must have been a deadly kiss, only love can hurt like this // hyunlix

"What's with the staring?" I asked directly to Minho.

I think it must have been about five minutes since I kissed Felix, not kissed actually, it was just a peek on his lips, but yeah, five minutes since I kissed him in front of everyone.

All of them were still sitting at the table on the kitchen, which was too small for all of them, but as always, very comfortable. Felix and I were still leaning on the countertop in front of the stove.

We were glued together as we normally were, with our shoulders practically touching each other, and Felix still had his hand intertwined in mine, and from minute to minute, he squeezed my hand with his own.

And maybe that's the reason why Minho has been staring at us for about three minutes in a row. He's staring at us with a face that makes my heart warm.

Minho will never confess out loud, but the way he takes care of all of us is very similar to Chan's. He has always been caring about everyone and wanting everyone's well-being, of course, but he was never very good at demonstrating emotions like Chan.

Even when he was eliminated, he tried to stay strong for all of us, as if he had to comfort us and not the other way around. He didn't cry that day until he hugged Chan. He wanted to stay strong for us, even though he wasn't staying strong for himself.

It's just the way he is, always taking care of us.

And since Changbin opened my eyes and told me that Minho knew I had loving feelings for Felix, even if it's subtle, I realized over and over again that he was trying to somehow help me. It was always so subtle that if I didn't know him with the palm of my hand, I might not be able to see it.

But deep down, Minho may pretend to be tough for us, he may pretend not to care about some subjects and he may pretend not to like physical contact very much when we try to hug him for a long time, but I know that this is all just a way to show his love for us.

Although he doesn't really pretend anything when it comes to Jisung and Felix. This is not the first time I think those two have something that melts Minho's heart. I don't blame him.

So, now is one of the few moments that Minho allows himself to lower his guard down and show a happy face that it is making my heart warm.

But this face is interrupted as soon as he hears what I said.

"Staring? Please, the only thing I'm staring is the smoke coming out of the pot." Minho said "God, what is this smell," he continued.

Huh? Smoke? Smell?

"Holy shit" Felix, out of nowhere, screamed and came out of my side, taking off his hand on top of mine and running to the stove that wasn't even two steps away from both of us.

"What?" I asked.

Felix didn't answer me and just grunted in frustration.

"Fuck!" Felix shouted "My pancakes" he said turning off the fire from the stove.

When I looked at the pot, I realized everything that was happening.

I then, as a great person, did everything not to let go of a chuckle at the black thing that was once a food that we used to call it a pancake. Well, at the moment this thing became just something stinky and ugly.

And as much as I tried to hold back my laughter, Felix managed to hear me chuckling and looked at me in disbelief.

"Ugh, It's all your fault" Felix said as he hit me slightly.

"What? How is that my fault?" I asked giggling a little more loud this time.

"You distracted me," he said.
