The faults in Byun Baekhyun

Chapter 10: Confusion

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" The chant is the only thing that's running through Chanyeol's mind, and he can feel himself getting dizzy because of it. However, when Baekhyun laughs, it cuts through every other voice combined.

"Y'all idiots?" Baekhyun slurs, shaking his half-full beer at everybody (because for some reason he just keeps drinking and doesn't stop and doesn't pass out) and using his other hand to punch Chanyeol on the arm (not so lightly, either). "S'not like he'll kiss me even if you gave him a million bucks!" He laughs again and turns to Chanyeol.

What does Kyungsoo think about this? What will Kyungsoo say about this? I'll be fucking damned if I let this dare fucking ruin me!! Chanyeol thinks to himself, and this time he refuses to meet Kyungsoo's eyes, because he doesn't want to be judged by Kyungsoo. He doesn't want Kyungsoo to think he's in love with Baekhyun or anything. Because they hate each other. Hate will never turn to love.

But even as he thinks this, he knows he doesn't believe it.

"Am I right?" Baekhyun turns back to everybody and sets his beer down, probably finding it too heavy for his hand. "S'not like I'd kiss 'im either, even if I were given a chance to live again – " Baekhyun doesn't get to finish, because at that moment, Chanyeol has grabbed him by the cuff of his shirt and pulled him up, locking their lips fiercely.

Screw this. Chanyeol remembers thinking. Screw this screw this screw this!!!!!!!!! Screw this dare, screw you people, screw Oh Sehun, screw Do Kyungsoo, screw Byun Baekhyun!!! Screw Park Chanyeol!!

There is a silence between everyone, a shocking silence that chills everyone to the bone, because ...

Did Park Chanyeol just kiss Byun Baekhyun?

Chanyeol doesn't care about everyone right now, because all he's thinking about is kissing Byun Baekhyun. He can feel soft lips on his, not entirely moving with his, but still arousing and nice to kiss nonetheless. Chanyeol doesn't know how long it lasts, doesn't know what else he should do other than slam his lips against his enemy's, because honestly he's only kissed once or twice and they were only pecks to the lips. He feels a tingling sensation all over his body the moment he feels those lips on his, and maybe a small part of him would've admitted that he probably would have continued if Baekhyun didn't push him away harshly.

"What the fuck?" Baekhyun shouts, his face turned into a scowl, but Chanyeol doesn't respond because his head is dizzy and the feeling of Baekhyun's lips are lingering on his, spreading like wildfire and Chanyeol doesn't know how to stop his crazily beating heart.

"... Wow!" Sehun finishes, and when Chanyeol turns to look at everyone, he can see their jaws literally dropping open, except for Sehun, who's smiling gleefully. "I always knew y'all had it in ya!"

There is more silence, and Chanyeol begins to feel his skin heat up from everyone's shocked gaze. Just then, he gruffly mumbles nonsense and starts spinning the bottle. Before the bottle slows to a stop, however, Chanyeol can hear the door slam behind him, leaving the air chilly and colder than before. That's when he realises Kyungsoo is gone.

"Where's Kyungsoo?" Chanyeol asks just as the bottle stops on Kris. Chen shrugs.

"He just left." There is something in everyone's eyes, but Chanyeol can't quite read what they're trying to tell him. Instead, he shrugs and tries to think up of a dare for Kris.

He dares Kris to do something stupid, like lie on the floor and stop talking for the rest of the game. He can't think properly, and even though for the rest of the night, everything goes on normally as if nothing had happened, as if he hasn't just kissed the enemy he's hated since forever, he can't shake the feeling of fire springing up his skin whenever he thinks about that kiss.
