How to Say (It)

Description

Do Kyungsoo and Kim Junmyeon are best friends in love, just not with each other.

Junmyeon doesn't even drink coffee, but that won't keep him from coming back for more from the cute barista who works at the campus cafe. And Kyungsoo has always been good with languages, but that’s no help when trying to start a conversation with a certain someone who only knows how to speak through dance. College!au

 

Foreword

Kim Junmyeon hadn't meant to visit that little cafe across from the Library, but that Tuesday Kyungsoo had cancelled their tutoring session at the absolute last minute and consequently changed Junmyeon's life forever.

When he opens the door to the jingle of that little bell above his head and is greeted by the most adorable dimples he's ever seen, Junmyeon is sure he's never been so attracted to another human being in his life...which is why it's not too terrible that Yixing also works Thursday afternoons--right at the time Junmyeon and Kyungsoo usually meet to study.

As for Do Kyungsoo, he wasn't quite sure how he'd gone from being the boy who could communicate with everyone to this sorry excuse for a man stumbling over his words in front of the most beautiful human being he'd ever seen. Basically, Kyungsoo thought Kim Jongin was flawless and he hadn't even seen the boy dance.

When he finally does get to witness Jongin in his element, Kyungsoo is so awestruck that he can't formulate words (in any language)...which is why it's probably a good thing Jongin doesn't care too much about all that linguistic stuff anyway.


This was supposed to be a one-shot but it got a little too long. Main!Kaisoo and Sulay(obviously), but with a little Side!Chenmin, Baekyeol, Hunhan, Taoris, and some barely there Kyungjeong (History) thrown in.

Disclaimer: I don't own these characters. 2nd Disclaimer: I've never written an EXO fic in my life, nor have I ever ventured outside of hetero pairings.

So if this is absolutely terrible, someone please be a dear and let me down gently, alright? And if it isn't absolutely terrible, commenting to tell me that would likewise be much appreciated.

Xie-sh (Slang for "xie xie" that my sisters and I invented when we first moved to Shanghai and were too lazy to say "thank you" in Mandarin the proper way) and much love, Author-unnie (I know some writers here go by author-nim but this is a little less formal, don't you think?)

Chapter 6: Yixing nodded at that, as if pleased to hear that Junmyeon wasn't actually dying of asphyxiation. Kyungsoo, however, didn't stop there. "It's just that you," he said, taking a short pause for dramatic effect--his favorite drama character did that all the time and Kyungsoo was a fan--"you take our Jun-hyun's breath away."

Chapter 7: Love your story so much because even though I don't exactly talk in 17 languages, knowing three languages fluently is actually a pretty odd jobs in my brain. it mixes those languages into a mush of gibberish somehow with the other two languages I'm trying to learn. thank God I do not get into the Language Snob level. lol.
