These days were not the greatest. It hurts him for avoiding his housemate after the small talk with his girlfriend. Even she asked him to talk it out between both of them, he refused to do that.

Seungmin didn't know what to do. He felt horrible, a horrible person who (probably) likes two people at the same time. He felt ashamed so the best thing he did was ignoring them.

Maybe that was not the best.

He worried Minho for going to work and returning home alone. He worried Yuri for lacking in the office but luckily the boss hadn't caught up to him yet. He worried both people for not eating well as he kept zoning out and locking himself in the bedroom.

Everyday that passed was dull, until Minho couldn't take it any longer.

That night Minho waited for Seungmin to return in the living room. Not only he's alone, but he's out late at night too. Minho had no idea what he does every night outside. There was no sign of drinking or smoking but that concerned him.

After turning off the all the lights, Minho sat on the couch, arms folded at sighed.

what have i done...

A few minutes later he heard the door unlocking. He stared at the dim light illuminating from the apartment's hallway and when Seungmin flicked the switch on, the puppy resembled guy flinched.

what the hell is he doing here—

"You're home?"

"Ah..." Seungmin closed his mouth back and nodded, tearing his gaze away from Minho. It had been exactly seven days since the last time they had a conversation. This is awkward.

He thought Minho would be mad, but the look on his face was nowhere near angry.

Seungmin fumbled with his shoes and felt the older's stare was on him. He couldn't even concentrate on taking them off until the bag on his shoulder dropped on the floor. The male paused and closed his eyes in embarrassment.

It was quite as heck, this gives him sudden anxiety.

why is he sitting there in the dark fuck what should i do are we going to talk can i just fly into my room or speed run or— wait i should just run–

"We need to talk."

well, rip.

The shoe ties finally loosen. Seungmin subtly glared at the non-living thing for not untying earlier.

He slowly stood up straight with his lips pursed and eyes travelled everywhere but Minho. "I'm sleepy."

"Tomorrow you have no work so sacrifice some time."

"Yes but—"

"Kim Seungmin."

Shivers ran down his spine. He slowly nodded his head and walked towards the older while gripping on the strap of his bag like a teenager getting ready to be scolded. When he stopped in front of the older, Minho spoke, "Sit down."

why do i feel like he's a father.

The younger complied. He made sure there was a small gap between them.

Minho let out a heavy sigh and leaned his head back, quite frustrated. "What is wrong with you?"

When he stayed silent, Minho said, "Did something happen between you and Yuri?"

Seungmin slowly nodded, his heart breaking inside. "I'm confused." his voice was barely a whisper.

"Did you talk?"
