One and Only: An Interview with EXO’s D.O. and Kai
Tumblr media
Author’s note: This is obviously not a real interview, but I wanted to do something to show my love for Jongin and Kyungsoo and all the Kaisooists that I know are hurting these last several days. Hence, this little multimedia project. I apologize for any factual inaccuracies with dates or details. All photos came from google. The interviewer is me, using my pen name. Please enjoy. 
------
By Tariana Adren
My knock on the door of the apartment in a well-to-do neighborhood in Seoul is greeted by a riot of barking, and when the door is opened, I’m nearly mowed down by not one, but five poodles. They dance excitedly around the feet of Kim Jongin, perhaps better known as EXO’s Kai, one ninth of what is quite possibly the biggest Korean pop group currently.  He’s also half of the couple I’m interviewing today. Jongin is very tall, with brown hair that’s a bit shaggy, very broad shoulders, and a dazzling smile. His t-shirt, jeans, and cardigan sweater are a stark contrast to the flashy and sexy costumes he wears on stage. He apologizes for the dogs’ behavior and quickly herds them into another room, shutting the door with an admonition to be quiet. As he leads me into the living room and gestures for me to take a seat in the armchair, the other half of the couple comes into view. Do Kyungsoo (stage name D.O.)  is a small, compact man, his black hair in a sensible, short style. He’s similarly dressed to Jongin, jeans and a chambray shirt, sleeves rolled up and wearing glasses. He’s wiping his hands on a kitchen towel, which he tosses back into the kitchen. He and Jongin sit on the sofa after greetings are exchanged, Jongin’s hand on Kyungsoo’s thigh.
TA: Jongin, Kyungsoo, thank you for talking to me today.
 DKS: You're welcome.
 TA: First, I believe congratulations are in order. You got married about three months ago. How is married life?
 KJI: It's... well, a lot like not being married, honestly. We still have our own schedules and I'm not sure we see each other any more than we used to. And we’ve lived together for a while now so that part isn’t different. But, I mean, it's great. It's nice to finally be official.
 TA: And who brought up the idea of marriage first?
 DKS: Jongin did. He proposed about a year and a half ago.
 KJI: We’d talked about it a few times, but really in the abstract, like “isn’t it nice that gay people can get married in a certain country” not like “let’s do that ourselves someday”.
 DKS: So I was, to say the least, very surprised when he asked me. Still, it took a long time to find a clear place in our schedules and make the arrangements.
 KJI: We’re very busy with EXO schedules, and our individual things. Kyungsoo’s acting career was really taking off around then, and he was busy almost every day with that. And I’ve got my radio show, and… (he laughs) Well, scheduling it was difficult.
TA: I know you met at the entertainment company you work for, but what are your recollections of the first time you met?
Tumblr media
(Jongin and Kyungsoo in 2011, shortly before EXO debuted)
DKS: Oh no! (he laughs) I know Jongin didn’t have the best impression of me. I have bad eyesight and when I don’t wear my glasses, I squint and apparently look a little scary. (he takes off his glasses and demonstrates the look, and Jongin laughs. It is rather intimidating, after all.)
KJI: He looked at me like that, and I decided I didn’t like him. It didn’t take me long to get to know him, though, and soon we were very good friends.
DKS: What I remember is seeing him dance for the first time and being just amazed that one person could have so much talent and emotion. I can do the choreography, but I don’t think I have the feeling that Jongin has.
TA: And how quickly did your feelings for each other change into more than friendship?
KJI: It wasn’t instantaneous. It took about a year and a half, actually. I know, for me, I was still so young, and we were working so hard on getting ready to debut, and the attitude in Korea about gay people wasn’t accepting. It’s still not great, but it’s changing.
DKS: That’s right. I had a lot of… (he appears to struggle for the correct words for a moment) internalized homophobia, I guess you would say. I had to come to terms with not being straight before I could admit my feelings for Jongin. We debuted in March of 2012, and we’d been together a couple of months at that point.
TA: It isn't uncommon for people who work together to get involved, but obviously your situation was different, with you being so much in the public eye. How did you handle that? It’s quite an accomplishment to be together so long. This is what, 7 years?
KJI: We’ve been together 7 years, yes. Wow, when you say it like that, it seems so long, but really it doesn’t seem that way. It’s just been us, working together and living together and being together for all that time.
TA: You’re members of EXO, which is a huge group in terms of number of members. How do the other members feel about your relationship?
DKS: They’ve known since the beginning, since we got together. We had to be honest with them, since our relationship could affect them too. Before we were out, they were great at helping us hide things, running interference if we got too touchy on stage, for example. Now that we’ve gone public, they still support us. Actually, several of them have girlfriends, and Minseok hyung (stage name Xiumin) is married as well. His wife just had a baby.
TA: And your families? Do they support you?
KJI: Yes. I know Kyungsoo’s family had some reservations at first – not about me, just about the situation in general, and how difficult it was going to be to keep a relationship like that quiet. My family didn’t care, as long as I was happy and safe.
TA: You two kept your relationship under wraps for several years, but in my research for this story, I found on the Internet literally hundreds of photos of the two of you gazing adoringly at each other (Jongin covers his face with his hands for a moment, and when he takes them away, I see he is blushing furiously and smiling). Do you think you were really fooling anyone?
Tumblr media
(Kyungsoo giving Jongin one of those looks)
DKS: Probably not. Although we could pass off part of what we were doing in public as skinship, I think in retrospect we were pretty obvious. (interviewer’s note: skinship is a term for on-stage affection, shown between members of a group. This is supported and even encouraged, and fans “ship” certain pairs of idols with each other. Jongin and Kyungsoo’s “ship” is referred to as “Kadi” or “Kaisoo”, for example.)
KJI: I’m sure you found a lot of pictures of me giving Kyungsoo heart eyes, didn’t you? (I admit that I did.) I really couldn’t keep my eyes off him. I still can’t, but at least now I can look all I want without being afraid.
Tumblr media
(Jongin giving Kyungsoo one of those looks. In the background is Zhang Yixing, another member of EXO)
TA: Your relationship has been public knowledge for about a year and a half now. What made you decide to come out at that time?
DKS: Well, we had just gotten engaged, and we decided that we would come out as part of the press events for the album we were getting ready to promote. (interviewer’s note: 2017’s “The War”) Our group leader (interviewer’s note: Kim Junmyeon, stage name Suho, meaning “guardian”) introduced our album as normal, then said that Jongin and I had an announcement. I’m the one who actually said the words first. It was a scary moment.
KJI: I wanted to come out sooner than Kyungsoo did. I think I was just at a place where I wanted all the gossip to stop, and to just be able to look people in the eye and say “this is who I am”. With all the rumors and everything, I think just confirming it directly was the best way to go about it.
Tumblr media
(EXO on the day in question, from left to right, Park Chanyeol, Do Kyungsoo, Kim Jongin, Kim Junmyeon, Kim Jongdae, Kim Minseok, Byun Baekhyun, and Oh Sehun. Missing from the photo is ninth member Zhang Yixing who did not promote with the group for this album)
Tumblr media
(Kyungsoo and Jongin after making the announcement of their relationship)
TA: And if I can ask, you identify as what orientation?
DKS: I’m gay, and Jongin is bisexual. (Kyungsoo looks at Jongin, who nods.)
TA: Do you plan to continue working together?
 KJI: As long as EXO is still going, we’ll be working together, and after that, who knows?
TA: And what was your wedding like?
 KJI: It was small and simple, just the EXO members and our immediate families. We held the ceremony in Hawaii, and it was peaceful and quiet and very pretty.
Tumblr media
(Kyungsoo and Jongin on their wedding day)
TA: I think that's going to be about all I'm going to have space to print. I want to thank you both for taking the time to talk to me today.
 KJI:  It was our pleasure.
 DKS: We were very happy to.
I’m happy to report that I was able to meet and play with the dogs – Meongmul, Huchu, Monggu, Janggu, and Jjangah – who are just as sweet as their owners. I also enjoyed a meal with the two men, prepared by Kyungsoo himself, who has gotten some well-justified attention as being a good cook. I was made to feel completely welcome in their home, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to this lovely couple for giving me a glimpse into their lives together. If all people were able to find a love such as theirs, the world would be a better place indeed.

Runaway [6]
Requested: No
Group/Member: Exo/Baekhyun
Word Count: 3.9k words
Summary: All it takes is being at the wrong place, at the wrong time for you to be dragged back into the world you had tried so hard to leave behind.
Tumblr media
"This is so fucking stupid!" You burst out, pointing angrily at the neatly folded pile of clothes.
"It's necessary." Suho responded absentmindedly, sifting through some paperwork.
"I get being the bait, I really do. I can defend myself, they can defend themselves. But why do I need to be dressed like a goddamn hussy while we do it?" You started out angry, but by the end of your small rant, your voice lilted upwards into a whine. He snickered but otherwise didn't respond, keeping his attention on his work.
The reason you were in his office in the first place was because he had told all of you it was almost time to leave, and yet you two were the only ones in here. Even that was fine with you, despite your not-at-all-hidden dislike for Suho. But then the almighty prick himself had smirked at you, gesturing simply to a pile of clothes sitting on the chair nearest to the door. He had reclined back in his stupid chair, that stupid smirk still on his stupid fucking face-
"This is so fucking stupid." You hissed at him again, snatching the clothing up and quickly heading to the door. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw Suho shaking his head.
The door shut hard behind you, not quite a slam but definitely enough to give another obvious sign of your displeasure. You shouldered the nearest door open and slipped in, kicking it shut and being sure to lock it. You undressed quickly and kicked your discarded clothes into the corner, before turning around to grab the new shirt.
You were pleasently surprised to find an actual shirt. What you had een expecting was some kind of tight, scanty piece of clothing that exposed way too much. What you were holding was tight, yes, but it was actually a pieve of athletic clothing- a dri-fit t-shirt. It was fitting and comfortable, most likely sweat-proof as well. The pants looked like just a normal pair of jeans, but when you picked them up your found that they were actually stretchy. They reminded you of 'jeggings,' the denim-apearing leggings, and the thought made you snicker. You dressed quickly, tucking your shirt into your pants, and then your pants into your socks for good measure. You pulled on the boots (steel-toed, by the way, with a small, cute heel) and tucked the laces in before heading out.
The room you had chosen was only about eight feet or so from Suho's office, so you arrived back in no time at all. But somehow in the time it had taken you to change the other members had all already made their way there, leaving you to be the last to enter.
"Finally, the hussy arrives." Suho called out teasingly as you closed the door behind you. You shot him a withering look, not really appreciating having your words thrown back at you. He snickered, but otherwise left it alone.
Of course, nuisance number two had to butt in, however. "Looking comfy, huh?" Baekhyun asked, wiggling his eyebrows. You rolled your eyes at him but otherwise didn't respond.
Ever since the night in your room a few days ago, you had made sure to keep your distance from Baekhyun. The other guys had all assumed it was because of your extreme dislike for him, and had they asked, you would have ran with that until death. Because for some reason, you couldn't handle the fact that you had been weak in front of him, that you had cried and been vulnerable and told him about the one person you swore to protect from this life. You couldn't handle the fact that he hadn't thrown it back in your face, that he hadn't tried to take advantage of it, that he had been kind to you. You couldn't handle it, so you didn't. Instead, you pretended that it didn't happen.
"So," You dragged the word out, letting it catch everybody's attention before continuing on. "Are we going with Plan A or Plan B?"
Suho hummed in thought, standing from his chair and walking to the front of his desk. He leaned back against it and crossed his arms. "That depends. I trust that you'll be able to tell the situation enough to know. You remember the phrases, right?"
"Yup." You responded, popping the 'p.' "For plan A, I have to just insult him, and for plan B I have to suck up."
"Please don't pick Plan B just because it involves me getting shot." Baekhyun whined.
"Pretending to be shot, not actually shot." You corrected him, rolling your eyes. "Anyway, how long do I need to hold out before you guys start shooting?"
"We won't keep you waiting too long, don't worry." Tao responded eagerly, practically bouncing on his toes. He was the heavy hitter, you remembered, fighting was probably the one thing he looked forward to. You still couldn't believe it, considering how cute and innocent he looked.
You shrugged, taking that as an affirmative answer. "Let's go then, I guess."
You grabbed your jacket (you had been wearing it when you first came to his office, but had left it when you changed) and took the gun that Luhan offered you, tucking it into the waistband of your pants. You had two extra clips in your inside jacket pocket, and for emergencies, a knife that you kept literally up your sleeve. The guys began to file out of the room, Tao practically shoving the others out of his way. Grinning, you just shook your head at his antics before going out yourself. By now, you knew your way around the whole complex, and you began to race for the front of the pack. You couldn't deny it anymore, really- this was the life you were best suited for, the life that had your blood pumping, the life that made you feel strong and independent and tough. It made you feel like everything you had wished to be, everything you could never be at home. Your father was too old, too big, too strong for you to be those things, and your little brother to weak for you to leave alone. This life let you feel like you could protect him. Like you could protect yourself.
The cars were already loaded and ready when you got into the garage, and the boys began arranging themselves into the two large vans. You just squeezed yourself wherever there was room, which so happened to leave you pressed against Chanyeol and the door, your legs squeezed between your seat and Sehun's (because he just had to have the seat as far back as it goes).Most of your ride there was spent hitting Chanyeol for pinching you and kicking the back of Sehun's seat to make him give you room, up until Xiumin had enough and started yelling at you.
"What are you gonna do, hyung?" Turn the car around?" Sehun sassed. Xiumin didn't respond, but he did snap his right arm out and smack Sehun on the head, You snorted, and earned yourself a smack on the leg.
It was weird, you guessed. You were on the way to basically slaughter a group of people, on the way to lure them out and then gun them down, and you guys were laughing and joking with each other like you were on the way to an amusement park. Maybe this was why your brother hated this side of you- there was no guilt, no regret, no fear. You didn't care.
The slow rolling stop caught your attention, and you realized you were at the parking point. From here, the guys would all go get into their positions, and you would continue on to meet Hyojin- the guy who started the rebellion against Han- on your own. As far as Hyojin was concerned, EXO didn't know that you had the key. He thought that they thought he had it, and that by giving you over to them he would give the key to them. You figured he had some fake key, thinking that EXO would be none the wiser. You would keep them going until someone started shooting, and you would get your payback in the end.
You climbed out of the car (more like tumbled out since the door wasn't holding you anymore) and stretched gratefully. Chanyeol snickered at you as he got out, and Xiumin shook his head at you.
"Well," You grinned at them, giving them a mock salute. "I'm off. See you in a bit, boys."
"Good luck, socks." Xiumin grinned at you. The other boys echoed the sentiments, the rest of the boys calling after you similarly as they climbed out of their respective cars. You turned and waved again, before turning the corner.
Naturally, Hyojin had to be cheesy and pick some cliché run down warehouse for the meeting. Maybe this was to provoke you, since it was Han's favorite place to do his meeting as well. He had always loved clichés and tropes and the like. What a sap he had been. The thought made you chuckle.
You stepped inside the large heavy door, letting it swing shut with a loud slam behind you. You weren't trying to be sneaky, actually it was better if they had their attention on you. "Hey, assholes!" You called as loudly as you could, listening to your own voice reverberating back. "Hyojin, stop sucking Jungmin's dick and come meet me already!" You kicked a large crate that was next to you for good measure, the explosive cracking sound as your foot went through the wood echoing.
"Stop yapping already." Hyojin yelled from the back of the warehouse. You started to make your way back there as he continued.  "It's been a while, huh? How's your brother doing. I saw that he started his next semester already. Top of his class, huh?"
You froze for a moment. How was he keeping tabs on your brother? You had been so sure that he was safe from these people, so sure that they hadn't known.
"What?" Hyojin started laughing, just as he came into your field of view. He came out of nowhere, grabbing you from the side and pinning you against a shelf. The metal bars were digging into your back as you began to struggle, but with his leg pressed against yours, he had you trapped. "Don't tell me you haven't seen dear old brother. Has he stopped talking to you?" The fake shock in his voice slowly dwindled down into baby talk, warping his words as if he were talking to an infant.
"My brother and I are doing fine, thanks." You grinned, answering happily. You had to stay calm, if Hyojin knew he was under your skin you were dead. "Well, I'd be doing better if that prick wasn't trying to sell me off to you. Does he think you have the key?" You snorted incredulously.
"I know, a real moron." Hyojin laughed heartily, letting you go. You rubbed your wrists discreetly, checking to see if the knife in your sleeve would have been to obvious for him to feel. "Anyway, just give me the fucking key, please. I'd like to go home early tonight."
"Home? You have one of those?" You teased, stepping closer to him. "I'm surprised, considering you burnt the last one to the fucking ground."
"Well, Han was a piece of shit. Kris has to go to. It was a shame you survived." He shrugged. "You were supposed to be the first to die actually. Those hit men were just real fucking tots, huh. And like a goddamn cockroach, here you are again."
This time, you didn't laugh. "You didn't think I would go down so easy, would you?" It was obviously a question, but the way you had said it didn't seem like so. Your tone was harsh, and you stepped even closer to him, reaching a hand out and trailing it over his chest.
"I was expecting it, yes." He responded, letting his arm hang over your shoulder. "It's okay, though. Some people actually like roaches enough to keep them as pets."
You snickered, wrapping your arms around his waist. "I miss the time before, Hyojin. Training days, the annual fucking cookout Han always insisted on because 'a gang was a family, for life.' Why would you-" You stopped yourself.
"He needed to go. He was weak, he made us weak. We should have always been fighting, we shouldn't have to take shit from anybody else. He had all of this leverage and he never used it. Han was a fucking moron, and so were you and so was Kris for following him. They deserved it." Right after he harshly delivered those last words, he was shoving you away from him, gasping in pain. As you took a step back to look at him, you twirled the knife in your fingers.
"Just like you deserve everything I'm about to do to you." You snarled, flexing your grip around the knife.
"You bitch," he seethed, reaching around to feel his back. His hand came back covered in red, and this just made him angrier. "There's no running for you now."
"Oh trust me, even if I wanted to I wouldn't. Besides, those dicks who handed me off to you are still here, of course. If I try and run, they'll shoot. Watch." You turned around and started running towards the doors, and just as planned, gunshots echoed in the warehouse, and bullets hit the floor all around your feet. You stopped in your tracks and turned back around to face Hyojin, shrugging. "See?" The doors behind you slammed open, and Luhan and Baekhyun came walking in, guns trained on you. Baekhyun grabbed your arm harshly, dragging your forward. You felt Luhan press his gun into the back of your head.
"Walk." Baekhyun barked. Inside, you were snickering. You really couldn't take him seriously knowing how much of a whiner he really was.
Hyojin was laughing at you. It was a crazy sounding, hysterically happy laughter. "Finally! Finally, someone to just hand you over. Oh man, I've been waiting for this." He reached out to grab you, and just as he did, Luhan shoved you, sending you flying at him.
You grabbed his shirt with both hands, hooking your leg around his and dragging, knocking him to the ground. You were on top of him in a second, knees on his arms to keep him pinned, knife against his throat. You leaned down, close enough that your noses were touching, your hair falling over you shoulder like a curtain. "Oh man, I've been waiting for this." You snarled.
He bucked his hips, nearly knocking you off of him, but you managed to stay on. He rolled over, sending you flying into the box right next to you. You kicked the box at him, watching it hit him in the legs, giving you enough time to stand up.
He threw the first punch an you ducked around it, kicking out. Your foot slammed into his gut, and he doubled over for a split second, letting you whirl around and throw another kick into his side. He stumbled to the side, but stayed upright, charging at you. Before you could move he had his arms around your waist, slamming you up against the wall. He pulled away only slightly, slamming you up a second time. The breath whooshed out of you, and you were struggling to gain it again.
"This!" Hyojin yelled, grabbing a fistful of your hair and slamming your head down, throwing you to the floor. "This was Han's fucking legacy! He was weak, this is why I took over." He kicked you in the side, and you used the momentum to roll over on to your hands and knees, forcing yourself to stand. Your ears were ringing horribly, between the gunshots all around and your possible concussion, but you still trained your eyes on Hyojin.
"You're a fucking piece of shit," You breathed. "A real fucking moron if you think that's enough to take me down. the difference between me and you is that you only worry about yourself, you have no loyalty. How can anybody fucking trust you when all you're good for is stabbing people in the fucking back?"
"Its a gang, sweetheart, not a damn school club. Worrying about others gets you killed!" Hyojin pulled out his gun slowly, cocking it and pointing it right at you.
"Go ahead and shoot me." You said. "The second you do, you'll have six bullets in your head."
"Oh honey," Hyojin waved his gun dismissively. "That's fine. If I go, someone takes my place. However, when that person takes my place, they have orders. Orders that involve a small apartment on Sagwa Street."
"Leave him the fuck out of this!" You yelled, pulling out your own gun. "He has nothing to do with this!"
"Oh, but he has everything to do with this, doesn't he? I thought you would understand this the most. What did Han teach us? Leverage. Is. Everything."
"If you lay even a single finger on him so help me god," you spat out. "I will fucking torture you in ways worse than you can imagine."
"Call off your side of things and then we can talk." Hyojin grinned.
You knew it was a trap. You knew that as soon as you asked EXO to stop, he would probably put a bullet in your head. Worse yet, he would most likely play with you for a bit before he killed you. You knew that no matter what happened, no matter what you agreed on, if you died, your brother was done for. The only way you could even think of helping your brother now would be to get the hell out of here and go get him. He would hate it, and he would probably hate you, but you wouldn't have a choice. It was either he hates you, or he was dead, and at this point, you'd rather have him alive than love you.
You lifted your hand, palm towards Hyojin and fingers splayed, the sign for hold. You could only hope that they would trust you on this and listen. One by one, you saw guns go down, and soon the warehouse became silent. You couldn't be more thankful.
"You and me, Hyojin. No rules, no interference, and absolutely no going back on your word." You demanded. "If I win, then you or your gang or anybody will touch him."
"Okay, fine!" Hyojin agreed brightly, lowering his own gun. He tucked it into the waistband of his pants, and spread his arms wide. "Just you and me. Come on, then."
Quicker than lightning, you raised your gun and fired a single shot, right into Hyojin's chest. He stumbled backwards, grabbing his chest. "You... you fucking bitch!" He roared. "It was supposed to be a fair fight, just you and me!" He leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.
"Nowhere in there did I say it would be a fair fight. I did say me and you, but that's all it was. You trusted me, which was mistake number one. Mistake number two was putting down your gun. I never said I wouldn't be using it." You stepped closer to him, waving your gun around. "Han took me in. He gave me food, clothes, a place to stay. He was the father that I wish I had. He built me  up, taught me to be strong. He taught me that loyalty is the most important trait, hand in hand with trust. When you started that rebellion, you betrayed us. So, I thought it was only right to lie to your face like you did to us, to make you believe me and then stab you in the back. Or in this case, shoot you in the chest." You said cheekily.
"When I get my fucking hands on you-" He crumbled to the floor as you fired off another shot, this one into his leg. And then another one into his shoulder, and then another and another and another.
"I had everything taken away from me once, you prick." You spat. "And just when I get my life together, you think its okay to just fucking rip it all away from me again!" Another shot. He was unresponsive on the floor now, coughing and spluttering blood as he tried to catch his breath. "And then, and then-" You were laughing hysterically, feeling like your head was about to explode. Your chest was tight and you were finding it harder to breath with every breath that he took, as if he was stealing your air. "And then you think you can just steal it all away from me again, and get away with it?" You shrieked, firing again. "I hope you die in pain. I hope you die and go to hell and experience this pain again and again. I hope you fucking rot." One more shot was fired and the spluttering stopped. The breathing stopped. You were breathing heavily, gasping for breath. You could finally breathe again, now that he wasn't.
Suho stepped forward from his place on the balcony, leaning on the black, metal railing. He began to speak to the remaining members of Hyojin's gang, telling them that they belonged to EXO now, but you weren't listening. Everything was muffled, your ears still ringing. You could feel the adrenaline still racing through your veins, causing your hands to shake and for you to nearly drop your gun.
Baekhyun grabbed your gun from you, tucking it into the back of his pants. "Hey," He said quietly, placing his hands on both sides of your head, holding you steady. "You good?"
You nodded, finding it hard to speak. "Baekhyun," you choked out. "My brother, he had people on my brother-"
"I know, I know. We'll talk to Suho, okay? We'll figure something out." He smoothed down your hair, patting your cheek gently. "You kept him safe for now. You handled it well. Up until the end, I guess. You looked kind of psycho." He joked. You raised your hand and punched him weakly in the chest. HIs laughter was contagious and you found yourself giggling as well.
"What if I have to bring him here?" You asked him quietly as you guys turned to leave. He was the only other person who knew about your brother, and consequentially, his absolute hatred for this type of lifestyle. You weren't sure who else you could ask, or who to confide in.
"If that's what we have to do to keep him safe, then we do it. He'll realize that we're just protecting him, I'm sure of it." Baekhyun responded kindly, rubbing your arm. "We'll take it one step at a time. That's really all a dumbass like you can handle after all." He snickered. This punch wasn't so weak.
"Shut up, you ass." You shook your head at him, trying not to grin. "Get in the damn car. I wanna go home already." He fake saluted you and hopped into the drivers seat of the car, while you climbed into the passengers seat. Lay, Chen and Kyungsoo were in the backseat, Chen already attempting to mess with Kyungsoo. You laughed at them, calling them a bunch of children.
"Alrighty!" Baekhyun said brightly, shifting the car into drive. "Ninety nine bottles of beer on the wall, ninety nine bottles of beer-"
"Shut up, Baek."
"Yes, ma'am."
