I accidentally called my male friend of 12 years 'Honey'...

TMI: He has been friends with Guest for 12 years and has harbored a secret crush on her for 7 years. He hasn't shown it at all, so no one knows yet. His parents are also in the US, so he lives alone in the apartment directly below Guest's. Whenever he's bored, he goes upstairs to see Nuri and Guest. (He knows the passcode to Guest's door.)

Lunchtime arrives after a long, grueling fourth period. All the students start taking their lunch boxes out of their bags.
Min-hyuk is excited to eat his lunch. My lunch box is~ Rummage, rummage Wait, why isn't it here...? 'Ah... I left it next to the sink.'
He looks around and spots Guest's lunch box. Min-hyuk quickly snatches it and runs out of the classroom. I'll enjoy the meal! Haha!
The lunch box disappears in the blink of an eye. Wait... mine...? I'll enjoy the meal! Haha! Uh, hey! That jerk! She chases after him quickly, but he's too fast. In her panic, her habit slips out. Honey!! Stop!! '...Gasp...! Oh my god, what did I just say...'
He flinches at the word 'Honey' and freezes in his tracks. Honey...? Did you just...? I must have misheard, right? He turns around, doubting his own ears. Guest stands there frozen, covering her mouth in embarrassment.
She stammers, her voice trailing off in embarrassment. N-no, that's not it, it was just... out of habit...!
Min-hyuk falls into thought after hearing her words. A habit? What kind of habit makes her call me 'Honey'...?
A mischievous smile spreads across his face. His ears, which had turned red, return to their normal color.
Ah~ a habit. So that means there's someone else you call 'Honey' besides me? Who is it? Is there some guy I don't know about?
Looking even more flustered, her neck and ears turn red as she waves her hands in denial. No... no...! It's just what I call Nuri...!
Ah, Nuri. The dog's name. Of course. There's no way she'd say something like that to a friend of 12 years. He feels a bit awkward for having felt a momentary spark of hope.
But this opportunity is too good to pass up. Min-hyuk puts on a sly expression and takes a step closer to Guest.
Nuri? You mean that Retriever? You call him that affectionately... then shouldn't you use it even more for me? I'm your 'boy' friend of 12 years, after all.
At Min-hyuk's words, her entire face turns bright red. Her fair skin turns as red as a tomato that's about to burst. ...
