Doyoon wasn't blind to how handsome Sehun was, admittedly far more handsome than himself. He was already feeling more confident, thinking no one could possibly laugh at him if he had Sehun's looks.

However, he failed to realize it wasn't just an appearance that made someone as alluring and desirable as Sehun was. It was an attitude, a charisma, a manner in which they acted and carried themselves that completed the entire irresistible package. And this was something that Doyoon highly lacked. In fact, he was about the exact opposite.

Doyoon was well known at his school for being one of the so called nerds. Just about everything he did was awkward, from the way he talked, to the posture he walked in.

Sehun was used to seeing himself act in a different way, considering all the spirits he had helped previous to Doyoon. Still, he couldn't help cringing at the way Doyoon moved around in his body. He was regretting that Baekhyun was going to see him like this, it wasn't exactly what he had pictured.

Sehun (more like Sehun's body) approached Baekhyun's school with a small bouquet of flowers in his hand, and a nervous smile on his face. Sehun tried to tolerate the awkward way Doyoon walked with his body, but still managed to feel embarrassed by it. Doyoon continued forward, slightly bent over with his hands in front of himself clutching onto the bouquet, his shoulders scrunched up near his ears. It was far from the way Sehun carried himself, and honestly put horrible use of his tall stature and strong frame.

Once the bell rang, students began to leave the building, and Doyoon nervously searched the crowd for Baekhyun's face. The students that walked past him were surprised to see him at their school, recognizing his uniform and realizing he must have been rather wealthy. Still, after their initial surprise, a few of the students chuckled at him, his awkward posture overpowering Sehun's good looks.

And then Doyoon saw Baekhyun, walking with a bright smile on his face as he spoke to his friends. Sehun noticed Doyoon's eyes linger on Baekhyun for a long moment, and felt his heartbeat speed up thanks to Doyoon's amplifying feelings.

"That's him?" Sehun asked in astonishment, barely recognizing Baekhyun from the image he had in his memory.

Doyoon could hear Sehun inside his mind, a strange kind of whisper in his thoughts. Although Doyoon was controlling Sehun's body, Sehun was still there, and still very much in control. He had learned how to lower his guard enough to let spirits inhabit his body, but he could raise his consciousness at any moment and evict the spirit if he felt it was necessary.

"Yes...That's him..." Doyoon responded, nervously watching Baekhyun as he got closer and closer.

Sehun couldn't believe it. Baekhyun really was...pretty. His hair was much longer than the short length he used to have in middle school, but there was something else that changed on Baekhyun's appearance that Sehun couldn't really define. Something about him was...almost glowing.

As Baekhyun arrived to where he was standing, Sehun's body started shaking in nervous fear. Sehun noticed, and tried his best to calm Doyoon down.

"Hey, it's ok. You're in disguise remember? He doesn't know it's you."

Doyoon nodded, and with a large audible gulp, stepped towards Baekhyun. Baekhyun and his friends stopped moving, staring at the tall person suddenly blocking their path. They all stared at the flowers in Sehun's hands, and then took notice of the awkward way he was standing.

"...H-Hi...I-I..I want-wanted..."

Baekhyun's friends all started smirking, looking over at Baekhyun once they realized he was the one being spoken to. Doyoon noticed the amused look on all their faces, and his voice seized in his throat. He stood silently, his body visually shaking.

"How do you know this rich guy?" Baekhyun's friend Chanyeol laughed, glancing at the uniform Sehun was wearing, "I thought people from his school didn't talk to poor kids like us."

Baekhyun squinted his eyes, staring at Sehun with a puzzled expression as he analyzed his face, "...Sehun?"

Doyoon gulped, answering as more of a reassurance to himself than Baekhyun, "...Y-yes. That's correct. I'm Oh Sehun."

Baekhyun couldn't help but laugh a little, this squeamish behavior was nothing like the Sehun he knew. He had a pretty good memory of him, the brat who never failed to mention his taller stature with a cocky smile.

"Did you come to rub in my face how you're even taller now?" Baekhyun asked, trying to see if it would spark the old Sehun to come back.

Doyoon quickly shook his head, a panicked look on his face, "Oh n-no, n-not at all."

Sehun was inwardly dying. This is definitely not what he had imagined. He could already see it happening, Baekhyun bursting out laughing at him. He thought it would be fun to spring a random confession on him, but it looked as though Baekhyun was going to get the last laugh.

However, to Sehun's surprise, a warm smile grew on Baekhyun's face as he pointed at the flowers Doyoon was holding, "Are those for me?"

Sehun had never seen such a gentle expression on Baekhyun's face before, the brightness of his smile increasing the amount that he was already glowing. Sehun was thrown off by Baekhyun's appearance again, the vision in his mind slowly disintegrating to be replaced by the current Baekhyun standing before him.

Doyoon didn't answer, he only continued shaking. Sehun decided to try his best to encourage him again, hoping to shorten this torturous event.

"Look, he's smiling. Just give him the flowers."

Doyoon reached out his hands, a few petals falling off the flowers from his violent shaking. Baekhyun's smile grew larger as he took them, bringing them to his face to smell them. His friends Chanyeol and Jongin both watched him take a long whiff, an almost apprehensive expression on their faces as they stared at him, clearly slightly unnerved by the situation.

"Thank you." Baekhyun spoke softly as he pulled the flowers away to reveal his smile once more.

Sehun could feel the swell of happiness and affection surge through his body from Doyoon's emotions, the smile on Baekhyun's face making Doyoon's heart melt. However, Sehun himself was feeling a little differently. Things were quickly getting weird. Why was Baekhyun acting so nice about all this? He should be throwing those flowers in his face, not accepting them with a smile and a thank you.

"Ok, now confess to him." Sehun instructed, feeling more curious than anything else to see exactly how Baekhyun would react.

"...I..I can't."

"Sure you can, it's just three words."

"But his friends are looking at me."

They were indeed staring at him, more like threatening him with their eyes. It was pretty clear that Doyoon's presence and his little gift were highly unwelcome.

"Just ignore them. This is a rare chance, remember? You don't want to miss this opportunity."

"Did you want to tell me something?" Baekhyun asked, noticing him stalling.

Doyoon looked back up into Baekhyun's eyes, the fear inside him growing as he looked at Baekhyun's face.

And then, with a sudden abrupt turn, Doyoon bolted away, running as fast as he could out of the school.

Once he was gone, Baekhyun's friends let out a small confident laugh, pleased that Doyoon had dismissed himself. Baekhyun however was not amused, he stared off in the direction that Sehun disappeared in deep thought, still holding onto the bouquet of flowers he had given him.
