Baekhyun/Chanyeol/Chen/D.O (hints of various pairings)
PG, ~2.3k.
'92 line looking for love, or: Kyungsoo teaches them how to make their own chocolate. (chinguline genderswap drabble)
"Kyungsoo-yah," Chanyeol wheedles.
"Kyungsoo," Baekhyun sighs.
"Kyung-" Jongdae jumps, forgetting to flutter her eyelashes when Kyungsoo drops her math textbook on the table.
"What." Kyungsoo eyeballs the three of them, each leaning on the back of a chair and flanking one side of her desk.
"You know what," Chanyeol whines, sticking out her bottom lip and shaking her shoulders a little. Her ponytail bounces against her back, the loose curls around her ears tickling her puffy cheeks. She lifts her eyes, mournful and round, and Baekhyun plants a foot in her side.
"Aegyo that makes you want to punch." Baekhyun shrugs apologetically, flipping her sleek hair over her shoulder. Chanyeol, fallen from her chair with one knee on the floor and her other leg hooked across the seat, gives Baekhyun the finger and tries to swing back upright.
"Nice panties," Jongdae teases.
"They'd look nicer on your floor," Chanyeol says breezily, and bangs her elbows down in front of Kyungsoo. "Kyungsoo! I'm going to get straight to the point. It's Valentine's Day tomorrow. Let's talk business."
"Me first," Jongdae pipes up. Chanyeol's hand makes its way under Jongdae's chin, chipped green nails digging behind her jaw, and Jongdae continues, slightly hoarse: "Me second."
"Me first," Baekhyun agrees smoothly. "Kyungsoo, my friend."
Kyungsoo clears her throat and holds up a small white hand. "Let me preempt the rest of this caterwauling and let me say: I'm not making chocolates for any of you."
"You always make them for Jongin," Chanyeol says darkly.
Kyungsoo gives her a look. "That's because Jongin asks nicely. He likes my chocolates-"
"You think I don't like your chocolate?" Chanyeol yelps.
"-and he doesn't want them just so he can give them to someone else." Kyungsoo finishes archly.
Both Chanyeol and Baekhyun open their mouths, but Kyungsoo is saved from another round of begging when the teacher enters the classroom. Reluctantly, Chanyeol turns around in her seat and Baekhyun scoots back behind her own desk. Jongdae lingers a moment, tapping her blunt fingers on the edge of Kyungsoo's Pororo pencil case.
"I'm not good at baking," Jongdae admits, eyes downcast. "And it's just... well, Joonmyun-oppa has been working so hard lately, I want to thank him for it." Her lips curl, making her look like a sheepish kitten.
Kyungsoo flips to the correct chapter in her textbook and tests the lead in her mechanical pencil. "Okay," she allows, and Jongdae grins, patting her forearm in thanks and sliding away just before the teacher finishes writing the day's lecture topic on the board.
Baekhyun scrunches up a scrap of paper and tosses it behind Kyungsoo's back onto Jongdae's lap. After a discreet glance at the teacher, Jongdae pries the note open with her fingernails and smooths it out over her thighs.
giving your valentine to mr. vice prez???
Jongdae's lips quirk, this time without an ounce of shyness. She catches Baekhyun's eye and twists a short strand of hair around her index finger, mouthing with arched brows, Not exclusively, and Baekhyun hides her giggle in her palm.
As soon as math period ends, Chanyeol hooks her arm around Kyungsoo's neck and refuses to let go, clamping Kyungsoo to her side the entire way to the gym. Kyungsoo's face remains impassive, even after she trips Chanyeol over the threshold of the changing room and darts away to the far wall.
"All I want is love," Chanyeol says piteously, hugging her knees to her chest and making puppy faces at anyone unfortunate to make eye contact.
"I'm pretty sure half the boys at school have been waiting to hear those words," Kyungsoo says as she undoes the last button on her blouse and shucks it off. "Take your pick."
"They don't want me for love," Chanyeol sniffs, and reaches out with one socked foot to prod Kyungsoo in the ass beneath her skirt. Kyungsoo puts her hands on her bare waist and scowls.
"Wow." Baekhyun closes one eye and frames Kyungsoo's generous cleavage and dotted blue bra between her manicured fingers. "Hey Jongdae, how much do you think the oppas in the upper class would pay to see what we're looking at now?"
There's a camera click, and Jongdae lowers her phone. "Dunno," she says, opening a new text message, "but Jongin's gonna tell me how much he'll pay in a second."
"I'll poison your chocolate," Kyungsoo threatens.
"I'll wipe the puke from my mouth with Jonginnie's won," Jongdae says with relish.
"C-cups and handmade chocolates." Chanyeol has stripped off her blouse and is cupping her own modest breasts. "Kyungsoo, you have it all."
"Nah, Kris likes the tall skinny type." Kyungsoo steps out of her skirt and tugs the uniform gym pants over her round thighs.
"Says who," demands Baekhyun, whipping around with her gym shirt only half pulled down, the pink lace of her bra peeking out. Jongdae discreetly takes another picture.
"Really?" Chanyeol stops mid-squeeze and perks up.
"Girls," Jongdae cuts in before Baekhyun can start stepping on Chanyeol's toes. She looks meaningfully at both of them, then turns to Kyungsoo. "Okay but really, says who?"
Kyungsoo snorts and zips up her gym jacket. She tugs her hair out of its pigtails and combs her fingers through the curls a few times before neatly braiding it over her shoulder in a single plait. "No one," she says when she's finished, heading out the door. "I just made that up."
Chanyeol and Baekhyun spend the entirety of phys ed class nagging: first at Kyungsoo, and then, when that doesn't work, at Kyungsoo through the boys in their class.
"Ah, I wish I could give out delicious homemade chocolate." Baekhyun twists her slender fingers into the fabric above her heart, and then watches with satisfaction as two more classmates moon their way over to plead with Kyungsoo.
At the end of the period, Kyungsoo comes up to her and Chanyeol, looking harried. "Come over at nine and you'll get your damn chocolate," she says, and stomps away to follow the rest of their class back inside while Chanyeol whoops and hipchecks Baekhyun.
Chanyeol arrives at Kyungsoo's house last, kicking off her canvas lace-ups by the door and bowing at the waist when she passes Kyungsoo's mother. She ducks again to Kyungsoo's older brother on the way to the kitchen, and winks.
"Stop," Kyungsoo says, sounding disgusted. "Baekhyun's bad enough, don't give my brother ideas."
"What are you talking about," Chanyeol asks, but she's wiggling her eyebrows and leaning over the table to exchange high fives with Baekhyun. She dumps her shoulder bag on a chair and holds her hands out expectantly.
Jongdae glances up from her phone and shakes her head. She's perched on the kitchen counter with her legs crossed, changed out of her school uniform into a loose print tee tucked behind the belt buckle of her skinny jeans. "Kyungsoo's going to kick you out."
Chanyeol looks puzzled, but Kyungsoo just bypasses her open hands and goes for Chanyeol's bag. She crouches, sticking her mixing spoon under her arm, and rummages through the contents until she's fishing out Chanyeol's wallet and tucking a 10,000 won bill into the pocket of her apron.
"Hey!"
"Cost of ingredients," Kyungsoo says simply, pointing the spoon at Chanyeol. "I'm not making the chocolates for you. I'm going to make them, and if you want to follow along and make your own, that's fine."
Chanyeol looks at Baekhyun. Baekhyun just shrugs like what can you do?, tugging the tops of her mustard knit socks up around her thighs.
Kyungsoo still has an eyebrow raised, and after a moment, Chanyeol opens her arms, shoulders relaxed. "Okay, okay! That sounds fun." She beams with full enthusiasm. "You're the best, Kyungsoo."
Kyungsoo roll her eyes, her cheeks pinking a little. "Tie up your hair, Chanyeol-ah."
Chanyeol nods, snapping a lime-coloured elastic from her wrist and gathering her bright hair in a messy knot. She makes a show of pushing the rolled sleeves of her chambray button-up past her elbows and gives Kyungsoo a double thumbs-up. "What's next?"
Thirty minutes later finds all four of them lined up before the kitchen counter, spooning melted chocolate into molding trays with expressions of deep concentration.
"That looks great," Kyungsoo says. Chanyeol blinks roundly at her, a piece of hair stuck to her glossy bottom lip, and Kyungsoo carefully picks it away, patting Chanyeol's cheek. "Who are you giving these to?"
"I know who Baekhyun's giving them to," Chanyeol says, nudging Baekhyun with her hip.
Jongdae snorts. "Everyone know who Baekhyun's giving them to."
"You guys think you're so clever," Baekhyun scoffs. "Everyone gives Kris chocolates, you two included." She bites her lip and tilts her tray, trying to coax the chocolate to run into the corners of the molds.
"Don't worry," Kyungsoo says. "I'm sure he'll still notice you."
"Hey." Chanyeol and Jongdae frown simultaneously, and Baekhyun laughs even though she's blushing.
"You're my favourite, Kyungsoo," Baekhyun tells her, sliding her leg around Chanyeol's bare calves to tickle the back of Kyungsoo's knee.
"Nuh-uh, Kyungsoo's my favourite." Chanyeol nudges Baekhyun again, harder this time. "You only like her because she's not competition." She sighs. "So faithful, Kyungsoo-yah."
Kyungsoo whaps Chanyeol's knuckles with her spoon, leaving a splatter of chocolate. "Jongin and I aren't like that. He just appreciates my food a lot."
"Oh, Kyungsoo." Jongdae shakes her head. "Cute as a snowflake, and just as cold. Poor Jonginnie."
Chanyeol wipes the chocolate on the back of her hand over her mouth, and smacks Kyungsoo on the cheek before Kyungsoo can retort. "Photo op!" She cheers, and poses with her chocolate-smeared lips puckered against the chocolate kiss mark on Kyungsoo's unamused face. Jongdae dutifully takes a picture. Chanyeol bares her teeth and licks Kyungsoo's cheek clean with one big tongue swipe afterwards, making Kyungsoo wrinkle her nose and giggle.
Jongdae makes sure to take a picture of that too. "You're so dumb," she says.
Chanyeol licks her own mouth clean with a sound of accomplishment. She counts the chocolates on her tray and grins. "Hey, what if I give Zitao chocolates?"
Baekhyun elbows her. "Don't be mean. Besides, he'll misinterpret it and try to talk to you again."
Chanyeol divides under her breath. "Kris, Joonmyun, Sehun, Minseok... I'll have enough left over," she decides. "Lucky Tao."
Baekhyun makes a face and turns her back on Chanyeol. "You're giving them to everyone, right?" She asks Jongdae. "How is Joonmyun-oppa going to know he's special?"
"What do you mean by special." Jongdae intently prods her chocolates with the end of her spoon, marking them with small dents. "Anyway, Yixing-oppa, Lu Han-oppa... it'd be mean to leave anyone out."
"I know it's hard being popular." Baekhyun says sympathetically. "But you have to be tough on matters of the heart, Jongdae."
"What if you leave Joonmyun out," Chanyeol suggests. "Then he'll definitely feel special."
"This is why you're single," Kyungsoo says with dismay.
"No I'm serious," Chanyeol insists. "He'll agonize and be forced to confront you, it'll totally be like a drama."
"More like smile and quietly bleed on the inside." Baekhyun says, and Jongdae looks torn between amusement and alarm.
"That's also like a drama," Chanyeol agrees.
"Basically," Jongdae interrupts. "Nothing will happen if I give him Valentine's candy, and nothing will happen if I don't." She marks a dent in one of the chocolates with particular force. "Oppa is useless."
"At least he's useless because you're also uselessly subtle," Baekhyun says. "I joined Kris's council committee so I could try and sit on his lap during meetings but every time he just concedes the seat like some dumbass from the Joseon dynasty." She gives Chanyeol a disdainful look. "Fighting you for Kris would be more exciting if it wasn't like fighting over empty air."
Chanyeol drops her spoon and slides a companionable arm around Baekhyun's waist, hooking her thumb in the waist of Baekhyun's skirt. "That's why I'm telling you we should wrestle," she says, stroking a finger over Baekhyun's hipbone and grinning with delight when Baekhyun squirms. Baekhyun stomps on Chanyeol's foot twice, then knees her in the thigh when that proves ineffective.
"I hope your oppas don't wise up." Kyungsoo looks fondly at Chanyeol and Baekhyun, slouching over the counter with her chin propped in her hand. "People get so busy when they date. I like spending our time together."
"You just charged each of us 10,000 won to spend time together," Jongdae points out.
They clean up after the chocolates have been set aside to cool, collecting dishes to soak in the sink. Baekhyun and Jongdae are waltzing to 'Bangkok City', which turns into Jongdae trying to keep up with Baekhyun's perfectly memorized choreography when the track segues to Infinite's latest single. Kyungsoo grabs Chanyeol by the waist to keep her still. "Don't break something again," she tells Chanyeol, and hands her the mixing bowl as consolation. "You can eat the leftovers if you want."
Chanyeol immediately scoops two fingers through the remains of the bowl and sucks them into her mouth. "Mmmm," she tries to say, then dips them again and holds her hand out to Kyungsoo.
"You just licked those fingers."
"I'm completely sanitary," Chanyeol protests. Kyungsoo pushes Chanyeol's arm away, only to have Baekhyun grab it by the wrist from behind.
"Mmmm." Baekhyun echoes, flicking her tongue over the web between Chanyeol's fingers.
"That tickles." Chanyeol squirms through her giggles, but still manages to flash a peace sign with her other hand when Jongdae takes aim and snaps a photo of Baekhyun's pink lips wrapped around Chanyeol's fingertips.
"Okay, you're a serious pervert," Baekhyun informs her.
"I'm a serious businesswoman," Jongdae says, wagging her phone. "Limited Valentine's edition photoset, guess how many pre-orders I've got."
"Really?" Baekhyun drops Chanyeol's hand, looking interested. "How much are you charging?"
"Depends," Jongdae shrugs. "How cooperative are you guys gonna be?"
Chanyeol and Baekhyun exchange looks, grins teasing at the corners of their mouths.
"Well," Kyungsoo says, untying the strings of her apron. "How big of a cut are you going to give us?"
