~Daesung~

I take in a deep calming breath, before I start up the stairs to the familiar room I know almost as well as my own. I've done this action a million times, but today it's different, today everything changes.

When I finally reach the top step, I feel my resolve breaking. I could run out of here, I could leave right now, and he'd never know what was about to happen. but before I can even pivot on my heels I hear Seunghyun's words running through my head.

"you'll lose him if you force yourself to except something now that you won't be able to later. At least if you tell him how you feel, you have a chance at being the one he forms that happy life with instead of the one watching from the sidelines with a forced smile"

I roll my eyes, even in my head Seunghyun is annoyingly present, he won't just let me live in my happy little dream world like I want, but then again he's also right, I can't accept watching from the sidelines... so here i am.

I take the necessary steps forward towards Youngbae's door, which feels vaguely reminiscent of marching to my death. I swing the door open, greeted with a familiar scene I've seen way to many times to count.

Youngbae sits in his desk chair, facing his unnecessarily large TV, with a controller in hand, clicking away at the buttons. He notices me the minute the door opens though and pauses the game, turning and offering me one of his face splitting grins.

"Hey Dae, what's up man?" He asks, completely oblivious to what's about to happen.

I shake my head, avoiding eye contact "not much..." I swallow the giant lump that's formed in my throat and muster up any amount of strength I can find "well actually I kinda do have something I've been wanting to talk to you about"

"Oh? What is it?" He questions, his features taking on a serious resolve.

I sigh and move further into the room, my every movement monitored closely "well I went out yesterday with Seunghyun and..."

"Ugh, was Jiyong there? I bet he was, that kid is like a damn kawola, always clinging onto Seunghyun"

I roll my eyes, and sit down on the edge of Youngbae's bed "Seriously Bae, whatever your little thing against Ji is, you need to get over it. He makes Seunghyun happy and that's all that matters, and no he wasn't there... actually he sent Seung out to spend time with friends because he didn't want him to lose touch with us"

"Woah, since when are you on his side?" Youngbae defends himself, pouting childishly.

"I'm on the side that makes sense Bae, Ji's a good guy, and I don't understand why you hate him" I point out, feeling a little fire pull at my emotions.

I honestly don't know what it is about Jiyong, but I can't help but like him. The second I met him, I knew he was a good guy who really loves Seunghyun and makes him happy. I could also tell that underneath all of his shy nervousness and apprehension is a really cool person, who I hope to one day call a friend.

Yongbae shakes his head angrily and it hits me that this isn't the conversation I wanted to have. I had this whole confession planned out, I had everything that I want to say perfectly articulated, but now it's completely crumpled to shit.

I can't even remember what I was about to say, but before I can come up with something to direct the conversation back to where it needs to be, Youngbae's voice stops me in my tracks.

"For years I've been taking care of that kid, for years I've been steadily gluing him back together after Ravi fucked him up... and then this little shit comes in, messing him up again... how am I supposed to act towards someone who puts my best friend through hell like that?" Youngbae asks, his eyes showing the depth of how much he really cares for Seunghyun.

Youngbae and I have been friends since we were little kids, we've always been best buddies. Our family's were really close even before Youngbae and I were born so it was only natural for him and me to grow up as friends. We were raised almost as brothers really. Then when we got into high school we weren't together as much due to conflicting schedules, but we still remained close.

I remember feeling slightly jealous when Youngbae made a friend out of the new kid, an intimidating looking guy with sad eyes named Seunghyun. They got close and Youngbae started taking special interest in Seunghyun, making it a point to spend extra time and attention on the boy that other people normally wouldn't.

It took me almost a year to really get close to Seunghyun myself, after that is, I got over my jealously issues with Youngbae spending so much time with him. Once I did though, I saw what Youngbae had in him, a certain level of helplessness that made you want to cling to him till he smiled at you.

Soon after our trio was born and we helped each other through the rough times, became the reason for the good times, and just became permanent fixtures in each others lives. I love Seung and Bae like my brothers... or well I use to, till last summer when everything changed for me.

But still Yongbae was there in the beginning for Seung, he was there to pick up the hardest of pieces to find, so this overprotective behavior he has, doesn't surprise me, but it does however worry me.

I sigh as sympathetically as I can "But he's not in hell Bae, they got together and now Seunghyun is even better than before... he actually went home last weekend"

Youngbae's head snaps up, his eyes locking on mine, as shock resonates through his features "what? To Busan? How do you know?"

"He told me, he even took Ji to Ravi's family's mausoleum and told him everything... Bae, you need to look past all of the stupid shit they went through before they got together and realize that they are really perfect for each other" I say softly, wanting this to really sink in. 'Because we're perfect for each other, too'

I want more than anything to tell Youngbae the truth, I want to grab his face in my hands and kiss the freaking stubbornness out of him, but he needs to understand this first, he needs to figure this out on his own.

"He's really happy, isn't he?" Youngbae suddenly asks, prompting a relived sigh to escape my lips.

"Yeah, he really is, and you would know that if you made an effort to spend more time with him instead of sulking in your room, playing video games" I point out.

Youngbae sighs and rubs his hands up and down his thighs, making my throat tighten slightly "I guess I could give the guy another chance, I mean it seems that Jiyong is going to be around for a while since they're living together already.. which the bastard didn't even have the balls to tell me about himself... I had to hear it from Taemin, fucking Taemin" I do my best to stifle a laugh at his stubbornness "well at least we're not completely out of the loop"

I chuckle "I have a feeling we're going to be getting closer to both of them now"

Youngbae rolls his eyes, but nods "sure, sure whatever... is this what you wanted to talk about? Were you sent here to pull my head out of my ass?"

I clear my throat and nervously shift "actually no, there's something I've been wanting to talk to you about"

Youngbae sits up straighter and stares at me, clearly giving me his undivided attention. I swallow a thick lump that's formed in my throat and knit my fingers together.

"Well like I said I was hanging out with Seung yesterday, and there's been something I've been struggling with that he's kind of been giving me advice on"

"What have you been struggling with? You could have came to me man, we're best friends too" he states a little offended that I went to Seung instead of him.

"Well this particular thing, is one of those things I can't go to you about" I say shyly.

"Why not?" Bae pouts, crossing his arms across his chest.

I sigh "because it-it's about you"

Youngbae stills "what about me?"

"Bae, I know we swore to never talk about what happened last summer at your dads cabin... but it's really something I just... I can't get it out of my head"

He places his hands on his knees, running them up and down his jeans, a nervous tick of sorts that he's always had "what do you mean... W-why can't you stop thinking about it"

I clear my throat awkwardly "because every time I close my eyes I imagine you kissing me, and when I'm lying in bed at night I imagine the way your arms felt wrapped around me, and whenever I hear my name roll off your tongue it sends shivers down my spine... Bae I haven't been able to get it out of my head since then because since last summer I've been slowly but surely falling in love with you"

"And I know you probably don't feel that way, and I know I'm potentially ruining our friendship by confessing all of this to you, but I-I can't sit idly by anymore without you knowing the truth, without telling you that I want you in every and any way possible... the thought of loosing you as a friend is terrifying, but the thought of only being your friend for the rest of my life hurts so bad it feels like I'm being torn in half"

I take a deep breath and blink tears out of my eyes, hoping to God he doesn't stop me now, and luckily he doesn't "I know I'm being selfish right now, I know I could be ruining a life time worth of friendship, but I need to take this chance Bae, I need to put my heart out there for the fraction of a chance that you may accept it, because that's how much I love you"

I take in some more air, aiming to continue, but I'm stopped by fingers pinching my lips together, silencing me before I can metaphorically vomit any more words. I realize that my gaze has found its way to the floor and the room is awkwardly silent besides my shaky and terrified breathing.

I wait for the sentence that will break my heart, I wait for the rejection that is bound to come, but nothing else follows. I finally gather the strength to look up, and I find Youngbae staring at me wide eyed, with his jaw slightly dropped.

Apologies start falling from my lips, completely unapproved before I can even think properly "I-I'm sorry this... this is stupid... I didn't mean to drop all of this on you so suddenly... I'm, I'm sorry" I mumble, my lips still pinched together and he lets me go finally realizing this. I start to get up, but Youngbae grabs onto my wrist and yanks me back down.

"Why haven't you said anything, it's been a long fucking time since my dads cabin Dae" Youngbae whispers, but it comes out almost like a hiss.

I shrug, and bite at my lip, hating how tight his eyes are right now "I figured it wouldn't be something you'd want to hear"

Youngbae clears his throat and blinks rapidly, a sort of panicky gesture he does when he's trying to process something.

"D-Daesung... I'm not sure what you want me to do here... I-I don't know what to say" he says his eyes suddenly filling with remorse.

My lip trembles "you don't have to say anything... this was stupid of me to do, I shouldn't have... I shouldn't have even come here"

"Dae..." he starts but I stop him with a shake of my head.

"Don't... don't try to force anything to come out...I get it. I don't regret telling you... you know now and that's a huge weight off of my shoulders" I attempt a smile, but I know it's not even in the slightest bit convincing.

"Dae... listen to me" he try's again, but I don't think I can stand to here those words, those damn words that are bound to come out of his mouth 'I love you, but not in that way'

I stand up again, successfully avoiding Youngbae's grabbing hands, attempting to get me to sit down and listen to my own personal hell come out of my best friends mouth. I get two feet from the door before I'm grabbed from behind, picked up, and thrown back onto the bed, staring up into wide, almost angry eyes.

Youngbae has me pinned down on his bed, my legs locked under his hips, while my hands are held above my head.

"Listen to me" he pleads.

Tears brim up in my eyes and spill down the sides of my face, but all I can do is nod and listen now... I have no choice but to hear those words.

"Do you think you're the only one who was there that night? Do you think that I wasn't just as captivated by that kiss as you were? It takes a lot more than a bottle of vodka to create a connection... a spark like that Dae... I may have been fuzzy, but I remember everything" he leans down, nearly pressing his lips against the base of my ear "I remember the way your breath hitched when my fingers touched the bare skin along your lower back, I remember the way you body arched into mine when I pulled you close, and I especially remember the feeling of electricity that pulsed through my veins when your lips touched mine... and I also remember wanting more of you"

I tremble as my mind tries to make sense of his words, as I try to work out exactly what this means "don't toy with me Bae, if you're going to break my heart, just do it already"

Youngbae pulls back "no Daesung, I refuse to break your heart, in fact I want it. I want your heart to belong to me Dae, and in return I'll give you mine"

My lips separate and my eyes widen "what... what are you saying?"

Youngbae snorts and rolls his eyes at me "it means I love you too, stupid"

He leans down and brushes his lips lightly against mine, like he's trying to nudge them back to life. I swallow hard, finally connecting the dots, and realizing that this is actually happening, that, not only is Bae not pushing me away in disgust but he wants me too.

Emotions suddenly take me over and tears start to flow down my face, as sob breaks my lips. Youngbae's eyes owlize and his hands flutter all over my upper body, but never making contact anywhere.

"What's wrong, what's happening? Are you ok? Did I hurt you?" He starts firing off questions in a panicked manor.

A small laugh leaves my lips at how endearing the act is, and receive a confused, questioning look in return "I'm fine... it's just a little overwhelming... I guess...I just realized that I never expected you to feel the same"

Bae sighs in relief and smiles "of course I do, I just didn't think you were ready to accept something like that... you never really showed interest in dating before"

I snort "that's because I've been hung up on you idiot"

He shrugs and lets his hand find purchase on my cheek "I'm sorry, I should have said something sooner, I had no idea you were having such a hard time with this"

I blink at him "so wait... you knew how I felt?"

Youngbae nods sheepishly "you didn't exactly make it a secret Dae, I've just been waiting for a sign that you were ready"

I groan and hide my face in my hands "do you know how stressed all of this has made me"

I hear a chuckle then feel a soft warmth press against my temple. I slowly drop my hands and peek up at him, just before he softly kisses my forehead, then my cheek, followed lastly by my lips. He presses lightly, his hand moving to the back of my head, caressing it tenderly like I'm some fragile thing he needs to be delicate with.

Youngbae's lips aren't what I remember them being, they're softer this time and more direct, not just a sloppy mishap that happened because vodka should never be served in jello form.

"Daesung... I love you" Youngbae whispers against my lips.

Tears brim at my eyes again and I cling tightly to the boy on top of me, letting my heart fill with warmth and happiness "I love you too Youngbae"

>>>>

I walk into school the next day, excited and a bit nervous. After Youngbae kissed me yesterday we were kind of interrupted my my mom calling me home, and I, in a storm of embarrassment and awkwardness left without really saying much to him. I was worried that maybe he'd be mad at me, but I received a text telling me goodnight from Bae before I fell asleep last night, so I don't think he's too upset about me leaving like that.

"Good morning" Youngbae says, coming up beside me and grabbing my hand.

I startle a bit, jumping slightly "o-oh... g-good morning"

Youngbae smiles at me "why so jumpy? It's just me Daesung, we don't need to be all nervous around each other just because of what happened last night... actually it should relieve some of the tension"

I think back and groan at how jumbled and stupid my confession was "can you... please just disregard what I said yesturday, it was awful and stupid... I swear I had something better planned out"

Youngbae snorts "it was cute and completely you... I loved it"

I blink at him and open my mouth, but shut it again once I realize I have nothing to say in response to that.

"It's ok if you want to take it slow though, I understand" he says, clear disappointment slipping across his eyes, as he tries to pry his hand out of mine.

"No" I say a little too loud, which awards me with a goofy grin "I mean, I don't mind, I'm just a little surprised is all... I kind of left before we really got to talk yesterday"

Bae nods, playfully pouting at me "I know, you kind of left me hanging before we could get our cuddle on"

I'm about to apologize when the only words that matter from that sentence finally resonate in my brain.

"Wait... what?"

"What? Did you think I wasn't the cuddling type? Well you are very wrong Kang Daesung, I am very much of a giant teddy bear, who feeds off of cuddles and kisses... so you better feed me regularly " Bae jokes, but I barley hear him.

I quickly wrap my arms around his neck and push him back till he hits the locker clad wall behind him. My lips find his easily, and he wraps his arms around my waist pulling me tighter against him as our lips synch in a sweet kiss. It's perfect, Youngbae's lips are just right, not too soft, but not rough either, and they are warm, so amazingly warm. Tingles travel through my body, shooting straight to my stomach making it erupt in a fluttery sensation.

Youngbae snorts when we eventually pull away "I guess that's a 'no' to going slow?"

I shake my head "I've been going slow with you for years Bae, I just want you now"

He smirks at me and is about to lean in for another kiss when an unmistakable voice breaks through our little happy bubble.

"Oh my fucking God" Seunghyun shouts, running up to us "you guys got together didn't you? You two finally pulled your head out of your ass's"

I feel my cheeks heat up, so I bury my face into the crook of Youngbae's neck "make him go away" I mumble.

I hear a loud smack, then Youngbae's annoyed voice "stop making my boyfriend embarrassed, you ass"

"Boyfriend. Ah, he said it" Seunghyun cheers "I can't believe it, do you know how long I've been waiting for this?"

Suddenly I feel an arm surround me and then I'm smushed into Youngbae and being squeezed by the arm around my back. I lift my head up to find Seunghyun with his arms wrapped around both Bae and me, giving the both of us a huge bear hug.

But he lets go quickly when Youngbae pinches onto his arm and twists "don't touch my boyfriend" he says, once again using that word, that wonderful word.

"Seung, lets just leave them alone, this is probably still pretty new for them... Remember how we were the first couple of days after we finally got together" I glance over to find Ji pulling lightly on Seung's arm.

I'm thankful to the boy, but at the same time an alarm rings in my head at exhausted undertone in his voice and the way his eyes droop, not really focusing on anything. He kind of looks ghostly white, and his body is taking on a fail appearance.

I pull away from Youngbae, ignoring the displeased look I receive, as concern for the boy makes me forget everything else "Ji, are you ok?"

He stops his actions and looks at me caught off guard by my worry "I'm fine"

"You don't look fine" I push at him, wanting to just wrap my arms around him and rock him like a child.

He offers me an unconvincing smile "I'm ok, just haven't been getting a lot of sleep lately, don't worry about it"

"Ji, you forgot this at home" Minji says breaking into our conversation, as she waves at him from down the hall with a book in her hand.

He turns to us and nods "excuse me for a second"

Once he's out of ear shot, I turn to Seung, who had dropped his head in the mist if Ji and my conversation "ok, what's going on? He looks like he's falling apart"

Seunghyun absentmindedly reaches out and pulls me into a hug, words start falling from his lips in a rushed whisper "he's scaring the crap out of me Dae, he keeps having nightmares, when he actually does sleep that is... he's not eating, he's barely functioning and I'm so terrified that something is about to go wrong"

I tighten my hold around him "hey, it's ok, it's going to be alright"

"I may not know him that well Seung, but I can tell that he's a strong guy... he'll be ok" Youngbae offers and we both pull back to stare at him in shock "what?"

"I just... I've never heard you say anything nice about Ji before" Seung comments.

"Well he is a pretty cool guy and he makes you happy... that's all that matters right?" Youngbae says suddenly finding his shoes really interesting "Dae may have convinced me last night to give him another chance... and I think it's a good idea"

Seung suddenly grins so hard I fear he'll pull a facial muscle "dude, you two haven't even been together for a whole twenty four hours and you're already whipped"

"Am not, you're the whipped one"

"Oh I do not deny that, I am very happily so actually, but I never imagined you being like this... it's fantastic" Seunghyun teases.

"Babe, leave them alone, let them adjust to their relationship before you go giving them a hard time" Ji pops up out of nowhere between me and Seung.

I yelp in surprise and jump back, causing Ji to offer me an apologetic look. I laugh and smile at him, making it known that it's all good.

"How do you do that? I swear you don't make a single sound when you move" I observe.

The corners of Ji's mouth lifts up, like he's enjoying a joke no one else is aware of "I just got good at being invisible I guess"

I laugh and throw my arm around his shoulders, but quickly remove it when he tenses and gets a terrified look across his face. Seunghyun shoots me a look of understanding and pulls Ji into his side, tucking him under his arm like a little bird.

"Well we will leave the new happy couple alone to 'adjust'" he says throwing up air quotes at the word adjust before turning around and leading the two of them down the hall.

"He worries me, do you think he's really ok?" I ask, once they're out of earshot, staring after the two.

Youngbae grabs my hand once again "he'll be find Dae, trust me with a guy like Seung by your side, you can get through almost anything"

I smile and glance at my bestfriend "so, boyfriend huh?"

Youngbae grins sheepishly "I liked the ring it had, and I know we didn't talk about it but I kind of just took the liberty of defining us"

I nod and place a hand on his cheek "I like it... it sounds... right"

Youngbae leans forward placing a quick kiss to my lips "that's just what I was thinking"

>>>>

"So wait you guys are dating?" Minji asks looking deeply disturbed and slightly panicked by the idea.

Youngbae beats me to it before I can answer her question "yes, we are boyfriends now"

Seunghyun grins at me from across the table and winks, while Ji is layed against his chest fast asleep.

"Seriously? But your not... gay" Minji whisper yells, since we're all trying to let Ji sleep in peace.

"I don't really know what I am, all i know is that I want to be with Daesung and I'm going to be with Daesung" Youngbae says patiently.

Minji looks down at her tray and frowns. I know all about how Minji feels about Yongbae, I have for a while, and I do feel bad for her because she's is my friend, but I can't seem to find it in me to feel guilty. I'm too happy and excited to let her bring me down.

Youngbae reaches down and places his hand on my knee squeezing lightly "she'll get over it" he whispers in my ear.

I smile shyly and nod, allowing Youngbae's hand to rest on my knee for the rest of lunch, even though the skin beneath his palm feels like it's on fire.

>>>>

"So I was thinking, we could maybe go out for dinner tonight instead of sitting at home watching a movie and ordering take out" Bae mentions casually, one evening while we're sitting around in his room, just spending time together.

I blink a couple times and glance up at the boy sitting across from me in his usual desk chair, acting indifferent. We've been together for almost a week now and Youngbae repeatedly surprises me, like one evening he randomly shows up at my house with food from my favorite takeout place and my favorite movie in hand, or the day he decided to drive down to the river after school and get ice cream, while watching the sunset. I had no idea Youngbae was so romantic, but every little thing he does makes me fall harder for him.

I clear my throat, pulling myself away from all of those wonderful memories "l-like a date?"

Youngbae shifts in his seat "I guess you can call it that"

I smile and slide across the bed, till I'm in touching distance of his chair. I then grab at the handles and turn it around, so he has no choice but to face me.

"Bae... are you suggesting that we go out on a date?" I grin at the way he shyly has his head tucked to his chin, avoiding my eyes.

This is the cute part about all of the romantic things he does, he acts really embarrassed and try's to pass it all of as no big deal, when in reality it's truly amazing.

"Well we kind of just went from best friends to being together... so I figured we could you know... do shit together in a public setting" more clicking sounds through the room as he mindlessly taps on his controller out of nervousness.

I chuckle and place my hands on the side of his face, so he has no choice but to look as me "say it Bae... we're not leaving till you say it"

His jaw tightens and he grumbles under his breath, but nonetheless "will you go on a date with me Daesung?" Comes out of his mouth.

I giggle and clap my hands together, jumping onto his lap and placing my arms around his neck "of course i will"

It's easy to tell that he's not really upset, when a small smile pulls at his lips. I can't help but lean down and capture them with my own, loving the way his lips feel against mine.

"So, date then?" I ask, jumping up, much to Youngbae's disappointment.

He stands up after a few seconds of more stubborn grumbling "fine, lets go, but when we come back I'm pinning you down on my bed and cuddling the shit out of you"

I laugh and grab his hand pulling him from the room "deal"

>>>>

"This place is nice" I comment, letting my eyes wonder around the room, observing the expensive looking decor.

Youngbae smiles "well since my father has discovered that we have started dating, he's literally shoving money at me to take you out, and it seems that our parents have had extensive conversations about what will happen when we finally get together... And it seems that our entire future as a couple is planned out"

I giggle in disbelief "no, really?"

He nods, trying to push down a smirk "they may be more open to our generation type ideals but they are still Korean parents and feel that our lives should take a certain route"

I snort "dear lord, so in their minds we're already married and having children, am I correct?"

Youngbae nods "oh yeah, we are having three kids by the way, two surrogate, and one adopted, so we can have kids that are biologically ours"

I blink at him "your serious aren't you?"

He sighs "I wish I wasn't Dae, i really wish I wasn't. I was ambushed the other night by my parents, who sat me down and proceeded to tell me how the rest of my life will go"

I reach across the table and take Bae's hand "it's alright Youngbae, it's our life... we don't need to listen to them... we'll live it however we choose"

Youngbae smiles lovingly at me, a type of smile I've seen before 'how could I have missed this so many times' I wonder how blind I have been to all of the signs, every little indication that pointed to the obvious. This whole time I've obsessed and dismayed about loving my best friend, I never saw the truth, I never took the time to look deeper and find that love that mirrored mine.

I was constantly worried over how I felt, over how hard it's been coexisting with a person that I'm in love with, someone who I thought didn't feel the same, when in actuality he really did feel the same and has been hurting just as much as I have. How could I have put my own feeling and thoughts before the man I'm in love with? How could I have completely glazed over his feelings, thinking my own as more important? It was selfish of me and completely mindless, Youngbae deserves better, Youngbae should have been regarded with just as much sincerity as I had for myself.

"Bae?" I ask suddenly, pulling the boy across the table away from his food for a second.

"Yeah?"

"Did you ever get upset by how oblivious I was to your own feelings for me?" I ask, unable to look up at him

"Of course not Daesung, actually I thought it was kind of cute how you didn't see it... you were so worried that I would find you out, that you didn't see how much I craved to be with you as well. It was actually kind of funny to watch you try to cover up something you just said or did that could give you away, when I basically already knew"

I think of something and glance up, meeting his eyes "I'm curious... would you have told me on your own?"

Youngbae nods "yeah, i actually had it planned out, that if you didn't tell me on your own by the end of the year I was going to confess in a grand gesture type of way"

I lift and eyebrow at this "oh really? And what grand gesture did you have planned?"

Youngbae smiles "I was going to take you to every spot that we've ever shared an important memory and then we'd finally end our journey at my dads cabin, where I'd tell you that that was the place I finally came to terms with my feelings for you and confess my love to you"

"That's really romantic Bae, I'm surprised" I say, noticing how heated my cheeks have gotten.

He chuckles "well I didn't exactly have pure intentions after I confessed"

"Oh really?" I ask, feeling a warm ball tighten in my lower abdomen "what exactly did you have in mind?"

Youngbae chuckles again, but this time there's a heat to it "i had a few ideas""

I snort at him "oh yeah? And what makes you think I would have allowed that? I mean you haven't even put a ring on it yet?"

Youngbae lifts an eyebrow, amused "I have my ways Dae, I can be very convincing"

I lean forward with a smirk and a challenge deeply imbedded in my voice "try me"

>>>>

We end up at my house, cuddled snuggly into the large couch in my living room and into each other. A movie plays on the screen in front of us, but we've lost touch of anything happening with the plot twenty minutes after it started. The only thing I can find myself concentrating on is the way Youngbae's lips fit perfectly against mine, or how his hand travels up my torso underneath my shirt, torching my skin as his fingertips brush it with barely there but scorching touches, or how my name rolling of Youngbae's tongue is quickly becoming the playlist to my own unraveling.

My hands flit down to Youngbae's belt, slowly undoing it, and pulling it out of the loops, with a rushed and whooshing sound. Youngbae stills and pulls back from where he was push up against my chest.

"Wait, Dae... maybe we should stop" Youngbae glances down at the progress I made with his pants in a mixture of impress and concern.

My eyebrows shoot up "what do you mean? Why?"

Youngbae shifts nervously "well... I just don't think we're ready for that yet... I know we said all of those things back at the restaurant, but I didn't think you were taking me seriously"

I blink up at him "Bae, I've been in love with you for almost a year, and probably crushing on you for longer... trust me I'm ready"

His eyebrows pull together "really? I'm not pushing you into this?"

I giggle slightly and wrap my hand around the back of his neck, pulling him back to me "now who's being stupid?"

Our lips mold together once again, and I sigh contently into Youngbae's mouth, as he slips his tongue past my lips exposing every inch he can touch, like he memorizing every detail. Youngbae once again slips his warm, soft hands beneath my shirt, his fingertip gliding up with a directive this time. My breath hitches when I realize exactly where he's aiming. Before he reaches though, a familiar and suddenly annoying tune bursts into the silence of the room throwing water on the heat almost instantly.

Youngbae picks up his phone in an annoyed manor and answers, but refuses to remove his free hand from underneath my shirt, making me blush slightly at the possessive gesture.

"This better be good" Youngbae grunts crankily into the phone, he seems like he's about to slip more insults at whoevers calling, but is quickly silenced as his face turns from annoyed to concerned and slightly panicked.

I lean up, my eyes searching Bae's as the one sided conversation with whoevers on the other line continues. Eventually Youngbae, gets a chance to speak "ok, calm down, we're on our way"

Youngbae jumps up and starts pulling his belt back on, frantically rushing around stuffing his wallet and phone into his jeans.

"Youngbae, what's going on?" I ask watching him flit around the room -seeming to barely touch the ground- confused and slightly worried at his behavior.

He stops and turns to me "that was Seunghyun, we have to go"

My eyebrows pull together "why what's wrong?

He sighs heavily, letting a heavy atmosphere settle in the room "Jiyong's in the hospital"

My little Chicken's

There you go my lovelies, the BaeDae Chappie as requested, sorry for that little cliffhanger, but it's kind of an important setup for the next chapter, which is going to be a really detrimental one. So be patient with me on that one, i'll try not to take to take to much time with it, but I need to get it right. I hope you guys can understand that.

I love you guys, bunches and bunches!!

사랑해💕
