From the dark side (of the internet) [2/7]
"I don't know what you were doing the whole day and what you are doing right now, but I am officially weirded out by your smile."
Baekhyun blurted out of the blue while he was preparing to go to sleep, his eyes focusing on the figure lying down on the bed beside his. He just came back from his most successful meet-up with his crush as of date, having scored a peck to his cheek before they parted ways. Giddy and feeling his heart pumping violently in his chest, he entered his shared room with Chanyeol, planning to tell his bestfriend everything that happened to him this day. That was when he found Chanyeol smiling creepily into his phone. The smile has never left his bestfriend's face the whole night (even if he told him his stories for the day, he feels like the smile his bestfriend is giving is for an entirely different reason).
His voice broke Chanyeol out from whatever he was doing, the taller blinking at Baekhyun's direction like he doesn't recognize him for a few seconds. It seems like Chanyeol wasn't even remotely aware of Baekhyun's presence, and that piqued the shorter's interest despite his desire to not know whatever it is that makes Chanyeol look like a creep.
"Please Baek." Chanyeol rolls his eyes playfully, followed by an exaggerated display of wiggling eyebrows. "My smile is the most handsome smile that your eyes can lay upon in this world." A short span of silence followed before a groan ripped out of Baekhyun's throat, accompanied by Chanyeol's laugh that echoed in the room. Baekhyun plopped onto his bed, rolling the blankets around him and closed his eyes. Leave it to his bestfriend to be narcissistic as heck. "Whatever Yeol, Good Night."
Laughing to himself, Chanyeol sent one last message on his phone before he placed it on his bedside table so he can sleep. There are classes tomorrow after all.

Had a great day talking to you. :D
Here's the alternate e-mail I was talking about, please do contact me here so we can be internet buddies. :D
Good Night. ;)

Jongin stared at the message with a small smile on his face. He has no choice but to admit that he had fun talking to the guy, and he has no problems with the extended e-mail contact. The only downfall of this is that Luhan didn't waste any time in teasing him about enjoying talking to someone that is actually from a porn chatting site all day. He can't forget the way his roommate, Lay, stared at him when he overheard the conversation and on how his face slowly processed the information once Jongin explained the situation to him back in their room with flailing arms. Once Lay nodded and smiled at him with a thumbs up, Jongin deflated with relief, having saved his image that was almost destroyed by his partner's always-talking mouth.
He rolled underneath the blankets after he created a brand new e-mail account just for the sake of this internet friendship thing with the guy. He sent his e-mail and yawned. It's time to go to sleep.

Hi. :)
I guess you can guess who I am.
This is my e-mail and you can contact me here anytime.
Have a good day. ^^
=============================
Jongin's alarm started blaring on his pocket and he cursed under his breath. His class ended late and now he is late for his scheduled practice with Luhan after class. God knows how much ranting he will receive for this. Contrary to the older's looks and attitude, he is always serious when it comes to matters of time. Luhan ranting on him and making Jongin buy him dinner the first time he was late proves the point too much that Jongin makes sure he is never late for their appointment ever again. The moment he reached the door of the dance studio, he immediately opened it and barged into the room, bowing down ninety degrees with his eyes closed. He hopes that Luhan will let this go when he sees Jongin looking apologetic and guilty at the same time before he can even start ranting about punctuality and responsibility and make Jongin pay for a ridiculously expensive dinner to compensate for it.
He kept his eyes closed when he heard a small laugh he wasn't expecting to hear. He froze and he swore he felt his knees buckle under him in shock. Slowly straightening his body, his eyes widened at the sight of the person in front of him. His heart pounded in his chest and he felt so close to breaking into cold sweat. He isn't ready for this. He isn't ready to meet the person who he had liked since he stepped foot into the school. He kept staring and staring, until Chanyeol's deep rumbling voice woke him up in his daze, his head jerking up as if a whole bucket of ice water was dumped on it.
"And you said that you were not /that/ cruel to your partner, hyung? Look at the state he is in right now. And he isn't even that late for your practice." The tall, handsome man said as he kept standing in front of Jongin, eyebrows creased in slight worry. Jongin swore in his mind. If Chanyeol keeps looking at him in this close proximity, he is going to spontaneously combust in his spot and die. When Chanyeol stepped away in favor of looking at Luhan who is in the same room as them, Jongin doesn't know if he feels relieved or not. Having the guy he likes being that close to him is something he always dreamed of anyway.
"I wasn't! Really." Luhan said and rolled his eyes, looking like he is too tired of the conversation that is happening. He got his hands up in the air and Jongin almost melted when he heard Chanyeol's laugh. That laugh had always made him feel so full inside, and it makes his day when he hears it even if Chanyeol is in the far away table in the cafeteria.
A loud bang of the door suddenly made him jump on his spot, his body turning to look at a slightly panting Lay leaning on the doorframe. Jongin then praised the heavens that something had saved him from becoming a pile of undecipherable goo on the floor. He placed his hand on his rapidly beating heart, his eyes moving as a wheezing Chanyeol caught his attention, looking like someone just startled the shit out of him. Jongin can't help but chuckle a bit. For a giant, Chanyeol is too damn adorable.
"Hyuuuuuung." The deep-voiced student whined. "Don't do that again. I thought someone just went in the studio and started firing a gun or something." Luhan rolled his eyes at that, before he looked at the figure by the door, his right hand resting on his hip. "What brings you here?" he said, a smile etched on his face. Lay gave a friendly smile at that and he shook his head a bit. "Nothing of importance really. I just wanted to confirm that Chanyeol will really help us with our recital."
Jongin's eyes widened as he gaped, seeing as Chanyeol's head bobbed up and down, giving an affirmative on what Lay had said. "He'll help us with our dance?" Before he managed to stop himself, the phrase had already moved out of his mouth.
With the sudden outburst, Luhan laughed out loud, shaking his head frantically. "Chanyeol will never be able to help us with that Jongin-ah. He can't dance to save his life." The tallest one snorted but made no attempt to deny what Luhan stated. "He'll just help us with some of the music that we chose, and also since we decided that you're going to perform a solo performance on a piano piece, Chanyeol figured that it'll be more exciting if the background music is played live." Jongin almost made a choked noise on the back of his throat at the last sentence, but he managed to stop himself at the last minute.
That doesn't mean that he didn't let out a squeaky voice when he asked Chanyeol though. "You're going to play.. while i'm dancing?" Mistaking his voice change as an effect of nervousness, Chanyeol patted him good-naturedly on the head. Jongin cursed at the back of his mind when he saw Luhan raising an eyebrow when his ears turned red in 0.5 seconds. "Don't be afraid, i'm not going to insult you on dancing or something." Chanyeol sent a smile on his way and Jongin fisted the end of his shirt with one hand in an attempt to stop himself from squealing. He made a shy smile instead and then nodded, biting his lips when the hand patting him is gone, he's already missing the contact.
The conversation ended abruptly at that because Chanyeol's phone suddenly rang, making the tall man's eyes widen comically "Oh shit. I forgot that I promised Baekhyun that I will help him with his.. err.. mission for today." he mumbled out loud, his hand taking his hand out of his pocket. He answered his incoming call and winced. Jongin can swear that he can hear the voice of the person talking on the other end of the line even if the phone isn't in loud speaker.
Jongin watched as Chanyeol blabbered on the phone while occasionally wincing at the loud voice of the caller. "Yes yes. I'll be there. 10 minutes tops! I'm sorry, okay!" the deep voice boomed inside the dance studio. Jongin thinks that his ears might have undergone some kind of orgasm as he heard it. With a wave, Chanyeol ran out of the room, not even bothering to close the door behind him. Jongin realized with a start that Lay isn't standing on his place by the door anymore. He didn't even see him walking away.
==============================
Jongin groaned out loud as he slightly stretched his back while walking to his dorm. The gruelling practice ended late and he wants nothing more than to relax under a hot shower. He was distracted by thoughts of Chanyeol playing piano beside him as he danced, makimg him unable to focus completely on his practice. Luhan seemed to notice that something was off because he kept making weird expressions as he watches Jongin dance. In the end, the older just sighed and told Jongin to rest and put his mind at peace. Luhan has these precise intuition sometimes, and it makes Jongin wonder how Luhan is born a boy and not a girl.
Once he reached his room, he opened the door and plopped on his bed heavily, his eyes threatening to close. Not wanting to sleep in his state, he forced himself to stand up with a groan. He was about to walk towards the shower when he heard his phone ring once, indicating that he has a text to look at. He grabbed it and looked at the message, a small smile creeping on his face.

Hi hi hi hi hi :D Guess what happened to me today? :DDD
His fingers were hovering on the reply button when he realized that there are two other messages besides the first one he read.

I saw the person I like today. :DDD And he's so cute I wanted to just hug him and tell him he's adorable.
But I can't do that of course. u.u I don't want to ruin his impression of me.

It must be weird that i'm suddenly telling you these things. :D Haha.
I just don't know who to tell these because my friends will just go and tease me about it. u.u
I'm a really obvious guy you see, so i'm pretty sure that when i'm teased, i wouldn't be able to deny my feelings.
So i'm telling these to you. :D Cause you wouldn't be able to tease me in real life. :P
Jongin stared at the last message for a few seconds before he started laughing. It was so cute and adorable that he can't help but just laugh at it, his head moving from side to side. He pressed the reply button this time and started typing. He figured that he can tell his internet buddy about his own crush because, like the other, he wouldn't be able to tease Jongin in real life.
Once he sent the reply, he grabbed his towel and walked towards the bathroom. For a hot shower he goes.
=============================
Chanyeol's fingers stopped hovering on top of his electric piano's keys when his phone vibrated on his desk. He's already back in his dorm room and Baekhyun is inside the bathroom, singing on the top of his lungs like his life depended on it. It's a miracle that Chanyeol managed to hear his phone above the noise reverberating inside their room.
He opened the e-mail he received then grinned widely to himself. He's starting to thank Sehun from the bottom of his heart for that link he sent him yesterday. This internet buddy thing seems to be working really good for him.

It's okay. :) I understand what you mean in your last message because i'm trying to find someone who I can talk to about these things as well. ^^
You're not the only lucky person in this day though. :P I saw the person I like as well in an unexpected place. I swear that I look like an awkward being the whole time cause I was so tense in front of him. Haha... .... ...
(*the dots mean that the message is a lot longer than what was typed. >.>*)
The message was a bit long and Chanyeol grinned to himself as he read it. His internet buddy was surprisingly talkative when it came to the guy he likes and it was interesting.
He was halfway into the text when he felt a hand smacking on his head. He almost faceplanted into his piano keys.
"You've got that weird smile on your face again Park Chanyeol. Stop creeping me out."
