our secret [ minchan ]

ch. 1

ew.

that's the first thing that popped on his mind when someone openly say they're gay or anything related to it.

"yah minho hyung. you good?" jeongin literally just smack minho's back , making him come back to reality. and of course, he's pissed.

"where are your manners , stupid?" the boy said, clenching his fist. then he took out his phone and scroll through twitter just to see hyunjin tweeting about jisung again. and their selcas.

disgusting, minho thought. scrolling lower.

"i gotta say, i'm quite surprised that you actually hate gays that much" jeongin said , standing up and walking into his room only to come out , a black hoodie in hand.

"you want anything from the store? im buying snacks" jeongin said, putting on the hoodie but stopped when he heard minho half-shouting "wait"

"i'll go. text me what you want."

then minho walked out of the house after taking his wallet and wearing his sweatpants, leaving jeongin alone.

( don't ask why was he not wearing pants before ) 

the night was calm, and quiet. a bit scary and chilly. nice, he thought.

at the convenience store, he took everything he wanted. and by everything, it's literally just a cup ramen, a sandwich and two can of beer. the extra stuffs that in the plastic bag actually belongs to jeongin, his housemate.

on his way out , he saw someone sitting outside the convenience store , probably drunk as heck , drinking a can beer. minho's pretty sure that's a man and he didn't know what made him approach said man.

"hello there" minho took a seat in front of the man on the same table. "are you good?"

the drunk man is now smirking while looking up at him and said "do i look okay to you?" then proceeds to look back down, probably to his lap. that caught minho off guard to be completely honest. of course he's not okay dumbass, minho thought to himself. 

minho took out a sandwich he bought just now and unwrapped it. he glanced at the man in front of him, "you wouldn't mind me eating here, right?". no response. he takes that as the man wouldn't mind and took a bite. he chewed on the sandwich while observing the drunk man sitting in front of him now.

minho can't see the man's face properly since he's looking down and at the same time wearing a black hoodie covering his head, but the man is surely cute. wait what?, he thought.

minho clears his throat, flustered with his own thought. thinking other man as cute is not weird.. right?. then, he took another bite of the sandwich while looking out at the scenery behind this drunk man. the seat he's sitting at is a great place for those who wants to enjoy a beautiful night view. he wonders why is this strange man is turning his back from the view.

it's nice , minho thought. suddenly , he heard sobbing from the man in front of him. "why is he crying now..?" minho whispered to himself before reaching out his unequipped hand to poke on the man's shoulder but took it back when he raised his head looking up at minho, again, tears staining his pretty face. "hey can i ask you something?" he asked, still sniffling.

minho nodded before voicing a quiet "yeah"

"have you ever fall in love with someone you know you shouldn't?"

minho hummed. "i've never actually fell in love with anyone, frankly" and that's the truth. heck, he hasn't even had his first kiss yet. if you're wondering , yes , he's one heck of a virgin because of how choosy he is in choosing a partner. he looks back at the man, somehow concern, "did you get your heart broken or something?"

"i don't know either. i think i broke my heart this time" the man said and all minho could do is nod understandingly. he could see how this man is hurting based on how much he's crying. he took a look on his watch.

11:00PM . well shit.

"hey uh, it's kinda late now. will you be okay if i leave you here? can you go home safely?" minho asked, concerned. the used saran wrap that's now empty has been crumpled and put back in the plastic bag. he will throw it away when he's back home later. now, he's just worried about this man. he doesn't even know why is he so concerned about this man that he didn't even know the name of.

silence. only sniffles could be heard now, in this quiet night.

minho sighed and took out his cellphone and called for a taxi. he took a glance at the sniffling man. he's.... asleep? oh god, help me , minho thought.

-

around 10 minutes after the call was made , a taxi came in front of the place they're at. minho put his phone back in his pocket and went closer to this person that's sleeping quite soundly.

minho whispered "hey" and shook the guy's shoulder. "the taxi is here" he said softly, making sure he didn't startle the man too much. the man then opened his eyes and looked at minho , eyes half-lidded.

minho took his arm and wrapped them around his own shoulder, putting his own hand around the other's waist to help him balance while walking and getting into the car.

"hello uh can you bring him to this address?" minho gave a piece of paper with an address written on it and the taxi driver nodded, taking the paper. how did he get the address , you ask? this drunk man put his personal details as his lock screen , and minho didn't think he's in the place to know the reason.

before minho proceeds to close the door , he can hear a quiet "thank you" which made him smile and replied "no problem"

-

minho opened the door and got in, greeted by jeongin that's watching a show -probably sweet home- on their tv. "what took you so long?" jeongin asked, eyes still focused on the show.

"stuffs" minho said while walking toward jeongin with the plastic bag.
