Familiar scent

Where were you last night?

 

[A/N: Hi my dear readers. I'm sorry I haven't updated, but I'll make a double update today. On another note, WOULD GUY GUISE BE OKAY WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF ? Like seriosuly, no whipping, just slightly rated stuff. Please tell me what you think!

@LavishlyLay- Thank you for your constant kind words, I always look forward to reading your comments n__n and well, I try to keep it as realistic as possible, I know I'm not the only one who's tired of those stereotypical fic characters.

@fictionator- Oh yes. Actually, no. I just had a Chanyeol dream and tell me tell you, my hands were all over his abs. Can't get better than that.

@panzym- right you were! And oh, that means you're complimenting my sense of humor aswell, yeeee? -smug face- And there will be more Kai and more Chanyeol, look forward to it~!

@Delly_BoiBBC- It's nice to see you fangirling over my fic as I did over yours! Which you BTW haven't updated, wae? Haha, which is it then, Lay or Kai, hmm?

@yeollikeabuffalo- haha, you're confused too! I wonder what will your response be after this chapter and a few following ones. Since your username IS Yeol like a buffalo. 

@Cshinmi- I'll post the Krisus special chapter after three... Wait, one, two... three, yes three chapters, I hope it's okay n___n

@kinnak- Innnaa, your support means the world to me, and your long comments are heartwarming, I love reading them. Oh, you Kai shipper :3 I hope you enjoy the fic even with the main isn't with Kai all the time.

@Igotsmiles1- Mixed emotions, you say? Get ready for them to be even more mixed, kekeke.

@LeaderMaknae- That poor keyboard didn't deserve that -dramatic sob-, go pet it, it might not forgive you otherwise.

@shesback- WOOHO shesback isback! And your comment wasnt ty. I'd love your comments even if every one of them only said 'asdf'. <3 Meow. 

@Wolley- Ya know, this reminds me of this Thai song I found on YT, and all the comments were in thai..thai language. Haha. So I wrote a comment like "I wish I could understand what the top comments mean. Tsing tsong pling plong." and someone even replied to the comment! Not in english though. Haah, piddles poodles, paddles. 

Over and out]

 

The rest of the day passed pretty awkwardly. Of course everyone noticed that something was up, so Kai had to tell them an extra juicy version of what happened.

I sighed and walked to the kitchen to take out my useless fruits. All of a sudden, I heard a voice speaking right next to me.

„So there’s two options. One – you forgot to come back to me. Or two – you’re ignoring me.“

I jolted when I heard Lay’s voice that close to me.

„Geez, don’t scare me like that!“ I sighed and held my hand on my chest.

„I was here this whole time, you just didn’t notice me.“ He calmly said and crossed his arms on his chest. „So, answer me. Which one of the options?“

I was so annoyed and tired at that time, that I felt a little bit too brave and spilled it out.

„I escaped, okay! I wasn’t quite comfortable with how physically close we were!“ I hissed. I heard a clatter and saw a few empty cans falling off the table and Kai rushing out of the kitchen.

Reality check. The odds that he simply bumped into the cans and they accidentally fell off the table versus the odds that he pushed them off the table. Even though I didn’t want to admit it, it felt like he pushed them off the table.

Could it be...

I saw Sehun in the living room, sitting on the couch, his puzzled gaze following Kai. When Kai was out of the view, he looked at me. It was hard to keep my cool, but I successfully I managed to look somewhat normal.

Luhan stepped in the kitchen and saw my stiff expression. He tapped his cheek with his finger and frowned a bit.

„You know what,“ he asked me „Let’s go out, have a small BBQ party, release tensions a bit.“ He walked toward me and cupped my face. „What do you think, hm?“

I hugged Luhan and nodded. It was perfect. And I knew I could relax with Luhan, we never had secrets or misunderstandings.

 

Sehun, Luhan and Lay were preparing for the BBQ party and I was quietly getting the dishes from the kitchen. Thankfully, we had a small corner in our backyard with a table, a few benches, an outside fireplace and a place to cook the food. We got all the stuff down and before we started to cook, it felt like something was missing.

„Guys, do we have any coal?“ Sehun asked. I looked at Luhan, waiting for him to  answer. Instead of giving us a reply, he stormed back inside. But he came back with a half full bag of coal.

„I don’t want to go to the store!“ Luhan whined and looked at the rest of us.

His stares were ignored as none of us really wanted to go.

„Why don’t we just burn some logs and use them as coal?“ Lay proposed. Everyone agreed, as it was chilly outside and it was cozy to hang around the fireplace. As we took some logs and slipped them in the fireplace, we realized that one thing was still missing.

„Lighter fluid.“ Luhan said as he snapped his fingers.

„You blind people, it’s right here.“ Kai said as he took the bottle from under the table. „Who was stupid enough to put it here anyway?“ he talked to himself.

Chanyeol snapped the bottle from Kai’s hands and started eagerly making a fire.

I sat on one of the benches and rested my hands on the table in front of me when I felt someone sit next to me.

„Luhan.“ I softly said. He smiled and put a can on the table.

„You’ve had quite of an emotional rollercoaster today. You deserve to loosen up a bit.“ He said as he pushed my favorite yellow plum cider closer to me. I gratefully took the can, opened it and took a huge sip. I already felt my body relax and I sighed in content.

„Uhhhh, so good!“

I aimed the can at Chanyeol and turned the stay-on tab 180 degrees. Carefully I squeezed my thumb under the tab and after some aiming, I shoved the tab off and it landed on Chanyeol’s cheek. He tried to find the culprit and looked like a lost lamb. I couldn’t help but laugh. It took Chanyeol a few seconds to understand what’s going on, but when he did, he laughed along and ran toward me.

„Why you little...“ he shouted, laughing at the same time. I faked a desperate scream and ran away from him while laughing at the same time. We ran around for a while until he caught me as I accidentally ran into a dead-end. He gave me a comforting back hug and didn’t let go. Just like that we tried to walk back to the others, one step at a time, trying to move same feet. As Chanyeol realized that we failed at that, he lifted me up and threw me over his shoulder. I couldn’t help but laugh again.

„Yeollie, put me down, I don’t like being ... like... this.“ I begged, trying to catch my breath from running and laughing.

He put me down when we got back to the table and I fanned my face.

„It’s red, right?“ I asked Chanyeol. He just smiled. I turned to Lay, who was standing near us, face turned to the opposite direction. I put my hand on his shoulder and shook it.

„Lay-y-y! Is my face red?“ I whined. When he turned to face me, he took my hand from his shoulder and held it in his hands.

„Yes you are.“ He said with a light chuckle. I sighed and turned to Chanyeol again.

“Revenge is sweet.” I meaningfully said. He just made an innocent face and returned to the fireplace. He put the logs in so they formed a cone and squirted some lighter fluid on it. When he threw a match in it, huge flames burst out of nowhere and it sent Chanyeol to fall backwards.

“How much of that fluid did you put on the logs?” Kai asked with a suspicious face.

“Just so everything was covered in it.” Chanyeol said. Luhan took the bottle and gasped. “You shouldn’t have used that much, Chanyeol!” he said and slowly shook his head. That made me chuckle too. It was relaxing to laugh.

 

After quite some time we were still sitting there, doing nothing. The logs hadn’t burnt into coal yet, but everyone were too lazy to buy some. Chanyeol’s face suddenly brightened up and he took a steel scoop that was on the ground, near the fireplace. The scoop was usually used to take the burnt coal from the fireplace and transport it to the place you can cook your meat. At first we thought that Chanyeol is taking the half burnt coals and replacing them already and we shook our hands and mumbled “no-no-no”s. But as we carefully watched Chanyeol, it appeared that he had something else on his mind.

He stood in front of the fireplace and started aggressively fanning air to the fire. All of us started to crack up, one by one. 

 

While we were busy laughing, Chanyeol fanned the fire with the most serious face and eventually it was as good as done. We stopped laughing for a while to realize that he actually achieved something and that made us have another round of laughters.

When Chanyeol was done with the coals, he walked toward me with an accomplished smirk on his face.

“While you were busy laughing, I saved the day! How about a thank you?” he faked a gentleman voice. I playfully slapped his hand and we started cooking the meat.

We already had our last pieces of meat cooking, when we suddenly felt raindrops on our hands and foreheads.

“! IT’S GOING TO RAIIIN!” my overly excited Chanyeol shouted.

Wait, my?                                                                                     

Guys started to take the plates with meat in, when I stayed behind to guard the last pieces that were cooking. I felt a familiar scent and closed my eyes to inhale it.

“What are you doing here, Kai?” I calmly asked. I heard his chuckle behind him, then he opened an umbrella and held it above my head. His scent was even stronger now, as his hand was resting on my side, holding the umbrella.

“How did you know it was me?” he asked, clearly amused.

“Your scent.” I told him honestly and gathered the remaining meat on a plate. When I turned around to go back inside, he was still standing in the same spot, so he was blocking my way. His lips curved to a sweet smile and he took his cardigan off after seeing me shiver, put it over my shoulders, took the plate from my hands and waited for me to move in. I grabbed my cider on the way and we finally went inside.

When we got inside, I pushed my hands in the sleeves of the cardigan, not showing any signs of wanting to take It off. It was the perfect boyfriend cardigan. Smelled heavenly and was big for me.

Thanks to Kai, Lay and Chanyeol, I started getting used to Sehun’s presence, although another problem rose.

Those three… what do I feel for them?

As the night approached, I had another chat session with Chanyeol. Almost everything was the same as usually. Except for the fact that I couldn’t tell him everything for the first time. I kept some things to myself. I guess I had to solve my puzzle again.

Chapter 37: It's your story so you should do what you feel is best, but I personally like the back and forth drama of the plot. Since you keep questioning whether it's worth it to keep going or not, maybe you could end it in a chapter or two? But it's totally up to you in the end and I'd personally like you to keep going! It's just that if you're tired of the story or don't know what to do with it, no one can help that. My two cents ^_^

Chapter 36: Daww thank you so much!! Even if you would've written more anyway, it's nice to be acknowledged ^_^
And dang, what a chapter! Still super depressing, but I'm glad Kai and the rest of the boys were there to help her through. I hope she won't be delusional anymore!
