They both stoped walking and faced each other.

The dusk had already crept up the canyon, the cold balmy spring air fanning them, the soft cooing of birds being a background music for their mood.

"Thank you Baekhyun." Chanyeol smiled softly at him, staring at him oh so lovingly.

"I enjoyed your company, Yeol." Baek smiled back, his ravishing, hypnotic black orbs almost turning Crescents.

"I'm honoured then. Now you should go inside, Baek."

Chanyeol walked closer to him, gazing down at his twinkling black orbs.
He cascaded down to his eye level, as he grabbed him gently by his shoulder.
He started decreasing the gap by moving closer to his face which made the latter closed his eyes shut, expecting the latter to peck his lips.

Baekhyun felt his warm breath fanning his lips and he shut his eyes tighter as his fingers curled, cluching his pant waiting for it but Chanyeol tilted his head and pecked the corner of his lips softly like the touch of silk on his skin then his ear, nibbling his earlobe which send a shiver coursed down his spine.

"Can you feel it Baek?" He whispered and moved back, gazing at him with heart eyes again, waiting for his reply.

"I'm not sure what's it. But it makes my heart flutter." He whispered back, making the latter cracked a wide smile, as his eyes twitched hearing the latter's words, a deep elusive dimple decorating his cheeks.

"Uhm-then bye." With that Baekhyun rushed inside his house, directly to his room and jumped on his bed, patting his chest where his heart was thumping loudly against his ribs as if trying to break free.

"Calm down Baekhyun." He kept whispering to himself.

Chanyeol laugh softly at his cute action and started walking away.

Unbeknownst to them, a pair of eyes witnessed these, with a satisfied grin lingering on his face.
"The more you fall in love, the more you suffer; the more you suffer, the more I enjoy." He whispered.

_______

Baekhyun threw himself on his bed squealing softly.
He can still feel the warmth of latter lips on his cheeks, the kiss was so soft and full of love and warmth, which made his heart and stomach flutter at the same time and flush crept up his neck, warming his cheeks as he  remembered their closeness.

He kinda expected the latter to kiss him on lips, he wanted to know how his lips would feel against his, how it feels to be in the latter's arms, how will those muscly biceps felt under his fingertips.

He knew that he likes him already but wasn't sure about the latter's feelings.

But he didn't knew why he felt like the latter was somehow familiar yet so unfamiliar, like he saw him before, those striking almond-shaped acorn brown orbs were so familiar to him, but he couldn't remember where and when he saw those.

"HYUNG, LET'S GO!" Jaemin's voice boomed through the house shattering its usual silence.

"Just a minute." Lay replied looking at his own reflection in the mirror for the nth time.

"No more." He rolled his eyes, pulled his brother with him.

Lay has been changing his hairstyles since an hour, to look better in the eyes of his mate but he would deny it whenever Jaemin would inquired.

"Why are you with your books though?" He asked confused.

"I'm going to study with Myeon tonight." He replied, cheeks adorned with a tint of pink.

He was a bit shy to be with Suho alone in a room, not that he is complaining, he surely is more than happy and thankful to his brain for the idea.

"As if he won't sleep tonight?" He scoffed, but he was happy for his brother, he never saw his brother smiling so wide except when he was with him, let alone the blushing.

"He loves late night studies." He said confidently.

"Looks like you know many things about him." Jaemin smiled softly at him. "Afterall he is your mate-"

"Nana." But his words were cut off by Lay's stern voice, as he zipped his mouth instantly, pressing his lips together forming a thin line.

And he started pulling him again, happily, a wide smile dancing across his lips as he remembered his mate, too excited to meet him again.

At Suho's house

Entering the house, Jaemin skipped happily inside the house, leaving his brother alone who stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do next.

"Oh you came?" A soft voice made him turn towards the source.

"As you can see." Lay smiled at him, checking the latter from his hairs to toes, who was wearing a cute pajama which had printed bunnies all over it, which made him look cuter.

"Oh, and can we study together after dinner?" He asked showing the latter his books.

Suho smiled at him and nodded accepting his offer. He was too shy to open his mouth and reply, cause he knows that if he does, he will end up shuttering and embarrassing himself, which he don't want.

**

"Where are they? If they don't come, I will end up devouring all these." Jeno asked Jaemin who was sitting by his side.

"Let me call them." Jaemin replied. He took a deep breath dramatically, like those cartoon characters, who prepare themselves for screaming. "HYUNG! THE FOOD IS GETTING COLD!" He screamed at the top of his lungs making Jeno snapped his ears close tightly.

"Babe I will really appreciate if you scream under me, but not now." Jeno smirked looking at his mate's flushed face.

**

After dinner Jeno signalled Lay to follow him, he knew what's coming for him and he was so ready for it.

Lay asked Suho to wait for him, as he excused himself and he followed the latter to his room.

"Long time no see." Jeno started the conversation as soon as they entered not forgetting to close the door after them.

"Are you sure it's long time?" Lay asked as he raised a brow at him, an amused smile plastered on his face.

"I caught you spying on us once." He smirked playfully.

"Whatever just get straight to the point."

"You are no fun." Lay heard Jeno whispered but he ignored it, he can deal with a kid later.

"Ok so you know, you will have to face the consequences if you chose this but the other option has it's consequences too. Either way, you are doomed."

"I'm well aware of it." Lay sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"But I don't even know, if that was true or just a trick only to scare us."

"I don't care about that, but please don't drag my brother to your hell."

"I'm not dragging him." Lay clenched his fists, tightening his jaw, his eyes glowed red flashing a warning, making the latter step back a little which he couldn't notice. But somehow he knew that he is doing that.

"But you are hurting him." Jeno rasped through gritted teeth as he stared right into the latter's eyes as if challenging him, he need to show that he isn't agitated by it.

"I'm helpless too." The latter's words made him guiltier, but he still kept on reminding himself that, he doing the best.

Aren't you a coward if you run away from your problems? Or will it be considered as you just need time to solve it? Either way he can't deny that he is running away from it, rather than facing it.

"Your situation is too bizzare to even comprehend." Jeno replied as-a-matter-of-factly. "And you are only one who can solve it. I can just help you." He added.

"But I'm trying right." Lay defended, which the latter ignored and changed the topic.

"And about Jaemin, I think you already know why I did that right? Because I wanted you to meet my brother, I knew that you both are mates. Just don't make me regret it. I don't owe any further explanation."

"I know and I trust you with my brother." Lay smiled at him.

"But I don't." With that Jeno pushed him out of his room and slammed his door shut, not before calling Jaemin.

"You okay? Did my brother said something?" Suho asked as soon he saw the latter being kicked out of his brother's room.

"Your brother said many things." He thought.
"No it's nothing." He replied.

"Then follow me." He followed Suho to his room.

His room was slightly bigger than Jeno's with sound proof walls.
The floor was decorated with white marble.
Walls painted white with a few baby blue abstract pattern.
A fogged glass partition separating his bedroom and washroom, a queen sized bed in the middle, a desk at one end of the room which was made up of rare dark organic wood.

The whole room smelled like him, the very vanilla scent he got addicted to.

While Suho was not comfortable with the latter sitting so close to him as he thought the latter can hear his loud heart beats, which the latter did actually.

"Your scent will always be my weakness and you wear it as if you are trying to astray me from my true course. But weren't you my destination? So does it mean you redirected me?"
