The beauty and the wolves (EXO fanfic)

Chapter 22: Too Close

Lays POV

"Jin." "Jin." "Jin." She snapped out of her daydreaming. "Yes?" she said. "What were you thinking about?" I asked. "Nothing important." she said. "Hey Jin, want to help me with dessert?" asked D.O. She looked at me. "It's okay, go." I said. "I'll help too!" said Luhan following behind Jin into the kitchen. Tao looked at them as they left. "What's wrong Tao?" asked Baekhyun. "Nothing." he said listlessly. "Are you sure, you haven't eaten a lot of your food." said Kris. "Not hungry." he said. "Aw, he's just jealous because he doesn't have Jin to himself." said Chen. "Don't worry Tao, it's not like I'm taking her away from you." I teased.

He got up suddenly. "I'm tired, I'm going to bed." Jin, Luhan and D.O walked back in with 3 cakes. "Where's Tao?" asked Jin. "He said he was tired but he seemed upset." I said. "I'll go see what's wrong." she said. "I'll miss you." said D.O. I looked at him confused. Jin just nodded. "What was that all about? I thought.

JIN'S POV

Kyungsoo was getting bolder and bolder with his affection with me and after every one I felt like a liar and a cheater to both Lay and him. "I don't deserve either of them." I whispered. But Luhan was always there to pick me up. I was too busy with my own thoughts that I didn't hear Lay talking to me. I could see Kyungsoo's jealousy. "Jin want to help me with dessert?" he asked innocently. I knew he wanted to be alone with me, I looked at Lay trying to ask for help with my eyes but it didn't work. I looked at Luhan, trying to get him to do something. "I'll help too!" he exclaimed.

I relaxed. No way would Kyungsoo do anything in front of him. "Luhan want to grab the oven mitts in the pantry?" asked Kyungsoo. "Sure." said Luhan. No don't leave me alone! As soon as Luhan was out of sight. Kyungsoo hugged me and pulled me into a kiss. "I missed you." he said. "Found them!" said Luhan. Kyungsoo pulled away from me and grabbed them. "Thanks." he said. We were decorating the cakes with frosting when Kyungsoo wiped some frosting off the corner of my lip. He licked it off his thumb. "Sweet, just like you." he said. Luhan looked at me as if noticing how touchy that contact was. I shrugged my shoulders and we carried the cakes out.

I saw that Tao wasn't there anymore. "Where did Tao go?" I asked. "He said he was tired but he seemed upset." said Lay. "I'll go see what's wrong." I said. "I'll miss you." I heard Kyungsoo say. I froze and just nodded walking to Tao's room. I knocked on the door. "Tao? you there? I'm coming in." I walked into his room and turned the light on. "Turn it off please." he said. I did as I was asked of and walked over to his bed side and turned on the table lamp. "What's wrong Tao? you barely had anything to eat are you sick?" I asked. I placed my hand on his forehead. "I'm not sick." he said. "Then what is it?" I asked. "Come on you can tell me anything."

He looked at me misty eyed. "Tao what's wrong?" I asked again. "Do you love Lay hyung?" he asked me. Did he know about Kyungsoo? not possible. "of course I love Lay, what would make you ask that?" I sat on his bed and hugged him. "Silly kungfu panda, no matter what happens i'll always love Lay and you, don't ever forget that." I said. "And the rest of the members?" he asked. I smiled. "The rest of the members too." I stood up and held out my hand. "Come on I think there's still some cake left." I said. "Chocolate?" he asked. "Yes." I responded. He got up and ran out of the door. I laughed and walked out. That was too close....
