Chapter 3



It’s such a tiring day. Baekhyun does nothing but sitting on the bench watching the boys playing and reading her book, but it feels so tiring.

Maybe because Chanyeol is being way too obvious.

After that moment where he ties his jacket on her, he keeps it a constant act to keep talking to her even though Baekhyun is clearly avoiding his gaze.

Why won’t she?

He is practically back hugging her and that’s just their second meeting!

Not to mention the buzzing on her phone from Jongdae’s cackling texts again and again.



JDae: I smell the love blooming soon

JDae: I know you are all there

JDae: Talk to me girls

JDae: Let’s pick on Baekhyun and her nonexistent love life

Kyung: What is it, Jongdae?

Myeow: It happens like… six hours ago already. Why are you talking about it now?

JDae: I’m sorry not sorry

JDae: But I have just finished my business with Minseok

JDae: I never know wearing short clothes would seduce him that much

Kyung: Jongdae, stop it! >//
Myeow: God, please help this kid

Bee: You are so pervert, Jongdae

JDae: Hey! The main character is coming!

JDae: Being all touchy already with your lover boy, B?

Bee: …it’s really embarrassing

Bee: I mean

Bee: This is like the second time we meet but he is so

Bee: So

Bee: I don’t know

Kyung: Easy going?

Bee: No

Myeow: Nice?

Bee: He is kind of nice but no

JDae: Possessive?

Bee: You could say that

Bee: He was like

Bee: I dun wanna people stare at your legs so I’m gonna cover them or I’m gonna be jealous

JDae: *whistle*

JDae: That’s a nice one

Kyung: Am I wrong to say that it’s so romantic? ♥

Myeow: He is a decent guy

Myeow: Certainly a keeper

Bee: You girls are not helping! ‘ㅅ’



Baekhyun huffs into the pillow, unable to think about anything else. She is cuddling alone on her bed as her sister is off with her fiancé for a candle light dinner while her parents are whispering sweet nothings in the living room while watching nightly dramas.

It’s sweet to be able to find the perfect one like her parents and her sister.

She wonders whether giving Chanyeol a chance would be worth it.

There’s still an unread message in her phone. One from Chanyeol.

From Chanyeol: Hey, Baekhyun :)
Should she reply?

Hey yourself.

What are you doing? Sisters time again?

No, she is out for dinner with her fiancé. You know, Minseok’s girlfriend, Jongdae? Her brother is engaged to my sister.

Oh wow! I don’t see that one coming. You are destined to be with the Kims (Minseok himself, her girlfriend, and your soon to be brother in law)

I know, right. It’s like a sweet curse to have the Kims all surrounding me.

So what are you doing? You haven’t answered it :(

Damn persistent, Baekhyun muses but she types a reply nonetheless.

Relaxing around. Not doing anything. Not in the mood.

Seriously? Alone?

Yep. Should I be with someone else?

No, that’s not what I mean. I don’t want you to be with someone else rather than me in this Saturday night ;)

So flirty. Baekhyun blushes as she buries her face deeper into the pillow.

Are you always talking in this flirty way?

Not always. I talk like this just to try to grab a lovely girl’s attention :)

Oh wow, such a player.

Hey! I’m a man!

Who says you are a girl.

Well, no one, but I could prove to you that I’m a man ;)

Eww, perv.

I don’t say anything close to pervert. You are the perv one here ;)

Stop that wink emoticon. It starts to creep me out.

Sorry :(

Nah, just joking.

I know. You are a sweet girl though.

Here you go again.

I’m serious, Baekhyun. You are sweet and very pretty.

Baekhyun stills at the last message. He is so damn persistent but she has to admit that her heart flutters at his compliment. It might be just his sweet talk to get closer to her but girls are girls and it’s really easy to get into a girl’s heart.

What do you want from me?

It’s too blunt. It’s rude. But Baekhyun can’t help it. She is too curious.

I want to get to know you more, Baekhyun. You are lovely and I really, really want to get close to you. You intrigue me, I’m not kidding.



Bee: oh gosh

Bee: girls look at this

Bee: Screen Capture 00128 sent.

Kyung: Baekhyun, that’s so sweet!!! ♥♥♥

Myeow: Two thumbs up for him. I like him already. Go, Baekhyun!

JDae: Damn he is such a sweet talker! But I’m sure he is honest enough

JDae: Go try it, Baekhyun. He looks sincere

Kyung: This is the first time you talk seriously tonight, Jongdae.

JDae: Well, it’s all about B so I have to be serious. *flip hairs*

Bee: How should I reply to him?

Kyung: You should accept his offer, Baekhyun!

Myeow: Or you could ask for more time to think?

JDae: Or you can just say “lets get married tomorrow”

Bee: Jongdae, you are really not helping! -,-



Do you think I worth your effort?

You are more than I could ask for. I like you already, Baekhyun.

It’s... too blunt.

Sorry, but I’m just trying to be honest here. So you could see my sincerity.

Alright.

Alright?

Let’s try... whatever it is.

You are serious?!

But I want to start up slow. Can you do it?

Of course! You make me so happy, Baekhyun! \(°♥°)/

The emoticon is cute.

Baekhyun, I know it’s too sudden but... can I call you?

Right now?

Yes. I need to hear your voice.

Should she let him?

Okay.



The soft ringtone of her phone rings and Baekhyun fiddles with her fingers before finally accepting the call.

“Hello?” Her voice trembles at the end.

“Hey, Baekhyun. I’m not disturbing you in the middle of anything, right?” His voice comes through the speaker and Baekhyun closes her eyes, shivering.

“No, you are not. Don’t worry.”

Cue the awkward silence. At least for Baekhyun.

“Tomorrow’s Sunday.” Chanyeol says again.

“Yeah.”

“Do you have any plan?”

“Well, other than lazing around and fattening myself with snacks, no.”

Chanyeol laughs and Baekhyun feels herself smiles at the sound.

“You want to go watch a movie with me?”

Baekhyun stills. He is not moving too fast but Baekhyun’s not sure she is ready. Well, she would never be ready so...

“Okay.”

“Okay?” He confirms.

“Yeah.”

“I’ll come get you at three. Is it fine?”

Baekhyun hums softly. “Yes.”

“Dress prettily, Baekhyun. I can’t wait to see you.” He jokes and Baekhyun feels at ease.

“I’m not going to try to impress anyone.”

“You don’t have to impress me. Just the mere presence of yours is enough for me.”

Baekhyun flushes in pink. “You sure know how to sweet talk, don’t you?”

She hears him laughing.

“You are so interesting, Baekhyun. It’s hard not to like you. How come you are still single until now?” He asks, curiosity filling his tone.

“That’s because I’m not interested in having any relationship. You should be flattered that I’m giving you a chance.”

It’s too rude, she is being too rude, but how else should she show herself? She doesn’t want to fake her character just because a handsome guy is trying to get her.

“Alright, alright. I’m very flattered, Your Highness.” Chanyeol says in between his laugh.

Baekhyun wonders how he could be this comfortable to talk to. They end up talking for another twenty minutes before Baekhyun falls asleep in the middle of their conversation.

Chanyeol stops talking when he hears her steady breathing and he smiles at that.

“Good night, Baekhyun.”



Her Sunday starts a bit different this time. Baekhyun wakes up with her phone laying beside her mouth and that’s when she remembers the event from last night.

Oh no, she sleeps on him!

Well, not really but still.

I’m sorry I fell asleep last night.

Chanyeol’s reply doesn’t come right away like it usually does and Baekhyun grabs the opportunity to take a bath and finds a proper outfit for her first unofficial date with him.

It’s okay, your snoring was cute :) Anyway, good morning, sunshine.

Oh, oh, Baekhyun stifles a laugh at the endearing nickname. Really? Sunshine?

You are so cheesy. I don’t snore. And good morning.

Her outfit consists of a sleeveless navy blue shirt with yellow floral pattern, covered with her favorite black cardigan and ends with the pink flare skirt Kyungsoo helps her choose a month ago, stopping three centimeters above her knees.

You haven’t told me your address, by the way.

Oh, sorry. You know Minseok oppa’s house? His turns to left and mine turns to right. Find the cream house with brown gate and just wait there.

Alright. See you at three.

Baekhyun glances at the clock and finds it’s almost eleven. Still four more hours to go.

She ponders which sling bag better with her outfit.

“Unnie! Can you help me?” She calls for her sister next door.

Footsteps come closer to her room before the door is opened and her sister comes all questioning.

“What’s wrong?”

“Which sling bag would be better off with this outfit?” She points to the clothes laid on her bed.

The look on the elder’s face is pure surprised as she walks closer to the bed.

“You are going somewhere?”

“Yeah, um,” Baekhyun twirls the stray hair, “get a date at three.”

Her sister’s face looks so happy when she mentions about it.

“Baekhyunnie scores herself a date? Without anyone’s help? I’m so proud of you!”

“Unnie!” She whines, stomping her foot.

“And you have chosen a quite decent outfit. Your fashion sense has grown better I see. I’m so proud of you.”

“Unnie, you are proud of me twice.”

“Because I am! Anyway, get that sling bag I gave you last Christmas. It fits the clothes.”

“Alright.” She rummages through her closet.

“Hey, Baekhyun,”

“Yeah?”

“Do you need condoms yet?”

“Unnie!!”



After getting embarrassed from the teasing of her parents when her sister tells them about her date, Baekhyun quickly finishes her lunch to avoid any further embarrassment.

“At least grab one, Baekhyun.” Her mother teases her, whispering into her ear. God knows what will happen if her father had heard it. He wouldn’t let her go to that date for being so possessive over his youngest daughter.

“Mom, stop it!” Baekhyun shrieks, running up the stairs.

Well, should she tell her friends about the date?

...oh, let them know tomorrow. Or any other time.



Her sister helps her applying light make up and Baekhyun is sprinting down the stairs when Chanyeol texts that he is downstairs.

“Hey.”

“Hi.” Baekhyun whispers, unable to look at his eyes and she chooses to stare at the other place.

Wrong move, because he is so handsome, clad in black shirt and blue jeans. So simple yet so attractive.

“You are cute, Baekhyun.” His tone is kind of breathless and dreamy.

Baekhyun dares herself to look into his eyes and she smiles shyly at the compliment.

“Thanks. You look pretty good.” She mutters, stepping away from the closed door.

Chanyeol gives her a charming smile as he guides her towards the passenger seat of his metallic blue car.

“Should we go now?” He asks as they have settled under the seat belt all comfy and ready.

“Yes.” She responses, getting another charming smile from him.

The drive towards the movie theater is comfortable as Chanyeol is doing light conversation. She smiles at his attempt to make her comfortable because practically they are complete strangers to each other.

“What kind of movie you would like to watch, Baekhyun?” He questions her when they stare at the posters of movies playing.

“Anything’s fine. I’m not picky.”

“I’m not going to be cliché like those dramas to choose scary movie just to have you cling onto me.” Chanyeol jokes as he makes his way towards the ticketing.

Baekhyun fakes a soft scoff and she follows him, finding out that he is choosing an action movie. It’s okay though, she enjoys action movies more than romantic movies.

“Let’s get some popcorn. You want cola?”

Baekhyun nods her head.

They enter the studio and the seat they get is on the middle. Baekhyun sits down, it has been a while since the last time she watches a movie. That last time, she watches a horror movie with her three friends and the four of them end up crying so badly, with Kyungsoo being the one who cries the most and hiccupping after that. Jongdae is crying with such an ugly manner at that time.

The movie starts and Baekhyun likes it that Chanyeol is giving her space.

Throughout the movie, the sudden explosion makes Baekhyun jolts in surprise and her hand flies up to grab whatever is it beside her. And Chanyeol’s wrist gets to be the victim of her short nails digging into the skin.

A few more explosions and guns shooting make Baekhyun flinches silently, yet she still enjoys it.

The movie ends slower that she thinks and once the light comes out again, she heaves a relieved sigh.

“You should have told me you are scared.” Chanyeol says in concern and Baekhyun realizes that she is crushing his wrist.

“Oh God, I’m sorry!” She exclaims in panic.

Chanyeol laughs and waves it off.

“Nothing to worry about. Let’s get out, Baekhyun.”

They walk out and Baekhyun keeps on staring at his red wrist. She asks for the chance to go to the restroom and Chanyeol waits patiently for her.

Baekhyun grabs the handkerchief in her sling bag and wets it with the cold water. Once she walks out, Chanyeol smiles and makes a move to walk, but she stops him by grabbing onto his elbow.

“Yes?”

“Please show me your hand.”

Clueless about what she is talking about, Chanyeol lifts both of his hands, only to have his red wrist taken by Baekhyun and it gets wrapped with the handkerchief she wets from before.

“I’m sorry for being such a coward girl.” Baekhyun mutters as she ties the corners of the handkerchief together to keep his wrist cold momentarily.

Chanyeol smiles at her gesture and pats her head gently with his unoccupied hand.

“I’m happy that you could lean on me even in watching action movie and even happier when you are so concerned with my well being.”

Baekhyun rolls her eyes playfully and she tugs him out of the theater.

“Let me treat you for dinner.” She says as she looks at the time on her phone.

“I asked you out so it should be me treating you.” Chanyeol opens the car door for her and covers her head with his hand to avoid her head from bumping. Baekhyun’s heart flutters at that.

“But you paid for the movie and the popcorn already, so it’s only fair that I pay for the dinner.” She says when he gets into the driver seat.

Chanyeol leans towards her, not too close but enough to make her nervous.

“Who says we have to play fair in a date? Let me finish my gentleman gesture for the day, Baekhyun.”

She sighs in defeat. “Alright. Do whatever you want.”

There’s a faint smile playing on her lips and Chanyeol doesn’t miss it.

“I know a good noodle house near.”

She nods with a smile.

“Lead the way then.”



After finishing a bowl of noodle for each, Baekhyun sips onto the iced tea and fiddle with the crumpled tissues she uses to wipe her mouth.

“How’s the date today? Do you enjoy it?” Chanyeol asks her after he gulps down his tea.

Baekhyun smiles to herself.

“I’m surprisingly... enjoying myself. I don’t remember when my last date so thank you was.”She sends him a grateful smile.

The look on his face is happy and clearly satisfied. He hums happily and nods.

“Thank you for wanting to go for a date with me. We may not know each other for that long, but I really hope this won’t be the last.”

Baekhyun tries searching for lie in his eyes and it doesn’t surprise her that she finds none. He sounds sincere enough from the messages and the phone call last night.

“I would like to do this again, Chanyeol.” Baekhyun says with a smile to him.

He chuckles in happiness before nodding.

“I would like to take you out for more dates.”

It’s a very nice first date, Baekhyun admits. Chanyeol turns out to be such an interesting guy and he knows how to handle the awkward situation where they run out of topic in conversation. He handles everything very nice and she likes him a lot already even they have just gone to one date.



“Do you have class tomorrow?” Chanyeol asks her gently as he drives towards the direction of her house.

Baekhyun turns towards him from the window of staring at the night view.

“Yeah. Morning class and noon class.”

“Can I drive you tomorrow morning?” He asks nervously, long fingers tapping against the steering wheel.

Baekhyun sends him an amused smile.

“Yeah, sure.”

“So easy just like that?” Chanyeol asks in disbelief because it’s so hard to get her out for a date and now she easily accepts his offer.

She laughs at his question and Chanyeol steals a surprised glance at her, not expecting to hear her laugh this fast.

“Yeah, I mean, except you are not serious with this then I could get down from this car at anytime.”

“No! I mean, yes. I mean, no, I won’t let you walk by yourself at night time like this and yes, I’m serious in courting you.” He reasons quickly.

Baekhyun grins, even though the words ‘serious’ and ‘courting’ are making her heart jumps in an incredible pace.

“We are here though, so you don’t have any reason to walk by your pretty legs.” He announces, car stopping right in front of her house.

Baekhyun glances at the still lit window and she prepares herself for whatever interview she will be facing from the women in the house.

“Thanks for the ride. And also thanks for the date. I really like it. You are nice, Chanyeol.”

Her words seem to make his mood even better as he leans his arm on the steering wheel and he smiles widely.

“So, tomorrow morning? At seven thirty?”

“Yes, sure.”

“Alright. See you tomorrow, Baekhyun. Thanks again... for everything.”

She laughs, “We won’t stop thanking each other so I will take the initiative to get down and catch some sleep.”

“Yeah, you should. Night, Baekhyun.” He says softly, patting her head.

“Good night, Chanyeol. Drive safely.” She smiles before stepping out of the car and waves him off as his car rounds the corner.

Baekhyun sighs contently as she watches Chanyeol’s car drives further away.

He is too sweet.

Gosh, Baekhyun likes him a lot already.
