"I like this dress on you. It suited you better than the previous clothes." Crush complimented me between the scenes.

I laughed. "You think so too?"

"Well, I can see you are comfortable with this one, noona."

Yep, that dress I used for the first shot wasn't my taste of fashion but it matched with the themes so I couldn't say no to my stylist.

I shyly ran my hand through my hair while my eyes ran to the other side in the room. I gasped, almost forgetting he was here.

Baekhyun was standing in the corner of the room as I filmed the scenes with Crush. I could feel his cold stare right here. But, I ignored it. He shouldn't be here in the first place. So, enjoy yourself with jealousy, boy.

"And it fits your hairstyles." Crush continued.

I laughed softly, tucking my hair back while I glanced at Baekhyun. "A lot of my fans hate my short hair." I know I shouldn't be flirting with him, Crush approached my junior labelmate—Joy, but Baekhyun doesn't need to know that. Right?

"Your short hair makes you ten times younger, noona."

"Stop praising me. You actually are good yourself." He really was. The black suit really sets the game up.

"I'm glad noona doesn't think my outfits are too much." Crush said with a small voice that was filled with happiness.

I smiled genuinely for the thousandth time today. I'm happy that the chemistry between me and Crush fills the studio with a sense of humor and makes us enjoy filming. I really had fun filming with Crush. He has the same playful character as the man I know in this room. But, that was yearsss ago.

I stared at my reflection in the mirror. We had finished the shooting an hour ago. Wiping off my makeup, I could feel him intensely staring at me.

It was just Baekhyun and I in the dressing room. Some of the staff had already gone to the after party. I'm sure my manager left me with him too.

Oh, Baekhyun was invited too which didn't surprise me. Suddenly I felt my phone buzzing on my dressing table.. I turned it off immediately.

"Who's calling you?"

"No one."

"Is that a tough question for you?"

"Don't ask something if you aren't ready with the answer."

He smirked. "Why do you treat me this way, Taengoo?"

Taengoo. He used to call me like that when we were still together.

"I don't remember I have to be nice to you."

"I am your hoobae after all."

"Then act like one."

Baekhyun was silent for a moment and then he stood up. He walked towards me and took the cottons from my hands.

"What are you doing?!"

"You are taking so long. I am starving and they are waiting for us."

"Then eat. No one forced you to be here."

"I want to eat with you. So let's go." He threw the used cottons on the trash can beside me.

"You can see I'm not done yet."

"You did it on purpose to piss me off. You knew damn well I was starving while waiting for you for almost 5 hours." He stared at me with a puppy-looking face.
