FT. Baekhyun
-.-.-.-
'Ah... They are finally out.' you said to yourself and let out a happy sigh, eyeing the wonderful shades of nudes, pinks and reds of lipstick that you have just launched. You scanned through your bag, and took out your newly launched lipstick product. It was a wonderful mixture of nude and coral, making a gorgeous and feminine shade. You sailed the bullet along your lips, dabbing it perfectly as you looked at the mirror on the make up stands. Finally finishing your small touch up, you walked along deeper into the aisles. As you skimmed through the aisles of make up and colognes, you accidentally bumped into a person, making him spill his coffee. He wore sunglasses, tinted black that blocked his eyes and a beanie to hide what seemed to be his ruffled hair.
"Oh my gosh!" you exclaimed. "I am so so sorry!" you apologised causing him to grin.
"Oh no. Seriously it's okay. It's not everyday I bump into a gorgeous girl." he replied, creating a blush on your cheeks.
"Let me replace your coffee." you announced.
"You don--"
"No, I insist. I must replace your coffee." you cut him off and dragged him outside the store.
"Alright then, If you really insist." He gave in and followed you.
Arriving at the shop, you ordered the usual coffee frappuccino and a carrot cake to give to the guy. You asked the man to order what he wanted, and he ordered a grande iced americano. You paid for the drinks and food and went towards the milk stands. You took a tissue out of the stack of tissues, took a pen out and wrote a small note for him. The cashier suddenly called your name, and you instinctively put the tissue in between your lips, causing your lipstick to print onto the tissue. You took the things you ordered, placed your note into the brown bag where the cake is and walked to where the man stood.
"Here." You handed him a bag with a slice of cake inside and his coffee. Your phone suddenly rang, and you answered within the third ring.
"Sweetie! What's up? Oh okay, I'll be there!" you said and looked at the man.
"I have to go. Enjoy your coffee." you smiled and walked away quickly.
"Wait! I didn't catch your name!" he tried but you were already too far away. "Aigoo. That girl." the guy said, and smiled to himself. The guy then walked out of the shop, and went back to the department store to look for Chanyeol.
'I wonder if that was her boyfriend. Sweetie? Hmm..' the guy wondered to himself.
~~~~~~~
"Baek! Where were you?! Why'd you suddenly leave me? Do you have any idea how weird I looked at make up stalls?!" Chanyeol shouted from behind him, causing Baekhyun to jump.
"Yah! Don't just casually shout at someone! I was at the cafe, a girl bumped into me and spilled my coffee. So she bought me a new one." Baekhyun said and lifted the bag up.
"There's cake too." Baekhyun finished.
"Well aren't you lucky!" Chanyeol continued, sarcasm filling his voice.
"Whatever. Should we head out?" Baekhyun asked and Chanyeol agreed.
Baekhyun pulled out the cake from the bag as he took a seat on the passenger side. As he pulled out the plastic container, a piece of tissue fell to his lap. He picked it up and saw a message written on the soft material.
'Hey, I hope you like the cake I chose! Again, I'm so sorry for the coffee. Hehe, hope to see you again? If that ever happens.' Baekhyun read and smiled. He eyed the tissue and stared at the spot of lipstick that was imprinted onto the tissue.
'Well. I hope to see you too, Lipstick girl.' Baekhyun assumed to himself, and they drove away from the mall.

After a week of the coffee incident, you asked yourself who the man was. You took a quick shower and quickly put on some make up, a fresh pair of jeans, a cute tank top and a kimono to match your outfit. You wore flats for a simple look and headed to the mall, lightly hoping to see the guy again. You took your car keys and your purse, making sure you had everything you needed. You walked towards your car and drove to the mall.
As you arrived, your stomach rumbled like a whales call. Instantly remembering how you haven't had lunch yet, you strode towards your favourite coffee shop. You ordered a panini and the usual coffee frappuccino and went to your usual spot. You ate your panini, savouring the taste of the succulent meatballs and tomatoes, and finished your small meal with a sip from your drink. After sipping from your cup, you looked at the straw placed in the glass and saw prints of lipstick on the white plastic. You took your lipbullet out and skimmed it along your lips, and looked at your lips with a compact mirror. You placed a tissue in between your lips, marking the tissue with the lipstick. Finally finishing, you stood up from your seat and thanked the cashier for the meal, walking towards the department store as you exited the shop.

"Should we get a coffee, Baek?" Chanyeol asked the dazed Baekhyun.
"Yah! Byun Baekhyun! What's up with you? You've been out of it recently!" Chanyeol interrogated.
"Ah it's nothing really. Come on, let's get coffee." Baekhyun avoided and walked towards a coffee shop.
"Chanyeol, you order, I'll get a table." Baekhyun commanded and sat on the only empty table. As he arrived, he looked at the empty plate and cup on the table, asking himself why they haven't cleaned this up yet. As he continued observing the table, he caught sight of a slightly crumpled tissue that contained a print of a familiar lipstick shade. He grabbed it and surveyed the tissue, knowing it was the same colour of the one he got from the girl a week ago. He ran towards the counter, startling Chanyeol from his sudden appearance.
"Dude, who sat on that table?" Baekhyun queried.
"Ah. She's a usual. Her name is Eun Ri. Why'd you ask, sir?" the tills man replied and looked at Baekhyun, who was now smiling.
"Ah I was just wondering. Do you know where she went?" Baekhyun asked, eager to know where you went. The cashier pointed outside, then to the left, gesturing the way to the department store.
"I'll be back, Chanyeol!" Baekhyun exclaimed as he ran out, leaving a confused Chanyeol in the store.
Baekhyun rushed towards the department store, frantically looking left and right to see if you were to be found. He entered, and looked at the most random spots to look for you. Immediately remembering where he had bumped into you, he dashed towards the make up section of the store, and he found you speaking to a saleslady with a smile.
"Eun Ri!" Baekhyun shouted, and your head propped up, looking at the wrong direction. "Over here, Eun Ri!" Baekhyun called again, finally gaining your attention. He walked towards you and smiled.
"Hi.. uh. Do I know you?" You asked and Baekhyun beamed a huge grin.
"Yeah. Remember the coffee incident?"
"Oh. OOHH!" you said, dragging the o's. "Yes, I remember! Oh my gosh, hi! I'm Eun Ri, as you now know! How did you know my name?" you asked, muddled as to why he knew your name.
"The cashier in the cafe told me. I'm Baekhyun by the way. I finally met you. Haha, nice to finally meet you." Baekhyun continued, offerring his hand for you to shake.
"Hey, can I ask? Do you have a boyfriend? Cos last time you called someone 'sweetie'." Baekhyun asked, remembering the way you called someone that way through the phone.
"Oh no. I don't! That was my sister! haha, Why'd you ask that?"
"Nothing. Just plain curiosity." he remarked.
Your phone suddenly rang, and you read a text from your sister asking for you to come to your office.
"Hey. I have to go. My sister needs me. Nice seeing you again!" You smiled and started walking away, only to be stopped by Baekhyun's strong hand as he pulled you back.
"Wait, before you go.. Can I get your number?" Baekhyun asked and you instantly agreed. You handed him your phone, with him doing the same and he input his number as fast as lightning, you did the same and saved your digits and gave his phone back. You walked away, waving at him.
As you arrived at the parking lot, your phone suddenly rang, an unfamiliar ringtone resounded in your pocket. You took it out and saw a message from Baekhyun. You opened it and smiled at his text, making you blush in the process.
'How about a date then, lipstick girl? - Baekhyun xo'
