Well, that was fast.

Just one day after SM Entertainment confirmed to the media that EXO member Do Kyungsoo, 24, was expecting a baby with fellow labelmate Lee Taemin, 23, the couple stepped out onstage in Seoul last night where Kyungsoo revealed a tiny but visible baby bump.

Taemin and Kyungsoo performed with respective groups as apart of SMTOWN Live World Tour V.

At the end of the concert, Taemin kept it simple wearing casual jeans, sneakers while Kyungsoo wore a similar outfit; including a t-shirt that showed off his growing baby bump proudly.

According to fans that observed the couple last night– the pair seemed be extremely happy and that Kyungsoo was practically “glowing”.… (click here to read the rest of the article)

Kyungsoo sighed to himself as he read the article on his screen for the umpteenth time. It was both his and Taemin’s decision to finally go public with the pregnancy, but now he was having second thoughts.

Since they had begun dating casually the year before, Kyungsoo’s life had changed dramatically. They had always been in each other’s lives, (Jongin had pushed them together backstage too many times to count) but once they began “dating” Kyungsoo’s appearance in the public eye as well gossip sites increased noticeably.

Kyungsoo usually liked to keep a low profile. He never went out of his way to be photographed. He never wore outrageous outfits at the airport.

But Kyungsoo got his first taste of what it felt like to be embroiled in an honest to god scandal the day after pictures of him leaving Taemin's apartment were posted online.

Kyungsoo smirked as he recalled the slightly disheveled images of himself leaving Taemin apartment. His hair a mess, lovebites scattered all across his neck and collarbone.

All K-Pop, Dispatch, and Soompi had a field day. PR wanted to downplay the whole situation as just a drunken one-night stand, but when more pictures of Kyungsoo and Taemin (who were spotted riding around in his car almost a few hours later) were leaked to the press, it was evident that that this was more than a fling.

 

It had started out innocently enough. Whenever they both weren’t on tour or busy doing proper pop star things, Kyungsoo would visit Taemin at his apartment and they would proceed to on every surface of the apartment until they were both left with bruises on their hips.

 But somewhere between casual hook-ups on Taemin's kitchen floor and the frantic kisses exchanged backstage at award shows, things changed.

They found themselves spending more time together. They were still very much in a ual relationship perceptibly, but the was no longer what connected them. Taemin didn’t mind holding Kyungsoo's hand when they laid in bed together, and Kyungsoo wasn’t completely put-off by the small puddle of drool Taemin left on his shirts whenever he slept with his head on Kyungsoo's stomach.

 

Out of all the guys that Kyungsoo had been involved with, he thinks that Taemin just might be the most exhilarating. Taemin was full of limitless energy and he was never too shy or afraid to try things that may have been out of his comfort zone.

 

That’s something this baby is definitely going to inherit from both of its parents, Kyungsoo thought to himself. Courage.

 

How Taemin sometimes managed to thrill him by a simple kiss on the forehead was a mystery.

 

The shift from part-time lovers to an actual relationship wasn’t a surprise to anybody but Kyungsoo himself, but eventually he learned to just shrug his shoulders and roll with the punches. Taemin had taught him that it was easier to just go with the flow than to waste time trying to justify anything.

 

“I’m with you; you’re with me, yeah? Why question it?” Taemin had once told him.

 

Of course once Taemin had managed to make himself a mainstay in his life that meant that the rest of the SHINee boys became more permanent fixtures in his life as well.

 

Kyungsoo had always been friendly with the SHINee boys to begin with. They had all bonded over pizza and beer on more than occasion, but once Kyungsoo officially became Taemin’s boyfriend, he found himself growing closer to the other boys.

 

Minho, when he wasn’t on holiday with his girlfriend or filming for his latest K-Drama, was the one Kyungsoo caused the most mischief with. He was always down for a good prank, and he always took the blame in situation that had gone too far. (i.e. that time they dared Junmyeon into eating month-old yogurt and he had to be rushed to the hospital due to food poisoning)

 

Jinki was the one whom he found himself to have grown the closest to. Upon the announcement that Jinki and Sunyoung were together (and had been for a long, long time), Taemin and Kyungsoo were often the ones who Jinki would come and talk to when Jonghyun was busy or when Kibum managed to disappear like he always did.

 

Taemin had made it clear that he wanted all of the people he loved to love each other, and Kyungsoo found himself being showered in brotherly affection from the other SHINee members.

 

Another thing that made Taemin so different from the rest was his ability to keep Kyungsoo on his toes.

 

Kyungsoo couldn’t help but smile as he recalled the time when Taemin had whisked them off to Jeju island (his favorite place in the world) on a surprise trip.

 

SM had no idea what to make of their union and wanted to use their relationship for possible promo. They wanted to exploit them, but Taemin and Kyungsoo had made it clear that what they shared was to be kept private.

 

There was of course the sasaeng-filled trips to tea shops where the couple would be photographed holding hands, but they managed to stay under the radar for the most part.

 

That is, until Kyungsoo found out that he was pregnant.

 

If he was being honest, Kyungsoo wasn’t all that surprised when he found out that he carrying Taemin's child.

 

They would have two, sometimes three times a day, and a was usually the last things that was on their minds.

 

Kyungsoo had tried to hide it for as long as he could. Not because he was afraid, but because he didn’t want anybody knowing about it until he figured what he wanted to do about the situation.

 

However, he quickly realized that keeping it a secret was stupid as hell. Kyungsoo had never been any good at keeping secrets.

 

Twelve weeks to the day that he found out he was having his boyfriend's baby, Kyungsoo dropped the load on him, no pun intened.

 

After spending nearly an hour locked in their bathroom (they had moved in together a month before) contemplating what he should do about the situation at hand he took a deep breath, unlocked the door, and marched into the living room where Taemin was currently seated with a sandwich in his hand.

 

Without a word, Kyungsoo stared him in the eye and pulled up the hem of his sweatshirt until a small bump was visible.

 

Taemin arched his eyebrow questioningly before his eyes landed on Kyungsoo's stomach and all of the blood rushed from his face.

 

The sandwich laid forgotten on the plate next to him, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly before he finally spoke.

 

"You-," Taemin began, nervously. "You’re pregnant?"

"Yeah…" Kyungsoo trailed off as he began to fidget. He was trying his hardest to look at anything but Taemin.

 

The pattern on the rug by kitchen. That ridiculous-looking ashtray Sehun had given to Taemin as a gift even though Taemin had rarely smoked as it is.

"Wow," Taemin said, placing his hand on the barely round stomach. "I did that?"

Kyungsoo snapped out of his reverie and looked at him, placing his hand on top of Taemin's, and smiled.

 

So maybe things were going to be okay. They were young and constantly making mistakes (and in an industry that made it ingenuously clear that your career came before everything) but they were doing it together and as cliché as it may have sounded, that’s all that really mattered.

 

Kyungsoo shut his laptop softly as he continued to ponder to himself.

 

Just as he was about to bring his hand towards his stomach to give it a good rub, his phone began to vibrate; notifying him that he had a new text message.

 

Quickly unlocking the phone, he skimmed the screen until his eyes landed on the newest message.

He smiled.
