After Hours I Minsung

Break at the Beach

Jisung stares down at his handheld game as the other boys talk. They had all split into two cars. Jisung, Minho, Felix, Chan, and Jeongin in one; the others are being driven by Hyunjin. "Jeongin, was my advice useful at all?" Minho asks.

"Huh? Oh, yes, Hyung! Thank you," the youngest says from Minho's right side. Jisung glances over from his left.

"Advice?" he asks.

"On how to get Hyunjin's attention," Jeongin responds. "In a less creepy way, how to approach my crush on him."

"I noticed how shy he was around Hyunjin, so I offered to help. Since you're thanking me, I assume it's going well?"

Jeongin purses his lips. "It's kind of slow, to be honest. But I keep him off the subject of Jisung, like you said."

Jisung frowns. "Oh...Jeongin, I-"

"Hey, it's okay. I'm not trying to say it's your fault or anything," the youngest quickly cuts in. "Hyunjin kind of has a thing for you."

"I'm sorry..."

"What for?" Jeongin laughs. "It's not your fault. Plus...we can't really you know..." he glances at Minho. "Help who we fall for." The student and dance both furrow their brows at the same time, giving the youngest a confused look. "You know. In general."

Jisung shakes his head before returning his attention to his game and comfortably resting his head on Minho's shoulder. "Felix, how's it going with Changbin?" the dancer asks. "You went on a date with him last week, right?"

"Yeah! Jisungie recommended an amazing restaurant," Felix says from the front. "The same place you two went on your date at."

Jisung widens his eyes but the dancer just smiles. "Oh, that's good. Did you two enjoy it?"

"Totally! Their steak was awesome and that wine-"

"Oh, the wine was good. Well, before I accidentally spilled it on Jisung," Minho chuckles, giving Jisung's thigh a gentle squeeze. He looks at the dancer's hand that stays there. He takes a deep breath and tries to not let it distract him as he plays. "How about that movie I recommended?"

"I loved it! How'd you know we'd live action movies?"

The dancer shakes his head. "Neither of you really strike me as the romance-loving type of people."

"Well, still. Thanks, both of you. For your recommendations," Felix says happily as he pulls out his phone and hands it to Minho to show off his date photos. Jisung smiles as he adjusts himself closer to see.

"I knew you'd look cute in that," the student coos happily. They stop at a photo of Felix on his phone, obviously taken at the time without his knowledge. "Doesn't he look good?"

"He really does," Minho hums. "You look cute, Lix."

Jisung grins when he hears Minho use the nickname. He subconsciously grabs onto the dancer's hand on his thigh. He tries to hide his smile when their fingers lock together. When he catches Felix's eye from the front seat, they give each other a knowing look. Felix glances at the hand and smirks before looking away.

"Whoa! This place is gorgeous!" Felix exclaims, raising his arms excitedly after he hops out of the passenger seat. Jisung groans and rubs his eyes as he slowly steps out, adjusting to the light. He doesn't even remember falling asleep.

"Okay, guys," Hyunjin says as they all begin to pull out their suitcases. "There's only four bedrooms and they all have double beds. So we should decide on who's gonna share."
