What If... [EXO Suho and Apink Eunji Fanfiction]

Chapter 16

A chill had set in the air, signalling that winter was on its way.

Already the people had been stocking up on winter clothing and going all out on buying hats. The people on the street had begun to wear coats along with their daily outfits, signalling the coming of a season, especially the festive season.

Him? He was one of those who tried not to go outside.

Luckily, with their new comeback on its way, they were spending increasing amounts of time in the studio or practice rooms, preparing endlessly. 

He didn't mind. At least he wasn't out in the cold.

He was currently in the practice room by himself as his dance partners (Jongin and Sehun) had decided that they were tired and wanted to take a break and hence left the room. He however, was unable to get the dance they were doing and he wouldn't stop until he had gotten it down pat.

Baekhyun suddenly came into the room and Junmyeon paused his practice. Baekhyun sheepishly bowed his head and walked over. "Sorry, hyung, I hope I'm not intruding."

He shook his head. "No, not at all," he said, grabbing a bottle of water. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing at all," Baekhyun said. "It's just...I was wondering whether you had any plans tomorrow?"

Junmyeon paused to think. "I'm meeting up with Eunji, does that count?" 

"Actually, that's perfect," Baekhyun smiled. "Taeyeon's been wanting to meet you two for a while now, so I was hoping we could all meet up tomorrow. What were you going to do anyway?"

He actually didn't know. "I was just going to take her for a movie or something."

Baekhyun looked at him. "You don't know what to do, do you?"

Junmyeon shook his head. "Nope."

"Then just bring her along," Baekhyun suggested. "Taeyeon and I were going to get a bite to eat at that All You Can Eat Buffet in that barbecue restaurant. You guys can join us too. It'll be fun, I promise."

Junmyeon thought about it for a moment and then nodded. "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea."

Baekhyun grinned widely. "That's great!"

The following evening had Junmyeon and Baekhyun riding up to the restaurant together. After a call the previous night to confirm the plan, Eunji had agreed to meet up with them inside, as Taeyeon would be getting them a seat.

They walked into the restaurant, taking a moment at the door to smell the gorgeous smell of Korean barbecue, and then went in to find their girlfriends.

The two girls were at the table, chatting and laughing whole-heartedly when the two men walked in. Eunji spotted them and smiled. "Speak of the devils, here they come," she said.

"Devils?" Junmyeon asked. "Were the two of you gossiping about us?"

"It would be a lie if I said no," Eunji chuckled.

Taeyeon got up greet Baekhyun with a light hug before the black haired man slid into the booth next to her. Junmyeon playfully pushed Eunji with his hip before the girl shifted a bit to allow him to sit beside her.

"Now, before we do anything else," Baekhyun said. "Did you girls order anything?"

Eunji pointed to the line of great smelling dishes. "Food is over there. Do you want to order or get the buffet?"

Baekhyun shared a look with Junmyeon. "We came specifically for the buffet." 

"Then let's go," Taeyeon said, making to get up. "I don't know about you, but I'm starving. We can talk after we get some food."
