"I guess everything turned out okay?"

Your cheeks automatically turned red as you took a sip of the iced coffee Somi has made for you. It was Saturday, the day of the last football game for this term. You dropped by the cafe by lunch before you'd go watch the team's practice. You instantly craved for coffee as soon as you got inside, so here you are by the bar, sipping on some iced one.

Jisoo had a smirk on her lips while Somi just giggled by the side, anticipating your story. You'd been chatting with them recently about your experiences (not the smexy one 'coz that's embarrassing), but with how you're approaching the new feelings you've encountered. They knew so much more than you, even Somi who was 2 years younger than you.

"Hmm. We've talked about our concerns without any trouble. Baekhyun's been very understanding that I feel like I don't deserve it." You looked down at your hand that's holding the glass while slowly twirling the beverage with your straw. "I'm just... kind of unsure if I'm doing enough to reflect his kindness. You know that I'm very new with romantic relationships, and he's very much experienced."

You frowned as you realized that your man has been with so many girls that's why he's so damn smooth and used to wooing a woman. You scoffed at the thought, not knowing that you're being an entertainment for your two friends in front of you. Your lips pouted as you sipped again on your drink.

"Well, your man was very well-known among girls. You can't change that fact, but you're the one he wants now, right? I know he must be walking on eggshells since the day he figured he likes you." Jisoo chuckled as she leaned on the counter in front of you. "He needed to slow down his pace to make you more comfortable and let you take the wheel however you like."

"I don't think that oppa is thinking of anything in return. He's being kind because he loves you and he wants to be considerate of your feelings." Somi butted in as she nodded to herself. "Since he's much more experienced when it comes to intimate relationships, he didn't want to shock you or force you to do whatever he's done with his past relationships. That's because you're different."

"That's why you don't need to think too much about it. Take your time to warm up to his advances. As you've said, he's quite considerate with your feelings. I'm sure all he wants is for you to be comfortable and be at your own pace." Jisoo smiled, patting your cheek affectionately. You let out a sigh as you nodded.

"I get that, unnie, Somi-ah. Thank you for saying those things." You said while giving them a grin. Somi saluted before continuing with her tasks. Jisoo stayed by the cashier area near you. "I want to repay Baekhyun's affection too. He's not hesitant when he shows that he cares about me, or when he wants something. I want to be like that too. I want to make him happy."

"Oh god, I think you're giving him so much already, Saejin-ah." Jisoo laughed as she shook her head, making you tilt your own in wonder. With your eyebrows knitting, the older woman squealed in delight. "Oh my, you just haven't seen how he looks at you when you're in his sight. Even if you just stand in front of him without doing anything, he'll kneel down and drool like a hungry dog, wagging his tail."

"W-What? D-Drool? Dog? Wagging his tail?" You blushed as you imagined Baekhyun as a dog. Kneeling with a damn collar on his pretty neck— "W-Why would he be kneeling—"

"Aish, you're thinking too much. Just enjoy your time with him, get to know more about him, laugh with him, kiss and make out, and all those sweet things you could do together!" Jisoo flailed her arms as if telling you to let your worries go. She smiled.

"Your time is too precious to be spent on such worries and hesitations. What matters is that you're happy, and you're growing with him. Don't rush."
