Kyungsoo watched the Chanbaek couple at a distance, with envious eyes. The two had been together since he could remember, all the way since debut. Fans loved them together because their personalities meshed so well. It was amazing at how easily Chanyeol and Baekhyun got along. They were both loud and playful; smiles always on their faces. Sometimes those smiles could be so contagious that everyone couldn’t help but be happy as well. They were the “power” couple of EXO and the interesting part was that they really were a couple. What fans thought was fanservice was actually the two just showing their love for each other. It was both cute and annoying to Kyungsoo. His own fanservice was mostly done with Kai. The younger male was adorable and close with him, but to be honest, the fan service was usually forced on Kyungsoo’s part. Not that he didn’t want to be close with Kai, or express his admiration and friendly affection for the other. It was just...he wanted to save a lot of that affection for someone he really cared about.

That person, sadly, was Chanyeol. The tall male had such a beautiful soul that Kyungsoo honestly couldn’t help but fall in love with him. Chanyeol was, besides handsome, very talented. He was gifted in rapping, composing, as well as playing instruments. He was also one of the more famous members, with a larger fanbase. Yet, despite his talent, good looks, and fame, he never let it got to his head. He didn’t have an ego and he never acted arrogantly. He took everything in stride and was extremely modest, always down playing the compliments he was given or being extremely thankful for the praises he would receive. And much like he w as teased, he was the happy virus and made it his mission to make anyone and everyone he met happy. In essence, he was the picture of purity and that’s what had initially drawn Kyungsoo in and led him down the winding road of love. A love that was very much one sided.

Kyungsoo didn’t hate Baekhyun, nor did he wish to be Baekhyun (that was just stupid). He was actually very good friends with the fellow vocalists. Some people normally thought they hated each other, but that was never the case. Kyungsoo liked to tease and Baekhyun always took it with a light heart and open mind. Even when he complained on shows, it was always teasing, which Kyungsoo liked. Kyungsoo never voiced his attraction for Chanyeol, especially not to Baekhyun. He wasn’t someone who wrecked relationships. He believed that if love was meant to happen, then he would be in a relationship with that person. To him, it was obvious that chanyeol was not that person. So he stayed silent and instead was a good friend to Baekhyun, letting the older man use his ears when he needed to vent about Chanyeol or a problem that they were having within their relationship.

Kyungsoo had never been in a relationship before, so he was never too sure if he managed to be of any help to Baekhyun. He relied mostly on common sense and what he believed a relationship should be when giving advice. It seemed to work, so that was a good thing. Did he wish, for just a moment, he could be with Chanyeol? Of course, but he did have more respect than that to want something he couldn’t have. So he did what any good friend would do. He pressed his feelings, burying them as deep down inside himself as he could and continued on with his life, working as much as possible to keep himself busy and his mind from wondering.

“Hey shorty.” Kyungsoo grunted as he found a large hand resting on his head. Lifting his gaze, he stared up at Chanyeol, the giant smiling down at him brightly. Kyungsoo could feel his heart skip a beat before beating faster in his chest. He had to scold himself mentally for such a reaction and calm himself while giving Chanyeol a soft smile in return.

“Hey Chanyeol.” Kyungsoo greeted. “What’s up?”

“Practice, duh.” Chanyeol laughed as he looked around the dance room they were in. They had just taken a ten minute break after spending the last hour going over their relatively new moves for their recent comeback. The members were scattered, with most of them out to use the restroom. A few were still in the room, sitting about and drinking water, like Kyungsoo. The male was still sweaty, but slowly calming down.

“No! You’re kidding me.” Kyungsoo teased with a light laugh, Chanyeol following suite. “I thought we were all taking a nap.”

“Damn, I wish.” Chanyeol chuckled, letting out a soft break before turning to glance at the room. “Actually…” he started and turned back to face Kyungsoo. Do you a schedule for practice?” he asked.

Kyungsoo blinked and rubbed his chin. What was his schedule for the rest of the day. He didn’t remember off hand, but he knew the shooting for his movie had been completed and he wasn’t needed for the drama for another three weeks. So...was he free? He was thinking his schedule was free for the time being. “No. Not that I know of. I believe I’m free.” he told him with a smile.

“Yeah? Awesome! So do you wanna go out afterwards?” Chanyeol asked. Kyungsoo raised a brow and Chanyeol chuckled. “I mean after we get back and shower and changed.” He clarified and Kyungsoo nodded, chuckling.

“Sure. Any place in particular or just what ever place we come across?” Kyungsoo asked curiously. It wasn’t everyday that Chanyeol wanted to go somewhere with him. He was usually going out with Baekhyun, so he had to admit, he liked this change. It had been a while since he had some quality time with Chanyeol. He actually missed it and was looking for to it now.

“No, not really. We could go down to the river. Or go out and see a movie?” Chanyeol suggested. “Just not somewhere that’s going to be overly crowded. Is that okay?” Chanyeol asked.

“A trip to the river sounds nice. I haven’t been down there in a while.”

“Then we’ll go there!” Chanyeol said happily. “I’ll meet you at my car when we’re changed and ready.”

“Sounds good to me. I’ll see ya then.” Kyungsoo nodded, smiling as Chanyeol left his side then. Alone again, Kyungsoo turned to face the mirror and started practicing the steps once more.

~~~

Chanyeol stepped out of the practice room, smiling as he spotted Baekhyun leaning against the wall a few feet away. Walking over, he wrapped his arms around the other, leaning down to kiss him gently.

“Mmm.” Baekhyun hummed into the kiss, returning it lightly before pulling back from the kiss. “How did it go?” he asked, raising a brow.

“Good!.” Chanyeol told him, pecking his lips gently. “We’re going to head to the Han River. You sure you want this love?” Chanyeol asked, eyes searching Baekhyun’s for reassurance.

“Yes. I know about his feelings for you. And you know, why not? You like him, I like him.” Baekhyun smiled. “Why not try?”

“True. But what if he doesn’t want this? What if he only wants me?” Chanyeol asked.

“Well, we need to find out right? So we’ll do this. And however it goes, it goes.” Baekhyun told him with a smile. He leaned up and kissed him softly, arms winding around his waist. “I love you baby.” he cooed.

“You’re crazy, you know that?” Chanyeol asked and chuckled. “I love you too, baby. Let’s head back in and finish practice.” Baekhyun nodded and took Chanyeol’s hand, walking back into the practice room as their break came to and end.

~*~

Kyungsoo let out a soft sigh as he exited the car parked at the Han River. Well it was really the grassy park, they still had a walk to actually get down to the water. The cool summer night air washed over him and it was like all worries and stress was just washed away. He would never admit to it the others, but he was a nature lover. There was something about being outside that he just found so relaxing. Maybe it was the lovely scenery or maybe it was the fresh air. Whatever it was, he absolutely loved it.

“It’s beautiful out tonight.” Chanyeol commented next to Kyungsoo, startling the other out of his thoughts. Smiling softly, Kyungsoo looked at Chanyeol and nodded his head.

“It is.” he said. “I like it here.” he said gently, eyes scanning the area. “Let’s head down okay?” he asked and smiled at Chanyeol. Nodding, Chanyeol took Kyungsoo’s hand and tugged him towards the path that would lead them down to the river. They walked in a comfortable silence, neither one feeling the need to talk. That’s what Kyungsoo liked about Chanyeol the taller male made him feel so comfortable and relaxed. He didn’t feel the need to fill the silence with noise, like he did with some of the others. He also didn’t feel like he was giving off a mean or unapproachable vibe. Being with Chanyeol just felt so natural. Reaching the water, they walked down the small incline to the edge and stopped.

“It’s cooler here.” Chanyeol mused as he took a seat on the concrete, legs folded neatly in front of him.

“It feels nice.” Kyungsoo muttered as he took a seat next to the other. ‘It’s been way too hot lately. The cool air is a nice change.”

“True. And at least it isn’t as cold as it normally is in the winter time.” Chanyeol chuckled and leaned back, hands braced on the ground behind him. “And it’s romantic out here. You can bring a special someone out here and just have a quiet day down at the river.”

“Sounds so nice.” Kyungsoo whispered, and wistful look in his eyes. “You should bring Baekhyun down one day.” he said with a soft chuckle. “He’d like it here.”

“Maybe.” Chanyeol mused, head turning ot face Kyungsoo. The younger male was staring out at the water, eyes sparkling from the lights of the buildings across the way. Chanyeol had to admit, the other was very handsome just like that; face neutral of most emotions, seemingly lost in his thoughts. Of course Chanyeol thought Kyungsoo was absolutely breathtaking when he smiled or sung. There was just this glow about him that surrounded his body and made him seem so angelic. Baekhyun had the same glow about him as well. But Baekhyun tended to be more cute than anything else, but that was just his personality. The other wasn’t afraid to make an idiot of himself and be just as childish as Chanyeol could be. What made Kyungsoo different from Baekhyun is that the other was more mature. He didn’t usually act silly, but there were rare occasions where Kyungsoo opened up and acted just as silly as the rest of them. And that’s why Chanyeol found himself falling for the other, because he needed that maturity and seriousness in his life. That’s probably why Baekhyun found himself also pinning over the short penguin-looking male. Kyungsoo was just...Kyungsoo and that’s all he could describe him as and that’s really the way he needed to be described.

“Kyungsoo, is there anyone that has caught your attention?” Chanyeol asked, wanting to make as much of a casual conversation that he could without letting on to his true intention. Kyungsoo looked over at him and raised a brow before shaking his head some.

“No not really.” he said. “I haven’t had enough time to stop and let myself find love.” It was an obvious lie to Kyungsoo, but he wasn’t aware that Chanyeol knew it was a lie as well.

“Really? What’s your ideal type?” Chanyeol asked curiously.

“Someone I can be myself around. Someone who I don’t feel pressured to impress and will accept me for who I am.” Kyungsoo paused for a moment, thinking over some other attributes he wanted in his ideal type to have. “Someone who can make me laugh. Someone with a good soul and values family and love and work ethic.” he said and hummed softly, nodding his head.

“You mentioned nothing about looks.” Chanyeol laughed. “Tall, short? PRetty? Actress?” he pressed.

“I don’t care.” Kyungsoo gave a soft smile. “I fall for personality, not looks. If the person has the type of personality I like and we mesh well, I will automatically find them attractive.” he explained. Chanyeol nodded as he listened and chuckled.

“You have such a pure soul Soo. I like it.” Chanyeol chuckled.

“Thank you.” Kyungsoo replied and smiled. There was a small hint of a blush on Kyungsoo’s cheeks. He could feel it and he wanted so desperately to cover it. His crush just complimented him, and while it may not be a big deal to Chanyeol, it was a huge deal to Kyungsoo. It was a moment he wasn’t going ot forget anytime soon. He looked over and noticed Chanyeol checking his phone and it prompted Kyungsoo to pull out his own and check it. He was just making sure that he hadn’t missed any calls from their manager or any of the members. Seeing none, he placed his phone on the ground next to him, near Chanyeol’s own cell phone. They sat there for a moment in silence, before Chanyeol got up and stretched.

“Hey Soo.” the older called, Kyungsoo’s attention being drawn to the other. And before the male could answer, Chanyeol grabbed his arms and hauled him up onto his feet. With a very cheeky grin that left Kyungsoo momentarily confused, Chanyeol tugged them a few feet forward, jumping into the river Kyungsoo following. And the moment the cold water of the river hit his body, Kyungsoo was very glad that they both could swim. Then again, he was sure that was the only reason Chanyeol pulled such a bold stunt, because they both could swim and most likely wouldn’t drown. Surfacing, Kyungsoo spat out water, arms and legs kicking to keep himself afloat, a glare sent to the smiling Chanyeol.

“Why?”

“Why not?” Chanyeol countered with a laugh, which somehow managed to pull a smile from Kyungsoo, who shook his head.

“It’s official, you’re crazy!” Kyungsoo laughed as he turned and started swimming towards the wall to pull himself out. He heard the splashing behind him and assumed Chanyeol was going ot swim up next to him to get out as well. Instead, an arm slipped around his waist and he found himself pressed against the wall. Shortly after, he was turned and a pair of dry, cracked lips pressed against his in an almost urgent kiss. It was weird, to him, being kissed. He had fantasized many times about kissing Chanyeol and even though he had a few kissing scenes, they never gave him the accuracy of feeling what a kiss was, which was two lips pressed against another set of lips. They were pressing, almost as if in a shoving war and it was starting to get uncomfortable for Kyungsoo, but then Chanyeol’s head tilted slightly and the pressure changed.

Kyungsoo found his top lip slipping between Chanyeol’s as Chanyeol’s bottom lip slipped between his lips. And he honestly couldn’t say he hated it. In fact, he really liked it. Especially as Chanyeol’s lips started moving slowly over his. So Kyungsoo mirrored his actions, taking cues from the more experienced male. He was getting lost in the kiss and the sensations and he never wanted it to end. And in the back of his mind, he vaguely realized that he was kissing Chanyeol, a man he had been pining after for long, yet refused to make any sort of move because he was taken. He was kissing a taken man and he loved it.

They pulled back from the kiss slowly, and only when the need for air became too great. Even then, they didn’t pull that far away, lips still brushing against each other as they panted softly, trying to calm racing hearts. It amazed Kyungsoo how such a simple action such as kissing could get him so worked up that his heart felt like it was going to pound right out of his chest. All this was so new him and it both excited and scared him. And with good reason it scared him.

“Baekhyun?” It was just a name, but an important name. As much as Kyungsoo wanted to celebrate his achievement of kissing Chanyeol, he had promised himself long ago that he wouldn’t ruin anyone’s relationship and he didn’t want to start now. Despite how wonderful Chanyeol’s lips felt against his. His eyes turned to stare at Chanyeol’s eyes which were scanning his, as if Kyungsoo already held the answer to that question. Did he? Was Chanyeol finally done with Baekhyun and now he was looking for someone else? Was he just a rebound? Or was Chanyeol doing the unthinkable and cheating on his boyfriend? So many questions were running through his head and he hated that. “Chanyeol.” he whispered.

“It’s not what you think.” Chanyeol said gently, head tilting to brush their lips together once more. And Kyungsoo wanted to give in so easily. He wanted to get lost in Chanyeol’s kiss once more, but he had to stop himself, pulling back.

“Then what is this?” he asked, chewing on his lower lip lightly. Chanyeol pulled back further and smiled softly at him as he raised his hand from out of the water to stroke Kyungsoo’s cheek gently.

“So much more. But maybe we should get out before we talk?” he suggested and Kyungsoo had to agree. It would be better if they were out of the water before they started discussing the kiss and what Chanyeol wanted for the future. The taller male pulled back from Kyungsoo, and the wide eyed male turned and heaved himself out of the water, Chanyeol following suite. They sat on the edge of the concrete wall, feet dangling and water still dripping from their bodies. While the silence that settled between them wasn’t awkward, it was heavy as it loomed over them, each trying to anticipate the other’s next move and reaction. “I know about your feelings.” Chanyeol finally said, shocking Kyungsoo as the other stared at him, mouth slightly open.

“What?”

“I know. I mean I didn’t know until recently. Baek mentioned your favoritism towards me and I started watching you.” Chanyeol explained. “You like me. It’s okay to admit it, so please be honest with me.” he told him.

Kyungsoo was quiet for a moment before he let out a deep sigh. “I didn’t want to say anything. I don’t want to be a relationship wrecker. You and Baekhyun are so cute together. Perfect. And I just want you two to be happy, regardless of my wants.” Chanyeol listened to him quietly, taking in all of Kyungsoo’s words carefully as he formulated his reply.

“I understand and I thank you for being so considerate of us Kyungsoo. But I have to say...I love you.” he said gently. “I don’t really know when, but I do know feelings have developed for you.”

“But...Baekhyun?”

“Let me finish.” Chanyeol said as he pressed his finger to Kyungsoo’s lips to silence the other. “I’ve talked to Baek when I came to the realization that I want more than friendship with you. He was more than understanding when I talked to him and even confessed having similar emotions.”

“Chanyeol?” Kyungsoo whispered confused.

“What I’m saying is that Baek and I both like you and we really would like for you to come into our relationship, if you’re willing.”

Kyungsoo honestly couldn’t believe this. Was Chanyeol honestly proposing a threesome between Baekhyun, Chanyeol and himself. Though he didn’t really have strong feelings for Baekhyun, the other was very attractive and his best friend. It wouldn’t be such a bad thing to be with him as well. He just found it all so strange that he spent so much time trying to keep his feelings for Chanyeol at bay. And suddenly he was going to have his deepest desire become reality with an additional bonus of having Baekhyun. His heart was on such a rollercoaster ride. “I don’t really know what to say.” he said gently. “Besides yes. But this is so sudden and almost confusing. I feel lost and hopeful.” Kyungsoo looked away then and sighed. “Are you sure this is okay? “

Chanyeol reached out and grabbed Kyungsoo’s cheeks gently in his hands, forcing the other to look at him. ‘I am one hundred percent sure.” he told him with such confidence that it made Kyungsoo’s heart flutter. “And Baek is as well. It was actually his idea, that I take you out so we could discuss this, since your feelings were for me and not him. Are you sure you want to do this? With Baekhyun included?” Chanyeol asked once more. He needed to make sure that this was what Kyungsoo really wanted. The last thing he wanted was for Kyungsoo to agree and then regret the decision.

“I’m sure. I...won’t lie. It may be awkward at first, but I want to give this a try.” Kyungsoo nodded at him. ‘ISo I want to do this, and be with you and Baekhyun. I don’t know how things will go for us, but I will work hard to make it work for us.”

“We will too, Soo. We will make this work.” Chanyeol smiled widely and leaned in, connecting their lips once more into a soft kiss. Kyungsoo leaned into the kissin, running slim fingers through Chanyeol’s damp hair, stroking it gently as he once more started to get lost in the kis.s He wanted it to last forever, especially when Chanyeol’s arm wrapped around him and pulled him close. A soft gasp left him as his wed body was pressed against Chanyeol’s equally wet and cold body. The momentary shock of the wetness had Kyungsoo’s lips parting and Chanyeol used it to his advantage, slipping his tongue into Kyungsoo’s waiting mouth. A moan left Kyungsoo as Chanyeol licked at his tongue. It was a strange sensation but not unpleasant. So Kyungsoo wanted more. He dared to move his own tongue, letting it slide smoothly over Chanyeol’s. Their lips moved against each other as heads tilted in opposite directions to deepen the kiss further. Kyungsoo let Chanyeol’s tongue move within his mouth, licking at the roof of his mouth which caused him to shudder so violently. Chanyeol pulled back from the kiss with a light chuckle and smiled at him, lickig his lips.

“Wow.” Kyungsoo whispered with a soft smile. “That was...intense.”

“It can be even more intense if you give it a chance.” Chanyeol grinned.

“I don’t know if I’ll be able to handle that. But I can’t wait.” Chanyeol let out a chuckle as he climbed to his feed before helping Kyungsoo up to his.

“Let’s head back to the dorm and get changed.” Chanyeol suggested as he grabbed their phones and took Kyungsoo’s hand and led him back to the jeep. The right back to the dorm was made in a comfortable silence, hands held over the center console, eyes focused on the long road ahead of them. By the time they arrived home, they were nearly dry, but still chilled to the bone. They made their way upstairs, punching in the code and walking inside. They were greeted with the quiet drone of some sort of TV program playing in the living room, but otherwise it was quite. Then again, it was pretty late at night, most members were probably asleep. Walking into the living room, the two glanced at the empty seats and Kyungsoo sighed. Walking over to the coffee table, he grabbed the remote and turned off the TV before turning and facing Chanyeol.

“Let’s go to my room.” It was a suggestion that Kyungsoo easily agreed to. Taking Chanyeol’s outstretched hand, he held it and gave it a gentle squeeze before heading down the hall of the bedrooms, stopping briefly so Chanyeol could open his door before walking in. They were greeted with the sight of Baekhyun reclining on the bed, playing with phone. The sound of them entering the room drew his attention away from the device momentarily as he looked up at them.

“Oh.” Baekhyun said and grinned at them. ‘You guys are home so soon. Did everything go okay?” he asked, eyes moving down to stare at their joined hands before lifting once more to start at the two.

“It went good. Really good.” Chanyeol said with a grin and looked over at Kyungsoo who nodded his head in agreement. ‘He has agreed, but he wants to take it slow.”

“Slow?” Baekhyun asked.

“Yeah.” Kyungsoo nodded and chewed on his bottom lip. “I like Chanyeol. And I’m not opposed to this threesome idea, it's just I’ve never looked at you in that light before.” he confessed. He wasn’t afraid to admit that he hadn’t liked Baekhyun in that way and he still didn’t. But that didn’t mean he would never like Baekhyun like that. In fact he was hoping to fall for Baekhyun. IT would make this relationship work better and that's what he wanted, for everything to work better.

“Ah, I see.” Baekhyun chuckled. “Alright then. We’ll take this slow. How about we start with some late night cuddling?” he asked.

“Sure. But after a shower. We went swimming and now we need to get cleaned.” Chanyeol laughed.

“Okay! Shower well.” Baekhyun smiled at them.

“We will babe.”

And as Chanyeol tugged Kyungsoo out of the room, he couldn’t help but smile. They were all going to work on this relationship and he couldn’t wait to see the good things it brought in the future.
