Falling for Femme Do Kyungsoo- Twenty-Five
You really shouldn't be here, because this is getting way out of hand.
Best friends, Kyungsoo discovers, bring you down to reality when you least expect, but need it.
"So, out with it, what's going on?" Kai jostles his room mate for the second time while he is pouring the milk in the kitchen.
"What is what?" Kyungsoo replies, devoid of the usual miff at the younger not addressing him properly, focusing instead on buttering the toast before him and pondering whether you take your bread with jam or butter.
"You are smiling when buttering a bread, for goodness sake. That ass of a smile hasn't left your face ever since Monday. So what happened? Did you meet that girl again?"
The Teleporter appears beside him in a poof, grabbing a piece of buttered toast before disappearing back to the couch.
The elder only throws him a dirty glare before resuming buttering another piece for himself.
"She's not just that girl. And yes, I went out with her."
The very thought of you smears a smile on his face again.
"So what happened? Did you guys get it on or something?" The Teleporter mumbles, mouth busy and full with food.
"You are such a dick, Jongin. And no... We only went for bubble tea and I walked her home." The elder answers flatly and bites into his bread.
"Well, at least girls like my dick, at the pace you are going, you'll still be a virgin at the age of 40 and since you are a Super and probably gets to live longer, maybe a 400 year old virgin?!"
The Teleporter hoots at his own joke while Kyungsoo calculates how much the repairs will cost if he is to smash his room mate to the ground right this second, but decides it isn't worth it.
"Seriously," The younger continues through breathless gasps. "Something must have happened to make our hyung behave like that, something that happened at her home...?"
He quirks an eyebrow and Kyungsoo knows the interrogation will go on forever if he doesn't explain. He huffs.
"I didn't go into her dorm ok! But alright, we've kissed, that's all, it's not even a long kiss or anything, just a peck and-- "
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold up! You mean to tell me our Mr Do Kyungsoo just kissed somebody and is probably on his way to not becoming the last virgin of the century and wow, this calls for a celebration. I gotta tell Sehun about it." The younger teleports and is back on the couch with his handphone, texting furiously.
"Don't make it sound like such a big deal, Jongin." Kyungsoo lies because the flush still creeps up his neck even as he thinks about it. "Besides, she probably thinks I'm a girl..."
"Wait." The Teleporter's fingers freeze in the middle of messaging. "You mean to say she still doesn't know you are a guy?"
"Well that... Not exactly." The elder mutters sheepishly as he takes another bite at the toast.
"So for all you know she might be thinking you are a girl and kissing you because she's a... lesbian?" The younger suggests incredulously.
"I haven't really... thought of it that way." Kyungsoo frowns for the first time that morning.
"Then you probably should, 'cos what if she's really into girls and then finds out you are a guy, a guy with an actual dick and I hate to remind you but hyung, she's not even a typical girl, she's a Super. A Super with a vendetta? That just sounds like plain suicide for me. The last girl I had is a Shapeshifter like you and when we broke up, she morphed into a freaking snake and coiled and squeezed the living daylights out of me for ten freaking minutes before somebody found and saved me."
Kyungsoo thinks about his conscious frying up and concludes it isn't exactly pleasant. He shudders.
"So, what do you propose I should do?" He shifts uncomfortably.
"Tell her you made a mistake or something, that you are thinking of someone else when you kissed her."
"What?! But isn't that still lying?"
"Yeah, but until you figure out which way she swings or admits who you really are, that's really the safest option."
It doesn't make any damn sense but Jongin is never one for logic, and love, in Kyungsoo's opinion, is illogical. So he hums and continues eating, the toast suddenly feeling too dry and brittle in his mouth.
________________
You've told Kyungsoo that Chanyeol has ball practice today and probably won't be turning up so he doesn't need to pick you up after school. (The truth is Chanyeol hasn't been turning up for the past few days anyway, but you are afraid Kyungsoo is perhaps tired of the regime)
But you really feel like seeing him, telling yourself that you have to do something to return the huge favor he has done you all this while.
After finishing early at class, you return to the dorm to make some quick kimbap for snacks. Making sure that he's at the dorm, you arrive at the building at half past five, planning to give him a surprise.
Unlike S.M. where the dorms are separated into two buildings, one for female and the other for male occupants, EXO has one single huge building, black and white, clean and futuristic-looking housing all students.
You ring up the intercom, waiting for five seconds before you hear a deep, male voice answering.
"Hello?"
"Hello, I'm looking for erm... Soo Jin? This is ______ "
"_________ ?!"
You hear a static crackling and after a few seconds, a slightly more alert voice emits from the device.
"W-What are you doing here?"
You recognise that it's Kyungsoo. Why is she in her male's form?
"I.. er... brought you some snacks... Are you... available now?"
You are starting to worry whether this surprise is all too frivolous.
"Oh, ok, sure! Just... Give me a second..."
After a short while, he comes back again.
"Can you... Wait like five minutes before I open the gate for you? Cos I'm like... In the middle of something now."
"Sure! Erm.. Actually if you are busy I can come back another time you know..."
"No, no! It's ok, I'm not busy, but just give me five minutes I'll be done, 'k?"
"Y-Yeah... Ok."
You grip the box of kimbap closer to you as you wait.
____________________
Oh God...
Kyungsoo runs around the dorm throwing things (mostly Jongin's) into a trash bag, anything that will give away that this is a dorm housing two guys.
Photos, dirty clothings... shoes... More clothings (why are they all over the place when he just cleaned it up yesterday? That stupid Jongin)... When he is done sprinting, he grabs a can of air freshener and sprays generously across the entire house, trying to mask any visible scents.
At opening the door, the sight of you looking fresh and chic in a white blouse and khaki culottes makes him giddy with happiness, yet the fear of you finding out causes him to twitch nervously inside.
"Did you just... clean the house? It smells really fresh."
"Erm... Is it? Do you... wanna come in first?"
You follow his gesture, then holding up a white and blue lunchbox, chirps lightly.
"I brought kimbap, I hope you are hungry?"
"I could always do with some food." He smiles as he takes over the box. "Thanks."
"Why are you... " You give him a once-over.
Damn!
In his haste just now, he forgot to morph into his female form.
"Er... I was practicing just now. Do you... need me to switch?"
"No, no... It's ok. You look fine like that."
_______________
You groan inwardly.
Why is she in her male form? It's not helping the palpitations you are trying to calm in your chest.
And what is it with the yellow hoodie? It makes him look too cute and hug-gable.
You really shouldn't be here, because this is getting way out of hand.
