Love. A feeling people have towards another person. A feeling that hurts so much when one has to much of it. A feeling that hurts more when it's broken and lost.

But love was something new to Changbin. He didn't know how he was supposed to feel. Or act.

A lot of people say that when they love someone, they're always on their mind. Whenever they see that person, they get butterflies in their stomach.

When they hold hands, they feel both nervous yet warm.

But Changbin didn't know how any of that felt. He wanted to know how love works. He wanted to love someone and have them love him back.

"Hyung, how does love work?" Changbin asks as he places his pencil down. Chan spins himself around on his desk chair and looks at the younger.

"What?" He asks.

"How does love work?" Changbin repeats and looks at the leader.

Chan was two years older then Changbin. That means he has at least 2 years of experience with life. And possibly love.

"I don't know. I haven't been in love before." Chan answers honestly.

Changbin hums. He thought Chan would be able to help.

And maybe Chan can. The leader did have feelings towards the younger. But it wasn't love just yet. He wanted to love the younger but only if the younger loved him.

"But I could help you." Chan spoke up as he sees Changbins lost face.

"Really?! You'd do that?" Changbin asks becoming hopeful.

Chan nods with a smile. "I can help and show you how love works."
——
And thus the process started. Everyday Chan makes an effort on how to show Changbin what love is. He would compliment the younger. Praise him for small things.

Hug him and hold his hands. Make jokes and have fun.

But Changbin didn't feel those things yet. The butterflies. The nervousness.

Was he incapable of love?

"It's okay. It takes time to love someone. I'll wait forever and keep helping you." Chan says softly.

And those words hit something in Changbin. He suddenly felt his heart beat faster. His body becoming warm.

This was it. The first step of knowing you're in love.

"You're very pretty." Chan whispers as he brushes a strand of hair out of Changbins forehead.

They were laying on the leaders bed after a long day of dance practice. Their bodies relaxing on the mattress and arms wrapped around each other.

Changbin blushes a bit at the compliment. Sure Chan had given him plenty but they never caused him to blush or have his heart flutter.

Chan notices the tinted color cheeks and pokes them softly.

"Finally, one of my compliments got to you." Chan chuckles.

Changbin rolls his eyes. "Oh shush."

"That means you're slowly becoming to realize your love for me." Chan says with a hopeful tone.

Changbin nods. He was becoming aware of his feelings.
——
"And you're willing to wait forever?" Hyunjin asks as he takes a sip of water.

Chan nods.

They were currently taking a break from rehearsal and Chan was talking to Hyunjin about his situation.

"I will wait for him. I've become to deep in love with him." Chan says as he wipes away some sweat with his shirt.

Hyunjin nods. "Well, I think Changbin loves you back. I can see it in his eyes. How they always light up when you come in a room."

"Really?"

"Yeah. You literally light up his whole world. And this only took you what? 8 months?"

Chan nods. He worked so hard in those 8 months to just teach Changbin how love works. He ended up falling in love with him. More then what he wanted.

But he was okay with that. He was happy to be in love with the rapper.

"I'm impressed hyung. I hope things work out." Hyunjin pats his shoulder and gets up, ready to return to rehearsal.

Chan looks over and spots Changbin talking to Seungmin, the rapper glances over and smiles at Chan.

His eyes were bright and smile so pretty and happy.

Hyunjin was right.
——
"I think I love you." Changbin whispers as he squeezes Chan's hand.

They were back in the leaders bed. It's been a month since Chan's conversation with Hyunjin.

"Really?" Chan asks.

Changbin nods and looks down at their interlocked hands.

"I get nervous when I'm around you. But a good kind of nervous. Butterflies in my stomach that causes me to become sick, but a good kind of sick. I can't stop thinking about you even if we're in the same room. Your compliments get to me more then ever. Causing me to blush, my heart to beat so fast that I'm scared it'll jump out of my chest. Whenever I hold your hand, I can feel them get sweaty out of nervousness but I feel that warmth throughout my body. So I know that this is love that I'm feeling."

Chan was lost for words. Everything he did was falling into place. Changbin was starting to love him. Just as much as he loves him.

"I think I love you too." Chan says.

Changbin smiles happily.

"This is how love works, right?"

Chan nods.

"This is how love works."
