How it Goes

Chapter 9: Kaisoo?

Kyungsoo's POV-

     I heard my alarm clock and was startled by not only the annoying noise but that Kai was right next to me. Then the memory of last night filled my mind. I got up to turn off my alarm and then sat back on the bed. I caught myself staring at him again. I felt so many things and I was so confused. This feeling got stronger and stronger. After last night I feel like my friendship with him got more- special. After all of these 6 years I've been friends with Kai I've never felt this way about him.
    All of a sudden his eyes opened quickly scaring me half to death.
" What ya lookin at?" He asked.
     I blushed. That was extremely embarrassing. He smiled at me though.  That feeling once again. I smiled back looking away.
    " I'm hungry." He jumped out of bed. I nodded.
" Me too."
    " Room service?" He asked grabbing the menu our room had.
" Sure why not- I mean we're not paying for it."
(a/n: the directors/producers pay for all the hotel expenses. If you were wondering. I know- I'm very detailed)
    " What do you want?"
" Pancakes." I replied. "I've been really in the mood for them 24/7 lately."
    " When's the last time you've worked out?" He asked.
" What? That's none of your business thanks."
    He then poked my stomach. 
" Feels a little squishy to me." He giggled.
    " Hey!" I glared at him.
" My work out schedule is not your concern. " I said holding a pillow over my stomach for protection. "
" I'm just playing. Let's order pancakes."
" Your too extra." I said making myself a cup of tea that I finally knew how to make.

Later that day.......

We got to the bus barley making time.
" You take too long of a shower!" Kai whispered to me as we took our seats on the bus.
" Sorry I can't take short ones. "
" Practice then." He said crossing his arms with his hair still dripping wet. I rolled my eyes.

The rumble of the bus shook me a little. I didn't get much sleep last night. After comforting Kai about Taemin, I couldn't go to sleep. I laid awake for probably an hour thinking. Thinking about my friendship with him. What has changed? I know for sure something has and it's effecting me constantly. I can't stop wondering about this feeling. I've never felt this way before. On another, note I was excited to perform. Which I wasn't expecting from myself.

" 5 minuets!" I heard the stage manager say as he peeked his head into our dressing room. That being our cue we walked into the side wing of the stage to wait to enter. We heard the cheering of fans and felt their energy. I think it's gonna be a good show. I then saw the stage manager give us a thumbs up and we walked on the stage. The crowd went wild. It was a sea of darkness and we could only see the lights each fan held.
The lights were out on stage. I got into position to sing Monster. I felt the members around me shuffling into position. The lights turned on. The music started and the choreography that's been in my bones for the past 5 months started to play out. And for the first time in awhile I really enjoyed it.

We played our set list. It felt amazing. I was in a great mood. We exited the stage with the fans cheering and screaming and our sweaty bodies barely being able to lift our arms up to wave goodbye. We ran back to our dressing room to freshen up for the fan meeting in 20 minutes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Kai's POV-
I walked to the bathrooms to change. I started changing and I heard two familiar voices. It sounded like Chanyeol and Baekhyun.
    " Babe how'd it feel?" I heard Chanyeol's deep voice say.
What did I just hear?
     " Yeah it went okay my voice felt a little crusty after what happened last night." I heard Baekhyun giggle.
What happened last night? What is going on? I tried my best not to gasp although they obviously don't know I'm here.
    " You would not stop laughing though! Hey it's not my fault ok?" Chanyeol said.
" I hate you." Baekhyun replied.
    " No you don't."
I then heard. I heard. Kissing?
    " Chanyeol! There could be surveillance cameras stop. "
" In a bathroom? No. "
    I heard them kiss again. What the hell is going on. I'm so confused on what's happening. I'm overwhelmed.
    Baekhyun then moaned. " Ok ba- Stop. We ca- Do- Later-" Chanyeol kept kissing him.

I felt so uncomfortable. I wanted to run out. I felt so hurt inside. Chanyeol has been one of my best friends for a long time. I remember he always told me his deep thoughts. That was our thing. We always just talked about stuff that was on our mind. But he never even told me he had feelings for men. I don't know how to feel. I want to go home. This made me think about Taemin. I felt tears starting to form in my eyes. Don't cry Jongin. They will know your here. Don't cry. It's ok. I could hear Kyungsoo's words in my head. Kyungsoo. I don't know how I feel about him lately. I have this weird complicated feeling whenever I'm around him. I don't know what to think at this moment. I just have too much on my mind. I want to go. I miss my mother and my sister. I feel like I never get to see them lately.

    Forgetting about what Chanyeol and Baek I heard the door shut which probably meant they left. I then bolted out of the bathroom hoping I can shake all of this off my mind so I can be in a present state for the fan meeting. The last thing I want is for the fans to think I'm distracted or not okay.

Kyungsoo's POV-

    It was time to go to the fan meeting. I was excited to meet them and see their faces. It really is special. We all walked out to a room outside of the venue with a table with 9 spots for us to sit in. We took our seats and Kai sat next to me.
    " Hey! You have a good show?" I asked him.
He nodded. " Yeah pretty good. You?"
     " Great. "
Then I heard the door open and the fans started filing in. They were cheering and waving. I waved and smiled at the fans catching eye contact with a few. There were only 150 fan meeting tickets available. About to meet 150 people. Here we go.

    It went pretty fast. 40 minutes went by quick. Still probably 70 more fans left.
2 girls then came up to me that were next in line. They were blushing like crazy.
    " Hey!"
I waved. " Hey!"
    " How are you girls?" I said as they handed me their photo cards to sign.
" We are great!" One girl said.
   " Your names?"
" My name is Emily." One girl said. Her face was really red. She must be a really big fan.
    " My name is Nia." The other said. I noticed she kept glancing at Kai. She looked scared of him.
    " Hey do you know the ship Kaisoo?" Nia asked me.
" What? What does that mean?"
    " It means that lots of people think that you and Kai would be a cute couple. "
What did I just hear?
    " Uhh...really?" I cracked a smile and giggled.
" We just wanted to give you this." Emily said as she handed me a card.
    " Thank you. It was nice to meet you!" I said.
" You too!" They smiled and blushed as red as a tomato.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I was happy to get on the bus after a long day. It was really fun though. I enjoyed performing and meeting fans. I put my head phones in to listen to music and sat next Kai who had his head phones in looking out the window. He looks very tired. I then remembered the card that those 2 girls made me. Out of all the fans I met today the really stood out. Me and Kai? A ship? It's actually kinda cute. I wonder if there are more ships for Exo. I pulled the green flowery card out of my backpack. It said " To Kyungsoo,  From Emily. " I opened it. On the left side was a picture of me getting fed pepero sticks. I couldn't tell whose hand it was because the picture was cut off. What? This made no sense. Weird. I'll read the note:

    Dear Kyungsoo,
Here is my favorite picture of you and someone else too!
You'll have to find your match for this picture and for you!
I hope you like it. I love you.
    ~ Emily

    That was sweet. My match? Does she mean Kai? I mean she was talking about us looking cute together. This was all too weird and I was too tired to think on it now. It made me smile though. That feeling. Me and Kai? I have no idea what to think.

A/N - I hope you liked this chapter! Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I will soon! Thanks for reading😉
