Word Counts: 6k HAHAHAH
Summary: When Baekhyun realized that luck wasn't totally on his side.
Baekhyun stared at the ceiling, thinking about the beautiful girl he met at the club. They didn’t talk-he didn’t get the chance to. Or maybe he just didn’t want to talk yet. He was mesmerized by her beauty and her charm, he swore that she glowed in that club. Even though she was in the middle of a quite big group, she was the only one that was shining brightly, making Baekhyun left awestruck.
He thought of her face-eyes, nose, cute plump lips that looked so kissable and all-and her S-line figure. She was thin, just like how Korean girls were now, but she had the curves that made men go crazy.
Shit, I really need to make her mine before I started jerking off with only the thought of her, Baekhyun thought to himself, putting away all the sinful thoughts that could make him actually aroused.
He started taking his music sheets-wanting to continue his own composition. He wrote songs that ridiculously awesome and sold them to artists’ managements, but mostly he wrote nugu groups’ title songs. His songs always had catchy beat, making people easy to fall in love and sang to it unconsciously.
If the managements purposely requested him some mushy ballad songs, then he would write and compose a fantastic one that could win 1st position in music shows, defeating the famous ones.
But because he only did it for additional incomes, he didn’t gave them his real name and just told them to put a B in the composer’s and writer’s column in the albums. This activity was actually just a part-time thing that he did since in college. But now, he only accepted requests and made the songs when he really had the time, because in the day he was a financial staff that was making his career went up by his educated brain.
Baekhyun was actually could be considered as a genius and when he was a child, he was a prodigy. He was the one that teachers picked to be the school’s representative to many contests-from music, sport, and science-and was the school’s best tennis player despite never having the real training from a trainer before.
He strummed his guitar slowly, afraid of waking up the people that slept in the same house as him-his family. They lived in a really small, but enough house because the money his parents’ made was just enough to make them survived. But things were getting better now and the loans were already being paid by Baekhyun’s incomes.
Suddenly Baekhyun’s phone rang-the ringtone was a weird metal music that was obviously not Baekhyun’s type of music, but this person made him downloaded this useless song and turned this song to be the specific ringtone for this person.
“What’s up? It’s like, two in the morning,” Baekhyun answered the call, answering so casually with no care at all.
“So what? I know you will be worthlessly awake in this hour, working on god-knows-what, trying to be productive even if you’re actually just producing garbage,”
This was, absolutely, Baekhyun’s annoying, but only one bestfriend, Park Chanyeol. A heir of a really big corporation, acting like he owned the world, but actually smart at managing the company and other things a heir should knew. He was the perfect man for any girls-except his sharp tongue.
“I’m making music, you jerk,” Baekhyun replied that kind of statement for the thousandth time already, “But why actually do you call? I except the drunk Chanyeol will call me at these hours,”
“I met a fantastic girl in the club, and that kept me aware from all the liquors I’ve been stuffing myself up,” he started dramatically, making Baekhyun rolled his eyes but continued to listen nevertheless, “She danced so fucking good, and we made out pretty intensely but we didn’t fuck, yet,”
Baekhyun scoffed at that, making Chanyeol roared with laughter at the other side of the line. “Okay, I don’t particularly need the information of your healthy sex life, you asshole. But why didn’t you fuck her yet? Like you have that nice penthouse of yours that can lure her-or oh, want her to fall in love with you without knowing how much is the money in your pocket or how good you fuck her?”
“What the fuck, man, I’m not into cheesy, dreamy fairytales like your ballad songs,” Chanyeol said, but then chuckled lightly, “don’t be so sensitive about it, Baek. I know you can’t fuck with girls in your house, no offense, but probably yes. I want her to love me just the way I am, not love me just how much my money I have, or like you said, how great do I fuck her,”
“Okay, well, I think I don’t pretty much care about your love life?” Baekhyun answered, but then spoke again, “so what will you do to meet that girl again? Or what name will you give to her? You know, the name Park Chanyeol is just so ridiculously famous for being the most success heir of the year?”
“Yes, I know that myself, I’m not a moron like you,” Chanyeol said like it’s a matter-of-fact, but this conversation was just going absolutely nowhere, “Actually I’m just calling you to invite you to the club the day after tomorrow, maybe she would be there. Are you busy? Should I go there alone, with you, or with the other trying-to-be-cool-like-me heirs?”
“I can’t Yeol, sorry, have to work my ass off,” Baekhyun said apologetically, “one of the top three entertainments want to try off using my music for one of their debuting artists. Like the pay’s gonna be big, and I will be playing a part for their future if I am succeed on this project, and the financial promotion will be in the next week and I’m gonna show them Byun Baekhyun is qualified to be a financial manager, not just a mere staff,”
“Cool then,” Chanyeol nodded even though Baekhyun couldn’t see him, “should I go alone?”
“Yes, you know I always think the other heirs are not a good choice of circle of friendships,” Baekhyun said, pursed his lips and yawned. Sleep had called him, before he hung up he said the words of goodbye happily, ”Well, need to sleep so tomorrow I’ll be more productive than this day. Bye, asshole! Don’t drink too much liquor after this!”
Chanyeol just looked to his phone and sincerely wishing Baekhyun a fighting, you can do it because Baekhyun worked so hard and he deserved whatever recognition he needed, not like him that was already born being the next heir.
Baekhyun hopped in the bus and sat on an empty seat beside a girl that seemed like a medical student, because she was holding a medical school's white coat. He admired this girl secretly, because he always wanted to be a doctor but the med school was just too expensive and took a long time before making money. Then she looked at Baekhyun's way and Baekhyun finally realized that this girl was - the girl in the club. That glowing girl.
Luck was definitely on his side, thanks god.
But he managed to find a hold of himself and bowed politely to her and gave her a small, polite smile. She returned, and god, Baekhyun was so mesmerized by her beauty again. So this girl should be smart, right? I know Byun Baekhyun wouldn't pick the wrong person to be his crush, Baekhyun thought to himself.
"A financial staff at the company near Hongdae?" she started the conversation, making the train of thoughts on Baekhyun's brain stopped. "Sorry if I sounded rude or something, but I swore I ever saw staffs coming from that company wore the same shirt like you every Monday. So a lucky guess, or nah?"
"Lucky, I must said," Baekhyun said, and smiled. "Are we on the same age or not? I'm 92 line,"
"It's your turn to guess now, financial staff-ssi," she smirked and looked Baekhyun at the eyes challengingly, "Do you really think a medical student, young and beautiful like me will be the same age as you, that's already working your ass off as financial stuff?"
"Um, I think yes?" Baekhyun guessed, an eyebrow twitched up in whether amusement or confusion - but it was okay. "Maybe you got into the medical school pretty late because of some reasons I didn't want to guess, or can't guess. Admit it, you're twenty four years old now,"
"Unfortunately, I have to hop off right now, this is my stop," that girl looked at him with some winning sensation on her face. That beauty sure was fascinating - felt like an ocean he had to dive to know how deep was it and how amazing was it. "And yes, I am 92 line. But that doesn't make us instantly chingus, okay?"
She didn't forget to wink before she got off, and Baekhyun was as sure as hell she saw the red tips on his cheeks and ears that made him felt hot.
Such a tease, Baekhyun noted.
After finished composing the songs and started writing the lyrics, Baekhyun needed some inspirations. He needed some refreshments or entertainments to get on with - to keep him inspired. He opened a website that was made for houses being sold or rented, a small flat or big penthouse to rent or to buy, and other things such as suitable furnitures that possessed different theme.
My dream house, Baekhyun thought dreamily, maybe with that girl.
Baekhyun sighed. Tonight he didn't get in the same bus as her, so he didn't get the chance to know whether his guess was right or not. She wasn't really the type to have a one night stand with him that easy, right? She was tricky and quick-witted, and turned out to be a medical student. But maybe, just maybe?
He stumbled on an advertisement of a really nice apartment. It was already fully furnished and neatly organized, just the apartment he really wanted. Maybe one year from now he could really buy that apartment, even though it's for rent for now. He left a comment, while thinking about just maybe, he could go to one night stand with her in this apartment.
"Can I rent this apartment for a day?"
Shim Hani was a successful broker - she was really good at renting and selling properties - houses, apartments, commercial buildings, lands. She even succeed on selling those flats that were actually not really sufficient to live in, but she really had a talent at that field because she was persuasive and full of reasons. She got in college two years late, had just collected the money by her selling houses activities.
Her mom was just a maid in a chaebol's house, a really loyal one. His dad was gone, died of liver cancer since she was only four years old - she barely even knew his face anymore. Her mom didn't believe in medical stuffs while she was currently suffering of TBC and didn't even drink the medicines that Hani bought with her own money. Her mom only believed in shamans and all those unrealistic and unreasonable things.
Hani got enough of her mom's behaviour, really, but she didn't give up and kept mixing some medicines on her food and drinks. She was a really nice daughter, after all, despite how different were the ways they both used to take decisions in life. Even though they didn't really get along well, she stayed by her mother's side.
That night, Hani was in the club celebrating her god-knows-how-many-times she sold a chaebol's house. She knew her workmates didn't really fond of her - they were always secretly envy of her and it made her actually really felt bad. That's why, everytime Hani sold something really expensive or rented it, she invited her friends to clubs and partying with them even though Hani didn't really like to drink, despite her alcohol's tolerance was quite high.
She was really bored that time and she excused herself to take some air and other drinks while actually she just didn't want to listen the garbage talks of her workmates.
"A glass of wine, please," she said to the bartender, and sat carelessly on an empty chair.
She darted her vision toward any corners in the club, and then there was him. That gorgeous man who sat across her, drinking a glass of some random drinks Hani didn't know what the name was (she wasn't really a fan of drinks, right). They had an eye-contact but she immediately broke it - she didn't even know why did she break the eye-contact in the first place. But he really was awesome. His face complexion and even though he wasn't really tall, his body seemed okay, healthy and built up.
After finally succeeded on taking her eyes off the man, she went to the dance floor and danced with some random guy that she didn't even look at. She was playing with this guy teasingly - just like how she lived life. Charmingly, but also a sly one. She just really resembled a fox. She made out with him and made him fell under her charms, and just left him carelessly.
Hani couldn't sleep that day thinking about that fine man that sat across her, and for the first time praying to have a chance to meet that guy again.
Her prayer was being heard; she met that man as her seatmate in the bus. Even though it was only a small talk and she sounded like a clever, sly wench, she was actually blushing inside. She found it really cute when she saw the slight red tips on his cheeks and his ears. He was a financial staff on the office near Hongdae, she noted, how cute.
Two days after that day, Baekhyun met that girl again. The seat next to her was empty; like it was reserved for him. He smiled to himself, and quickly approached her. He caught her humming to his ballad songs, how cute.
"Oh, you again," she welcomed his presence with that little smirk like that day, but then turned into a warm smile, "financial staff-ssi?"
"Don't call me like that again next time you see me," now Baekhyun had that victory smile, and turned into a warm grin too, "I will be a financial manager soon. And well, I'm actually the writer and composer of the song you've been humming all day,"
"You're kidding me," she said with an uninterested expression displayed on her face, her eyes were staring straightly to Baekhyun's eyes making his stomach did some flips.
"Well, really," Baekhyun opened up his folder to take out a music sheet of the song Hani had been humming to. "This is the real music sheet of it. The partitur of that song,"
She immediately snatched it from Baekhyun's hand, making Baekhyun chuckled to himself how cute she was. She then acted like her fingers played a piano - dreamily, of course. A realization took over her and she looked up to Baekhyun with some amazement.
"What? You're that mysterious B?" she nearly screamed, making the other passengers looked at their way, in which she whispered sorry, sorry to them but with an excited glint. "Like, you're my idol? All of those upbeat songs that made the nugu groups went up and all that mushy ballad songs that made me sentimental, oh my, are you the writer and the composer?"
"Well, yes. But I think, this is your stop now?" Baekhyun glanced at the window, and she freaked out.
"Oh my god, yes, you're right," Hani glanced at the surroundings and immediately stood up, collecting her belongings. She snatched Baekhyun's phone and typed something fast on it, while Baekhyun just gazed at her weirdly. "Here, my name's Hani. Shim Hani. You send me a message in where and when, okay? Okay. Have a great day, B!"
"Have a wonderful day as well!" Baekhyun cheerfully replied and waved like a fool then turned to his phone. Hani named herself as beautiful doctor Shim Hani and Baekhyun added the emoji of pink hearts, grinned ear to ear by himself.
meet me at coffee shop in front of ur uni? well just text me after ur class is over (i actually feel like an ajussi trying to get a highschooler girl as a gf) - ur cool bus seatmate aka that financial staff guy
Hani stared at the message happily with a stupid wide grin on her face because who knew fate and luck crossed paths with her this way? She typed something and clicked send, with some evil smirk, but heading to the coffee shop anyway.
are you even sure i'm studying at that uni? ure so confident. btw u do look like a boring, old ajussi and im still a smart, young, and beautiful highschooler. so shoo away from me. :) (ps: class is over where r u) (17:20)
yes young princess ajussi will be right there <3 (17:21)
Baekhyun stepped out of the bus and quickly walked to the coffee shop with some confident steps and cheerful steps. He whistled his own songs - as weird as it sounded but he did it quite often when his mood was great. Like who even cares? It was his own song anyway, like you all had no right to judge him and the songs.
He stepped in the coffee shop to find the glowing girl and there she was - in the corner, but still glowing and stunning in her own ways. She was busy typing something to her phone that she didn't even notice Baekhyun had taken the seat next to her. He stared at her a little longer and she finally looked in Baekhyun's direction.
"When did you come? You're always managed to surprise me, suddenly being next to me," Hani scoffed, but welcomed him nevertheless. "But really, you're B?"
Baekhyun just nodded, then a silence engulfed the two of them. The coffee shop currently played Baekhyun's recently written song, his newest composition, a sexy one which he actually felt embarassed by the lyrics itself and him - like he possessed the enough amount of inspirations and imaginations to write and compose such erotic song.
"What are you going to do if I say I literally love this song, but too vulgar to sing in front of friends and colleagues?" Hani started, making Baekhyun felt all warm by the sudden confession - but embarrassed too, overall. It was just plainly erotic and in some points it sounded sickening. He didn't pretty much care though, that song ever won twice in several music shows.
"Well, it's great," Baekhyun said with a warm smile, "How about liking the writer of the song too?"
"No thank you," Hani quickly answered, turning Baekhyun's mouth from a handsome, warm smile into a childish pout and frowning. "By the way I'm really hungry. How about we go to the street vendor which sells delicious bibimbap? That one is pretty fantastic in taste and cheap too. Let's go there!"
"But promise me that we will know about each other better than before?"
"Obviously."
From what seemingly like an endless talk - finally it ended, when they both didn’t really want their ‘date’ to end. They really got to know about each other a little bit closer and deeper, but it was actually just like breaking the ice between two of them. Hani had a great humor taste and she was just awesomely funny and outgoing, but had some disciplines in her. A tricky one indeed.
As an intermezzo between things in their job, they told each other about the things that was going in each life.
"By the way, my advertisement just got commented by a person, which I think is really stupid," Baekhyun seemed interested immediately and the screen showed a really great apartment. "So this is about rent an apartment, then this person is just ridiculously asking that can this person rent this room for a day?”
“Um, what’s wrong with that?” he was offended, truly, because actually Hani was showing him his own comment. But overall he was feeling more embarrassed than offended, because -
“Well of course, it’s either he was just a horny bastard or a dumb one to begin with,” Hani started, puffing the air and took a bibimbap on her mouth, “If he wanted to do an one night stand, then do it in a love motel or booked a hotel for one night! Apartments for rent are minimum to be rented like 4 months and this guy is just- daebak.”
Baekhyun smiled, then laughed. “This situation really seems funny,”
“Well, I think it’s annoying, nevertheless,” Hani said, but staring at Baekhyun strangely because he didn’t stop laughing to himself. “Why are you still laughing? What’s really funny?”
“The one that commented in your ad is me,” he broke the news and stared shyly at Hani to see her reaction and she just showed a blank face for a split second - and broke into a really loud laugh that made people stared at her. She was laughing like a retarded whale and did some crazy clapping, and Baekhyun didn’t really have another choice than to join.
“What,” Hani said nonchalantly with a disbelief expression. “What, no. Let me just stuff these bibimbaps to my mouth and forget the things you have said and done.”
“But really, this Byun Baekhyun, B, asked you this!” Baekhyun roared with laughter while Hani was busy covering her face from embarrassment.
“I have a date with someone that is seemingly like a horny bastard or a dumb one,” Hani’s laugh finally faltered down, but still cracked a beautiful smile. “So that’s it? Here’s the end of our.. date?”
“Um, yes?” Baekhyun smiled, and cracked a grin, “Why? Are you sad?”
“Well, I think I’m going to the club, inviting friends and such,” Hani said nonchalantly, like it was a routine to do so, “I sold that government’s house, you know. The one on TV, that was incredibly great. Someone bought that with a really, really big amount of money, gotta share this with friends before they get envy and be such pains in the ass,”
“I think you should’ve said friends with apostrophe,” Baekhyun chuckled, and Hani nodded along. “Don’t be so drunk, I’m gonna text you to keep you company.”
“Ew, who needs a text friend when you can fuck and meet someone new in the club? Think like how humans are now, Baekhyun,” Hani said with a grin, but then continued, “By the way thank you for these dinner and those information I got about composing songs and practically your life, Byun-ssi, soon becoming a financial manager, a horny bastard that wants to rent an apartment for a day to fuck a girl?”
“Thank you as well, Shim-ssi, soon becoming an intern in the great hospital in the middle of the city, you’re-so-amazing-i-don’t-know-how-to-mock-you?” Baekhyun laughed and Hani too.
Soon they were walking to the nearby bus station, clearly hopping in the different buses. Hani’s bus was the first to stop at the station, but Hani just didn’t really want to go to the club, just desiring to enjoy the company of Baekhyun. But she really had to, so okay, let be it.
“Go in, girl,” Baekhyun encouraged Hani, made her stepped out of her train of thoughts, pushing her shoulder, “or you don’t want to leave me? That’s so sweet of you,”
Hani turned around for a sec and left a quick peck on Baekhyun’s cheek, making it immediately dusted by a light blush. She quickly got in the bus and the bus went to the next station after that - while both Hani and Baekhyun couldn’t take their minds off of each other.
Baekhyun called Chanyeol that night - or maybe morning. They were usually on the phone like at 2 a.m. and that was their usual time. Chanyeol usually went to a club in random days, and Baekhyun thought this must be it. He must’ve already met that flawless girl.
“Hi? Is it sober Chanyeol, delusional Chanyeol, or drunk Chanyeol that answer my call?” Baekhyun greeted in a chirpy voice, and not so long the back voice was Chanyeol burped into the call making Baekhyun sounded ews.
“Delusional?” Chanyeol guessed. Delusional was his state when he was being there - his mind was still really there, existed in the right place but were drunk too, but not drunk enough to be classified as the real ‘drunk’. “You know Baek, I met that girl again,”
“And I bought her a drink and she enjoyed it, okay, I think this must be fun and after this we’ll be like breaking the ice and talk about life,” Chanyeol said, voice was still clear and Baekhyun, being the great listener he was still stayed.
“But then she slurred about the man she had been crushing on these days. This man was so hardworking, she said, and I don’t know man I think I’m being delusional when she said hardworking I immediately thought of you.”
“You think too much about me and you drink too much,” Baekhyun just nonchalantly commented, and laughed anyways. “Aw, does our Park Chanyeol-ie think about Baekhyun-ie often?”
“Shut up you bastard,” Chanyeol roared with laughter. “But you are like the most hardworking person I know and she said it with a sincere tone - and maybe does she know you?”
“What’s her name?” Baekhyun was only half listening at that time - still writing and composing the best song to be presented for one of the top three entertainments the day after tomorrow.
It would be a cliché song, about a boy - since the singers were boygroup - that met a fantastic girl and immediately wanted to make her mine. So mainstream, right? But B’s lyrics had never failed to amaze the ones using his music, because there would always a plot twist exist.
“I don’t pretty much know, Baek, it’s all hazy in this world,” Chanyeol said, then slurring asking for another glass to a bartender.
“Stop drinking, you ass. I will come to there if you won’t fucking drag your ass out there by yourself.” Baekhyun warned, because Chanyeol’s body had ever passed out for drinking too much alcohol a day before an important meeting. And Baekhyun did a very, very great job on covering him as a second in command, when he was just a new employed staff in the next door company.
“Yes sir!” Chanyeol spoke formally, then continued, “Her name is Sh----”
Peeeep.
Baekhyun’s smartphone’s light dimmed, and displaying some goodbye logos along the way.
Oops, sorry Yeol.

In their sixth time eating together in a cheap street vendor that is recommended by people - Baekhyun got a call from the management’s representative saying that they will use the song to be the second title track. Even though it’s second, it’s enough for Baekhyun. The pay would be big.
In the same time, Hani got a call too, from a chaebol that had been constantly asking about the former president’s house - the one that she was helping selling it. The chaebol agreed on the price the former president had set up and tomorrow the money would be transferred.
They smiled at each other, sensing each other’s happiness. Their smiles went wider and wider - but the sincerity could be seen clearly.
Baekhyun’s happiness affected Hani’s, and Hani’s happiness affected Baekhyun’s.
Slowly their faces were getting closer and closer, the distance between them slowly decreased and decreased, until their noses bumped. They still smiled - soon both of them leaned in into a chaste, longing kiss.
Baekhyun got a message after that date, that made him chuckled alone in the bus.
you fucking tasted like the sushi you ate. (from: Beautiful Hani<3, 22:05)
Hani got a reply quickly, that made her heart raced against her ribs.
you tasted like your cheese ramen. and watch your language :)
btw i hope you don’t go to the club this night lol (from: B<3, 22:05)
She frowned at the last sentence though.
aw :( sorry. a friend with apostrophe invited me to the club this time, copying my habits to celebrate in the club after selling a chaebol’s house. lol, people. i will always remember our kiss, don’t worry. (Sent, 22:07)
Baekhyun received a call that was interrupting his good sleep that he didn’t actually have in his life - always having to work his ass off. But look at this call, crashing Baekhyun’s hope to sleep at least six hours for that night.
“What the fuck, man. I am actually sleeping in 2 AM, and here you are interrupting my really, really rare sleep.”
“Byun Baekhyun sleeping in 2 AM when it’s weekdays? Oh my, some things should’ve happened today, or these days,” Chanyeol amusedly replied, and Baekhyun could imagine his slightly mocking face. “And you didn’t even tell me anything anymore, yet you still call me your one and only bestfriend.”
“So what’s actually up? I hope you call me for some relevant, important things - and not incoherent things.”
“You know, I met that fucking girl again, and we talked,” Chanyeol started, making Baekhyun’s ears perked up in excitement to hear his bestfriend’s story. “And this night no one is really drunk. And she agrees on having some coffee this afternoon and you know, I am just feeling like I have to tell you this.”
“So, our Chanyeol finally find the right girl? The one?” Baekhyun teased, resulting a whiny Chanyeol. “By the way I also kissed a girl today. In these two weeks we are like flirting and having dinner together like almost every night.”
“Oh my fuck, I was already forgot when was the last time you talked about girls.” Chanyeol mocked Baekhyun, but he just laughed it off because it was really true. Baekhyun himself didn’t really have the so-called first love, and even if he had some relationships, he only did it for fun.
“And also!” Baekhyun started, “you know TOP Entertainment? One of the big three in this country?”
“Yes, of course. Last week we agreed that my company would sponsor the boygroup that would debut soon. They sounded great and looked, um, compromising, so I gave them a chance. What about them? Did they use your song to be a title track? Really?”
“The second title track, to be exact,” Baekhyun said with a big smile, “but I am just feeling so happy, nevertheless.
That soon, the name B would be written in one of TOP’s artists’ album and it’s so - exciting.”
“It sounds nice, that your hardworking habit seems to be paid off by the results you’re getting these days,” Chanyeol said, and then the noise of papers being handled was heard in Baekhyun’s ears. “I have some paperwork to do, so Baek, I’ll hang up first. Let’s celebrate your success on Friday night in our fave club?”
“Of course. Bye.”
“Hey,” Baekhyun greeted, making Hani that was busy on her phone startled by the sudden greeting.
Baekhyun then went closer to Hani’s phone because she was too immersed in phone like there was something incredibly astonishing in that phone while there was a blinding, valuable jewel beside her.
What was Baekhyun narrating earlier?
So which coffee shop will we go tonight? Near Apgujeong train station or where? ;) (From: stranger in the club lol, 07:29)
“I’m feeling somewhat -”
“Don’t be jealous,” she chuckled, guessing the missing part of the sentence. “This guy is just flirting with me in the club because I danced with him some nights ago. I know he is a really rich guy but he acts like he’s not one. And for that reason I dislike him already, cause I really love honesty amongst of all and that guy is just breaking the number one rule in my life.”
“I don’t know you are respecting the name of honesty that much,” Baekhyun commented after listening carefully for some moments to Hani’s explanation. “But hey, I am not jealous. It’s just what- you kissed a boy in the night and you went into a date with another in the day. Don’t feel offended by it, like I mean-"
“I know,” Hani said softly, and then got up because this was her stop. “I’d rather the boy I kissed in the night than the one I flirted with - because that boy, I can kiss him not just in the night.”
With a teasing wink, she got off the bus while humming B’s cheerful songs in the way to her campus.
but baekhyun, can u pick me up after i have some coffee with this guy? or maybe i will text you to help me if the guy is unbearably boring - and act as my boyfie. how does that sound? (07:49)
of course HAHAHAHAHAH. i am always acting as the savior of my bestfriend lol (07:50)
by the way I found a good place for dinner - no, more like awesome. but it’s not a cheap street vendor it’s a formal place. wdyt about it? (07:52)
okaaaay! deal! (but with one condition tho) (07:52)
whats that? hmph, its just a mere dinner and there’s a condition. (07:53)

the condition is accepted! but allow me to help you and annoy you in a bit? (07:54)
I will do both of them even if u don’t ask. (07:54)
Baekhyun was on the bus when Hani called - signaling she needed help.
“Hello, Baek,” she said with a hurried tone, “He was ridiculously hilarious and fun, but there’s a thing I don’t really like. He is so lying about his occupation.”
“Then confront it! I am still on the bus at this moment, then when I take the time, you confront him like you must be fucking lying you jerk i dislike liars,” Baekhyun said with fury, acting with all he had but then turning into the normal Baekhyun. “Why? The Hani I know is a quick-witted fox, or maybe you’d fallen head over heel for him?”
“Fuck no, Baek,” Hani said, half shouted. “I know why the fuck he is lying. It is to attracting me, and just to hide his personality. He seems like a heir of the famous company I forgot the name and you’d better come here okay? I’ve tried reaching you for a few times but you didn’t fucking answer. Come on, time’s ticking.”
She hang up, making Baekhyun hoped the bus would soon stop in front of the coffee shop.
i sit near the door in case something bad happens HAHHA come onnnn (17:50)
Baekhyun opened the coffee shop after fixing himself up while watching his reflection on somebody’s car window that parked in front of the shop. He stepped in the coffee shop as the aroma of coffee processed in his nose - as his eyes searching everywhere for a Shim Hani with a guy that seemed like a heir of the famous company.
Instead of seeing Hani, he spotted a Park Chanyeol drinking a caramel macchiato in his right hand and left hand in his pants - a sign that he was secretly nervous. With a girl with a backside that he knew well.
A realization took over him and he stuck in the position.
The girl Chanyeol talked about these days was Shim Hani.
Hani glanced worriedly at every corners in the coffee shop because the last message Baekhyun said was he was already in front of the shop, trying to look presentable as her boyfriend. But no one had approached them.
“Are you waiting for someone or have an appointment after this? You are always checking the time.” Chanyeol casually said, and then added, “Or, you are bored with me and ask your friend to help you get out from this scene? I’m sorry if I’m boring, though.”
“Oh, it’s not like that,” Hani stepped out of her long thoughts - but really, where was Baekhyun? “My friend just said that he was near in this area and would come visit me after I meet you, but he didn’t show up.”
She politely smiled, and half listening to the conversation after that, and texting like a hundred messages of where are you to WHERE ARE YOU YOU DAMN JEEEERRRRKKKK to I FUCKING NEED YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
And Baekhyun just replied that, with a really, really broken heart five hours later. After stuffing up all his favorite food - from ice cream to Korean’s meat - he came into a decision that Chanyeol could have her.
As silly as it sounded, Chanyeol deserved the girl more than him. Chanyeol needed a companion more, considering he was a heir of a ridiculously famous company that often went into a formal party that sometimes needed to bring a woman, considering he was a big boss that had a big amount of stress and needed someone to comfort and cheer him up when the business didn’t work well.
While Baekhyun was just a mere financial staff that was living in a poor family.
Sorry, a sudden important meeting came up and I had to attend. Hope you have a nice date with him.
(p.s.: he really looks nice not like mE HAHAHAHA) (23:07)
Should I let you go, he typed. But he immediately deleted again.
Should I be honest to you that I know your date today and he's my fucking bestfriend and I said to him I'll be rooting for him and whoever girl he fell in love with - and thats you - but I love you too much to root for my bestfriend?
As Baekhyun realized he really, really fell in love with Shim Hani, a smart, quick-witted, playful girl, the successful broker but chasing her dreams with so much spirit and never giving up, he didn't realized that he accidentally clicked the send button.
Fuck it.
Luck was never (completely) on his side.

Summary: When Baekhyun realized that luck wasn't totally on his side.
Baekhyun stared at the ceiling, thinking about the beautiful girl he met at the club. They didn’t talk-he didn’t get the chance to. Or maybe he just didn’t want to talk yet. He was mesmerized by her beauty and her charm, he swore that she glowed in that club. Even though she was in the middle of a quite big group, she was the only one that was shining brightly, making Baekhyun left awestruck.
He thought of her face-eyes, nose, cute plump lips that looked so kissable and all-and her S-line figure. She was thin, just like how Korean girls were now, but she had the curves that made men go crazy.
Shit, I really need to make her mine before I started jerking off with only the thought of her, Baekhyun thought to himself, putting away all the sinful thoughts that could make him actually aroused.
He started taking his music sheets-wanting to continue his own composition. He wrote songs that ridiculously awesome and sold them to artists’ managements, but mostly he wrote nugu groups’ title songs. His songs always had catchy beat, making people easy to fall in love and sang to it unconsciously.
If the managements purposely requested him some mushy ballad songs, then he would write and compose a fantastic one that could win 1st position in music shows, defeating the famous ones.
But because he only did it for additional incomes, he didn’t gave them his real name and just told them to put a B in the composer’s and writer’s column in the albums. This activity was actually just a part-time thing that he did since in college. But now, he only accepted requests and made the songs when he really had the time, because in the day he was a financial staff that was making his career went up by his educated brain.
Baekhyun was actually could be considered as a genius and when he was a child, he was a prodigy. He was the one that teachers picked to be the school’s representative to many contests-from music, sport, and science-and was the school’s best tennis player despite never having the real training from a trainer before.
He strummed his guitar slowly, afraid of waking up the people that slept in the same house as him-his family. They lived in a really small, but enough house because the money his parents’ made was just enough to make them survived. But things were getting better now and the loans were already being paid by Baekhyun’s incomes.
Suddenly Baekhyun’s phone rang-the ringtone was a weird metal music that was obviously not Baekhyun’s type of music, but this person made him downloaded this useless song and turned this song to be the specific ringtone for this person.
“What’s up? It’s like, two in the morning,” Baekhyun answered the call, answering so casually with no care at all.
“So what? I know you will be worthlessly awake in this hour, working on god-knows-what, trying to be productive even if you’re actually just producing garbage,”
This was, absolutely, Baekhyun’s annoying, but only one bestfriend, Park Chanyeol. A heir of a really big corporation, acting like he owned the world, but actually smart at managing the company and other things a heir should knew. He was the perfect man for any girls-except his sharp tongue.
“I’m making music, you jerk,” Baekhyun replied that kind of statement for the thousandth time already, “But why actually do you call? I except the drunk Chanyeol will call me at these hours,”
“I met a fantastic girl in the club, and that kept me aware from all the liquors I’ve been stuffing myself up,” he started dramatically, making Baekhyun rolled his eyes but continued to listen nevertheless, “She danced so fucking good, and we made out pretty intensely but we didn’t fuck, yet,”
Baekhyun scoffed at that, making Chanyeol roared with laughter at the other side of the line. “Okay, I don’t particularly need the information of your healthy sex life, you asshole. But why didn’t you fuck her yet? Like you have that nice penthouse of yours that can lure her-or oh, want her to fall in love with you without knowing how much is the money in your pocket or how good you fuck her?”
“What the fuck, man, I’m not into cheesy, dreamy fairytales like your ballad songs,” Chanyeol said, but then chuckled lightly, “don’t be so sensitive about it, Baek. I know you can’t fuck with girls in your house, no offense, but probably yes. I want her to love me just the way I am, not love me just how much my money I have, or like you said, how great do I fuck her,”
“Okay, well, I think I don’t pretty much care about your love life?” Baekhyun answered, but then spoke again, “so what will you do to meet that girl again? Or what name will you give to her? You know, the name Park Chanyeol is just so ridiculously famous for being the most success heir of the year?”
“Yes, I know that myself, I’m not a moron like you,” Chanyeol said like it’s a matter-of-fact, but this conversation was just going absolutely nowhere, “Actually I’m just calling you to invite you to the club the day after tomorrow, maybe she would be there. Are you busy? Should I go there alone, with you, or with the other trying-to-be-cool-like-me heirs?”
“I can’t Yeol, sorry, have to work my ass off,” Baekhyun said apologetically, “one of the top three entertainments want to try off using my music for one of their debuting artists. Like the pay’s gonna be big, and I will be playing a part for their future if I am succeed on this project, and the financial promotion will be in the next week and I’m gonna show them Byun Baekhyun is qualified to be a financial manager, not just a mere staff,”
“Cool then,” Chanyeol nodded even though Baekhyun couldn’t see him, “should I go alone?”
“Yes, you know I always think the other heirs are not a good choice of circle of friendships,” Baekhyun said, pursed his lips and yawned. Sleep had called him, before he hung up he said the words of goodbye happily, ”Well, need to sleep so tomorrow I’ll be more productive than this day. Bye, asshole! Don’t drink too much liquor after this!”
Chanyeol just looked to his phone and sincerely wishing Baekhyun a fighting, you can do it because Baekhyun worked so hard and he deserved whatever recognition he needed, not like him that was already born being the next heir.
Baekhyun hopped in the bus and sat on an empty seat beside a girl that seemed like a medical student, because she was holding a medical school's white coat. He admired this girl secretly, because he always wanted to be a doctor but the med school was just too expensive and took a long time before making money. Then she looked at Baekhyun's way and Baekhyun finally realized that this girl was - the girl in the club. That glowing girl.
Luck was definitely on his side, thanks god.
But he managed to find a hold of himself and bowed politely to her and gave her a small, polite smile. She returned, and god, Baekhyun was so mesmerized by her beauty again. So this girl should be smart, right? I know Byun Baekhyun wouldn't pick the wrong person to be his crush, Baekhyun thought to himself.
"A financial staff at the company near Hongdae?" she started the conversation, making the train of thoughts on Baekhyun's brain stopped. "Sorry if I sounded rude or something, but I swore I ever saw staffs coming from that company wore the same shirt like you every Monday. So a lucky guess, or nah?"
"Lucky, I must said," Baekhyun said, and smiled. "Are we on the same age or not? I'm 92 line,"
"It's your turn to guess now, financial staff-ssi," she smirked and looked Baekhyun at the eyes challengingly, "Do you really think a medical student, young and beautiful like me will be the same age as you, that's already working your ass off as financial stuff?"
"Um, I think yes?" Baekhyun guessed, an eyebrow twitched up in whether amusement or confusion - but it was okay. "Maybe you got into the medical school pretty late because of some reasons I didn't want to guess, or can't guess. Admit it, you're twenty four years old now,"
"Unfortunately, I have to hop off right now, this is my stop," that girl looked at him with some winning sensation on her face. That beauty sure was fascinating - felt like an ocean he had to dive to know how deep was it and how amazing was it. "And yes, I am 92 line. But that doesn't make us instantly chingus, okay?"
She didn't forget to wink before she got off, and Baekhyun was as sure as hell she saw the red tips on his cheeks and ears that made him felt hot.
Such a tease, Baekhyun noted.
After finished composing the songs and started writing the lyrics, Baekhyun needed some inspirations. He needed some refreshments or entertainments to get on with - to keep him inspired. He opened a website that was made for houses being sold or rented, a small flat or big penthouse to rent or to buy, and other things such as suitable furnitures that possessed different theme.
My dream house, Baekhyun thought dreamily, maybe with that girl.
Baekhyun sighed. Tonight he didn't get in the same bus as her, so he didn't get the chance to know whether his guess was right or not. She wasn't really the type to have a one night stand with him that easy, right? She was tricky and quick-witted, and turned out to be a medical student. But maybe, just maybe?
He stumbled on an advertisement of a really nice apartment. It was already fully furnished and neatly organized, just the apartment he really wanted. Maybe one year from now he could really buy that apartment, even though it's for rent for now. He left a comment, while thinking about just maybe, he could go to one night stand with her in this apartment.
"Can I rent this apartment for a day?"
Shim Hani was a successful broker - she was really good at renting and selling properties - houses, apartments, commercial buildings, lands. She even succeed on selling those flats that were actually not really sufficient to live in, but she really had a talent at that field because she was persuasive and full of reasons. She got in college two years late, had just collected the money by her selling houses activities.
Her mom was just a maid in a chaebol's house, a really loyal one. His dad was gone, died of liver cancer since she was only four years old - she barely even knew his face anymore. Her mom didn't believe in medical stuffs while she was currently suffering of TBC and didn't even drink the medicines that Hani bought with her own money. Her mom only believed in shamans and all those unrealistic and unreasonable things.
Hani got enough of her mom's behaviour, really, but she didn't give up and kept mixing some medicines on her food and drinks. She was a really nice daughter, after all, despite how different were the ways they both used to take decisions in life. Even though they didn't really get along well, she stayed by her mother's side.
That night, Hani was in the club celebrating her god-knows-how-many-times she sold a chaebol's house. She knew her workmates didn't really fond of her - they were always secretly envy of her and it made her actually really felt bad. That's why, everytime Hani sold something really expensive or rented it, she invited her friends to clubs and partying with them even though Hani didn't really like to drink, despite her alcohol's tolerance was quite high.
She was really bored that time and she excused herself to take some air and other drinks while actually she just didn't want to listen the garbage talks of her workmates.
"A glass of wine, please," she said to the bartender, and sat carelessly on an empty chair.
She darted her vision toward any corners in the club, and then there was him. That gorgeous man who sat across her, drinking a glass of some random drinks Hani didn't know what the name was (she wasn't really a fan of drinks, right). They had an eye-contact but she immediately broke it - she didn't even know why did she break the eye-contact in the first place. But he really was awesome. His face complexion and even though he wasn't really tall, his body seemed okay, healthy and built up.
After finally succeeded on taking her eyes off the man, she went to the dance floor and danced with some random guy that she didn't even look at. She was playing with this guy teasingly - just like how she lived life. Charmingly, but also a sly one. She just really resembled a fox. She made out with him and made him fell under her charms, and just left him carelessly.
Hani couldn't sleep that day thinking about that fine man that sat across her, and for the first time praying to have a chance to meet that guy again.
Her prayer was being heard; she met that man as her seatmate in the bus. Even though it was only a small talk and she sounded like a clever, sly wench, she was actually blushing inside. She found it really cute when she saw the slight red tips on his cheeks and his ears. He was a financial staff on the office near Hongdae, she noted, how cute.
Two days after that day, Baekhyun met that girl again. The seat next to her was empty; like it was reserved for him. He smiled to himself, and quickly approached her. He caught her humming to his ballad songs, how cute.
"Oh, you again," she welcomed his presence with that little smirk like that day, but then turned into a warm smile, "financial staff-ssi?"
"Don't call me like that again next time you see me," now Baekhyun had that victory smile, and turned into a warm grin too, "I will be a financial manager soon. And well, I'm actually the writer and composer of the song you've been humming all day,"
"You're kidding me," she said with an uninterested expression displayed on her face, her eyes were staring straightly to Baekhyun's eyes making his stomach did some flips.
"Well, really," Baekhyun opened up his folder to take out a music sheet of the song Hani had been humming to. "This is the real music sheet of it. The partitur of that song,"
She immediately snatched it from Baekhyun's hand, making Baekhyun chuckled to himself how cute she was. She then acted like her fingers played a piano - dreamily, of course. A realization took over her and she looked up to Baekhyun with some amazement.
"What? You're that mysterious B?" she nearly screamed, making the other passengers looked at their way, in which she whispered sorry, sorry to them but with an excited glint. "Like, you're my idol? All of those upbeat songs that made the nugu groups went up and all that mushy ballad songs that made me sentimental, oh my, are you the writer and the composer?"
"Well, yes. But I think, this is your stop now?" Baekhyun glanced at the window, and she freaked out.
"Oh my god, yes, you're right," Hani glanced at the surroundings and immediately stood up, collecting her belongings. She snatched Baekhyun's phone and typed something fast on it, while Baekhyun just gazed at her weirdly. "Here, my name's Hani. Shim Hani. You send me a message in where and when, okay? Okay. Have a great day, B!"
"Have a wonderful day as well!" Baekhyun cheerfully replied and waved like a fool then turned to his phone. Hani named herself as beautiful doctor Shim Hani and Baekhyun added the emoji of pink hearts, grinned ear to ear by himself.
meet me at coffee shop in front of ur uni? well just text me after ur class is over (i actually feel like an ajussi trying to get a highschooler girl as a gf) - ur cool bus seatmate aka that financial staff guy
Hani stared at the message happily with a stupid wide grin on her face because who knew fate and luck crossed paths with her this way? She typed something and clicked send, with some evil smirk, but heading to the coffee shop anyway.
are you even sure i'm studying at that uni? ure so confident. btw u do look like a boring, old ajussi and im still a smart, young, and beautiful highschooler. so shoo away from me. :) (ps: class is over where r u) (17:20)
yes young princess ajussi will be right there <3 (17:21)
Baekhyun stepped out of the bus and quickly walked to the coffee shop with some confident steps and cheerful steps. He whistled his own songs - as weird as it sounded but he did it quite often when his mood was great. Like who even cares? It was his own song anyway, like you all had no right to judge him and the songs.
He stepped in the coffee shop to find the glowing girl and there she was - in the corner, but still glowing and stunning in her own ways. She was busy typing something to her phone that she didn't even notice Baekhyun had taken the seat next to her. He stared at her a little longer and she finally looked in Baekhyun's direction.
"When did you come? You're always managed to surprise me, suddenly being next to me," Hani scoffed, but welcomed him nevertheless. "But really, you're B?"
Baekhyun just nodded, then a silence engulfed the two of them. The coffee shop currently played Baekhyun's recently written song, his newest composition, a sexy one which he actually felt embarassed by the lyrics itself and him - like he possessed the enough amount of inspirations and imaginations to write and compose such erotic song.
"What are you going to do if I say I literally love this song, but too vulgar to sing in front of friends and colleagues?" Hani started, making Baekhyun felt all warm by the sudden confession - but embarrassed too, overall. It was just plainly erotic and in some points it sounded sickening. He didn't pretty much care though, that song ever won twice in several music shows.
"Well, it's great," Baekhyun said with a warm smile, "How about liking the writer of the song too?"
"No thank you," Hani quickly answered, turning Baekhyun's mouth from a handsome, warm smile into a childish pout and frowning. "By the way I'm really hungry. How about we go to the street vendor which sells delicious bibimbap? That one is pretty fantastic in taste and cheap too. Let's go there!"
"But promise me that we will know about each other better than before?"
"Obviously."
From what seemingly like an endless talk - finally it ended, when they both didn’t really want their ‘date’ to end. They really got to know about each other a little bit closer and deeper, but it was actually just like breaking the ice between two of them. Hani had a great humor taste and she was just awesomely funny and outgoing, but had some disciplines in her. A tricky one indeed.
As an intermezzo between things in their job, they told each other about the things that was going in each life.
"By the way, my advertisement just got commented by a person, which I think is really stupid," Baekhyun seemed interested immediately and the screen showed a really great apartment. "So this is about rent an apartment, then this person is just ridiculously asking that can this person rent this room for a day?”
“Um, what’s wrong with that?” he was offended, truly, because actually Hani was showing him his own comment. But overall he was feeling more embarrassed than offended, because -
“Well of course, it’s either he was just a horny bastard or a dumb one to begin with,” Hani started, puffing the air and took a bibimbap on her mouth, “If he wanted to do an one night stand, then do it in a love motel or booked a hotel for one night! Apartments for rent are minimum to be rented like 4 months and this guy is just- daebak.”
Baekhyun smiled, then laughed. “This situation really seems funny,”
“Well, I think it’s annoying, nevertheless,” Hani said, but staring at Baekhyun strangely because he didn’t stop laughing to himself. “Why are you still laughing? What’s really funny?”
“The one that commented in your ad is me,” he broke the news and stared shyly at Hani to see her reaction and she just showed a blank face for a split second - and broke into a really loud laugh that made people stared at her. She was laughing like a retarded whale and did some crazy clapping, and Baekhyun didn’t really have another choice than to join.
“What,” Hani said nonchalantly with a disbelief expression. “What, no. Let me just stuff these bibimbaps to my mouth and forget the things you have said and done.”
“But really, this Byun Baekhyun, B, asked you this!” Baekhyun roared with laughter while Hani was busy covering her face from embarrassment.
“I have a date with someone that is seemingly like a horny bastard or a dumb one,” Hani’s laugh finally faltered down, but still cracked a beautiful smile. “So that’s it? Here’s the end of our.. date?”
“Um, yes?” Baekhyun smiled, and cracked a grin, “Why? Are you sad?”
“Well, I think I’m going to the club, inviting friends and such,” Hani said nonchalantly, like it was a routine to do so, “I sold that government’s house, you know. The one on TV, that was incredibly great. Someone bought that with a really, really big amount of money, gotta share this with friends before they get envy and be such pains in the ass,”
“I think you should’ve said friends with apostrophe,” Baekhyun chuckled, and Hani nodded along. “Don’t be so drunk, I’m gonna text you to keep you company.”
“Ew, who needs a text friend when you can fuck and meet someone new in the club? Think like how humans are now, Baekhyun,” Hani said with a grin, but then continued, “By the way thank you for these dinner and those information I got about composing songs and practically your life, Byun-ssi, soon becoming a financial manager, a horny bastard that wants to rent an apartment for a day to fuck a girl?”
“Thank you as well, Shim-ssi, soon becoming an intern in the great hospital in the middle of the city, you’re-so-amazing-i-don’t-know-how-to-mock-you?” Baekhyun laughed and Hani too.
Soon they were walking to the nearby bus station, clearly hopping in the different buses. Hani’s bus was the first to stop at the station, but Hani just didn’t really want to go to the club, just desiring to enjoy the company of Baekhyun. But she really had to, so okay, let be it.
“Go in, girl,” Baekhyun encouraged Hani, made her stepped out of her train of thoughts, pushing her shoulder, “or you don’t want to leave me? That’s so sweet of you,”
Hani turned around for a sec and left a quick peck on Baekhyun’s cheek, making it immediately dusted by a light blush. She quickly got in the bus and the bus went to the next station after that - while both Hani and Baekhyun couldn’t take their minds off of each other.
Baekhyun called Chanyeol that night - or maybe morning. They were usually on the phone like at 2 a.m. and that was their usual time. Chanyeol usually went to a club in random days, and Baekhyun thought this must be it. He must’ve already met that flawless girl.
“Hi? Is it sober Chanyeol, delusional Chanyeol, or drunk Chanyeol that answer my call?” Baekhyun greeted in a chirpy voice, and not so long the back voice was Chanyeol burped into the call making Baekhyun sounded ews.
“Delusional?” Chanyeol guessed. Delusional was his state when he was being there - his mind was still really there, existed in the right place but were drunk too, but not drunk enough to be classified as the real ‘drunk’. “You know Baek, I met that girl again,”
“And I bought her a drink and she enjoyed it, okay, I think this must be fun and after this we’ll be like breaking the ice and talk about life,” Chanyeol said, voice was still clear and Baekhyun, being the great listener he was still stayed.
“But then she slurred about the man she had been crushing on these days. This man was so hardworking, she said, and I don’t know man I think I’m being delusional when she said hardworking I immediately thought of you.”
“You think too much about me and you drink too much,” Baekhyun just nonchalantly commented, and laughed anyways. “Aw, does our Park Chanyeol-ie think about Baekhyun-ie often?”
“Shut up you bastard,” Chanyeol roared with laughter. “But you are like the most hardworking person I know and she said it with a sincere tone - and maybe does she know you?”
“What’s her name?” Baekhyun was only half listening at that time - still writing and composing the best song to be presented for one of the top three entertainments the day after tomorrow.
It would be a cliché song, about a boy - since the singers were boygroup - that met a fantastic girl and immediately wanted to make her mine. So mainstream, right? But B’s lyrics had never failed to amaze the ones using his music, because there would always a plot twist exist.
“I don’t pretty much know, Baek, it’s all hazy in this world,” Chanyeol said, then slurring asking for another glass to a bartender.
“Stop drinking, you ass. I will come to there if you won’t fucking drag your ass out there by yourself.” Baekhyun warned, because Chanyeol’s body had ever passed out for drinking too much alcohol a day before an important meeting. And Baekhyun did a very, very great job on covering him as a second in command, when he was just a new employed staff in the next door company.
“Yes sir!” Chanyeol spoke formally, then continued, “Her name is Sh----”
Peeeep.
Baekhyun’s smartphone’s light dimmed, and displaying some goodbye logos along the way.
Oops, sorry Yeol.

In their sixth time eating together in a cheap street vendor that is recommended by people - Baekhyun got a call from the management’s representative saying that they will use the song to be the second title track. Even though it’s second, it’s enough for Baekhyun. The pay would be big.
In the same time, Hani got a call too, from a chaebol that had been constantly asking about the former president’s house - the one that she was helping selling it. The chaebol agreed on the price the former president had set up and tomorrow the money would be transferred.
They smiled at each other, sensing each other’s happiness. Their smiles went wider and wider - but the sincerity could be seen clearly.
Baekhyun’s happiness affected Hani’s, and Hani’s happiness affected Baekhyun’s.
Slowly their faces were getting closer and closer, the distance between them slowly decreased and decreased, until their noses bumped. They still smiled - soon both of them leaned in into a chaste, longing kiss.
Baekhyun got a message after that date, that made him chuckled alone in the bus.
you fucking tasted like the sushi you ate. (from: Beautiful Hani<3, 22:05)
Hani got a reply quickly, that made her heart raced against her ribs.
you tasted like your cheese ramen. and watch your language :)
btw i hope you don’t go to the club this night lol (from: B<3, 22:05)
She frowned at the last sentence though.
aw :( sorry. a friend with apostrophe invited me to the club this time, copying my habits to celebrate in the club after selling a chaebol’s house. lol, people. i will always remember our kiss, don’t worry. (Sent, 22:07)
Baekhyun received a call that was interrupting his good sleep that he didn’t actually have in his life - always having to work his ass off. But look at this call, crashing Baekhyun’s hope to sleep at least six hours for that night.
“What the fuck, man. I am actually sleeping in 2 AM, and here you are interrupting my really, really rare sleep.”
“Byun Baekhyun sleeping in 2 AM when it’s weekdays? Oh my, some things should’ve happened today, or these days,” Chanyeol amusedly replied, and Baekhyun could imagine his slightly mocking face. “And you didn’t even tell me anything anymore, yet you still call me your one and only bestfriend.”
“So what’s actually up? I hope you call me for some relevant, important things - and not incoherent things.”
“You know, I met that fucking girl again, and we talked,” Chanyeol started, making Baekhyun’s ears perked up in excitement to hear his bestfriend’s story. “And this night no one is really drunk. And she agrees on having some coffee this afternoon and you know, I am just feeling like I have to tell you this.”
“So, our Chanyeol finally find the right girl? The one?” Baekhyun teased, resulting a whiny Chanyeol. “By the way I also kissed a girl today. In these two weeks we are like flirting and having dinner together like almost every night.”
“Oh my fuck, I was already forgot when was the last time you talked about girls.” Chanyeol mocked Baekhyun, but he just laughed it off because it was really true. Baekhyun himself didn’t really have the so-called first love, and even if he had some relationships, he only did it for fun.
“And also!” Baekhyun started, “you know TOP Entertainment? One of the big three in this country?”
“Yes, of course. Last week we agreed that my company would sponsor the boygroup that would debut soon. They sounded great and looked, um, compromising, so I gave them a chance. What about them? Did they use your song to be a title track? Really?”
“The second title track, to be exact,” Baekhyun said with a big smile, “but I am just feeling so happy, nevertheless.
That soon, the name B would be written in one of TOP’s artists’ album and it’s so - exciting.”
“It sounds nice, that your hardworking habit seems to be paid off by the results you’re getting these days,” Chanyeol said, and then the noise of papers being handled was heard in Baekhyun’s ears. “I have some paperwork to do, so Baek, I’ll hang up first. Let’s celebrate your success on Friday night in our fave club?”
“Of course. Bye.”
“Hey,” Baekhyun greeted, making Hani that was busy on her phone startled by the sudden greeting.
Baekhyun then went closer to Hani’s phone because she was too immersed in phone like there was something incredibly astonishing in that phone while there was a blinding, valuable jewel beside her.
What was Baekhyun narrating earlier?
So which coffee shop will we go tonight? Near Apgujeong train station or where? ;) (From: stranger in the club lol, 07:29)
“I’m feeling somewhat -”
“Don’t be jealous,” she chuckled, guessing the missing part of the sentence. “This guy is just flirting with me in the club because I danced with him some nights ago. I know he is a really rich guy but he acts like he’s not one. And for that reason I dislike him already, cause I really love honesty amongst of all and that guy is just breaking the number one rule in my life.”
“I don’t know you are respecting the name of honesty that much,” Baekhyun commented after listening carefully for some moments to Hani’s explanation. “But hey, I am not jealous. It’s just what- you kissed a boy in the night and you went into a date with another in the day. Don’t feel offended by it, like I mean-"
“I know,” Hani said softly, and then got up because this was her stop. “I’d rather the boy I kissed in the night than the one I flirted with - because that boy, I can kiss him not just in the night.”
With a teasing wink, she got off the bus while humming B’s cheerful songs in the way to her campus.
but baekhyun, can u pick me up after i have some coffee with this guy? or maybe i will text you to help me if the guy is unbearably boring - and act as my boyfie. how does that sound? (07:49)

I will do both of them even if u don’t ask. (07:54)
Baekhyun was on the bus when Hani called - signaling she needed help.
“Hello, Baek,” she said with a hurried tone, “He was ridiculously hilarious and fun, but there’s a thing I don’t really like. He is so lying about his occupation.”
“Then confront it! I am still on the bus at this moment, then when I take the time, you confront him like you must be fucking lying you jerk i dislike liars,” Baekhyun said with fury, acting with all he had but then turning into the normal Baekhyun. “Why? The Hani I know is a quick-witted fox, or maybe you’d fallen head over heel for him?”
“Fuck no, Baek,” Hani said, half shouted. “I know why the fuck he is lying. It is to attracting me, and just to hide his personality. He seems like a heir of the famous company I forgot the name and you’d better come here okay? I’ve tried reaching you for a few times but you didn’t fucking answer. Come on, time’s ticking.”
She hang up, making Baekhyun hoped the bus would soon stop in front of the coffee shop.
i sit near the door in case something bad happens HAHHA come onnnn (17:50)
Baekhyun opened the coffee shop after fixing himself up while watching his reflection on somebody’s car window that parked in front of the shop. He stepped in the coffee shop as the aroma of coffee processed in his nose - as his eyes searching everywhere for a Shim Hani with a guy that seemed like a heir of the famous company.
Instead of seeing Hani, he spotted a Park Chanyeol drinking a caramel macchiato in his right hand and left hand in his pants - a sign that he was secretly nervous. With a girl with a backside that he knew well.
A realization took over him and he stuck in the position.
The girl Chanyeol talked about these days was Shim Hani.
Hani glanced worriedly at every corners in the coffee shop because the last message Baekhyun said was he was already in front of the shop, trying to look presentable as her boyfriend. But no one had approached them.
“Are you waiting for someone or have an appointment after this? You are always checking the time.” Chanyeol casually said, and then added, “Or, you are bored with me and ask your friend to help you get out from this scene? I’m sorry if I’m boring, though.”
“Oh, it’s not like that,” Hani stepped out of her long thoughts - but really, where was Baekhyun? “My friend just said that he was near in this area and would come visit me after I meet you, but he didn’t show up.”
She politely smiled, and half listening to the conversation after that, and texting like a hundred messages of where are you to WHERE ARE YOU YOU DAMN JEEEERRRRKKKK to I FUCKING NEED YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
And Baekhyun just replied that, with a really, really broken heart five hours later. After stuffing up all his favorite food - from ice cream to Korean’s meat - he came into a decision that Chanyeol could have her.
As silly as it sounded, Chanyeol deserved the girl more than him. Chanyeol needed a companion more, considering he was a heir of a ridiculously famous company that often went into a formal party that sometimes needed to bring a woman, considering he was a big boss that had a big amount of stress and needed someone to comfort and cheer him up when the business didn’t work well.
While Baekhyun was just a mere financial staff that was living in a poor family.
Sorry, a sudden important meeting came up and I had to attend. Hope you have a nice date with him.
(p.s.: he really looks nice not like mE HAHAHAHA) (23:07)
Should I let you go, he typed. But he immediately deleted again.
Should I be honest to you that I know your date today and he's my fucking bestfriend and I said to him I'll be rooting for him and whoever girl he fell in love with - and thats you - but I love you too much to root for my bestfriend?
As Baekhyun realized he really, really fell in love with Shim Hani, a smart, quick-witted, playful girl, the successful broker but chasing her dreams with so much spirit and never giving up, he didn't realized that he accidentally clicked the send button.
Fuck it.
Luck was never (completely) on his side.
