It’s an accident. Chanyeol can feel the stone dropping in his stomach and the panic rising at the back of his throat as soon as it happens. Jongin’s eyes are wet when he pulls away from him and the entire band is standing completely still.
The fan girls are screaming and screaming, but Chanyeol can hear nothing but static, because the warmth in Jongin’s eyes are gone replaced by something that seems too close to death for someone who was so alive just a second ago.
Joonmyun’s eyes are boring holes in his head and there’s a large hand pulling him away from Jongin by his collar and soon Chanyeol’s standing beside a very unamused Yifan. There’s a nervous laugh bubbling out from him and soon he’s doubled over, laughing till he cries with tears that won’t stop running. Jongin’s not even remotely looking at him, entire body turned away from him leaning onto Luhan and Joonmyun.
Chanyeol feels his heart drop and then the stage light goes out, a ‘technical error’ they say. That they have to cancel the rest of the concert completely aware that no one buys it. He’s not listening because not even in the dark does Jongin acknowledge him.

Sikyung’s scolding and yelling falls on deaf ears as Chanyeol watches Jongin follow Sehun into his car instead of going home to their shared apartment with Chanyeol.

It’s all over the news next morning and Chanyeol’s eyes can’t stop looking at the pictures and shaky videos of them.

Idols in a Controversial Scandal
There’s a fancam in HD embedded in all of the internet articles. It’s from their last talk session and the fans are chanting ‘kiss kiss’ some of the members have joined in as well, after he confessed his undying love for Jongin. It’s the usual I’m Kai’s Fan act that he’s been keeping up for years, something that had started out as a joke between roommates but when they got together it was the only way for Chanyeol to express how much he really cared about Jongin without it being suspect.
The chant always comes and usually they just hug, except that one time where Chanyeol was feeling courageous and he pecked Jongin’s cheek. The fandom had been in uproar for weeks, but this time when he strode towards Jongin something in his brain clicked and after pulling the younger into his arms he leaned down and kissed him like he does behind closed doors, supporting Jongin as he leans into it.
“I love you, will you marry me?” Slipped out when he pulled back and then the screaming had started, rising in volume just like the way Jongin’s eyes slowly shut him out.

Jongin avoids him for days even while they’re under house arrest while the company and the other members are doing damage control. “It was a stupid dare made drunkenly, just a dare that went too far.” Is what they’re all saying but no one is letting the couple talk and they, the couple, don’t talk.
Their condo has never been quieter and Chanyeol lives for the seconds when Jongin walks by him on his way to the toilet or kitchen. He tries talking to Jongin, voice filling the deafening silence but only to fall and fade away when Jongin just walks away, his eyes dead and withdrawn.
There’s been no response to anything he does, there’s been no rage except the one from Sikyung and Chanyeol wishes Jongin would just do something, anything.

It’s been a week when Kyungsoo lets himself in, code memorised for emergencies, quick efficient steps and then he’s punching Chanyeol straight in the jaw. It fucking hurts and Chanyeol starts to throw a fist back but stops himself because Kyungsoo’s not glaring at him anymore. Just staring dejectedly at his face, eyes large and unwavering but filled with so many conflicting emotions.
“You’re a fucking idiot.” He mutters at last before slumping down onto the couch and pulls his knees up to his chest. “You put us all in jeopardy, you put Jongin in jeopardy.” It’s so soft and if Chanyeol wasn’t accustomed to it, he wouldn’t have heard it.
“Are you mad at me?” He asks instead, rubbing his jaw, stubble harsh against his fingers. That punch will bruise that’s for sure. Kyungsoo just looks at him, conflict in his eyes apparent and they sit like that for a long while before Kyungsoo shakes his head.
“No, I’m angry at the society for making me become mad at you. I’m angry at myself for thinking what you did was wrong. I’m angry at a lot of things right now but not you. ”
“Jongin is though.” Chanyeol says and stares longingly at the shut door to Jongin’s room. He misses kissing his boyfriend, misses touching him, misses seeing him smile, he misses him.
“No he’s not. Trust me. Even though he might not talk he’s finally discovered long messages.” Kyungsoo sighs resignedly. “He’s just really conflicted.”

Chanyeol cooks dinner that evening and leaves out a plate to Jongin.
It’s gone the next morning.

Jongin starts to talk to him again two weeks into their house arrest, it’s just a simple ‘good morning’ but Chanyeol feels tears gather in his eyes after having to retort to old interviews to hear Jongin’s voice. His own voice cracks from sentimentality when he greets the younger back and it earns him a little smile.
“Hi.” The younger says and it’s all it takes before Chanyeol has him wrapped up in his arms, clinging on tight to broad shoulders and a back he’s so familiar with it’s almost laughable. Taking a big breath, he breathes in Jongin’s spicy scent with relief of finally getting to be with his boyfriend.
“Missed you so much.” He mutters into the crook of Jongin’s neck, not letting him go only pulling him tighter as if trying to merge their bodies together. “I’m so sorry, I’ll never do anything like that again.”
Chanyeol doesn’t know how much time passes with them just standing and breathing in each other when Jongin’s voice, raw and small, whispers. “Yes.”
He clears his voice and distances himself a bit from Chanyeol who’s looking at him confused. “Yes, I’ll marry you.”
There’s a blush on his cheeks and even though Chanyeol’s turning thirty in a few months there’s a tickling feeling of delight making him squirm and soon there’s a happy laugh spilling over his lips before he kisses Jongin hard and savouring.
The society can go fuck themselves, he has a fiancé now.
