It was already ten in the evening. All of the Exo members were already in their rooms. You girl, were the only one left in the kitchen. You were baking a cake. TRYING to bake a cake, actually. You tried hard in following the baking book in front of you. Why you were doing this? It's because you were really jealous of the cooking umma of Exo-M, Lay. You knew well D.O, the umma of Exo-K, knew cooking too... But you loved the way Lay looked whenever he was cooking, or baking. For you, it was like--- so cool, for a guy to do things so gracefully like that.

 

You found yourself smiling at the thought of Lay, but then you shook the thoughts away. He didn't even want to teach you how to cook whenever he had free time. You kept on telling yourself you were just jealous of him. And then you easily agreed with the thought. You were going to show Lay that you knew how to cook too. You were going to show him you were also graceful...

 

But, were you?

 

You were concentrating on the mixing bowl in your hand, mixing the ingredients well. Suddenly, you heard someone from behind.

 

"Trying to bake, eh?" You turned around just in time to see Lay inches away from you. Your eyes widened and you lost grip of the mixing bowl in your hands. Fortunately, Lay was there to catch it.

 

"Whaa-" was the first word you said. You backed away a little. Your face flushed because he was that close to you.

 

"What am I doing here?" He was the one who continued what you wanted to say. "I heard some noise in here, so I came to see who it was. And then I saw you."

 

"I- I wasn't even making any noise." You said, then you gave him a slight frown. "Why are you still awake?" you asked him.

 

"I can't sleep." He said. He then looked at the mess you made. "You call this baking?"

 

That's what I thought. You thought. He was really going to make fun of me.

 

"Well, I'm so sorry if I don't know how to bake!" You hissed between your teeth. You were really starting to get embarrassed now.

 

"I didn't say anything." Lay said. He then bent down on you and you thought he was going to do something to you. You were about to close your eyes when you realized he just bent down to place the mixing bowl in the counter.

 

He should've moved sideways to do that. You thought. But whatever. You already felt butterflies fluttering in your stomach when he did that.

 

"Would you like me to teach you then?" He suddenly said.

 

"No thank---" Just then, his words sank into your brain. "You? Going to teach me?" He nodded. You smiled widely, thanking God this cooking umma was now going to teach you how to bake!

 

You guys then started immediately. He demonstrated how to do this, do that, and more. He showed you how to mix ingredients--- well.

 

But wait... were you really listening to what he was talking about? NO. You were focusing on the way Lay was teaching. You were mesmerized by the way his gentleness was still visible in his face whenever he was working on it. You were mesmerized by his cute dimples showing. You were mesmerized by his beautiful lips---- and---

 

"Yah... are you even listening?" Next thing you knew, Lay's index finger was already on your cheek. He was poking you all along.

 

You snapped back to reality. "M-Me? I was listening!" You said. Apparently Lay didn't believe easily.

 

"Yeah, right. You call it listening when you just stare at me dreamily and smiling?"

 

WHAT?! I WAS DOING THAT?! You thought. You face-palmed yourself. "Never mind that. I was thinking of something...."

 

"Oh, sure."He then continued on his work.

 

"This is boring." You said. He just looked at you then looked back at what he was doing. You heard him chuckle. You saw a bag of flour he used and decided to make fun of him. He was really serious in baking. Why not have some little fun then? You thought. You reached for the flour, got a handful of it, then threw it at Lay. He stopped in his tracks, shocked for what happened, then looked at you.

 

"You were being dead serious about this. And that's what you get!" You said and you laughed yourself out.

 

Next thing you knew, your mouth was half-full of flour. You choked and looked at the laughing Lay, whose hands were still on the mixing bowl. His dimples were really visible now.

 

"Yah. You---" Then you threw a flour at him again. He also did the same.

 

The two of you started throwing ingredients at each other, that baking was already not part of the idea.

 

Soon then, Lay got tired and stopped throwing things at you. He just stood there, looking at your messy state. He was already messy too.

 

"That's enough." He said calmly. "I was still going to teach you."

 

"Yeah, right." You laughed. "As if I'd learn. Yah, tell me, why the sudden decision when you wanted to teach me now?" He just stayed silent. he was still looking at you.

 

"Just nothing." He said. You doubted that.

 

"Whatever. Oh! And here comes another one, better watch-------" You were about to throw him icing when you slipped in the milk you guys spilled when you were throwing things at each other. You were about to fall face flat on the floor.

 

And that would really happen if Lay didn't catch you. But he also slipped because you accidentally stepped on his foot. And now the two of you are face to face, on the floor. With you on top of him.

 

You looked at him, embarrassed because you were the reason why this awkward moment was happening. Lay just looked straight into your eyes. And oh, that stare. Even though this was an awkward moment, you were really mesmerized by those eyes of his. This sent another butterflies in your stomach.

 

"Out...Uh-- sorry." You said and you pushed yourself with your hands on the floor in order to sit up... but wait... something was still holding you back into that position, into his body. Then you realized his arms were wrapped around your waist. He wrapped it even tighter, so that you wouldn't get away.

 

"Yah, for how long do you intend to keep us in this position?" You asked jokingly. But actually, you were already starting to feel embarrassed by what he did.

 

"Forever." he said. WHAT? He got what your eyes wanted to say. "The reason why I wanted to teach you now, is because this is the only time wherein it will only be you and me." He said calmly. But he was still looking into your eyes. Your heart started beating fast.

 

"I-I-I love you... don't you know that?" His words sank into your mind. I Love You. I Love You. Oh gracious... he just confessed! He said he loves you! And for goodness' sake, even though you didn't want to admit it, you love him too!

 

He wiped off flour from your lips with his fingers and right there, you were totally frozen. You just looked at his eyes, again. And his eyes didn't even fail to make you melt.

 

Your lips and his started to get closer, and closer, and closer. He closed his eyes and then his soft lips touched yours. You immediately felt some electricity flowing in your body. Your lips still were still not moving because of your surprise, but you closed your eyes to feel it. Your first kiss, with him. He held on to you tightly in the waist. His lips kept moving against yours until such time came when your elbows gave up and you also gave in, your lips also moving along with his. His one hand sneakily made its way towards the back of your neck to deepen the kiss, but his one arm on your waist still remained glued as ever.

 

Your heart fluttered because of this and the kiss lasted for a little long, until you pushed him softly to cut the kiss so you could breathe again. You could tell your face was red because of the lack of oxygen, and you could also say because you were blushing. Because come on, Lay just confessed, and to make it even better, he kissed you.

 

“I-I’m sorry.” He said apologetically. “I just couldn’t help it. You’re really beautiful, much more when you’re so close.” This made your face even redder. He slowly pulled your face down so his and your forehead would touch. “Please believe me when I tell you I love you.” Then he pulled your body down so he could hug you.

 

“I- I love you too, Lay.” You whispered, which made his surprised and the two of you sat up. His eyes showed bits of surprise and happiness.

 

“You- you do?” He stammered, unable to mask his visible happiness. His smile was wide, showing off those dimples you loved to see. You were also smiling widely as you nodded enthusiastically at him. “Uh-huh. Ever since that time you said no when I asked you to teach me to bake and I tried to get angry, but I fell in love instead.”

 

You looked into each other’s eyes and then he smiled cheekily, his eyes sparkling in happiness. Your face was still red. And since you were not talking anymore because he was just smiling that beautiful smile of his at you, you decided to be the first one to talk.

 

“So, uh... I want to tell you that I didn’t learn anything during this baking lesson. I’m sorry.” You bowed your head down. It was true. You didn’t learn anything because you were just concentrating on his face.

 

“Oh, but you did learn something.” He said, which made you look up at him. He cupped your face and kissed you again. He pulled away until your lips were still just a breath apart. “You learned that I’m in love with you.” He chuckled.

 

You smiled and then it was your turn to cup his face and kiss him. “And the same goes to you too, right?”

 

“Right.”

 

He stood up and then he held out his hand to help you stand.

 

“Look at the mess we made.” You said, looking at the messy kitchen. You scratched your head.

 

“Oh? But shouldn’t you mind that you’re messy too?” You chuckled at his remarks. Just then you felt him swiping your messy bangs from your face. “But no matter, you’re still beautiful.” He smiled.

 

You slapped his arm playfully. “You cheesy guy.” You laughed. “Shouldn’t you look at yourself too? You’re also messy. Well, you’re even worse than me.”

 

“Oh, which reminds me.” He said as he cupped your face again and pecked your lips. “I wouldn’t mind if we go to the bathroom together. I would even love that.” He whispered in your lips, which made your face flush a deep red.

 

“Y-yah. I-I didn’t know you-you’re having this side.” You said nervously as you tried to back away, but he pulled you into a hug.

 

“Just kidding. You know I would never do that.”

 

He pulled away from the hug and kissed your cheeks. “So, uh. This is goodnight then?” He asked.

 

You nodded and smiled and you tiptoed a bit to kiss his cheeks. “Yeah, goodnight.” Then the two of you went into your own rooms and you changed clothes there and so on and so forth and then you slept soundly.

 

Oh, and the two of you forgot something last night. D.O saw the two of you being lovey dovey and he immediately went into his room to sleep because he thought he would get instant diabetes at what you were doing.

 

 

Then morning came.

 

 

 

 

“ZHANG YIXING AND PARK SUNHEE! LOOK AT WHAT YOU’VE DONE TO THE KITCHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENN!” Now, this woke you up.

OH. MY. GAAAASH. What did I just write? o,o
