▏TAEYEON'S POV
I entered the room with Yoon sitting in front fo the television while eating some banana chips on the couch.
"I'm home," I said that caught her attention from the television. It was playing something like a trailer of something. "Is that a trailer or what? It actually looks interesting..." I absentmindedly said.
"It is indeed a trailer, Taeyeon-eonnie," Yoon said. "Ah, right, I can call you 'eonnie,' right?" She hesitantly asked, seemingly surprised with what she said a while back.
"Of course, I don't see why not," I replied, sitting beside her while the trailer, or teaser, or whatever, continues to play on the television. "What trailer is that, anyway?" I asked, getting thrilled as the trailer progresses. There's just something in this that pulls me.
"It's Baekhyun-sunbae's drama, the one we're shooting here?" Yoon replied, looking at me with an expression that says, 'How could you not know?' "You've never watched any drama before, right? Not even once?" Yoon asked me, the expression she wore seconds ago slowly disappearing and being exchanged by her usual one.
"No, I had no interest in any of them," I stated, surprised that it was really Baekhyun's drama. He popped out on the screen after Yoon informed me. "But there's something that pulls me in..." I added. "You know? Like it's telling me to just watch it even though I really have not even met or knew the actors?" I said, trying to explain what I felt when I was watching the trailer.
"Of course, the best of the best are working together for this drama," Yoon said, her eyes turning somewhat sad, or envious. "One of them is Baekhyun-sunbae, of course. He is such a talented actor. If not for the director of the first drama he actually starred in, no one would see that Byun Baekhyun now. He knew exactly what he was worth. But me, I don't even know why I was brought to be one of the cast, I don't even think I'm talented enough." Yoon said, looking down her hands like it is the most beautiful thing in the world.
"Thanks to that director, people could see Baekhyun acting on the television," I said, agreeing with Yoon's words. "And about you, we'll see about that." I added, confusing her.
"What do you mean?" Yoon asked, one of her eyebrows raised in curiousity. "Are you gonna watch the drama?" She asked once again, pasting a really baffled expression on her beautiful face.
"Yeah, I would. Yuju asked me to, well, she actually dared me to. But I guess doing the dare wouldn't be that bad considering that the trailer already caught my attention," I said, shrugging my shoulders. "You should stop paying attention to the hate comments, too, they don't know you. Plus, you have people like, um, me, for example, to see who you really are. You gotta prove them wrong instead of making them feel like they're right about you." I added, raising my phone that was open to one of sites where some of her haters post their comments about her. I just got lost to this site earlier, so I decided to take a look.
"Thank you, eonnie. Anyways, I'll be going to bed now. I was actually just waiting for the trailer, whether it would come out or not. So, good night!" Yoon said and went straightly to her room, and so did I after a few seconds.
Once I entered my room, I charged my phone and decided to take a short cold bath before getting changed to my comfortable clothes.
Coming out of the bathroom all dressed and hair still kinda wet, I went to my desk where the PC and printer was placed, along with my laptop, and got a hold of my laptop that was resting just beside the PC monitor and turned in on before skipping to my bed where I waited for my messenger to load.
After a few seconds, the messenger was finally fully loaded so I decided to reply to some of the university-related GCs before receiving a message from Yuju.

I woke up and went out of my room to realize that Yoon was about to leave the dorm, books in hand and the bag she brought with me and Chanyeol on her back.
"Good morning, eonnie. I prepared some breakfast and left you some by the counter. It isn't that extravagant or what, but I hope you'd enjoy. Also, good bye since I'm running late," Yoon said as quickly as she could before opening the door and literally dashing through the hallways. "BYE!" I heard her shout once more from the outside before shaking my head and chuckling at that cute antic of hers.
I checked the clock only to see that it's quarter to seven, and my classes starts at nine a.m., so I sat down the couch and relaxed before going to the counter to see what Yoon had prepared.
On the counter, I saw two pieces of bacon, a scrambled egg, some rice, and two pieces of bread. This would do, for sure.
I texted a short thank you to Yoon before I started eating breakfast and before my phone rang, only to see that Baekhyun was calling me this early in the morning.
"Hello?" I answered, sitting myself down the tall stool before taking a small bite from the bread.
"Yo, Taeyeon. Good morning!" I heard Baekhyun beamed on the other line. "Did you have breakfast already?" He asked even before I could reply to his greeting.
"Good morning to you, too, Byun Baekhyun," I said before standing up my seat, remembering that I haven't made myself some coffee, yet. "And, yeez, I'm actually currently eating my breakfast. How about you? You have a flight today, right?" I added, pouring some hot water on my cup.
"I do, but that would be later, hm, around noon or something. I needed to attend a company meeting first before taking off," He replied, sounding way energetic than before. "Alright. I just called to check if you had breakfast already. Seems like I called on the right time. Enjoy your food and have a nice day, adorable jelly! Bye~" Baekhyun added, his cheerful voice never failing to give me energy even this early in the morning.
"Alright. Good bye. You, too, take care," I said. "See you in three days or so?" I added before I heard him say 'bye' once again and then hang up.
After that, I ate my breakfast in peace and serenity, together with the good vibe Baekhyun had just gave me through the call, while I wonder how closer we got throughout the days we've spent.
