A fee days have passed.Baekhyun is still on his mission of getting close to Annie.And in these few days they have actually become a bit close.It's hard to not become close if you have to be with each other everyday for four hours.

They still fight and bicker but it has become tolerable to Baekhyun.He doesn't feel like smacking her every five seconds like he used to in the past.That's a big improvement for Baekhyun.She also talks to Baekhyun a lot about different topics when they go on to do different things Joonmyun assigns them too.But somehow she always avoids the personal questions. Baekhyun hates it.Because of what he was trying to initiate this friendliness,this wasn't helping that.

Baekhyun even made a chart of what points he needs to know about Annie.Her real name,what she does,who she is and everything.

In these few days Baekhyun found a really weird thing about himself.Annie is a mystery and a challenge to him.Because of her,he failed for the first time in him life.He should hate her but he weirdly doesn't.Annie is pulling him in and he is getting more and more interested about her.He wants to talk to this weird feeling to someone.He wants to ask if this is normal but most members of him teammates are idiots according to him.There's no point of asking Joonmyun or Namjoon,they would quote something poetic and he won't be able to fathom that crap.Taehyung is out with Jungkook.And the rest are just...

Baekhyun sighed.But Baekhyun really had to talk to someone about this feeling.So he decided to visit the most reasonable and wise person in the team in the evening that could help him.

Baekhyun knocked on the door of the office room and took a deep breath.

"Come in,"The person on the inside said.

Baekhyun opened the door and entered.

"Well,that's a surprise,"Irene said after looking at him and then turning to keepone of the many guns in her office on the respective holder.

"Hi,Irene noona and Joy..."Baekhyun said while looking at Joy who was utterly astonished by Baekhyun coming here unannounced.

"Hi?"Joy asked still unsure.

"I came here because I needed to discuss something.."Baekhyun said while looking at Irene.

"I figured.What might that be?"Irene asked while cleaning a gun.

Baekhyun looked at Joy,"You need to leave."

"But I want to stay,"Joy said,"I also want to know what's up!"

Baekhyun frowned at her.

"Come on,Oppa,I won't tell anyone.I promise!"Joy said,"Can't you trust me for once?"

"No,out,"Baekhyun said while sitting on a chair.

Joy sighed and got up to leave.

After she closed the door Irene kept the gun down and said while turning around,"There's a high chance that Joy is eavesdropping our conversation from outside.She's honestly really shocked that you came here so suddenly.Don't worry.I would make sure she doesn't spill anything.Trust me."

Baekhyun nodded.He knows when she says anything she would do it.

Irene then sat on her chair across Baekhyun,"So Tell me,how may I help?"

Baekhyun sighed,"It's a bit embarrassing to be asking this..but..."

"Don't worry..tell me."

Baekhyun took a deep breath and told Irene what was up.Irene listened to him carefully without pausing him.After he was done he looked at her,"So what do you think?"

"Joonmyun was right,"Irene said while smiling.

Baekhyun raised his eyebrows,"About what?"

Irene shook her head,"Nothing.Listen Baekhyun,you are attracted to her.You think of her as..."

Baekhyun shook his head.Taehyung said the same thing that night.And he doesn't like that.He wants to think of Annie just as a challenge.He still doesn't trust her completely.He still thinks that she might be a spy.This isn't the conclusion he wants.

"I don't think.."

"No,you do.I think everyone has seen the way you look at her.Baekhyun,it's the first time a woman or anyone has challenged you like this.It's normal for you to feel intrigued.And she's indeed one very interesting girl.And really beautiful too.And you haven't been involved in any relationships in awhile.It's natural for you to start liking her."

"Like?Oh hell no!!Me?Like her?That.."Baekhyun freaked out,"..can't happen."

Irene smiled.It's the first time she's seen Baekhyun like this,"Fine,Let's not use the word 'like',let's use 'interested romantically'?"

"NO!That's worse.."

"Fine..then let's just say attracted.Is that okay?"

Baekhyun sighed,"What do I do now?"

Before Irene could answer Joy bursted into the room.

"What do you mean 'what do I do'?You make sure of your feelings!"Joy shouted.

Baekhyun sighed.Irene was right.She was eavesdropping.Irene needs to make her office silence proof as soon as possible.

But now Baekhyun isn't ready to scold Joy.He was too distraught by both Irene and Taehyung telling and suggesting him the same thing.Seems like they both are telling Baekhyun to date Annie.

Joy sat across Baekhyun,"Oppa,you need to make sure of your feelings.I am already sure that you like her.."

Baekhyun glared at her.

Joy bit her tongue,"Opps,...'attracted' too her."

"And how are so sure,Ms,Park i-specialize-in-eavesdropping?"Baekhyun asked.

Joy smiled,"The way you look at her.You look like you want to jump on her.You either want to kill her or..."

Baekhyun frowned and that made Joy stop.

But after a pause she said,"Even if you don't believe me,ask anyone else in the gang.They would say so too.We all ship you two so much!We have a name for your couple as well..it's.."

"Stop,looks like Joonmyun hyung isn't giving you guys enough work.You all have time to talk and fantasize about all these!I shall talk to Joonmyun hyung.."

Irene was sitting on her chair smiling at how adorable this situation of Baekhyun and Annie was.

"Oppa,I have a way you can figure out your feelings.."Joy said.

Baekhyun raised his brows,"What?"

The next thing Joy said totally shocked Baekhyun.

"Kiss her!"

Baekhyun looked carefully at Joy trying to see if she's joking or not.She looks serious.

Baekhyun paused for awhile,"Are you crazy?"

"No..Oppa..it works!If your heart flutters unnaturally that means you like her and if you don't you don't!"

"Who gives you these ridiculous ideas?Heart fluttering unnaturally?What the fu.."

"No Oppa,it happens,this is what I felt when I kissed my first love.."

"Shut up,don't talk unless I tell you too,"Baekhyun then turned to Irene and said,"Help me.."

"What Joy said isn't completely wrong though,"Irene said,"You need to make sure if your feelings before you do something."

Baekhyun hates the fact that now Irene has said its starting to make sense.He needs to stop that.

"I don't even know if she has a boyfriend!"Baekhyun shouted.

"Did you ask her?"Irene asked.

"Well..I did..vaguely but she didn't answer!"Baekhyun threw a tantrum.

"What if she has a boyfriend?She could have two.There's no rule in our world.I also once.."Joy started.

Baekhyun glared at her again,"Shut up!"

That look scared Joy and she actually shut up.

"No in all seriousness,Baekhyun-ah,you somehow need to be sure of your feelings.I will think and tell you a better way of making sure,"Irene said.

Baekhyun sighed and got up,"Okay,thank you."

"You're most welcome."

Baekhyun threw another glare Joy's way and got out of Irene's office.

Heart fluttering unnaturally?What a joke!

Baekhyun has never felt that.That is just stupid expression Joy learnt after watching movies.

That can't actually happen,right?

The only reassuring thing is that Irene told him that she could figure out a better way. Baekhyun looked at his watch.It's almost 8.It's almost time for Annie to come. Baekhyun went to the casino to go meet the others and wait for Annie.

Baekhyun was sitting at a table in the casino with some of them members and talking to Chanyeol him about different stuffs.Chanyeol was talking mainly.Baekhyun was mostly out of it because he was really confused about his feelings for Annie.Suddenly he heard Annie's voice.Looks like she arrived.He turned around and saw Annie coming and sitting beside Taeyong.She looked devastated,sad and angry.She looked more distraught than Baekhyun.It's the first time she's looking like this.She is trying to hide it but she can't.Baekhyun suddenly felt worried about her.Looks like everyone in the table saw her situation.

"Noona,what happened?"Lucas asked Annie.

"Lucas-ah,"Annie called sadly.

Baekhyun was about to get up and go to her to see what is up with her.Her voice seems so sad.But the next thing she said made him stop.

"The love of my life left me!"

Baekhyun immediately turned around to Chanyeol.He knew she has a boyfriend.See?But doesn't that mean she's single now? Baekhyun shook his head and tried to get that thought out of his head.But the fact that she had a boyfriend and she is so sad over him made Baekhyun weirdly angry. Baekhyun tried to start up a conversation with Chanyeol but he was trying to listen to Annie and Lucas's conversation.

Annie had put her head on the table and Taeyong,Sunmi,Jisung And Haechan were trying to comfort her.

"Noona,you broke up with your boyfriend?"Lucas asked.

Sunmi stopped Lucas,"No!"

Baekhyun widened his eyes.They didn't break up?That made Baekhyun more furious.

Lucas asked,"Then they didn't break up?"

"Aish!The boyfriend isn't the person she's crying over!"Sunmi said.

"Then who is it?"Lucas asked.

Baekhyun was so confused.What was happening here?

Annie raised her head and smashed her hand on the table,"Why would I cry over a boyfriend???"

"Then who are you crying over?"Taeyong asked.

Annie cried loudly.And the next thing she said made Baekhyun really shocked again.

"Lee Jongsuk!"

Baekhyun was so shocked.The rest of them were too.

What the hell?

Annie again lowered her head.

Jisung finally said,"The actor Lee Jongsuk?"

Sunmi nodded,"He enlisted today.Now our Annie doesn't know what to do with her life.He is the love of her life."

Baekhyun wanted to facepalm.But then Lucas asked another question.

"So does that mean Noona is single?"

Baekhyun's ears perked up and heart started beating faster.

Now we're asking real questions.

"Yes,"Sunmi said,"The only man she allowed in her life was Lee Jongsuk."

"But he left me!I would have to wait for two years!"Annie screamed while raising her head.

Baekhyun smirked.He didn't care about the last part.

He didn't know why he felt so happy.He got up and suddenly held Annie's wrist.Annie looked at him with sad eyes.

"Let's go,"Baekhyun said while smirking.He tried to hide his smirk but for some reason he can't.

"Where?"Annie asked.

"To work,where else?"Baekhyun asked.

The rest of them were about to complain about Baekhyun making her work even though she's not in her right mind.But Baekhyun didn't pay heed to them.Just pulled Annie with him.Annie also wiped her tears and followed Baekhyun hoping that working with Baekhyun would help her forget what is happening today.

Baekhyun made Annie work really hard that night.He gave her more work than usual to help her forget about Lee Jongsuk.And it kind of worked.She seemed pretty normal while working.But things took a dramatic turn when they went to eat dinner and Baekhyun allowed her to order Soju.

"I gave him my everything!My time,my energy,my money,my love,my heart!This is the treatment I get?"Annie shouted while chugging down another bottle of Soju.She isn't even using glasses anymore.

Everyone in the restaurant were looking at her and Baekhyun became tired of saying sorry for the disturbance.

"I don't know what I did to get this treatment,"Baekhyun said looking at Annie who was sitting across him with his fist supporting his face,totally unamused.

"Why did Korea have to have this rule?Why?Why???"Annie asked while taking another sip.

Baekhyun sighed.

For God's sake,it's her fourth bottle.

"How can I wait for two years?How?"Annie shouted.

Baekhyun also took a bottle and chugged it down.He couldn't take it anymore.He was having so many emotions right now.He was confused about what Irene and Joy said,he feels happy because she doesn't have a boyfriend and also feels angry because she's acting like this over a man.And the fact that she's looking so dam beautiful right now is also not helping.

Baekhyun's heart and mind both were a mess right now.And he doesn't like it.He wants to be sure and have control over everything.Even his feelings.He wants to know what these weird feelings are and deal with them quickly.

"Baekhyun-ah?"Annie called.Her cheeks were red from being drunk.She looked really pretty.

Baekhyun took another bottle of Soju and opened it,"What?"

"Do you know how I feel?"

"I don't honestly want to know.."

"Do you know how being in love feels like?"

"I don't want to know!"

"You know what?Love isn't as bad as you might think!"

"Is that why you are crying and screaming at 11:30 while drinking like an insane woman?"

Annie chuckled,"Love is nice.My first love was the most shinning and brilliant person on the earth."

Baekhyun rolled his eyes.Whoever the first love of her is,he doesn't like him already.

Annie then looked at Baekhyun,"Do you remember your first love?"

Baekhyun looked away and quickly chugged down the bottle.He doesn't even want to think about it or remember it anyhow.After chugging the whole bottle down he looked at Annie and said,"Let's go.It's almost 12."

Annie pouted sadly like a baby,"But I want to stay more."

Baekhyun looked away.He can't handle this anymore.His feelings are becoming more of a mess.

After Baekhyun paid the bill he took Annie to get a little bit of fresh air to help her sober up a bit.Then he would drop her at the bus station.During the walk Annie kept talking about how sad and unfair it was that Jongsuk had to go to the military. Baekhyun didn't say anything nor did he listen to anything she was saying.His whole body felt weird.His heart and mind were going crazy.Baekhyun needs to know what these are to deal with them.

Annie looked ahead and suddenly pointed,"Baek,look the bus station!We have arrived!"

Baekhyun looked at her and she happily ran towards the bus station.Baekhyun strolled behind her.

After standing on the bus station Baekhyun looked around,there was no one in the station.Some stores were open so the street wasn't completely empty.Then he looked at Annie who was smiling at him.She was yet not completely sober so her cheeks were still pinkish.And her eyes were sparkling.

"Thanks so much for tolerating me today,Baek,"Annie said and looked away and saw the bus coming,"Oh the bus is coming.I have to get going,"She then turned to Baekhyun and smiled,"You can go now,Baek.I can take care of the rest.Thank you so much."

Baekhyun couldn't handle these feelings anymore.His heart was feeling weird while looking at her.He needed to know why he's feeling like this.Suddenly what Joy said crossed his mind.

Annie was about to turn towards the bus but everything happened really quickly.Baekhyun suddenly held her upper arms and turned her around to slam his lips on her.His grip tightened on her arms as he was kissing her.Annie couldn't fathom what was happening.Her eyes went completely wide.She couldn't move for a few seconds.She could only feel Baekhyun's lips on her.

After she realized what was happening she didn't waste anytime.She pushed Baekhyun away and turned him around by twisting his arms behind him really hard.This experience shocked her so much that it made her completely sober.

"Are you crazy?The fuck were you doing?"Annie asked while twisting his arms more.

Baekhyun didn't groan in pain.He stayed quiet for awhile before he bursted in to laughter.

Annie was shocked as she looked at his side profile.She surely didn't expect that reaction.Why is laughing like that after doing this and being held like this?

"Have you actually gone crazy?"Annie asked.

"Most probably,"Baekhyun said in between laughter.

Annie frowned and thought whether or not to call Joonmyun.But then the bus arrived.Annie said,"Don't try anything else.I have to go now.We will talk about this later."

Baekhyun kept laughing as she slowly let go of his arm and got onto the bus.

She couldn't yet understand what just happened and why he would kiss her out of the blue.But the only silver lining was that she could stop being sad about Jongsuk and start thinking about the reasons on why he might do it.The bus started and Annie looked out the window to see Baekhyun who was waving at her while continuing to laugh.Annie frowned.

Did working so much turn him crazy?

After the bus left Baekhyun sat on the bench of the bus station and continued to laugh for a few moments.Laughing too much for tears in his eyes.After somehow managing to stop the laughter he wiped the tears away from his eyes and looked at nowhere.

He just lost his mind for a few moments there because while he was kissing Annie his heart really fluttered.He liked it and felt happy.So what Joy said was right.

That means he is 'attracted' to Annie.He actually knows it shouldn't actually be called 'attracted' it should be called 'liked'.And Baekhyun hates that fact.That's why he was laughing like this.He just can't accept the fact that he felt like that while kissing her.He is now sure of his feelings and he doesn't like the answer.

He can't believe he is feeling this for a girl that hides her true identity.She might be a spy.He doesn't even know her full name and they have no match in opinion.

Baekhyun chuckled again humorlessly.

Damn,I'm in so much trouble.
