seungmin really likes minho and he really wants to confess, but he doesn't know how to.

straykids just got done filming and are about to go home

"hey, minho hyung?" seungmin called out for minho, finally having enough courage to confess

"what?" minho said with his back facing seungmin because he was still packing his stuff, as they are getting ready to go home

"can I talk to you for a minute? it'll be quick, I promise you"

seungmin led the way out, heading towards the park, thinking to was the best place to confess in

"make it quick seungmin, I'm really tired" minho just wanted to go home and seungmin completely understand, seungmin sat down on one of the benches and is getting ready to confess

"sit down hyung" seungmin offered while smiling

"I'm good, just get to the point already" minho said as he rolls his eyes. seungmin smiles drops, feeling down that he can sense that minho doesn't want to talk to him any longer

"ok... so minho hyung, I like you, a lot- no scratch that, I love you minho hyung. I've been feeling this way for a long time now and I figured, maybe it was the right time to tell you this." seungmin felt great that he gets to release his feelings now having good hopes and feeling that minho will like him back

but oh lord was he wrong

"no."

minho said as he looks down at seungmin with a poker face

"wh-what?"

"you're confessing to know my answer right? my answer is no, I don't like you like that seungmin, heck I don't even like you as a friend. what makes you think I will say yes?"

harsh.

minho's words were too harsh for seungmin to handle

"I just though maybe... we could give it a try" seungmin now has lost hope, feeling so small as minho looks down at him like that

seungmin just wants to run home and lock himself away from everything, almost forgetting the fact that he rooms with minho as well

"no. we can't seungmin, and to be honest with you... I kinda like jisung"

"I get it... I'm so stupid. let's just pretend this never happened and I'll stay away, I promise" seungmin slowly stood up and walked back to the building with minho following behind shortly after

they got back and saw everyone getting in the van

"come on guys, let's get going" seungmin looked inside and saw that only 2 available sits are right by each other, meaning he has to sit beside minho... couldn't this day end even worst

seungmin didn't have a choice but to sit down with minho... it's gonna be a long ride

minho soon got in the van, having no choice but to sit next to seungmin as well. everyone felt the intense aura around the two, not knowing what was going on with the them

when they got home, seungmin was the first one out. he ran to their shared bedroom and crashing down on his bed, feeling hot tears stream down his face

he wiped it off when he suddenly heard the door open

"hey min, chan hyung was asking what you wanted for dinner... we're ordering" it was jisung. great.

"no, not hungry"

"are you sure? I haven't seen you eat anything today"

"yes, I'm sure. now leave me alone" seungmin turned his back, now facing the wall

he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding when he heard the door finally closed

~ 2 HOURS LATER, 9PM ~

seungmin was still crying. quietly, not knowing how to stop, he couldn't control it, he just lets it all out.

he quickly composed himself up when he heard the door open

"seems like you're really tired seung" it was hyunjin

"yea..." he let out a horsed like voice because of all the crying he had done

"if you have a problem, you can always tell me or minho hyung, right, hyung?" seungmin's eyes widen not knowing that minho was in the room now too

"hmm" the two heard a small hum from minho

"see? I told you minnie, minho hyung and I have your back"

seungmin wanted to laugh at hyunjin for not knowing anything

~ NEXT MORNING ~

seungmin woke up first so he can get ready without facing minho. seungmin quickly hop in the shower and took a long nice shower

as he was about to close the door behind him he bump into a hard chest, seungmin looked up and luck not being on his side, it was minho.

" 'm sorry" seungmin pushed past minho quickly, thinking that minho will let him go just like that

minho grab seungmin's wrist pulling him back

"hyung..."

"why are you avoiding me?"

THIS BITCH WEREN'T YOU THE ONE THAT REJECTED SEUNGMIN?

"I mean... I did say yesterday that I'll be avoiding you now, right?" seungmin doesn't even know why minho was talking to him anyways

"look, seungmin, I was really tired yesterday, I didn't mean what I said when I told you I don't even like you as a friend. that was really stupid of me"

"but you're still rejecting me for like you romantically, right?"

"I mean... I don't like you romantically seungmin, I'm sorry. I love you as my best friend only"

"hm... I get it now. you can let go now" seungmin just wants to get away from minho

"I won't let you go until you agree to not ignore me for rejecting you"

for minho it was immature that seungmin is ignoring him for turning him down. but for seungmin? it was a different story. he felt broken, useless, ugly, just everything negative is crashing down on him

"I want to move on hyung.... I can't keep on hurting myself for you. I want to forget you, I want you to be a stranger. please let me do that hyung"

"how can you possibly do that when we work together?" minho asked bitterly, still thinking that seungmin is immature

"just let me go and stop talking to me"

minho shoved seungmin away, now irritated

"fine... want me to ignore you, to not talk to you? be my fucking guest" minho walked into the bathroom, slamming the door making hyunjin wake up

~ A M O N T H L A T E R ~

seungmin felt stupid. he didn't think about minho's feelings as well.

"minho hyung"

"surprise. surprise. THE kim seungmin is talking to me. I'm shock that you're even beside me right now"

"can we talk?"

"it's about time you asked, you know that right?" minho said as he sat up properly to look at seungmin

"I know hyung. I just wanna say sorry for what I did last month. I should've thought about you're feelings, instead of ignoring you, I could've understood you're feelings and respected it. I didn't mean to take the reject that hard, I was so dumb for that. I'm sorry for not respecting your answer."

"it's fine. I appreciate you saying sorry for what you did, but I wanna say sorry as well. I'm sorry for turning you down harshly. I know, what I did was also wrong, maybe that's why you took the rejection hard" minho said as he took seungmin's hand and held it tightly

"It's ok, hyung. but to be honest right now, I still like you hyung. I'm sorry, I am trying to move on as fast as I can, it's not fast enough. I am truly sorry for that one

"seungmin, can I be honest as well? I actually wanna try us out"

seungmin froze. his whole world stopped. 'this can't be happening. what about jisung? he will get mad at me. what am I gonna do' seungmin thought for a hard second

"actually? what about jisungie hyung?"

"I know, I told you I like jisung, but I'm willing to try us out right now. for now, don't think about jisung. it's just you and me" minho touch their foreheads together as he saw seungmin closing his eyes

"are you sure about this hyung? I mean, what if we don't end up clicking. you just wasted you're time on me"

"as long as we put effort in what we are about to do, I have a feeling that we can click"

"are you sure about this hyung?"

"positive"

~ 1 WEEK LATER ~

they are having breakfast, with seungmin sitting on the counter watching minho cooks him breakfast

"minnieee~~ let's go on a date"

ever since minho said that he wants to try us out, he has been very clingy, it's not that seungmin hates it, it's just weird and he isn't use to minho clinging onto him. he didn't expect minho to cling on him that quickly

"this is our 3rd date and it has only been a week hyung" seungmin giggled

"so you don't wanna go?" minho brought out the puppy eyes on seungmin, teasing the younger

"I'm not saying that"

"oh don't act like you don't like it" minho said as he picked up seungmin up from the counter, automatically, seungmin's legs wrap themselves on minho's waist

"seems like you two are getting along" they heard a voice entering the kitchen, making them turn their heads towards the direction. chan

"you guys look cute together when you guys aren't fighting" changbin said as he looks around the kitchen to find what to eat for breakfast

"thank you, I guess...?" minho puts seungmin down to continue making breakfast for seungmin and him

"what are you making minho hyung?" it was jeongin

"breakfast for our seungminnie"

"ok. that's not fair!!!" jeongin whined as he stomped towards chan with a grumpy face

"you never make us breakfast that special, why seungmin hyung?"

"because I love him more than you" minho stuck his tongue out on jeongin, who just whined louder to chan, chanting how unfair minho was being

~ TIME SKIP TO LUNCH TIME ~

minho and seungmin are going out for lunch, just the two of them

"seungmin are you ready?" minho said outside the bedroom door, waiting for seungmin

"I'm almost done!" said seungmin as he was adding a few finishing touches to his fit

seungmin open the door to see a handsome looking minho in front of the door

"lets go?" seungmin looked at minho to see him just staring at him. seungmin blushed at the thought of minho getting starstruck because of him

"hyung...?" minho snapped out of it on the second call, a little embarrassed that seungmin caught him staring like that

"uH- YES LET'S GO"

they went on a cute cozy restaurant, perfect for the two. the atmosphere was perfect, it was welcoming, calm, just in all comforting

"order anything, it's on me"

"nuuuuuu~~~ I can't let you do that again hyung. the past few dates we had already with you paying as always. I can take care of this one" seungmin doesn't like it when other people pay for him

"no... I got it" minho wouldn't go down without a fight, so will seungmin

"please... just this once"

"no is no, kim seungmin"

"fine." seungmin is a little upset that minho is paying for him again.

"don't be mad minnie. I love spoiling you" minho kissed seungmin's cheeks, which caught seungmin off guard

"what was that for hyung~"

"a little peck won't hurt minnie"

~ AFTER LUNCH @ THE PARK ~

this was the same park that seungmin first confess to minho

"minnie... I wanna tell you something"

"what is it hyung?"

"I'm glad that I gave you a chance... I just wanna say that, I am really starting to fall for you. no joke this time being. kim seungmin, will you be my boyfriend? officially"

"no." minho was shocked... he wasn't expecting for seungmin to say no that quickly

"wh-what...?"

"you're confessing to know my answer, right? my answer is no"

"I get i-" minho got scared as he heard seungmin just laughing. 'what was so funny?' minho thought

"I'm just kidding hyung... lighten up. I said what you said when I first confessed to you... sounds familiar right?"

"seungminnn~~~ that wasn't funny" minho pouted as he whined like a little kid, but some stopped when he felt soft lips that pecked he lips. minho looked at seungmin with pure shock

"yes"

"y-yes...?"

"I'll be your boyfriend"

minho once again picked up seungmin, but this time he spun him around whilst chanting Iloveyous all over again

"hyung..." seungmin's voice caught minho's attention, making minho put seungmin down while replying "yes...?"

"minho hyung.... I fell first, but did you fall harder?" seungmin said teasingly at minho

"stop teasing meeeee"

"hehe"

"good thing that I really do love you, if not? I would have already murdered you. god... I love you so much"

"I love you too hyung. forever and always"
