@[i] wendy [sh] Chanyeol nodded in agreement at her remark, but hums softly as he listened to her carefully. Hearing the sadness of her voice the tall rapper tried his best to resist the urge to wrap his arms around her and simply console the young lady. But by doing so, people might see them and make a big scandal about it. No he did not want any of that to happen that's why he chose to simply pat her shoulder reassurely. The young lady seemed to have missed a step and tripped, Chanyeol immediately took stance in front of her in case the other fell. Blinking a few times he looked back at her and slowly nodded his head.

@[i] chanyeol "Now you know." Wendy grinned widely at the other's compliment. "Now you know why your hyungs and I make really good friends." She continued with a soft laughter. "Most people think otherwise though. Whenever they hear Wendy. It's always about Zitao or Yixing... or well some other member. " she nods her head, a slight hint of saddness in her voice. It was never good whenever the media associated her with any of the EXO members, Wendy often got upset about it but it wasn't like she could do anything about it. Walking alongside with him, Wendy tripped on her own two feet at the other's sudden question. "M-me?" She looked up at him with much surprise on her face.

@[i] wendy [sh] He smiled and nod his head before opening the door for the other as they have arrived by the door they exited earlier. "Well, I like being around you. You're easy-going, adorable and I can be my crazy old self when I'm with you. Something I easily noticed on first meeting basis." He chuckled before leading you inside the building and back to the elevator. "Do you like being around me as well?"

@[i] chanyeol Wendy hadn't realised that she had called him 'oppa', not until the taller male had repeated it himself. The word seemingly leaving her lips naturally whenever it came to someone older than her or rather if she felt closer to the other. "How would you know?" She said jokingly with a light shake of her head, chuckling after. The other had barely spend much time with her, moreover, it was their first time meeting. "Nah, I was about to be done anyway, it wasn't anything special. Just something I thought. " Wendy smiled, the corner of her lips curving up even more at his new given nickname.

@[i] wendy [sh] The tall rapper blinks a few times before chuckling softly as the other had actually addressed him 'oppa', a term of endearment a girl addresses to a very close older boy. "You're never a bother to oppa." He smiled warmly before playfully ruffling her hair. "and yes, I'm still gonna stay to work a bit on the song i'm writing the dorm is not that far away from here either." He nodded and looked around a bit making sure they weren't followed by any crazy fan or media. "How about me? Am I not a bother to you, Dy?" He grinned widely to himself at his own nickname for the lass. "I mean you seemed busy before I barged in the recording room earlier."

@[i] chanyeol Wendy doesn't notice the time until the other speaks. Casually, she whips out her mobile and hums softly to herself in deep thought. "Probably just a while more. Since my apartment isn't really far from the building." She says as she slips the phone back into her back pocket. " and you?" Wendy questions, looking up at him. "I'm not eating too much of your time am I?" She continues, a soft laughter leaving her lips. " I mean, you haven't really started doing the thing you were suppose to do since you went to the recording room have you? I hope I'm not tooooo much of a bother oppa."

@[i] wendy [sh] Chanyeol followed behind the other as she went out and strides beside her before walking them back to the building. He notices the soft blush that is painted on the others cheek and the older can't help but to smile secretly knowing that he was part of the reason she's blushing. Looking at his wrist watch, he realizes that it's already late. "What time would you be heading back?" He asks curiously, apart of him wanting to personally take her back home, and another wanting to be able to stay with her until the next morning.

@[i] chanyeol "You're gonna get fat." Wendy teases him and shakes her head in disapproval even though she means no harm. She knows what is it like to be on diet and finally be able to eat what she wants. Wendy makes a mental note that Chanyeol is really like a five year old, a really tall and cute on that is. She walks over to the fridges and grabs a bottle of plain water while Chanyeol picks out his snacks and pays for it. It doesn't take very long for the older boy to be done before he's at the door, opening it for her. "Thank you." Wendy laughs, once again a faint blush painting her cheeks. She realises she's been doing that more often than she should around her senior.

@[i] wendy [sh] Gulping down the rest of the sandwich left, he'd take short glances to the other as he drank the last from his own cup. Noticing the other kept quiet for awhile as she was chewing on her straw. "Oh?" The older blinked and nodded. "Sure" he smiled before standing up and grabbing the paper bag for his snacks. It's not everyday he gets to buy and eat all the snacks he wants, he's making sure to make the best of it. "After you my princess." He grinned as he gentlemanly opened the door for the other.

@[i] chanyeol Realising that her actions might have caused the other some shock, she looks back down at her drink. 'Oh crap' Wendy inwardly cursed as she hears the other laughing awkwardly along with her. Now she was the one screwing things up. Sighing inwardly, Wendy chews on her straw in silence, not knowing what to say to better the awkwardness lingering between them. Only when the other had completely finish his food did she speak up. "S-should we head back?" She asked softly.

@[i] wendy [sh] Upon finishing his first sandwhich, Chanyeol looked up to listen to the other's response when suddenly she stops him. Rather, her fingers wiping off mayo from the corner of his lips stopped him from doing anything. He felt himself stuck, a bit taken a back and his face heating up from the other's quite bold move. He could hear his heart beating loudly and it seemed as if time stopped everything. Hearing the other laugh snapped him back to consciousness and he could just laugh along a bit awkwardly and sip from his cup of soda. He felt embarrassed and he was not used to it moreover knew what to do about it.

@[i] chanyeol 'I'm not." Wendy mutters with full and casually swats his hand away when she's being poked. Silently she wonders why Chanyeol is capable of making her feel so shy and she wouldn't stop blushing around him. She stares at him with a shake of her head at the rapper's offer. 'growing child' she mentally tells herself as she see Chanyeol gobble down the sandwich in a matter of minutes. Unconsciously, she doesn't hear what the other says but reaches out to the corner of the other's lips and wipes the mayo off with her fingers. Only when she's doing that does she realise what she's actually doing "oops." She mumbles softly offering him an awkward lop-sided grin. "you look like five." Wendy says before laughing.

@[i] wendy [sh] "Yes you are." The tall rapper cooed and poked her reddedning cheeks as the other wipes out the stains at the corner of her lips. Chanyeol's smile grew as the other looked so adorable blushing from his simple gestures. "Yup and I'm still starving.. " he grinned and pulled out the clubhouse sandwhich. "You want?" He offered her generously before taking one of the two piece sandwiches out before taking a big bite out of it. "Hmm. So good." He hummed in delight at the satisfying taste of the said sandwich. "So, is there any new projects for Red Velvet this year?" He asked the other curiously, since it had been quite awhile since the last promotions of the other's own group.

@[i] chanyeol "Oh." Wendy looks up at him, eyes open wide, round and big. She blinks for a couple of times, still mentally processing what he just said before her cheeks turn even redder in embarrasment. "I'm not. " she whines softly and takes the tissue from him, wiping inmediately when he points the stains out. She suddenly feels like a five year old once again and that she hopes that the ground can swallow her up so that she can stop embarrassing herself. Having been so immersed in her food, she hadn't realised that Chanyeol had completed his first course. Stupidly, she gawks at him. "You're done?" She asks and to think she was being the fast one here.

@[i] wendy [sh] "Ah yes, We'll probably do." He chuckled and enjoyed his own food, already finished with the nugget meal he wiped away any stain that might've stuck on his face as he was eating, before noticing a quite messy stain of kimchi at the corner of the other's lips as he heard her asked his silent compliment to her earlier. "I said that you still look very much adorable even when you are deliciously inhaling your food." He laughed softly before offering her tissues, being careful of his actions just in case, although deep inside he probably would've wiped the stain off himself. "You got some stain here." He pointed out on his own face as a reference for the other.

@[i] chanyeol "Nah." She waved his statement off, " I'm sure we'll be able to spot any of them before anything happens. " Wendy reassures thoughtfully before glancing down at her yummy bowl of food. Wendy was immersed in just gobbling down her food, she was definitely famished, so much so, she didn't quite catch the other. "waf did you say?" She questions which filled with rice and possibly a piece of kimchi cabbage sticking out- looking ridiculous cute like a hamster that has it cheek pouch stuffed with food .

@[i] wendy [sh] Chanyeol smiles reassuringly, liking how things are slowly going back to how it was before. Laughing along with a light laugh he let her drag him back to the table and sat across from her. "I see.. Well, we better finish this quick then before any fan catches us. " he smiles and brought out his foods as well. Noticing how her words mentioned things from the past still affects her, he quickly dropped the topic and gave her a big grin as she dug in her food. "Even when eating so deliciously, adorable." He chuckled to himself before digging in his food as well.

@[i] chanyeol "I know what you mean. I'm not uncomfortable. You know, just weary." Wendy laughs, pulling him along with her back to the table where she left her food before letting go. "I've had a fair share of paps going around snooping of whatever that goes around me. Yixing, luhan... and well Tao." She trails off quietly. "It's enough." Even though she had gotten over Tao way long ago and that she had others in her life, mentioning his name still brought a weird feeling to her heart. "Well!" She said cheerily. "Tug in?" Wendy offered him a bright smile, the brightest she could muster before tugging into her warm bowl of microwaved quick meal.

@[i] wendy [sh] The tall rapper was about to her out when suddenly he felt her warm hand reached for his wrist making him face her and looked at her trying to process everything that was happening. "Oh?" He blinks, quite taken aback by what the other is doing. Hearing her out, he heaved a soft breath and smiled wamly. "I didn't intend to make you uncomfortable, it was just an instinct since there were fans.. but yes, you do have a point. " he nods in understanding and smiles.

@[i] chanyeol "No wait. Let's just stay." Wendy says softly yet abruptly. She didn't want things to be awkward between them, she enjoyed his company just like before and this.. whole situation now was just simply weird. Reaching out, she wrapped her fingers around the other's wrist. "You know, it wasn't like I didn't enjoy that you were holding my hand but.. I mean." She pulled away and scratched the back of her head shyly, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks. "I guess I'm just a tad bit cautious when we're out in the open.. there are eyes everywhere. And you know.. fans are really the best at misinterpreting. " she said sheepishly.

@[i] wendy [sh] Noticing the glum look on the other's face, Chanyeol couldn't help but blame himself for making the other feel uncomfortable. Everything was already going fine and fast but was it too fast? He questioned himself and sighed feeling a bit frustrated with himself for the tension that suddenly rides up between them. "Let's go back?" He asks the other a bit too careful than their casual conversation just earlier, not wanting to make the same mistake of assuming the other was fine with him leading her on without asking for her opinion.

@[i] chanyeol Wendy suddenly felt horrible for pulling her hand away. She could see the other's expression suddenly turning sourish and sad(?), upset(?). It was definitely a bad move made. She didn't quite mean it in any negative way. Wendy enjoyed Chanyeol's company, it wasn't as awkward as she would have thought so, but it was also oddly fast how everything was going, how they seem to get close really fast and everything was just escalating quickly. Wendy regrets her actions almost immediately when Chanyeol walks off towards the food aisle without even giving her a second look, she doesn't know why but she feels hurt all of a sudden or was it sad? Chanyeol had been nothing but jovial the entire time and now it feels like there was an awkward cut throat tension between them. Dragging her feet across the quick meal counter, Wendy simply picks out a box of microwavable kimchi fried rice and a bottle of water before heading to pay it. Sighing, she moves over to where Chanyeol was waiting for her, a glum expression written all over her face.

@[i] wendy [sh] "Sorry." Chanyeol mumbled loud enough for her to hear noticing how he hasn't let go of her hands that the other pried it off herself, feeling quite an idiot for just dragging her all the way there without asking for her opinion, before striding his way to the aisle of foods that he had been eyeing the moment they steppedbinside. "I'll just be here." He pointed out without looking back at her. Upon getting there, he began to pick up goods, from chips to sodas, that he had been missing eating ever since the company had put him on a strict diet. "Ahh.. It's been so long my old friend." He chuckled as he grinned wide at his selections. Quite having a bigger appetite from all the walking they've done, Chanyeol made his way to the counter and looked at the selections of ready to eat meals that the store have. After a minute of a VERY hard decision making, he ordered both a classic clubhouse sandwich and a chicken nugget meal. Hurriedly, he payed for all the goods he had picked, carried the plastic bag and waited by a table near the door for the other.

@[i] chanyeol "Oh." Wendy paused for a moment before nodding. "Right. Lead the way!" She beams, making her way to the main entrance. For a brief second, Wendy forgets that there were fans usually camping out the building for most periods of the day (and night) and is only stop when she feels the other's hand on her arm. She doesn't really remember what route Chanyeol has taken her to, she doesn't remember having been here before. Wendy wants to speak or perhaps ask where they were going (because as far as she remembers, the exit is the other way) and what they were doing but she is terribly distracted by the way Chanyeol has 'unknowingly' grabbed into her very own hand. She gives Chanyeol and the way he is holding onto her hand a couple of stares to and fro before they start moving off, running hurriedly to the convenience store. Upon reaching, Wendy steps into the store, sighing in relief that they've finally reach but she also realizes Chanyeol wasn't letting go of her hand, so instead, she does it and looks up at him - a puzzled expression written all over her face.

@[i] wendy [sh] Chanyeol tries to relax his face from smiling too much and heaves a heavy intake of breathe as they exit the confined elevator. The lad immediately stops as the other suddenly turned back to look at him. "Convenience store." He nodded and smiles a bit. Being casual yet careful enough, he grabs her arm and led her to an alternate route as he spots a few fan girls waiting by the main entrance of the building. "Stay quiet." He mumbles and led the other to the back exit which was a bit farther than where he intended to take the other. Cautiously looking around, he unknowingly slid down his hand to her own and grabbed it gently instead of her arm and held on it without any intention of letting go. Eventually they've reached another convenience store just near the building they came from without getting bombarded with fans. "Waahhm. Finally food." He beamed and opened the door for her, their hands still not letting go.

@[i] chanyeol "Cute." Wendy hears him say and tries to fight back the impending blush even more by pretending she didn't hear him but fails miserably. Thankfully for her, she hears the soft 'ding' of the elevator signifying that they've reach their level and hurries out quickly, still mindful that the other is following alongside her. Only when her heart stops thumping loudly in chest and that she was sure she wasn't a red tomato did she turn to look at him. "..where are we going again?" She questions in a clueless manner.

@[i] wendy [sh] Chanyeol tried his best not to smile as he saw the other's face slowly turning red at the mention of the word "love". He find it adorable how her eyes widened as she looked up at him and noticed how close their faces were that he could smell the mild scent of her perfume which he's slowly getting addicted to. Not wanting to creep out the other, despite the fact that he likes their CLOSE proximity, he leaned back up and smiled widely to himself before mumbling "Cute." softly, but loud enough for the other to hear.

@[i] chanyeol Wendy doesn't know why but she finds herself blushing at the other's word "love." As she turns to the side, she sees Chanyeol's face up close which she can barely take her eyes off at the eye contact. "...L-love?" She stutters stupidly in response. Chanyeol's face is way too close and oh my god it's embarrassing. Without thinking twice, she turns away immediately and looks down, hiding her rosy red cheeks behind her hair.

@[i] wendy [sh] The tall lad chuckled softly and grinned at the other's reaction. "Ahh yes.. They're both the obedient ones." He laughed softly and nodded in agreement, understanding his hyungs decision of not telling her. "Yes. Really." He smiled and nodded. "You have to keep it a secret though..Okay?" He reminds her and places his index finger in front of his lips. Hearing the elevator ding upon its arrival, he ushered her in and pushed the button for ground floor before standing next to her and leaned to her ear. "It's about love." He whispered softly and leaned back to see her reaction.
