Minho sighed, Jisung was so passive aggressive about the rejection and yet told everyone that he didn't mind it.

"Where's my charger!?" Jisung whined, searching his bag.

"It's here, " Minho picked it from his bed, it was in Changbin's bag. "I-"

"Thanks." Jisung snatched it and put his phone in charge and plugged his earphones in.

"Damn." Felix mumbled looking at the whole ordeal from the corner.

"I feel like I am invading their privacy being here." Changbin said awkwardly.

"Should we go and walk around?" Felix suggested.

Changbin nodded and they both slipped carefully, not bothering Minho or Jisung. The tension between the two was asking for a cold war.

"Jesus ,why are you behaving like this?" Minho asked, looking at Jisung.

"What?" Jisung looked at him. "I am literally not talking with you."

"You are being so passive aggressive bitch I don't need superpowers to know that you are angry." Minho sat on his bed.

"Now I can't be angry?" Jisung threw his earphones out on the bed.

"Of course you can just don't take it out on me. I am not your emotional trashcan." Minho snapped.

"Okay then shut up." Jisung pulled the covers on top of his head.

"I-" Minho was at his wit's end. "Stop sulking sung. I can't force myself to like you that way, can I?"

Jisung didn't response which made Minho feel a little bad for the younger. He didn't like him romantically but that didn't mean he doesn't care about him.

So, he decided to comfort him the way he wished someone would have comforted him years ago.

"We cannot help ourselves from falling in love and that's fine but we also shouldn't expect the person to love us back. It doesn't work like that, it didn't work like that for me too."

Jisung pulled the sheets a tiny bit down, only enough so he could look at Minho.

"Just like you confessed to me, I confessed to Chan as well but that was a few years ago." Minho smiled at the memory. "That was when we were both teens."

"YOU CONFESSED TO THE PRINCE??" Jisung gaped at him, that was a pretty daring thing to do.

Minho nodded, chuckling at Jisung's reaction.
"Hey, Chan isn't the type to be a jerk about it!"

"Still.." Jisung continued. "What if he thought you were weird..I mean he could have fired you for it."

"Well, I told him about my feelings because I was sure he wouldn't fire me for it. We are really good friends, you know? We have always been really good friends."

Minho stared at the night lamp beside his table as he talked to Jisung about it.

"I told him that I liked him a lot. He was shocked at first and even asked if I was being serious."

"What happened then?" Jisung was invested.

"What happened next is simply that I told him yeah I am serious and he very apologetically told me that he didn't feel the same way. That's it."

"Wha- did that not make things awkward between you too?" Jisung asked.

"Nope. We were best friends first so we could put that beside and move on." Minho smiled.

"You clearly haven't move on though," Jisung commented. "You still like him."

"You are missing the point, Jisung." Minho laughed at how Jisung was sitting, folding his legs looking like a small squirrel. "The point is , it's okay if the other person doesn't reciprocate your feelings. You can love them in secret and you can still be happy about it."
