The other night was absolutely epic. I finally confessed my feelings to the woman with whom I've had feelings for a long time, but just as she was about to tell me something, Heechul hyung appeared at her apartment to say hello, and the three of us ended up spending dinner time at her place.

Taeyeon and I never had another chance to talk after that dinner, which left me wondering what she was going to say, but at least she realized I liked her. Baekhyun, you did well!

I can't stop smiling to myself. I can't wait to see her again and have a proper conversation with her. Of course, I'd like to ask her out and receive an official response from her. Is she going to accept? Hopefully.

“Looks like our Baekhyun here is in a good mood, huh?” Xiumin nudged me, wiggling his brows.

“Of course he is,” Suho added, handing me a water bottle because we had just finished performing. “Have you already asked Taeyeon out?”

“You did, didn't you? I'm so proud of you, Baekhyunnie!” Xiumin squeezed my shoulder and shook it.

I frown as I abruptly shake my head. “I did… I guess? I never got a chance to hear what she has to say, but I kinda tell her that I have feelings for her, which, I think, is good, right? I'm moving slowly until I'm sure what she really feels toward me.”

“Yeah, you're finally doing what you should've done three years ago,” Xiumin said, patting my back.

“Hey, three years ago wasn't the right time for that, I was just a trainee back then, and she's already an idol,” I reasoned back because it's true, what could a trainee like me possibly offer her?

“Nice, Baekhyun,” Luhan said as we both fist bumped each other.

Kyungsoo nodded approvingly, and asked, “How did it happen?”

“Well… let's start when I nervously went to her apartment, so I decided to practice my speech or think what to say when she's already in front of me, 'cause I always felt shy when she's around, right?” I began, glancing over at the people who were listening to my epic confession story before continuing. “As a result, I blurted out everything without realizing she was already behind me.”

“How did she react? What was her response to you? “

“She teased me about how I confessed my feelings, and that's when I found out she went to Baskin Robbins with Heechul hyung.”

“Did you not ask her out?” Chen asked.

“I believe I did, but I didn't receive an official response, and she was about to tell me something when Heechul hyung appeared out of nowhere,” I sadly smiled at them.

“Well, what are you waiting for? Ask her right now,” Sehun suggested, as if it were the easiest thing to do.

“But be careful, there are cameras everywhere,” Suho cautioned.

I was about to say something about it when my phone began to vibrate. Taeyeon! So, I excused myself and went into the restroom to respond to the phone call. I was excited to answer her call for some reason, but my excitement quickly turned to concern when she wasn't the one who dialed.

“Taeyeon—”

“Baekhyunnie?” Yoona asked, her voice small and panicked.

“Yoona? Is everything all right? Where's Taeyeon?” I asked quickly before realizing I hadn't called Taeyeon “noona”. She cut me off just as I was about to say something.

“I apologize for calling you so suddenly, but Taeyeon is sick, and you're the only person I know who won't hesitate to come to her apartment…”

“I'm on my way,” I said before I could even think about it.
