Falling Blossoms

Jisung wasn't ready for the sight he saw upon entering the bunker. Felix took his brother into another room and all Jisung could feel was sadness. He nearly dropped the small hand full of groceries he was carrying when he saw Minho being held up by his younger brother. The way Minho desperately gasped for air, the way he only wanted his brother. His trauma runs so deep, it's almost to mortifying to watch.

"What was that?" Jisung carefully asked Seungmin who was standing with a solemn expression. Snapping him out of his thoughts. Seungmin had been spending a lot of time with Hyunjin in the motel recently that it was a weird sight to see all of them in the house. Jisung felt nearly uncomfortable knowing Hyunjin was still residing in the same area as him. yet naturally his body propelled itself into another room whilst still listening to Seungmins explanation of what ever he just witnessed.

"That was Minho tunnel visioning. Something had to have happened, to set off his trauma. Cause when this happens all we can do it hope Felix can bring him to his senses. It's like an overload of emotion that had been bottled up came rushing out." Seungmin explained.

"Kinda like PTSD?" Changbin summed up, and Seungmin nodded. Jisung stiffened. it was similar to the last time he saw that. when Minho fell on top of him in the hallway. or the way he abruptly left the other night after their exchange of secrets. it made the youngers stomach churn that he could be the main reason Minho is struggling quite a bit for the last week.

seven days to be exact.

"Pretty close. But it works the same way. I never realized that the term tunnel vision does not accurately reflect what happens under stress. It's a little more complex than I had realized. Felix would have to explain it."

Jisung sighed listening to Seungmins reasoning. The younger both found it amazing they've managed to cope so long with him in this state. Jisung carefully walked away from Changbin and Seungmin who seemed to grasp more on the topic as it was his area of expertise.

Walkin into the bedroom Minho and Felix went into as he heard the muffled words.

"What if I hurt him Felix?" Minho hardly whispered out. Jisung knew eavesdropping wasn't ideal. He only knew that Lee Know was the notorious underground legend, who had more history and trauma then he ever let on. He already attempted to jump off a bridge once. He has come home with some of the most sinistering looks after having his ass either kicked or the one doing the kicking. Jisung simply couldn't figure out the older. They've kissed, not once, but thrice. it made Jisungs cheeks burn with embarrassment. The ass hole he wanted to avoid turned out to be someone who was just as lost in this world as he was.

"Hyung, why did you come home covered in bruises again. You promised you would stop getting into petty fights just to get hurt. That's not healthy for you or your sanity." Felix calmly sighed.

"What I do to my body is none of your concern Felix. I asked you to help me with this stupid emotional feeling. not be my therapist on how I should cope." Minho lashed out. Jisung stumbled back at the words.

emotional feeling? Did I do that to him? Actually make him feel things?

Jisung walked away quickly. he shouldn't have heard that. he knew Felix was an open book. but Minho was locked up with hundreds of chains binding him to his past. Jisung only knew about twenty-five percent of his life. and that was the underground life.

frankly the more he thought about it the more is pissed him off. the more he knew Minho being vastly different from the persona he created in the undergrounds. he was falling for a two-faced.

~~~~~~

Jisung was ready to give up and bite the bullet. He seriously wanted to know what his deal is. Minho has avoided him or more like he himself had avoided him since that night he showed up at two in the morning and it's been several more days now. But when he did attempt to talk to the older he avoids him like the plague. It was like their roles were reversed. Jisung did attempt to talk to Minho after his melt down. but got nowhere with it.
