s desk. You walked towards D.O and pinned something on his shirt. “Nametag, everyone here has one.” You smiled.

It said D.O on the nametag and he smiled when he eyed it. “This is so cool.”

“Really?” You chuckled.

“Heesung!” A familiar voice was heard from the kitchen.

“Ah.” D.O followed you out of the office and Youngjae was seen folding his chef’s coats sleeves up. “Hey, boss!”

“Good morning, Youngjae. Ready to teach your new partner here how the kitchen works?”

“Hell yeah!” Youngjae grinned.

You patted D.O on the shoulder. “I’ll leave him to you then!” D.O smiled and nodded.

 

“Hey, Heesung.” Daehyun yawned when you walked into the dressing room.

“Good morning.”

“Our new employee here?”

“He’s currently in the kitchen with Youngjae, he’s learning.” You chuckled and Daehyun smiled.

The back door opened and Yongguk walked in and shuddered. “It’s freezing!” He complained and stomped in towards his locker.

“Tell me about it.” Daehyun rolled his eyes.

“Was my brother getting ready for his meeting when you left?” Yongguk nodded.

“He woke up kinda late though.”

You sighed.

 

-

 

“How’s it going?” You asked the kitchen staff when you walked by. It was already past noon and everything was going well.

“Great!” Youngjae answered while cutting two different kinds of vegetables. “No, D.O, cut them vertically it goes faster.” He said and D.O just nodded and did as he was told.

“Youngjae’s not hard on you right?” You asked D.O.

“No, no. I’m learning!” He smiled and you smiled back before heading to the café.

“Everything fine here?” You asked Yongguk who was mixing drinks.

“Splendid.” He grinned and gave the glasses to Kevin you quickly walked away to serve the drinks.

 

Your brother arrived around an hour later and D.O went on a break to talk to him. After thirty minutes or so the two walked out laughing.

“Everything went well?” You asked when you walked towards the two.

“Yeah, papers are done, I took his picture as well, his file is done and put in our register.” Your brother shrugged.

“Are you satisfied with the salary?” You asked D.O.

He nodded, grinning widely. “I actually thought that I was less.” He admitted.

You brother lightly nudged him on the shoulder. “Yah, what kind of café do you think this is?” He asked and D.O apologized while laughing.

“Does your shift end soon?” You asked and he nodded.

“But I asked if I could work a little more today, he doesn’t have to pay me. I don’t really have anything else to do at home.”

You just nodded. “Arasso, go back to work then.” You told him and he hurried to the kitchen.

“He’s learning fast.” Your brother commented and you agreed.

Everyone in class seemed to stare at you when they walked in. You weren’t wearing your glasses or a bun on your head and you were wearing the school uniform how it should be worn. Just because you exposed yourself didn’t mean that you’re going to change your lifestyle in school. Even though you were once again them main attraction in school you still kept for yourself during the day. A few guys even tried talking to you but you just ignored them, knowing what they were doing anyway. Hayoung even came up to you and complimented how pretty you were and you just thanked her with a smile.

Kai and Chanyeol were nowhere to be seen; Suho said that they were going to be hospitalized for a few days. Suho and Sehun were still a bit surprised over that you were the one they met in the club. Even before that when they bumped into you in the bookstore. “Tho that meanth we actually met noona before we met her in thchool!” Sehun said. “Noona, neomu yeppeo~” He said and you just smiled.

“Still quite hard to believe.” Suho said.

“I’m a good actress.” You raised and eyebrow.

“That you were.” D.O nodded and agreed.

Who would’ve thought that Heesung and Hyorin were the same person? As they saw it, they were like two whole different people.

“Hyung’th not in thchool today.” Sehun frowned.

“He’s not answering his phone or door either.” Suho shook his head.

“I think out of all of us, except Kai and Chanyeol of course.” D.O said. “He’s the one that got most shocked by it. I mean…”

“He thtill has feelingth for, noona.”

You just sighed. Baekhyun hadn’t been in school today or the next day. Not even the day after that.

 

“I wonder if he’s alright.” D.O asked Friday morning.

“He’ll probably come out when he’s ready.” Suho said.

“I’ve never theen hyung like thith before.”

“Oh, what a girl can do to a man.” D.O rolled his eyes. You were walking with them into school when you suddenly stopped.

“Ok, that’s it.” You sighed frustrated.

“What’s wrong?” Suho asked and looked at you.

“I’m going to Baekhyuns place!” You said and turned around.

“Do you think he’s going to talk to you?” D.O asked.

“He better! Or else I’m going to hurt him!” You answered and stomped away down the schoolyard.

“You think she’ll manage?” Suho asked.

“I actually think she will.” D.O anwered.

“Good luck, noona!” Sehun cupped his mouth and yelled and you just waved your hand in the air.

Suho rubbed his ear. “Dude…” He sighed.

Before walking to Baekhyuns place you passed by the supermarket and bought some food. Baekhyun didn’t even answer your calls and it irritated you. You thought that he was overacting but then again, you didn’t know how it felt from his point of view.

You stood outside his door and knocked a few times. When he didn’t answer you started banging on his door. “Yah! Byun Baekhyun!” You yelled, but still no answer. You sighed out in frustration and looked down on his doormat.

Bending down you lifted it and saw that the spare key was still there. You rolled your eyes while you unlocked his door. Of course he’d forget it.

Slowly walking in you noticed that his place was barely lit. The only ray of light that showed was from the long crack from behind the curtains in his living room.

After you hung your jacket and took of your shoes you placed the bags on the kitchen table. You peeked in his room and noticed that his room was dark as well and he wasn’t seen in his bed that looked barely touched.

Furrowing your eyebrows you walked away and looked up the loft. With light steps you walked up and saw Baekhyun laid spread on the mattress. The blanket seemed to be sticking onto his body messily.

Sitting down on the floor beside the mattress you lightly shook his arm but noticed his skin was slightly moist. “Baekhyun.” You shook him but he didn’t move.

“Yah!” You tried again and he slowly turned around but didn’t give you any response. He was paler than the last time you saw him, which was last week. His dark circles almost looked black and his bangs were sticking onto his forget. Holy he has a fever. You held a hand on his forehead and felt him burn up.

“Yah, Baekhyun!” You shook him harder and he finally gave a response by grunting. Baekhyun slowly opened his eyes but his sight was blurry. “Wake up.” You said and he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. “Heesung?” He said in a croaky voice, indicating that he hadn’t been drinking water for a while.

“Baekhyun, wake up.” You said and lightly patted him on the shoulder.

He tried sitting up but he quickly fell back down and panted. “Is this a dream?” He asked and tried keeping his eyes open.

“If you want it to be.” You lightly chuckled. “Come on, you have to shower.”

“Shower with me.” He mumbled but it looked like he fell back asleep.

You just blinked and stared at him before you slapped him hard on the chest making him howl in pain. His eyes shot open and he turned as he coughed for air. “Idiot, get your up right now.”

“I don’t know anymore if this is a dream or not…” You heard him cough when you made your way down the stairs.

You managed to get Baekhyun into the bathroom after full fifteen minutes because he was being as stubborn as a child, which he acts like sometimes anyway. When you heard the shower start running you started preparing food in his kitchen.

Baekhyun found it easier to breath after his shower and stood for a while and wondered if this was a dream or not. He knew that he had a fever but was to weak to do anything about it. Had he dreamt about you to wake him up and force him to take a shower? He wasn’t sure and placed his hand on his chest where you had hit him. That felt real though. He sighed and wrapped a towel round his waist and ruffled his hair with another one. He opened the bathroom door to let the steam out but froze when he sniffed the air. Tiptoeing, he slowly peeked into the kitchen from behind the corner.

You were standing by the stove mixing something in the pot that smelled so delicious to make Baekhyun’s stomach growl. He blushed when you turned to him, he noticed that you were wearing your glasses as well and your hair up in a bun, like you used too. He wondered if he had just dreamt about you being Hyorin and the event that happened in the cafeteria, he was vey doubtful now.

“Are you done? I made congee.” You said and lifted the pot from the stove and poured the thick porridge into a bowl. Baekhyun gulped and quickly ran into his room to put some clothes on.

When he was done he quickly sat down and waited for you to place his food in front of him. He wanted to speak, tell you how much he’s missed seeing you, talk about what had happened, if this was a dream, what your story was and of course his feelings for you but his throat didn’t want to cooperate with him. It seemed like his voice took a break for a while and he was desperate to try and speak again.

You placed a glass of water in front of him along with a pill you had found in one of his drawers. “Medicine first.” You said and he frowned but swallowed it anyway.

You placed the warm bowl filled with congee in front of him along with some side dishes. Baekhyun wanted to grab the spoon but even his body didn’t want to listen to him. He felt his heart beat strongly in his chest out of embarrassment and illness.

You shook your head and sat down beside him and scooted closer. You grabbed the spoon and dipped it in the bowl. Baekhyun watched as you blew it for a while before you raised his to his lips. He felt his face heat up and it wasn’t because of the fever. Oh my god, she’s going to feed me! He slowly opened his mouth and accepted the spoon filled with congee. He sighed out when he swallowed and gave you thumbs up. In the next spoon filled with congee you applied some side dishes as well and Baekhyun happily ate when you fed him.

He was done in less than fifteen minutes and he even finished every side dish you made.

“When were the last time you’ve eaten?” You mumbled while you placed the dishes in the sink.

“Come on.” You gestured for him to stand up. “You have to go and rest, in your room this time.”

Baekhyuns eyes widened and he quickly shook his head. No, I don’t want to go sleep in my room. “What do you mean no?”

Baekhyun opened his mouth but his voice wasn’t really back yet so he ended up breathing out a raspy breath. He just pointed upwards to the loft and you raised and eye brow.

“You want to go sleep on the loft?” He nodded. “Why? It seemed colder up there.” Because I can still smell you even though it’s fading. Baekhyun didn’t answer and just stared at you. You gave up after a while and just sighed. “I need to go change the sheets then…” You said and were about to turn to his room and rummage through his drawer. Baekhyun quickly stood up but had to sit down again because his head started spinning.

“Yah! Don’t stand up to fast!” You scolded and helped him regain his balance. “Baekhyun, the sheets are soaking with your sweat. I need to change them or else you’re going to get worse.”

Baekhyun just frowned. “Either you sleep in your bed or I change the sheets up there.” You said and crossed your arms.

Baekhyun thought for a while and finally gave up by pointing his finger to the loft.

You nodded and made you way to his room. After you found new sheets you walked up to the loft where you started changing the sheets. Baekhyun was still grumpy over the fact that you were changing the sheets. Now it won’t smell like her anymore. He muttered in his head.

You walked down after a while and into Baekhyuns washing room when you placed them in the laundry basket.

After leading Baekhyun up the stairs he quickly got under the covers and frowned once again. “Aw, come on. What’s wrong with the sheets?” You asked when you sat down on the floor beside the mattress. They don’t smell like you.

You sighed. “Get some rest Baekhyun.” You were about to stand up but he quickly caught your wrist making you almost tumble on top of him. You gasped when you noticed how close he was to your face when you landed in his chest. He looked you in the eye through your lenses and you felt like you knew what he was asking.

“Don’t worry, Baekhyun.” You said in a soft voice and slowly got off him. Baekhyun laid his head on the pillow and kept his eyes on you. You lightly brushed his bangs away from his forehead and he breathed out, liking your touch. “I’ll be here when you wake up. I promise.”

Baekhyun slowly nodded when he felt his body slowly shutting down to sleep and his heartbeat slowed down.

Baekhyun woke up with a jerk and he sat up panting. He felt his forehead and he noticed that he was sweating like crazy. He looked around the loft but no one was there. Was that all a dream? He thought. He tried calling for you but his voice once again didn’t want to cooperate. He dreamt that he asked you to stay with him before he slept but he wasn’t sure if that happened or not. It was all a dream… He sighed out irritated and ruffled his damp hair.

Light footsteps were heard from the stairs making him whip his head to the sound. You were seen walking up with a bowl and a glass, both filled with cold water. You had two rags that hung from your shoulder when you placed everything on the floor beside the mattress. “Hey, feeling better?” You asked and turned to him. Baekhyuns eyes widened as he reached out and gently touched your arm. He then suddenly sat up and grabbed you in his arms where held you tight making you gasp.

Leaning his chin on your shoulder he realized that he wasn’t dreaming, you really were with him and you stayed. Baekhyun sniffled when he released you and you fixed your blazer.

“I did promise you that I wouldn’t leave.” You said and handed him another pill and the glass of water. “Time for your medicine. You’ve been sleeping for quite a while.”

He swallowed the pill and laid his head down on the pillow again and looked up at you. You placed your hand on his forehead and shook your head. “Baekhyun, you’re really hot.” You sighed out.

Baekhyun grinned and wiggled his eyebrows while mouthing, ‘I know’ and you just laughed and lightly hit him on the chest. “I meant warm.” He still kept his grin on and you couldn’t help but smile back. How can he joke around while he’s like this? You thought.

If you had to admit, you actually did miss seeing his smile and it made you feel a little more at ease. “Seems like your fever still hasn’t gone down.” You continued and placed the rag in the bowl of cold water.

Baekhyun just watched everything that you were doing. You even took his temperature and adjusted his pillows for him. After a while you squeezed water out from the rag, folded it then placed his on his forehead. A shiver went down his spine and he watched as you soaked the other rag in the ice-cold water as well. You brought it up and started to lightly wipe his neck and face with it. Baekhyun closed his eyes and let you cool him down with the rag. He couldn’t help but blush when he felt you pull his wife beater down so you could dampen his chest as well.

When he didn’t feel the rag on him anymore he slowly opened his eyes only to widen them right after because he saw you walk down the stairs. He wanted to tell you to stop but air only came out from his mouth.

To his relief you came back and he noticed that you had removed your blazer. You were about to sit down on the floor but Baekhyun patted the mattress. He tried moving his body to the side to make space for you. He panted when he managed to move but he saw that you were hesitating. He patted the mattress harder and you sighed, giving up before you sat on the edge of the mattress. Baekhyun smiled when he looked up at you.

You looked down at him through your lenses and reached your hand out. Placing the back of your head on his cheek you shook your head. “Your fever needs to get down.” You said and he frowned. “Seriously Baekhyun. Why have you been ignoring your friends?” You asked.

Baekhyun just looked at you. Not only did he get a high fever but also got depressed after last week. He couldn’t eat nor sleep well and his mind was pure chaos. All he could think was about you and the bet, you and Kai, you and all those guys in the cafeteria, you and him. He felt a rise of jealousy when he thought about how that tall blonde man Kris acted all touchy with you.

“Is it because of me?” You asked in a small voice. “If so I apologize deeply.”

Baekhyuns eyes slightly widened when you gave him a short bow with your head.

“Suho, Sehun and D.O have been worried.” You continued to speak and slapped his arm making the boy yelp, the only sound he’s managed to make for a while. “You shouldn’t let your friends worry!”

Baekhyun pouted while he rubbed his arm. Were you worried as well? He wondered as he tried fixing the still cold rag on his forehead. “You even had me worried.” You confessed as if you could read his thoughts. Baekhyun felt a tinge of happiness when you said that. She was worried for me! He couldn’t help but grin widely and you just clucked his tongue and threatened to slap him on the arm again but he jerked back, still with the grin on his face.

“Idiot.” You mumbled and looked away.

Baekhyun had so many questions to ask you right now but he couldn’t. He’s done a lot of thinking as well during the time he’s been home. He realized that his feelings for you were still there and that he didn’t think of you any other way. He just wanted to get some answers and why’s. While you just sat there quietly Baekhyun admired your profile. He knew that just because you revealed yourself to be Hyorin his feelings for you didn’t change. Sure, he’d like to know how you managed to pull off two whole different personalities like that as well. He never even could’ve guessed that the two of you were the same person.

That explains why he’s been dreaming of the two of you from time to time too. And he also remembered that time you let him sleep in the nurses room at school, when he woke up he saw Hyorin not you. You just took your glasses of and that made him so confused that he didn’t even know what to think.

“You know from the beginning I did just think that you were playing with me as well.” You spoke up. “I thought you were just helping Kai with the bet.”

Baekhyun slowly shook his head. No, no. I wasn’t, never. “I’m sorry if I was mean to you back then. I wasn’t used to people talking to me.” You said and pulled your knees up to your chest as you turned to him.

Baekhyun understood your point and just reached his hand out and started fiddling with the hem of your dress shirt. You didn’t mind as you continued speaking. “Then I realized that you were just being friendly to me too.” Baekhyun smiled. “You never thought of the bet when you were with me?” You asked and looked at him. Baekhyun shook his head quickly only to close his eyes in pain because his head started hurting. “Don’t do that to much.” You said and moved his bangs away from the rag on his forehead.

“Then I met Suho, Sehun and D.O as well. And noticed after a while that you all were good persons.” You smiled lightly. “You guys never liked the idea of the bet did you?”

Baekhyun shook his head and it made you smile wider. “You were so annoying back then.” You chuckled. “Not that you’re any better now. I mean look at you, you got yourself a fever.” You shook your head and pulled the duvet up higher. Baekhyun just pouted and he knew himself that he’s been careless throughout the week. “How about you rest now.” You said and were about to get of the mattress but Baekhyun gripped the end of your shirt making you fall back down on your .

Baekhyun looked at you with furrowed eyebrows. “Don’t worry, I’ll just be down in the living room.” You told him and attempted to stand up again but Baekhyun still held his grip on your shirt.

“What is it?” You sighed and Baekhyun just shook his head. He tried mouthing the words ‘stay’. You shook your head this time. “Baekhyun, you’re sick. You need as much rest as possible.” But he didn’t give you and let go of your shirt only to grab your wrist. He slowly tried to sit up and you told him to lie back down but he didn’t listen and grunted as he tried to straighten his back. When he finally managed to sit up he panted and the rag from his forehead fell onto the blanket. You just looked at him and wondered what he was going to do now.

Baekhyun slowly raised his hand to the back of your head and you felt him tug onto your hair tie until it let go of you hair making it fall messily passed your shoulders. Baekhyun sat for a while and admired your long dark hair until he slowly reached for your glasses. But you quickly grabbed his hand and stopped him from reaching your face. Baekhyun furrowed his eyebrows. “You sure?” You asked in a whisper and Baekhyun still reached for your glasses when you slowly let go of his hand.

He took your glasses of your face and dropped them onto the mattress. He stared at your dark grey eyes that stared back at him. They were as grey as a storm and he couldn’t help but feel his heart flutter when he looked into them. He felt different looking at you like this compared to the time he saw you at the club. He knew whom you really were inside and it made him feel so much different.

Your eyes were big but yet slanted with long lashes that stood out, he noticed also that you were wearing eyeliner. He gulped when his eyes went to your pink plump lips that he remembered he kissed when he confessed. He brought his hand up to your face and gently his thumb on your soft cheek. Baekhyuns heart was beating fast when he eyed your lips in front of him. He placed his warm forehead on yours and you felt the heat from his body and his hot breath hit your mouth.

“Baekhyun, you need to rest…” You whispered but it seemed like he didn’t hear you. You didn’t know why but you noticed your heart slowly starting to increase its speed when you felt Baekhyun leaning closer.

You slowly brought your hand to his warm neck. You knew you couldn’t do this right now, you knew what he was about to do so you pinched his nerve in his neck making his body limp and unconscious when he fell forward on you.

You felt bad for doing that but you didn’t have a choice, you didn’t know what you’d do if he kissed you right there. You gently laid him back down and soaked the rag in the bowl again before placing it on his forehead.

You tucked him in before grabbing the bowl and your glasses down the kitchen. You walked back up to get his glass as well. “Sorry Baekhyun.” You mumbled before you walked down again.

Baekhyun slowly opened his eyes and groaned. His body felt weaker than before and he didn’t know why. He remembered that he was about to kiss you but then everything went dark. He wondered if he passed out. If so he was utterly pissed with himself, how could he miss a chance like that?! He frowned at himself and turned to his side.

You weren’t there with him on the loft. He knew that you were with him but where he didn’t know. He grunted when he tried getting out of the mattress and slowly made his way down the stairs.

He saw your lying figure on his sofa and quietly made his way towards you. He noticed that you were sleeping on your side and he blushed when he saw that your skirt had hiked up your thighs exposing your legs. A few buttons were undone on your shirt as well and exposed your cleavage. He looked away for a moment with a heated face before he looked at you again. He slowly got on his knees on the floor and just watched your sleeping face for a while. He remembered one time he found you sleeping in the nurse’s room as well and it felt similar to now except for his feelings.

He raised his hand and gently brushed away a few strands of your hair that stuck on your face. Your breathing was silent and calm making Baekhyun relax inside. He took this chance and slowly leaned closer to your face and planted a small kiss on the side of your lips. He felt his face heat up even more after that but he couldn’t resist. Hah! This time I didn’t pass out! But it sure felt like he would any minute now. You lightly groaned and he immediately got on his feet almost stumbling on the way but he quickly regained his balance. His eyes were wide when you slowly lifted your head and blinked your eyes open.

He stood frozen in his spot not knowing what to do. “Baekhyun?” You called him with your sleepy voice and his heart skipped a beat. You looked up with squinting eyes. Oh god, she looks so cute when she just woke up. She looks like one of those CF people. “What are you doing down here?” You asked and sat up while clearing your throat. “You’re supposed to be resting.” You said and yawned while covering your mouth with your hand.

“A-Ah…” He said, he noticed that he had gotten his voice back but it was still raspy.

You stood up and chuckled. “Got your voice back?” You asked and walked to the kitchen and poured him a glass of water. Baekhyun gulped it down and breathed out. “Thank you.” He said, his voice much clearer this time.

You just smiled. “Come on you need to go continue resting.” You took his wrist and dragged him up the stairs. “But I feel better.” He whined when he sat down on the mattress.

You got on your knees on the floor and held his face in your hands making him blush. “You’re still very warm.” You said.

“I’m still very hot.” He grinned and you rolled your eyes.

“I think I liked it better when you couldn’t talk.” You sighed and he just chuckled but then coughed. “See you still need to rest.” You stated. Baekhyun groaned when you managed to get him under the covers.

“What time is it?” He asked.

“Six o’clock.”

Baekhyuns eyes widened in shock. “W-When did you arrive?” He asked.

 “Right after eight.” You answered.

“You’ve been here all the time?”

“Well, you’ve been sleeping.” You shrugged casually and were about to get up.

“Are you leaving?” He asked and sounded desperate all of a sudden.

You stared at him for a while. “Do you want me to leave?”

Baekhyun quickly shook his head only to groan in pain. “I told you not to do that!” You scolded.

“Stay…” Baekhyun said into the pillow.

You sighed. “I’ll go to your room and steal a shirt.” You said and Baekhyun grinned when you made your way downstairs and into his room. You had to wash your face as well and get rid of your eyeliner.

When you walked back up he noticed that you also took one of his old gym shorts. They stopped mid thing on you and as usual his shirt exposed your shoulder.

“I have a question.” You said and kneeled beside the bed. Baekhyun just grinned. “Yes?”

“Why did you so badly want to sleep on the loft? I even found you passed out here.”

Baekhyuns smile slowly fell and he blushed. “Uh…” He started. “Because they smelled like you.” He confessed and hid half of his face behind the blanket.

“Because it smelled like me?” You chuckled but couldn’t help finding that cute. He nodded and you saw his face turning redder.

“I’ll let you go back to sleep, I’ll go to the sofa.” You said and stood up.

Baekhyun furrowed his eyebrows in surprise. “What?” He removed the blanket from his face.

“I’ll go sleep on the sofa.”

“No you’re not.” How could Baekhyun allow you on the sofa?

“Uh…” You scratched the back of your head. “Your bed?” You asked instead.

Baekhyun thought about it for a while before he shook his head again. You furrowed your eyebrows while you waited for him to continue.

“Here.” He grinned widely and patted the space beside him on the mattress.

You stared at him for a moment before you turned around. “I’ll go to you room.”

“Heeeesuuuung~!” Baekhyun whined when you were about to walk down the stairs.

“What?” You sighed.

“Sleep heeeeerrreeee~!” He tossed around on the mattress. Your mouth fell at how childish he was acting right now. You took a mental note that when Baekhyun gets his voice back from a fever he’d start acting like a five year old.

“Baekhyun, I can’t do that.” You rolled your eyes.

“Why not?” He pouted.

“One, we both can’t fit there. Two, you’re sick and even though I have a strong immune system I think it’s best you rest on your own. Three, Why?” You crossed your arms and waited.

Baekhyun stared at you for a moment before he raised three fingers. “One, I’ll make both of us fit, don’t worry! I don’t like sleeping alone when I’m sick!” He whined. “Three, because I still like you.”

You face palmed at his sudden confession at the end there. “No, wait!” He suddenly blurted out. “Not like!” You raised an eyebrow. Baekhyun grinned and he looked so high at the moment. “Looooveee~!”

You shook your head and continued down the stairs. Baekhyun gasped. “Heesung! Come baaaack!” He said and coughed a few times. He heard the lights switch of and his bedroom door open and he fell back down on the bed grouchy.

After a while he felt a soft pillow land beside his and he turned around with wide eyes. You slowly sat down beside him on the mattress. “One, if you kick me off this mattress I’m going to kill you.” You said in a warning tone. “Two, if you do manage to get me sick I’m going to kill you. Three, I’m doing this because you’re acting like a child and I wish that you would just shut up. Alright?”

Baekhyun grinned and mentally cheered in his head. “Is that why you have this huge body pillow in your room?” Baekhyun nodded.

“I don’t like sleeping alone when I’m sick.” He answered. He noticed that the pillow you took was from his room.

Sighing, you got under the covers with him and faced your back against him. Baekhyun turned his back to the wall and felt his heart beat increase when he reached out for you.

You felt him wrap an arm around you and pull your body towards him. He leaned his chin on top of your head and you heard him sigh out.

“Four, this is a once in a lifetime thing.” You added. Baekhyun chuckled and held you tighter against him, his arms resting around your waist.

“Four.” He mumbled into your head and breathed in your scent that he’s missed so much.

“Even after all this, I still love you.”
