“So tell me, hyung, how did you do it?” Sehun asks through a mouthful of food. Truth be told, he couldn’t care less. Maybe it just felt like the right thing to ask someone like Chanyeol. Someone who can’t care less about the others around him, until he gets what he wants.
Maybe Chanyeol is just that type of friend.
“Which ‘it’ are you referring to?”
“You know what I’m talking about. How did you, you know, get your way this time with Jongin?”
“I didn’t do anything,” Chanyeol grins, “It’s just the way things are.”
“You hurt him.”
“I didn’t—he loves me.”
“You hurt Kyungsoo hyung. He’s one of your closest friends, and you still chose to hurt him.”
Chanyeol laughs for a moment, a laugh slightly uncalled for, tittering on the line of smug and perhaps a very tiny amount of guilt. “There was nothing I could do about it. Jongin chose—“
“Chose? Perhaps to you, it may seem like he picked you,” Sehun places his chopsticks aside, “But that was never the case.”
“No, you don’t get it. Jongin loves me, and I love him. There’s nothing more right in this.”
“You don’t get it do you, hyung? You hurt people. That’s what you do. You hurt them and then you drop them, like it was never your problem to begin with. You don’t even only hurt people, you wreck everything around them. You’re a wrecker. It’s sick, hyung, it’s sick but it’s you. That’s who you are. But I can’t say I’m tired of your frustrating actions and just leave you, because that’s who I am. I don’t leave. I don’t disappoint.”
Sehun doesn’t know why he still bothers. Chanyeol never changes. It sickens him, but he doesn’t have a choice. He hurt one of their own friends this time. Maybe it isn’t just about what Chanyeol did that irks him, maybe, it’s about what he didn’t do that hurt him even more.
Two steps before Sehun walks out of the dining hall, “But maybe this time, you’ve disappointed one too many.”

“Jong…in?”
A loud thud resonates through the dance studio, one that sounds even louder in Kyungsoo’s head.
“Hyung, I—“
“Why?” Kyungsoo feels his face go red. He doesn’t really understand why. Isn’t it only logical that he feels sad, betrayed, instead of mad? Isn’t that what a normal person would feel, seeing his boyfriend sucking the face off someone else?”
Jongin doesn’t have an answer.
“How long have you been fucking each other?”
Chanyeol smirks this time, albeit still recovering a little from the surprise entrance, “Longer than expected.”
Kyungsoo feels his nails dig into the bed of his palms. Maybe he is a little more than angry.
“Jongin-ah, why? Why didn’t you just break up with me? I—I even let you take me last week,” Kyungsoo chokes on the last word, “I let you take everything. I gave…everything…”
And after twenty seconds of piercing silence, all that came was an ‘I’m sorry’ and the shuffling of feet.
Kyungsoo still doesn’t understand. Jongin, the little brother he has loved almost his entire life, and Chanyeol, the good friend and confidante to both of them.
It takes a few silent steps and a pair of long arms to wrap around him for him to jump a little, “Hyung, I’m sorry. I’m sorry about everything,”
It isn’t the voice Kyungsoo’s hoping for.
“You don’t have to be sorry about anything. It isn’t your fault, it isn’t—“
“I know, but I could have kept him better. I could have done something.”
The two sit in the middle of the studio, with Sehun’s arms tightly wrapped around Kyungsoo’s tiny frame. No one moves.
It is two minutes into the silence that Kyungsoo questions himself as to why there is hot liquid spilling out of his eyes, and in that same two minutes, Sehun, too, finds himself holding back tears. Maybe, he thinks, it’s because of Kyungsoo. He admits, he’s a crybaby, he can’t stand seeing other people cry.
Or maybe, it’s because he thinks he has failed in being a friend, both to Chanyeol and Kyungsoo.
Maybe, because I could have made him love me.
BUAHAHAHAHA THIS WAS TOTALLY FUN TO WRITE NO HATE TO CHANYEOL I MEAN I LOVE THAT KID BUT HE’S GETTING IN BETWEEN MY OTP I JUST HAD TO. INTRODUCING THE FAMILY WRECKER AKA PARK CHANYEOL. \O/
and if it isn’t obvious enough, the top half happens before the bottom half.
Chanyeol finds himself losing to his own memories.
