Chanyeol's POV

 

 

I like you just as you are, Jongdae hyung... You don't have to make sure things between us are equal, I like that you're shorter than me. I like that you're the vocalist while I'm the rapper. But you probably won't ever know...
 

 

We are born in the same year right? I heard that same-year couples don't speak politely so i'm going to do so too...

 

 

Why did you choose to be in China, Jongdae-ah? Initially, you were with us. When SM wanted a switch, why didn't you insist on staying? Why won't you stay put and be with us..me?

 

 

Are you still feeling awkward over that kiss? I'm sorry, really am. It's just..I can't control myself around you... You make me nervous yet I want to do those things to show you my feelings.

 

 

I can't seem to stop myself from thinking of you; especially that night when I kissed you. It's like that kiss represented all my feelings for you. It was fine when you didn't react violently, I thought you would and had understood. So I thought I would get a favourable answer the next day.

 

 

Instead, you went ahead and break my heart by switching with Oh Sehun, the youngest in our clique.

After half a year of auditioning, twelve trainees were selected for SM's latest project.
 

 

Right after announcement, the twelve trainees were ushered to a conference room.
 

 

From there, they were briefed on what they will be debuting as. They were called EXO, from EXOPLANET.
 

 

 

"EXO; SM's latest project. We have long released news for M1 and M2 in 2011. Therefore, the anticipation level for you all is insane! Netizens have already started creating fan clubs and websites; all just waiting for us to release further news. Isn't that great?" the management head rub his hands together, smiling widely at just the thought of earning more money through EXO.
 

 

'M1 and M2...?'
 

 

"But of course, you all would need to start anew for your image. And that would be done in the following week after confirmation week. As of now, do take note that EXO will be splitting into two; M1 and M2." another management head smiled.
 

 

"But why are we splitting, sir?" Joonmyeon asked while eyeing the others.
 

 

"Simple, we plan to hit two different markets at one time; killing two birds with one stone. Korea and China."
 

 

'What? We aren't together?'

 

 

'I knew it was too good to be true! I mean, there would be a reason to explain Chinese trainees!'

 

 

'We are probably split 6:6...'

A round of audition within the twelve took place the next week.
 

 

 

•
 

 

 

"This is not confirmed but this is the results of the audition. When your name is called, please move to the right side of the stage. Kim Joonmyeon, Park Chanyeol, Byun Baekhyun, Kim Jongin, Do Kyungsoo and Kim Jongdae." When the six boys shifted, the management head continued, "You guys will be EXO-K. The rest, EXO-M."
 

 

Kim Joonmyeon, the trainee who trained for 7 years and had been a model student of Seoul Music Institute was EXO's and EXO-K's leader. While Wu Fan was appointed EXO-M's leader. His chosen stage name was Kris.

"Cheers~!" Minseok, the oldest stood up and raise his cup. The others then followed along and rose their cups.
 

 

It was definitely worth celebrating and everyone-underage or not, drank.
 

 

 

•
 

 

 

Within an hour, everyone was down. Well, except three trainees. The 92-liners; Baekhyun, Jongdae and Chanyeol.
 

 

 

•
 

 

 

"Jongdae-ah..." the mentioned one sat upright from his position and stumbled over. "Yes, hyung? Ah, so dizzy..."
 

 

"I think I'm crazy..for feeling like this for him..." and Baekhyun laughed.
 

 

Jongdae tilts his head, unable to understand what his hyung had just said. "I don't understand... What?"
 

 

"Sometimes, I feel like I like him alot as a dongsaeng... Sometimes, I feel like giving him a hug then kissing him... What is this..feeling? My heart... Ah, what is love..? This?" Baekhyun places a hand over his chest and moves it, like mimicking how a heart beats. Then laughs all over again.
 

 

"You mean you like one of us?" Jongdae prays it's not him. "Chan..yeol... He's all I have... We share rooms..we play games together..we are always together.. Haha! I'm the older one but he's like an angel, my angel... Jongdae-ah... I think I love him... He has been there for me ever since I joined..."
 

 

Jongdae widen his eyes at the confession. He quickly turns to the left to see Chanyeol already knocked out; and mutters a quick thank you.
 

 

What would Chanyeol think of Baekhyun if he had heard what he just said...
 

 

He thinks back; it suddenly became obvious that whenever Chanyeol is around, Baekhyun would look extra happy. For that, Jongdae dare says that Baekhyun is always happy.
 

 

It made sense that whenever possible, Baekhyun would stick with Chanyeol. And it's not like the latter doesn't reciprocate, Chanyeol does.
 

 

Chanyeol would make sure Baekhyun doesn't get lost anymore, that Baekhyun is comfortable and happy. They would also do all sort of weird stuffs together, like chasing after some stray dogs in the park or tasting all possible food in the supermarket. Everything they could think of.
 

 

 

•
 

 

 

He didn't know how to react after Baekhyun's confession and so just lean against the sofa.
 

 

Jongdae sighs and scans around; everyone is either on top of each other or alone..all knocked out.
 

 

Leader hyung had Kyungsoo against his chest, Sehun was all over JongIn and Luhan hyung, Yixing hyung was in-between Kevin(Kris) hyung and Zitao-who had each other in their embraces, Baekhyun had crawled to Minseok and..eh? 2, 5, 8, 10 and myself being 11...
 

 

Someone's...
 

 

"Hyung..." a husky deep voice sounded from behind him. Jongdae whip his head back to come face to face with Chanyeol.

 

 

"Hmm..?"
 

 

Then he realise...
 

 

How close...
 

 

Chanyeol's face was so close to his own, his heart skipped upon realizing this fact. It didn't help that Jongdae felt his own ears burning.
 

 

Must be the alcohol in my system, he tells himself. Why is his face so close..? And..and why is he leaning forward..?

 

 

 

"Chan-" and Jongdae felt warm lips over his own. "..yeol..." as they pulled away real slightly so he could finish his sentence.
 

 

Instead of pulling away, Chanyeol's lips plant itself on Jongdae's again. Firmly.
 

 

Pushing down with more and more pressure till their teeth collide with each other.
 

 

He eyes the hands that cup his cheeks. Jongdae wasn't sure if he's still breathing.
 

 

The other party's lips did not move after that. Both bodies just froze as they were.
 

 

If Jongdae has to recall when was the last time his eyes had open so wide in his entire years of living, he wouldn't be able to; because today they just did.
 

 

Chanyeol, his future member of EXO-K is kissing him. On the lips. Right on the most sensitive part of his entire face.
 

 

Park Chanyeol.
 

 

Lips.
 

 

Kiss.
 

 

The bitter taste from Chanyeol's lips probably came from all the alcohol he drank. Jongdae frowns before regaining some sense. With all the strength that he gathered, he was ready to push Chanyeol.
 

 

His eyes fall on the other's pair of goldfish eyes and it would be an understatement to say that Chanyeol's eyes were filled with feelings. It's not confusion, not blank...
 

 

It's like Chanyeol was sober and that he knew what he was doing.
 

 

But that's impossible right?
 

 

Then how would it explain the soberness of the other if he's a guy and he's kissing another?
 

 

A guy don't kiss another guy, that's..wrong.

Chanyeol's POV

 

 

I kissed him.
 

 

Kim Jongdae hyung.
 

 

No, Jongdae; we are merely a few months apart so there's no reason to call him hyung..right?
 

 

He looked so adorable just sitting there alone, with reddish cheeks so I approached him.
 

 

When I called out to him, he wasn't listening. So it took me awhile before I could capture his attention.
 

 

However, when I did, I kissed him.
 

 

He didn't move away or judge me... Does that mean I will get a favorable answer tomorrow?
 

 

Argh, my head hurts...
 

 

It's heavy too...
 

 

Everywhere is spinning.
 

 

Jongdae is still in a daze...
 

 

I think I will..take a nap.
 

 

 

•
 

 

 

I guess, this is another reason why i have to leave EXO-K for EXO-M, Jongdae thought.
 

 

 

•
 

 

 

The initial reason?
 

 

Naive Jongdae personally thinks it's because he scores well during chinese lessons.
 

 

His ability to grasp the language faster and better than the rest.
 

 

How wrong he was...
 

 

When he was approached by one of the management heads, that very day after the meeting; Jongdae knew it was more to meet than the eye.
