minjoon walked down the hallway to the door of jisung's room. it was his day off but since he lived at the house he was there anyway and wanted to check on jisung now that his friends were gone.

he knocked softly on the door, tilting his head when jisung's opened it, his eyes looked red and puffy like he'd been crying, he had a stuffed bear under his arm and an oversized hoodie and the cutest fluffy socks, wiping his cheeks with the sleeve. he looked so hurt

"jisung..." minjoon whispered, giving him a sympathetic look.

jisung scrunched his nose up as his eyes filled up with tears again, unable to hold it in and not breakdown again.

minjoon walked into the room, closing the door behind him and taking jisung's arm, pulling him to the bed, he sat down with jisung and put his arm around him, letting the younger shift closer to him.

jisung wasn't expecting that at all but he wasn't complaining, he leaned against minjoon, sniffling as he covered his face with the sweater paws, crying softly, the comfort only made it worse, he wanted to be held, and now he was being held he couldn't help but cry it was frustrating but minjoon didn't seem to mind that he was so emotional.

"what happened?" minjoon asked softly, looking at jisung.

jisung shook his head and rubbed his eyes, leaning his head on minjoon's shoulder, he didn't want to admit that finding out about minho flirting with felix hurt him so much, he felt weak and pathetic about it.

"did he try something on your friend?" minjoon asked softly, hoping minho didn't do that to him.

jisung didn't need to answer, the way his head lowered and the heartbreaking little sobs that came from him made it obvious. minjoon had known minho for years, but that didn't stop him from having his own opinion about what minho was doing.

"can you wait here for a second? I know you want to spend time with minho but i'm not working right now, i'll watch a movie with you, or we can go down to the kitchen and bake cookies, or go to the pool okay? i just need to go take care of something."

jisung smiled through his tears at the thought of doing something fun with someone and nodded quickly, holding the bear in his lap as he took a deep breath, trying to focus on that instead of what he was feeling.

minjoon got up and walked out into the corridor, the kind look on his face dropping as he walked towards minho's office, he knocked on the door, not bothering to wait before he opened it, catching minho's attention.

"minjoon?"

"i want to apologise in advance for what i'm about to do."

"huh?"

"you think what you're doing is okay? you think you can deprive this kid of any kind of emotion and expect him to behave perfectly and be content locked in his room all day? you think you can give him a few games and a tv and he'll be perfectly happy for you to use him like he's nothing them ignore him completely?"

"he-"

"i'm not done talking," minjoon snapped back, shocking minho into silence.

minjoon had never talked back to him before, and he had never been disrespectful.

"you seriously need to pull yourself together minho, you may have brought him here to use for sex but what you're doing is emotional abuse, it goes too far when he's sobbing in his room because he feels dirty and disgusting because you know how to make him give in to you and make him feel like it was his idea, it's vile and wrong. you hurt him by going after felix, you hurt him a lot. i'm not worried about getting fired, we both know you need me minho, i understand you more than anyone else could and nobody could do this job like i do, you won't kick me out of this position so i'm going to tell it like it is. you need to think about what your intentions are, you can't be all possessive when someone so much as looks at him then ignore him, if you think that will keep him loyal to you you're stupid. take some time to think about how you treat this person because we both know how mad you'll get when he comes to me for comfort and i have my hands all over your kitten, because i know for a fucking fact i'd treat him a million times better than you do, but i won't use him, because unlike you, i don't treat people like objects to claim for my own pleasure. just sit back and watch because he will come running to me when you push him too far."

minho was completely shocked, he didn't get a chance to reply before minjoon slammed his office door shut and went back to jisung's room.

minjoon was shaking slightly as he walked down the corridor, he didn't regret what he said, he kind of blacked out a little and let his mind do the talking, he had never spoken to minho like that before but he couldn't sit back and watch jisung's be treated so badly, especially when he could see how much he was hurting. all the boy wanted was a hug, some praise, to be told he did good, some activities to make him feel important and minho just couldn't be bothered.

he stopped outside jisung's bedroom door and took a deep, shaky breath before putting a smile back on his face, walking inside.

jisung was sitting on his bed, playing with his bear's arm.

"what happened? i heard a door slam." he mumbled, looking anxious.

"don't worry, i just had to handle something, now how about a movie?"

jisung nodded quickly.

minjoon smiled as he saw the smile on jisung's face, he seemed so genuinely happy to have company, he was sitting next to minjoon, leaning against him ever so slightly, holding his hand.

minjoon glanced up at the camera in the corner, staring at it for a second, he knew minho would be watching, and he sincerely hoped the man could see the precious smile on jisung's face when he got something as small as a hand to hold.

jisung was staring at the screen as he ate the chips he got, he felt a lot better, minjoon was so nice to him when he wasn't working, it made him feel like he had a friend there, he didn't need minho to cuddle him, he didn't need minho at all.

minho stared at his screen, he could see how happy jisung looked and it pissed him off, he didn't know who he was more angry at, minjoon or himself.

he felt out of control and helpless, minjoon was right, he couldn't fire him from this job.

he needed minjoon to work for him, he needed jisung too, he didn't want minjoon's hands all over jisung, but the thought that jisung would be so much happier with minjoon than with minho stung, he didn't know why that thought hurt but it did, he couldn't ignore it, he didn't want jisung to go to minjoon, he wanted the boy to come to him, but every time he did minho pushed him away. the worst part was he didn't even know why he pushed jisung away.

he was confused and frustrated.
