Yearning

It was kinda hard to believe its been 14 days without Minho. Not a trace of him to be found. He really knew how to stay under the radar. Felix was mildly upset still that his brother choose to leave but also respected the decision. Felix really hasn't talked to anyone either since then. It was hard to believe how open Jisung had become with Minho and how souless and empty he felt without the older around. Guilt began sinking itself into him. He couldn't blame Felix for it either. Jisung knew he was partially the cause of him to leave. His clinginess got the best of the younger. His insecurity of losing someone showed itself and now Minho has been nowhere. Jisung couldn't even text or call to see if he was okay.

It was hard being in the same room that was occupied by two people even if it was for a couple weeks. Jisung would walk in, the bed still perfectly made and his scent still lingered.

When Jisung felt like he missed him, not really knowing why, he would look at his sketch books. He wanted to find the older, convince him to come back. He couldn't explain himself why he felt drawn. As of right now he was sitting on Minhos bed with Dal petting the feline contently as it purred. There were days everytime Jisung walked in the room she would look confused simply wondering where Minho was.

Jisung could relate. The older had made such a statement to his room that it was almost wrong being in that room alone.

Jisung heard a knock on the door, before the nob started turning.

"Jisung?" Chans voice asked curiously.

"Yeah..." Jisung mumbled softly not taking his eyes off the kitten who was nudging itself into the crook of his arm purring.

"You okay? You didn't even stop to come eat cheese cake. You never say no to cheese cake." Chan stated leaning by the doorframe.

"I'm not hungry." Jisung lied, he was hungry, starving even but he just didn't know what to feel anymore. With Minho gone, he felt the anxiety eating away at him, old habits started seeping in and soon he stopped caring for himself. He had lost some weight which was alarming for the other people living in the bunker, because he felt it was his fault he drove minho away from the only family he had... that damned accident of an episode caused this.

"Don't think so hard Jisung. It wasn't your fault." Chan suddenly spoke making Jisung realise that tears began pricking his eyes and to finally notice Chan was by his side with open arms.

"I-"

"Jisung... I know you well enough. You feel at fault for Minho leaving. You feel at fault for driving Felixs brother away. Thats not the case at all Jisung." Chan calmly said pulling himself away and sit himself against the headboard. He gestured the younger to lay by his side and without hesitance Jisung did just that. With a small oof and a couple shuffles Jisung curled in on himself and what felt like suffocating Dal as it meowed shiimying its way out of the boys arms staring hard before sauntering away towards the end of the bed and curled up.

Jisung watch as Chan pulled his cell phone out clicking links and photos popped up. His first reaction was curious but now he was outright surprised. Minho was in the photos.

Pushing himself up, attempting to take the olders phone yet the phone was pulled away. He pouted. He was desperate, and it showed. He miased even the mere sight of Minho and it was slipping through his grasps as he pouted.

"Hyung!" Jisung drastically exclaimed reaching for his phone. "How?"

"Jeongin."

Jisung raised a brow at his answer. What did that have anything to do with Minho.

"He's with Jeongin." Chan restated.

"I didn't know you still interacted with him." Jisung mumbled quietly. They haven't seen Jeongin in awhile either. He didn't live with them persé but he was apart of the group. He would stop by all the time and then suddenly he fell off the face of the earth.

"Yea, alot has happened. He was kicked out of his house 7 months ago I think."

"But how does he know Minho?" Jisung curiously asked as Chan finally gave Jisung the phone to see the older.

"I guess Minho frequently went to the convenience store Jeongin worked at and well now he is staying with him."

"But Minho hates skinship how did he even manage this?" Jisung pouted looking at the photo. It was a selfie of the two in very close proximity. Minho with a solid blank look and Jeongin with his metallic smile. They looked happy.

"Jeongin also hates skinship, so they have something in common and knowing Minho he probably went with him out of protecting. He is young and out in the world alone. He didn't want to burden us so he kept us out of it." Chan explained to me.

"What an idiot."

Chan chuckled, as Jisung swipped more photos of Minho. He smiled happily at the screen seeing Minho giving a glare when his photo was being taken.

"I'm glad he's okay..." Jisung quietly said looking into the deep brown eyes that he somehow fell attracted to.

"Now that you know he is okay. Will you come eat?" Chan reasoned, Jisung simply nodded still looking at the phone admiring the older.

"You're like a love sick puppy. In this case squirrel. You have it bad for Minho."

Jisung's face heated up excessively to Chans comment, trying to hide any embarassment.

"Shut up! I don't!"

"If it helps Jisung, Minho won't stop talking about you. I guess Jeongin managed to get him to open up just abit." Chan said rolling off the bed and bolting for the door. He left Jisung there in disbelief. Complete and utter shock.

Did Minho really talk that much about me? Do I really mean something to him? I mean we've kissed before, we kinda got along in the most needed moments but enough to be considered more? Would that ever be true?

I really am a love-sick pup...
