The Feel-Good Hit of the Summer

Description

The awkward silence stretches indefinitely, coextensive with her uneven heartbeat. "Well," says Baekhyun casually, "looks like the wrong member got into the right scandal." (Or: this is what her math teacher taught her back in high school; a triangle is the most stable of all geometric shapes.)

 

 

 

[kpop] [iu; baekhyun/iu/chanyeol, exo ensemble, suzy, taeyeon, jiyeon] [oneshot]

Note: This is fictionally set in the real idol-life of these individuals and thus includes some real things that have happened in the kpop world [i.e. not an AU].

EXCERPT: 

She understands- more than understands- really, viscerally, horrifically gets everything with an almost painful clarity when Junghyun oppa lands on her doorstep within the next two hours, with what looks like an eleven volume collection of the Constitution, but is really just a print-out of various articles that he must have painstakingly downloaded off the internet, because he's actually the most thorough person she's yet come across... and he clearly doesn't get the archival concept of the internet.

Long story long: she's apparently dating Baekhyun. As in EXO's Baekhyun. As in EXO's '92-line mood-maker Baekhyun. As in crazy-sasaeng-magnet Baekhyun. As in Taeyeon unni's ex Baekhyun.

Long story short: she's kind of screwed.

"That's not Baekhyun," she begins desperately, pointing at the single grainy photograph that graces the left, middle and right columns of most of the articles. "Baekhyun-ssi," she amends, for propriety's sake. "That's just some guy who asked for an autograph."

Junghyun oppa only shakes his head in disappointment like she's being deliberately obtuse, and she knows that look: it doesn't matter what is, it just matters what it looks like. And it looks like she's Byun Baekhyun's shirt and pulling him closer. And it's even more weird, because she knows it's not Baekhyun, but he... actually does look like Baekhyun; that vague, niggling familiarity she'd first felt on seeing the guy concretizing into a much too belated oh, that's who you reminded me of.

Foreword

This is my first foray into actual k-pop fandom (because I've stuck to dramas till now, and WGM once), so I'm actually really nervous about this fic, because I had been super-convinced I could never ever ever write k-pop fic since there are too many intricacies. But seriously, what is this? WHY IS THIS SO LONG? WHY CAN I SUDDENLY NOT WRITE BELOW 10000+ WORDS? WTF EVEN? All I can say is that it started as Baek/IU and then Chanyeol took over, and it turned into Chan/Baek/IU and a bunch of background some Exo ships and basically an unholy mess, and uh, sorry, I guess? :s I tried to keep to a timeline but it got messed up because I obv first had to break Tae/Baek up but I kept current events as they stand in current times (sorry Baekyeon fans, fanfiction is cruel, but at least RL is working out for you guys.) Also fun fact, apparently the guy in IU's Good Day is also called Baekhyun. Also Junghyun = Manager/Chipmunk Oppa.

 

I already feel like writing more Exo, this is a nightmare.

Chapter 2: This was so good! I know you said you're not interested in a sequel but I'd definitely support if you do decide to do one! Also seems like your fic was somewhat of a premonition! LOL. Indeed, the truth is always stranger than fiction!

Chapter 2: I read this story some time ago and I still go back to it every once in a while, it's really good. Other than the fact it features two of my favorites (super ultimate iu bias and I probably ship her with the ground she walks on, or basically anyone she interacts with) it's a brilliant fic. Knowing that you've got other possible fics of this pairing gets me so hyped! I can't wait to read more gems by you, I sure hope you get to share them here. /cheers for more baekxiu in the future
