Noises From Above

Capítulo 16: Conectado

"Hey we should head out, it's seven," Chan said.

"Oh shit, yeah," Seungmin nodded.

"Alright well, it was super fun," Hyunjin said.

"Yeah, it was, we should hang out as a group like this more often," Changbin agreed.

With that, they bid their goodbyes and headed off to their separate cars. Minho walked beside Jisung, the two of them subconsciously walking closer to each other until the back of their hands bumped and Jisung jumped back, "I-I'm sorry."

"No, you're fine," Minho smiled at the younger.

Fuck what did you just do to my heart, Jisung thought to himself. Upon getting back in the car, Minho handed his phone to the younger to play music while he started the car, getting ready to leave.

"What should I start with?" Jisung asked.

Minho shrugged, "it's all up to you."

"Okay, what about, April?" Jisung asked as he started playing Oh! My Mistake by April.

"Your taste in music will always amaze me," Minho chuckled as he pulled out of the parking lot, beginning to drive them in the direction of their house. Jisung became sleepy as they continued driving, so he wasn't really aware of his actions, so as Billie Eilish's Hostage began, he mumbled the lyrics, singing them softly as he shut his eyes. The older boy sitting beside him kept quiet as he heard the boy mumbling. Minho only heard hums instead of actual lyrics, but he didn't mind that. When a few more songs came on, Jisung sang along in the same ways until a couple songs came on back to back, Cry For Me was first. Minho was singing along when at a specific part came along and he heard a second voice, causing him to freeze, "I don't know, neoran nom, miweojil jul moreugo, chungudeulhantan tto, neoreul gamssajumeun jung. Baboga dwae beoryeossgun."

"Holy shit," Minho mumbled as he continuously made very quick glances at Jisung as he sang.

"Ooh, neo wae jakku nareul bomyeo unneunde. Tak han bonne nunmurimyeon dwaeneunde. Cry for me, let me please forgive you."

Jisung stopped after that, not even realizing that he had been singing until Minho spoke up, "oh my god."

"Hm? What?" Jisung asked.

"Your voice," Minho said, "I just- holy shit."

"What do you mean? Was I singing?" Jisung asked.

Minho nodded, "please continue."

"What? Why would you want me to do that?" Jisung asked.

"Cause you singing caused all of my stress to leave my body." Minho said with a chuckle but the song had ended, "damn, the song is over."

As the next song played (that being Life Is Hard by Cameron Philip), Jisung bit his lip before speaking, "I um...I also know the words to this song."

"Please sing along to it, please?" Minho begged.

So Jisung did. Although, Minho was surprised when he heard Jisung do the rapping part and it was obvious the boy wasn't all that confident, but Minho was still surprised nonetheless. Minho smiled as he pulled into the complex as Jisung was singing, "Everyday I wake up so lonely, who am I if I don't know me? All the doors seem to be closing," Jisung looked at Minho as he sang the next part, "really need someone to hold me."

Minho had unbuckled his seatbelt, turning his body to face the boy singing and rapping. He had a soft smile on his face that made Jisung extra nervous. As the song ended, Jisung avoided looking at the older boy as another random song played. Wow Kangdae, you missed out. Big time.
