We've been living under the same roof for almost 5 months now and I never thought of him as a man.

But since yesterday, I can't get that thought out of this damn mind. I must be over the heels because I am finally friends with my ultimate love, Junmyeon, but instead if thinking about him, here I am, thinking about the man who's wreaking havoc on my system.

He confuses me with his acts as well. He acts and sounds like he likes me but the way he flirted with the girl on the photoshoot, says otherwise.

He parked his car on its usual spot. I made up my mind. I'll clear everything tonight.

"We're here." He said

"Baekhyun-ah.. do you like me?"

He was about to get off from the car when he heard what I said. He stopped and stared at me for a moment. He just stared at me like that for a minute, I guess? It is just a minute but I can't wait for his damn answer.

"What?" I said.

The anticipation is killing me. My heart beats faster than usual and I don't even know why. After a minute Baekhyun smiled and answered.

"I am just wondering why is your intonation very flat when it's supposed to be a rising intonation because it is answerable by yes or no." He said.

Really? You really have to think about it now? I am here almost dying in anticipation.

I rolled my eyes and he laughed. This must be a serious moment but why is he freaking laughing?

"Are you asking because you really don't know or because you're plain curious?"

Instead of answering his question, I just raised an eye brow.

"If you are asking me if I like you romantically, sorry, but no, I don't like you." He said while smiling.

"Really?"

I can't believe what I just heard. Though I'm a little confused about his feelings, I am almost 90% sure that he likes me. Like, why is he always trying to tell me that I should let my feelings for Junmyeon go, if he doesn't like me 'romantically'?

So I am just assuming things?

"HAHAHAHAHA, why do you look so disappointed. Don't worry, I like you as a person. I mean, I like bother and make fun of you, cutie." He said as he gets off the car.

I was left dumbfounded. As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat. I wasn't killed but I felt a little pain in my heart. It's a good thing though that I've cleared it out. At least I know that he doesn't like me.

'But why did he kissed you? Multiple times?' My little mind asked.

I was still sitting inside the car when the car door on my right opened.

"What? You'll live inside the car?" Baekhyun said as he goes at the back of the car to get my things he purchased.

I can off the car and silently walk beside him. He's holding everything that he bought and I can't help but think that that meant something.

"What?" He asked when he caught me staring at him while we are inside the elevator.

"Nothing. I just noticed that you have a mole on your cheek." I said.

He smiled, teasing me.

"You just noticed that now? But I wonder why you're noticing things about me all of a sudden."

"I- I, it's not like that, I mean--" wasn't able to finish my words because the elevator opened and we are in the now approaching his unit. My head is throbbing. I need a good sleep.
