"Where's your room?" Baekhyun asked as he roamed around your apartment. You pointed to your room. He ran into your room and jumped on the bed. You ran inside and looked at him. He grinned. "I sleep here. You can sleep..." He patted the side next to him.
You face colored. "N-no way! I'm going to sleep on the couch if you sleep here!" you said and walked out of the room.
Baekhyun ran after you, chuckling. "I'm kidding. I'll sleep on the couch," he insisted.

You sighed and poured water into your glass when you were in the kitchen. "Why can't you just stay at Chanyeol's house?"
"So you are trying to get rid of me?" he asked with a fake pout.
You blinked. "N-no!" you said. "I just... Don't you think the others will miss you if you leave?"
He shook his head. "I hardly talk to them. They're hardly home."
"But why stay at my place?"

He paused and looked at you. "Because then I could be able to see you more often. And I bet you missed seeing my smile too," he said with a grin. Your eyes furrowed. "Besides, we're friends."
You looked at him. *F-friends?! Did I just hear him correctly?* "What do you mean, friends? I thought you hated me..."
He looked at you. "That was before."

You were silent until you finally spoke. "I have--"
"Classes?" he said with sarcasm. "I told you, stop hiding from me."
"I'm not. I have work."
He blinked. "Work? Where?" he asked.
"Why should I tell you?"
"I just want to know."
You sighed. *Please don't tell me that he's going to follow me there...*


You greeted your manager at the store. Baekhyun looked around. "Pft. Knew it." he said.
You looked at him. "What do you mean?"
"I knew that you worked here," he said.
"H-how?"
"Your pink abercromie sweatshirt and your fake glasses."
You bit your lip. "Are you going to leave now?" you asked impatiently.

He shook his head. "In a moment," he said and walked away. You sighed and took the boxes of canned sodas and put them into the fridge.

"Thank you," he said to the manager, after walking out of the employee bathroom.
He turned around and looked at your direction. You carefully sorted out the sodas.
He frowned.

"Hello? Is there anyone that works here?" a customer called out.
"Coming! Please wait a second!" You stood up and brushed your pants. You looked up and saw Baekhyun. Luckily, he was face towards another direction. You gasped and quickly put on fake glasses and pulled your hoodie up. You walked behind the counter with your head lowered. You took Baekhyun's items. Chips, ramen, sodas, and candy. You looked at each and every one of the items. *Is he eating all this?!* He watched you from the corner of his eyes, trying his best to not stop crying. So he just kept looking out the window, smiling. "3979.5000 won," you said softly.

Baekhyun quickly got out his money, not bothering to count them, he gave you 4500 won. "Keep the change." *You deserve it...* He grabbed his items, walking away happily.
You softly smiled as you watched he walk around the corner. *I'm glad to see you still smiling...* You sadly sighed. Your smile faded away. Of course you were happy to see Baekhyun smiling. But what hurt you was not being able to hear Baekhyun's voice or being able to hear him scold you. You sighed and went back to work.

Baekhyun sighed and leaned against the wall at the side of the store, looking back. *It hurts to see you trying to avoid me...* He sighed and walked home.
"Baekhyun oppa!" a girl's voice said behind him. He turned around and saw his cousin, Chaemi. He softly smiled and waved at her.

He and Chaemi sat at a bench, talking about what had happened for the past year. Baekhyun mentioned you over and over. Chaemi smiled as she listened to him. "Oh my gosh! Oppa is in love!"
His ears turned red. "N-no! I am not!"
"Trust me, oppa is! You couldn't stop talking about her for the last 15 minutes!"
He couldn't help but smile and laugh. "Is that so?"

You looked up and saw Baekhyun, with another girl. Your eyes widened. Baekhyun was smiling and laughing at her. You couldn't help but smile of happiness, jealousy, and hurt. You turned the other direction and started walking home. *I'm glad you're really happy. I guess you don't need me anymore...*

Baekhyun blinked and looked up. *I swore I just saw Hyemi...*
"Well, oppa. I have to go home soon. I'll see you later!" Chaemi said and walked away, waving. He smiled and waved back.
Now was his chance to find you. He ran out of the park and down the street. And then he saw you. He was about to call your name, but then, he saw tears coming down your face. He pressed his lips into a firm, straight line. *I'll talk to her tomorrow...*


The next day, you were working at Starbucks. It was a busy day. Students lined up in front of your register and ordered. You exhaled and wiped sweat off your forehead. *Busy day...*
"Hyemi, you can take off now," the manager said.
You nodded and bowed, and started to leave the cafe.

You phone vibrated. 'NOONA! BAEKHYUN HYUNG IS ON HIS WAY TO THE UNIVERSITY!!' the text from Sehun said. You're eyes widened. *Wha--* You suddenly fell down.
The stranger gasped and bent down. "I'm so sorry! Hyemi, are you okay?"
You looked up and there he was. "Baekhyun..."
He looked at your knee. He sighed of relief. "Thank god, you don't have any bruises or scrapes..." he said and helped you up.
You tried to avoid eye contact with him, but every time you tried, you kept looking at his beautiful brown, clear eyes. You gulped. "What are you doing here?" you asked.

He looked at you. "Why? I can't come and see my twerp? I barely get to see you. I haven't seen you for the last whole week! I missed having you around to scold," he said and grinned. *And I missed your silliness...*
You couldn't help but smile. "I'm sorry," you said.
*Now is the time.* "It's okay. But if you really want to make it up, you should buy me some ramen." You sighed and nodded. *Damn it! I panicked! /sighs/ Way to go, Baekhyun..*

Baekhyun ate his ramen happily. You watched him and realized that he hasn't ate a lot since you've left. He looked a lot more skinny than he did before. He looked at you. "Aren't you eating?" You shook your head. He frowned. *You've gotten skinnier...* "Yah, you should eat," he said. He grabbed a the noodles with his chopsticks and held it up at you with his hand under his chopstick incase any of it fell. "Eat," he said. "If you want to see a smiling Baekhyun, the you should eat." You looked at him and realized that he was serious. You sighed and ate the ramen that he held up for you on his chopsticks. "And if you want to see a happier Baekhyun, then you should..." he trailed off.
You looked at him. "I should what?"
"Move back in with us. Or, I move in with you." He was being very serious this time.

Your eyes widened. "Uhm..." You took out your wallet and slammed the money on the table. "I have to get to class."
He followed you out and grabbed your wrist. "Don't even bother. The guys told me everything. You can't hide everything from me." You looked at him. His eyes were getting teary. You looked away in guilt. He held your face, making you look at him again. 
"Don't try to hide from me. And don't even try to get rid of me..." He pulled you into a tight hug, leaning his forehead against yours, and brushed his nose against yours. And your eyes soon widen. It wasn't anything that was shocking of a skinship, like a kiss on the lips, to you. But a kiss on the cheek. He softly smiled against your cheek and hugged you even tighter.

You picked up the box full of candy. You thought it was heavy at first, but then it felt light. You looked up and saw Baekhyun's smiling face. "I'll help," he said and walked over to the candy section with the box, and started unpacking the candy. You walked towards him and reached down to the candy. But Baekhyun grabbed your wrist. "I'll do it."
You carefully looked at him from head to toe. "YOU WORK HERE NOW?!" He looked at you with a grin and nodded. You groaned. *I knew I should've talked him into staying at home!*

"OPPA! I didn't know you work here!" a girl's voice said. You both turned around and saw Chaemi. *Who's that?* you and Chaemi thought. She ran to Baekhyun. "Oppa, you work here?" He nodded.
"Oh, Chaemi. This is Hyemi," he said. "Hyemi, this is my cousin, Chaemi."
You smiled and waved. But Chaemi did a noticable fake smile. "Oppa, are you free this weekend?"
He looked at you. "This weekend? I'm sorry, Chaemi, but I'm busy for the weekend," he said, not removing his eyes away from you.
Chaemi glared at you. "Oh really? What about next week?"
"I think I'm busy that day too," he said.
She pouted. "Oppa! You're always so busy! Is this how you treat your own cute cousin that you haven't met for years?" she whined, clinging onto his arm. You watched them.

He pulled his arm away. "Sorry. But I've busy..." he said and backed away.
She pouted and turned to walk away. As soon Baekhyun turned back to the candy, Chaemi walked towards you. "What are you? His girlfriend? Last time I heard, you guys were just friends! Stop stealing my oppa!" she said quietly to you so Baekhyun wouldn't hear. With that, she left. You blinked. *What was that?!*

"NOONA!" You looked at the door and saw Sehun, running towards you. You smiled. Baekhyun looked up. He turned and looked at Baekhyun. "Hyung!!" he said with less enthusiasm. He turned back to you. "Noona! I missed you!"
You smiled. "Noona missed you too," you said and pinched his cheeks. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to invite noona to my birthday party!" he said cutely. "It's in two days. Will noona be there?"
You nodded. "I'll try!" you said. He smiled and pointed at Baekhyun, asking him if he would come. Baekhyun nodded. He turned to you with a smile and hugged you.
"I missed noona so so so so so so so so so so so sooooo much!" he said, hugging you tighter and tighter.
You chuckled and hugged him back. "Okay okay, no need to squeeze noona to death," you said.

He finally let go of you. "Sorry," he said, rubbing the back of his neck. "I have to go noona, I'll see you later!" he said, running out of the store.
You couldn't help but smile at the maknae's cuteness. You looked at Baekhyun who had his famous poker face back. You then stopped smile and when to a straight face, biting your lip to prevent you from smiling again. But failed. You started laughing at Baekhyun. He frowned and walked towards you, you stopped and slowly backed away. He stopped when he was just an inch away from your face. He smirked. "Twerp," he said and knocked your head back. You pouted and rubbed your head when he walked back and started working again, hiding his smile from you.

*Psshh.. Meanie.*
