When was the last time Toriau had felt this excitement rushing through his veins? Probably on his debut day. He could feel his heart beating against his rib cage as his legs carried him over the streets—where people stared at him, bewildered as they wondered what a crazy man he was. Toriau knew he was crazy, crazy about Kyungsoo

He arrived at a big place, which seemed like a mansion on the outside. Toriau shifted uncomfortably as he bit down on his lower lip, god this was a bad idea, he thought as he bent over to press on the bell

What Hoseok had said clearly went through his mind, he couldn't thank the older male enough for making him realizing the truth—his happiness, that resided in Kyungsoo. He hadn't known the male for long, but he was already so crazy about him

A tall man who went by the name Chanyeol opened the door, his eyes widening in surprise, his hand gripping tightly on the doorknob. "T-Toriau-sshi? What are you...doing here?", he asked suspiciously, knowing the famous junior wouldn't have came here without a cause, or a reason

"Kyungsoo", Toriau breathed out, his hands balling into fists

Chanyeol immediately understood what the man said, he opened the door wider for Toriau. Toriau could see the peach-colored couches and the television—he could also see other exo members joking around, it reminded him of his dorm too, where things were chaotic. "I'll go get him, he's just...snoozing I guess", Chanyeol replied quietly, scratching his nape. "You're free to come in"

"Thank you", Toriau breathlessly replied, eyeing the surrounding around him cautiously. The place where the exo members stayed was like a penthouse—or a mansion. It was big yet comforting. Chanyeol led him towards the living room, gesturing towards the couch. The other exo members stared at Toriau in both surprise and suspicion. Then the tall man left as quickly as he had led Toriau here

"Ahn Toriau, am I right?", a voice called out from behind. Suho appeared in sight, smiling warmly at the younger. "It's a surprise to see you hear, must I admit"

"It is", Toriau agreed, nodding

"We just watched your cover yesterday", Baekhyun said, blood rushing to his face as he recalled what went down yesterday. He awkwardly ruffled his hair, sitting down right in front of Toriau. "Of course, our dear kyungsoo was very excited"

"That he was", Suho replied, gracefully sitting down beside Baekhyun. Toriau thought the leader of exo was like a prince, since everything he did was elegant and polite. The leader looked up to meet the eyes of Toriau. "What's the real reason why you're here?"

"Kyungsoo", Toriau replied again, clasping both his hands nervously. "I'm here to talk to him"

"Reasonable, I guess", the older male said, his hawk-like eyes examining Toriau, staring hardly at the male who squirmed quietly under the man's gaze. "I do know that Kyungsoo likes you...a lot—more than you could imagine, Toriau-sshi. How..do you feel about that?"

Toriau was confused to why the male was telling him all these things but judging from the look Suho was giving him, he had no choice but to answer. Toriau sucked in a deep breath. "I'm absolutely honored to, uh, to find out that...Kyungsoo does in fact like me"

Suho folded both his arms across his chest, his nose in the air as he eyes roamed the younger man's face, he let out a soft sigh. "He would kill me if he knew this—I mean, are you sure to take care of Kyungsoo? As old and serious as he is, he also does have a soft side"
