"N-No. I-I have a g-girlfriend..."Baekhyun stuttered, his eyes meeting Jihoon's. The host was giving him this intense look, making the vocalist feel small and vulnerable. The way Jihoon looked at him made Baekhyun feel like he was lying, despite previously speaking the truth. The hairs on Baekhyun's arms prickled and he shuddered, dread filling his stomach.

"Well if you have a girlfriend, why did you kiss Chanyeol? If it was an accident, why didn't you push him back right away? Do you have feelings for him? Are you two in a secret relationship? Was this your way of coming out together?"

"It was actually-" Baekhyun was going to say that it was fan service, hopefully managing to end all these questions related to BaekYeol, but Jihoon had a lot more to say. The host was firing away his questions too quickly for Baekhyun to even cut in.

"Your eyes were closed and you even grabbed him and pulled him closer. And when it was over, you ran away in quite an embarrassing state. You were crying and your cheeks were all red. You were so caught up in the moment that it was too late for you to realize what you had done; you forget to hide your feelings. Furthermore, I couldn't help but notice that when you walked in, you were wearing a sweatshirt with Chanyeol's name on it. And don't couples share clothes? Here viewers, see for yourself."

A new picture appeared on the tv. It was one of Baekhyun from behind as he entered the studio. And Jihoon was right. The vocalist was wearing Chanyeol's white sweatshirt from OVERDOSE era with the number '61' printed beneath the rapper's name. Baekhyun eyes were glued to the screen in disbelief. He had Chanyeol's sweatshirt on. The vocalist's cheeks tingled with warmth. He was in such a hurry during the morning that he hadn't paid attention when he was getting dressed.

 Well this was an unfortunate coincidence.

Oh lord. I have no idea what to say first. But I have to answer all the questions. I don't want to turn this into something that the media can make a scandal out of. I should just say from the beginning that I was minding my own business-no, I'll just say that Chanyeol and I planned it out. Yeah, that would definitely work. Ugh but then I can't explain why I ran away crying... and why I pushed him away if it really was fan service. . And it didn't even look like Jihoon believed that ert. I'm so ing screwed. I should have never kissed Chanyeol in the first place. God I'm not gay I'm not. I have Taeyeon. I don't like Chanyeol that way. And I don't like . Wait I didn't even answer that first question properly. God I hope they don't think I'm bi like Yeol. .

"Baekhyun? Are you okay? You've been quiet for a while now."

"Of course he's quiet, man. You threw a whole bunch of questions at him without even letting him answer one." Chanyeol frowned at the host and glanced over at Baekhyun, who looked like he was having a mental breakdown.

"By the way, we all share clothes." Kai chimed in. "I'm wearing Sehun's underwear right now."

That earned a few muffled laughs from the staff members. The host was very unsatisfied with these boring answers and because of this, he decided to stray away from the script.

“Does Taeyeon know that you’re cheating on her with Chanyeol, Baekhyun?”

That seemed to snap Baekhyun out of his thoughts. “Dude what the actual ? I’m as straight as an arrow. I have a ing GIRLfriend and we’ve been dating for over a year. I would never be unfaithful to her. She’s the only one for me. She’s been there for me in my best moments, and my worst ones. Taeyeon understands me on a level that no one else does. She’s the kindest, nicest person you will ever meet. She’s beautiful on the inside and on the outside. Taeyeon is my world, my sunshine, my heartbeat, my best friend, and my girlfriend. A blind man could see how much I love her.  I love Taeyeon more than I’ve ever loved anyone.  Hell, next year I’m planning to propo-”

One of the EXO members felt his heart drop. Baekhyun’s face was ing glowing while he talked about Taeyeon. His eyes were bright and shining and everyone could see that they were filled with love. And though his tone was initially angry, everyone could hear the love that aded it as he spoke. The member smiled sadly. If only he was loved as much as Taeyeon was by Baekhyun. 

Jihoon let out an obnoxiously fake laugh before Baekhyun could finish his sentence. He felt a bit embarrassed, realizing that he may or may have not crossed a line. Just as he was about to ask another questions, Chanyeol interrupted him. 

“Eh, Baek’s not my type anyway. He’s too much to handle.” Chanyeol cut in. 

The host flicked his gaze over to Chanyeol. “Oh is that so, Chanyeol-ssi?”

"Of course man. Props to Taeyeon because Baekhyun is a little bit too much of a diva." He laughed. 

Baekhyun scrunched up his nose. 

"What's your type then? No- answer that." Jihoon smirked when a sudden thought came to him. "If you were to date a member of EXO, who would it be?"

The maknae's heart skipped a beat. He felt his palms release a cold sweat and his legs begin to shake. He glanced at Chanyeol for a moment and then looked away, his cheeks beginning to burn and heart rate quickly increasing. . He thought. Why am I feeling like this right now? It's not Chanyeol. It was never him.... And it never will be. Plus there's no way he'd say my name, right? It would make the fans suspicious and it would make all the other hyungs suspicious so....There is absolutely no way that it'd be me. It isn't me. He's probably going to say it's Kyungsoo because he's good at cooking and he's small and cute and all that .

“Who would I date?” The rapper said. “Hmmm.” He looked down the row thoughtfully, eyes passing over all the members before he looked back at Jihoon. (Seating arrangement : Sehun, Baekhyun, D.O, Kai, Lay, Xiumin, Suho, and Chanyeol. Jihoon and Chen are on the other side of the set.)

Baekhyun followed Chanyeol’s gaze and couldn’t help but notice it lingered at the opposite end of the row.

He frowned. Don’t you dare look at me like that Park Chanyeol, you biual ert. Baekhyun thought. If he already said I’m not his type, why is he looking over here? And what’s that weird look in his eyes? It almost looks like...longing. And it was at that moment that Baekhyun felt a slight twinge of unease in his chest. 

Sehun gulped.

Chanyeol had made eye contact with him for the most fleeting moment. And there was something different about the glint in his eyes. But it was only there for a moment, a look he had only seen once before. It had been someone else. 

Someone who had been such a big influence on him ever since he became an SM trainee. Someone who was his hyung. Someone who was role model. Someone who was his other half. Someone who made his head spin and his knees shake. Someone who's presence always managed to comfort him. Someone who always accepted him. Someone who was once his reason to wake up every day. Someone who was the last thought in his mind before he went to sleep. Someone who was always in his dreams. Someone who was the first thought in his mind when he woke up. Someone who he thought was the most beautiful person he had ever encountered. Someone who he always wanted, but could never have. Someone he would probably never see again. Someone who was the first man he loved. 

Luhan hyung…

“The only one I would date is Sehun.”
