EXO STORIES

Love {MinKai}

While most people would forget about the beginning date, Minseok knew very well the exact days when everything happened, one by one leading them to the relationship they were currently maintaining. It didn't all happen during a rush, but rather through many moments that once tied together, build up who they are together now.

It was a Monday when Minseok first met him, a Tuesday when he got protected by him for the first time, a Wednesday when they started talking, a Thursday when they started becoming close, a Friday when his life got better, and it only took one weekend to start the relationship many would call 'friends with benefits.'

Saturday was when Kai took his virginity, and Sunday was when he left in the morning, committing an act they would repeat many times from then on. It never stopped with just one time, rather they kept doing it, and it increased the longer time went by.

Their preferred place was Minseok's house as the male's parents were always gone. He had suggested going to Kai's before but the male never seemed up for the idea, almost as if he didn't want them to grow too attached. Minseok was too late to realize that. 

At first, when they frequently had sex, he thought they were a thing, but once he noticed Kai was seeing others in the meantime, he came to the harsh realization that he wasn't the only one, that he never was one.

Knowing his feelings were far more than just lust, he continued seeing him, not quite sure why even if it'll only hurt him more in the end. Maybe he wanted to hold onto what they used to be, or could be, aware that Kai would forever leave him if he were to end this. 

Another part of him enjoyed his company, and if sex was the payment, so be it. Although Minseok knew he dreaded the aftercare where Kai would mostly leave him or sleep over and go later.

Just like now, Minseok carefully watched the male as he lay down, staring at his perfect body while Kai was changing into clothes. He suppressed a small sigh before sitting up, clutching the blankets.

"Do- Do you really have to go? Can't you stay a bit longer maybe?" He shyly asked, wrapping the sheets around him as he slowly stood up.

Kai only spared him a glance before slipping his jacket on, "I'm meeting someone else now, so if you want to sleep now that's fine with me, do whatever you want."

Minseok felt even worse after asking, knowing the answer already. "Kai, what are we? I know you don't want any commitment but.." He looked down, "I miss you when you're gone."

Kai sighed out. He hated this part the most when he had to make clear what their situation was. It happened too often.

"Minseok-ah, you're an amazing guy, not many out there like you. But I'm not into you that much, really, more into your body. I'm sorry, but we started this while both knowing what we were getting ourselves into."

Kai had pitiful eyes as he fully looked back at him, ready to head out the door, "If you want to stop, you can tell me. I take no offence. Just know when enough is enough if it starts hurting. It'll save you a lot of trouble."

He mouthed a goodbye before he exited his room, heading out of the house to whoever knew where. This did happen too often, it hadn't been the first time that Minseok asked this question, and he was stupid to hope for a different answer each time.

It was clear, they were having sex, that's all, nothing involving any type of love relations. While he hoped Kai would love him back, he knew there was no such thing, so he could only push back his feelings for him. Yet, he wasn't strong enough to cut off their unhealthy routine, he'd miss him too much if he'd do that, and it'd only make him crave the younger more.

Kai was right, Minseok was oblivious, it might be that exact reason why it didn't work out for long.
