“First love.” Baekhyun said loud and clear.

Jamie visibly tensed but the males didn’t notice, delved in their own memories.

“Umm...” Tao started, trying to recall his first heartfelt memories. “I think mine was when I was in kindergarten. I didn’t exactly remember how it felt but I remembered saying I would marry her when we’re older.”

“That’s not even count as love you idiot. It’s just a mere childhood crush which you played house and spouting marriage nonsense.” Baekhyun scoffed.

Surprisingly though, Tao didn’t feel offended as he barely shrugged off his hyung’s word. “Whatever you say.”

Baekhyun turned to Jamie but the girl didn’t bother looking anywhere else but at her glass of water so he decided to go first.

“Mine was in high school. She was in the same class with me. I thought she was cute and smart so I asked her out. We didn’t work out at the end but she was close to being my first love. How about ... you Jamie?”

“...”

“Jamie?”

“N-ne?”

“Your first love.”

“...”

“Or you don’t have one yet?” Tao wriggled his eyebrows in a teasing manner.

“I-I... just I-I don’t see how that tell you anything about myself. It’s about your first love, not you.” Jamie reasoned.

“That’s kinda true.” Baekhyun nodded.

“But it’s already out. Just tell us.” Tao whined.

“...”

“You haven’t experienced one yet, have you?” Tao chimed and as all he received was silence, he chirped and pinched Jamie’s cheek.

“Aww... How cute.”

Feeling the need to evade the topic, she decided to fire back. “W-well yours can't even count as a first love. I don't think you're in any position to say that sunbae." Jamie glared at Tao who visibly reddened in embarrassment as Baekhyun chuckled at his band mate silly antics.

"Ahem..." Tao cleared his throat and changed the topic immediately. "Alright guys. My turn. The topic is a person who like right now. Remember only truth."

Jamie panicked. Big time. She could lie but she already did and twice was going to bite into her conscience. Adding to the fact she's not a very good liar. She at lying. She's going to sweat profusely, she's going to stutter like a toddle and a-and ... No! Just NO! She can't lie! P-please god! W-where's the f-food?! Where is it when you need it??? FOOO-

"Totally unrelated. How does talking about your current crush tell others more about yourself?" Baekhyun frowned.

"Why not? Take it as we would know the type of person you like by letting us know your current crush. And besides its fun!~" Tao defended himself.
;’
"Then just ask us the characteristics we would like our future partner to have." Baekhyun shrugged.

"But that would be no fun!!" Tao whined but didn't make any move to argue further and appeared to be deep in thoughts. Probably making up excuses.

Jamie's heart calmed as Baekhyun subtly winked at her. She mouthed a thanks and sighed in relief while Tao was finally coming up with excuses which all were, fortunately, quickly dismissed by Baekhyun.

In the midst of their quarrel (which Jamie by the way tuned out most of it), the food finally arrived. When asked why it took longer than it supposed to, they were told there were simply too many customers. The trio finally noticed even their quiet corner was occupied. And judging by the looks of it, they didn't exactly behave like civilized grown-ups so they all decided to bury their faces in their bowl of shame.

It did seem like forever when they entered the restaurant but a flash of light as they left it. None said a thing until Jamie saw Baskin Robbins across the street.

"Can we go for ice cream?" She asked the two males with a pleading tone as both widened their eyes at her pouty lips and twinkling eyes which she did in total unconsciousness.

So they, without a fuss, agreed because that would probably the last time they would see her out of character. They didn't regret it despite the lateness for such a sweet dessert seeing how her face lit up immediately and jumped slightly on her feet all the way to the shop.

The trio entered the shop to find its service was down right terrible when most of the female employees gave Jamie dirty looks (that her oppas could easily spot) but smiled and gave them suggestive looks. Apparently, the feline girl, though late, noticed when she asked to taste a flavor as the employee rolled her eyes while handing the sample not so nicely.

Baekhyun knew she was about to snap so he came over and squeezed her shoulders gently as he put his chin on top of her head. The employees at the shop gasped silently but blushed at cuteness emitting from the attractive male.

"Have you decided on what you are having Jamie?" He asked her gently as he looped his arms around her shoulder over her neck while smirking to himself.

Jamie's breath hitched at the close contact and pinked but she surprisingly managed to answer without tripping over her own tongue.

"I don't know yet. Probably something on the sour side since it's late. Are you having anything sunbae?"

"I'm getting whatever you're getting." He smiled as he tightened his arms around her.

"I'm getting whatever you're getting too Jamie. And hyung stay away from her." Tao snarled as she pried Baekhyun's arms off Jamie and replaced it with his own, crouching down slightly to put his head on top of her head before giving it a quick peck.

"S-sunbae!" She whipped around and would have probably hit Tao in the nose if the boy wasn't a wushu master.

"What? It's not like I haven't done it before." Tao said with a nonchalant expression as Baekhyun's jaw nearly drop to the ground. Noted, nearly since Baekhyun always knew Tao's EXO's skin ship king, just not to the extent of doing it so comfortably to a girl that he knew for less than 2 months.

He wondered if it's a natural occurrence between the two however quickly discarded the thought when Jamie pushed Tao away with an embarrassed look on her face and scowled at the said male when he got closer to her 1 meter radius barrier.

"So what flavors?" Baekhyun asked as he stepped inside the barrier and smirked at Tao when the girl spoke nothing of his invasion.

As Tao gloomily dragged himself away to find them seats, Jamie told Baekhyun she wanted a strawberry lemonade sherbet together with love potion #31 and a classic cookie and cream. He smiled charmingly at the employee and asked her to scoop the listed flavors into three separate cups. However when Jamie took out her wallet to pay for her own potion, Baekhyun shooed her away and paid for all 3.

"But sunbae-"

"Shhh. Just let me."

"Sun-"

"Don't."

"S-"

"How much is it?" Baekhyun ignored Jamie and asked the cashier.

After Baekhyun paid, all the while ignoring Jamie's pouty face, they spotted Tao, waving from the seats near the window.

"Hyung did you pay for me as well?!" Tao exclaimed with glee.

But Baekhyun shot it down right away.

"You owed me of course."

"Owie hyung!!"

"Don't hyung me."

"Hyun-"

"Umm. This love potion one is really nice Jamie."

"Hy-"

"I'm glad you like it sunbae."

"H-"

"The sherbet is yummy too."

"You could go eat ice cream with me next time sunbae. I know all the nice flavors."

"We totally should." Baekhyun smiled before scooping a small potion of the cookies and cream flavor.

"Don't ignore me!" Tao hissed.

"Did you hear something sunbae?" Jamie quizzed.

"No I didn't. Did you Jamie?" Baekhyun played along.

"Don't do that!!!" Tao yelled, voice echoed across the small empty shop as the other two laughed aloud at his frustration.

"Alright. We'll stop." Baekhyun chuckled.

And when Tao kept maintaining his pissed-off face, Jamie sighed.

"Sorry sunbae." She smiled apologetically while offering some ice cream with her spoon.

Tao beamed and accepted the offer without questioning. He squeaked as the strong sourness hit his taste bud with no mercy.

"Gaaahh!!! Jamie!!! Ugh... So sour..."

"No it's not." Jamie frowned as she ate a portion of strawberry lemonade.

Baekhyun snorted when he noticed that evil glint in her eyes. Tao was as gullible as he always had been.

"Poor our maknae. Here." Baekhyun cooed as he offered a small scoop of love potion flavor though Tao looked at him skeptically (while Jamie giggled discretely), he ate it after all.

"Hyung! That one is sour too! You two are bullies!!" He yelled and pointed a finger at them both accusingly.

"Bullies? We're the kindest people you've ever met I let you know that." Baekhyun retorted and slung an arm over Jamie's shoulder as she reciprocated the action.

"Devils... I should never have agreed to meet up with you hyung. You're bad influence on her."

"No I'm not. Am I a bad influence Jamie?"

"No you're not sunbae."

"See?"

“Ugh. Fine. Whatever you two are both devils.” Tao huffed and crossed his arms childishly.

“Sunbae. You’re such a baby.”

“I am not! I'm a full ledge man!” Tao argued.

"Pfft. What man can't handle tiny bit of sour?" Jamie huffed as she propped another spoonful of ice cream inside and moaned in delight. 

"You sure are different from when we first meet." Tao pointed out, scrunching his face up every bite of that dreadfully sour ball of death. 

Jamie couldn't help but chuckled mentally. The older was always so childish. She started to wonder how he behave towards the older members of EXO. 

Probably a whiny panda. 

Baekhyun sighed as he slid lower down his seat, watching the not-so-subtly glances from Jamie to the panda across her who was munching on his ice cream not-as-happy-as-ice-cream-supposed-to-make-you-feel. He wondered how the male could be so oblivious of the affection the cat girl had for him. It's as obvious as day. He's sure even the usually blank Yixing would notice.

"Hyung!"

"Huh?" 

"I asked you what time it was. But you was like blanking out or something." Tao frowned.

"Oh. Sorry."

"It's 9 already." Jamie's eyes widened as she glanced at her phone. Time flew. 

"Wow. We hung around for 3 hours." Tao gasped. "You need to go back Jamie."

"I indeed do." Jamie agreed in a heartbeat and stood up. 

The trio hurried their way out of the shop as the two male exited without sparing a glance to flirty looks shot their way.

"Time sure flies." Baekhyun commented.

"Yea. It was fun though." Jamie quirked a small smile which made Tao ruffled her hair furiously. 

"You two-faced dork. How come you are so kind to everyone but me." 

"Sunbae! Don't mess up my hair! I told it tangles together easily." Jamie grumbled as she untangled a messy ball.

"Owww! I hate you sunbae!" She yelped as the strands were tugged harshly against her scalp. 

"Okay okay I'm sorry. Slowly. Slowly untangle them. Don't tug on them so hard." 

"I can't see where it got tangle though." She frowned then suddenly yelled at Tao. "I told you didn't I! It's not a girl thing if you're wondering. My hair does got tangled together easily. Now it becomes this freaking ball! It hurts like hell!! Try getting your hair pull or you won't know how it feels!"

"Right right. I'm sorry! I didn't know it would hurt that much." Tao clapsed his hands together as the feline girl threatened to yanked his hair out. 

"You guys are such children." Bakehyun shook his head as he pushed Tao aside and started to examined the ball of hair. 

The bicker stopped immediately as Baekhyun wordlessly starting to untangle the ball of hair carefully. He would occasionally asked Jamie whether it was painful. She would nodded silently with tinted pink cheeks. Witnessing Baekhyun's sweet gesture, Tao felt his stomach bubbled in discomfort. He realized he didn't appreciate the close proximity between the two, how Jamie shyly glanced at Baekhyun or how Baekhyun smiled so kindly at her. He frowned when a small yelp escaped from Jamie.

"Sorry but it's alright now." Baekhyun shot Jamie an apologetic smile.

"No it's okay. Thank you sunbae." Jamie smiled shyly. 

"And you." Baekhyun turned to Tao who cowered at his hyung's harsh tone. "Stop with that thing you do." 

"N-ne hyung." 

"Let's go home." The oldest announced and went ahead with Jamie in tow. 

Jamie didn't forget to stuck her tongue out at the panda who in turn gaped at the young girl. "Wow. Just wow. I've been fooled. The biggest fool of the year." Tao mumbled to himself in astonishment. 

"You sure are scary little kitty." 

They made it home without much dispute. Tao and Baekhyun stopped to drop Jamie off at her apartment before going back to their own place. Baekhyun didn't forget to give her his number though, much to Tao's displeasure. He didn't like Jamie having other guys phone numbers however took pride in being several steps before his hyung.

"Call me okay?" Baekhyun winked caused Jamie slapped him not-so-lightly on the forearm. Baekhyun shrieked as Jamie quickly apologized for her careless action and uncontrollable strength. 

"You sure could pack a punch for a girl." Baekhyun pouted as he rubbed the damaged area. 

"I'm sorry sunbae! I swear I didn't mean it." 

On the other hand, Tao tried to control his laughter that his mouth twitched weirdly. Jamie noticed the strange motion so she decided to ask her but before she could, the male burst. 

Baekhyun glared at his dongsaeng made him zipped his lips immediately. Tao hightailed towards the elevator before Baekhyun raised his fist.

Jamie chortled made Baekhyun chuckled as well. He straightened up and patted Jamie's head. 

"I mean it though. Call me okay?" 

"Eh?"

"Whenever you need a listening ear, call me." Baekhyun made a telephone sign and held it close to his ears. 

Jamie nodded with a small smile as she copied his action. Baekhyun laughed at her cute actions. 

"Now I know why Tao like hanging around you." Baekhyun patted her head the last time as Jamie gave him a confused look, before turning towards the elevator directions where Tao was waiting, if he dared to.

"Thank you sunbae." She, nonetheless, called after Baekhyun who turned back and saluted with his two fingers.

She watched his figure slowly disappeared around the corner. A sigh escaped her lips as she opened the apartment.

It was tiring day but she decided that she loved every bit of it. It's been while since she felt so happy and loved. Mostly loved.

Author's Note

Sorry guys for not uploading for a long time. I was in holiday mode. I went to the capital of Vietnam, Ha Noi and spent time with my mother's side relatives so I didn't have time to update. I hope this chapter is enough for your feels. 

Baekhyun, being the cutie he is was friendly to Jamie though Tao thought he was too touchy. Can Tao and Sehun handle the fact Jamie has another male figure in her life? The next chapter will be confrontation in disguise as a casual lunch date. Look forward to it. 

Anyways, I forgot to give you guys an image of how I imagine In Hye, our newest addition. So here you go.

(I don't own this picture. The graphic belongs to its rightful owner.)

I have no idea who she is though. In Hye is a mature character. She usually doesn't give a about anything but her career, her studying and her little brother. Anybody was able to guess who the male she talked to was? I tried to be secretive. I hope it works!!! Muahahahhaha!!~~ 

Ehem... Anyhow, I will try to escalate things a little. As in making it more interesting not speeding things up. If you have any requests, leave them below in the comment section. Or just comment for the sake of commenting. I appreciate it guys. Thanks! That is all for now. Toodles!!
