blind to toxicity - minsung

chapter twenty

>>time skip 3 days<<<
it was now wednesday afternoon and minho was starting to get worried about jisung.

the younger had hardly been active in the group chat, only answering the odd text even though no one had seen him since the sunday evening.

the group had been to the park since having played mini golf ,but were saddened to see jisung hadn't turned up or even read the group's plan to go.

even though the day was pleasant, minho couldn't shake his concerns and so told chan he would be visiting jisung's house.

changbin and felix wanted to go with him, and so the three were now stood outside the han residence.

"changbin! felix! minho!" jia beamed as she opened the door, "please, come on in!"

the three smiled at dohyun who was sat with his laptop on the couch.

"felix!" he grinned as he stood himself up, "it has been far too long since you were last here."

dohyun gave felix a light hug before turning back to the group.

"to what do we owe the pleasure of your arrival, kids?"

minho rubbed his nape, he was hesitant to possibly make jisung's parents nervous.

"we haven't been hearing from jisung much, and wanted to check he's doing okay."

jia nodded with a small sigh, "if we're honest, we've noticed he seems a lot quieter these last few days, we were worried something might have happened."

dohyun gently squeezed her shoulders as he looked to the boys.

"he's in his room right now, if you could mention dinner will be ready in 15. and, of course, you three are more than welcome to stay."

the three boys nodded enthusiastically and thanked the pair before heading up to jisung's room.

when felix knocked and pushed open the door, there was jisung lying on his bed.

he was staring up at his ceiling wearing a pair of black sweat shorts along with his boyfriend's black vêtements hoodie.

"aww, ji." felix mumbled as he crawled onto the bed and into jisungs's arms.

"hey guys." jisung spoke quietly as he shuffled to sit against his headboard with felix.

changbin and minho sat opposite them as changbin gently tapped jisung's leg, "we really missed you at the park today."

"yeah." jisung frowned as he pulled his sleeves over his hands and slowly rubbed his eyes

"i haven't really slept the past few nights, i didn't wanna possibly bring the mood down. plus, me and jae had been facetiming so i didn't see the group chat."

"that's alright!" felix smiled as minho nodded.

"we're here now ji, plus dinner is in ten minuets and we've been invited to stay."

"really?" jisung smiled as he looked to minho, "you said yes right?!"

felix happily nodded and held jisung tighter in his arms.

"we'll go down now then," jisung grinned before jolting up slightly, "also! a new documentary episode came out today so we can watch that after dinner!"

*

the dinner had been very pleasant, the main conversation had been all about the mini golf tournament from sunday.

however, the mood had quickly switched when dohyun asked the three boys about won-jae.

"do you kids ever go to these concerts with jisung or won-jae?" he had asked before looking to his plate to pick up some food.

felix was more than confused to why jisung's mood had instantly switched.

changbin gently nudged felix from under the table, knowing his boyfriend didn't understand the situation.

"n-no, sir." changbin cleared his throat. "we don't normally like that whole atmosphere, especially on a school night."

minho chewed his lip as he noticed jisung's hands shaking.

"m-mum, i'm finished so i'm going back upstairs." jisung said quickly.

jia looked over her sons face and was concerned, it looked like jisung was about to cry.

"okay, darling." she slowly nodded before turning to the others. "if you boys want to go too, you're more than welcome."

jisung left the room in a hurry as the three boys turned to the parents, they quickly thanked them before leaving the room and running up the stairs to follow jisung.

minho walked over to jisung and instantly pulled him into a hug, feeling the younger ball his shirt in his fists as he tried to stabilise his breathing.

as felix slowly closed the door behind him, changbin quickly whispered that he would explain everything later.

"i-i cant do it, minho." jisung sobbed. "i hate him not being here."

"i know..." minho gently mumbled as he soothingly rubbed jisung's back, resting his chin on jisung's head.

after a few minutes, jisung had managed to calm himself down, trying to focus on his friends being with him now he wasn't alone.

felix had offered for them to watch the new episode, hopefully taking jisung's mind off the situation for a bit.

"are you sure you're alright watching this, min?" jisung sniffed. "you're not caught up..."

minho just laughed and cupped jisung's face to wipe the stray tears from his cheeks.

"as long as you don't cry over sad animals i'm happy to."

jisung chuckled lightly and smiled, "no promises."

halfway into the episode, changbin was sat
with felix between his legs as jisung had asked minho to do the same.

the two friends were back in the same position as saturday night, much to minho's relief.

"woah!" jisung suddenly yelled as a baby fox appeared on the screen. "it looks just like innie!"

they all burst into laugher as felix nodded. "jeongin really does look like a fox!"

jisung leant back to minho's chest as he gently lifted the older's arms around his shoulders, getting more comfortable as the episode progressed.

changbin smirked as he knew what was about to happen now the episode was nearing a specific section.

"min!" jisung awed, "this is my favourite part!"

changbin had explained to minho that the documentary would sometimes show a timelapse of a starry night.

minho watched as jisung leant his body forward, completely infatuated with what was on the screen.

"see, minho?" he beamed as he turned around, "isn't it the prettiest thing you've ever seen!?"

minho stared over jisung's face, smiling at the sparkly eyed boy in front of him.

"the prettiest."

felix looked at the pair before smirking at his boyfriend, it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to know that minho hadn't been focusing on the time lapse on the screen.

his answer was purely based on what, or more specifically who, he had been fawning over all evening.

changbin looked down and shared felix's smile as the pair cuddled up tighter, sitting in a comfortable silence as the episode continued.
