A Second Chance

Chapter 5

Baekhyun brought Sehun's shirt to his face before tossing it into the wash. It still carried his wonderful scent. He clutched onto it tightly, wishing he never had to give it back. He was starting to lose confidence, Sehun seemed so focused on the idea that Baekhyun was an adult, he wondered if Sehun would ever let it go.

Reluctantly, Baekhyun released the shirt and watched it drop down into the machine. It was laying on top of some of Baekhyun's own laundry. Sehun's shirt was so much larger than Baekhyun's, it made it obvious this load was mixed between two people. Mixed between him and Sehun.

He stared at it for a long moment before closing the door and starting it. As soon as the second machine went off indicating it was dry, Baekhyun ironed the shirt carefully, spending an extra amount of time getting out every crease. Once he finally stopped himself from meticulously ironing it, he brought it over to his bed to fold it. As if his folding was going to be judged like a piece of art, he used the precision of an origami master.

He imagined how wonderful it would be to do all of Sehun's laundry, folding it along with his own as they sat and watched TV together, laughing and smiling with each other at whatever show they were currently into. It was so simple, and yet it was so appealing to Baekhyun.

With a sigh he picked up the folded shirt and placed it on top of his dresser. He slowly patted it down with his hands to smooth out the fabric as he thought to himself.

How in the world do you start making a move on a young teenage boy?

Even if it was a normal relationship, Baekhyun didn't have any experience in love. He had no idea what to do.

He did realize that he needed to go slowly, this was a very touchy situation. However, he couldn't wait around forever, this was the whole reason he became young again after all.

After much thought, Baekhyun decided it might be a good idea to look up some advice.

He laid down on his bed and took out his phone, going to the internet to type in the words: "How to flirt with a younger man."

"So you're attracted to a younger man? Well you're not alone! We all know men enjoy dating younger women, but occasionally women like to date younger guys!"

Baekhyun let out a small laugh, those words didn't exactly comfort him into feeling less alone.

"Here are some tips on embracing your cougar side and going after that younger man!

The number one reason a guy is going to be interested in you compared to younger women is your past experience. Someone who knows their way around the bedroom is definitely alluring to a young man, especially those who want to boost their own experience."

Baekhyun sighed and skipped down the page to find some different advice.

"The biggest fear of dating an older women is getting nagged by them, the last thing you want to do is remind him of his mother. Basically avoid any habits that will remind him of that, especially offering to do chores for him like laundry and other housework."

Baekhyun dropped the phone and let out a sound of displeasure. It had only been a few days and Baekhyun was already a huge failure!! How was he ever going to get this to work?

Baekhyun spotted Sehun listening to his ear buds and dancing again as he made his way to school. After watching for a brief moment, Baekhyun approached him and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Good morning hyung."

Sehun turned to look at him and took out his ear buds smiling, "Good morning hyung."
