After a moment, Baekhyun says, “Yeah.” The crickets start then, quiet at first, but melding into one long, loud chirp that has Baekhyun pausing to think about what to say next. “It's him, and our whole friendship, and everything. It's not as easy as you think.”
“Trust me, I know.” Sehun looks toward Jongin, then at Baekhyun, and says, “But it's your last year, just-”
“I know, I was planning to some time this week, but you-you kind of, um,” Baekhyun says, and Sehun blinks, then laughs.
“Oh, sorry,” he says, and Baekhyun laughs, too, uncurling himself around Sehun and forgetting for a moment about the pressure, the worry, the heartache, everything that had made him not-himself this week, leaning on Jongin's back quietly as they rode the jet-ski together instead of whooping and shouting and cat-calling all the way to the ocean, declining when Jongin offered to sneak them into the bar together instead of going with his ridiculous little tricks that always seem to work, and, to top it off, snapping at Sehun instead of welcoming him into their house like he would've in any other situation. Jongin hadn't said anything about it. Sehun pushes him toward the back door and says, “Try it. You never know.”
“But-”
“You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't,” Sehun offers, and Baekhyun sighs because it's true.
The door slides easier than Baekhyun wants it to, and he slips in and stands in front of the television, Jongin first leaning to look past him, then looking up at him, not annoyed, but puzzled. “Baekhyun, how-”
Baekhyun takes the two steps to get to Jongin, kneels onto the couch, straddling Jongin's hips, and kisses him, pressing his hands into Jongin's shoulders. Jongin stiffens, and Baekhyun had come prepared but unprepared for all of this, thinking that it might happen but hoping that it wouldn't. The hope only makes it harder. Jongin stiffens, even lets Baekhyun kiss him for a bit, then pushes back on Baekhyun's chest. It's then when Baekhyun feels every bump in Jongin's skin, every fold in his shorts, every quiver in his hot breath; it's then when Jongin pushes back, harder, until Baekhyun loses his balance and slides off the couch, catching himself before he falls to the floor. When he looks up, Jongin's room door is just closing.

Baekhyun wakes up the next morning, to cloud coverage, cloudy but light-light white-gray, and when he shuffles downstairs, Sehun is already up and sitting at the table, glancing through the activity binder Jongin's parents leave for the guests when they rent the cabin out in the later summer.
“So,” Sehun says, not looking up, “I confessed to you yesterday hoping that we could spend some time together before we leave.”
Baekhyun sighs and runs a hand through his hair, eyes still squinted from the early morning light. “Sehun, can we not-”
“That would make for an awkward couple of days.”
Baekhyun jumps and turns, and Jongin is behind them, a white v-neck twisted over his torso and boxers pulled pulled low over his hips and his eyes squinted, too, and lips puffy, and Baekhyun can't help giving him a pitying smile, flicking his shoulder. “What are you doing up so early-”
“Look, Baekhyun,” Jongin says, his voice thick but oddly serious. “I thought about-about that last night, and I'm willing to give it a try.”
It's cute how unsure Jongin is, and Baekhyun laughs, thinking that maybe they'll call each other a couple times, meet somewhere in the middle, go out, maybe have sex, then break up when they drift apart, maybe leaving their friendship and all their memories behind-but he doesn't have a choice, because it's either now, or later. “Okay.”
“Okay, but we have to include Sehun, too,” Jongin says, and Sehun coughs from behind Baekhyun.
“What?”
Jongin shrugs, stretching his arms up, then tugging his shirt down over his stomach, and, like it's the most natural thing in the world, saying, “Well, you guys are both my friends, so if I like Baekhyun, then I'm supposed to like Sehun, too, right?”
“Jongin,” Sehun says, and Baekhyun turns toward him, “love isn't about logic, it's-”
And Baekhyun pulls Sehun across the table into a kiss, one that has them falling into each others effortlessly, Baekhyun nibbling on Sehun's lower lip and Sehun letting out a quiet groan. Jongin watches them with half-lidded eyes, confusion and lust, and murmurs, “If we can make this work through summer and college and jealousy and hormones, I'll be damn-”
Baekhyun pulls away then, still clutching at the back of Sehun's neck, and looks at Jongin expectantly.
“-grateful,” Jongin finishes and relaxes into a comfortable smile.
And maybe they won't. It's a push of luck, it's a stride, one long step-but a step in the right direction, at least, and if all the pieces fall right, maybe they won't, maybe they won't fall, or they'll fall together. “Go get the bikes, Sehun, we're going for a ride on the beach,” Baekhyun says.
“It's going to rain-”
Jongin grins. “Baekhyun and I have never let rain stop us before, and we're not going to change because of you.”
“I'll wear a white shirt,” Baekhyun adds, and Sehun tells them they're horrible.
“That's no way to thank me,” Jongin says, and Sehun closes his eyes, looks at Jongin.
“Thank you,” he says, the sincerity in it almost heart-wrenching, and Baekhyun feels himself falling already-falling in love again, falling in love but not out of it, falling for someone but leaving no one behind, and he hooks an arm around Sehun's waist, and they make for the beach, a two-minute walk away, just as the rain starts coming down in quiet, warm sheets.

not op, but anon, this is wonderful. i wish i knew who you were so i could track down everything you write. it's just quiet enough that the little bits of hard, sharp emotions stand out even more -- baekhyun's jealousy, sehun's awkwardness, jongin's "my pace" way of doing everything. i love your dialogue and the little details (baekhyun waving his hand in sehun's lap for the popcorn was one of my favorites) and wahhhhh i hope you i find you again elsewhere in the fandom. thank you so much for writing this. *____*
