Exposed (2/2)
"Hyung did you pay for me as well?!" Tao exclaimed with glee.
But Baekhyun shot it down right away.
"You owed me of course."
"Owie hyung!!"
"Don't hyung me."
"Hyun-"
"Umm. This love potion one is really nice Jamie."
"Hy-"
"I'm glad you like it sunbae."
"H-"
"The sherbet is yummy too."
"You could go eat ice cream with me next time sunbae. I know all the nice flavors."
"We totally should." Baekhyun smiled before scooping a small potion of the cookies and cream flavor.
"Don't ignore me!" Tao hissed.
"Did you hear something sunbae?" Jamie quizzed.
"No I didn't. Did you Jamie?" Baekhyun played along.
"Don't do that!!!" Tao yelled, voice echoed across the small empty shop as the other two laughed aloud at his frustration.
"Alright. We'll stop." Baekhyun chuckled.
And when Tao kept maintaining his pissed-off face, Jamie sighed.
"Sorry sunbae." She smiled apologetically while offering some ice cream with her spoon.
Tao beamed and accepted the offer without questioning. He squeaked as the strong sourness hit his taste bud with no mercy.
"Gaaahh!!! Jamie!!! Ugh... So sour..."
"No it's not." Jamie frowned as she ate a portion of strawberry lemonade.
Baekhyun snorted when he noticed that evil glint in her eyes. Tao was as gullible as he always had been.
"Poor our maknae. Here." Baekhyun cooed as he offered a small scoop of love potion flavor though Tao looked at him skeptically (while Jamie giggled discretely), he ate it after all.
"Hyung! That one is sour too! You two are bullies!!" He yelled and pointed a finger at them both accusingly.
"Bullies? We're the kindest people you've ever met I let you know that." Baekhyun retorted and slung an arm over Jamie's shoulder as she reciprocated the action.
"Devils... I should never have agreed to meet up with you hyung. You're bad influence on her."
"No I'm not. Am I a bad influence Jamie?"
"No you're not sunbae."
"See?"
“Ugh. Fine. Whatever you two are both devils.” Tao huffed and crossed his arms childishly.“Sunbae. You’re such a baby.”“I am not! I'm a full ledge man!” Tao argued."Pfft. What man can't handle tiny bit of sour?" Jamie huffed as she propped another spoonful of ice cream inside her mouth and moaned in delight. "You sure are different from when we first meet." Tao pointed out, scrunching his face up every bite of that dreadfully sour ball of death. Jamie couldn't help but chuckled mentally. The older was always so childish. She started to wonder how he behave towards the older members of EXO. Probably a whiny panda. Baekhyun sighed as he slid lower down his seat, watching the not-so-subtly glances from Jamie to the panda across her who was munching on his ice cream not-as-happy-as-ice-cream-supposed-to-make-you-feel. He wondered how the male could be so oblivious of the affection the cat girl had for him. It's as obvious as day. He's sure even the usually blank Yixing would notice."Hyung!""Huh?" "I asked you what time it was. But you was like blanking out or something." Tao frowned."Oh. Sorry.""It's 9 already." Jamie's eyes widened as she glanced at her phone. Time flew. "Wow. We hung around for 3 hours." Tao gasped. "You need to go back Jamie.""I indeed do." Jamie agreed in a heartbeat and stood up. The trio hurried their way out of the shop as the two male exited without sparing a glance to flirty looks shot their way."Time sure flies." Baekhyun commented."Yea. It was fun though." Jamie quirked a small smile which made Tao ruffled her hair furiously. "You two-faced dork. How come you are so kind to everyone but me." "Sunbae! Don't mess up my hair! I told it tangles together easily." Jamie grumbled as she untangled a messy ball."Owww! I hate you sunbae!" She yelped as the strands were tugged harshly against her scalp. "Okay okay I'm sorry. Slowly. Slowly untangle them. Don't tug on them so hard." "I can't see where it got tangle though." She frowned then suddenly yelled at Tao. "I told you didn't I! It's not a girl thing if you're wondering. My hair does got tangled together easily. Now it becomes this freaking ball! It hurts like hell!! Try getting your hair pull or you won't know how it feels!""Right right. I'm sorry! I didn't know it would hurt that much." Tao clapsed his hands together as the feline girl threatened to yanked his hair out. "You guys are such children." Bakehyun shook his head as he pushed Tao aside and started to examined the ball of hair. The bicker stopped immediately as Baekhyun wordlessly starting to untangle the ball of hair carefully. He would occasionally asked Jamie whether it was painful. She would nodded silently with tinted pink cheeks. Witnessing Baekhyun's sweet gesture, Tao felt his stomach bubbled in discomfort. He realized he didn't appreciate the close proximity between the two, how Jamie shyly glanced at Baekhyun or how Baekhyun smiled so kindly at her. He frowned when a small yelp escaped from Jamie."Sorry but it's alright now." Baekhyun shot Jamie an apologetic smile."No it's okay. Thank you sunbae." Jamie smiled shyly. "And you." Baekhyun turned to Tao who cowered at his hyung's harsh tone. "Stop with that thing you do." "N-ne hyung." "Let's go home." The oldest announced and went ahead with Jamie in tow. Jamie didn't forget to stuck her tongue out at the panda who in turn gaped at the young girl. "Wow. Just wow. I've been fooled. The biggest fool of the year." Tao mumbled to himself in astonishment. "You sure are scary little kitty." They made it home without much dispute. Tao and Baekhyun stopped to drop Jamie off at her apartment before going back to their own place. Baekhyun didn't forget to give her his number though, much to Tao's displeasure. He didn't like Jamie having other guys phone numbers however took pride in being several steps before his hyung."Call me okay?" Baekhyun winked caused Jamie slapped him not-so-lightly on the forearm. Baekhyun shrieked as Jamie quickly apologized for her careless action and uncontrollable strength. "You sure could pack a punch for a girl." Baekhyun pouted as he rubbed the damaged area. "I'm sorry sunbae! I swear I didn't mean it." On the other hand, Tao tried to control his laughter that his mouth twitched weirdly. Jamie noticed the strange motion so she decided to ask her but before she could, the male burst. Baekhyun glared at his dongsaeng made him zipped his lips immediately. Tao hightailed towards the elevator before Baekhyun raised his fist.Jamie chortled made Baekhyun chuckled as well. He straightened up and patted Jamie's head. "I mean it though. Call me okay?" "Eh?""Whenever you need a listening ear, call me." Baekhyun made a telephone sign and held it close to his ears. Jamie nodded with a small smile as she copied his action. Baekhyun laughed at her cute actions. "Now I know why Tao like hanging around you." Baekhyun patted her head the last time as Jamie gave him a confused look, before turning towards the elevator directions where Tao was waiting, if he dared to."Thank you sunbae." She, nonetheless, called after Baekhyun who turned back and saluted with his two fingers.She watched his figure slowly disappeared around the corner. A sigh escaped her lips as she opened the apartment.It was tiring day but she decided that she loved every bit of it. It's been while since she felt so happy and loved. Mostly loved. Author's NoteSorry guys for not uploading for a long time. I was in holiday mode. I went to the capital of Vietnam, Ha Noi and spent time with my mother's side relatives so I didn't have time to update. I hope this chapter is enough for your feels. Baekhyun, being the cutie he is was friendly to Jamie though Tao thought he was too touchy. Can Tao and Sehun handle the fact Jamie has another male figure in her life? The next chapter will be confrontation in disguise as a casual lunch date. Look forward to it. Anyways, I forgot to give you guys an image of how I imagine In Hye, our newest addition. So here you go.(I don't own this picture. The graphic belongs to its rightful owner.)I have no idea who she is though. In Hye is a mature character. She usually doesn't give a shit about anything but her career, her studying and her little brother. Anybody was able to guess who the male she talked to was? I tried to be secretive. I hope it works!!! Muahahahhaha!!~~ Ehem... Anyhow, I will try to escalate things a little. As in making it more interesting not speeding things up. If you have any requests, leave them below in the comment section. Or just comment for the sake of commenting. I appreciate it guys. Thanks! That is all for now. Toodles!!
