Byun Baekhyun has a huge crush on Kim Taeyeon, a senior in the same school he's attending. He doesn't know how to approach her, so he asks help from Nam Hyora. She agrees to help him, only to regret her decision a bit too late.

Before starting the dish duty that Kyungsoo had entrusted to her and Baekhyun, Hyora punched in a quick message to Hanna first.
Hey are you okay? Tell me if jimmy does anything to you and i'll kick his balls back to seoul
Baekhyun was already starting to wash the gunk off of a plate using the sponge they bought the other day in the convenience store. They didn't really trust the crummy, old, almost-gray sponge that was lying on the sink when they first got here.
"So Luhan and Kyungsoo left?" she asked as she stood beside him.
"Yeah, probably off to where Chanyeol and the rest are," Baekhyun answered. "Honestly Hyo, these are only a few dishes. I'll do it. You should rest."
"Oh please, I've had enough rest already. We'll work this out together." The words turned out rather silly, like they were about to plunge into a life and death situation.
Baekhyun chuckled. "Okay. I'll use the sponge, you wash them under the tap."
"Aye-aye, Your Royal Loserness."
And so they worked together. Like he said, Baekhyun would scrub the dishes and hand it to Hyora who washed it under the faucet and set it on the counter beside the sink.
"How are you and Taeyeon unnie?" she asked, looking at him to see his expression.
Baekhyun didn't show any sort of emotion on his face. He just kept his eyes down the dishes.
"Fine, I guess," he answered. "We talk on the phone and message each other."
"What do you two talk about?"
He cracked a smile as he glanced at her quickly. "You're curious."
"Baek, I'm supposed to know shit. I'm helping you out, remember?"
"Yeah," he said. "About that, I don't know if I ever said thank you for helping."
She raised a brow. "The fuck? What's this all about? Don't change the topic!"
He laughed lightly. "Okay. Well, we just ask about what we're doing, typical, then a random topic would pop up. I don't know, Hyo. Taeyeon and I talk about anything."
She scoffed. "Wow. No honorifics. So it's just Taeyeon now, not Taeyeon noona."
Just as she expected, his ears turned pink. She snickered.
"W-we've become comfortable."
She nodded impressively. "Uh-huh. I can see that." And I can see that they're not officially together yet. Just comfortable.
Finally, they've finished drying the dishes and walked out of the room together.
