“This is the worst thing to ever happen to me.” Daeyoung said as his tears soaked Sakuya’s shirt. Ryo was already pulling out tissues for Daeyoung. “You’ll find somebody new. Maybe even three new people.” Ryo said as he gave the tissue for Daeyoung to blow his nose. Daeyoung buried himself on Sakuya’s shoulder again. “It’s not the same. I won’t feel anything if it isn’t them…” Ryo looked up to share a concerned look with Sakuya. “Don’t say that. What if your three future rich husbands that have a six floor house with ten cars are waiting for you but you’re too hung up on them?” Daeyoung looks at Sakuya. Tears start forming in his eyes again. “I don’t want anybody else other than them.” Daeyoung hugged Sakuya again as he cried harder this time.
Ryo patted Daeyoung’s back gently. “You can stay here if you want. So you know you don’t have to sleep with Yushi hyung tonight.” Daeyoung could only hum in response. “You can sleep on my bed. I’ll just share a bed with Sakuya.” Ryo stood up to get his bed ready for Daeyoung. “Sakuya… How could I even be this unlucky?” Daeyoung said as his breathing got heavier. Sakuya stayed quiet for a bit. “I fell in love with the three of them but I found out all three of them have been dating each other for months now.” Daeyoung still had his head resting on Sakuya’s shoulder. Sakuya could only hug him. “My bed is already set up hyung. Just tell us if you need anything.” Daeyoung nods in response.
“What happens if I never move on? I mean I spend all my time with them. Especially Yushi hyung… he’s my roommate. I can never escape Sion hyung and Riku hyung either.” Daeyoung pulled away from Sakuya to wipe his face with tissues again. “Yes you will. Maybe not now but in the future you can. We’ll be here for you as well so don’t worry too much.” Ryo reassures him. He’ll probably wake up with sore eyes and a puffy face. He wonders if Sion will ask him. Sion has always been the most attentive to him. Daeyoung sees his vision blurring again. “Daeyoung hyung…” He feels somebody hug him again. Probably Sakuya. Maybe Ryo. He’s too sad to notice right now.

Daeyoung doesn’t remember why all six of them were in Sion’s room right now. Everybody was doing their own activities and having their own conversations. He decided he’ll just stay with Ryo and Sakuya. Ryo was telling both of them a random story. He couldn’t help but laugh with them. It’s been a few weeks since he found out Sion, Riku, and Yushi were dating. He’s been spending more time with the two of them. He couldn’t really spend a long period of time with the three of them properly just yet.
“Daeyoung…” Riku’s voice calls out. He turned his head hearing his name being called out. Daeyoung sees Riku sitting on Sion’s bed. “I missed you. You should sit here.” Riku moved to make space beside him. Daeyoung looks back at Sakuya and Ryo. They both don’t know what to do. He hesitatingly stands up and walks over to Riku. Daeyoung saw how happy Riku was when he sat beside him. “We haven’t had a proper conversation in a long time.” Riku rests his arm over Daeyoung’s shoulder. Riku pulls Daeyoung closer to him. Daeyoung feels his heart race. He liked how warm Riku’s touch was. “You can rest your head on my shoulder. I don’t mind.” Riku said as he looked up at Daeyoung. “What about Sion hyung and Yushi hyung? Won’t they dislike it if im this close to you…” Truthfully, Daeyoung did want to rest his head on Riku’s shoulder but he doesn’t want Riku getting into fights with his boyfriends because of him.
Riku smiles at Daeyoung “Why would they dislike it? They love you a lot, you know?” Riku didn’t give Daeyoung time to react before he pulled him close on his shoulder. “Don’t worry too much Daeyoung. They seriously won’t mind.” Daeyoung sighed and let himself rest on Riku. Riku’s hugs and affection always gave him a sense of comfort. Even if Daeyoung was bigger and taller than him, Daeyoung would always melt under his touch. Daeyoung shifted his position and moved closer to Riku. His head was resting more on his chest. Daeyoung hears Riku giggle. He looks up to see Riku smile at him. “Daeyoung you’re really cute.” Riku said as he started stroking Daeyoung’s hair. He immediately looks away from Riku. How could Riku say something like that when he already looks so pretty right now? Daeyoung doesn’t know how red his face is. He just hopes it's not too noticeable.
“Sion hyung and Yushi hyung will be angry at you and me…” Riku laughs even louder. “You’re so worried about them. What about me Daeyoung? You haven’t asked about me once.” Daeyoung quickly pulls away from Riku after hearing that. Riku was implying too much with his words. “I’ll start getting the wrong idea hyung. Even worse if Sion hyung and Yushi hyung also get the wrong idea.” Daeyoung didn’t want them to hate him. He knew how much they both loved Riku. Riku sighs and he points behind Daeyoung. Riku signals for Daeyoung to look behind him. Daeyoung gives him a confused look. He looks behind him and sees Yushi and Sion smiling at both of him and Riku. They both look away the moment they make eye contact with Daeyoung. How long have they been staring?
“Let’s cuddle again.” Daeyoung looks back at Riku. Daeyoung leans in closer again. If Sion and Yushi are okay with it then it should be fine right? Riku went back to their position and he had his arm around Daeyoung and his hand stroking his hair again. Daeyoung’s head is resting on his shoulder but his face is much closer to his neck. Daeyoung wants to wrap his arms around Riku and lean even closer than he already is. Daeyoung has to hold himself back. He knows he can’t let himself indulge further. That would take it too far. Riku would hold him close like this but Daeyoung still couldn’t love him the way he wanted too. Maybe this was enough for now.

Daeyoung heard a knock on the door. “Yeah?” The door opened to reveal Yushi standing. “Jaehee watch me play my nintendo switch.” Daeyoung couldn’t say no. Yushi was walking towards Daeyoung’s bed and moving some of his pillows to sit beside Daeyoung. Yushi opened the game and started playing. Daeyoung didn’t understand what was happening at all in the game. He was just glad that Yushi wanted to spend time with him like this. Daeyoung was supposed to watch Yushi’s gameplay but his eyes were on the man playing instead. Yushi looked cute today. His unkempt hair and focused expression made him look cute.
“Daeyoung, you should try playing.” Daeyoung snapped out of his thoughts. “Ah but I don’t know that much about this game…” Yushi still gave the switch for Daeyoung to hold. “I’ll teach you then.” Daeyoung nods as he holds the switch in his hands. He’s not too familiar with the buttons or controls. Yushi’s voice was guiding him on where to go and what to do. His hands were just following what he heard. “You can combo by clicking A twice and X once.” Daeyoung attempted to do it but failed. “Wait, I don't understand.” He tried again but failed once more.
“Here.” Daeyoung felt one of Yushi’s hands on his and Yushi’s other hand resting on his shoulder. It didn’t help that Yushi was leaning in close to Daeyoung and he could smell his shampoo. Daeyoung couldn’t even pay attention to what Yushi was saying. “Now you try.” Yushi still doesn’t pull away. Yushi’s hand is hovering above Daeyoung’s. Daeyoung clicked the buttons like how he did before. “Hmm not like that though.” Yushi now had both of his hands on top of Daeyoung’s hands. He was clicking buttons for Daeyoung and guiding him. Daeyoung still couldn’t focus.
At this point it was just Yushi playing while holding hands with Daeyoung. Daeyoung didn’t really mind though. He liked being able to have a reason to be close with Yushi. He liked hearing Yushi talk as well. His soft and gentle voice does something to him. He may not pay attention to what he’s saying but he definitely loves to hear how his voice sounds. Yushi could speak in a language Daeyoung has zero knowledge about and he’d still want to listen to Yushi talk just to hear his voice.
Yushi stops speaking when he focuses again. Daeyoung stayed silent as well. He didn’t want to distract Yushi and potentially mess up his gameplay. The door knocks and opens. Daeyoung looks up to see Sion. What if Sion thinks of the wrong things? Daeyoung quickly tries to pull away but Yushi wasn’t letting go. “Hyung… Sion hyung is here…” Yushi only hums in response. “Hyung seriously…” He tried pulling away again but Yushi still didn’t let go. The last thing Daeyoung wanted was Sion thinking that Yushi and Daeyoung were being romantic. Daeyoung looked up to see Sion looking at him and Yushi.
“Hyung I wasn’t trying to do anything with Yushi I promise.” Sion gave Daeyoung a confused look. “I mean I wasn’t thinking that. What are you guys playing?” Sion sounded so unbothered looking at his boyfriend being so close with another man. “I’ll tell you later, hold on.” Yushi replies. Sion smiles at him. “Hyung, were you finding Yushi?” Daeyoung was still a bit scared. “No. I was looking for Sakuya. I thought he’d be here. Not complaining though because I get to see Yushi and you.” Daeyoung’s throat dries up. Did he hear that correctly? Yushi and him???
The game said Yushi won but Yushi wasn’t letting go at all. “Hyung I wanna be alone with Jaehee right now.” Daeyoung felt Yushi’s hand tighten around him. “Wh-” Daeyoung didn’t understand. Why would Yushi pick him over his boyfriend? Daeyoung looks at Sion but he seems unbothered? amused? Sion lifted Yushi’s head with his hand. “Sorry Ushi. I’ll leave now.” He tucked his hair behind Yushi’s ear and smiled. After that, Sion left, leaving him alone with Yushi.
Yushi finally let go of Daeyoung’s hands. “Are you sure Sion hyung is okay with you saying that?” Daeyoung still felt hesitant and confused. “If Sion hyung hated it he’d say it. He knows I like being with you anyways.” Daeyoung was even more confused. He knew? What else does he know? “Don’t think about it too much. Let’s play again. You try.” Daeyoung nods and plays his switch again.
This time he actually listens to what Yushi is saying. Yushi accidentally kept making him laugh. It made him die a lot in the game. Yushi could always make him laugh for any reason. It’s one of the reasons he fell for Yushi in the first place. “You’re having too much fun laughing rather than playing.” Yushi joked. “Stop making me laugh then.” Daeyoung replied.
“No, I like it when you smile. You’re pretty when you smile.” Daeyoung's eyes widened from Yushi’s sudden confession. “Say that to Riku hyung or Sion hyung. Not me.” Daeyoung didn’t know why Yushi would say that to him so suddenly. He had Riku and Sion. “I can say it to you too. They’d agree with me too.” Yushi said it with zero hesitation or worry. Daeyoung was so confused.

His hair was still wet but at least he could watch the movie now. Daeyoung came back from practice a bit later than the rest because he wanted to improve on the choreography more. He told the group that they could start the movie ahead of him. He still had the towel around his neck and was drying his hair with it. It’s only now that he notices that there wasn't any space for him to sit on the couch. It leaves him no choice but to sit on the floor.
“Why are you sitting on the floor?” Sion’s voice caught everybody’s attention. Everybody was looking at him now. “I don’t have a spot to sit on the couch. I’ll just sit here.” Daeyoung was reaching for the popcorn that was placed beside him. “Just sit on my lap.” Daeyoung looked at Sion with a shocked expression. “Huh!?” Daeyoung turned to look at his members. Only Sakuya and Ryo looked shocked for some reason.
“You’ve sat on my lap before.” Sion looked clueless on why Daeyoung looked surprised. It’s not like Daeyoung was opposed to that idea. The issue is that beside Sion is Riku and Yushi. That would be crazy if he sat on Sion’s lap. “It’s okay… I’ll sit on the floor.” Daeyoung knows that he probably looks really flustered right now. “Your back is gonna hurt sitting like that.” Sion was right about that. He really didn’t want to feel sore after a movie. Daeyoung was thinking again. Daeyoung sighed and walked towards Sion. He sat on Sion’s lap. He had to position himself properly so that Sion could look at the screen.
Daeyoung finds a position that is comfortable for both him and Sion. Daeyoung hopes he can focus on the movie. Suddenly, he feels somebody drying his hair. “Daeyoung is always working hard.” Sion muttered out. Daeyoung was too stunned to say anything. Sion stops and Daeyoung feels Sion hold his waist. Daeyoung swears he stopped breathing for a moment. “Hyung…” Daeyoung whispered. “Mhm?” Daeyoung turned to look at Riku and Yushi but they both seemed to be invested in the movie right now. “Isn’t it weird that we’re doing this? Won’t they get jealous… Or suspicious of something else.” Sion rested his head on Daeyoung’s shoulder. “Jealous of who? Me or you?” Sion was pulling Daeyoung closer. “Me… I don’t want them to hate me.” Daeyoung tried his best to not panic and accidentally say something too loud. “They love you. Trust me Daeyoung-ah.” Sion whispered in his ear. Sion pulled him closer to him. Daeyoung didn’t know what was happening in the movie anymore.
♡♡♡♡
Daeyoung had mixed feelings towards them. He loves them but aren’t they doing too much? They tell him they are dating each other and then start making moves on him. It’s making him think that he has a chance. He’s sure that Sakuya and Ryo have noticed it too. They’ve been more bold and affectionate with him lately. Hugging, hand holding, cuddling, compliments that can read as romantic, sudden gifts, and asking him to spend more time with them. It’s a lot, really.
Sakuya and Ryo were out together today. They were the only ones in the group that left the dorms today. “Daeyoung.” Daeyoung looked up from his phone to see Sion standing in front of him. “Me, Yushi, and Riku will be in my room. You should join us.” Huh? “Join?” Sion nodded. “I don’t want you feeling left out.” Sion was always looking out for Daeyoung. One of the reasons he liked Sion was how attentive he was to him. “Sure.” He didn’t want to reject Sion’s offer. Even if he was most likely going to third wheel them he doesn’t want Sion worrying about him too much.
Daeyoung was already following Sion to his room. “My friends asked me to play some matches today so you can be with Yushi and Riku.” Sion opened his door and he saw Yushi and Riku on Sion’s bed watching something together. Yushi had his head on Riku’s chest and Riku had his arm around his shoulder. It really felt like he walked in on a couple—even though he was invited to be with them. Daeyoung bit the inside of his mouth. Was he even supposed to be here?
“Daeyoung!” Riku called out. They both looked happy seeing him. Daeyoung felt more at ease and walked up to them. “Sit beside me Daeyoung.” Riku was making space for him when Yushi suddenly stopped Riku. “He can sit beside me, it's okay.” Daeyoung was frozen. “Where do you want to sit?” They both looked up at Daeyoung. “I can sit in the middle.” Picking between Yushi and Riku is like asking him to pick water or air. He couldn’t do that. Daeyoung moved to sit in between them. He hasn’t even adjusted his position yet but they are already clinging onto him.
Daeyoung is kind of trapped. Both Yushi and Riku have their legs on top of him while they both lean on Daeyoung. They are watching an anime too so he couldn’t really get out. Not like he was going to complain though.
“Why does he have more chemistry with him than the girl he’s supposed to like?” Yushi said. “They should just kiss honestly.” Daeyoung was only half paying attention to what was happening. It’s hard to pay attention to what’s happening when two of the guys you have been in love with for a whole year now are clinging to you and being really affectionate. Daeyoung thought that they resembled clingy cats right now.
“What episode are you guys on?” Their attention was moved to Sion sitting down on his bed. Yushi paused the episode to answer Sion. “Episode 8.” Sion moved closer to the three men. “Poor Daeyoung was getting squished in between the both of you.” Sion took the free arm of Daeyoung and lifted him from Riku and Yushi. Daeyoung always knew Sion was strong but damn. He liked it a lot. Daeyoung was sitting in front of Sion now. “Do you wanna watch with us?” Daeyoung asked. Sion was moving closer instead of answering.
Sion brushed the bangs out of Daeyoung’s eyes. “Daeyoung-ah you’re so handsome.” Daeyoung’s eyes widened hearing that. Sion can’t just say these things to him so casually. “Yushi hyung and Riku hyung can hear you.” Sion doesn’t react to that. He seemed to be more focused on Daeyoung. “I know.” Sion put his hands beside Daeyoung. Sion was basically pinning him down on his bed. He moved so close to Daeyoung that he could feel Sion’s breath on his lips. “Daeyoung’s so red.” Daeyoung didn’t have to look that far to see Yushi beside him. Daeyoung backed up from the shock. He feels somebody behind him. It was Riku that was behind him.
His heart was racing so fast and his breathing got heavier. He’s never felt this excited and scared before in his whole life. His throat felt dry because he was breathing through his mouth. Daeyoung covered his face with his hand. He knows that he probably looks really red and flushed right now. Daeyoung feels Riku hug him from behind. He slowly removes Daeyoung’s hand from his face and holds his hand from the back. “Daeyoung, we all want you.” Riku’s voice got deeper. Daeyoung felt like he was dreaming. His head is turned to face Yushi. He put his forehead on top of Daeyoung’s and leaned in closer. He placed his hand on Daeyoung’s cheek. “Can I kiss you?” Daeyoung couldn’t speak properly. He was too flustered to say anything. Daeyoung could only nod at Yushi. He closed his eyes waiting for him.
Yushi tilted his head and kissed Daeyoung. Yushi’s lips felt soft against his. Yushi moved his hands to Daeyoung’s hair and tugged it slightly. Daeyoung groans from the slight pain leaving his mouth open for Yushi to enter. Yushi wasn’t slowing down either. He was licking every part of his mouth. He occasionally pulls out to lick his lips too. Daeyoung pulls back slightly to recover. Yushi was never a patient person. He gave small kisses on Daeyoung’s lips. He opens his eyes to see Yushi staring at him. “Yushi’s so pretty.” Yushi stops when he hears that. “Thanks…” Yushi was acting shy like he wasn’t just licking Daeyoung’s mouth inside out.
Suddenly, he feels somebody tilt his head up. “What about me? Am I pretty?” Daeyoung felt another rush of excitement in him. Instead of answering he kissed Riku instead. He knew his neck would hurt after this but he couldn’t care right now. What kind of person would miss out on kissing Riku? Riku didn’t wait around and started biting his lip. He kept biting and going in deeper. Daeyoung swears he already swallowed Riku’s saliva by now. Daeyoung grabs Riku’s hair and holds him in place. He feels Riku smile against his lips. It encourages Daeyoung to pull Riku closer.
Daeyoung is only now noticing somebody leaving small kisses on his neck. This causes Daeyoung to part from Riku. Daeyoung was so focused on Riku that he forgot Sion was in front of him. “Hyung…” Sion bit his neck and licked the spot. Daeyoung feels like he’s suffocating in the best way possible. Daeyoung was still looking at the ceiling. Riku let his head rest on his shoulder so his neck wouldn’t hurt too much. Sion left even more kisses on the other side of his neck. Every time he would bite he would always soothe it after with his tongue. “S-sion…” Sion pulled away from his neck. Daeyoung lifts his head to look at him. They stared at each other for a while. Sion looks so beautiful above him. Sion smiled at him and gave Daeyoung a peck on his lips. “I don’t want you fainting baby. I’ll kiss you better later.” Sion whispered and gave Daeyoung another quick kiss on the lips.
Daeyoung feels like he's the luckiest person on earth.
