Entangled with you | SuYeol | Book 1 [One]

"I can't believe that just happened," Suho thought to himself in total disbelief.

Suho's eyes gazed back to Chanyeol's, his own body was firmly within his grasp. Both of them sat in silence as they deeply locked eyes, almost unable to form coherent words. It was apparent that the stillness needed to be broken but Suho couldn't bring himself to do it. Chanyeol was still wrapping his lanky frame around Suho, holding his arm behind Suho's head, even sitting a few feet away from him. Suho finally shifted his eyes and broke the stare as he started to shake.

"I need to get some rest," he silently whispered.

"I understand. Please sleep well," smiled Chanyeol as he stopped running his fingers through the back of Suho's hair and grazed his thumb down his neck, ready to let him from his grasp, leaving him to rest for the night.

Suho slowly got up, still trembling from the whole experience and headed to his own bed. As he lay down ready to sleep, he recounted over and over what had just happened. Each time his mind replayed the events he slipped further and further into disbelief and euphoria. He had no idea what to feel - or what to think. How could two opposing emotions blend so well with one another? More thoughts rushed through his mind as he tried his best not to revel in the energetic rush of the moment. His mind's eye was frozen on the image of the tall one's soft lips meeting his own.

Eventually his mind settled and he drifted off into a peaceful sleep, holding both of his arms under his head.

Elsewhere in the house, the boys had started to reconvene in the living room. Kai dried off from his shower and feigned going to the kitchen but stopped and stood in the dining room behind the main couches and peered into the living area. Sehun slouched with his legs over the side of his single-seat sofa and let out a bored huff. He looked over at D.O. and Lay, who were patiently waiting for the obvious discussion that needed to happen. There was clear tension thickly lingering after the disagreement and prior blowup. So as per usual, the mood pierced the air - an underlying current of each member knowing what needed to be done to come to terms. Chen and Xiumin both came back inside from the back yard. They looked around, giving all of the boys in the living room "the eyes" as they slipped into their spots on the couch. They looked at each other with an understanding of what the other was thinking, almost as if they were the parental units in a sea full of children. This issue needed resolved as soon as possible and they knew it.

Baekhyun noticed the commotion in the living room and sighed deeply as he meandered from the door way of the recording room. He rolled his eyes and started stomping towards the living room.

"Where's Suho?" loudly asked Baekhyun.

"I think he's sleeping. Maybe what we did added to his stress," replied Sehun.

"Ugh, yeah you're probably right. We're all being selfish and angry about our own insecurities and issues rather than focusing on what really matters," said Baekhyun, "...each other."

"You have to recognize each other's weak spots and respect them," quiet but firmly chimed in Kyung-soo.

"He's right," added Chen who was pointing at both Kai and Baekhyun, "we have to remember our goals and desires for the group. There's no problem being goofy and having a good time but don't cross the line. You are all aware of the lines."

"There's a time and a place for that and projecting it onto one another is not healthy," finished Xiumin.

Baekhyun nodded along, seemingly realizing he crossed a line and flared tempers for no reason.

"I apologize, Kai." Baekhyun solemnly mustered up the words, "I was out of line. You're human like the rest of us."

Sehun nodded along until Xiumin noticed him.

"Ahem...." Xiumin glared at Sehun, still wearing his infamous smile.

"Nehettttttttttt," laughed Sehun.
