I like you.

Seungmin had never once had those words spoken to him. Until last night.

The troubling words still rung through his head even as the first light of the night approached. He couldn't sleep now, he felt too unsettled. Hyunjin, who had fallen asleep right after the words slid off his lips, was snoring peacefully, while Seungmin was laying awake wondering what to do. He eventually decided on pretending it had never happened in the first place. Maybe Hyunjin would think that he had simply forgotten.

Yes. Seungmin was unsure about the idea, but he had no other way of avoiding the situation.

Still, he didn't sleep that whole night.

When it was time to get out of bed and freshen up, Seungmin was nervous to say the least, he thought Hyunjin might bring up what happened in front of Jisung, then they'd have to explain the whole night. But to Seungmin's relief, it was actually the opposite. It had seemed like Hyunjin himself had forgotten.

He really hoped that Hyunjin would say 'sike' at any moment. He didn't like the thought of having to turn his best friend down. He honestly really enjoyed Hyunjin's company, but only as a friend, they had a really good relationship and he didn't want that to go to waste. They'd been friends for around four years now...

"Hey! Hello? Earth to Seungmin."

Seungmin snapped out of his thoughts to see the exact person he'd been wanting to avoid.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah...yeah I'm just a bit out of it, that's all."

Seungmin took note of the way Hyunjin leaned in, eyes searching his own and full of worry. Did he always look at him like this? How much had Seungmin not noticed?

"Do you want to talk?"

Seungmin imagined a scenario of him explaining his current thoughts to Hyunjin.

"No I'm okay, but thanks jinnie."

He watched as Hyunjin's cheeks tinted a light pink colour. Was it because he called him 'jinnie'?Wow, he had always called him that nickname, how had he not noticed before?

"Okay, but if you ever need to talk, I'll be here." Hyunjin responded with a small smile.

Seungmin gave his friend a smile back. He reminded himself to remember that Hyunjin is his friend before someone that has a crush on him, that made him feel better. Hyunjin was only looking after him as a friend.

"Thank you Hyunjin, let's go meet with the others."

Seungmin had decided to try to get rid of everything he did that made Hyunjin blush. In that moment, he had come to conclude that he would try to rid Hyunjin's feelings for him. It was the best solution.

After the afternoon activities, the students were told to go back to their own cabins.

So here jisung sat, on the couch, arms crossed over his chest. His mind was heavily clouded with many thoughts, one being of Felix, and another, of Hyunjin and Seungmin.

The previous night, Jisung had lay awake thinking about Minho with his head under the blanket when he suddenly heard footsteps. Those footsteps lead to Hyunjin's bed so he had decided that it was Seungmin seeing as they were the only three in the cabin.

The footsteps stopped at Hyunjin's bed and after, he heard the bed creek as if someone sat on it. There was silence for a while, but eventually, he heard the noises of two people kissing.

Jisungs eyes went wide, he hadn't even known that Seungmin was gay and his two best friends were kissing!?!?

"I like you."

That was the last thing he heard and it came from Hyunjin's lips.

Now he pondered, should he get involved?

*buzz buzz*

Jisung reached for his phone from beside him and read the text message displayed on his screen.

Minho: meet me behind your cabin.

They weren't allowed to leave their cabins for the rest of the night, but jisung was itching to see Minho. For no absolute reason.

He stood up off the couch and looked down at his clothes, smelling them first and making sure he didn't stink, black sweatpants and a plaid button up. It would do.

Phone in hand, he announced to his friends that he was leaving and left in a hurry. He ran along the sides of the cabin and got to the back, where he saw Minho, in 0.5 seconds. Wow, Minho got more beautiful every time jisung saw him.

But Minho wasn't showing his usual smiley face.

Jisung, wary, stepped closer to him. "Hi." He let out in a small voice, giving a little wave.

"Don't act innocent jisung. I saw what you did today." he said as he crossed his arms and raised a brow.

What he did? What did he do?

Minho stepped closer and placed his hands on jisung waist. "This." He then removed one and placed it on his cheek. "And this."

Jisung's heartbeat sped up.

"Minho what are you doing?"

"This, is what jae hyun did to you today, no?" He spoke matter-of-factly in a deep voice.

Jisung tried to think back, but his mind was too distracted by Minho's dark eyes that held anger, jealousy.

Lust.

one of minho's large hands engulfed jisung's waist, while the other rested on his cheek. he felt the warmth from minho's hands and as his thumb stroked jisung's cheek, jisung's heart fluttered.

minho had somehow pulled their bodies closer to one another and now they were left only staring at eachother.

"n-no i don't think so." jisung barely managed to get out. his voice was small and barely audible, but minho seemed to hear just fine.

jisung watched the way minho's eyes grew dark and he loosened his grip on his waist. jisung felt sad because of the action. "jisung, are you...cheating...on me?"

jisung was speechless.

after all this time, minho was that stupid as to believe he would really cheat on him. jisung was mentally facepalming.

he sighed and looked at minho, his eyes were searching, for confirmation maybe? he seemed genuinely worried, jisung almost felt bad.

instead of telling minho that he was a doofus, he strongly held his gaze and told him boldly, "minho, do you really think i would do that to you?"

"minho's gaze suddenly dropped to the ground, "i don't know... maybe..."

jisung was offended.

"well i'm not. i'm not cheating okay? i love you, and only you."

minho looked up, sadness apparent in his eyes, "then prove it."

jisung collected all of the courage he had, he took a deep breath before grabbing minho by the shirt and pulling him towards his face. "is this what you wanted." he breathed before crashing their lips together.
