𝑾𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝑵𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 ❣︎ MinSung

;; 23

"Oh! What if- wait, does he know?"

"Know?"

"You know, i know.."

"Lee Know.." Minho nodded, though Jisung couldnt tell, "um, about that-"

"- I told him."

A gasp was heard, "no- did you?"

"Im sorry Minho, i didnt know that he didnt know Lino was you- that you were Lino," he sighed. "I didnt know so i told him, but i told him to forget about it and- and yeah."

"When?" Was all the younger could get out, an idea as to why Jisung has been avoiding him coming to mind.

"A few days ago.. about, the day you went out with Yeosang to dance."

Minho fell silent, replaying events from that day over in his mind.

How Jisung looked dazed when he'd come back for his phone, how Chan had begged for his life. The next day, Jisung had started avoiding him.

Without another word, he got off of the bathroom floor and walked towards the stall door, unlocking it and swinging it open. His eyes widened when he nearly ran into Jisung, stopping him from leaving.

"H-how long have you been there?"

"Long enough, I'd say."

"Is that really why you're avoiding me? Because I'm Lee Know?" Jisung fell silent, "it's a simple question that requires a simple answer, Jisung."

The younger avoided eye contact as he nodded shallowly, causing Minho's heart to ache.

"Minho please don't be upset about this-"

"Listen to yourself Chris! I'm an emotional nineteen year old with the mindset of a five year old, and i can't be upset? I can't?" Chan reached out for him, but Minho backed away with a hiccup. He'd gotten close enough to Jisung that he ran into him, but he didn't care enough to pull away.

"Minho, baby, calm down," the boy shook his head with a whine.

"How? How am I supposed to calm down?" He asked, facing his boyfriend, "you're avoiding me literally because of who I am!" Jisung fell silent again, "the name I go by doesn't change me Han." he whined, "I'm still the same person.. And despite what most people think, I have feelings too! I'm a fucking human being."

He had tears in his eyes, seeing Jisung nervously bite his lip. The younger felt bad, he really did.

Minho didn't deserve to be treated like this over such a stupid reason - well, nor at all, but you get the point.

"What, is Lee Know too creepy for you? Because I've had the biggest fucking crush on you for longer than you've known me?" He was genuinely confused, "or is it that you think I only want you for your looks? Is that it? Up until recently, I haven't even tried to hide my identity! People call me Lino all the time!"

"I realize that."

"Then why," he muttered, "why does that make you avoid me?"

"I dont know hyung," he answered honestly. "Maybe I just thought it was too much to comprehend at the time."

"Y-you could've talked to me about it?? I would've thrown aside my immense fear of confrontation to talk about it," he sighed, wiping his face (which, again, did little to nothing). "But instead of that, no, I was stuck with the thoughts of not being good enough. Thinking you're bored of me, which is probably true, and all because of a nickname?"

"Minho please, believe me, you're definitely good enough and I'll never be bored of you, I promise! I know I haven't been acting like it b-but recently it finally hit me and what I've been doing is wrong, I realize that - and I'm extremely sorry."

He held the boys face gently and wiped away more tears that had fallen, finally looking into his eyes.

Minho hated how much love he saw hidden in them.

"I love you so much, no matter what name you go by. I really mean it Min, I really love you."

Minho stared at him in silence for a bit before hugging him sadly, just glad to finally feel the boy in his arms again and hugging him back.

"I miss you Sung," he sniffled, to which the younger opted to give his waist a gentle but reassuring squeeze.

"I miss you too," he pulled away slightly to fix the elders hair and kiss his forehead. "I'm really sorry."

"But it hurts," Minho whispered. "N I dont know if I can fully forgive you yet. I probably will, but not now."

"Take as much time as you need," he wiped away even more tears.

Minho giggled weakly, sniffling, "I don't know why they won't stop.." He wiped his own tears as Jisung laughed at him and shook his head. Chan smiled at them from the sidelines, glad to see them physically together again. He didn't want them apart.

"Well, I'll let you get back to class," Minho kissed his boyfriend's cheek. "I just- I need to talk to Channie hyung for a bit." Seeing Jisung about to protest, he continued, "alone. Please? We'll be there soon."

The youngest sighed in defeat, nodding and sparing the eldest a glance before he left the bathroom to go back to English class.

Minho turned to Chan, "you know I'm gonna be upset about this for a while, right?" The elder nodded, "and you're going to tell me these things sooner?" The elder nodded again, and the younger sighed, opening his arms.

"But thank you anyways, for telling him something I couldn't have done myself." He smiled, "give me a hug hyungie~"

Chan rolled his eyes playfully and hugged the boy, only for Minho to pinch his side.

"Ow!"

"Deserved."

"Devil bunny."

"You love me," they hugged normally this time, both with content smiles on their features.

"Shut up."

They stayed in their current position for close to a minute before detaching, walking to class in a comfortable silence - plus the occasional times where Minho would thank him for something.
