Chap 3: Working Out

Finding Comfort

(Skip to EXO preparing for their Call Me Baby album, cuz I’m too lazy to go into detail… hehe)

(Minseok’s POV)

We had just finished recording three songs for our upcoming album, and were now having a break. I decided to go to the gym, since I’ve been working on having define abs like Changmin sunbae. I didn’t want to go alone though. I went to ask the members if they wanted to tag along with me.

“Baekhyun-ah, do you want to go to the gym with me?”

“No thanks hyung, I’m staying in the dorm to practice my high notes with Jongdae, D.O and Suho,” he replied.

I moved on to the others, “Jongin, would you like to come with me to the gym?”

“Sorry hyung, Lay hyung and I need to help Tao with the ‘Call Me Baby’ dance.”

“No problem, I’ll go there myself.” I said. I was just about open the door when a pair of hands wrapped around my body.

“Hyung,” I could hear the maknae’s cute voice, “where are you going?”

I smiled as I gently removed his clingy arms and turned around. It’s so funny how Sehun acts all cool most of the time in public, then acts like a baby in the dorm.

“I’m going to the gym to work out, want to join me?” He replied with a smile, “Ok hyung, I’ll go change and get my things.”

(Sehun’s POV)

I walked with Minseok hyung beside me. It feels strange, every second I spend with Minseok makes me feel like Luhan’s with. Gosh, why do I keep thinking about him? It’s 2015 already, but I can’t seem to shake the past off, thinking about Luhan made me think of Kris hyung and how they left.

“Sehun, are you okay?” Minseok’s voice made me snap out of my thoughts.

“What?”

“You were frowning, what were you thinking about?” he asked with a concerned look.

“Nothing, hyung. Don’t worry.” I said to him.

“Were you thinking of Luhan?”

“How did you know hyung?”

“I know that you had a hard time to get over two members leaving, especially your best friend, I feel that way too. Keeping yourself busy, or your efforts to clear your mind, like your late night drives with Tao don’t help do they?” I, still in shock, nodded.

“Don’t worry Sehun, you’ll get over it soon,” he reassured. We approached the entrance of the gym and before he opened the door, I suddenly asked him if he got over Luhan and Kris leaving.

“No, I couldn’t get them out of my head. Especially Luhan,” he answered, with a sad tone. As we stepped in, I wanted to change topics.

“So hyung, you’ve been going the gym for quite a long time, have you got your abs yet?”

“Well, it’s going well. I-,”

“I wanna see your abs hyung!” I suddenly interrupted.

(Minseok’s POV)

“I wanna see your abs hyung!” Sehun exclaimed, interrupting me. I was shocked by his sudden demand.

“Aish, not yet. Just be patient Sehun, I still need to work out to perfect them.” I said, slightly blushing.

“I’m pretty sure they’re perfect already after your numerous trips to the gym before and after the tour,” he said, making me blush harder as we went up the stairs.

We reached the gym and put our bags down. I immediately went to the weight-lifting section, grabbed some dumbbells and started working out. Sehun followed me and did the same thing, but after a few seconds he stopped.

“Lifting weights is tiring, I’m just gonna go to the treadmill.”

I chuckled, “It’s just a 5kg dumbbell, I’m sure it’s not that heavy.”

*1 hour later*

We finally finished working out and were drenched in sweat. Sehun was panting as we headed to the showers. As I put my clothes on the bench, I took off my wet shirt and heard a gasp from the younger.

“Hyung, why perfect your abs when they’re like that?!” he exclaimed as he pointed at my stomach.

(Sehun’s POV)

I was just sitting on the bench, catching my breath, when Minseok took off his shirt. I gasped, maybe a bit too loud, because his abs were showing and they were nothing like his soft, flat stomach like before. Now, in the place of the smooth, milky surface is a perfect six-pack. I couldn’t help but stare with my mouth open, almost drooling at the sight.

“Hyung, why perfect your abs when they’re like that?!” I blurted out.

“Yah! Stop staring and go shower,” he squeaked, pouting a bit (which I found cute…hehe) as he grabbed his towels and toiletries and marched to the shower stalls. I couldn’t help but smile at my hyung as I headed to the showers stalls as well.

After the awkward tension, we finished showering and were heading back to the dorm when Minseok’s phone rang. It was Kyungsoo hyung.

“Hello?”

“Hyung!” he screeched, “Could you please stop by at the supermarket to get some japchae noodles for me? Jongin has been whining to me for the whole day to make him those, and we don’t have them at the dorm. I also want to cook noodles for dinner.”

“Calm down Kyungsoo, I’ll get you the noodles. Do you need anything else?” Minseok calmly asks.

“Hyung!” I heard Jongin’s voice on the other line, “Can you please buy us some bags of honey butter chips, pepero and banana milk! Thanks!”

“Ok,” he replied with a chuckle, “I’ll see you later.”

“Bye hyung!” Both Jongin and Kyungsoo replied.

We headed straight to the nearest supermarket to get the things, buying bubble tea in the process. I, of course would get the chocolate flavored bubble tea and Minseok would get the coffee flavored one. It was 5 o’clock when we reached the dorm, and we were greeted by my owl-eyed hyung and clingy Jongin.

“Finally you’re here!” Kyungsoo said in relief. He looked stressed, probably because of Jongin endless whines. Kyungsoo then grabbed the shopping bags and headed straight for the kitchen, dragging Minseok to the kitchen to help him cook since he knows he can’t cook well when he’s stressed or annoyed. Then Jongin pulled me into the living room where the others were at, to watch his favorite movie, Cart.
