Beautiful Butterfly Chap. 6







Title: Beautiful Butterfly

Pairing: Kaisoo

Genre: Romance, Fluff, Smut, Drama, Semi-Angst, Age switch

Summary: Because sometimes, all Jongin has to do is just following the clumsy Kyungsoo and lets the boy breaks the ignorant demeanor he has. Just like when he sees a butterfly. Just stares and follows, and it will show you its beauty and gracefulness.

















Chapter 6




Kyungsoo stares at the ceiling on his room, watching the prickled paint. It’s not dinner time yet so Kyungsoo is lazing around in his bed, waiting for the right time to prepare dinner before Minseokhyung comes back.



“Because that person is me. I’m the one who sent you that letter, Soo.”



He blushes and grits his teeth, slamming his pillow against the covers.

“It’s Chan...!”

There’s a smile on his face yet Kyungsoo can’t describe what he is feeling right now. His chest feels full yet there’s an empty hole inside it. He feels happy yet he is not.



“...chan?”

“I’m your secret admirer, Soo. I’m the one who wrote that.” Chanyeol admits, fingers scratching the back of his head. Kyungsoo grips onto his bag and gulps down his saliva.

“How- I mean, why?”

Chanyeol looks like he is about to cry from his innocent question. “Why? Because I like you, Soo! Gee!”
Kyungsoo shifts and glances away. Chanyeol’s stare feels like burning him. He clears his throat and steals a glance at the tall boy before directing his gaze away again.

“I... don’t know you have... a crush on me?” He whispers softly, not really knowing on how to react on things like this. Well, he has been confessing for this whole life, so when someone else is confessing to him, it’s kind of new.

“Of course you don’t. You have never paid any attention to me,” Chanyeol mutters, playing with his baseball cap. He sighs, rubbing his face with his palms.

“How long, Chan?” Kyungsoo dares himself to ask. It’s curiosity.

“Three years. Ever since I saw you talked to Sehun at that entrance ceremony.” Chanyeol mutters, tone dreamy and he seems to remember the sight. He smiles at the air and Kyungsoo gulps, feeling his face reddens.

“I don’t know what to say...”

“You can say ‘let’s date’?” Chanyeol tries to joke to break the awkward atmosphere. Kyungsoo cracks a smile and stares at the tall boy.

“How do you write those cheesy lines? As far as I know, you are not that passionate, Chan.” Kyungsoo teases, suddenly curious at the romantic lines. Chanyeol has this blush on his cheeks and he huffs.

“I read Sehun’s poem collection in his room. And I wrote them down.”

Kyungsoo breaks into a laugh and hits the tall boy on his shoulder. “No wonder Sehun knows them! You scare me! I thought it’s really Sehun! I almost ask him about that!”

Chanyeol grins at him and stares intently into his eyes. “Do you not like it? That it’s not Sehun? That it’s me?”

Stopping his laughter, Kyungsoo sighs softly, glancing at the kite flying on the sky. “No. That’s not what I mean. I feel... relieved, actually. Because it’s you and nobody else.”

At Chanyeol’s smile, Kyungsoo feels happy. Chanyeol looks sincere and he is a very good boy.

“Soo,” Chanyeol speaks, scooting close to him, leaning to his personal space. Kyungsoo blinks his eyes.

“What?”

“Do you want to try it with me?”




“Soo...?”

Minseok hyung’s voice stops him from his trance and Kyungsoo scrambles downstairs. He greets his brother and glances at the clock, cursing in his mind for forgetting to prepare the dinner.

“Shit, sorry, hyung, I forgot the dinner! Let me just make something simple,” he scrambles into the kitchen and begins to grab everything he could find. Minseok stands by the kitchen doorway and stares questioningly at his brother. It’s not Kyungsoo to forget something so important as dinner time, because as long as he knows, Kyungsoo will always say to never skip meals.

“Soo? You okay?”

Kyungsoo jolts and nods his head. “Y-Yeah, why shouldn’t I? Anyway, hyung, go change and sit down first,”

Minseok nods his head even though Kyungsoo is not looking at him before walking towards his room to change out of his suit. He settles on a loose shirt and sweatpants, before dragging himself back to the kitchen and sits by the kitchen counter, watching his little brother stirring something in the pan.

“How’s work, hyung?” Kyungsoo asks. Minseok arches his eyebrow. He knows Kyungsoo loves him but it’s a rare thing for his brother to ask him about his work day. It only means, Kyungsoo is distracted with something and he is trying to hide it. Minseok is going to find out.

“Good, just like usual. Hey, Soo, are you sure you are okay?”

Kyungsoo turns off the stove and scoops the well-stirred kimchi friend rice into the plates, pushing one into Minseok’s face before grabbing the other one and sits down beside him on the counter. Looks like the dining table is not being used tonight.

“I am, hyung. Dig in!”

Minseok nods, eating the meal and stealing some glances at his brother who seems to be distracted again. He has enough of this and as soon as he swallows everything in his mouth, he grabs the glass of water and drinks the bile down.

“Kyungsoo, tell me whatever it is.”

The young boy seems to be busted and he sends Minseok one small grin. “I really can’t escape you, can’t I, hyung?”

Minseok taps his fingers against the counter. Kyungsoo sighs and pushes his plate away.

“Hyung, I... uh,”

“Is there something wrong? Did you get into a fight?”

“What? No!” Kyungsoo looks offended and he manages a small pout on his lips. Minseok furrows his eyebrows and hums.

“Then what is it?”

Kyungsoo fiddles with his fingers and glances away. “I... Don’t freak out, okay? Promise me?”

At Minseok’s nod, Kyungsoo continues, “I have... found the person who... sent me the letter.”

Minseok spits the kimchi away and coughs. Kyungsoo winces and stares at the condition of his kitchen, thinking on how to tell his brother to clean it after this.

“You did? Who was it? Someone you know? Someone new?” Minseok asks while wiping his mouth clean. Kyungsoo drops his spoon and twists his body to face Minseok. He gulps and grabs his brother’s hand, squeezing it.

“Hyung, don’t freak out again, okay? I still love my kitchen.” He whines. Minseok sends him an apologetic grin and nods his head. He watches Kyungsoo takes a deep breath before muttering:

“It’s Chan.”

Minseok freezes, brain failing to work and he blinks his eyes. “...who’s that?”

Kyungsoo whines and shakes his hand childishly. “Chan! Chanyeol! Park Chanyeol!”

“...that tall Chanyeol?” Minseok whispers carefully, trying to imagine the picture of the young boy who is way taller than he himself. He still couldn’t get over that fact though.

At Kyungsoo’s nod, Minseok takes a deep breath before gaping like a fish. “You sure, Soo?”

“Yeah. He told me himself,” Kyungsoo looks down, playing with Minseok’s fingers. His brother seems to take this on the hard way and Kyungsoo can’t even imagine how Minseok’s response will be when he tells him the rest of the story.

“How?Since when? Why?” Minseok asks, feeling overprotective to imagine that Chanyeol has been targeting his brother for all this time. And he is clueless! God!

“He said it has been three years. I don’t know even a bit about it, hyung!” Kyungsoo mutters, staring into his brother’s eyes. Minseok seems to have already collected his soul back and he pats his brother’s head. Kyungsoo waits for his response.

“Then what do you think about it, Soo?” He asks softly. Kyungsoo scoots close to him and buries his face to Minseok’s shoulder.

“He asked me out, hyung.” He whispers.

“And what did you say to him?” Minseok’s tone has softened and he hugs his brother closer. Kyungsoo cuddles to him. “I said yes.”

Minseok stills and stares at the top of Kyungsoo’s head. “Soo? How about Jongin?” He questions carefully, feeling Kyungsoo tenses. Minseok spreads his fist on Kyungsoo’s back, rubbing it up and down. He feels Kyungsoo takes a shaky breathe before muttering softly.

“Can we not talk about him, hyung?”

It takes Minseok blinks in surprise. This is the first time Kyungsoo doesn’t want to talk about Jongin. There really is something between the two of them.

“Do you want to tell me now? About what happened between you two?” He asks gently, hugging Kyungsoo closer to tell him that he is there for him. Kyungsoo shakes his head ‘no’, before murmuring: “Let’s just say he hates me now.”

Minseok chuckles at his answer. Jongin would never be able to hate him. Never.

“Alright, we are not going to talk about him. Why don’t we finish and then we can talk in bed?” Minseok suggests. Kyungsoo sends him a thankful smile before pecking his cheek.

“Love you, hyung.”

On the next day at school, Sehun notices the awkward tension between his two friends and he talks about it to them.

“So, spit it out. What’s wrong with you two?” He grumbles like an old man. Kyungsoo steals a quick glance at Chanyeol who is blatantly staring at him.

When no one is answering his question, Sehun puts on his bitch-face and taps his fingers on the desk, ignoring his sandwich for a moment. “No one?”

Chanyeol clears his throat and answers, “I ask Kyungsoo out.”

Kyungsoo feels his eyes are about to pop out at the blunt sentence. He stares at Sehun, waiting for his friend’s response and to his surprise; Sehun seems to deflate back to his boring self and lets out a bored ‘oh’.

“Wait, wait! You are not surprised?” Kyungsoo asks. Sehun sends him a stare that says ‘do-I-look-like-I-am-surprised-to-you’ and scoffs.

“Please. I have known this for years.”

“You know?” Kyungsoo shrieks, glancing from Chanyeol to Sehun, then back to him and back again. He feels dizzy with that. Chanyeol sends him an apologetic grin.

“You know what, Soo? Chanyeol is not being so discreet about his crush on you. It doesn’t take a genius to know that.” Sehun speaks, followed by a round of rolling eyes. Kyungsoo blushes and hits Sehun’s arm.

“Ouw! What was that for?”

“Why don’t you tell me?” Kyungsoo mutters through gritted teeth. Sehun gives him one disbelief look and towers over him. “Why should I tell you about someone else’s feeling?”

Well, that’s right. Why would he?

“Uh,” Kyungsoo glances away before cursing inwardly. Sehun directs his attention from him to Chanyeol and asks, “What did he say then?”

“We are having a date soon.” Chanyeol answers, a bit too happily.

“Are you boyfriends then?” Sehun questions, motioning with his index fingers. Kyungsoo’s eyes bulge out and he shakes his head.

“Not yet. We are going out but we are not boyfriends... yet.” Chanyeol explains. Sehun hums and taps his fingers on his chin, seems like thinking and all that wise. “I wish for the best for you, children.” He speaks, lowering his voice to act like a big man and Kyungsoo snorts at him.

“You don’t have to act old, Sehun! You are like an old man for real!” He scoffs, laughing softly. Sehun gives him a stinky glare and glances away, arms crossed in front of his chest while muttering, ‘I’m not talking to you!’

Kyungsoo barely stops himself from laughing when he feels warmth getting closer to his side before an innocent peck is planted on his cheek. He blinks and stares at Chanyeol who is blushing madly, eyes looking expectant at him.

“You look the best when you smile, Soo.”

Kyungsoo might go squealing and all if not for Sehun who scoffs and mutters, “Right, just leave me alone and go flirt, you two.”

Chanyeol pats his head, telling Sehun to stop being a baby or he won’t be able to find a girlfriend or boyfriend. Kyungsoo feels warm on his face and he bends his head down, a palm touching his cheek and he feels just how fast his heart is.

He feels fluttering in his stomach, but not as much as the simplest things Jongin hyung has done.

A/N: No Jongin yet, because we need to focus on Chansoo a bit. lol
So, we will have Chansoo date in the next chapter (I have a feeling Jongin will be making an appearance there but just ignore me), and a bit Minseok-Jongin moment as well.
Hope you can contain whatever feeling you are having right now until the next chapter XD

Anyway,
