Dangerous Liaisons || HyunHo

Chapter 13

Breaking Hearts

***

Minho nervously paced around in his room, checking his phone from time to time. It was 6:30pm, and Chan was supposed to pick him up at 7pm. Minho was ready. He had taken his shower hours ago, had taken a lot of time choosing an outfit, trying different things before choosing a pair of black trousers, a light blue shirt and a white fluffy jumper ; as for his shoes, he wore simple black sneakers. He looked smart, pretty and cute at the same time. Anyone would have fallen for him as soon as they laid eyes on him.

Minho looked at the time again, but before he could see the numbers, his screen changed, and the name 'BangChan hyung' appeared, with the green phone that Minho slid with his finger to answer the call.

"Hey hyung," he said shyly.

"I'm outside," Chan said on the other side of the line.

"O-okay, I'm coming!"

Minho hung up and quickly left his bedroom. He gave his mother a quick peck on the cheek before heading to the elevator. The boy felt like the golden metallic cage was taking forever to arrive and then take him to the ground floor. As soon as the doors opened, Minho took a deep breath and walked out into the large hall. He quickly bowed at the receptionist before reaching the grand glass doors he pulled open, and stepped outside. And here was Chan, standing by his car, looking at his phone, one hand in his pocket. He was wearing a white shirt, a long black coat, and black trousers with a pair of white sneakers; his blond hair was kind of messy, giving a relaxed vibe to his very smart appearance. The night was falling as it was not spring quite yet, and the days, although getting longer, were still rather short.

Minho walked up to Chan, a small smile on his lips, and stopped in front of the other boy, before he shoved his hands in his own pockets.

"Hi," Minho said.

Chan looked up, shutting his phone and sliding it into the pocket of his coat. A wide smile spread on his face.

"Hi Minho," he replied. "You look beautiful."

A light tint of pink crept up Minho's cheeks at the compliment. "Thank you," he said softly. "You look good too."

Chan's smile never left his features. "Shall we?" He asked, gesturing towards his car. Minho nodded and climbed into the car, taking the passenger seat, while Chan settled in front of the wheel. He started the engine, and they drove away. The car ride was rather silent as Minho was feeling very nervous. He pulled the sleeves of his jumper over his hands, but quickly realised it was a mistake as it would damage the piece of clothing. Minho fiddled with his fingers, and felt his cheeks burn and his heart beat faster when his mind suddenly reminded him of Jisung. Why was he thinking of Jisung now, when he was going on his date with Chan…? Chan who was so kind to him, Chan who was so handsome, and talented. Chan, who wanted Minho to be happy… or so Minho thought.

But right now, Chan wasn't the one present in Minho's mind or heart. Right now, Minho had Jisung's eyes in his mind, his smirk, his fiery gaze, his touch, his voice, his lips… And that powerful vibe. Minho found himself missing Jisung, longing for him. He wished it was Jisung driving right now… he wished it was Jisung's hand on his thigh- wait…, what? Minho flinched, snapping out of his thoughts as he felt Chan putting his hand on Minho's thigh. The boy's body tensed, and he forgot about his soft jumper as he pulled on the sleeves again, covering his hands, his fingers fumbling with the fluffy material.

"Are you okay?" Chan asked, his eyes leaving the road for a second to look at the boy next to him. He looked back at the road, waiting for Minho to answer. "You spaced out for a moment, I called your name a few times."
