Baekhyun shivered, it was a bit too cold for his liking, that was probably because he forgot to get his jacket on his way out. Him and Jongdae were walking for almost 40 minutes now (due to the fact Jongdae had his car taken away after not showing up at home for almost 6 days for unknown reasons). Baekhyun had no idea where the younger was taking him and for some reason he kept following behind like an obedient puppy.

"Are we there yet?"

Jongdae simply shook his head and pick up his pace. "You'll like it," He paused, "Probably."

Baekhyun groaned outwardly but inside, he truly was excited to see what his loud friend has planned.

The latter looked up at the abandoned building and gulped, he was well aware of the date and he cursed himself for not having second thoughts about following his friend to an unknown location.

"We're meeting here after 11, you can bring Sehun and your little boyfriend to protect you if you want." Baekhyun frowned and crossed his arms.

"First off, Chanyeol is not my boyfriend-" Jongdae raised a finger and interrupted the older in a slightly louder tone.

"I don't remember mentioning anyone's name, Baek, you were quick to assume that I was talking about Park." He had a winning smirk plastered on his face which was pissing the hell out of Baekhyun.

"Secondly, what if I don't show up?"

"Oh? Did you forget our game? Either you confess to you-know-who or you join me, Minseok and Tao in our little adventure."

The latter groaned, how could he forget.

But suddenly, something struck his curiosity.

"Why's Tao coming? Doesn't he hate this kind of thing?"

"Let's just say he lost in a bet." Jongdae gave him an evil grin which was quick to shut the latter up.

It took him a while to respond but he did. And boy does he regret it. "Okay, fine. But you'll have to pick me up, I won't remember my way back here."

"Deal."

＊

"Hey Sehun!" Baekhyun waved excited as he approached the other's front door. "What do you want?" Sehun muttered with his arms crossed in front of the door, blocking it.

"So Jongdae invited me to go to this.. uhm... Place later today, do you wanna come?"

"Where exactly and when?"

"After 11PM.. The location is... You'll see when you get there."

The other raised a suspicious brow, glaring down at his best friend. "Why do I have the feeling you're gonna kidnap me and take me to this really weird place to torture me?" Baekhyun scoffed at the younger's response.

"Relax, will you? Long story short, I was dared and I don't want to go alone-"

"Then why don't you take your boy-" Sehun said that a little too loudly for Baekhyun's taste.

"Shut up! And he's not my fucking boyfriend, brat! Go with me or else I will kidnap you at night, you hear me?!"

A few passer-byres gave the two weird looks but continued with their daily commute after Baekhyun threw a few death glares at their direction.

"Whatever floats your boat." The taller of them whispered with his infamous poker face.

Baekhyun was about to smile at him before he opened his mouth to utter something else out.

"But. You have to bring Chanyeol."

His what-was-supposed-to-be a smile dropped and he glared up at the taller for about a minute in silence.

He sighed, he knew he wasn't going to beat his best friend's blank look so he simply nodded.

"I'll talk to him." He mumbled with puffed checks.

Honestly, after that stupid Love Expert or whatever it's called confirmed Baekhyun was in fact in love with a certain giant, he began avoiding him. Maybe trying to see if the feeling would go away but it only increased and increased. He didn't know how he was supposed to ask Chanyeol now.

"Just to make sure you aren't lying, I'll have you talk to him on the phone. In my room. On speaker." Baekhyun froze. He looked up at Sehun with mixed emotions: hate, shock and somewhat relief. He decided he was gonna go with hate for this one.

"Don't you trust me?" He whispered with a pout.

"Drop it. We're calling him right now. Give me your phone." Before Baekhyun could protest, Sehun had already reached for his pocket and snatched his device from him. The younger bolted up the stairs before Baekhyun could even react or try to take back his phone. When the latter snapped out of it he ran up the flight of stairs and pushed his best friend's door open.

Sehun thought back to what he said, technically, he was supposed to go only if Baekhyun talked to Chanyeol so why was he putting in all this effort into making them speak? He figured he just wanted their relationship to be sorted one way or another. He wasn't one to admit it, but he secretly shipped them. Hardcore.

"Finally, now hurry up, I don't have all day." Sehun tapped his foot.

Baekhyun glared up at him as he tried to steal his phone back from the younger's grasp, but of course, he was too slow. When the devise was in his reach, Sehun raised his arm up high, knowing Baekhyun was too short to get it. Didn't stop him from trying tho, Baekhyun dug his nails in Sehun's skin and tried stepping on his feet but all of his efforts went in vain when after a rough 3 minutes of trying, he stumbled back, panting yet glaring up at his unfortnately tall best friend.

"Are you done?" He smirked as he fixed his clothes.

He didn't get a response but Baekhyun knew he wasn't going to win this fight so he sat down on his bed and began looking through the older's contact list, searching for Park Chanyeol.

Sehun scoffed as his finger hovered over said name, which by the way, had a star next to it. Yes, a star.

"Let's get this over with." Baekhyun huffed as he sat down next to his best friend.

"Very much excited, aren't we?" Sehun mumbled sarcastically.

"He isn't gonna pick up, just give up." Said Baekhyun after about the 8th ring.

But when least expected, someone answered. Baekhyun's heart dropped at that very moment and both, the room and the other line went silent.

"Hello?" A familiar deep voice greeted.

Sehun flicked at Baekhyun's wrist for him to snap back into reality and talk. If not speaking at all was the older's game, then Sehun wasn't having any of it.

The latter blinked a few times before whispering softly. "H-Hi..."

"Baekhyun."

"Yes?"

"Why did you call?"

"O-Oh..uhm... D-Do you want to go to this.. uhm.. Place with me?" He stuttered, covering his face with Sehun's pillow to try to calm down.

There was silence from the other line which made Baekhyun even more anxious about his decision.

"Are you asking me out on a date?" Sehun almost burst out laughing but had to hold it in, the look on Baekhyun's face was priceless.

"N-No! I'm not! Sehun, Jongdae, Minseok and Tao are gonna join us- I mean are gonna go" The latter slapped himself.

Why was he acting this way? It's not like this was in fact a date.

"I see. Sure. Should I meet at your house or you-"

"SEHUN." Baekhyun cleared his throat awkwardly. "Sehun, c-come to Sehun's house at around 10:30PM... The others will pick us up."

The younger was laughing his ass off on the ground while Baekhyun stepped on him, telling him to shut the fuck up or else.

"Will one car fit.. six people tho?"

Fuck.

Baekhyun hadn't thought this through at all.

"Nevermind. Jongdae, that's his name right? Will lead and I'll follow behind in case one car isn't enough."

"Well you see-" Baekhyun was about to mention how Jongdae's car was taken away but Sehun slid a hand to cover his mouth.

"I'll let them borrow my car." He whispered in the older's ear.

"Sehun's with you?"

The younger had totally forgotten that the phone was on speaker, which made the situation funnier than it already was.

"Y-Yeah, d-did you hear what he said?"

"Yeah. I guess I'll meet you at 10:30 then."

"A-Alright, bye.." Baekhyun was quick to hang up before the other line could say it back.

"You're so awkward."

"Shut up. It was your fault."

"Shots fired."
