The barbecue restaurant was bustling with customers nearing midnight. It was incredibly popular, especially at night. There were only two seats left, a strange coincidence. Perhaps fate was trying to tell me something. Baekhyun poured me a drink with utmost respect, making me a little uncomfortable. I told him not to worry about my position, that we were just friends having drinks. Only then did he open up, and we started drinking and eating heartily together.
"I didn't expect Director Bian to have such a high alcohol tolerance. He drank five bottles of liquor and still didn't change color. You don't usually attend company dinners, so I didn't really know your drinking capacity. Today I've seen it for myself. So why don't you come to the dinner?"
Baekhyun just smiled, then we poured each other a drink, downed it in one gulp, and let out a satisfied cry.
"I don't really like drinking outside. I'm afraid I might do something wrong when I'm drunk, and I don't want to cause trouble. If I'm drinking with someone outside, that person must be very important to me."
I didn't understand that sentence at the time; I just kept drinking, one glass after another.
I don't know if it was from being drunk or what, but I couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep. I don't know how much time passed, but I felt a pair of hands stroking me. I opened my eyes abruptly. The surroundings were unfamiliar. Byun Baekhyun was lying on the same bed as me. I looked into his eyes. Perhaps the effects of the alcohol hadn't worn off yet, or perhaps because I also had feelings for him, my face flushed, and my heart pounded rapidly. I then noticed how gentle his eyes were, as if the beautiful star that had vanished that day was reflected in them, and the hidden moon seemed to be illuminating us with its faint light. It was just the two of us, and the atmosphere was incredibly ambiguous.
He kissed me, just a fleeting touch, then pulled away. I stared at him, stunned. He could see my surprise; I knew he was waiting for my response. The next second, I kissed him back, just as lightly. He covered his mouth to hide the corners of his mouth that were turning up in a smile.
"Baekhyun, I'll consider it."
"I will wait for you."
I've decided to forget Oh Sehun, I'm thinking...
