"Baekhyun... Am I really that ugly?" You asked hesitantly, your voice slightly shaking with nervousness.
A heavy silence fell between the two of you, your breath got stuck in your throat as you watched Baekhyun's expression develop into a deep frown. He was clearly taken back with your question, it was too sudden, and it had confused him.

"What do you mean?" He then asked, locking his troubled gaze with yours, shyly you gulped and found a sudden interest in your hands on your lap.
A light blush crept on your cheeks as you tried to say the words.

"Before, in the corridor, you said I was an ugly witch..." You managed to mutter, regretting it immediately. You had surely sounded stupid. It was something so little and silly, normally you wouldn't take it seriously. This time it had come out of him, and it had bothered you much more than it had should.
Baekhyun's frown disappeared with his eyes widening, his mouth slightly gaping as he remembered the words. He felt a bit guilty that you had actually taken that personally.

"Oh- Oh no no no!" He urged and straightened himself into a proper position.

"Of course you're not that ugly! Heck, you're not ugly at all, oh my gosh why did I even say that.." He babbled, the words rolling quickly of his tongue, with frustration hearable in his voice. Seeing him trying to assure you he didn't mean what he said made you feel relieved.

You couldn't help the little smile tugging on the corner of your lips as you heard him insist on how sorry he was and that he didn't mean it.

"Ahhh I'm so sorry Y/n, I really didn't mean that..." He whispered softly, his lips puckered into a pout.

You were spacing out about how he was madly trying to assure you that he didn't think that way, maybe you were a bit out of the friend zone limit after all. Though since you were fantasizing about your possibilities with Baekhyun you realized something. You had no intention in liking him, so why were you thinking about him in this way. You scolded yourself for letting your heart get the best of you.

In the meantime you were pondering with your thoughts, you had completely forgotten that Baekhyun was still sitting there, apologizing in panic, thinking you were really sad and mad at him. You not giving him answer didn't help him understand that wasn't the case right now.

"Y/n - aaaah!" Baekhyun whined, waking you up from your deep thoughts. A little gasp escaped your lips as you felt his strong arms slip around your waist. He leaned his face closer to yours, hugging you tightly. He rubbed his cheek childishly against yours, making you blush at the sudden skinship.
"Forgive me pleaseee." Baekhyun once more said and you couldn't help but smile at his behavior.

"Whatever it's okay I guess.." You then said Baekhyun's expression delighted as he pressed himself closer to you, tightening the hug a bit more.

"Thank you, I promise I won't ever do that again!" He assured excitedly as his lips landed on your cheeks, leaving sloppy kisses on them. The action had made your interns explode, you would have squealed, but your breath got stuck in your throat, in that moment you seemed to have forgotten how to breath. Him kissing your cheeks wasn't so new, but neither a habit. And this time he had really caught you off guard.

Your heart was drumming loudly inside of your chest as you felt your body slightly shake under his touch, even if you hated these reactions of yours, you couldn't help but love the way it felt to have him near.
He pulled away with a childish grin playing on his lips, as he looked at you, his eyes sparkling with your reflection. The moment could have turned out in something romantic, but you declined that opportunity and crossed your sleeve across your cheek instead.

Baekhyun pouted at your action, disbelief resting on his features.
"Why'd you remove my kiss." Baekhyun sulked, clearly unsatisfied. His face had looked extremely cute and silly, you had the urge to laugh but you just shrugged it off.

"It was sloppy and I don't want your saliva on my cheek you know." You explained with a little smirk, and Baekhyun's pouting face got even more upset.

"yaaah!" He whined.

With a slight glare, Baekhyun did your same actions, rubbing the sleeve of his hoodie against his plump lips, in order to dry them.
He then leaned close again, pecking your cheek once.
The boy leaned back with a pout and looked away, you could see the faint blush on his cheeks as he spoke.

"How, how was that one? Not sloppy right? " he muttered through his puckered lips.

You looked up and hummed approvingly.
"Hmm... Sure."
