Unfaithful Secrets [EXO]

Secret #10

|Chapter 10: Kiss Me like the World's gonna Disappear| Part 1  

There's a smooth melody of a piano playing along in the background as Kyungsoo sits with his headset loosely around his neck in front of his microphone, low enough to let his mind think of an answer to the question he had just asked to his listeners of 'What is love?'.

He hums before starting, because this feels silly right now.

"To tell you honestly, I – I think I haven't lived long enough to be even be talking about love, or have lived long enough to say I have experienced all types of them for that matter. You see, twenty-four is not that great of a number just yet. And Love...love's just too broad of a topic for me to even have my say about it. So instead," Kyungsoo smiles a small tug in his lips before letting his seemingly shy voice fall again into the microphone in front of him. " –all I can tell you is... how that one Love I've been blessed to experience has been for me."

"For me...Love...is... something sweet. Being in love is being able to smile completely for no concrete reason at all. That – when you feel it, it just bursts into different colors of the rainbow, and that you feel like you're the happiest person in the world whenever you're together. That no matter how mad you are at the person you love, all that anger completely fades when he touches you or just looks you sincerely in the eyes and tells you he's sorry and that he'll never do it again, tells you he loves you and promises you that he'll only be loving you until the ends that he hopes never comes. That once you've admitted it, you know you've already surrendered all of yourself to that one person who makes you utterly weak in his or her arms."

Kyungsoo smiles pleasantly.

"Okay. Okay. I know it's a bit shallow and what I've said is a terrible way of defining it. Personally, I don't really know how love has been for everyone that is listening tonight – but for me, that's it. So far, that's the only thing that love has ever been for me. Simple, but special. Isn't love supposed to be like that?"

...and for a moment, Kyungsoo stops being in a dreamy trance, and curses the heat invading his cheeks in the next seconds that come, even the undeniable stupid smile he's having and the soft chortle escaping he finds hard controlling out of his lips, because that was just embarrassing and he knows exactly that there's a big possibility that Jongin's at home right now, listening with a big goofy grin in his face despite the late time, because he knows everything he'd said sounded like a confession of a teenage girl going through puberty for the first time.

And he wasn't wrong. Jongin did hear everything he's said.

His phone resting next to him starts blinking as if Jongin knew he's been thinking of him just now, and when he's eyes wanders off to look at it, he sees a preview of an 'Awww~ my baby loves me that much...' with a familiar dorky name registered on top of it to show in its screen.

Oh God... He rolls his eyes, quietly grunting as he gets back to his radio show with a tingling reminder of how long Jongin will pester him about this when he gets home before he eventually gets tired.

This, is his usual routine; talking through the microphone for hours late at night where he knows, maybe not a lot but some (including Jongin), are thoroughly listening to whatever topics written in his cue has him to say, or where his guests would lead him, though most of the time, he and his co-host Minah just wings it off. And yet, he's alone tonight since she's off on her leave.
