A few minutes into Lay's first dance performance, Kyungsoo changed his mind. The guy was talented.

His moves were quick, sharp, smooth, precise. Kyungsoo wasn't a dance instructor like Jongin but he knew he liked watching Lay dance. He hadn't seen a lot of people dance like him- Jongin taught ballet and he himself preferred classical music, so he wasn't very exposed to the hip hop genre. Hip hop? Kyungsoo wasn't very sure what type of dance Lay did. All he knew was that he looked good while doing it.

Way too good.

The way Lay moved to match the beats in the music was incredibly satisfying. Kyungsoo couldn't help but bob his head along to the music.

"SEXY!" Baek, screaming, scared Kyungsoo out of his wits. He immediately side eyes his friend- what the hell.

After the dance break had ended, a smirking Baek nudged his arm.

"So, Soo, what'd you think?"

Kyungsoo shrugged. "He's okay, I guess. Good dancer."

Baekhyun laughed. "Oh, you ain't seen nothin' yet! Wait 'till he busts out his guitar."

~~~

Sure enough, about half an hour into the concert Lay appeared onstage with a guitar and a mic. He smiles and waves to the crowd, and Kyungsoo noted that he sported a dimple on his right cheek. It was kind of cute- not that he could see Lay as cute anymore, judging from his previous.. suggestive dance breaks.

"Hey everyone," Lay spoke into the microphone, as he stuck it onto the stand. "How has your day been?"

His voice sounded nice.

Fans everywhere around Kyungsoo started to shout, "Great! Yixing oppa makes everything great!"

Yixing? Kyungsoo wondered. Who's that? He tapped Baek on the shoulder to ask him the question.

Baek snickered. "Zhang Yixing- It's his birth name, silly. Did you really believe that a parent would name their child Lay? Like the potato chips?" He cracked up.

Kyungsoo shook his head, and mentally questioned his own IQ. Of course that's what he's called. Zhang Yixing. He rolled the name around on his tongue- it had a foreign feel to it; not really Korean. He made a note to ask Baekhyun that later- his friend was currently too busy taking pictures.

Lay- no, Yixing's- voice brought Kyungsoo back to the present. "Everyone, I hope you enjoy my next song! It's a cover, I think you guys will recognize it." Kyungsoo shifted forward in his seat. Onstage, Lay comfortably crossed his legs on his chair and began to pluck at his guitar.

~~~

Yixing's voice began to fill the room. It's sweet, clear, and expressive. Kyungsoo couldn't help but be drawn to it.

Wise men say only fools rush in

But I can't help falling in love with you

Oh, shall I stay, would it be a sin

Oh, if I can't help falling in love with you?

Fans began to scream in happiness right after the first verse. "I love this song!" Baek tugged at Kyungsoo's sleeve. Kyungsoo paid him no mind.

Like a river flows, surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes, some things are meant to be

He couldn't get enough of his voice. Kyungsoo stared up at Yixing on the stage.

Take my hand, take my whole life too

Oh, for I can't help falling in love with you

Kyungsoo observed his dimple, his eyes, his hands, his lips.

Oh, like a river flows, surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes, some things are meant to be

He dragged his eyes back up to the singer's. Kyungsoo then surprisingly found himself in Yixing's gaze. The two made eye contact- Kyungsoo was startled, but he refused to back down, holding his ground.

Oh, take my hand, take my whole life too

For I can't help falling in love with you

Oh, for I can't help falling in love with you

His eyes were a deep hazel with flecks of gold from the bright stage lights. He found comfort in Yixing's eyes, and right then and there Kyungsoo decided. He really liked the guy.
