"What's going on? Are you mad at me?"

You couldn't bring yourself to look at him in the eyes, you didn't want to. When the logic finally slipped back into your head you couldn't do anything but feel embarrassed by your own behavior.

Slowly, you finally managed to turn your head in Baekhyun's direction.
His eyes looked lost in yours, a guilty expression on his beautiful face. At that moment you felt really bad. He hadn't done anything in particular to offend you, yet you were feeling angry for something so silly, for something he didn't even do it on purpose.

And now he was there in front of you, blaming himself for something he hadn't done.

Slowly you slipped away from his grip. While holding the spot he had touched you while looking away, feeling how your cheeks grew hotter by every minute. And as if it wasn't enough your heart was beating too fast for your own good. It was beating strongly against your ribs, every beat echoed in your ears.

"I'm - I'm not mad." You stuttered forcefully, it had taken you very much strength to say those words, the stubborn side of you didn't want to forgive him yet. But it was stronger than you. It wouldn't take long for your heart to soften at him, he'd always win. Just the ever so slight pleading look was enough to make you give into him.

Suddenly the look on his face changed completely, his lips curled into a cocky smirk. At that moment you couldn't anything but frown, the drastic change of mood made you confused, the thoughts messily scattered into your head.

You frowned at him as he brought his hand to his chin, pretending to be reflecting on something. You watched him dumbfounded, as it is the only thing you could do at the moment.

"Don't tell me you wanted to confess but were too shy!" He started with a grin, your eyes widening at his wrong conclusion.

"What?" Was all you could manage out, the obvious disbelief dripping from your words. His grin widened, hell he looked cute but at that time you had preferred to rip it off with a big mega slap.

"Aw come on honey, if you wanna go out, all you gotta do is tell me! I have plenty of time for you." He flattered, a flirty smile playing on the corner of his lips, but he was far from serious, and that made the furiousness from before come back in no time.

You felt the heated blood rush to your face, the anger taking over you. If you'd get angrier, you were sure that steam would be fuming out of your ears right now.

You were sure he could see the steam fuming out of your ears, as he was enjoying your reaction. Now you were beyond angry.

" You're such an insensible bastard." You smiled bitterly through your gritted teeth, shaking your head in disbelief. Feeling so stupid to have thought that he actually was going to be serious for once. You should had expected something like this from him.

Your words seemed to cut him deeper than they did usually.

"Y/n-ah.." he started softly, guiltiness filling his dark eyes. Normally you would have pitied him and forgiven him. But today you didn't care. After that, you couldn't just bring yourself to, the anger inside of you was clouding up everything.

"Just get lost." You spat and walked away from him, every step feeling heavier and heavier, the sound of your low heels clacking against the floor echoed through the hall.

Baekhyun couldn't help but feel a bit hurt by your words, and before he could control his childish side he yelled back in frustration.

"Ugly witchhhhh!" He gritted his teeth squeezing his eyes at your walking silhouette.

"Aish who does he think he is? That jerk. Why is he even my friend for fuck's sake." You cursed incomprehensibly to yourself, not noticing how people had started to stare at you.

When you were at home you felt the satisfaction of having a more valid reason to avoid that jerk.

A feeling of relief made your shoulders relax from the current tensed state, being a bit happy that you wouldn't see Baekhyun for the rest of the day. Or at least that was what you thought.

The truth was, you didn't want him to think you liked him, or just fool yourself in front of him because of how your nervousness made you act.

Heck, you wanted to spend your time with him. Every single hour. But you always pushed that thought away because you couldn't admit it. Even if sometimes you couldn't find anything wrong with it, you just couldn't let yourself see him like that.

And especially because right now you were pretty much mad at him. For being so mean, and acting so insensible, he didn't even consider your feelings before speaking.

The situation was off balance, you wanted to see him yet not. Your heart reacted so strongly at his presence, you wanted to get closer to him, yet you couldn't accept that matter.

"Why him out of all people." You sighed heavily as you threw yourself on the sofa in the living room.

You sighed with satisfaction when your body was comforted by the soft fabric, making you feel cozy and relaxed. Though the enjoyable moment didn't last long as you heard your phone vibrate. You wanted to ignore it but the curiosity took the best of you.

Unlocking your phone you could see Baekhyun's name on the display, you groaned loudly in frustration as your moments of peace were already thrown away somewhere far. Too far. Even if you wanted to, you couldn't ignore his texts, cause that'd mean being spammed until your phone broke.

Unwillingly, you read the messages.

- Y/n... // Baek

-Bby girl please answer// Baek

Your heart skipped a beat at the nickname he had given you, your lips curled into a heavy cringe.

- Ew don't call me that.

You replied.

- Aw come on! Can I come at your place? // Baek

When you read that message the eyebrows furrowed on your forehead as you silently mouthed a 'wtf.'

First, he acts all annoying and now he wants to visit you? Hah like you were letting him off easy this time.

- HAHAHAHHAHA of course.

When you send the message you couldn't help but smirk.

- What really?" // Baek

You laughed out loud and typed down your so sassy answer.

- Sike you thought, now get lost. Don't wanna meet you.

You stared at your message hesitantly, doubting that you had been a bit too mean with the last sentence.

- You are so mean ;-; // Baek

You didn't realize how your lips had curled up into a sweet smile as you could imagine how Baekhyun was pouting at his phone.

- That wasn't new -_-

"But please can I come? // Baek

He insisted, and you sighed, why did he want to come so badly anyway?

- No.

You replied simply, expecting this conversation to end right there. But you were wrong.

- I'm already in front of your house though, so, please? // Baek

As you read that, you felt how your heart flipped inside of your chest, your eyes widening as you somehow started coughing violently.

You stared awestruck at the message, not really believing he was here, now you had really no choice.

With a sigh you replied.

- Whatever, the door is open.

"Wohooo I knew you wouldn't let me down!" You heard Baekhyun cheer excitedly from the entrance, already regretting your choice you started massaging your temple in order to keep calm.

He sang the way to the living room where you were sitting and he plopped himself next to you on the couch.

"What's up Baby girl?" He smiled sweetly, showing his pearly teeth. His voice so smooth and incredibly nice, your brain telling you that you liked it before you could even get a hand over your own feelings...

The pulse immediately sped up the moment he had sat beside you. And the nickname didn't make it easier for you. Since your cheeks were red as burning hot, you decided to avoid looking at him.

"Don't call me that." You ordered nonchalantly, keeping a nonbothered expression on your face.

"Ya ya ya, playing hard to get? With me?" He complained and your lips twitched with a 'tch.'

Of course you were, duh?

"What do you want?" You then asked, wanting to come directly to the point of his visit. Baekhyun dropped the act and became more serious.

"I'm sorry for before, I was acting stupid." He admitted sincerely, his voice was calm yet there was a trace of dejection.

You didn't know if you could trust his current seriousness at 100%, but you decided to just accept his apology, losing another fight against him.

"Don't worry about it, it's fine."

A delighted look crossed his face as he beamed tenderly at you, his hand landed on top of your head, caressing it smoothly.

You hated to admit it, but that had felt damn good. Your eyelids closed at his touch, as you enjoyed the way he was massaging your hair. The mix of his scent and touch were by now one of the best things you knew.

"This is why you'll be my bestie forever." He whispered sweetly, making you wonder if that meant you were in the friend zone forever. Though you shrugged the thought away as fast as it came, just thinking about it broke your heart.

Suddenly you remembered the little argument you had in the corridor at school, and his words replayed in your head making you feel so insecure. Maybe that was why you were in the friend zone?

You gulped loudly, trying to gather some courage to ask this one silly question that had just been ruining your confidence.
Slightly, you tugged on Baekhyun's sleeve, and immediately he gave all of his attention to you. When his eyes had found yours, you felt how a rush ran down your spine, butterflies bloomed in your belly. He had a questioning look on his face, with a gleam of genuine care.
"Baekhyun... Am I really that ugly?"
