g, 4,000w
baekhyun’s new roommate intimidates him, so they don’t talk—until he finds his roommate’s drawer full of post-its.
(for rachael (feixing)’s birthday, aka the most demanding (but wonderful) unnir!)

(this was supposed to be really lighthearted and terribly cheesy but then i am incompetent. happy birthday, 我最爱的姐姐~)

General: Baekhyun and Tao have a weird way of communicating - via post-its - which has its benefits, seeing as the two barely talk to each other. Baekhyun doesn't mind it and in the process, gets to know his roommate better. He won't admit he also falls a bit in love along the way.

My Thoughts: Initially, the story reminded me a bit of this other Baektao roommatesAU story I read. I thought Tao was a secret assassin who secretly falls in love with Baekhyun. It's not and surprisingly, the story is VERY cute. I love their communication through post-its and how Tao shows his infatuation subtly in the notes. :3 Baekhyun reminds me of myself since we're both pretty much neat freaks. I squeal over their closeness as roommates and friends but gah, that last part is adorable!

Pairing: Baektao

Length: one-shot
