ChanBaek One shots

You Got Mail!

In which Byun Baekhyun runs his college newspaper's crush column, where students had the opportunity of emailing in a confession that Baekhyun would post advice too in the form of his alter ego; Bunny. Bunny was capable of giving the best relationship advice despite the fact that Baekhyun was never in one himself. He's used to people sending in questions about other people, but when one person starts writing to Bunny himself, Baekhyun finds himself incapable of giving the other advice. Cue one panicked writer and his ridiculously whipped suitor.

"Oh, Baekhyun! Thank goodness you haven't left already!" Luhan cheered, rushing toward his co-worker before he could plan his escape. "I was hoping that you might be able to help me before you head home."

"Luhan," the latter groaned in defeat, cursing his work ethnic for making him stay a little later than usual tonight. "I'm officially off the clock. You missed me by two minutes!"

"Baekhyun, please!" The blonde sports reporter begged, fingers already entangled in a praying formation. "Give me just a moment of your time, you know that I wouldn't come to you if it wasn't about something extremely important. "

"One minute." Baekhyun declared, already in the process of setting up a timer on his computer. Luhan patiently waited for his friend to press the start button before rushing to explain his situation.

"Okay, so you know how Johnny's party is tonight and just about everyone is going to be there-" deciding to avoid interrupting the elder's rant to correct him in excluding himself from the 'everyone' Luhan was referring to, Baekhyun allowed him to continue. "I am in desperate need of your wisdom. My crush is going to be there tonight, and I was kind of hoping that tonight might be the night that we move beyond the chit-chat and get to more of the kiss-kiss stage."

Although a little stunned by his bluntness, Baekhyun found himself understanding his friend's predicament. Fortunately, Baekhyun had enough experience in this regard to be able to confidently assist his friend in his moment of need. A quick glance at his computer screen filled him with reassurance as they still had a further forty-six seconds to discuss details.

"Actually -"

"According to the column you wrote last week, you said that; 'Clothing is just as important as starting a conversation, if you're feeling and looking good in your outfit then you're one step closer to bagging that crush!' Which is why.." Luhan paused for a second as his finger swiped against his phone's screen. "I've already established two outfits that I could wear, and I was hoping that you might be able to give me your opinion on which one I should go with."

Despite having one of the most popular columns within the paper, Baekhyun never expected any of his fellow writers to actually take time out of their busy schedule to give his work a read. Besides the editor, Baekhyun had never received an ounce of praise for his work as Bunny. His alter ego only ever got recognized by the fans of their newspaper, and even then, it was never Baekhyun, himself that they were referencing. Everyone only ever knew of his pen name, and while it was extremely beneficial for the young college-goer, there was still a small part of him that wished to be completely open with his work.

Acutely aware of the declining time they had to discuss the topic, Luhan gently shoved his phone screen closer to his face. The bright setting of the latter's back-screen caused a glare to flash through the tinted lenses of Baekhyun's glasses, forcing a soft groan to escape the writer's lips. Out of reflex, Baekhyun's fingers curled around the end of Luhan's phone, which he gently pushed further away from his face and therefore away from his sensitive eyes. A wagging finger danced above the device, prompting Baekhyun to swipe left when he was finished glancing the first image over.

Thankfully, it seemed that Luhan had come prepared, offering various sets of pictures to fully capture his outfit choices. For the two outfit choices, Luhan had provided Baekhyun with two shots for each. One set displayed the outfit flat against what Baekhyun could only assume was his dormitory bedsheets, while the other set depicted what the outfit looked like on. While most others would simply rely on their own tastes, Baekhyun had developed a keen ability to distinguish which outfit would be the most effective for a night out.
