"Food is ready!" Seungmin announced and went to Hyunjin's room. He twisted the door knob but it was locked.

"Why..?"

"Is the food ready?" Jisung walked out from his bedroom while drying his hair with the white towel.

Seungmin nodded and pointed to Hyunjin's door. "Is Hyunjin in here?"

Jisung raised both his shoulders. "Did you come here alone?"

"With Minho hyung."

"Then he might be there with Minho." the squirrel cheeks concluded as he walked to the kitchen and his mouth watered at the sight. Seungmin just gave the door a glance before joining him.

From the inside, Minho's hand was pressed against Hyunjin's mouth aggressively. The poor boy muffled his words and when they heard footsteps walking away, Minho let him go.

The taller breathed out, his chest went up and down rapidly. "You're kidnapping me!"

"Hyunjin I swear—" Minho sighed. "You were about to yell what I told you dumbass."

He gave Minho a narrowed glance, unsatisfied of how Minho didn't let him breathe for more than ten seconds. "I could die."

"Do you really want me to make you suffocate unti—"

"No." he quickly cut him off. "Back to the topic. So, you like guys?"

Minho went flustered. "N–no. I don't think so."

"But you said you have a crush on Seungmin?"

The male groaned and planted a pillow on his face. "I don't know."

Hyunjin lightly giggled at the response. Minho barely shows his emotions even towards his closest friends so when he's flustered like this, the taller thought it was cute. He silently watched as Minho planted his cheek on the pillow and stared off nowhere. Maybe, both of them were thinking about the same thing.

"He has a girlfriend," Minho muttered and Hyunjin nodded. "And... he's straight. I don't even know how he views... the people who..." his words trailed off but Hyunjin nodded again, understanding him.

"Maybe you need some times to figure it out? You just used the website, right? It can't be entirely true."

Minho remained silent. His lips lightly formed into a pout, making Hyunjin giggle again. "Hyung you're adorable like this."

"Gay."

The male laughed, shaking his head at that. "Hyung, if he's straight then you'll have to move on. You can't change someone's sexuality, you know."

"I know... I'm just confused. And the fact that we are housemates."

"That hurts." Hyunjin cringed. "Let's just eat and see how it goes. Maybe you just find him cute? Like, Seungmin's cute though. But both of you fight almost all the time I wonder how did you find out you like him."

"So much things happened, of course you don't know." the older muttered. Then he felt Hyunjin pulling himself off the bed, dragging him to the dining room. There, Jisung and Seungmin have already digged in. When they heard the door closing Jisung looked up with his full cheeks while Seungmin slowed down his munch, eyes went slightly wide under the soft locks that covered them.

Again, cute.

"Why's your hair disheveled?" The youngest among them asked as they settled down. Jisung stared at Minho, then Hyunjin, and back to Minho, blinking his eyes multiple times.

"How do you eat with your hair covering your eyes?"

Seungmin scowled at Minho's question, unsatisfied. His one finger brushed the strands of hair to remove them but it kept going down. He closed his eyes when feeling the hair almost getting in and did it multiple times. Jisung laughed while watching his failed attempts.

"Stop moving." The squirrel cheeks said and Seungmin complied, turning to him. Jisung brushed his hair to the side and when it was done the younger shook his head. "Seungmin!"

"It's uncomfortable!"

Hyunjin got up and disappeared into his room. Shortly after he returned and went beside Seungmin, holding him to stop his movements. Silently, the taller clipped a brown hair clip on the right side and a white one of the left side. "There."

"Hyunjin!"

"Eat in peace, Minnie." The taller snickered. Seungmin glared at him and his cheeks were puffed with air before he continued eating with dissatisfaction.

Minho's lips curled up as he took out his phone. "Seungmin," he called. Said guy looked up and that was when he heard a click sound. Dumbfounded, he slowly asked.

"Did you just...?"

"I shall make this as a collection." the oldest among them teased.

"Send that to me." Jisung said with his full mouth.

The poor puppy huffed in annoyance, "You're dead when we're home, hyung."
