Baekhyun, Sehun, Junmyeon and Chanyeol ends up peeking outside the window of their own house at the couple (Kyungsoo and Jongin) who is now having their "quality time" on the couch in the living room.

Junmyeon sighs, whispering 'kids these days' to himself as he tugs Sehun's arm to not look because it's Rated R, and the scene is not suited for him.

"Suho hyung, you don't know Sehun. This kid and Luhan hyung did more than that!" Chanyeol says and Sehun kicks him on the shin with a threat of 'you-know-what-it-is-thing' as the maknae looks at Baekhyun (who is oblivious of everything, playing with his hands like a child) and back at Chanyeol while smirking. Chanyeol shakes his head frantically.

Chanyeol is dumb, along with the fact that he likes Baekhyun, and all living things know that except for the said boy who is, pouting at Chanyeol right now and Chanyeol thinks he's going to collapse right then and there.

Say something smart! Chanyeol tells himself because Baekhyun is pouting at him and oh god he's very cute like that and the others (Sehun and Junmyeon, especially Kyungsoo) can't help him in his crisis now so he settles for the most intelligent word he can give to Baekhyun.

"Guuuhh," Chanyeol says, drool almost flowing on the side of his mouth and Sehun and Junmyeon turns to look at him, judging him hard.

"What?" Baekhyun asks Chanyeol as the older snaps his beautiful, slender and girly fingers in front of Chanyeol. Being the dumb person he is, he follows Baekhyun's fingers with his eyes. He's sure he can see pixie dust and stars with it.

"Earth to Chanyeol!" Baekhyun shouts at Chanyeol's face, loud enough to bring Chanyeol back to reality. He can see Sehun giggling at his obvious fantasies as Junmyeon only rolls his eyes. Baekhyun waits for Chanyeol with a raised eyebrow to notice him.

"W-what did you say?" Chanyeol finally (and normally) turns to Baekhyun with full attention, though his heart is still beating erratically.

"I said, let's go eat ice cream. Sehun and Suho hyung can't come with me so I'm asking you instead."

"When? Like right now?" Chanyeol asks and the older nods. He notices that he's now alone with Baekhyun because a certain two great people he calls his friends are back inside the dorm, leaving him and Baekyun alone. How can he not notice it? Ah, of course, because of Baekhyun (and because he's dumb).

"Yeah. Sure!" Chanyeol answers and Baekhyun smiles at him. Wow, he's really sure now he can see pink background with flowers behind Baekhyun while his hair is bouncing in the air gracefully--

"Chanyeol! Are you okay?"

"Huh?"

"Ohmygod, I think something is wrong with you. You're spacing out!"

"Am I?"

"Yes, obviously. Now, as I was saying..."

And Baekhyun keeps on babbling about the members as they head to the nearest icecream shop.

Chanyeol's too busy looking at Baekhyun's mouth as it goes closed and open, and sometimes his cute canines are showing up with his tongue occasionally licking his lips and oh god, Baekhyun's voice is so sweet and what's he's saying right now is not important, not that Chanyeol could process that anyway.

"What flavor do you want?" Baekhyun asks and Chanyeol skillfully points at the monitor above the counter without sparing a single glance at it, his eyes still looking at Baekhyun, that he has almost poked the cashier in the eye.

"Oh...kay? You want a bitter melon ice cream?" Baekhyun narrows his eyes at the label and Chanyeol just nods, too quick to be considered as normal.

"You really are weird today, Chanyeol. Well, you're always weird anyway!"

Baekhyun laughs at his own joke and Chanyeol finds himself laughing too, because a laughing Baekhyun equals to a laughing Chanyeol.

The ice cream is definitely bitter, Chanyeol realizes, as he scrunches his face after the taste lingers in his mouth.

"Why is this so bitter!?"

"That's bitter melon ice cream, Chanyeol. Of course it's bitter," Baekhyun says, a matter-of-factly while he eats his own vanilla ice cream.

Chanyeol frowns at his green gooey dessert. Well, it' okay at least he could see Baekhyun with ice cream mess on the side of his mouth right now, that he wants to lick it off for him-- what?

"Guh," Chanyeol says while staring at Baekhyun dumbly.

"What's wrong with you seriously?" Baekhyun asks, genuinely worried about Chanyeol's (mental) condition. He presses his palm against Chanyeol's forehead to feel if he has a fever or something.

Chanyeol's initial reaction is of course, to pull himself away from Baekhyun and blush hardly but wow, he doesn't do it.

He stares directly at Baekhyun's eyes, like a man as if he's pouring all of his feelings and Baekhyun suddenly stops, looking back at Chanyeol, waiting for him to says something.

"I like you," Chanyeol says, still shining eyes trained at Baekhyun, too seriously and not so Chanyeol-lish and idiotic as if the time has stopped in favor of the two of them.

Baekhyun withdraws his hands from Chanyeol's forehead and touches his cheeks in exchange, he smiles at him and Park Chanyeol thinks that finally, he has confessed his love for Byun Baekhyun.

"I like you too, Chanyeol."

And Chanyeol swears he's the happiest man alive on earth and he can see rainbows and hearts, and unicorns--

"--as well as Sehun and Suho hyung! And oh! I like Jongin too, and Kyungsoo! Even though he's always hitting me but yeah, I can see he's just like that. And you know..."

Chanyeol is dumb, and Baekhyun is dense as a rock

*

Chanyeol is moping, body flopped on the bed, too sad and disappointed with the downfall of his tragic lovelife. Sehun pats his back and traces soothing circles on his shoulders, and he's thankful that Sehun is part of the group.

"I'm charging this massage for 50,000 won."

What an ungrateful maknae. Chanyeol groans and cries like a kicked overgrown puppy while he curls like a ball.

"Seriously, Chanyeol hyung. What the hell is wrong? Last time you're all smiles and now you're a mess, getting snot and gross body fluids all over the sheets."

Chanyeol shoots up on the bed and makes a pitiful face at Sehun. The younger gags for a while with a 'stop doing that' to his hyung.

"Let me guess, you confessed to Baekhyun and you got rejected," Sehun concludes (because he's the smartest human in this dorm) and Chanyeol just nods, biting the pitiful pillow in his arms.

"What do I do now, Sehun? I like him, and he likes me!"

"I can't see a problem with that--

"--as much as he likes everbody!" Chanyeol finishes his hands gesturing on the air.

"Aw, that's bad.," Sehun says while shaking his head. He gives another massage on Chanyeol's arm and it's now 60,000 won.

"Now I'm going to be lonely, and live a miserable life alone with cats that I'm going to name Baekkie and I'll get old alone, and I'll die alone with my cats and--

"CHANYEOL!"

Both Sehun and Chanyeol turn towards the booming voice on the door of their room. Baekhyun is smiling widely at Chanyeol and Sehun caughs awkwardly as he makes his way out of the room with a knowing naughty look at Chanyeol.

"What," Chanyeol says as he avoids Baekhyun's eyes. He's moving on from a heartbreak, you know, and he can't get easily awestrucked to a smiling Baekhyun who is now walking towards him and oh god is he going to jump at him--

Chanyeol yelps when he feels Baekhyun's petite body pressed on his, his legs straddling Chanyeol's lower body as he practically rides on top of Chanyeol and oh no, it's not good.

"G-get off, Baek," Chanyeol manages to say but Baekhyun straddles him more and he can feel Baekhyun's butt just above his crotch. Shit.

"Chanyeol!"

"What!"

"Chanyeol!"

"What is it!!!?!

"SEHUN AND KYUNGSOO AND EVERYBODY SAID THAT YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON ME!"

Chanyeol wants to die now, but before that, he'll first castrate Sehun's bones and burn Kyungsoo's body, yes he'll do that so their souls will be on hell--

"Chanyeol! Park Chanyeol!" Baekhyun calls to a half alive Chanyeol while he continuously slaps his face with a pillow.

"Ohmygod, are you still breathing!? "

"Guh."

Baekhyun accidentally, or intentionally (no one actually knows) knees Chanyeol's private part where it hurts the most, and Chanyeol snaps back into the real world. He sits up causing him to bump into Baekhyun's forehead and the latter falls from Chanyeol's lap cutely like a stuffed doll.

"Ohmygod! I am so sorry, Baekhyun!" Chanyeol pulls Baekhyun up to his side. He inspects Baekhyun's forehead and he finds a small red hump on it.

Chanyeol wants to cry, because really, he's such a walking mess of a person, that he ends up hurting this angel, who's also the love of his life. He's having a panic attack that he's now fidgety, he's shaking and sweating abnormally.

"It's okay, it's okay Chanyeol. Don't worry," Baekhyun says and he's smiling regardless of his swollen forehead.

"I'm so dumb. I can't do anything right in front of you. I'm sorry, and now you hate me, and you'll not talk to me forever-- and yes I like you so much, and it's embarrassing I know. You can laugh now."

Chanyeol covers his face with his large hands as Baekhyun stares at him fondly. He waits for a laugh, or maybe a mocking tease, but he hears nothing. He then uncovers his face and sees a smiling Baekhyun, and he thinks, this is very illegal and it's a miracle he's still alive from too much feels inside his chest.

Baekhyun hugs him, right then and there, while he's having a mental battle whether he's going to squeal like a girl or pass out. But thankfully, he just hugs Baekhyun back, he's resting his chin on Baekhyun's shoulder and it feels warm, comfortable and relaxing.

"Chanyeol. It's okay. I won't hate you. Calm down," Baekhyun says in a soothing voice, and all the panicking nerves inside Chanyeol's body relax along with Baekhyun's hums and light pats on Chanyeol's back.

"Thank you for liking me. I may not return your feelings right now, but it doesn't mean I hate you."

Baekhyun releases from the hug and he kisses Chanyeol's cheek (because Sehun told him to do so and he also wants to kiss everybody's cheek, especially Chanyeol). Chanyeol wants to explode and once again enter the imaginary world, but he sets that aside as he holds Baekhyun's hand.

"I'll wait... Until you're ready to like me back," Chanyeol says and he's proud of himself for saying something more coherent than 'guh'.

He inches closer to Baekhyun, single breath separating their lips apart, and he barely notices the slight shock and blush on Baekhyun's face as if he's instantly mesmerized by Chanyeol.

Baekhyun closes his eyes as Chanyeol returns him the kiss, though in the lips, and Chanyeol thinks that he really is a brave man, now that he can feel Baekhyun's soft lips against his own--

"CHANYEOL!"

" . . . "

"CHANYEOL!"

"H-huh?"

Chanyeol blinks and looks around, only to find Baekhyun in front of him, with a face full of worry.

"You're spacing out... again," Baekhyun says and Chanyeol wishes the ground will open and swallow him instead so he would not deal with his spacing out problem, which only happens in front of Baekhyun.

"Did I say something, uhm, abnormal again?" Chanyeol asks and Baekhyun smiles at him.

"You know Chanyeol, I think I want to kiss you right now!"

And with that, Chanyeol thinks it's the right time to pass out, so he collapses on top of Baekhyun, while his left eye does the creepy twitching and his face plasters a dumb smile as if he's having an epeleptic seizure.

Well, it seems Chanyeol can't get rid of his problem when Baekhyun is always around, but Baekhyun likes it anyway.
