Hidden Love | Minsung

☁️|24

~ Third Pov.

When Jisung hears the familiar voice of his best friend and at the same time that of his crush, every muscle in his body tenses.

This can't be true, why now, why today?!

Panic-stricken, this thought ran through his head and his legs began to tremble, his back still turned to Minho, who was now only a few small steps away from the brown-haired boy.

The plan to avoid Minho for the next few years until graduation had failed, although Jisung knew from the start that this stupid and ill-conceived plan would never work.

Jisung's eyes went to Felix, who also looked at his friend and then his gaze passed Jisung so he could look Minho in the eye.

Felix recognized the black-haired guy's distraught face and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

With a sigh, Felix closed his eyes and then turned to Jisung, who was still standing rooted to the spot in front of him. One look was enough to make Jisung know what he had to do.

"Well... I guess you two have something to discuss." the freckle-faced boy clasped his boyfriend's upper arm and then dragged him away from Minho and Jisung so the two could finally have a clarifying conversation.

The brown-haired boy looked resentfully after his friend for a moment longer, since thanks to him he had to talk about his feelings for Minho now and there was no way Jisung could get around that.

With no other choice, Jisung finally turned around and looked into the brown sea of his counterpart, his eyes fixed directly on Jisung.

Jisung had to gulp at the sight. He couldn't quite interpret whether Minho was feeling angry, sad, or any other emotion right now. The younger one just looked at nothing.

"Jisung I-" but before the older could even begin to speak, Jisung's panic took hold and he started talking like a waterfall.
"I'm sorry Minho. I shouldn't have kissed you and I know you hate me for it now and I'm really sorry. I just couldn't help it. I tried everything to get you out of my head but it just didn't work. That's why I wanted to kiss you at least one first and last time before I finally gave up my feelings fo-"

"Jisung." after the older one listened to the younger one's speech and slowly lost patience, he interrupted him and Jisung looked up at him, with a surprised look.

Minho's voice sounded serious and the younger would be lying if he didn't think Minho might snap at any moment now.

The black-haired boy took a step toward Jisung, who began to tremble with fear. But not because Minho looked scary or scared him, but because he was afraid of what would become of them after this conversation.

He didn't want to lose his best friend and especially not because of some stupid feelings that Jisung couldn't turn off. He just wanted to forget Minho.

While he knew that Minho liked him as well, he was afraid that it was all just a phase.

"Jisung have you ever actually thought about how I actually feel?" Minho spoke softly and quietly that only made the younger worry more. He had never seen the older one so calm.

Somewhat confused, Jisung tilted his head, not quite knowing what the older meant by his statement.

Minho sighed in exasperation, running his hand through his raven black hair, genuinely not knowing how much more obvious he had to make it for Jisung to finally understand.

"Jisung I-" Minho paused. Looking into his best friend's beautiful brown eyes as he did so, looking at him with nervousness.

Jisung's heart began to pound in his chest, already knowing what the older guy was going to say. But he didn't want to hear those words come out of his mouth. He didn't want to hear those three words, knowing that he could never forget his feelings for Minho after that.
