Author's Notes: This is a birthday present for nikipiyoko! Happy (belated) birthday! I’m really sorry if this is not the kind of angst you wanted and if the ending is weird! The title is really weird too, but yeah. Hope you like it anyway! :D
It was just like any other day, just like any other filming. However, this was the first time Kiseop was asked when his first kiss was.
"I haven't had one." Kiseop smiled, shaking his head before puckering his lips as an afterthought "Who would want to take my first?"
"Wah, fans would go crazy." The host chuckled. "Next, Kibum-ssi?"
Kiseop knew the truth, though recently (to avoid the trouble of explaining), Kibum doesn't say it anymore. It was an accident, with Kevin. Sure, it was an accident, but Kiseop heard it from Alexander that it was a planned accident. That Kevin fell for it (literally), and Kibum went to cushion his fall. Kibum never thought their lips would land so perfectly on each other's.
"Soohyun-ssi?" The host smiled, waiting for his reply.
"I never had one." Soohyun then guiltily chuckled. "Why do I feel so guilty? I never had one."
"Ey, hyung!" Dongho rolled his eyes. "Speak the truth!"
"Okay! It was...second year of high school, with a girl-"
"Of course it's with a girl, you mean it's with a dog?" Kibum laughed at his own joke, causing Kevin to laugh his own higher pitch one and Alexander to do his exaggerated one. Eli chuckled a little, Dongho just hit Kibum's shoulder playfully.
"Not very funny, hyung." Dongho said cutely, diminishing Kibum's desire to punch Dongho.
Kevin's hand on his thigh was the one that really stopped him, as the younger one whispered softly. "We're on broadcast."
"Okay, okay, what about Alexander-ssi?"
There wasn't any need to listen to the rest of the members, since he knew everyone else's situation except Soohyun. Dongho's first kiss should be with Kevin, since he doesn't have a girlfriend, YET. But he has been waiting eighteen years for a proper kiss. Alexander's still keeping his first kiss, though everyone else except them could tell it's for Eli. Eli had kissed many girls too, but a first kiss with a boy? Saved for Alexander. Kevin and Kibum are each other's first without a doubt, the problem is that there was never a second.
Kiseop sulked. He never dared ask Soohyun about his sexual preference, but this was all he needs to arrive at a conclusion.
Soohyun, like Dongho, is straight.
So before Kiseop falls way too hard, too much in love, he has to turn around and look for someone else. Problem is, there's no one around him that fits him better. Soohyun's the only Blood A person around Kiseop constantly, slowly shaking his heart and causing him to want no one else but Soohyun.
Thus Kiseop started distancing himself from Soohyun, hanging around the person closest to his age, Kibum. Maybe he can learn to plan an accident too, then kiss Soohyun and make him gay.
Or maybe not.
They might end up like Kibum and Kevin. Sometimes awkward, sometimes close.
"So?" Kibum asked after playing numerous battles of StarCraft.
"Soohyun-hyung plays better." Kiseop shrugged a little, gaining a punch on his shoulder. "Ow, what?"
"You lost to me! What do you mean Soohyun-hyung is better?" Kibum sulked cutely, turning to face the computer screen. "Let's play again, we'll play this map, I have confidence to win you amazingly!"
"Kibummie-hyung!" Kevin ran in and looked at the two playing (or about to play) StarCraft. "Oh, you're busy."
Before Kevin stepped out of the room, Kibum bit his lower lip and called out. "Kevin!"
"Hmm?" Kevin turned back and asked, slightly smiling. "It's nothing, you can play your game."
"No, uh, do you want to learn to play? Many artists play StarCraft so you can easily talk to them with this topic..." Kibum lamely explained.
"I can easily talk to them without any topic." Kevin blinked, instinctively replying.
Oh right, Kevin was friendly.
"Oh...then, it's fine." Kibum nodded, turning back to his computer screen with a poker face.
"Kibummie-hyung...?" Kevin said timidly. "You think it's easy to teach me how to play?"
Kibum fought his grin and nodded, though not turning to Kevin. Kiseop decided to leave Kibum and Kevin alone.
So he went to stay around Eli and Alexander. Eli started using him as a substitute (though Kiseop's using Eli as a substitute too), embracing his waist almost constantly. Kiseop never missed the faint hurt flashing across Alexander's eyes, and how the oldest member would drag him away so Eli wouldn't hurt him anymore.
"You like him, a lot." Kiseop commented one day, hugging Alexander. "Hyung, Eli likes you too."
"Nonsense. He likes you." Alexander gave a small smile. "Take care-"
"Hyung." Kiseop rolled his eyes. "I know the best, seriously. We're just using each other as replacement. He wants you, I-I have someone else in mind."
"It's Soohyun, right?" Alexander asked gently, embracing Kiseop as the younger started tearing up. "I don't know what's happening to the both of you, but I'll be here when you need me."
"Alexander." Eli said in his accented English. "There's-"
"Eli, tell Xander-hyung how much you love him." Kiseop said, eyes so intense Eli can't reject.
Alexander threw himself on Eli and coiled his arms round the younger male. Eli brought up his hands and wrapped them around Alexander's slim waist, smiling dumbly.
"His waist is much better, no?" Kiseop smiled, patting both their shoulders as they hugged in silence.
The last choice would be Dongho, so he attached himself to Dongho and became the second target of Kevin's babying.
"Kiseoppie~ did you eat well?" Kevin asked sweetly, pulling Dongho closer. Kibum left his arm around Kevin's shoulder, eyes closed as he tried to get some sleep.
"Yeah." Kiseop smiled, joining Kevin in babying (actually annoying to) Dongho.
But one day, the magnae would have to grow up and find his own girlfriend, finally escaping his hyung-deul (mostly Kevin's) wrath. (Kibum would be hugging the younger boy and telling him it's okay, he can still baby Dongho because Kibum would make that possible.)
Soohyun got annoyed at the distance, though Kiseop thought he never cared.
"What's wrong with you? Or me?" Soohyun sighed, cornering Kiseop.
"Nothing." Kiseop looked away, eyes searching for an escape route.
“Nothing? We barely exchange words! You don’t even greet me anymore.” Soohyun frowned, messing his hair in frustration.
“That’s-That’s fine, isn’t it?” Kiseop clenched his fist and look down at the distance between the both of them as Soohyun blocked his view of anything else outside of their small their circle.
“Is something bothering you? Some issue perhaps? We never had this problem, and no, it isn’t fine.” Soohyun moved closer, and that was all the trigger Kiseop needed to explode.
“I’m bothered by the fact that your first kiss is with a girl! That you aren’t gay like me and you aren’t gay for me!” Kiseop yelled, causing Soohyun to take an involuntary step back. “Fine, avoid me! Be scared of me! Just go away!”
Kiseop pushed Soohyun out of his way and stomped away. However, before he left the room, Soohyun pulled him back by his slim wrist. He kissed the younger male forcefully, though cushioning his head with his hand so Kiseop’s head wasn’t pressed against the concrete wall.
“Well, the first kiss told me that I didn’t like girls.” Soohyun chuckled breathlessly, hand supporting Kiseop’s face. “At least you’re my first kiss.”
“I’m-”
“First kiss with a boy.” Soohyun shrugged. “Kevin goes around saying his first kiss is for his musical when he already kissed Kibum privately and Dongho on national TV. If he can do that, I think I’m allowed to say this.”
Kiseop bit his lower lip, not knowing what to say and wanting to know if this was reality. If Soohyun kissing him was reality. If it wasn’t, he never wanted to wake up again.
“If that was it, you shouldn’t have avoided me. Are you being like a girl that half the band is? Those four idiots that finally got together because you were busy avoiding me?” Soohyun lightly pecked Kiseop’s lips again, smiling as he looked into the other male’s eyes. “You should have told me.”
“Then why didn’t you confess first?” Kiseop pouted. “Why should I be the one to confess first?”
“Because I was fine with us as it was. You wanted something more.” Soohyun teased, nuzzling the other’s nose. “And since you finally confessed, I shall give you what you want.”
Kiseop blushed, hands snaking around Soohyun’s firm body, cuddling closer towards the second source of heat. “I…like you a lot.”
Soohyun hummed a song in reply, and that was all Kiseop needed to know.
“Soohyun-hyung!” Kevin bounced in (dragging Kibum along), quickly covering his eyes as he came to see the scene. “Oops, I ruined something. But why are you singing “Before Yesterday” without me?!”
“Before yesterday, I had to sing it with you.” Soohyun smiled, turning to Kiseop, leaving Kevin with a puzzled expression. “After today, I have the perfect singing partner, and you can sing that with Kibum instead.”
“Huh?” Kevin blinked, not understanding.
Kibum raised his eyebrow and nodded when Soohyun gave him a wink. He pulled Kevin out of the room and kindly closed the door.
“Now, where were we?”
Kiseop laughed, raising his head and covering the distance between the both of them as he shut his eyes tight.

AHAHA. StarCraft again cause I was writing this while writing goodbyethankyou’s fic, so heh. I used it slightly differently here though :P Pst, I don’t think anyone doesn’t understand, but the lyrics to “Before Yesterday” are dominantly “Love you, love you, love you.” so that’s Soohyun’s reply.
