Chapter one.

Baekhyun's eyes scanned over sehuns handwriting, reading what he wrote.

So I read on WikiHow that men are more attracted to others that are confident. Also, many men find that being confident is more attractive than pure physical beauty, which you already have. Just try to be a bit more assertive about your interests, goals, and ideas. Basically, don't be the shy little shit you normally are.

A laugh escaped Baekhyun's lips as his eyes scanned the last sentence, shaking his head slightly. He put the piece of paper down and sighed, staring at the pale wall of his bedroom.

'How do I act confident, I cant even look at him properly.' He thought to himself as he pulled his body up and off of his bed, waltzing downstairs to make him some food, thinking it'll help.

Grabbing an apple, Baekhyun walked into the living room, floppig down on the sofa as he unlocked his phone, searching up ways on "how to be confident". His eyes skimmed the small font as he read pages and pages on the matter, desperate to become more confident.

By the time Baekhyun had finished his apple, he deemed himself ready to start step number one.

The soft glow of sunlight brushed against Baekhyun's cheek as his eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the light of the morning. A groan escaped his lips as  he dragged himself up off of the bed to do his morning routine.

Once he was done, he walked downstaird into the kitchen, his gaze landing on his mother, who was stood by the stove, cooking what looked like pancakes.

"Morning, mum." Baekhyun said, walking up to the woman, leaving a kiss on her cheek.

"Good morning," she replied, "take a seat at the table, I'll bring these over in a minute."

Baekhyun nodded and moved towards the table, sitting down and taking his phone out, scrolling down his social media pages before hus gaze lifted towards his mother, who was coming towards him with two plates stacked with pacakes.

"One for you," she said, placing one plate in front of Baekhyun, "and one for me."

They began to eat, allowing Baekhyun to sink into a world of his own thoughts, going over his plan for the day.

"Bye, have fun!" Chanyeols mother shouted as he walked outside. He smiled back and waved before turning back around and making his way to school.

It wasnt a long walk to school from his house, only taking Chanyeol around ten minutes. He walked through the gates with a small smile on his face, only to have it completely whiped off when a small male walked up to him, latching onto his arm before speaking.

"Hey." Was all the boy said, Chanyeol recognised him as Baekhyun from his classes.

"Hey?" Confused, Chanyeol replied, looking down at the smaller, who was now linking arms with his.

"I was wondering if you wanted to maybe hangout after school or something?" Baekhyun smiled up at him, his eyes crinkling, making him almost irresistible.

"I can't... I-I have a game afterschool... But you can watch if you want?" The taller frowned. Why did he stutter?

"Then can we go out...?"

'Oh fuck dont pout... Dont pout dont pout don-- he's pouting!...' Chanyeol was going out of his mind as he stared at Baekhyun, who was pouting cutely at him.

Dumbly, he nodded his head, watching as Baekhyun smiles and runs off.

"I-I'll see you later then?"
