Chanyeol leaned back in his chair, resting his hands on top of his head as he twirled a pen in his hand. Yet again, he's written a cheesy letter to his crush of 2 years. And yet again, he doesn't have the courage to give it to the other boy. Picking up the letter, Chanyeol folded it in half before sliding out a box from under his bed. Opening the small, black shoebox, he dropped the letter inside on top of all the previous letters he'd written. Hearing a loud banging on his door, Chanyeol hurriedly shoved the box back under the bed just as the door flung open. Leaning against the doorway was Chanyeol's crush, a petite brunette boy with thick glasses perched on his nose and his lips pulled into a frown.

"Geez, Yeol, how long does it take you to open a door?" the smaller boy scolded playfully before grinning. "Did your giant limbs get stuck again?"

"Sorry Jongdae," the taller boy mumbled, slightly flustered.

"Did I interrupt something?" Jongdae teased, strolling into the room casually.

"No. Nothing," Chanyeol sighed, flopping onto the bed. "So, did you need something?"

"I just wanted to hang out. Is there something wrong with that?" the smaller boy pouted and Chanyeol couldn't help but notice how nice the other's lips looked.

"No, there's nothing wrong with that," Chanyeol reluctantly tore his gaze away from the smaller boy's lips, knowing that he'd do something stupid if he kept staring. "So, how are you these days? Anything special?"

Jongdae grinned as he seated himself next to the taller male. He started talking excitedly about recent events happening around school and in his classes that Chanyeol couldn't have cared less about. Chanyeol's eyes travelled across the smaller male, from his deep, brown eyes to his always grinning lips to the boy's thin torso wrapped in an oversized baby blue sweater to his lithe thighs in tight, black jeans. Suddenly, a hand was ed in front of his face and waved around.

"Yeol, are you even listening? Yeol? Park Yeol?" Jongdae asked, pouting again. "YAH! Park Chanyeol. Listen to me, will ya?"

"Hmm? Yeah. Sure" Chanyeol replied hastily.

Chanyeol internally sighed as he watched Jongdae launch into another grandeur speech while swinging his legs ever so closely to the box beneath the bed. Biting his lip nervously, Chanyeol prayed that the smaller boy wouldn't accidentally kick the box, revealing it's presence.

Chanyeol strolled absentmindedly. He really enjoyed days like this. He loved days he could just relax and not stress about class or work. He loved being alone with just his thoughts because, although he looked like an airhead, his thoughts were deep, deeper than the sea.

"Oh! Chanyeol, there you are," Jongdae hurried to Chanyeol's side as they walked together.

"I need to tell you something," Jongdae blushed. He stopped and tugged gently at the back of Chanyeol's jacket.

"What is it?" Chanyeol asked, stopping as well.

"There's been something I've been meaning to tell you. I…I like y-you," Jongdae confessed shyly.

"Then be with me," Chanyeol's heart raced as he chuckled, pulling the brunette into a gentle hug.

Placing a hand on the shorter boy's cheek and another at his waist, Chanyeol smirked watching Jongdae blush again. Leaning down slowly, Chanyeol heard Jongdae whimper feebly. Closing his eyes, Chanyeol could feel Jongdae's soft breathing ghosting over his lips. Leaning in closer to press their lips softly together–

Chanyeol's eyes flung open only to reveal the dark ceiling above him. Sighing, he realized It was one of those dreams again. The long limbed boy rolled onto his side to watch the faintly glowing digital clock that said it was only 3AM. Groaning, Chanyeol rolled over again to face the wall before shutting his eyes again, waiting slowly for sleep to wash over him.

"Oh, Chanyeol. There you are. Jongdae was looking for you," Joonmyeon stopped Chanyeol as he was on his way to a small cafe near campus for his daily dose of caffeine and pastries.

"Really? What for?" Chanyeol wondered what the smaller boy wanted from him this time.

"I don't know. But I think he said he'd look for you at your room."

"," Chanyeol took off as fast as his long legs could take him.

He couldn't risk the possibility of Jongdae finding the little black box beneath his bed, couldn't risk the possibility of Jongdae finding out that chanyeol's crush was the smaller male. He definitely couldn't risk their friendship.

--

Chanyeol was panting as he reached the dorms. His legs burned and his chest ached as he flew up the stairs rather than wait for the slow, dingy elevator. When he burst into his little room, the brunette boy sitting comfortably on the bed jumped, startled by the sudden appearance of Chanyeol. The boy was sitting with his legs pulled up to his chest, his back resting on the wall behind him. He had the same black box that Chanyeol hadn't want him to find, open at his side. One of the letters clutched in his hand. A neat pile of previously read letters formed on the other side of the box. Jongdae's eyes widened as the owner of the letters stormed into the room and grabbed the letter roughly out of his hands. Shoving it, and all the previously read letters, back into the box, Chanyeol clutched it possessively, before he turned to the male that was now curled up on the bed, feeling smaller than ever.

"I'm sorry," Jongdae apologized. He glanced towards the giant looming over him, allowing the taller boy to let out his anger before speaking up.

"WHAT MADE YOU THINK YOU HAD A RIGHT TO COME IN HERE AND GO THROUGH MY STUFF?" Chanyeol felt betrayed and hurt.

"…but it was good," Jongdae's voice was filled with guilt as he whispered softly, Chanyeol almost missing his words.

"I DON'T CARE IF IT WAS GOO-…wait, it was good?" all feelings of anger subsided as he realized what the other had said.

"Yeah. And you wrote it for someone, right?" Jongdae asked. Chanyeol just nodded hesitantly.

"Well, it really shows. Whoever you wrote this for must be really amazing if you wrote them a letter everyday," Jongdae smiled at Chanyeol. Chanyeol thought he heard jealousy in Jongdae's voice.

"Do you mind if I read the rest?" Jongdae asked timidly, finally looking up at Chanyeol for approval

Chanyeol reluctantly handed over the box, sitting awkwardly beside the other boy on the bed. Watching Jongdae as he shuffled through the letters, Chanyeol let out a small smile as he realized that this was probably the closest he'd get to confessing.

"You should give these to your crush. They'd definitely like it," Jongdae said absentmindedly as he continued to read through one of the letters.

"Well…what do you think?" Chanyeol asked cautiously, playing with his thumbs and bravely glancing up at Jongdae as his heart beat loudly in his ears.

"Personally, I like them," Jongdae placed the letter in his hand on the already read pile and picked up a new one, his eyes darting back and forth as he read. "It's sweet and romantic...I like that."

Jongdae glanced up and their eyes met for a split second before they both turned away, faces flushed, unbeknownst to the other. After another hour of excruciating waiting on Chanyeol's part, Jongdae finally set down the last letter. Looking up at the other, Jongdae smiled.

"W-what? Were they that weird?" Chanyeol asked nervously, unable to determine what the smile meant.

"No. It was good. I was just surprised that your thick head was actually that deep," Jongdae teased, getting up from the bed. He stretched his limbs, revealing a slither of delectable skin from where his shirt rode up that Chanyeol couldn't help but unconsciously his lips at the sight of.

"I think that whoever gets these will definitely fall in love with you," Jongdae said. Chanyeol thought he could hear a hint of sadness in his voice.

Waving a goodbye, Chanyeol watched as the smaller male walked away and closing the door behind him. Chanyeol flopped onto his bed and picked up the topmost letter from the pile. Cringing at his bad handwriting, he placed it down with a sigh before getting up and sitting down at his desk with a determined smile.

--

Jongdae hummed as he sipped on the steaming cup of coffee held in his hand. Suddenly remembering the advice he gave his best friend, Jongdae frowned. Chanyeol must be  confessing to someone right now and they must have accepted because Chanyeol wasn't someone you couldn't like. Frowning even more at the thought of Chanyeol most likely being on a date with the other, Jongdae threw away his half full coffee, suddenly losing his interest in it. Now in a dampened mood, Jongdae tried not to sulk as he wandered around aimlessly. He yelped as a large hand grabbed him by the arm and spun him around. Being pulled into a bone crushing hug, Jongdae couldn't look up at the offender who was currently clutching him.

"Jongdae, I need to tell you something," the familiar deep voice rumbled through the chest of the giant crushing him. "Well...more like give you something."

Pulling away from the hug, Chanyeol sheepishly shoved an envelope into Jongdae's hand before shoving the black box full of old letters into the latter's chest.

"Wha-" Jongdae began before realizing Chanyeol had already disappeared.

--

Sitting anxiously on his bed, Chanyeol bit his lips. It's been a week since he handed Jongdae the letters and he hasn't heard a reply since. Being a do-now-think-later type of person, Chanyeol hated waiting and so the past week had been excruciatingly painful. He wanted Jongdae to hurry up and reply but he worried for rejection. A sudden knock on his door had Chanyeol jumping up before cautiously walking to his door. Taking a deep breath, he opened it carefully to reveal the source of his worries, blushing while carefully clutching the box, opened envelope on top of it.

"You're stupid," Jongdae mumbled, causing Chanyeol to fear for the worst.

Dropping the box and envelope, Jongdae lunged forward, hugging Chanyeol while burying his face into the latter's face out of embarrassment. Dumbstruck, Chanyeol just hugged Jongdae back absently. Standing on his tiptoes, Jongdae leaned upwards and pressed his lips against Chanyeol's now grinning lips in a sweet, chaste kiss.

"I like you too," Jongdae blushed.
