*Kai's POV*

I watched as Sophie grabbed BaekHyun and dragged him up the stairs. My head told me to stay stood exactly where I was, and not chase after her, but my legs told me "We got to, we fucking got to!"

So me, being stupid and lacking any amount of common sense, I proceeded to walk up the stairs and snooped along the hallway, listening intently for any sound, when I heard the muffles voices of BaekHyun and the girl that was slowly starting to steal my heart away from me.

"What are you laughing at?" I heard Sophie speak softly as I pressed my ear up against the cold wood of the bathroom door.

"I think-" BaekHyun stopped speaking and I pressed the side of my face harder to the door, my cheek sticking to the cool painted wood.

"You think what?"

"I think... I think I'm in love with you."

My heart stopped and sank. My chest constricting tightly around my shattering fragile heart. It felt as if somebody had punched their hand through my chest and hand gripped a hold of my heart and was squeezing it tightly, it slowly killing my. He had beaten me to it, BaekHyun had taken a huge step ahead of me in the race to win Sophie's affection.

"Y-you... w-what did you just say?" Sophie gasped. It was now that I cursed the fact bathroom doors didn't have key holes. I wasn't able to peep through it and see what BaekHyun was doing. Was he holding her hand? Was he hugging her? Was he ... ~gulp~... kissing her?

"Sophie," BaekHyun spoke softly and I could somehow hear the smile in his voice. "I believe I just told you I love you."

*Sophie's POV*

"Sophie," he said my name gently as he cupped my cheeks with his hands and pressed his forhead to mine. "I believe I just told you I love you."

I looked deep into his eyes, my brain failing to process the words he had just whispered to me. I was dreaming, I knew it from the start I was dreaming. My dreams had always managed to convince me they were real, up until something impossible would happen, and that would give it away, and I knew it wasn't reality. And this was one of those things.

Byun BaekHyun, the gorgeous kpop singer, had just told me her thought he loved me.

I think I love you? Those five simple words ran round and round in my head, sending the room spinning into a mess, all the details blurring together to create one muddle of blue and white.

"I..." I couldn't speak. It's not that I didn't want to answer his unasked question of, "do you love me too?" I couldn't physically form the words on my tongue, it was as if my usual weak stutter had gone into overdrive and had totally destroyed my ability to form correctly literate sentences.

Even though BaekHyun hadn't actually asked me, the way his gorgeous eyes twinkled with the slight twinge of hope and desire told me he wanted me to say it back. The thing was, I did love him.

But...

~Deep breath~

I loved Kai too.

And I hated myself for putting the two men I adored through all this trouble, but I couldn't help my feelings. When people said you choose your bias, they were lying to you... It was all total bullshit.

You didn't chose your biases.

Your biases chose you.

And Kai and BaekHyun had both decided to pull me into their trap. I was like a moth to a flame, attracted to the desirable fire they were both giving off. BaekHyun's eyebrows twitched up ever so slightly and it killed me, knowing I couldn't answer him. "I-"
