our secret [ minchan ]

ch. 3

"what do you mean, your cousin?" minho raised his eyebrows suspiciously at felix. at the same time he tries to find any resemblance between the both of them. the chan in question actually doesn't look that much older than felix and he doubted if that guy is even australian.

his english alphabets writing was really pretty, but what does that have anything to do with whether if that man's australian or not.

"he's one of my hundreds of cousin, the one that flew away from australia to continue his study" felix took minho's cup and took a sip. "it's a long story"

"make it short" jeongin said while taking another sip.

felix sighed, "for some reason, my aunt went to new zealand that day and didn't find him anywhere there and the best part is, the university he's supposed to study in said he dropped out halfway through the semester. he's lucky he's that one favourite child and that's one of the reason why he's still alive after having the courage to call his mom to finally tell her he's somewhere safe and she doesn't have to worry. he never really said where he is though. but i know he's somewhere around here because he contacted me every now and then"

click.

minho then lowers his phone and starts typing out something.

"what did you just-" before felix could finish what he's supposed to ask, his own phone starts ringing.

chan hyungie <3

he turns on speaker mode and starts to speak , "hello?"

"hey where are you? are you okay? are you hurt? tell me where are you so i can go and find you now." the voice at the end of the line sounds genuinely worried. felix frowned.

"chan hyung, are you okay?" felix said. suddenly minho chuckles a bit.

"well i was , until someone texted me saying they're holding you hostage and ask me for 1 millions dollars or they'll do something bad to you !" chan said at the other end felix automatically turns his head to minho , who is now rolling on the floor laughing.

"that was stupid, honestly. this is why you can't give your numbers out to any stranger , even if you think they're cute." felix said , rolling his eyes , while of course , chan couldn't see it.

"wait. hold on. i've never told you anything about me giving out my number to anyone though?" the male sounds really confused but felix just decided to laugh it off as if it's nothing. "wait, so was the person that texted me actually someone i know? was it you? and weren't you supposed to be in australia right now?"

at this point , everyone else except felix are already bursting out laughing.

"hyung , first off , do you think im that jobless to be sending to text pranks or anything like that? and also , im back here for now. got some stuff to settle down."

silence.

"you little—"

"calm down~ i'll explain it to you later. for now, do you want to come over? but my friends are here too, though," felix said. "including the cute guy you met at starbucks."

"ehhhh???" chan was certain the only person knows about the 'cute guy' is bambam and that is because he was there when the minho guy came in for coffee. "actually, nevermind. i'll just go to your house tomorrow."

"alright" felix said before hanging up.

felix glared at minho. "hyung"

"what? i was just playing—" minho's words was cut off when they heard a notification coming from his phone. he looked at it and his expression seems to be amused.

Cute Barista
that was *not* funny

leeminho
oh is that so, mister cute barista?

there was silence for a bit. reply to me you fucker, minho thought.

Cute Barista
yes. don't do that ever again.

leeminho
ooh you're using periods,,
asserting dominance, i see

😚
seen

"you little sh-" minho whispered to himself. he can't believe he fake flirted and got left at seen. at seen, for god's sake!

"who's that?" hyunjin asked. good god, minho definitely forgot they're still here all this time.

"just..." minho glanced at felix before continuing, "...somebody"

—

"i'm going to the convenience store. you want anything?" minho said before picking up his keys.

"you're going again?" jeongin said. he'd paused whatever kdrama he's watching on the phone.

the older nodded. "need to get some chips or something. this house is too healthy for my own good."

jeongin chuckled. "yeah okay. buy me some of those microwaveable fried rice. im craving."

"you shouldn't be eating rice at night, you know?"

"says the person that thought this house is too healthy," jeongin rolled his eyes before going back to his phone.

"fine," minho said, finally walking out of the door.

it was rather chilly that night. never mind that, this dark alley is scarier than he remembered. why does everything seems off about this alley tonight? he uses this path to the convenience store almost everyday.

then suddenly, there was a man, quite built if minho was to be honest, standing in front of him. "hey there pretty."

huh.

minho scoffed, "if you think i'm pretty. there might be something wrong with your eyes." he tried moving a bit to the side but the guy in front of him kept blocking the way.

the guy laughed, probably drunk. he also started being touchy as he touched minho's shoulder with the tip of his finger.

"don't be like that, pretty boy. i can give you anything you want but in return, you have to do—"

before the drunken man got to even finish his sentence, it got interrupted by a punch to his face by a man in a black hoodie. minho can't figure out who it is because of the lack of light, but he's certain that he smelled this perfume before.

"why are you bothering him, huh?" the man in hoodie open his arms, as if he's protecting minho behind him. his words are slurring a bit, probably a bit drunk too.

the buff guy steps back. "you little- just wait until i get my turn," he said, definitely angry, before walking away.

before minho could open his mouth to thank the man that saved him, the man passed out right then and there, causing minho to panic a bit.

"what the fuck"
