Chapter Text

Three simple knocks– knock, knock, knock, on his apartment door. Baekhyun stood up from his couch, heading towards the door in small steps. A hand running through his hair once, then twice, slightly messing up his hair. A memory of Chanyeol having said that he likes his messy hair was a constant variable in his mind. His hand landed on the door knob, twisting it to open. The door opened to Chanyeol with an idiotic grin on his face.

“Hi.” Chanyeol breathed out, seemingly out of breath for some reason

A smile played on Baekhyun’s face

“Hi.” 

Baekhyun’s gaze flickered between Chanyeol’s eyes and to his lips that puffed out tiny bits of air 

“Why are you out of breath? Did you run here?”

“No,” Chanyeol huffed out, “I walked here.” 

Baekhyun raised an eyebrow in skepticism, but didn't say anything else about it. “Well– um, should we get going before it gets too late?”

A quiet laugh left Chanyeol, that stupid grin still on his face. “It’s 11:14, is that not late?”

“I meant more late, let’s go.” Baekhyun murmured, stepping out of his apartment and closing the door. Using the same hand, he pulled Chanyeol along. 

♬

Two pairs of footsteps against a concrete sidewalk, hushed yet not whispering voices. Crickets muffled under their voices. A quiet night out with the two of them, conversing away while their ice creams melted away in their hands.

“I honestly think beverly hills chihuahua 3 is the better movie out of the three.” Baekhyun shrugged, taking a tiny lick from his ice cream.

Chanyeol lets out an offended gasp, “Okay, I know you are not acting like beverly hills chihuahua 1 doesn't exist.” 

“I’m just saying, 3 is the better movie.” 

“No, no. 1 is the better movie because of numerous reasons. One, the first movie is actually the best thing that has ever been made. Like if it wasn't for the first one, then the third wouldn't even have been thought of–” Chanyeol rambled, and rambled on until they reached the children's playground 

“3 is better!” Baekhyun giggled before running towards the playground

Chanyeol let out a small sigh, running after Baekhyun. He eventually caught up to Baekhyun, as he didn't run as far. Engulfing the other in a hug from behind, he simply huffed.

“1 will always be the better movie.”

Chanyeol practically dragged Baekhyun to one of the many benches in the park, forcing him to sit down. 

“You have the nerve to say that and then run away.” Chanyeol shook his head in disappointment

“I deserve a punishment, don't I?” Baekhyun grinned, seeing the shocked yet flustered expression on the other's face

“Okay, I’m regretting asking you to go out somewhere.” 

“But are you really?” Baekhyun’s hand gently grabbed the taller’s arm, pulling him closer. His hand trailing down till it reached Chanyeol’s own hand, intertwining their hands together. A tilt of his head as he looked up at Chanyeol.

Chanyeol stood still, his lips parted open as if he was going to speak but no words left his mouth. His gaze completely locked on Baekhyun. 

A teasing grin on Baekhyun’s lips as he stood up, keeping their hands intertwined. Up in the taller’s personal space, his other hand reached for Chanyeol’s other hand to also intertwine with. 

“Baekhyun..” Chanyeol muttered softly, though heard by the said man. 

Abruptly, both their phone buzzed with multiple notifications. The group chat.

♬

“You really cried to beverly hills chihuahua?” Baekhyun asked, looking up from his phone to look at Chanyeol.

The taller looked away from Baekhyun, to hide his embarrassment, “No, I didn't.”

“Are you lying to the gc or to me?” 

“I think we should get going, it's getting late.” Chanyeol reverted the conversation, his eyes not meeting baekhyun. 

Baekhyun giggled, “Okay, fine let’s go.”

Their footsteps began once more again against the concrete sidewalk, the nightly chilly breeze was grounding. Comfortable silence filled the air. Walking side by side, their hands brushed against each other with subtle touches. Their gazes looked towards each other than quickly looking away once again. An intimate moment between the two.

“Look, I- um..” Chanyeol began, halting his walking.

Hearing Chanyeol, Baekhyun also stopped walking. His gaze meeting the other’s, he watched as Chanyeol tried to speak.

“Baekhyun, listen.”

“I’m listening..” Baekhyun murmured, his hand instinctively reaching for the taller’s hand.

Chanyeol sighed nervously, “Look, I really like you, and um.. can I- can I be your boyfriend?”

“I- oh,” Baekhyun smiled softly, “I think I would really like that.”

“Really? Are you serious?” Chanyeol asked, desperately needing the reassurance.

“Yes, yes I am. I am so serious.” 

“Thank god, oh my goodness,” Chanyeol breathed out a sigh of relief, “You don't know the amount of courage I gathered just to ask you to be out here with me, let alone to ask you to be yours.”

Baekhyun still had that soft smile, listening to his best friend– no, boyfriend speak. 

“I think we should get home, it's getting kinda late.” His hand intertwining with Chanyeol’s, Baekhyun began his walking again.

“I was honestly surprised you said yes, I thought you'd say no.” 

“I never expected you to actually confess to me. I guess we were both oblivious.” Baekhyun smiled, gently leaning against Chanyeol as they walked.

Chanyeol laughed, a quiet yet warm sound. Though it resonated with Baekhyun, a new sense of comfort. 

A hushed conversation as they walked down the concrete sidewalk, wide smiles that never left faces. The moonlight lightened everything under it, including the two. 

Finally, they reached Baekhyun’s apartment. Standing in front of the apartment door, Chanyeol sighed in disappointment.

“What? You wanna come inside with me?” Baekhyun teased, but didn't expect the other to actually answer.

“Yes.”

“Oh.” 

“So can I come inside?” Chanyeol asked, a hint of innocent hope in his eyes.

Baekhyun sighed, shaking his head in disbelief, but reluctantly answered anyway. “Fine, come inside.”

jongin: we can lowkey see that

♬

The apartment door creaked open slightly, Sehun peaked inside before fully opening the door to let himself in. He, slowly but surely, closed the door behind him, the door making that creaking sound once more. He turned around, expecting everyone to be spread out in Baekhyun’s living room, instead everyone was surrounding the small dining table somehow, taking up each and every seat there was.

“Are you guys stupid? There’s like so much more room on his damn couches.” Sehun said, his finger pointing at every empty spot in the living room.

Sehun shook his head in complete disbelief and disappointment at his friends’ stupidity. A whole two couches, and yet they decide to crowd a table that can only seat 4 people at a time, unless you try to actually fit more people. It was like the couches were just a simple decoration. Absolute idiots but they’re his friends so that really meant he was also stupid for being their friend. 

Yixing frowned at Sehun’s loud voice, using the spoon in his hand to point at the latter. “Remember, don’t be too loud or else we will wake them and they’ll kick us out.” 

“Well anyway,” Jongin began, changing the topic of the conversation, “how did you guys even get stuck in the elevator? Like deadass, how does that happen?” 

“To be honest, we both don’t know how it happened. It just, you know, happened. We were just standing there and boom, it just stopped moving. I’m honestly thinking it was that damn elevator music, so evil..” Minseok explained, faking a small shiver at the thought of the elevator music. 

Jongdae chimed in, “Honestly, very.. unique experience I must say, but I wouldn’t recommend it unless you wanna hear the evil elevator music.” This drew small laughs from everyone around the small table. 

The chatter died after that comment, the group of friends sat around the small dining table in absolute silence. Just the sound of Baekhyun’s air conditioner running and a few of them munching on some chips. All waiting for one man to get there, Kyungsoo. For him to cook the five star meal he promised them earlier in the group chat. 

“I’m like honestly so bored bruh.” Sehun whined, sighing with much disappointment as he sat back in his seat. He was very disappointed tonight at everyone and everything for some reason. 

Unexpectedly, the front door of the apartment swung open with much force. The door knob harshly hitting against the wall with heavy thud. The one man that they all have been waiting for, the one and only Kyungsoo, ready as ever to cook food for them. 

“Oh and they are now probably awake with how loud Kyungsoo’s entrance was.” Jongin rolled his eyes at the fact that their plan was probably ruined because of Kyungsoo, a clear sign of his disappointment was from the small frown on his lips. 

“Oh please, I wasn’t even that loud. Define loud for me.” Kyungsoo replied, shooting Jongin the most unamused look ever. His footsteps quiet against the carpeted floor as he walked through the door and towards the kitchen, completely ignoring the crowded tiny dining table, more focused on his mission of cooking. 

“Well, okay. I’ll search it up for you.” Minseok shrugged, pulling out his phone to google the meaning of the word per to Kyungsoo’s sarcastic question. “Okay.. so it means producing or capable of producing much noise: easily audible. Does that answer your question?”

“Minseok, I don’t think you needed to actually define loud for him. This is frying me so bad. ” Jongin giggled, a muffled giggle behind his hand that tried to stifle his laughter.

“I don’t think frying yourself is healthy, isn’t that like, a death wish?” Junmyeon questioned, shooting Jongin a very concerned look, worried for his wellbeing.

“Okay we get it. You’re an unc, Junmyeon.” Sehun commented. 

“Well.. we’ve already established the fact that Junmyeon’s an unc. We do not need to repeat it.” Jongin shook his head, but continued his words. “But whatever, get to cooking, cook boy. Chop chop, we are literally starving.” He clapped his hands together to add more emphasis to his words. 

“I am not your cook boy, be grateful that I’m even cooking for either of you. Better yet, be grateful that I’m even here.” Kyungsoo retorted, rolling his eyes alongside his words. Despite his words, he began preparing to cook for them. Rolling up the sleeves of his shirt and thoroughly washing his hands. 

“I am being grateful, but I’m not grateful about the fact that you’re not cooking right now. I’m just simply telling you to hurry your ass up before we all die of hunger.” Jongin replied almost instantly, smirking at Kyungsoo with one eyebrow raised at him.

Hearing their bickering, Sehun smiled mischievously. Whispering to Junmyeon, “We are watching a love story, enemies to lovers, I swear. Flirting all aggressively with each other, I really think they both have a degradation kink. They love to insult each other.”

Junmyeon furrowed his eyebrows, looking at Sehun with a very weirded out expression on his face at the words that were whispered to him. A quiet laugh in response to the expression from Sehun. 

Sitting the closest to the two, Jongdae heard the whisper, whispering as well to Sehun, “What the hell are you saying? Stop lying out of your ass please.” He shook his head, in disbelief that the other would say something like that.

“Lie out of my ass?” Sehun questioned, “I never lie, never in my entire life have I lied. Stop spreading misinformation.”

Yixing, having hearing Sehun’s absolute lie, rolled his eyes. “Sehun, please be so for real right now. You lie the most out of everyone here, stop playing.” 

“Didn't he lie to his professors once that his mom died just because he didn't want to go to class?” Jongin questioned, though not looking for an answer, rather it was just reminding everyone of the memory.

“Wait I remember that. That was hella funny because he had so much homework to do the next day and he complained to me like crazy.” Jongdae added to the memory.

Throughout the whole conversation that was being held in the area of the dining table, Kyungsoo kept his quiet. Never once butting into the chatter. However, he did hear Sehun’s comment about him and Jongin flirting. A small frown played on his face as he boiled the water for his delicious shrimp pasta.

That comment wouldn't leave his mind, it was something he hasn't heard before. Him and Jongin. An odd feeling settled in his stomach, not a negative one, rather an unfamiliar feeling. Something similar to.. love? He shook his head, no it wasn't that. It couldn't be that. He distracted himself with pouring the noodles into the water.

Kyungsoo busied himself with the food, cooking the shrimp under medium heat. The sizzling sound of the shrimp cooking muffled over the conversation of the others who chatted about which Disney movie is better.

“Bro, I do not play about Princess and the Frog. That movie has to be in the top two Disney movies of all time, and it’s not number two at all.” Jongin argued, pointing a finger of accusation towards Sehun.

“Why are you acting like The Lion King does not exist? It’s clearly number one, no argument. The best movie of all time, I don't care what anyone says.” Sehun bit back, pointing a finger at Jongin as well.

“Cinderalla is literally right there.” Jongdae pointed out, shrugging nonchalantly.

“Cinderalla is ass, like completely ass. Worst plot to ever exist, it's so stupid.” Sehun responded, completely dismissing Jongdae’s statement.

“Can I say High school Musical?” Junmyeon questioned, wanting to add something to the conversation.

“No.”

“No.”

“No.”

“Oh okay then.” Junmyeon accepted the rejection of his addition, nodding his head.

Kyungsoo, adding the cooked pasta into the pan with the sauce, interrupted their argument, “Food’s almost ready. Prepare your stomachs for my delicious shrimp pasta.” 

A few more minutes of arguing over the best Disney movie of all time, the shrimp pasta was eventually done. Kyungsoo evenly plated each bowl with the same amount of shrimps, knowing that his friends would fight over the shrimp if one person had more than the rest of them. 

“Can someone help me bring out all these bowls?” Kyungsoo asked, placing the last shrimp in the last bowl. Finally, all the bowls had the same amount of shrimp and no fights would break out over shrimp.

Almost instantly, Jongdae stood up from his seat to go help. Grabbing multiple plates at once as if he was a server at those fancy restaurants, with Kyungsoo trailing behind him with only two plates in each hand. 

Jongdae slowly placed the bowls on the table in front of the others, slowly so as not to make a sound, as it was plastic against glass and if he put the bowl down too fast it would make a loud noise. 

Kyungsoo, on the other hand, put the bowls in front of Jongdae’s seat and in front of him. Before even picking up his utensil, he watched the reactions of his friends as they dug into his shrimp pasta. All of them had expressions that easily showed that the pasta was absolutely delicious.

“This shit is so fucking yummy.” Jongin chewed mid bite as he spoke, pointing at the bowl in front of him. 

“Finally, you compliment me on something.” Kyungsoo pointed out, his gaze fixed on Jongin as he waited for a rebuttal, a reaction, anything from the other.

“The sexual tension between them is insane.” Sehun said a bit too loud for both of them to hear, only meaning for Junmyeon to hear.

Kyungsoo froze, completely stunned at Sehun’s words. Sexual tension? Between him and Jongin? Never. No, he doesn't want to have that with Jongin. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion, that odd feeling settling in his stomach again. That little comment earlier was already bad enough, now this? Sehun was a little shit. 

Jongin, however, smirked at Sehun’s words. A satisfactory smirk. He thanked whoever was above for Sehun, that man had absolutely no shame. An absolute godsend of a wingman, a stupid yet a smart wingman. He was forever in debt to Sehun.

“Okay, what the hell are all of you doing in my apartment. Better yet, why are you all eating pasta. It's literally 4 in the morning.” A voice was heard from the hallway, Baekhyun. He was in absolute disbelief that his whole friend group was currently inside his apartment and eating pasta. 

“Uh..testing your locks?” Yixing answered, shrugging as he took another shrimp into his mouth. 

“Exactly, we were testing your locks. Clearly, you should get them replaced.” Jongin added, backing Yixing’s reasoning up. 

“Bro, am I sleep walking?” Baekhyun questioned, more to himself rather than to everyone. Pinching himself, trying to wake himself up. “Dear lord, I’m not.”

“Okay, first of all, how did you guys get in my apartment?”
