Adele was finally done around 6pm, and looked up what time it was in Korea. Almost 7 AM. She figured Gyu was probably still sleeping, so she drove home, bringing some leftovers from work to have for dinner. She ate, surprised to find herself highly anticipating his text to her.

Beomgyu woke up, immediately turning to his phone.

'Hey sweetheart,' he messaged. He wondered if he was being a bit too flirty, but she was typically flirty back, so he wasn't really worried.

Adele texted him back immediately. 'Morning, hottie. How'd you sleep?'

Beomgyu blushed slightly. He had no idea why he had that reaction, he barely even knew her.

'Good. Would've been better if you were next to me ;)'

Beomgyu didn't know whether or not that was too much, but sent it anyways. She sent back a wide-eyed blushing emoji.

'That was smooth.'

Beomgyu smiled to himself.

She sent another text.

'And kinda hot.'

He smiled even more.

'Just like you, love.'

'That's my name for you!'

Beomgyu almost laughed out loud at that.

'I thought you called me handsome. Or hottie.'

'And love! Sorry babe.'

Beomgyu smiled. 'If you get babe, I get love.'

'*sigh* okay fine. You win. You get to call me love.'

He smiled again. 'So, how was work?'

Adele launched into a rant about one random coworker that annoyed her.

When she finally finished, she said. 'Sorry, you didn't need to know that. I was probably boring you.'

'You could never bore me, sweetheart.'

Beomgyu was being truthful, she intrigued him too much to make him bored.

After about a minute of silence, she texted him back. 'Sorry I went silent there for a moment, had to deal with something. I'm here now if you're still here.'

He smiled again. How stupid he must look, cheeks red, staring at his phone while laying down in bed.

'I'm always here, gorgeous.'

'That's kinda hot,' she sent back.

Beomgyu blushed a bit. 'I know.'

'😳'

'Anyways, what do you do for work?' She asked.

Beomgyu panicked a little bit. He couldn't tell her the truth, just like how he couldn't send her a photo of him, or tell her his real name.

'Well, I enjoy singing, but I haven't made it my job, I work as a barista at a coffee place.'

He was satisfied with this lie, and got dressed, sitting back down to read her response.

'I like singing too, but I don't think I'm very good at it. Can you send me a recording of you singing? It's okay if you don't want to, I'm really fine either way.'

Beomgyu mentally weighed this. He decided to send her a recording, singing a bit higher than he usually does and pronouncing his vowels differently.

He sang Red Lights by Stray Kids, hoping the song choice would be flirty enough without making her uncomfortable.

Adele was really pretty, he couldn't think straight. He could barely believe that that was the face of the person he was texting.

Beomgyu sent it, walking out of his room to get breakfast with the other members.

He was smiling like an idiot the whole time, so much so that Yeonjun asked him what he was thinking about. Beomgyu blushed slightly. "Oh nothing, just a video I watched that made me laugh."

Yeonjun looked skeptical at his response, but didn't press further, and Beomgyu was grateful for that.

As they drove to the company, he stole a quick glance at his phone. He was flooded with messages from Adele telling him how pretty his voice was.

Beomgyu smiled. 'Thank you so much, love. It means a lot.'

Throughout the workday he found little breaks to text her, he himself was surprised by how much he wanted to see her name pop up on the screen.

He was so distracted by her that he didn't realize what time it was. Suddenly he realized it was 2 PM where he was, meaning that it was one in the morning for her.

Beomgyu's eyes widened when he realized.

'Love, I hate to stop the conversation here, but you need to go to sleep. It's too late!'

'*sigh* okay, then, hottie. Good night, I'll be dreaming of you~'

Beomgyu blushed slightly, smiling to himself.

'Goodnight gorgeous.'

A few moments later, his phone lit up with a new message, this time an image. It was of her, lying in bed with the blanket pulled over her. He was convinced that she was topless, until she sent another, this time showing the straps of her tank top.

His eyes went wide once more, her bare shoulders and collar bones were doing something to him. He had to be careful, he couldn't look at the photo much longer or else he be endlessly teased by the others for getting all excited.

Beomgyu sent a response, using a pet name he hadn't tried yet. 'Babygirl, you can't do that while I'm at work. Now, go to sleep, it's too late.'

Adele sent a blushing emoji in response.

'That's kinda hot- YOU KNOW WHAT, GOODNIGHT.'

He smiled. 'Good night, for real.'

Let's just say he wasn't very focused for the rest of the work day.

A/N- sorry for the late update! I hope the slightly dirty part made up for it, there'll be more later >:)
