Seungkwan, Soonyoung has pulled Seokmin out for a hang out seeing the happy-virus wasn't being himself lately.

"You guys really know how to cheer me up do you?" Seokmin chuckled.

"It's our job" Soonyoung smiled. "Now eat, angry cuckoo bird"

"Yah, we agreed to not use that nickname anymore" Seokmin playfully glared at him.

"Just eat" Soonyoung said.

"I wonder how the others are doing" Seungkwan mumbled.

"Maybe Jihoon finally confessed his feeling for the leader" Soonyoung said, his tone changing to a bittersweet one.

"Jihoon?" Seokmin placed his spoon of ice cream in his mouth before continuing. "Jihoon-ssi likes leader-nim?"

"That makes sense. No wonder he sticks to him 24/7" Seungkwan said.

Soonyoung's grip on his spoon tightened so hard his hand began to shake.

"Whoa whoa, hold on Hyung" Seokmin stopped his shaking fist. "It's not actually you like Jihoon hyung"

Soonyoung looked away.

"Wait, you do?" Seungkwan slammed his spoon on the table. "Spill the tea"

Soonyoung looked down at his ice cream bowl and took another spoon of ice cream. "I....." He sighed. "Yeah, you're right, I like Jihoon"

"But....." Seokmin paused. "How...How did you know he likes Seungcheol-ssi?"

"It's the way he looks at him" Soonyoung said. "Like....he's the brightest star shining in his eyes. Like he would give him the world if he could. Because behind that cold facade, I actually saw the way he looks at Seungcheol" He sighed, pushing his now melted ice cream in the middle of the table. "It's hopeless, forget it"

"Hey, it's okay hyung. There's plenty of fish in the sea you know" Seokmin tried to convince.

"There's no other fish more rarer than he already is, Seokminnie"

Seungkwan opened his mouth to speak, but was quickly cutted off by his phone ringing.

He glanced at the caller I.D as he picked it up. "It's Hansol" He signaled the two to keep quite as he put it on loud speak. "Sol-ah? Why'd you call?"

"Kwan, I'm afraid you three need to get back here"

"Why?" The three furrowed their eyebrows.

"Chan found Jisoo in the elevator unconscious, he's now awake but he's in a panic attack and he's calling for Seokmin hyung"

"M-Me?"

"Seokmin hyung, please come as soon as possible. Jisoo is— HOLY SH*T! LEADER-NIM! HE'S—"

*beeeeppppp*

The trio widened their eyes before quickly running out of the ice cream parlor.

Soonyoung slammed the door open as the trio entered, immediately meeting with a panicking Wonwoo.

"Hyung, where's Jisoo?" Seokmin asked.

"Oh thank goodness you arrived" Wonwoo sighed in relief. "In their room, quick"

Seokmin nodded sprinting up the stairs.

Seungkwan and Soonyoung looked at Wonwoo.

"I guess you wanna know what happened?"

The two nodded.

🔷

Seokmin slowly pushed the door open to see Jisoo curled up against the corner of the room, Seungcheol and Jeonghan in front of him.

Jeonghan looked at the door let out a sigh of relief. "Seokmin-ah, you're here...."

"Yeah.....I am" Seokmin quietly said, stepping into the room, leaving the door ajar.

"Shua....look, it's Seokmin" Seungcheol crouched down and patted his knee.

Jisoo's head immediately shot up, his feet up in a second as he pulled the younger to a hug.

"S-Seokmin..." He stammered, gripping on him tightly as if he'll disappear if he lets him go.

Seokmin patted his back. "I'm here Jisoo-ssi" He reassured, leading the two of them to Jisoo's bed.

Jisoo hid his face on Seokmin's neck, his uneven breaths slowly going even.

Seungcheol and Jeonghan looked at each other, before slowly leaving the room.

"D-Don't leave S-Seok" Jisoo muttered.

"I won't......." Seokmin said, brushing Jisoo's fluffy hair.

If it meant this was the closest interaction he could get from Jisoo, he'll be sure to give it his all to make him safe and comfortable.

30 minutes later of silence and the two was now laying down on Jisoo's bed. Well, Seokmin was sitting whilst Jisoo rested his head on the younger's thigh.

Everytime someone would peek into the room, Seokmin would violently wave them off, and thank goodness Seungcheol decided to close it completely.

He wiped off the tears that stained Jisoo's eyes with a small towel.

"Why did you want to be with me anyways?" Seokmin finally asked. "Out of all of us, why me?"

Jisoo sniffled. "It's.......it's because you're special. I see the way you take care of the other members" He admitted. "And....I wanna apologize to you. For what I said"

Seokmin pursed his lips, recalling the argument they had earlier.

"Are you really that oblivious what these three are doing to all of us, pulling us out of our cold shells so they can break down our guard?" 

"Why is it so important for you of keeping your guard up around everyone? There's no benefit at all"

"There is" Jisoo said. "No one will come close to me to play with my feelings again"

"Play with you?" Seokmin tilted his head in confusion.

Jisoo sighed. "I....I had a boyfriend when I was in highschool. I thought he truly loved me. Guess it was all a lie. Then....my parents found out, they disowned me, saying no man should fall in love with another. So I ran away and somehow found my way here"

Seokmin brushed the hair out of the older's face. "So that's why" He mumbled. "......it must be hard moving on"

Jisoo shook his head. "He was such an asshole anyways. Doesn't matter"

Seokmin sighed as he caressed his cheek. "You know, I'll always be here if you need someone to talk to"

"I'll keep that in mind" Jisoo said, yawning after.

"I think you should sleep now" Seokmin said. "You've been yawning a lot now"

"Mmm, okay" Jisoo moved his head away from Seokmin's thigh and to the pillow.

Seokmin was about to stand up, but once again Jisoo tugged on his shirt.

"Stay a bit longer please. Just until I fall asleep" Jisoo pleaded.

Seokmin softly smiled. "Okay" He said, laying down beside him.

And so he stayed, watching the older flutter his eyes close while his arms wrapped around the younger's.

"Sleep well Jisoo"

"Call me hyung" Jisoo mumbled, soon, light snores coming out.

Seokmin soon too fell asleep.

"What a romantic scene" Seungkwan peeked in.

"Indeed" Mingyu nodded.

"This is gonna be the biggest blackmail I've ever done so far" Soonyoung smirked, snapping a quick photo of them sleeping.

Seungkwan looked at Seokmin's face to see a small smile.

"He really likes Jisoo hyung that much huh?"
