blind to toxicity - minsung

chapter nineteen

six of the eight friends were now sat on the couch in the living room, waiting patiently for jisung and hyunjin to finish up getting ready.

jisung was in one of the guest bedrooms as he looked over his outfit in the mirror.

he was wearing a pair of beige jeans with white air forces. he fixed the collar of his oversized white shirt that was peeking out from under a light green sweatshirt.

a few silver rings decorated his fingers as he turned his attention to his earrings.

after smiling at himself in the mirror, he lifted his phone out to take a few quick pictures.

once he'd sent them to his boyfriend, he smoothed back his hair and began walking down the stairs.

jisung dramatically walked into the living room and gestured his outfit to the group.

he knew he looked good. 

"cuteee!" felix awed as he walked over and noticed jisung's earrings, "wow, these are stunning!"

"thanks, lixie!" jisung blushed slightly, "jae bought me them for my birthday."

minho hadn't heard a word jisung had said, he was too busy trying to get his jaw off the floor.

changbin slyly nudged him as jisung had looked over to them.

"you look great." minho smiled as jisung held out his sweatshirt. "i tried to match the outfit to the activity." jisung laughed as he shook his head at himself.

hyunjin entered the room in a pair of blue jeans and a navy blue button up with yellow accents.

"sorry," he mumbled, "i couldn't decide how to style my hair."

"i think it looks great!" jeongin smiled as he gave hyunjin an assuring nod.

hyunjin gave him a small nudge in reply as he slumped his arms around jeongin's shoulders and looked over to chan.

"everyone good to go?" the oldest asked as everyone smiled and nodded.

they soon split into the two cars and began their journey to the mini golf centre.

nearing the golf course, jisung awed as he stared out the window. "wow i feel like i haven't been out to the city in weeks." he beamed, looking out to all the buildings.

chan gave his leg a small pat as he smiled to himself. "me neither, if i'm honest i prefer the more local places, like that cafe near school."

felix leaned forward and rested his chin on chan's seat, "that's just because they have good wifi for your laptop."

jisung quickly remembered something and turned round to changbin and felix.

"get this, me and chan were watching the nature show yesterday while i was getting my stuff, and minho didn't think the segment about the penguins was sad!"

felix's jaw dropped as he looked at jisung, "but they were so sad!?"

jisung lifted his arms as he nodded, "that's what i said!"

the rest of the journey in chan's car was filled with lively discussions about the documentary episode.

the atmosphere in minhos car however, could not be more different.

minho and jeongin were trying their best to drown out the sound of hyunjin and seungmin still arguing over the winning order.

"look," minho finally sighed as he lifted a hand from the wheel into his hair, "the order will be jisung, changbin, me, chan, jeongin, felix, and then you two."

seungmin rolled his eyes with a smirk. "you're just upset you can't help jisung swing a golf club like couples do in movies."

hyunjin burst into laughter as he clapped his hands.

minho scoffed  as he tried to ignore seungmins comment, "how far is it, innie?"

"just on this left," the youngest pointed to the car in front, "just there, where chan is turning."

minho nodded and smoothly turned the wheel to park up next to chans black car.

he called for everyone to pile out as he switched off the engine.

"get ready to lose, min." felix teased as he held onto jisung's hand and dragged him away to the golf centre's entrance. 

minho only shook his head with a smile as he felt chans hand on his shoulder.

the pair followed the others through the entrance as they were all beyond excited to begin the game.

***

jisung, to no one's surprise, had won the game. he had managed to putt 6 holes-in-one out of the 18 holes they played. 

nobody had expected jeongin would end up in second place, but the main surprise was that there was a 4 way tie for last between minho, seungmin, hyunjin, and chan.

jisung hadn't stopped laughing at the losing 4 as they were currently sulking after being so confident they would make the top 3.

as jisung wiped a tear out his eye, seungmin bumped jisung's shoulder lightly.

"well, this just means we have a reason to come back and have a rematch."

jisung gave him a small smile as the others were still defending their golf skills.

chan gave jisung's hand a small pat before the pair stood up to collect the drinks from the cafe's counter.

everyone at the table stopped their conversation as jisung's phone began to vibrate on the table.

as changbin took notice of the caller ID, he felt his body tense. 

once the call came to an end, he looked anxiously around the table.

"have him and won-jae spoke since yesterday? he knows jisungs out with us, right?"

the friends only looked at each other as no one had mentioned won-jae to jisung since saturday afternoon.

"hi hi!" jisung called as he placed the drinks down on the table, he was about to sit down when he lifted up his phone and saw the missed call. "oh sorry," he looked to his friends as he scratched his head, "i'll just call him back and check he's alright."

"i'll come with!" felix smiled as he stood himself up , "i need some fresh air anyway." he took his best friend's hand as they walked out the cafe.

after a few minutes of silence, seungmin sighed and turned to the group.

"won-jae can't be mad at jisung. even if jisung didn't say he's out with us, it's not like won-jae could have expected him to stay alone the whole week."

almost no time had passed before they heard the bell on the door ring, as felix and jisung rejoined the group at the table.

"everything alright ji?" hyunjin asked.

jisung nodded. "jae is all settled with his parents, he's jealous we're out at mini golf though." he smiled as minho felt his body relax.

"so," felix beamed "where are we going next?!' he excitedly squeezed jeongins arm while looking at chan.

"maybe there's a picnic basket in my car." chan shrugged as changbin pointed a finger at him.

"i was wondering why we couldn't order food here!" he laughed, "are we going to that park jisung pointed out before?"

chan nodded as jisung's eyes sparkled. "ah i was hoping we would! it looked so pretty."

minho couldn't help but smile at jisung before clasping his hands together, "then it's settled, let's go!"

everyone finished up their drinks and made their way back to their respected cars with nothing but excitement filling them as they started back on their journey.
