Of Course | BaekSoo (BoyxBoy)

Little Things

A week after the last incident at the practice room, they arrived late to the dorm from the dance studio, Kyungsoo thought it would be good that if he try to show his good side to Baekhyun. Perhaps Baekhyun would do the same and they could end this daily never-ending-childish-like war the had since pre-debut era (Kyungsoo admits it is childish).

Kyungsoo took his first step by trying to treat Baekhyun drinks. He bought two canned drinks from the vending machine in their lobby and brought them upstairs with a contented and hopeful heart.

"What is this?" Baekhyun asked when Kyungsoo extended his hand and pushed a can of hot coffee to his arm.

"Drinks. My treat." Kyungsoo said proudly, hoping that Baekhyun would smile brightly and thank him. Or maybe perhaps they'd chat together as they had their drinks.
Kyungsoo pushed Baekhyun and squeezed his butt into the limited space at the corner of the bench.
Kyungsoo watched Baekhyun as Baekhyun inspected the can for a while.
"What kind of poison did you put in here? Laxative? Or anything?" Baekhyun side-eyed him.

Kyungsoo was slightly offended, but he just pulled a cool face.
"What are you talking about? It's from the vending machine down there. It's my fav." Kyungsoo tried to sound nice.
He stared Baekhyun, with hope Baekhyun would accept it and thank him for his thoughtfulness and kindness (now that he is hoping something in return, it's not that honest anymore)

"Nah. I don't want." Baekhyun put the can aside. "It's hot here in the dance room and you're giving me a hot coffee." Baekhyun just glanced Kyungsoo for a few times before he left and joined Chanyeol and the other's.

Kyungsoo was speechless. He was upset, but confused too in the same time.

"Rude."

He just can't accept the fact that he actually put some thoughts on buying drinks for Baekhyun, hoping that Baekhyun would accept it and realize what he's trying to do, but all he get was a bit of sarcasm and he felt offended.

Kyungsoo clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. Furiously, he turned around and shouted, "Then, should I buy you a huge bottle of cold Coca-Cola,"

"No thanks, I'm going to the cafe with Yeol."
Kyungsoo didn't know what to feel at the moment. He felt as if he was rejected and ignored.
He felt like he was being too naive that he thought a can of coffee would help him and Baekhyun to make up. He felt like an idiot, and Baekhyun doesn't seem to care about him at all.

Few days later, Kyungsoo tried to cook something special, Baekhyun's favorite stew for dinner.
He reminded the elder to make sure to eat dinner later on. He had high expectations, hoping that through this meal Baekhyun would feel Kyungsoo's intention.
But Baekhyun didn't even bother to eat dinner that night-- he went to sleep immediately after returning back to their dorm. Kyungsoo just kept some of the dinner for Baekhyun in the fridge so he can heat them up the next morning.

Kyungsoo had been watching Baekhyun for days, lately. He usually will wake Baekhyun first thing in the morning when they have morning schedule, and at nights he will wait Baekhyun sleep before he goes to sleep.
He will refill Baekhyun's bottle all the time and he will usually arrange his clothes in his cupboard because sometimes Baekhyun just slump himself into the bed and sleep for the rest of the day.

Kyungsoo was there all the time, without he himself realizing. But he just don't get why did he keep on doing that.

It's not like Baekhyun would pay attention on those little things.

No. There's no way I'm liking that kid. Never in my wildest dream.

Kyungsoo exits the SM building angrily. He regrets that he gave a thought about making up with Baekhyun. He thinks that trying to treat Baekhyun normally like how he treats his other friends is just the most idiot decision ever.
Kyungsoo fastens his pace as his eyes shed slight tears. He can't believe Baekhyun would be that harsh and idiot, after what he has done for him.

Why did he mind giving his attention to that pathetic boy by the way? Kyungsoo blames himself for wasting his time for a kid who never realizes his effort and appreciate other's attention towards him.
Kyungsoo just can't accept the fact that Baekhyun scolded him badly.

...And it was all just because he accidentally stepping on Baekhyun's foot during dance practice.
Out of all reasons to get upset, that was the most absurd one, in Kyungsoo's opinion. It was just an accident.

Kyungsoo spent the whole 11p.m. at the playground, sitting on the hanging swing. Kyungsoo is all alone in the park, clinging his arms around the metal chains of the swing he is sitting on.

Half an hour passed and Kyungsoo hears nothing but just the sound of the leaves being blown by the cold night breeze, and the sounds of the cars passing by. The wind brushes against his skin, causing him to shiver.
Kyungsoo just sighs as he brushes both his palms together to produce some heat.
He want to return to the studio, but he still doesn't feel like meeting Baekhyun.
He want to return to the dorm, but maybe the boys already went back to the dorm already, and again, he still don't want to meet Baekhyun.

Kyungsoo looks up into the dark night sky, not even a star seen. Kyungsoo sighs.
Leaning his head against the metal chains, he hums some lines from Promise, trying to get himself drown in the emotion.

It is peaceful... Though he hopes someone is sitting next to him to accompany, because Kyungsoo hates to be alone.

Somehow, he is grateful that he is a part of EXO. Despite his introvert and sarcastic characteristic, the members still pays him lots of attention and care. Maybe because he's the smallest member, perhaps.

He hates being called cute, he did stated that during a talk show together with other members. Since then the members started to use 'handsome' or 'cool' or 'hardworking' instead of 'cute'.

But there's just one kid who doesn't seem to understand human language.
Byun Baekhyun.

Byun Baekhyun still call him cute and childish, and short and grumpy. Kyungsoo isn't sure if Baekhyun actually did that because he thinks of him in that way or maybe it was just pure sarcasm and teasing.

Kyungsoo just hates how his mind slowly reverts back to Baekhyun when he tries to forget about Baekhyun.
He continues to hum the chorus of Promise, the chorus has always been his favorite part as he leans against the metal chain of the swings.

"...mianhandago, neol saranghandago.."

A pair of hands cover Kyungsoo's eyes from behind, a soft, warm, pair of hands. It has a very familiar scent, Kyungsoo realizes.

Kyungsoo stops breathing for a moment, and the time freezes for a while.
His heart beats faster than it ever did.

Kyungsoo tries to not to flinch, though he could barely control his four limbs at the moment.
He can feel that someone is pulling his body closer, engaging him into their embrace.

And it is warm.

Kyungsoo feels like he wants to stay in that position forever. It feels like he's resting in the most comfortable pillow in the world, and he don't feel like waking up because it is just to comfy to leave.

However, Kyungsoo pushed the hands covering his eyes and flinched away when he snaps back to his own thoughts. He stares the dry ground for a while before slowly averts his gaze to the latter behind him.

"...Why are you here?"
