Byun Baekhyun is very observant, if he said so himself. Nothing ever escapes his notice, not a thing. So when he starts to notice the shy glances, the fond look, the brief gesture of touching one's shoulder or flank when they're passing each other, the secret smile and the whole 'joined at the hips' business, he is immediately convinced that Park Chanyeol and Do Kyungsoo are pining over one another and are as oblivious about it as two people who share a single brain cell would be.

Another thing about Byun Baekhyun is that he's also unnecessarily nosy, making people's business his everywhere he goes. Thus, he sets out to help the two lovebirds get their happy ending.

But what Byun Baekhyun isn't, is an idiot. He knows what battle to fight in and what he needs to win it. That's the whole reason he decides to clue in the other members on the little secret he knows and the plan he's hatching, he knows he can't carry it out alone. However, even Byun Baekhyun, self proclaimed bonafide genius, must face difficulty and problems when it comes to his friends- it is common knowledge that they aren't as perceptive as he is, after all. So he isn't exactly surprised when the other members laugh in his face and tell him that he's going crazy from all the extensive and admittedly tiresome practice. That, however, doesn't mean he isn't wounded.

Baekhyun, as a very matured, very much an adult that he is, huffs and pouts and refuses to say anything further.

"Get some rest," Junmyeon says good naturedly as he pats Baekhyun on the shoulder. "Keep yourself out of trouble."

"Although," Jongdae says, raising one finger, "Now that you mentioned it, it doesn't sound as crazy as I thought it would be." Baekhyun can kiss him right now if he isn't busy burrowing his face in Sehun's arms.

"Maybe Jongdae also needs to rest," Yixing pipes in with his chopsticks halfway to his mouth.

"I agree," Jongin nods, "With Yixing. You're talking about Kyungsoo hyung and Chanyeol hyung, they're already fighting like cats and dogs whenever they're in a same room together. Just thinking about them dating makes my skin crawl."

Minseok just silently shakes his head as he takes another drink. He doesn't need to say anything, Baekhyun can pretty much guess his thought on the topic. Probably something along the line of idiot and why do I have to deal with this?

Baekhyun has thought he'll have to just carry out the Operation OIE (Open the Idiot's Eyes) by himself, which he has no problem with, mind you. He's persistent, and some may even say insistent, and once he set his mind onto something, he doesn't give up until he sees it through.

However, while he's busy planning for the first move in his head, he gets pulled away to a corner of the practice room by Junmyeon who looks annoyed and refuses to look at where Chanyeol and Kyungsoo are standing unnecessarily close to each other on the opposite end of the room, whispering between themselves.

"You're right, okay. I see it. It's disgusting. I can't stand it anymore. I'm in." Junmyeon whispers, urgency in his tone.

Baekhyun smirks in triumph.

The second time he's dragged away, he's walking towards the shower after a long practice. It's Jongdae, who looks as tired as Baekhyun feels. He pulls Baekhyun into the changing room and half whispers in his face, "My god, I'm going crazy. I can't believe they're so obvious about it! Whatever crazy idea you've come up with, I'm in."

Baekhyun allows himself another smirk.

The third time he's approached, the person is a bit more civil than the previous two. Baekhyun has stepped out on the balcony to take some fresh air and finally form a more solid plan when he feels a tap on his shoulder. But just to be petulant, he only hums and refuses to turn his head to acknowledge the person standing beside him.
