Could it be him?

Yah, Baekhyun!

"Yah! Baekhyun!" I scream.

How dare that asshole decides to barge into my house like this for the fifth time. Just because he's the landowner's son, it doesn't mean he has the right to do this.

Yes, this isn't exactly "my" house cos I'm just a tenant and the owner lives in Incheon, farming.

Looking at Baekhyun's startled expression I scratch the nape of my neck and apologize. Falling for his pity party he flashes a wide smile and sits on the couch relaxingly.

With a straight face I repeat, "Baekhyun please get out. It's not like I don't pay the rent or anything. And look I get it that your dad is mad at you for dropping out of college and you have no place to live and you want to pursue acting and you want to live here-"

"Umm and a small correction, it's not 'I want to live here' it's 'I will live here' and I get it that you're mocking me cos I use 'and' a lot."

Yes, he's right. But no way I'm moving out just to let this kiddo live here. Seoul is super fucking expensive.

All the five times he had come here earlier, he would pleade me to death and even shed crocodile tears just to convince-

"BAEKHYUN DONT YOU DARE TOUCH MY PURSE!"

Before I could smack his head, twist his throat, and throw him out, he empties my purse and stares wide-eyed at something.

"A c-c-condom?!?!"

"No. It's not that. It's a circle-shaped candy! Just put it down and leave my house."

Just then the doorbell rings.

"Oh, really? It's a candy? Ok then let's open it. I'm hungry," Baekhyun says with a smirk. I try chasing him but that asshole is just a little too fast.

Hearing the doorbell ring again, he storms past me and opens the door. with. the. condom. packet. in. his. hand.

"Your cheese sandwich with extra cheese, sir. And that will be a total of-"

"Hold up. I didn't order anything. And Kyung Soo why is it that you always have something to do with me and food?"

Kyung Soo coughs loudly and gives a what-the-fuck face (his usual face). Shoving the brown bag into my hands, he speaks, "Kim Suho ordered this online to this address and considering the fact that I work in the cafe you always come to... I guess I 'always have something to do with' your food... unfortunately. "

"Ok but I didn't order it so-"

"It is a condom!" Baekhyun screams, holding the open condom.

Kyung Soo gives me a disgusted look and chuckles in disbelief. I facepalm and try explaining that it isn't what it seems. And I would never have sex with someone so young. Shaking his head, he walks away half gagging and half judging the fuck out of me.

Ok time to kill someone. Baek fucking Hyun, you are so dead today.

Giggling, Baekhyun shuts the door and plops back into the couch, tossing the condom into the dustbin. He then looks at me and gestures me to sit beside him.

"What's with your expression, noona? If it's about that creepy cafe guy then don't worry it didn't look like he was interested in you. And if it's about the money then don't worry he'll prolly charge you double the amount tomorrow. And if it's about the.... condom then I can buy one for you!"

And how exactly do murders get punished? No, I was just thinking of murdering him and soaking his body in a tub of acid and ok I need to stop talking like him.

Keeping my cool, I sit on the floor facing him and fold my hands against my chest. Signaling him to go ahead, I close my eyes and lean forward.

"Ok so I was thinking if we could.... ok see I know that you ain't gonna move out and I need to find a part-time job first cos I don't have the money to stay somewhere else. So I was thinking if we could...."

"Just spit it out already. It's not like you're going to-"

"It's exactly that. I'll let you live with me...here."

I open my eyes and glare at him. Searching for my house slippers to slap him with, I grab a sock and throw it at him. What does this asshole think he's doing! First, he decides to barge in and now he wants to live with me. Ok, wait maybe he's joking.

Looking at his petrified eyes, I scratch the back of my neck again and apologize. Something's definitely off with me today.

"Look, I get it that I'm a handsome man and you're a beautiful woman and we are young, and the fact that you had a condom in your purse-"

"WAIT!" I scream and look at the clock. Cursing, I run to the washroom and quickly take a shower. Mrs. Ching is definitely going to sue me even if I'm 0.0452 seconds late.

-

Grabbing a used coffee cup from the dustbin, I hide my purse behind my back and walk in, whistling. Looking at Mrs. Ching stare at me, I chuckle loudly and say, "haha, I was the first one to arrive so I stepped out a bit for a cup of coffee!"

She just nods and continues talking to the new intern. Ha, I knew it! It's like the hundred and eighth time she's falling for this trick. I wish I used this part of my brain to get a proper job. Although Xiumin debuted a year ago, Mrs. Ching still makes me do trivial things- like editing posters and pictures, not music videos.

I frown at her and fake drink my fake coffee.

"...yeah, so hand this document to the marketing team and tell them to review my proposal...." she says to the intern.

Running out of my desk, like my life depended upon this, I oh-so-sweetly snatch the document and scream, running out of breath, "I WILL DO IT. I WILL GO TO THE MARKETING TEAM."

-

Entering the marketing department, I take baby steps as my eyes search in all directions for Chen. Unable to find him, I hang my head low and hand the document to the team leader disinterestedly, not giving a shit about his comments.

Sighing loudly, I lift my head and search for him, one last time. Feeling a warm grip around my wrist, I get pulled into the snack room.

My face lights up, seeing Chen. Looking at how he was trying to hide his smile, I could easily tell that he was as exhilarated as I was.

Chuckling with my hands behind my back, I take a step closer and look into his eyes. With a pout, I tilt my head and ask, "can I kiss you?"

Standing on his toes, he says with a smirk, "I don't know. Can you?"

Holding back my laughter, I reply with a conceited look, "nope, bye."

His smile fades and holds my hand, stopping me, and mouths, 'babe, no!'. Pulling me closer he leaves a peck on my cheek.

-

Sitting back on my rolling chair, I smile widely and tap my feet contentedly, still not over about what happened in the snack room. Even though all this seemed so unrealistic and ominous, I couldn't care less.

For all I know, I love Chen.
