𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐎𝐟 𝐀 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐥 ♡ MinSung

Ch. 53

Minho laughed along with his friends, trying his best not to cry. They were currently in Seungmins walk-in closet messing around with clothing.

Minho wasn't as happy as he looked though. He had too many problems that he couldn't get his mind off of.

Every time he saw Jeong-Hoon and Jisung interact, Jisung seemed to get more and more hurt.

He had seen them in the courtyard yesterday, Jeong-Hoon had told him to watch.

Originally the taller hadn't told Minho what he was about to watch, but as soon as Jisung walked through, he knew what was about to go down.

He couldn't help but feel that Jeong-Hoon was doing it on purpose. He never even bothered Jisung when Minho wasn't around.

He probably knew, but if he did, he wasn't saying anything about it.

Minho knew things were bad, but even more than that, he knew things would only go down hill from here. Everything was so much better before.

Minho would give anything to have Jisung in his arms again, even if he couldn't tell him about his true feelings for the boy. He wished things had just gone so much better...

Maybe if he had told Jisung when he had the chance, they could have lived happily ever after, hiding their relationship until Minho graduated, then Minho could cut off his father from his life.

It was possible, but that didn't mean that the idea wasn't unrealistic and very hard to achieve.

Plus, either way, Jisung deserved way more than Minho would ever be able to offer him.

Minho sensed someone staring at the back of his head as he stood zoning out into space by the entrance to the closet.

He turned around to see Seungmin staring at him while he sat perched up on the side of his own bed.

Seungmin was from well off parents, not nearly as wealthy as Minho and Chan's father, but still. It was probably a good thing though, because Seungmin grew up with two very in-love parents that always made time for both their sons.

Jeongin and him were brothers, Seungmin being one year older. They still lived with their parents-- considering they were still both in high-school, but their mother and father would both still be at work at this time.

"What?" Minho asked him, and for a moment he only kept staring, as if he were trying to understand something.

"You look.." he paused, choosing his words carefully, "Distant." He nodded, agreeing with himself.

"I'm not. I was just thinking." Minho said taking a step back from the closet to talk to Seungmin farther away from the rest if the group.

They were all in the large closet currently reeking havoc on the neatly organized shelves. Minho sat down on the bed next to Seungmin with a small sigh.

"Really." He said unconvinced.

"Yes really." Minho looked down at his feet, "It's not important."

They both watched as their four friends laughed and giggled, seeming to have much more fun than either of them.

"What would you say if we invited Felix back over? Not Jisung though... just Felix." Seungmin asked, looking iver intently.

Minho kept his eyes down, not really wanting to look at his friend, "I don't care at this point. It's not like I'm talking to Jisung anymore."

"So you admit that you bully Jisung?" Seungmin asked, slightly surprised.

"Okay, first of all, I don't think that was much of a secret, and second of all, I don't bully him anymore. I haven't talked to him for two painful weeks." Minho said.

"Sorry my bad. But you'd be okay if Felix started to hang out with us more?" He repeated.

"I guess so. I probably wouldn't stick around because it would be hella awkward, but I'm not going to stop you guys if you want to start hanging out with Felix. He seems like a cool guy."

Seungmin nodded, "If you're not bullying Jisung anymore, I'm sure it would be fine for you both..  right?" He asked as more of a question.

Minho simply shook his head and muttered something along the lines of, "Doesn't mean it never happened."

"Hm?" Seungmin leaned closer for Minho to repeat it, as he hadn't quite heard, but he shook his head.

Seungmin sighed, knowing he wouldn't get an answer. Minho was always very closed off about his feelings..
