#utuf

Three weeks later, when Bangchan came to stay at your place overnight, you had completely forgotten about your conversation.

You were in the kitchen while he was lounging on your couch, scrolling on his phone and waiting for you to call him over for any task, which would never happen as you hated having people in your skirts as you cooked.

"Baby ?"

He called, half sitting up and turning his upper body towards you as he waited for you to give him your attention.

"Listening..."

You replied although not looking in his direction as you were busy marinating some lamb for tonight.

"Bin asks if he can come over for dinner. You're ok with this ?"

"Hm.. sure."

You replied without thinking since it was quite an habit now for Changbin to come and share a meal with you.

You were completely unaware however of your boyfriend's smirking after your thoughtless reply, implying more than you would've thought of it.

"Great."

Changbin came a few hours later, it was late in the afternoon and things got as loud and animated as usual.

You were still busy with cooking and the boys joined you in the kitchen, not touching anything as they knew better, but sitting on the other side of the counter to keep you company.

The three of you got along well, in a natural manner with each personality complementing the other's. You laughed easily around them, got into passionate arguments on silly matters or just stayed in a comfortable silence with music in the background.

You were done after an hour and the boys had set the plates on your square table. Without even giving it a thought, each of you took their usual seat, Bangchan directly next to you, holding your hand while Changbin sat in front of you and waited patiently for the start.

Dinner went well with the boys talking music and you sharing your insights, Changbin teased and warned his leader a few times, daring him to leave you after tasting your lamb chops and a second time when you took his defense over them bickering.

To you things were going as usual, a normal evening with your boyfriend and his close friend but what you were unaware of, was Bangchan observing all along the evening.

You might've gotten over your discussion but he hadn't.

It had lingered on his mind over the days, he couldn't help thinking about it whenever Changbin mentioned you casually and his last visit two weeks ago made his assumption feel more and more like truth.

This evening was meant for him to confirm them.

He had been scrutinising every interactions, paying attention to any lingering gaze on his teammate, following your eyes whenever you looked in his direction to see the way they moved over his close friend's muscular frame.

Now there was only one thing he needed to make sure of...

Hours later, Changbin was gone and you were busy with the dishes. It was supposed to be Bangchan's turn but you spared him as he was meant to be at your place to relax.

He walked into the kitchen after a moment in the bedroom, shirtless after discarding the t-shirt he had stained accidentally during dinner.

Coming up next to you, he grabbed a kitchen towel hanging on the oven handle and started to dry the few dishes on the rack. You were chatting while working in tandem, singing in some moments with Bangchan covering most parts and you joining in the chorus.

It was a completely normal evening to you.

"Diner was nice, uh..."

"Hm.. as usual with you two around."

He looked at you and at your expression in particular as he continued.

"Mmh yeah but.. when Innie or Felix come you keep a bit more to yourself. With Changbin around.. you have more fun..."

"Seems to me the vibes are the same as with the others.."

You shrugged, quite oblivious of the intent behind this conversation.

He hummed as he pondered on your reply and placed the towel on the counter next to him. Moving slowly around you, like a predator would while closing on a prey, he slipped behind your back, large hands finding your hips and making you shiver instantly.

"Not exactly... And I think I have an idea why..."

His voice had dropped an octave, sending goosebumps all over your skin and adding fire to the heat already burning in your lower belly.

"An idea of ?"

You asked, halting all movement to focus on the sensation of his hands on you as they moved lower and forward, grabbing the fabric of the knee-long shirt you had changed into to get through the chores. He bunched it up a little, lifting the shirt just enough to access your bare thighs and caress the skin, following the warmth of your flesh as it got hotter and hotter as he approached your center.

"Channie.. come on I need to finish cleaning those.."

"Don't mind me then.."

He replied unbothered by your slightly wavering tone, his fingers pressing lightly on the soft skin of your inner thighs and forcing them apart. Sensing the moist flesh, he knew what was to expect before he even got to leave featherlight touches on you, fingertip brushing along the damp fabric of your underwear.

"I didn't go to the gym today..."

He smirked as he ran his finger along the soaked fabric and it as all the answer he needed.

You failed to see how his remark was relevant at the moment as his touch elicited a light moan from you.

Pushing your panties aside without wasting any seconds, he slid his index through your folds and let out a pleased sigh as he noticed how easily he could dive in. He was already expecting you to be in such state but was still in awe in the end, his desire ignited by how drenched you were.

A loud clunk resonated in the kitchen when you dropped a spoon from your hand, followed by the soapy sponge you were holding as you became unable to carry on with your task. Biting back a few moans when Bangchan started pumping his finger inside you, you quickly went to grip onto the edge of the sink as your legs were feeling weak and threatening to give off.

"So fucking wet... What were you even this ready for then Y/N, hm ?"

He growled, curling his digit in your core and making you gasp. Your eyes fell shut as you tried to understand what was going on but all your brains could decide on momentarily was for your hips to start rolling and seek more of his touch.

His free hand left your hip, making you wonder what was next until you heard the familiar rustle of his belt, the zip from his jeans and the soft thud of them hitting the floor as he rushed to free himself from his straining clothes.

He grabbed you by the nape, making you gasp at the rough grip but arch instinctively against him. Your legs were trembling when his hard shaft pressed into your entrance, replacing his finger without any ceremony.

"Tell me.. why are you so ready to fuck..!"

His snapped his hips forward abruptly, pushing all the way inside and tearing a cry of surprise from you. He was telling the truth as your walls stretched on his passage, provoking little pain as he sheathed himself in your welcoming pussy.

"Fuck Channie ! what's got into y-..."

You yelped, eyes opening wide in surprise when a swift slap on your bare ass prevented you from finishing your sentence. The light sting from the hit followed by the warmth diffusing over the sensitive flesh made your walls pulse around his cock, a deep grunt escaping his lips as he ran his palm over the curve of the cheek.

"Changbin is hot, isn't he ?"

"What ?"

Another harsh spank came, making you moan loudly and grip tighter on the sink. Loving when he manhandled you, you were still confused as to what warranted such treatment and you meant to turn your head to look at him but he shifted his hold to grab your chin, forcing you to look back ahead.

His grip slid back down around your throat, squeezing like to warn you to behave but making your eyes roll back with pleasure at the same time.

"I've been watching.. and I've noticed the way you looked at him, baby girl."

He pulled back all the way, slowly dragging his cock against your walls to make sure you felt every inch of it, then slammed again into your pussy, making you cry out his name in pleasure and protest.

"Tell me the truth, baby... I already know but I want to hear it... from you.."

He leaned forward and murmured against your ear while his hips shifted to a deep and sensual rhythm. The sudden change in behaviour was driving you insane, your whole body reacting to his actions.

You sighed and reached back for him, fingers waving through his silver hair to ground you as you met his thrusts.

"He is.. but I don't... Chan, I can't when you fuck me like that..."

You pleaded breathless and could feel him smirking against your ear, proud of the effect he had on you. He nipped teasingly at your earlobe while keeping his pace just as it was.

"So you like him ?"

"Not him per se....not how you think although I don't know... ah don't stop..."

You tried to explain but the way he choked you while his cock pounded you relentlessly made your mind foggy and you had trouble talking properly.

"Please harder.."

"Not yet... you aren't done confessing..."

Another hard thrust to let you know that he was losing patience and you pulled hard on his hair as it sent jolts of pleasure through your body, a long and raspy moan escaping you.

"It's just when... when you're together, I like him.. there's something about it... I love the way you interact and..."

"And... that's what makes you so worked up... how we could be in a certain way with you..."

It was subtle but a shiver that ran along your spine as you thought about Bangchan and Changbin together, something about the atmosphere around them, about their combined aura made you want to surrender fully to them.

You held back a moment as images of them played in your head but couldn't help clenching around Bangchan.

He moaned at the sudden reaction from your body, bucking his hips as the unspoken truth made him throb hard inside of you.

He cursed under his breath, being himself quite aroused by the unveiled fantasy.

"Fuck Y/N... you'd look so gorgeous.. perfect while you take us at the same time..."

He praised between kisses against your temple, cheek and jaw as he tilted your head to capture your lips in a passionate kiss. It was all tongue and teeth, messy as you both reveled in this newly shared desire.

Moving his hand from your neck to your hips and holding you firmly, he began to pound at a steady pace, the sound of skin slapping and heavy breathing filling the kitchen as you chased together your release.

It came fast for you as Bangchan recognised the way your body reacted when he found your sweet spot.

He focused on hitting it repeatedly, making you sing his name and cry in ecstasy as you could brush closer to your orgasm with each thrust he gave.

"Chan.. keep going.. you feel so good please..."

You begged and pulled him by the hair for your lips to meet again, sloppily until he got you tipping over the edge and shattering in his arms. Waves and waves of pleasure crashed over you, your body quaking from head to toes as you let yourself get carried away. Bangchan's hips never stopped through your orgasm, his own peak ever closer as the constant stimulation made your walls squeeze his cock hard and repeatedly.

He pressed his large frame against you, trapping your body between him and the sink as he buried his face in your neck and moved more erratically.

Deep grunts flew from his mouth, blending with your breathless moans for a little while then he came undone, his own climax hitting him hard as he sunk his cock up to the hilt inside you, letting out a strangled moan while pouring his release.

Careful to not collapse onto you, he wrapped his strong arms around your waist and let himself slide to the ground as he held you. He sat with his back against the counter cabinet while you snuggled in his embrace, both of you catching your breath.

"You lied..."

He pointed out while resting his chin onto your shoulder. You could note in his quiet tone that he felt a little hurt by you hiding the truth from him. You sighed and tilted your head to press your lips tenderly against his cheek, asking for forgiveness.

"I didn't want you to get the wrong idea.."

"What were you afraid of ?"

"That you would think I was interested in Changbin and doubt how much I love you."

"That's silly."

"I know now."

He pinched your side, making your wiggle in his arms before he held you tighter.

"How much then ?"

"Hm ?"

"Do you love me."

"I don't know... I can't imagine anything that might even get close to how much."

"That's good for me because I feel the same so..."

He took hold of your chin, making you tilt your head to plant a sweet kiss on your lips.

"... don't ever think that anything would change that fact. Always trust me and talk to me Y/N"

"Hm.. I promise."

Your lips met another time, sealing your promise as you kept them against one another for a longer time.

Bangchan gently brought you to lay on the kitchen floor, the cold tile making you press your body fully against him as he placed himself between your legs. The kiss turned more heated, your tongues dancing and lips moving like you would die if you parted in this instant.

You let go when you both needed to catch your breath, grinning like idiots and losing yourself into each other's gaze until Bangchan brought up the main topic again.

"So Changbin..."

"Changbin."

"How would you like to do it ? Should I just call him over or you would like something more elaborate? Romantic? A first time just you two or should I watch ? Or maybe we could tr-..."

You pressed a finger over his lips to shut him up as he got carried away with planning and overthinking through all of this.

"It can wait. For now what I want..."

You brought your legs up to wrap around his waist, letting his semi hard length slip back through your folds as you rolled your hips invitingly. Knowing you succeeded in distracting him when he breathed out your name and fell in pace with you, you stared into his eyes and finished your sentence.

"...Is you Chan, and no one else."

The smile that illuminated his face reached his eyes this time as he fell a little more in love with you, touched by your words and sincerity.

Bangchan came at your place a bit before noon, unannounced but more than welcome in the current state of your overworked life.

You didn't have time to spare for him with your tight deadline ahead and what seemed like never-ending work, but his mere presence had had the benefit of soothing your nerves and dissipate the panic that took hold of you over the last days.

Before he stepped through the door, you felt like you were drowning and just a instant in his arms, being held close and hearing his encouraging words, his praises, his acknowledgement of your efforts between gentle kisses, it was like you were breathing again.

He hadn't disturbed you for the rest of the day, instead taking the initiative of handling stuff around your apartment to remove the load of house chores off your shoulders.

He knew the place like his own so he quickly got to it after changing into comfortable clothes.

You felt some guilt seeing him move around the house, sweeping the floor and doing your long due laundry, from washing to drying and now even ironing, but you had to admit it was nice not having to worry about cleaning while you tried to expedite your tasks.

"God please no. I'm sorry, baby~"

He hummed to himself when you asked for forgiveness while acting all cute, then he resumed with his task.

"Thought so... I'll prepare dinner when I'm done with those, so don't worry."

"It sucks that it's how you're spending your free time.."

You sighed deeply then grimaced, feeling truly sorry for him.

"It means spending time with you so I'm not complaining. That's all I want to do on my day off."

He let out an adorable giggle, an habit of his whenever he would feel embarrassed after saying the cheesiest thing, exposing his feelings for you.

"But for real, we should rest... it's been a busy year for us both."

You nodded as you stretched your sore limbs, agreeing fully with his words.

It had been a hectic and stressful year on both sides.

You had quit your job to start working as a self-entrepreneur in your field, a dream of yours since long. It required more effort from you, induced a lot more stress, but also offered you more flexibility, as you always wanted.

It was quite a welcome perk now as you dated Bangchan, and it helped in making your relationship with him work. You could free yourself when he was available, adapt to his schedule and constraints easily since you were your own boss now.

Of course, he also did what was needed on his side to nurture your couple.

He pulled less all nighters at the studio, kept most of his free time for you, and called you as often as he could so you wouldn't feel lonely when he was away. You both held your relationship as a priority but, the previous months had gotten a bit in the way with the important project you were in charge of and Stray Kids World tour.

Those were important milestones in your respective life, and it meant that you naturally had less time with each other.

"You're so right, Channie."

"We could go somewhere together next time we're free. Like on a proper trip."

"I'd like that."

You pushed on the desk with your feet so you would be propelled in his direction, saving your from standing.

Bangchan just had enough time to put the burning iron down before he caught you safely, by grabbing the back of the chair.

"Ok, I'm listening... What do you suggest Mister Bang ?"

He brought his face just above yours as you leaned back, his lips brushing yours every so lightly as he murmured.

"Sun, heat, beaches..."

He punctuated each word with a peck, his hands sliding down to your shoulders to hold and caress them gently.

You sighed dreamily at the suggestion then closed your eyes, already imagining the sun kissing your skin and the sand warm between your toes.

"Yes. Yes. Fucking yes."

"Okinawa ?"

The corner of his mouth quirked into a smirk when your eyes shot opened wide in reaction.

You squealed and sprung off your chair to hug and kiss him.

It was your dream to visit Okinawa, you had told Bangchan on one of your first dates, when he asked about the place you would first teleport to if you could.

He laughed softly as you peppered his face with little kisses, pleased that he had found an idea that would make you so excited and happy.

"I'll take of everything... tickets.. car rental.. booking a nice house for a week.. new clothes fitting the weather..."

He held you tenderly in his arms, swaying your bodies like dancing while staring in your eyes with affection.

You were looking up at him in awe, your heart pounding in your chest as he never ceased to amaze you with how caring he could be.

"Damn, I'm going to fall in love again... Christopher Bang, you're an elite tier boyfriend."

"I know... You just realise it now ? Better late than never I guess.."

He gave a playful shrug but, you could see from the light pink tinge his ears had taken that your compliment made him a bit shy.

You wrapped your arms around his neck, unable to resist pulling him down for a long kiss and not caring anymore about the work awaiting you on the desk behind.

Your priority was to shower this amazing man with all the love he deserved.

You ended up in bed somehow, cuddling with some music in the background, some jazz as it was the genre Bangchan was into these days.

You were in a position that was both his and your favourite, with your head resting on his chest while he embraced you just beneath your shoulder blades, your limbs tangled together, switching from time to time to avoid feeling sore but always locking.

Bangchan's fingers tapping in rhythm with the bass on your back was helping you relax, all the fatigue accumulated in the last days seemed to fade away with each of his heart beats as they resonated through your ears. You exhaled profoundly and clung harder onto him, prompting him to kiss the top of your head gently.

"Got you, love.."

He whispered while caressing the small of your back. You smiled against his pectoral and whispered back 'I love you' as you closed your eyes.

You remained in each other's arms, quiet, just enjoying the other's presence until the end of the album.

Aware that this lovely parenthese had to end, you gave Bangchan a quick kiss then sat up and stretched, feeling truly revigorated.

"You know... Changbin is quite stressed lately."

He remarked out of the blue, just as you were about to slip out of bed and back to your work.

You worried instantly, not really paying attention to the odd timing for this information.

"What's up with him ?"

You asked with audible concern in your voice, laying again next to him to see his face properly.

Bangchan ran a hand through his hair, visibly just as preoccupied for his friend as you were.

"From what he said he's feeling stuck and frustrated with some producing ideas he has, like a writer's block."

"Is that why he hasn't drop by for dinner lately ?"

He let out a sigh, nodding as he met your gaze with his slightly sad eyes. It was obvious it was something that was weighing on him since some time. He had probably been waiting for the right moment to bring it up, feeling the need to share his thoughts with you.

"Amongst other stuff..."

You raised an eyebrow and waited for further details, taking his hand in yours and lacing your fingers together.

"There was this date he had... he told me casually about something that happened but I think it touched him more than he let it show..."

"Oh ?"

You couldn't hide your surprise at Bangchan's words.

You were wondering what happened, what was said or done to hurt someone as cheerful as Changbin. And who was stupid enough to not realise how lucky they were to be taken on a date by a man such as him.

"I haven't seen him much either since he spends his free time in the studio or the gym with that diet he started."

You pressed your lips, not liking that one bit.

Changbin and you were close enough to talk about details of your lives.

With time, as you grew to know each other through you dating his leader and friend, Changbin came to appreciate your advices and womanly gaze on things, while his opinion and positive look on life meant a lot to you.

As you listened, you couldn't help feeling a bit hurt about being kept in the dark by Changbin.

"That's not good that he put himself under so much stress."

"Yeah..."

"You think.. it would be a good idea that I text him ?"

Bangchan shrugged in answer, letting you decide for yourself. He knew that it happened that you occasionally texted or spent moments on the phone together, and it never bothered him.

"I was thinking though, Y/N... maybe it would be a nice idea for him.. to tag along."

"Along with whom? Where ?"

It took you a moment to connect the dots, your eyes grew wider as you stared at him.

You knew Bangchan well enough to see clearly that this suggestion wasn't only out of friendly concern.

"Our vacations ?"

"What do you say ?"

He tone was the softest as he sought your consent, knowing what a 'yes' would imply.

Weeks went by since he had exposed your fantasy, and he hadn't brought up the matter again after you agreed on terms and boundaries if it were to ever happen. Bangchan, you... and Changbin.

The mere thought was bringing your body temperature up.

Bangchan smiled, knowing what was going on your mind.

He wasn't the kind to let go that easily of a "goal", it just stayed dormant until the opportunity to fulfil it arose, like this precise moment.

His determination was both his strength and a curse, depending on the situation. Right now, you felt a bit like it was the latter.

"Is it because of our discussion that you suggest this?"

"Well... Changbin knows and... he would be in as well."

He didn't deny the idea was related but, the way his thumb ran over the back of your hand in reassurance was just as loud.

You were surprised that Bangchan had already shared the information with Changbin, and that the latter would be on board with all this.

He had never shown any interest for you, beyond the friendly type. Or maybe he had just been good at hiding it.

You looked away as some mixed emotions swirled within you.

You loved the man laying by your side, more than anything, but you also felt growing attraction for his close friend.

Over the last weeks, you had thought about Changbin as some things reminded you of him.

As days passed without hearing from him, you found yourself wondering what he was up to.

You found yourself slightly disappointed on some days when Bangchan returned alone from the gym.

You found yourself smiling when you recalled some joke or witty remark from him.

And now, you realised that you had missed his presence around more than you thought.

"If it's not something you want anymore, we can just go altogether as friend, I really think he needs some time away to unwind.."

He added after reading your expression, careful to not push too hard as you remained silent for a moment.

Since your conversation, you allowed yourself to imagine how it would feel to be in their arms, to feel them both at the same time, you even climaxed to that thought more than once, but there was still a part of doubt holding you firmly back.

You finally met Bangchan's eyes, they were full of patience and affection as he waited for your next words.

He leaned closer, pressing his forehead against yours while pinching lightly your cheek to make you smile. He instantly got the result he had been seeking, when a light grin appeared onto your face.

"Hey..."

You protested softly then reached to pinch his cheek in return, making you both break in soft laughter, all tension sipping away from your body.

Maybe your hesitation came from those moments, from the fear of losing them if you indulged into that fantasy.

"That's still something I would like to try with you. Eventually."

"There's no rush, baby. If it's not the right moment, and you want for our vacations to be just us, it can wait."

He gave you another of his cheesy grin and pulled you back into his arms, rolling your bodies together so he would lay on top of you.

"I'll be beyond happy, as long as we spend some time together. Just like we do now"

"Mmh.. but still let me give it some thought, ok ?"

You promised as you nestled your face into his neck.

In the end, you totally abandoned the idea of getting back to your work, preferring to stay in Bangchan's strong arms to start planning your trip. You would find an excuse to get a delay and everything should be fine.

As you watched videos of the idyllic archipelago on Bangchan's phone, your mind would drift sometimes.

Images would flash in your mind, of you and Bangchan, but also a broader figure that you would recognise anywhere.

Bangchan asked curious.

They were downing their third drink and had loosen up a bit by now, both taking a more comfortable position on their chair. People around were busy laughing and cheering for each other's success or lamenting about work or their love life, so the atmosphere was perfect for Bangchan to bring up a similar topic.

It wasn't for no reason that he dragged Changbin here with him, this moment would be the stepstone of his plan.

"How ? You know how difficult it is now that we're more famous... finding a discreet spot to see each other, make sure the girl won't talk about it, sparing some time to meet. I don't have the extra energy to put in this with how busy we are...."

The question sounded casual but Changbin notice a peculiar glint in Bangchan's eyes as the leader watched him. He didn't quite decipher what it was, he had no idea it was the expression of the man's inner calculations as this moment around drinks was nothing spontaneous.

Bangchan had been waiting since weeks for this opportunity to talk with him privately and test the waters on the matter you talked about.

"What about that girl from last time ?"

A deep sigh escaped Changbin as he thought about it himself. His dating life wasn't glorious since his breakup last year hit his confidence quite hard. The girls with whom it clicked, he didn’t have the time to give them the attention they deserved, and the others...

He took a long sip from his drink, suddenly feeling depressed.

"The date went terribly... she kept saying stuff like I don't usually date big guys but I made an exception for you... you're quite decent for someone your size... and other stuff..."

"What the fuck !??"

Bangchan cursed loudly in English, not believing what he was hearing.

To him, Changbin was amazing in every way. He was talented, a supportive friend, truly gentle and with great sense of humor and handsome to boot but unfortunately, the beauty standards of many in this country were damaging. Even himself lacked self esteem sometimes about his appearance but a single thought of you, of your affection, your praises and support in moments of doubt, helped make him instantly appeased.

He wished Changbin could have someone like you by his side.

"Yeah... pretty sure what she meant was you're too fat for me but since you're rich, it's good... Anyway, I dodged a bullet and I got other stuff to focus on..."

"Mmh.. the next promotion is right around the corner."

Bangchan stretched already feeling exhausted just from think about it.

The tour last dates were still to come but they were already working on the next comeback. Between that and the stream content they had to constantly put online, it's true there was little time left for anything else.

He felt bad for you since it means having even less opportunity to see each other. You had your own busy schedule so even when he managed to escape his hectic life, the timing was never right these days.

They finished a first bottle then a second and started another while reminscing about previous tour dates, still amazed by how fervent and dedicated fans were around the world.

"It's all like a dream but would be nice to get a break though..."

"Mmh.. see, hyung ? With this kind of hectic schedule, none of us have time to think about meeting anyone."

"Not even to..."

Bangchan eyebrows raised suggestively, his gaze dropping to Changbin's crotch then back up to make sure the other understood what he meant.

Scoffing at what was implying, Changbin poured himself half a glass and downed it in one swift swig.

"Fuck, I prefer to not even think about it..."

It was Bangchan's turn to pour a glass to his friend, feeling pity for him and the frustrating situation he was in.

It was crazy to him how people would pass on a man like Changbin.

How many times did he find himself staring for longer than he should have when the man was working out or during rehearsal, admirative of his build and the aura he had whenever he was fully focused. BinChan was maybe a fan's fantasy but it was one he wouldn't mind fulfilling someday.

They kept talking about their past love lives and how dating was easier back as trainee than it was with the notoriety now. As they recalled funny moments of their younger days where they almost got caught, they also reflected on their current situation.

"Hyung.. Everything is good with Y/N ?"

"Perfect... why are you asking ?"

Bangchan paused to stare at him, glossy eyes scanning his face for an instant while his glass hung off the air, the rim brushing his lips.

The attention made Changbin nervous for a second. He chuckled lightly and waved his hand dismissively.

"For nothing.. I was wondering if you two fought. You know since you're here having drinks with me instead of enjoying evening with her."

"Oh... yeah everything is fine. She's busy so can't see each other tonight but she said we can have breakfast together."

He reassured, leaning back on his chair with a dreamy smile and thinking about you.

"Must be nice... to have someone like her. She doesn't seem bothered by your work..."

"It take some efforts to make this work... both from me and her. But well, if it's to keep what we have, it's totally worth it."

"Ah, shut up.. I got it, you're in a happy and healthy relationship."

He observed Changbin for a moment, trying to read his expression but his senses were slightly too dull to catch the envy behind the playful glare the other shot him while tearing furiously into a piece of mackerel.

He laughed softly at the antics then with the effect of the alcohol gradually kicking in, he decided it was the perfect moment for the conversation to take an even more intimate turn and for him to push his agenda.

"Then I shouldn't add that the sex is stellar, I guess.."

Changbin almost spit his food at the last remark and looked at Bangchan with wide eyes, making him chuckle quietly in amusement. He looked at him with round eyes then around to make sure no one had overheard his leader's word.

"Yah... be careful, hyung."

Unbothered, Bangchan simply shrugged while drinking some more.

"It's fine, not like we're the first having that kind of talk here."

"Still... plus it's not really my business what Y/N... how you guys..."

He looked flustered and didn’t finish his sentence, face reddened and not just from the alcohol.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

"It's fine... it's not really that."

Bangchan apologised again, genuinely concerned he might have gone to far. They drank quietly for a moment, both lost in their own thoughts. Changbin was trying to keep his imagination from running wild and Bangchan was pondering on how to get this conversation back on track.

"Granny ! Another bottle please !"

He called one of the staff as they passed by, the obvious solution to him being more alcohol in their veins.

The old woman brought another bottle along with a plate of small sausages.

"Free snacks for you two. You need to eat more as well, not just drink."

She left with another pinch of cheek, Bangchan being the victim this time.

"Oh yeah~"

Changbin exclaimed with enthusiasm, cheered up by the more consistent food.

The mood between the two became relaxed once again, creating a window for the older of the two to bring the topic of his sex life back.

"But you know there's this thing I noticed with Y/N that I can't get off my mind..."

He started tentatively, attentive to whether he could keep talking or if the subject was really sensitive for Changbin.

The tone made the younger slightly concerned. Earlier his leader was saying that everything was fine and perfect so what could possibly be wrong ?

He gave a nod, signalling for Bangchan to continue.

"On gym days she... well sexually it's.. different.."

"...how different ? In a good way or a bad way ?"

He could sense the clear interest from Changbin who's hand was still on his glass but wasnt making any move to take another sip from it.

"I guess you didn't notice the way she acts with me when you come over on those days..."

"I mean... I can see how the skinship is... intense between you but I figured it's just how it always is."

Bangchan shook his head letting him know it wasn't the case. Changbin shifted a bit on his seat, feeling suddenly hotter but blaming it on his drunken state rather than the topic at hand.

"That's something I've caught on lately but, as soon as you're gone she basically drags me to the nearest surface to fuck."

He continued with his explicit retelling of the events, every playing perfectly as he intended.

"I've pointed it out and she said there a glow or something after our training session that makes her feral... Now because of that, there's this new fantasy I have of us doing it at the gym."

"You're crazy..."

Changbin shook his head at his leader's word but a swift lick of his lip betrayed his thoughts at the moment. Taking this as a hint to continue, Bangchan leaned closer to make sure no one else would hear his depiction of his deepest thoughts.

"She would come over and I would give her a late private training session then well.. she can thank me for it in the lockers or the shower."

"Eyy...How would this even work ? There's always so many people.

"Yeah... it's harder to realise than this other fantasy we both have..."

Now that he threw the bait, he just had to wait for the bite. He grabbed a piece of mackerel and chew on it, pretending to look around like he was done with his story.

"What.. other ?"

He contained a triumphant smirk at the question and the secretive tone of Changbin whispering. Clearing his throat, he kept his voice low and revealed the details.

"We would be in for... a third person to join. A girl or a guy since neither of us mind... of course it'd have to be someone we know and trust."

He didn't know if the silence that followed was due to shock or Changbin processing the information but he let this hang in the air for a moment, taking another sip from his drink then calling over the staff for another bottle.

Changbin felt like he would combust on his seat as image of you, Chan and him playing in his mind. It was something that he had thought about, more time than he would've admitted. He felt an undeniable attraction towards both of you, towards Chan since their trainee days and you since the first day and to know that there was a possibility to be intimate with you almost drove him insane.

"What do you think of Y/N ?"

"Hm ?"

The question brought him back to reality. He tried to regain his composure by drinking a few sips then looked up at his leader with confusion.

"What do you mean?"

He just shrugged and waited for Changbin to answer, not wanting to stir his reply in any direction.

The alcohol made it difficult for the younger to be cautious with his choice of words, emotions taking the upper hand.

"She's an amazing person...gentle, witty and challenging in the conversation."

Unbeknownst to him, a smile started to form on his lips as he talked. He was recalling moments with you, how he always felt at peace after heading home on those days, how he went to sleep with thoughts of you occupying his mind and his heart drumming in his chest.

"... an unusual sense of humor. Also she's great cook and she keeps our leader happy. "

Bangchan listened attentively, jealousy lightly poking at his stomach but simultaneously, some odd feeling was blooming in his chest.

He liked that someone else was seeing how precious you were, someone he trusted the judgement of. You meant the world to him, to the point where he thought there were no perfection above so hearing Changbin voice his own thoughts made something stir within him.

He crossed his arms over his chest, still trying to figure out the emotions playing within him as he watched Changbin.

"Mmh mmh.. and like..physically?"

"I won't lie and say she hasn't everything I like."

He replied honestly, although holding back from saying everything that was on his mind.

He didn't know how Bangchan would take it if he said that he often lost track of time when he looked into your eyes, like hypnotised, that he found himself drawing your face and cute nose when he daydreamed about you, that your lips kept him awake too often at night as he imagined the feeling of them.

Of course he was loyal to his leader but since months, his thoughts were filled with that woman that belonged to one of the closest person to him.

"I figured... I catch you staring at her ass sometimes."

Changbin heart stopped as panic took over him.

He thought that he wasn't too obvious about the way he felt towards you but his teammate was too observant, even more attentive since he caught on some things in your behaviour which led him to notice some in Changbin's as well.

"Fuck... Chan-hyung, I'm sorry !! I swear I would never try anything or cross the line with Y/N.. I'm serious."

He pledged, body fully turned towards Bangchan and searching for his gaze, looking for any hint of anger in his eyes. All he found was calm, maybe even some contentment.

"It's fine relax, I know..."

Bangchan gave Changbin's shoulders a reassuring shake, making his body sag a bit in relief on the chair.

He poured them both another glass then raised his own before looking at Changbin expectantly. Taking the hint, he rose his in turn and gave his leader a small smile as they clunk their glass together.

They kept drinking and chatting over other stuff like family, sports or the future but Bangchan could tell that the mood had shifted. Changbin was drinking too fast but barely chewing on his snacks while a troubled expression remained on his face.

"You're still stressing over earlier?"

"I don't want you to believe that I'm preying on Y/N or anything."

"I don't. Besides.. I know she looks at you too.. fuck you're more her type than I am to start with..."

He mumbled in his beer, unable to control the spike of irritation over this known fact.

Bangchan and you had been pretty open about your exes. At first, he just wanted to know how they were like to not repeat any bad behaviour they had with you, so you told him and he told you about his past girlfriends. Then as you talked in all trust, you ended up giving details about their appearances and although he never felt "threatened" by Changbin, he just knew you had a type and that he matched it and couldn't help his pride being hurt a bit by this.

"Bullshit. I see how she looks at you when I'm over at your place. You're lucky man.."

"I am..."

He groaned in pain when his shoulder got punched by Changbin but chuckled when he noticed the other's sulking expression

All negative thoughts got blown away by this gesture that reminded him of the close friendship between them.

It was exactly why he was trusting him with what he was about to ask next.
