Kun x Yangyang

"I don't get it", Yangyang says, watching Kun laugh as Donghyuck keeps his arms locked around his waist. He turns to Hendery. "What am I doing wrong?"

Hendery shrugs. "Do you hug him?"

"Sometimes."

Yangyang barely registers his friend's sigh, too focused on the little touches now also being shared with Jaemin. He shouldn't be that surprised, Jaemin and Donghyuck are touchy people and it always seems to heighten around the people they adore—Kun being one of them. Still, he's not a huge fan of Kun just letting them hold his waist or pat his belly or make him smile brighter than sometimes Yangyang himself can.

He's jealous. It's fine. It's not like there's actually anything to worry about. 

Donghyuck kisses Kun's cheek and Yangyang swallows. It's fine.

"Just go to him", Xiaojun says, taking a seat next to Hendery.

"I don't want to interrupt."

Xiaojun rolls his eyes and stands up. "Kun! Your boyfriend misses you!"

Yangyang sees Kun say something to Jaemin and Donghyuck before he makes his way over to the table. He stands at the edge, just staring at Yangyang expectantly. Yangyang is too distracted, thinking of how much it might bother Kun if he pulls him onto his lap. Instead, he decides to just slide over and pat the empty space he'd previously been in. Kun sits down, attention immediately going to Xiaojun who'd asked something Yangyang didn't pick up. He catches Hendery suppressing his laughter. Grabbing the water bottle in the bottle of the table and spraying it at him is a no-brainer.

Later that night, they gather all their friends for a beach-side bonfire. Yangyang occupies a log by himself, not in the most chatty mood, mostly because of the way certain people act with his boyfriend and vice versa. The only person who seems just as bothered by this is Jisung and that's just because he's harboring the most obvious crush on Donghyuck that Donghyuck has yet to pick up on. Jaemin knows, if the way he keeps at least one hand on Donghyuck's torso and constantly smirks in Jisung's direction is any indication.

Chenle and Mark join them, at least decent enough to not show any extreme forms of PDA. So far, all they've done is lean into each other and Mark has kissed Chenle's forehead. 

The crackling of the fire in front of them is nice and the sight of the dancing flames, while generally therapeutic, isn't doing much for Yangyang now. He's staring at it but he doesn't really see it, too lost in his thoughts, including the suspicion that Mark, Chenle, or both of them keep looking at him. Yangyang tries to ignore for a little longer before bringing his attention to Jisung to see if he can discreetly figure out where Chenle and Mark are looking. Jisung looks just the way Yangyang feels, with the want to pretend like there's nothing bothering him regarding person he's romantically interested in while he's not particularly happy more apparent than he probably wants it to be.

"You need to talk", Chenle speaks up when Jisung looks behind him to where Donghyuck seems to be having the time of his life, laughing in the midst of their friends, most of which are terrible at hiding their adoration for him.

"I don't think he wants to talk", Jisung mutters, bitterly. Chenle kicks sand at him, despite the distance between them, which is enough to get Jisung's attention. "What?"

"Your problem", Mark starts before Chenle can, "is that instead of being the one to treat him the way Jaemin is, you're sitting over here, sulky about the fact that Jaemin is doing what you want. Go over there and bring Donghyuck's attention to you. Literally, just kiss his cheek or something."
