Tensions filled the air. Hyunjin was tongue tied. He wanted to tell Jisung, but not disappointing Minho. How does he do that?

"What's happening?" Minho's tired voice greeted their ears. The boy just woke up from his short nap due to the noises they made earlier. When seeing Hyunjin, his eyes slightly went bigger.

"Minho–"

"Hyunjin," he cut off Jisung's sentence with his eyes narrowed towards the said guy.

Oh boy, Jisung did not like this. Minho and Hyunjin were hiding something and he did not like even the slightest thing about it.

Before either of them could say anything Seungmin walked in, "I bought some snacks in case if Jisung's cookies are burnt," he said, oblivious with the tension around them. "You haven't put them on the tray yet?"

Minho returned to the room, wanting to avoid everyone if he could. But before he closed the music room's door Hyunjin slipped in and locked it. "Minho, listen."

"No Hyunjin. Now he knows," he said flatly while curled himself on the couch. He remembered how Jisung looked at him earlier. "He must feel betrayed."

Hyunjin feels guilty washed over him. He crouched down in front of Minho. "Please, hear me out first."

When there was no response, he continued. "There's a woman looking for you and he described a cat that's exactly like you. I accidentally told Jisung that it looked like you, I'm sorry I'm just afraid."

Minho looked down to his hands, feeling his emotions got mixed.

"Can I ask?" Minho nodded. "Did you run away from someone?"

Bingo.

He lowered his head more but Hyunjin quickly coaxed him, "Hey, hey it's fine I'm not mad."

"But Jisung will.." he muttered, tears gathered at his eyes but he quickly wiped it away. "Will he hate me?"

"I'm sure not. He might be upset a bit but I'm sure you have your reasons. As long as you tell him," Hyunjin reassured him. "Do you want to tell me now or wait for him?"

"Wait for him."

The other nodded, "Alright, when he finished baking we'll tell him. But make sure to tell him everything about the woman, can you?"

Minho heaved a sigh. This is what fears him. "I'll try."

"Cookies!" Seungmin called the two people inside the music room. "Cookies cookies before I eat them all~"

"Damn you monster." Hyunjin opened the door, bringing Minho out. Minho timidly followed behind Hyunjin. He was not ready to face Jisung yet. He did not want to see him upset, ever.

Hyunjin brought Minho closer to Jisung and left the two together. He then drag Seungmin to the couch, turning on the television. Minho's eyes widened. As he was about to run towards Hyunjin, Jisung gave him a cookie, "Be careful, it's hot."

"Thanks." He avoided eye contact. Jisung put some of the cookies in a jar and kept it on the counter while bringing a bowl to the music room.

"I'm gonna continue working on the song, do you want to join?"

Why he doesn't look upset at all?
