First Love | EXO Fanfiction (#Wattys2016)

Chapter 4

I shouldn't be doing this. I shouldn't be doing this. Mina repeated the same words in a mantra as she stood outside of Baekhyun's apartment complex. In the days leading up to this, she tried to get him to agree to visit a café or a restaurant, but he insisted he'd get spotted and he didn't want to put her in danger.

It's dangerous enough going in here knowing I still have feelings for him. She sucked in air as she entered the building, pulling her phone out of her purse to read the last text he sent with the room number. She took the elevator up, found his room, and took in another deep breath to calm her nerves before knocking on the door. Before she knew it, a familiar pair of brown eyes were meeting hers.

"Hey..." His lips curved into a shy smile as he opened the door all the way, inviting her inside.

"Hey. How are you?"

"Fine, but long day..." He sighed. "But it's better now that you're here." He closed the door behind them. "How are you?"

"Fine, but I had a long day as well." She smiled before looking around his place. For someone that's so rich this place is very ordinary. But Baekhyun always liked simple things.

"Well, we can relax now." He plopped down on the sofa, patting the cushion beside him.

Mina joined him, feeling like they were lovers once again, but she quickly erased those thoughts when Sehun came to mind. You're just here to talk, not screw him. Relax.

"So... what did you want to talk about?" she asked, feeling her heart race as Baekhyun's eyes roved her body, his lack of subtlety nerve-wracking.

"I just wanted to catch up, honestly. It's been... five... no six years?" He bit his lip, prolonging his stare at her legs before meeting her eyes. "It's been too long, Mina."

"It has been." She cleared her throat, finding his gaze to be nearly smoldering. "I'm... I'm sorry I didn't stay in contact with you-"

"No, I understand. Stuff happens." He shrugged, his blue button up shirt slightly sliding off of his shoulder. It was then that she realized he was dressed up more than usual.

When did he start dressing so... amazing? She tried not to stare at his partially exposed chest, his collarbones, or the way his thighs looked in his black slacks. Is this on purpose, or is this just what he wears around the house? No, this is on purpose.

"Do you like what you see or something?" He teased, the smirk on his face more arousing than Mina remembered.

"No... I mean..." She began blushing, and he laughed quietly at how flustered he could get her.

"You're still the same." He crossed his arms over his chest. "So, what's new with you? How has my Mimi grown up?"

"Baekhyun, please." She frowned, but she enjoyed his attention. "I'm a culinary artist," she said, her voice barely audible.

"Woah, so you finally reached your dreams... I remember you used to burn food all the time when we were together- OUCH! Hey!"

"I always made you delicious food!" She playfully snapped at him as she hit his arm just enough to hurt.

"I'm joking!" He swatted her hand away and grabbed her wrist. Both of their cheeks flushed pink. Baekhyun pulled away first and cleared his throat.
