I was warm, to warm than i was used to. I pushed my blanket down over my shoulder and hissed as the cold air attacked my skin. I retreated back under the blanket looking for the heat source, finding it immediately and snuggling into it.

When the heat source hugs me back, my eyes fly open, my brain instantly awake and alert. Chen's face was inches from mine, his arms and legs were wrapped around me tightly, and he was still sound asleep breathing in and out slowly.

I lean forward and rest my forehead on his, watching his eyes flutter slightly in his sleep. He really does look beautiful in his sleep, almost angelic.

Suddenly i get that urge again, to just lean in and kiss him. Something in my head tells me not to fight it, so i inch closer, bringing my lips to his in a feather light kiss. My lips tingle with electricity as they touch his, and heat floods my body. Chen surpirises me by moving his lips against my own almost instantly, allowing me to deepen the kiss.

My eyes close as i feel Chen's tongue slid over my bottom lip asking for entry, which i was about to grant when i feel him pull away. I was about to protest before i remebered the reality of the situation. My eyes open to find Chen staring at me wide eyed.

"Xiu" Chen whispers, but i stop him by laughing it off.

"Haha... Guess i got caught up in a dream, sorry" then i sit up, detatch myself from his limbs, and crawl awkwardly over him to get to my closet, hoping to god he wouldn't see my bright cherry red face. I'm not sure if he bought my excuse, but i can't bring myself to talk to him about it because i know that i will tell him the truth and just the thought of doing so terrifies me so much my body was physically shaking.

"Xiu, can we talk?" Chen asks when i come out of my closet. He was still sitting on my bed, and held a serious expression.

I swallow hard "i'm hungry, let's talk later" i rush out of the room before he can protest or force me to talk to him.

>>>>>

The rest of the day was a series of avoiding Chen. Every time he would enter a room i was in, i would make an excuse to leave or i would trap one of the other members into a conversation.

"You'll have to talk to him sometime" Lay says after Chen leaves the kitchen looking annoyed.

"I know... I guess i just think that if he's not talking to me, then he's also not rejecting me" i take a large bite of a pastry and Baekhyun slaps the rest of it out of my hand, back onto the plate.

"What the hell Baek?" i yell with my mouth full, causing my words to come out muffled and barley understandable.

Baekhyun throws a hand on his hip "don't sass me, you need to be able to fit into a very tight pair of pants tonight... Quit eating"

My mouth drops open "excuse me?"

Baekhyun sighs as if i'm the stupidest person he's ever met "Xiumin, we need Chen to feel things for you and unfortunately to kick start that we need him to feel it here" he say pointing to my crotch "before he feels it here" then he points at my chest.

I step back looking for support from Lay who shrugs agreeing with Baekhyuns plan. A fearful feeling takes over my stomach as knots start to form, but i sigh and drop my shoulders in defeat.

Baekhyun claps his hands together and grasps my wrist "come on Lay, we have a lot to do before tonight" then he drags me down the hallway to his room.

>>>>>>

~Chen~

I watch Baekhyun drag Xiumin down the hallway followed by Lay with curiosity picking at my brain.

"What do you think they are up to?" i ask no on in particular.

"Probably getting ready for tonight" Chanyeol answers.

I raise an eyebrow "what's tonight?"

Suho laughs "where's your head man, you've been out of it all day" then he flicks my forehead "the club tonight, remember we were talking about it yesterday at the coffee shop"

"Oh right" i gasp lighty "i guess i have been distracted" i say placing my fingers lightly against my lips, still feeling a tingle from this morning.

"Anything you want to talk about?" Kai asks from his position on the floor, seeming to notice my internal struggle.

I chew at my lip nervously "how do you know that you have feelings for someone that are more than just friendly feelings?" i ask and suddenly the whole rooms attention is on me.

"Honestly...when you have to ask that question" Suho says smiling at me.

I groan "but i don't know exactly what it is that i feel"

Chanyeol perces his lips like he's deep in thought "well how do you feel towards this person in general?"

I take a deep breath "that's the thing, what i feel and what i thought i felt might just be completly different feelings"

Suho and Chanyeol shoot me a confused look, so i decide to explain, feeling frustrated "all i know is that when he's not around i miss him like crazy. When he's tired, or sick i worry myself to the point of making myself tired or sick, and when he's smiling or laughing i want to do everything in my power to make sure he stays that way" i swallow hard and continue "Normally i wouldn't think anything about this, because he's my best friend and best friends take care of each other like that... but this morning when he kissed me... I didn't want him to stop and i can't keep myself from thinking that maybe all of this means more than what i think it means" i finish my words in a rush and look up to find Suho, Chanyeol, and Kai staring at me with surprised expressions.

"Wait.. Who kissed you?"

"And you thought those type of feeling were normal for best friends before?"

"Are you ok with having feelings for this person?"

All of these questions and more were fired off and i lost track of where they were coming from.

I sigh "just one at a time, please... i'm confused enough, i don't need you guys making it worse"

Chanyeol and Kai look at each other and Chanyeol nods agreeing on their silent decision "let's start with who you're talking about... I'm assuming it's Xiumin since he's the only one you refer to as your best friend" i nod and he continues "ok, so you think that all of these feeling are normal for best friends?"

"Yeah, i mean don't we take care of each other like that?" i ask grasping at any type of reasoning.

Suho smiles "we do take care of each other, but not to that extent. I mean, yes we help you when your sick, and miss you... but what you're describing..."

"Dude you're in love with him" Kai says without hesitance causing Chanyeol to smack the back of his head.

"wha-what?" I say stuttering "i-i'm not in love with Xiumin... i mean he's my best friend"

Suho laughs "i fell for my best friend"

Kai smirks "so did i"

I look at Chanyeol for confirmation that this also happened to him but he smiles embarrassed "Baekhyun didn't really give me a chance to become his best friend first. He kind of came after me soon after Exo was formed, i barley knew him and by the time i realized that he had become my best friend, my feelings for him ran so much deeper than that"

D.O. comes into the room from the kitchen "you can't really help who you fall in love with Chen sweetie. The only thing you really have control over is whether or not to accept that love" he sits on Kai's lap and looks around "where's Lay and Xiumin?" he asks looking into Kai's eyes lovingly and I almost feel the need to look away because I was intruding on a private moment.

"Baekhyun dragged them both to his room to get ready" Chanyeol says laughing at his boyfriends behavior.

D.O. rolls his eyes "Sehun and Tao?"

"In their room helping each other pick out an outfit for tonight" Suho says clearly keeping close tabs on the maknae's.

D.O. wraps his arms around Kai's neck, "i guess i should go help Xiumin and Lay before Baek gets out of hand" he says then places a quick kiss on his boyfriends lips before trying to stand up but Kai pulls him back down onto his lap and kisses him deeply. When Kai finally lets go of D.O. he's bright red and flustered.

"Get a room you two" Suho says laughing at their ridiculousness.

"What do you say babe, want to go to our room?" Kai asks still holding onto his lover.

D.O. rolls his eyes and pats Kai on the cheek "later my little sexual deviant" then he gets up and skips down the hall.

"I've had plenty of friends Chen, but i have never felt anything like what you're describing until i met that one" Kai says pointing after D.O. and possibly admiring his ass.

I sigh feeling frustrated... could it be true that my need to take care of Xiumin, and wanting to be near him all the time... could it be that these aren't normal feelings friends have for each other. 'Could i be in love with Xiumin?'

>>>>>

"Come on Baek, easy on the eyeliner" i say batting at his hand.

Baekhyun blows out an exasperated breath "stop moving, you are going to mess me up and then i will have to start all over"

D.O. skips into the room "i have news" he says when he shuts the door.

"What?" Lay and Baekhyun ask together.

"Chen is questioning his feelings for you" he says smiling brightly.

"Really?" i ask feeling a tightening in my chest, maybe this really would work.

"Told you" Baekhyun says slapping my arm and starting to apply more makeup.

"Damn" D.O. says finally looking at me "Xiu, i think you should wear eyeliner more often"

I catch Baekhyuns hand before he slaps me again, but "told you" still slips out from his smirking lips.

A smile finds it's way onto my lips and i feel my cheeks turn slightly red. Chen might actually like me back, and i could possibly get a chance here. I hate to admit it but Baekhyun might just pull this off... maybe he really is a genius in his own way.

>>>>>

"Ok, there, you're finished, and i still have time to make myself perfect" Baekhyun brushes a strand of hair from his eyes with his middle finger "damn, i'm good"

I stand up, feeling awkward in such tight pants "i get putting on something sexy, but do these pants have to be this restricting?" i ask shuffling around trying to adjust myself in the pants, but stop and stare wide eyed when I catch sight of myself in the floor length mirror. I was dressed in painted-on tight black jeans with rips across the front all the way up to my thighs, and a very loose mesh, white tank-top that showed off my abs that i normally keep hidden. "What have you done to me?"

"Trust me, for a guy who is still deciding if he's into you, we need something drastic" Baekhyun says.

"And to be honest... you look really good in those" Lay says letting his eyes roam up my body, blushing slightly when he realized i was watching him.

I chuckle "if i can get you to look at me like that, then tonight might just be fun" i say.

D.O. flicks my head and i wince "but remember to stay by Chen's side, don't be a sl..." then D.O. stops and narrows his eyes "actually no... be a slut, be a huge slut but just shy of going home with someone else type slut"

I nod and swallow hard "so you want me to flirt and dance with other guys?"

Baekhyun nods "shamelessly"

I take in a deep, stabilizing breath "ok...let's do this"

After the others finish getting ready, we head out. Baekhyun pushes me ahead of them abruptly "here, you go first... i want him to be the first thing you see"

I sum up every bit of courage i have and pad down the hallway with the guys snickering and whispering behind me, heading to the awaiting group of guys in the living room.

Kai is the first to look up when i enter the living room and he jumps up with his eyes wide "shit" he curses but collects himself when D.O. follows me into the room giving him a 'don't even think about it' look

Everyone else looks up and i know they are staring but my eyes find the floor as the familiar heat spreads over my cheeks.

"Confidence Xiu" Baekhyun whispers in my ear before heading towards Chanyeol and slapping him on the arm for gawking.

I take a deep breath and look up directly into Chen's eyes which were bulging and surprised. He opens his mouth to say something, but nothing comes out so he closes it and swallows hard.

I smile shyly "are you ready to go?"

Chen flinches at my words like he was lost in his own thoughts "uh...y-yeah"

Suho calls out "lets go then" and i look to him to see his attempt at trying to suppress laughter.

I go to put on my coat when it's taken out of my hands. I turn to see Chen holding it out for me so i could put it on easier "thank you" i say while throwing my arms into it "i could have done it myself though"

Chen scratches the back of his neck "i know, but i wanted to"

"Come on, i want to dance" Baekhyun says taking my arm and pulling me towards the door "give him a nice view of your ass in those pants" Baekhyun whispers in my ear when we were out of ear shot.

I smile deviously as i feel a bit more confident over Chen's reaction and sway my hips from side to side a little more than normal causing not just one but a few sharp intakes of breath to sound through the room before Baekhyun and i walk out the door. 'oh yeah, this is defiantly going to be a fun night'

>>>>

We enter the club and I am immediately reminded why i love this place. Here we're treated just like normal people.. and to everyone here we are like normal people. You see club S isn't just a normal club, it's a secret underground dance club exclusively for idols. A safe place where we can come, dance, drink, and just have a good time without having to worry about getting caught on camera or being seen by the public. At the door our phones are checked just like our coats, and we are patted down by security to make sure no secondary device was being hidden.

I laugh excitedly when the security guy says he doesn't have to pay down my pants because they are so tight he would be able to see if i was hiding anything.

I make my way into the club, admiring the large mass of people dancing dangerously close to each other. The whole club was pretty much dark except for the dance floor which was lit up by strobe and black-lights, hints why everyone is wearing white shirts or pants. Hearing Got7's 'i like you' begin to play, my hips started moving in excitement.

"Oh i love this song" i say and immediately grab Lay's hand pulling him onto the dance floor, beginning to dance explicitly with him.

"Hey now, we said be a slut to make Chen jealous, not my boyfriend" Lay smiles watching Suho stare intently at us from the edge of the dance floor "though i do have a weak spot for jealous Suho"

I bark a laugh "just admit that you are not as innocent as you put on to be, and that you want to make him jealous"

Lay turns red "fine, but only for this song" then places an arm around my neck and pulls me to him forcing his one leg in between two of mine so we were basically grinding against each other. "if he'll last that long" Lay says glancing at Suho who looked as if he was about to blow a top.

I slipped my hands onto Lays hips sliding my body down his and dropping as low as possible before sliding slowly back up.

"Ok, fun's over" Suho says grabbing onto Lays arm and pulling him into his arms "Mine" he says pointing a finger at me and i just laugh throwing my hands up in defeat.

I head over to the table the guys had found still swinging my hips back in forth to the song "someone come dance with me" i yell over the music.

Chen smiles at me like he's about to accept when an arm slips around my waist "i'll dance with you baby"

I turn abruptly and a huge grin takes over my face "Heechul" i say jumping into his arms for a large hug.

Heechul pulls away laughing at my reaction "so what are you guys doing here? usually you Exo boys stay away from this type of scene, because clearly you guys are to innocent for it" he says ruffling my hair.

I smirk "oh heechul, you should know better than to call me innocent"

Hechul laughs and steps forward placing a hand on my hip "oh, now that may very well be true, i remember well..." he gives me a look and throws his head in the direction of the dance floor, "still want to dance?"

I nod enthusiastically and he takes my hand pulling me eagerly into the mass of people.

Heechul pulls me close, placing his hands on my hips while they sway back and forth "i like these" he says letting his hands trail around my hips and into my back pockets before taking them out and repositioning them in their original place. "though i'm a little disappointed they aren't meant for me"

"Meaning?"

Heechul smirks "these are the type of pants only worn when you want to get someones attention, and you clearly had no idea i was going to be here tonight"

I blush "ok, you caught me" then i start to pull away, but he holds me in place.

"I never said that i wouldn't help" he growls and bites the side of my neck lightly but in a way that made my blood boil.

I bite my lip to suppress a moan, when it came to heechul, the boy knew exactly how to tease me. "you're so bad" i say slapping his arm.

"You like it" he says in my ear grinding his crotch into mine briefly.

I chuckled and let my hand slide down his back to rest just above his ass slipping my fingers slightly into the waist of his jeans, before dropping down his body like i did to Lay earlier.

"Now who's being a tease" he says while his eyes darken when i come back up.

"Little innocent me? I'm an Exo boy, which means i'm pure at heart" i say with mock offence and pull away from him, turning around to walk away.

Heechul grabs my wrist and spins me around to face him "bullshit" he says before crashing his lips rough and needy against mine. Heechul pulls away to hiss against my ear "don't pull away from me again, or i will make you regret it"

In the heat that usually surrounds Heechul and i, we forgot what we were originally doing this for and it quickly became a game for us. I laugh darkly "promise?"

I duck down between his arms out of his grasp and rush off the dance floor, knowing he was fast on my heels.

I reach the table giggling hard, while Chanyeol and Lay stares at me in shock, and Baekhyun in approval.

"How's it going guys" i say but don't have time to hear their reactions when Heechul reaches me, due to the fact that he throws me over his shoulder.

I squeel and giggle loudly "Heechul" i say and pound lightly on his back as he carries me to the bathroom.

"Was it the one who was staring at me like he was going to kill me at the table?" Heechul asks setting me down when we entered the men's room.

I think, trying to remember Chen's face, and a flash of his face comes to the front. "now that i think of it... Chen did look a bit pissed off, maybe i should go talk to him" i say turning, but Heechul catches my arm again.

"What did i say about walking away from me" he says grinning darkly at me "and trust me, this is driving him crazy... he'll come to us... but how should we let him find us?"

A shiver runs up my spine "Heechul" i say warning him just as he pushes me against the bathroom wall and starts kissing my neck.

My breaths start coming out in fast pants and my hands fly to his shirt grasping at it wildly "god, i can't believe you can still do this to me" i say.

Heechul laughs "i figured out your body a long time ago baby" causing me to moan out his name.

Suddenly Heechuls touches disappear from my body and i whimper at the loss. I open my eyes only to realize that i had closed them, to see Heechul pushed up against the wall opposite me and pinned there by a very angry looking Chen.

Heechul smiles a smooth smile and holds up his hands "no harm meant man, if he had a boyfriend he should have told me"

"i'm not his boyfriend" Chen says but it sounded like a growl.

"Well then...If you would excuse us, we were kind of in the middle of something" Heechul says making a move but Chen slaps the wall beside his head making him still once more.

"Stay away from him, go find some other play thing" Chen says then releases Heechul and steps back making sure to stand so he's blocking any and all access to me.

Heechul laughs without humor, "you know for someone who isn't a boyfriend, you sound a hell of a lot like one" and exits the room, after sending a quick wink at me.

"Is that what you're into?" Chen asks without turning around.

I sigh "i know he seems a bit intense to most people, but he's really a good guy.. and he helped me get past a really hard time in my life..."

Chen turns to finally look at me, a white anger apparent in his eyes "you deserve better than... that" he gestures to the door that Heechul just left though.

I shake my head "don't talk about him like that, you don't know him" i say getting angry at the insults thrown at my friend.

"And you do?" Chen yells.

"Yes i do, we are very close, in fact i've spent many nights with him" i say but immediately regret it.

"You two... you've..." Chen takes a deep breath and looks away from me. "recently?"

"No, it's been a while since we've hooked up" my voice coming out slightly above a whisper.

"Would you have tonight if i hadn't of stopped you?" Chen asks sounding more broken than mad now.

I want to tell him no, or maybe direct my answer in a way that makes it sound like i wasn't sure, but in the end i decided on honesty "yes" my vocie trembles and i feel like sliding out of the bathroom window and disappearing.

Chen huffs out an angry breath and grasps the bathroom sink tightly for support, trying to calm himself.

I step forward and reach out slowly to place a hand on his shoulder causing him to flinch at my touch, but he doesn't pull away "why are you so angry?" i ask.

"I. Don't. Know. That's one of the reasons i'm angry" he says growling at his frustration.

I can't help the smile that tugs at the corner of my lips "Chen, answer truthfully... Are you jealous?"

Chen looks up in the mirror finding my eyes and nods slightly. I suck in a breath and it becomes difficult to swallow.

"Chen..." i start but Sehun walks into the bathroom

"Guys everyone is wondering where you are" he says and Chen glares at him.

"Oh. My. God." he grabs Sehun and pulls him into a headlock "you are such a cock-block, can't you see that we are in the middle of an important conversation"

Sehun winces and bats at Chen's hand "owe, i'm sorry hyung, the other guys sent me in"

Chen lets go of Sehun "go away, we'll be out there soon" as Sehun starts to leave Chen kicks him in the ass receiving a yelp from the young boy.

I laugh "are you done abusing the poor maknae?"

Chen smiles "he deserves it, he should learn to knock or read a situation... now where were we?"

I sigh and bite my lip "can we go dance?"

Chen lifts an eyebrow "together?"

I snort "unless you want me to go find Heechul again"

Chen's eyes narrow and he grabs my wrist pulling me out of the bathroom and onto the dance floor. I wrap my arms around his neck and he places his hands on my waist while we sway to the music. I don't now how long we dance for, but by the time we decide to sit down due to exhaustion, everyone else is sitting at the table tired and ready to call it a night.

"Well lets go then" i suggest, but Baekhyun sighs and nods toward the dance floor.

What i find there surprises me, Tao is held tightly and dancing quiet heatedly with heechul. I shake my head and walk onto the dance floor, where i pull Tao out of Heechuls arms.

"Come on little panda, time to go" i say and Tao smiles at me looking a little dazed "yeah, i know how you feel" i say laughing.

Heechul chuckles "come on Xiu, don't tell me you're jealous"

"Not at all, i just know you. I have to take care of my dongsaeng... which means protecting him from sexual deviants like you" i say and Suho comes up behind me taking Tao from me and leading him towards the exit, followed by the rest of Exo... besides Chen.

Heechul leans toward me whispering in my ear "boyfriend?"

I sigh "not yet"

Heechul pats my shoulder "don't worry he's almost there, and i like this one... a lot better than that last one" he says clenching his jaw "i don't want to have to come pick you up off the floor again, this one better treat you correctly"

I smile "don't worry, i have a feeling he'll treat me better than anyone ever has"

Heechul chuckles again "well maybe not anyone" and kisses my cheek lightly, which prompted Chen to step in and grab my arm pulling me after the other boys.

Chickens!! My darling Chickens!

How did you like this chappie?? i hope you don't mind me bringing Heechul in, he kind of becomes very important later so nothing can really be done if you don't like Heechul. But stay tuned for the next Chappie, it'll be a good one with all kinds of action packed goodness!!

As always my dears, i love you!!

사랑해💕
