Courage in the Game (Completed)

Bringing up the Concert

Chanyeol (Exo)

I don't know why we were waiting around before the second race started. I think they had to fix something on the course. I looked around at the group that I would have to be. Keith, Rose, Hunter, Chanji, Kris, Kai, and Lucy. Kris and Kai in one race? Did they hate me or something? I didn't want to get beat as Suho had. He got beat by a freaking maknae for crying out loud. I shook my head to clear it and took my place at the start line. We were out of the gate when we heard the word go. I didn't pay attention to the others, I just focused on the course. Over the hill, across the hole, make it through the field of the odds and ends crap. I was on the last bit almost to the finish line when I accidentally slipped. My foot just came out from under me. I fell into the water as I got passed by Chunji. At least he wasn't a maknae. That would have been embarrassing.

I could only watch as one by one everyone else crossed the finish line. I angrily splashed the water and swam to shore. My anger got the best of me and I just stomped back to the room I was in. I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone. I knew my roommates wouldn't be back for a while due to the fact they were too involved in the competition. I almost slammed the door and flopped down on my bed, still in my wet clothes. How could I just lose like that? It didn't seem possible. And I had been so close to winning too. I forced myself to get up and shower. I waited for the water to warm, I began to undress. It was a slow process due to my clothes being wet. I opened the bathroom door just enough to throw my clothes so they were beside my bed.

After closing the bathroom door, I stood under the water. It felt nice and relaxed my body. I hadn't realized that I had been so tense. What had been making me so tense? Oh yeah, having Xiumin so near to me. I hadn't told him that I felt kind of funny around him. It was a feeling I couldn't put my finger on. Since I wasn't sure what it was, I had been keeping my mouth shut for almost a month now. I didn't want to bring it up when I didn't know what it was fully. But it hurt my heart to see how he was with Lay now. Had something happened between them? They had been fighting until this morning. What had transpired in the room between them last night?

I thought about it as I shut the water off. I had been standing under it long enough I figured when I saw that my hands were all pruny. They felt so weird like that. I didn't linger on those thoughts those. I couldn't help but think about Xiumin and what would happen if he was there with me. I quickly dried and dressed. I didn't know how much longer that water day thing was going to last and I didn't want my roommates to catch me undressed. I brushed hair, not caring that it was falling in my face. I wasn't really going to be doing anything for the rest of the day but probably sleeping. I gently set my brush on the bathroom counter. Yeah, I didn't know why I was so kind to that thing. I treated mine so nicely and everyone else couldn't care less about theirs. I sighed and went back to my bed which seemed to be calling my name. It wasn't long before I was almost asleep.

At that moment, I heard the room door open, but I didn't wake up. I heard footsteps walking over to me and they stopped at my bedside. There was a dip in the bed beside me and I felt a warmth on my lips. Was someone kissing me? Whoever it was, didn't stay like them for long.

"I'm sorry," I heard the voice say before leaving the room.

It sounded like a girl, but I could have been wrong. Did someone from the group Midnight just kiss me?

Baekhyun (Exo)

I had headed back to my room after my race to clean up. Yeah, I had lost, but I didn't care that I lost. I just wanted to go out there and have fun and I did. I was almost back to my room when I glanced over and saw Lucy leaving Chanyeol's room. What had she been doing in there? Didn't she have enough sense to stay away from Chanyeol when he was mad? Oh, yeah, silly me. No one here but Exo had seen him mad before today. Duh. I hide and watched as she stopped and tried to do something that I guessed was slowing her breathing. I studied her and saw she was blushing hard. What had happened in there? I waited until she was gone before approaching the room. I peeked in the window and saw Chanyeol laying there sleeping. But in his sleep, he was touching his lips. I pondered on it as I snuck to my room. I didn't want anyone to know I had done a creeper act. That was the last thing I needed. Chanyeol was like a brother to me and I didn't need him thinking anything bad of me.
