Annoying Yet The Right One | SeBaek | EDITING

Chapter 13

Baekhyun's POV

After what felt like an eternity, we finally arrived at the mall Sehun had mentioned earlier.

"What are we doing here?" I asked as I stepped out of the car, waiting for Sehun to follow.

"What do people usually do at a mall?" he replied sarcastically, raising an eyebrow. This guy, seriously...

"Whatever," I muttered under my breath, jogging up to him. And just like that, he walked off without me. Wow, what a gentleman.

We entered the mall in silence, and I took a moment to admire the surroundings. This wasn’t just any mall—it was one of the most famous and high-end shopping centers in South Korea.

Only the wealthy could afford the food, clothes, shoes, bags, and everything else sold here. And I was definitely not one of them.

Why did Sehun bring me here of all places? He could’ve just dragged one of his rich friends instead.

"Hey," his voice pulled me from my thoughts. "Do you want to eat first?"

I paused for a moment before nodding as I suddenly realized I was starving.

That’s when he smiled, his eyes turning into little crescents. Not gonna lie—he looked cute.

He motioned for me to follow, and I did, considering I had no clue where to go in a place like this.

Okay, I take back every complaint. That was the best meal I’ve ever had in my life.

The food Sehun ordered was incredible! But what really got me was how much of it involved strawberries.

Strawberry cake. Strawberry ice cream. Strawberry cupcakes. Actual strawberries.

I had no idea how he knew I loved them, but I wasn’t about to question it.

I almost cried at the sight but I managed to keep my composure. No way was I embarrassing myself in front of him or anyone else.

Now, we were in a clothing store, browsing through outfits.

"I think this will look good on you," he said, suddenly shoving a suit in my face. My eyes widened in shock.

"Go try it on," he added, motioning toward the dressing room.

Muttering curses under my breath, I grabbed the suit and headed inside. Why was I even doing this? I didn’t plan on buying anything.

After finally getting it on, I heard Sehun call out.

"You done yet?"

"Just a sec."

After checking myself in the mirror one last time, I stepped out and faced him.

"How do I look?" I asked, striking a small pose. I knew I looked good.

He eyed me up and down. Then down and up. And then repeated the process.

I groaned. "Yah, stop it."

His gaze finally met mine, and for some reason, I felt heat rise to my cheeks. Was I... blushing?

"...You look... okay," he finally muttered before turning away. "Get changed—we're buying it."

I stared at him, horrified. "What? No way! I'm not buying this. It's too expensive, Sehun!"

He turned back with a small smile. "Who said you were paying? Now hurry before I change my mind."

I stood there, momentarily stunned, before realizing he was serious. Seeing his expectant look, I immediately rushed back inside before he had the chance to take back his words.

Not gonna lie, the suit was totally my style. No way was I wasting this opportunity.

—––

Guess what? He actually did buy me the ridiculously expensive yet stunning suit.

I wasn’t expecting it at all. Honestly, I thought he was just messing with me or would make me carry his shopping bags, but I was wrong.

And I felt a little guilty for assuming the worst. He’d been surprisingly nice lately—still an idiot, but a good idiot.

Now, here we were, standing in line for movie tickets.

Not just any movie, our favorite movie. Avengers: Endgame.

I had no idea he was a fan too, but the moment we realized we both loved it, we immediately rushed to get tickets. Watching it on a massive screen instead of a TV or phone? Absolutely worth it.

At the end of the day, Sehun somehow managed to turn an ordinary day into one of the best I’ve had in a long time.
