Shitty Blind Dates (Chanbaek/Baekyeol)

Just Friends

"I'm so glad that we could meet up." Baekhyun grinned and took a sip of his coffee.

"Well, you did throw up on my shoes. A nice coffee is the least you can do." I joked and snickered when I saw his shocked face. His cute, brown eyes widened and he sat down his cup on the table.

Baekhyun looked good. He was wearing a yellow hoodie and some black jeans. Some nice, tight-fitting jeans who made his ass look terrific. Not that I've checked.

"You know, I was very nervous. I woke up with no shoes and a broken suit. I honestly don't remember anything before we went into the taxi." He admitted.

I frowned.

He blushed and took a deep breath.
"I know that I'm the cause of-" he paused and looked quickly at my neck. "those marks... And I want to apologise for my behavior."

I laughed and just shook my head.  

"It's okay. You were pretty drunk, after all."

The weird, empty feeling was back in my stomach.

He smiled relieved at me and I felt my heart flutter.
"You seem like a really great guy Chanyeol"
I couldn't breathe.
"I would be happy to be friends with you." He said and gave me a small, shy smile.
My breath hitched and my heart felt so heavy.
Friends.
He wanted to be friends.

"Sure, Baekhyun" I said and forced a smile. It didn't seem like he noticed anything wrong. He laughed and then took another sip of his coffee.

I did the same and looked over at the couple who sat in the other part of the cafe.
They were cuddling and he kissed her lips tenderly.

If only my visit to the cafe had gone that well...

"When's the wedding?"

I sighed and put on my apron.
"Seriously Kyungsoo, what the hell has Sehun told you?"

Kyungsoo rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.
"You went on a date the other day. With Mr.Scoreboard."

I groaned.
"Please, just don't call him that." I closed my locker and Kyungsoo followed me into the kitchen.

"Oh, so we are using first names already?"

"I just don't think it's very nice to call him that. We should get rid of the whole Scoreboard." I mumbled and Kyungsoo stared at me.

"What? Get rid of it? Get rid of my beautiful work of art? Seriously Chanyeol? " He gasped and I didn't dare to meet his eyes.

"Well we talked yesterday, and he actually doesn't have a choice about his dates."

"Oh? That sounds ridiculous." he said and leaned over the counter.

"Well his grandmother is sick, and she want him to take over the company. But she wants him to have someone special in his life before he takes over. Someone who can take care of him and love him. Therefore, has his mother set him up on these dates."

Kyungsoo's eyes went wide and I nodded in agreement.

"So, no lover equals no company."

"Yup."

I couldn't imagine myself in Baekhyuns position. 

All he had worked for these last years would go to waste, if he stayed single.

Baekhyun had seemed so ashamed to tell me. He thought it was unfair, but he was also the type who would do anything for his grandmother. 

 He had spent a lot of his childhood at her old house. His mother, as every other business women, had been rarely home and he found comfort in his kind grandmother.
