"I can't believe myself either," Kyungsoo complains with an exhausted sigh, his head on top of Jongin's lap and Jongin snickers, eating his chips above Kyungsoo's face.
"Of all people Kyungsoo-hyung," the younger adds and the crumbs fall off on Kyungsoo's cheek in the process. "Hey, but he's nice anyway. It just doesn't show on his face."
"Seriously? Not at all," Kyungsoo answers as he grabs the bag from Jongin's hand, pouring all the contents in one go inside his mouth.
The two continues watching their super thin and wide HD TV when the subject of their conversation skips into the living room, making his way beside Jongin.
"Good morning!" Baekhyun greets in a chirpy high tone. "Especially to you, Kyungsoo," he says with an over-exaggerated wink with matching opening of mouth showing his pearly whites.
Jongin smiles while the boy on his lap rolls his eyes, kicking Baekhyun's knees. "What's good in the morning when I'm seeing your face? Get out of my sight."
"Rude," Baekhyun pouts. "It's a good day since we don't have schedule today! Don't waste your time hating me, Kyungsoo."
"I already wasted my precious minute just by talking to you," Kyungsoo says with a scoff. "Just go play with Chanyeol or something."
"Are you pushing me away, Kyungsoo!?" Baekhyun cries, jutting his lower lip.
"Congratulations. Now go," Kyungsoo says while motioning his hand to shoo Baekhyun away. He turns his back away from Baekhyun and hugs Jongin's waist, making himself lie comfortably on the younger's lap.
"Yeah, Baekhyun-hyung, he's right, I guess," Jongin interferes unsurely but smiles though. "Let us be alone without your existence for once, okay?"
Baekhyun shrugs his shoulders nonchalantly. "Okay. I'll go with Chanyeol then." He stands up, leaving the two on the couch.
Jongin oddly looks at Kyungsoo, then at Baekhyun who's practically throwing his body to Chanyeol. He scratches his head a little while combing Kyungsoo's hair with his fingers. It's smooth just like his hyung's skin.
"Are you okay with that?" Jongin asks as Kyungsoo plays with Jongin's other hand like it's an action figure.
"With what?"
"I don't know, hyung. Baekhyun-hyung might get-
"GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!" Chanyeol yells from their shared room, his voice booming throughout the dorm while he's smiling at Baekhyun.
"Hey, Baekhyun! My most favorite person in the world!" Chanyeol greets, returning the hug. He kisses Baekhyun's cheek and Baekhyun giggles like a teenage girl. Kyungsoo's 'can you not be so gay for each other thank you very much' can be heard from the living room.
"Hey there idiot," Baekhyun answers with a wink of an eye. "Want to go out with me?"
"What, like a date?"
"Something like that," Baekhyun replies, following Chanyeol outside the room.
"Why don't you ask Kyungsoo instead?" Chanyeol asks, brushing his hair with his fingers and looking at a mirror on the wall. "You know, maybe he's in the mood and he's like your-
"HEY CHANYEOL HYUNG!" Jongin greets, waving at the taller. "Let's play basketball as promised."
"Right now?" Chanyeol asks Jongin, facing Baekhyun. He also fixes Baekhyun's disheveled hair with his own fingers, stroking it gently. Baekhyun closes his eyes.
"Yeah, right now," Jongin says with a grin. Kyungsoo looks up to him, eyebrows raised. "You're playing with him and leave me here, Jongin?!"
"No, you can come with us if you want," Jongin says to Kyungsoo.
"Baekhyun and I are going out though," Chanyeol says as he slings an arm around Baekhyun's shoulders. Baekhyun widely smiles. "Like a date!" he adds.
Kyungsoo laughs mockingly. "You're going out?" he asks unbelievingly and Jongin furrows his eyebrows in confusion.
"Yeah, we love each other! Right, Yeollie?" Baekhyun says while beaming cheekily, nudging Chanyeol's ribs. Chanyeol confusedly looks at Kyungsoo then back to Baekhyun and back to Kyungsoo, then to Jongin who just shrugs his shoulders.
He scratches his head, chuckling in a faking manner. "Of course, Baek, of course."
"See!" Baekhyun exclaims.
Kyungsoo grins, slapping Jongin's arm. "Okay, don't want to hear you talk, Baekhyun. Where are you going then, Chanyeol?"
"Let's just play basketball, Chanyeol-hyung!" Jongin suggests, flailing his arms excitedly. "Baekhyun-hyung and Kyungsoo-hyung can join us."
"Fine with me," Kyungsoo says while looking at Baekhyun, challenging him. "How about you, Baekhyun?"
"You three are all unfair," Baekhyun whines, his face grimacing. "Kyungsoo, you know I don't play basketball!"
"Don't worry, I'll teach you," Kyungsoo says. "Or Chanyeol, or Jongin can teach you, anyone."
"I want you." Baekhyun says, smirking at Kyungsoo and Kyungsoo stares at him, just stares blankly like Baekhyun said a super awkward joke. He folds his arms over his chest.
"You want. Me."
"I want you."
"You want me?"
"Yeah. To teach me. I want you to teach me," Baekhyun wiggles his eyebrows suggestively and Kyungsoo scrunches his face, disgusted.
"Don't flirt with me."
"I am not flirting with you, Kyungsoo. You know that," Baekhyun says, waving off the topic as he walks, following Jongin and Chanyeol inside their shared room.
After packing up their things, the four boys go to the parking lot to their car with one of the managers to serve as their driver. They'll head to a secluded park where they frequently spend their day-offs away from fan girls' radars.
"Get on before I change my mind," their manager hyung says boredly as he enters the vehicle, calling the four boys inside.
Chanyeol sits at the back with a happy Baekhyun on his side; Jongin chooses to occupy the seat next to the driver, leaving Kyungsoo no choice to sit away from Baekhyun.
Kyungsoo glares at the two giggling boys, cursing mentally to himself why he agreed to this on the first place.
"Move aside," he says pertaining to Baekhyun and Baekhyun obediently follows, inching closer to Chanyeol quietly. Kyungsoo gets on the vehicle, signaling their manager to drive.
Kyungsoo closes his eyes, waiting for sleep to overcome him, but there is a big problem. He can't sleep when Baekhyun's butt is grossly grinding against his left leg. Baekhyun is so fidgety- he can't stay still long on one position, shifting his body side to side while he talks animatedly to Chanyeol. He's also extremely noisy, disturbing Kyungsoo in his mini sleep.
"Can you please shut the fuck up!?" Kyungsoo shouts between Chanyeol and Baekhyun's fit of laughter towards a funny video on Chanyeol's Ipad. The two boys stop chuckling, straightening their bodies as if afraid of Kyungsoo's wrath.
"You should talk to him," Chanyeol whispers against Baekhyun's ear. "He seems grumpy."
"He's always grumpy," Baekhyun states, giving Kyungsoo a side glance. "Maybe he just wants my attention because he likes me so much, don't you think?"
Baekhyun quirks his eyebrows up and down, causing the taller boy to look at him in disbelief.
"Or maybe he really hates you to death and regrets why he stays being with you."
"Yah, Chanyeol. I thought we love each other. Why are you doing this to me?!!!" Baekhyun noisily whines while stomping his feet.
"No one will love you," Kyungsoo mutters. "You're so annoying."
Baekhyun frowns at Kyungsoo, moving closer to him, hugging his waist sideways. "Do you really mean saying that?"
Kyungsoo groans and shoves Baekhyun away from his body but the latter won't budge, still hugging him tightly like a koala.
"Get the fuck off," Kyungsoo threatens, words coming out within gritted teeth. "Let me go."
"Not letting you go," Baekhyun says into the crook of Kyungsoo's nape. Kyungsoo grabs his hair with his hand, earning a whimper from the older.
"Still not letting me go, huh?"
"Jongin!" Baekhyun cries. "Kyungsoo's pulling my hair- ouch!"
"Bear with it hyung. Fighting," Jongin says without looking up to his phone.
"Chanyeol!" Baekhyun turns to his left. "Kyungsoo's hurting me!"
Chanyeol looks at him worriedly but he then goes back to playing COC on his tablet when Kyungsoo stabs him using his eyes.
"Let go of my body and I'll let go of your hair."
Baekhyun hesitantly releases Kyungsoo and the latter smirks, smiling evilly. He tugs Baekhyun's hair for the last time making Baekhyun hiss in pain.
"If your way of showing affection is through hurting me," Baekhyun seriously says after the pain on his scalp subsides. "I'll always bear with it."
Kyungsoo tears his gaze away from Baekhyun's line of sight, busying himself to look out of the window to hide his growing smile forming on his lips.
The ride becomes comfortably quiet after that, lasting about ten minutes or so. Chanyeol and Jongin are both busy with their gadget while their manager is softly humming to the song on the stereo.
Kyungsoo feels a head over his shoulder, weighing like a ton. Ready to snap at Baekhyun, he turns his head sideward, noting that said boy is fast asleep peacefully. His delicate fingers are perched on top of Kyungsoo's lap while his other hand is clutching Kyungsoo's sleeve loosely.
Kyungsoo looks around the car for good measure before he gently yanks Baekhyun's hand away from his shirt, letting it drop to his side. He bites the inside of his cheek, bringing his hand to gingerly tilt Baekhyun's head so it can rest comfortably on top of his shoulder. Sighing, Kyungsoo goes back to staring at the window as he coughs, feeling suddenly hot inside an air-conditioned car. He stares at the passing trees along the way while he drums his fingers on top of his left leg, crawling little by little closer to where Baekhyun's hand is placed.
He laces their fingers together without looking at Baekhyun as he leans his head onto the window. He absentmindedly traces circling patters on the inside of Baekhyun's palm, feeling the warmth it radiates to his cold skin. He internally thanks the heavens though, because Baekhyun is unconscious, otherwise, he'll be embarrassed as hell and just break his boyfriend's bones instead of caressing it gently like this.
Baekhyun's lips curve upward in his sleep.

Jongin and Chanyeol are already playing one-on-one at the other half of the court when Kyungsoo wakes up inside the car. He gets outside the vehicle and finds Baekyhun standing at the side of the court.
"Hey," Kyungsoo calls while holding a basketball. "Do you want to start?"
Baekhyun enthusiastically nods, grinning. "Let's do this!"
"Okay, listen. This, Baekhyun, is a basketball," Kyungsoo says, holding a basketball on top of his hand. "It's a kind of ball."
"What the heck, Kyungsoo. I know what a ball is. What do you think of me?"
"Do you really want me to answer that?" Kyungsoo teases and he dribbles the ball with his hand.
"So now, all you need to do is to get the ball from me and shoot it inside the ring." He draws near the ring and shoots the ball with a swift move. "Like that."
Baekhyun watches amusedly as Kyungsoo goes back to his position, dribbling the ball again.
"Cool," Baekhyun says. "You look cool, Kyungsoo. I think my heart just skipped a beat when I saw you doing that."
Kyungsoo tries not to blush, so instead he smirks, handing the ball to Baekhyun. "Show off."
"Okay," Baekhyun smiles and he dribbles the ball while Kyungsoo guards him, blocking Baekhyun with his short arms. Baekhyun laughs.
"What are you laughing about?"
"I-you're cute," Baekhyun says and Kyungsoo pauses, caught off guard. Baekhyun takes this as a chance to overtake Kyungsoo, running to the ring and laying up the ball with the flick of his hand inside the basket. The ball bounces up and down the concrete. Kyungsoo just stares at it, picking it up when it lands beside his foot.
"Two-zero!" Baekhyun shouts, his fingers doing a peace sign.
"That's not bad for a beginner," Kyungsoo says. "Now, my turn."
Kyungsoo lets the ball bounce under his hand while he bumps on Baekhyun's body who's blocking him. He turns around quickly and Baekhyun follows, but he returns again to his position, running to the side of the court behind the line. He jumps, attempting to shoot the ball for three-points but Baekhyun grabs his arms, getting the ball from him with force. Kyungsoo falls down, butt dropping first on the ground while Baekhyun makes his way to the basket, shooting the ball, imitating Kyungsoo's example earlier.
"Hey! That was foul, Baekhyun!"
"What's a foul?" Baekhyun asks while panting, catching for his breath, his two arms on his bent knees. "Hey, did I hurt you?"
"No," Kyungsoo says as he stretches his arm to Baekhyun, asking him for assistance. The latter grabs it quickly, helping him to get up.
Kyungsoo trips a little but he holds unto Baekhyun's elbow, grabbing it for dear life. He slightly hugs Baekhyun's sweaty body, gaining his balance. Worried, Baekhyun pulls away gently. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, just a little thirsty."
Baekhyun nods and he gets his water bottle from his bag, opening it for Kyungsoo. "Here, drink this. I'll just drink Chanyeol's."
Kyungsoo then drinks Baekhyun's water while Baekhyun rummages through Chanyeol's bag, getting the taller's water bottle and gulping the liquid to his throat.
"Ah, so refreshing!" Baekhyun says, bumping Kyungsoo's sweaty arm as they watch Jongin and Chanyeol still playing on the court.
"Get your filthy arm off my arm," Kyungsoo states with a threatening tone. "Yuck."
"You know, I fall for you more when you talk to me like that."
There's a few silence before Kyungsoo turns to Baekhyun. He motions his fingers, asking Baekhyun to come closer. Baekhyun gets nearer bemusedly as he watches around the place.
"Now what?" Baekhyun asks, staring at Kyungsoo's eyes. "Did I do something wrong to you?"
Kyungsoo sighs, running a hand through Baekhyun's hair before tugging it harshly.
"Ouch, what was that for!"
"You know, I really hate you," Kyungsoo says, gripping unto Baekhyun's hair with both hands. Baekhyun cries in pain, holding Kyungsoo's arms over his head.
"What the- ouch, Kyungsoo!"
"I freaking hate you, Baekhyun! Why of all people, why!"
"Yeah, I know! Just, ouch! Stop pulling my hair, oh god- aw!"
Kyungsoo pulls away much to Baekhyun's relief. Baekhyun almost celebrates but Kyungsoo's hand is back, holding his neck and shaking it vigorously.
"Are you seriously trying to kill me, Kyungsoo!? Ugh, my neck-
"Of all people, Baekhyun why," Kyungsoo cries in annoyance still strangling Baekhyun's poor neck. "Why are you my boyfriend. Why do I even date a peasant like you."
"Just, ugh- ouch" Baekhyun removes Kyungsoo's fingers curled around his throat. "Give me air to breathe. There. That's better."
Kyungsoo stares at Baekhyun once again, as if trying to kill him using telekinesis. "Go away far from my breathing radius."
"How can you breathe when Your Life is away from you, huh?" Baekhyun says, cupping Kyungsoo's face with his hands. "It's hard without me, Kyungsoo. I'm telling you," Baekhyun says to his boyfriend and he winks.
"You're so annoying little piece of shit," Kyungsoo mutters under his breath. "I didn't even know why we're together."
Baekhyun laughs, leaning his head on top of his knees while smiling at Kyungsoo. "You asked me our first. Don't you know that, babe?"
"No. You asked me out. I didn't ask you out for the record, Byun," Kyungsoo says, arching his eyebrow a little. "I didn't even like you in the first place."
"Liar," Baekhyun giggles. "You didn't remember or you're just doing it on purpose? Remember when you said to me two years ago, "Yah, I like you and go out with me whether you like it or not."
Kyungsoo swallows nervously as he remembers that scene clearly that time when he's (still) head over heels in love with Baekhyun. He shivers. Shit. Why did he even do that? Shit, shit, shit.
"Don't you remember?"
"I-
Baekhyun laughs at Kyungsoo's red face, poking his cheek with his index finger playfully. Kyungsoo puffs his cheeks out, obviously annoyed. Baekhyun coos him, before kissing him without warning, right then and there.
Baekhyun kisses him deeper, nibbling his upper lip and sliding to his lower lip, sucking it. Kyungsoo's mind protests but he doesn't pull away. He stays there and lets himself be drowned by Baekhyun's lips.
And it all comes down to him.
How soft Baekhyun's lips are, how careful and gentle his kisses are, as if he's afraid he'll break him, how his finger feels warm under his chin, how his hand protectively cups his face. It feels safe. Baekhyun feels home. Baekhyun is his home.
It all occurs to Kyungsoo, together with the feeling of his erratic beating heart in his chest. He now recalls all, the memories, the bickering, the crying, the sweet love making. He now remembers the answers to his questions.
Baekhyun is the first to pull away from the kiss, his forehead pressed on Kyungsoo's. "Do you now remember why am I your boyfriend even if you hate me the most?"
Kyungsoo smiles, brushing his nose against Baekhyun's. "Yeah." He looks at Baekhyun once again, beaming sweetly.
"Can you remind me that everyday, babe?"
"Now, you're getting creepy, Kyungsoo," Baekhyun says moving away a little. "Calling me babe is... Like very. Illegal. You know, just. Just hate me, okay? Go back to Jongin."
"But Baek! I want you to kiss me again. Please?!" Kyungsoo begs, eyes twinkling a little as he pouts. Baekhyun blushes, clearing his throat awkwardly.
"O... kay. Yeah, uhm, just close your eyes."
Baekhyun sighs dejectedly while telling himself that this is why he's not kissing Kyungsoo. He's becoming very demanding.
Baekhyun pecks Kyungsoo's lips quickly and he pulls away when Chanyeol and Jongin arrive. They sit on the bench beside them.
"So, are you two really okay now? No more dragging us in your personal affairs?" Chanyeol asks and Jongin hums in agreement.
Kyungsoo shrugs his shoulders. "I still hate Baekhyun no matter what."
"Yeah, yeah. I know that already," Baekhyun answers with a pout. "I love you too."
Chanyeol and Jongin groan altogether with Kyungsoo's pretending-to-vomit action. They push Kyungsoo straight to Baekhyun's face as the couple stumbles on the grass- Kyungsoo on top while Baekhyun on the bottom.
Ten seconds has passed and still they're not getting up yet. Jongin peeks from below and sees, eyes widening in shock, how the couple make out passionately in that position, doing inappropriate things with their hands around each other's body. Jongin shrieks, covering his eyes.
"Get a freaking room! Dammit!"
"Gross. Don't suck each other's faces on public!" Chanyeol yells, dragging Jongin with him.
The two taller boys leave the place before throwing rocks at the couple making out with no care in the world.
Kyungsoo pulls away from Baekhyun's face, irritated, when he feels a rock being thrown to his general direction.
"What the hell. Who hit me!?"
"Enough of that," Baekhyun groans, rolling over to his stomach. He stands up, dusting his own clothes. "We should go back, Kyungsoo. Let's go?"
Kyungsoo nods happily, trailing beside Baekhyun. He slings an arm inside Baekhyun's arced elbow while putting his hand inside his boyfriend's pocket.
"You know, even I always hate you, sometimes I love you," Kyungsoo says looking anywhere aside from Baekhyun.
Baekhyun smiles. "Only sometimes?"
"Yeah. You should do something about it, you know?"
"Hmm, why don't we just continue what we started earlier at the dorm later, yeah?" Baekhyun lets out a blinding smile while wiggling his eyebrows in that suggestive look again with a hint of something indecent.
"I'll show you incredible things, like... playing basketball, my style."
Kyungsoo rolls his eyes. Baekhyun licks his lips. "If you know what I mean. So, how's that sound?"
"You know what," Kyungsoo quietly responds after a brief moment. "I'm glad that you're now using your brain."
Baekhyun laughs as he follows Kyungsoo's obvious rushing steps heading to their car. There's a spring on Baekhyun step as he skips together with Kyungsoo.
"Someone's excited!"
"Shut up and just walk, Slowpoke."
