9.

Months passed as the two apartment mates grew closer, their friendship blossoming, even though they had their moments when they argued about the most trivial things, like this one time Seungkwan was keeping the groceries in the kitchen cabinets and Mingyu had helped the younger commenting about how he was shorter than him, that had tiggered the younger who had said he wasn't short, the older was too tall and that it was his fault, after arguing for a while Mingyu had given in and let the younger believe what he wanted to, arguments like these were very common for them but beside those they had built a really beautiful friendship, which Mingyu was really proud of.

Seungkwan had gotten comfortable even around his friends, and in turn his friends adored the younger and spent maybe more time with him than they spend with Mingyu himself.

The younger had also made his own friends who visited them from time to time, one of the two was in  Seungkwan's class, Hansol and the other was a year younger than them but was already in college as a dance major, Chan.

Currently, both of them were sitting in the older's room, as Mingyu was working in editing the video for his assignment and Seungkwan was just laying on the older's bed keeping him company.

They were supposed to go out with the older's friends but Mingyu still had a lot of work to do thus they had to give up the plan and stay inside.

The silence was broken by the younger's phone ringing, making him jump from the sudden notice, ke quickly picked up the phone and walked out of the room, in order to not disturb the older who was still working on his assignment.

"Hyung", he answered, closing the door behind him.

"Seungkwan-ah what if that gross giant has work to do, you can come with us", It was Jihoon on the other side.

"Hyung but I am promised Mingyu hyung to keep him company", the younger mumbled, he really wanted to go as well, but in the spur of the moment when the older had declared he won't be able to join his friends, Seungkwan had promised to keep him company instead of going out.

"It's okay just run out of the house, that dumb giraffe won't even find out", Jihoon replied laughing at his own comment.

"Hyung I am gonna go talk to Mingyu hyung, okay?", Seungkwan asked as he turned around to go back to the room from where he came.

"That's was the total opposite of what I just said but okay, let me know whether or not you are coming, okay?", Jihoon replied, hanging up as soon as he was done, not letting the younger reply.

"Okay", Seungkwan mumbled to himself as he made his way inside the older's room.

"Who was it?", Mingyu asked, glancing up at Seungkwan and then back at his laptop.

"Jihoon hyung", Seungkwan replied as he sat down on the older's bed.

"You are not going", Mingyu's voice was firm, indicating there was no room for any type of argument.

"Why?", Seungkwan whined dragging the word, making Mingyu look at him, the older's pointed look shutting him up.

"Either ask him to pick you up or you are not going", Mingyu said as he went back to his work, they were supposed to meet his other friends as the mall, which was considerably away from their apartment and now that he was not going, he couldn't let Seungkwan go on his own.

"Why hyung, you know he won't", Seungkwan whined again, as he looked away from the older when the older face him this time.

"Then you are not going", the older said, his voice holding finality.

"Now that Seungchoel hyung calmed down, you are at it, I am not a child, I don't why you guys can't understand that", Seungkwan exclaimed, his voice louder than Mingyu has ever heard it, as he stormed out of the older's room.
