He hissed out of cold as he walks. It was not a simple walk for he’s practically walking in a fast pace. Nor it is a simple hiss for it’s a mixture of annoyance and cold. His eyes flicked in burning passion of revenge, in contrary of his wet clothes. He muttered under his breath, sometimes muttering it a little too loud and causes eyes to look at him. When he suddenly sneezed, he grumbled to himself as he walks in an even faster pace, almost slipping in process

He breathes in heavily as he stands in front of a door. ‘Practice Room’ it read, for a moment he reconsider his options. Since the room is a private practice room for senior artists and for coincidence it is a girl group, what if he stepped in the wrong moment? What if they’re changing their clothes freely since there won’t be any boys around? If he does come at the wrong moment, he’s in a lot of trouble. His cheeks redden at the wrong thoughts. He shakes his head to clear his head, a little splashes of water came out of his hair like how Magikarp attacks. But thinking about what happened that morning, the bundle of emotion came back and that burning passion lit up in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and turns the door knob

“Yah! Byun Bae Lin!”

His shout echoes through the room, as 5 girls that sat in circles on the wooden floor settled their eyes on him.  Their expression says everything but surprise. It is like they already expect him to come. Even a girl on the center smiled beamingly upon his arrival, their eyes met in instance

Baekhyun’s cheeks redden when his eyes came in contact with her. He cleared his throat and averted his eyes

“H-Hi Dahoon…” he managed to stutter out that simple greeting. The girl, who’s now known as Dahoon, smiled at him

“Hi Baekhyun” her soft voice seems to make his heart leaped in excitement. He stole some glances at her and her sweet smile, only to have him blushing

“Aren’t you going to greet us?”  A girl, positioned laying down on the floor with feline eyes and toothy grin said to him. Baekhyun got flustered for not noticing his sunbaes around Dahoon earlier

“Annyeong haseyo sunbaenim-deul” he bowed respectively at them. Some of them got up and bowed back, some just nods their heads while one person is too engrossed with her phone to even acknowledge his presence. It is not indifferent for Baekhyun to see the shorthaired sunbae, the even more famous Jung Na Rae, to not respond to him. It is a normal view for him and for everyone

Baekhyun stood there awkwardly, when he realized there’s two missing platinum blonde and jet-black heads on the room

“Where’s-“

“Baelin?” Leesam questioned him

Baekhyun blinked “Uhh yeah, how did you-“

“You kinda yelled her name earlier. And by the look of confusion on your face, you realized that the person you look for is not here” The girl, Minyeol, adjusted her glasses as she smiled proudly at herself. Baekhyun got flustered yet again, oblivious to the fact that he’s too obvious to be read by the smartest girl on the building. He doesn’t like the feeling, he feels a bit exposed

“Well she’s gone” The girl that was on the floor, Amyeo, got up while performing a perfect scorpion “Dae eonni and her had gone to see Sooman ahjussi” she grinned happily, as if what she had said was a good news. Beakhyun cursed under his breath, not only he has lost his ‘Evil Vixen’ now he has to make an excuse for his CEO to take her out. Another unfortunate event waiting to happen is he has to explain why is he wet. He’s glad that the girls didn’t ask him, maybe they already heard it from Baelin

“I’ll keep you company” Dahoon suddenly stated as she got up, a towel on her hand. Baekhyun held up his hands and shakes his head “N-no need, I can go there by myself and-“ before he could finish his sentence, a soft fabric hits his face and drops on his palms, his jaw dropped at the sudden attack

“I must watch over you in case you got clumsy” she puts a finger on his chin to close his agape mouth “Not to mention you’re drenched, somebody has to dry you up” she puts the towel on top of his head, proceeding to dry his damp hair in a light manner, bringing red heat to his cheeks and a few silent squeals as BGM “Plus, Bae listens to me more than she listens to you” she gave him an assuring smile and holds his hand “I’ll be back eonnis” she exclaimed to the group of girls behind her as she walks out of the room. 3 of the girls gave an exaggerated farewell while the rest are giving the trio a judging look

Baekhyun looked down, they’re walking hand in hand to the office. Her hand feels soft and small on his, her fingers entwined with his perfectly. They walked in a comforting silence, a smile plastered on both faces. Baekhyun took a glance at her. A beautiful woman indeed, his stomach felt butterflies whenever he looks at her. Dahoon looked at him from the corner of her eyes before turning to smile at him. She moves closer to hi, their arms brushed each other. The contact gave a tingling sensation to him, and it feels good

He feels warm now

Maybe it’s not such a bad day
