"How did I fall for you this much?

I don't even know

Why are you lingering around me?

Whatever you do, I notice

Whatever I do, I'm curious about you"

<>Baekhyun POV<>

The next day, Baekhyun was dragged out of his deep slumber by the smell of bacon. He sat up groggily, for a second completely forgetting where he was before seeing Chanyeol's shirtless form standing in front of a small stove in the kitchenette of the loft. He rubbed his eyes and stretched upwards, and when he looked over again Chanyeol was facing him.

"Good morning, sleeping beauty" Chanyeol baritone voice rang through the air.

Baekhyun felt heat rising to his cheeks and quickly climbed out of bed to hide his face from the giant's deep brown eyes. He hastily grabbed a black t-shirt, jean shorts, and his toothbrush from his unpacked bags before scuttling hastily across the floor to the bathroom. As soon as he was in the bathroom he locked the door, sighing at his reflection in the mirror.

Sleeping beauty? Is he saying I'm beautiful? Or was he just joking around? God why do I even care what he meant, what is wrong with me! Get it together Baek.

Baekhyun buried his face in his hands, slapping his cheeks a few times before changing into his new outfit and brushing his teeth. He tried unsuccessfully to make his hair look presentable, giving up after a minute and taking a deep breath before heading back out to the loft.

"Bon Appetite," Chanyeol sing-songed before setting two plates of food on a small table next to the kitchenette. Baekhyun was practically drooling at the smell of the food before him, so he sat down quickly and began to eat. As he was shoveling a piece of bacon into his mouth, he glanced up to see Chanyeol smiling at him from across the table. Baekhyun felt that familiar heat rising to his cheeks and he quickly looked back down at his plate, garnering a melodic chuckle from the taller boy.

Why is he looking at me?

"So... what are we doing today" Baekhyun stuttered to break the long silence.

"I was thinking of taking you to one of my favorite spots on the farm."

"Ok... where is it?"

"That's a secret."

"Can't you just tell me?" Baekhyun pouted. He hated surprises.

The corner of Chanyeol's lip turned up into a smirk at the younger boy's petulance.

"You'll find out when you get there."

"Fine." Baekhyun huffed before getting up to clean his plate.

"Let me." Chanyeol came up behind him and tried to take the plate from Baekhyun's hand.

"I am perfectly capable of cleaning a plate, thanks." Baekhyun fired back, stalking towards the sink.

Baekhyun gasped as he was spun around and pushed against the edge of the metal sink, looking up into Chanyeol's eyes with shock. Chanyeol leaned in close to Baekhyun's face, eyes sparkling with mischief as he stretched his hand behind Baekhyun's body towards his hand, which was currently braced against the edge of the sink. Before the shorter male had time to react, the plate was snatched from his hand and Chanyeol moved backwards, smiling in triumph.
