Byun Baekhyun has a huge crush on Kim Taeyeon, a senior in the same school he's attending. He doesn't know how to approach her, so he asks help from Nam Hyora. She agrees to help him, only to regret her decision a bit too late.

Perhaps offering to let Hyora hang out at his house wasn't much of a great idea.
As soon as they went upstairs, she took off her shoes and glided down the hallway in her yellow gudetama socks with Baekhyun following (panicking) behind her.
"Be careful! You might bump into a vase or something!" he hollered, almost running out of breath as he tried to catch her while carrying all their shopping bags.
She snickered and stopped in front of him.
"Does hanging out with you mean I have to have high stamina?" he told her in between deep intakes of breath. "Because if yes, then let's not be friends anymore."
She rolled her eyes at him before taking half of the bags from him. "Don't be such a baby! Come on, where's your room?"
He walked past her and opened a plain white door. Hyora followed in after him, letting her eyes curiously wander around his room.
It wasn't messy as she imagined in her head, but it definitely wasn't that pleasing in the eyes either. There was just a huge white bed in the center of the farthest wall, a red bean bag in front of Baekhyun's flatscreen television equipped with a playstation, and a desk scattered with notebooks and a white laptop. His shelves had a bunch of books in them and several framed pictures of his family and friends. Not even a bit of decoration was found; clearly he was more of a practical kind of guy rather than one to obsess about his room's aesthetics.
She dropped the shopping bags on the floor and ran to the bed, plopping down on her back without even bothering to ask permission. She giggled when she bounced slightly on the mattress. Sitting up, she watched as Baekhyun quietly arranged the bags near the television.
"Come here, loser," she said, grinning from ear to ear as she patted the space next to her. "Oh, and bring the bag with all the cosmetics!"
Baekhyun gulped and removed any unwanted thoughts flowing into his mind.
He took the Nature Republic paper bag before walking to the bed and silently sitting on the edge of it, making sure there was enough space between them. Hyora grabbed the paper bag and tore it open, fishing out a few products that Baekhyun wasn't familiar with.
"Your skin looks kind of dry, so you should use this moisturizer," she said as she handed him a facial cream. "Use this everyday, when you wake up for a morning wash and before you go to sleep. Remember to wash your face first before applying them. Get it, loser?"
He nodded. "Got it."
Hyora introduced several more products to him. He wanted her to stop, especially when she brought out lipstick. He quickly palmed his lips with both hands, his eyes widening in fear as he watched her take the lid off.
"You're going to use lipstick on me?!" he yelled, his voice muffled.
"It's just tinted lip balm!" she snapped, pulling his hands away from his face. "You use this when your lips are chapped."
