Jongdae casually walked into Baekhyun's house. He's known the girl for so long he knows where her family keeps the spare key -- inside the potted plant near the front door. He knew Baekhyun's mother was working late today. He put the key back into the pot before closing the front door behind him.

"Hey hyung!" Baekhyun's little brother greeted him from the kitchen. 

"Oh, hey Taehyung. No track practice?" Jongdae asked. He would've just rang the bell if he knew.

"Nope. Not today. You wanna play video games?" 

"Sorry, I can't. I'm actually here to hang with Baek." Jongdae shrugged apologetically. 

"Ew." Taehyun cringed before heading up to his room. Jongdae laughed briefly before walking up the stairs to Baekhyun's room.

Opening the door, he found Baekhyun and Minseok talking about something. Baekhyun looked completely excited while Minseok looked at her strangely. He didn't bother asking what they were talking about. Chances of him wanting to know were probably zero. "Sorry, my brother stole my charger. He's so annoying."

"Hey, don't say that about your brother! I'd rather have him then Taehyung. At least he's cute." Baekhyun crossed her arms over her chest, not even trying to suppress the scowl on her face.

"I think your brother's cute!" Minseok spoke, blinking her eyes rather innocently. 

"Ew, I can't believe you just said that." 

"He looks just like you, though." Jongdae rolled his eyes. Baekhyun scoffed, deeply offended that he would even say such a thing.

"No he doesn't!" 

"Yes, he doe--"

"Whatever! Let's just move on." Baekhyun tucked a stray hair behind her ear. "A guy flirted with you today, so prepare to have more guys do that from now on. But remember, keep your eyes on the prize, 'kay?" 

"Okay!" Minseok nodded enthusiastically.

"So today, we'll teach you how to simply talk to a boy, since you sort of freak them out once you open that...mouth of yours." Baekhyun announced. Jongdae, on the other hand, was completely lost. He didn't know Baekhyun was actually going to force him into doing anything. He figured he could live with buying their clothes and whatnot, but this? This was completely different. He'd have to come in contact with Minseok and he wasn't sure if he was even ready...

"What?" Jongdae sputtered, his eyes wide. Baekhyun shot him a look that read 'shut up' before turning back to Minseok.

"Oh, okay... Sounds easy enough!" Minseok beamed. Baekhyun turned around, giving that trademark smirk that Jongdae hated. 

"Come on, it'll be fun~" Baekhyun teased the boy. Jongdae let out an irritated groan before rolling his eyes. 

"Yeah, whatever." Jongdae muttered. 

"Okay, so first thing you must always do is look like you don't give a ." Baekhyun spoke, pointing at a whiteboard that she pulled out of god-knows-where. 

"What?" Minseok raised a brow, genuinely confused. Jongdae, too, stared at Baekyun with an incredulous look. The younger girl sighed, pulling Jongdae up from his seat on the bed.

"Say you're in a hallway filled with boys." Baekhyun motioned towards Jongdae. "The only way to get their attention is if you look like you don't notice them at all. The other way is to look all cute and pure, but that kind of stuff makes me sick. So just stick to the bad way, okay?" 

Minseok blinked before nodding. "Okay! But... How exactly do I do that?"

"Don't make eye contact. And strut. Don't walk with those muscular legs of yours. You don't just walk, you strut like your life depends on it. I'll show you." Minseok observed closely as Baekhyun immediately changed into a different person. She looked more mature (though she already does for someone her age) and quite, how would one say it... badass?

Baekhyun strutted for several steps before turning back around to look at Minseok. It was like she was a model on an Alexander Wang runway fashion show. "Just like that. Now you try." 

The elder stood up a bit hesitantly before attempting her strut, face all awkward as she stared at her feet the entire time. Baekhyun couldn't bear to watch Minseok embarrass herself so she pulled Minseok from her focus. "No no no, that was so bad. Don't ever do it like that again." 

"W-What did I do?"

"For starters, you stared at your feet the entire time." the younger rolled her eyes. "Keep your head up." She lifted the elder
