Psycho - 백현

Chapter 21

"Yah Areum-ssi!" Someone yelled to you.
You looked around to see who was calling you. A few days passed since you're out of the hospital. Your wrist is doing fine, but when you're practicing it still hurts a little.
When you're home, you're not that afraid anymore. Most of the time, Baekhyun is there. Your home is half of the time also his home. Not that you care. You love it when he's nearby.
You feel save with him.

"Over here!" That person yelled.
You turned your head towards him and smiled when you saw who it was. Chen.
You walked towards him and waved.
"Annyeonghaseyo Chen." You bowed.
Chen laughed. "Why are you so formal?"
You shrug your schoulders and smiled.
"You're still my senior." You said.
"Woah... That's sound like I'm very old."
You both started to laugh.

"So... What are you doing here Chen-oppa?"
You asked him. "What do you think? I work here." He laughed. Funny, as always.
"Ah no... That's not what I meant. You don't have practise now, right?" You smiled.
"No, I'm working on my solo. I need to record it in about...." He looked on his watch and his eyes widened. "In about 5 minutes, so I need to go. Time goes fast. Annyeong!" He smiled and waved before leaving to the recording room.
"Neh, annyeong." You said back and smiled.
When he was gone, you looked outside.
"Strange... Where is he?" You mumbled.
Baek said he would come pick you up after your practice, but he wasn't there.
You looked at your phone and saw a message from him.

I'm gonna be late
Let's meet in the bubble tea cafe

You smiled and texted back. Since your practice just ended, you were quite thirsty so you were happy he wants to meet there.
You walked out of SM to the famous bubble tea cafe. Sehun must be jealous if he knows you're here. He loves Bubble Tea.
You came into the small cafe and ordered your favorite bubble tea: Classic milk bubble tea with tapioca pearls. You couldn't wait to taste it, so when you got it, you thanked the person who worked there and took a sip right away.
It was delicious, like always. The cooked pearls on their own are chewy but relatively flavorless. They become much sweeter after being soaked in simple syrup, but the real flavor comes from the drink itself, the pearls are more there for texture.

As you were enjoying your Bubble Tea, Baekhyun came in. You looked at his cool appearance and felt your heart getting a heart attack. How can he be so cool?
When you had eyecontact, the butterflies went back to your stomach. He smiled at you and came to your table. He sat down and ordered popcorn tea. He loves to try new flavors.
"I'm sorry I'm late, but someone I know bumped into me and we talked for a while." He apologized and continued: "What do you think of my new hair color?" He asked proud.
You looked at him. His new haircolor really suits him.
"It looks really good on you." You answered while taking another sip of your bubble tea.
While drinking, your eyes met his and he smirked. "Am I more handsome than before?"

Your eyes went down and your cheeks were getting hot. Again.
"I-It's the same." You answered stuttering.
You honestly don't have any idea if he's more handsome than before. Everything looks good on him. "The same?" He said in shook. His eyes widened, he almost couldn't believe it.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? I mean... This color suit me as the best right? There's no one handsomer with it than me, for sure. You probably have dust in your eyes. You want me to blow it away?" He said.
You rolled your eyes and sighed. This childish man... "Stop making a scene and drink your bubble tea." You said smiling, making eye contact. Baekhyun smirked and took a sip, not losing the eye contact. He's very cute and attractive while doing that.

"So what happened today?" He asked.
You thought about your day. "Nothing special, just the usual." You answered, but remembered something. "Ah... I saw Chen-oppa. He's recording a solo. You should do too." You said.
Baekhyun looked at you and raised an eyebrow. "D-Did you... Just call him oppa?"
You simply nodded and Baekhyun went crazy.
"B-but... Why?" There was a look in his eyes you couldn't translate.
"How should I call him? He's older than me." You responded, not knowing if Baekhyun was acting childish again or not.
"B-But... You can't call him oppa. You can only call me that." He said confident.
You glared at him. "Why don't you call me noona?" You said, creating a genius plan in your mind. Baekhyun blinked with his eyes.
"N-Noona? But you're younger than me."
You laughed. "You really think? You're 5-years or something like that. Everyone thinks I'm older. You should call me noona."

Baekhyun was speechless. This was the first time he couldn't respond, but it wasn't for long. "I'll call you noona if you call me oppa."
You shook your head. "Never gonna happen."
A smile appeared on your face. "I'll call you oppa if you don't speak for one day straight."
Baekhyun eyes widened again. "One day? That's too long." He sighted. "Okay we're not gonna fight on our date, let's quit here."
You almost choked on your bubble tea.
"D-Date?" You repeated Baek with stuttering.
Your breath was taken when he glued his eyes in yours. "Ofcourse... What else would this be?" He asked while smiling like a baby.
"I-I thought it was just a... A friend meeting?" You answered, but mentally slapped yourself for your stupid answer.
Baekhyun came closer and smirked.
"Oh baby, I know you wish for more than friendship."
