hate; hjs + lmh

24.

chan's question kept minho up all night, if jisung hated him so much why didn't he tell everyone about their conversation? he kept it secret for so many years, he had so many opportunities to use it against him but he never did.

he tossed and turned in his bed, trying to find a comfortable position to sleep in but he couldn't stop overthinking.

he'd spent so many years trying to forget about his feelings and those memories but suddenly they were back after one conversation with chan, maybe he'd never gotten over jisung in the first place.

he shook his head, "no..i hate him" he reassured himself, "i'll always hate him"

he sat up, quietly getting out of bed and opening the door to the balcony. he stepped out and shivered as the cold air suddenly hit him.

he took a second to think about all the times that jisung could've told people about what happened.

"minho?" he flinched as he turned around to see chan standing at the door, "it's cold what are you doing out here?"

he shook his head and replied, "nothing" he turned back around to look at the city lights. "i just can't sleep"

"something keeping you up?" he asked as he stood next to him, looking at minho instead of the lights.

"i'm fine..let's just go to sleep, we have a busy day" he went back inside, chan followed him and shut the door.

chan didn't want to push minho so he quietly got into bed and tried to fall asleep, as did minho.

he clicked on the file and pressed play, "so this is what i've got so far.." he played the music as the other two listened, "do you like it?"

both the boys nodded, "perfect! i'll uh finish up the rest once you've got the first part of the choreography done"

chan looked at minho, who looked like he hadn't slept all night "we can do this another day if you're tired min"

the blonde shook his head, "no i'm fine, let's just get this over with"

"no i agree with chan, if you're not feeling well we can-" jisung was cut off by minho raising his voice.

"when i said im fine just fucking shut up about it" he let out a deep breath, "i'm sorry..i just had a rough night"

jisung nodded, trying to process that minho had just willingly said sorry to him, "it's alright i understand"

"okay so should we um get started?" chan tried to lighten up the mood by offering to go get some coffee for the trio, "you guys start and i'll go grab some drinks"

the two nodded as chan left the studio, leaving minho and jisung alone. they both sat there awkwardly until one of them decided to speak up and turn the music on.

after a while they started on the choreography, trying to match it with the music. "alright so just place your hand here.."

jisung gently grabbed minho's hand and rested it on his waist, "this is awkward" he let out a small laugh.

minho smiled as he stared at jisung, who was fixing his hand position. the brunette was slightly shorter than him so minho took his free hand and placed it on jisung's chin, lifting it slightly so their eyes met.

"i uh.." he didn't know what to say, "this feels more natural right..?" minho awkwardly laughed as jisung nodded.

"you're right.."

minho bit his lip gently as he took a deep breath, they both stayed in that position for a bit and minho started to lean forward.

"i'm back!" chan kicked the door open with his foot and held up the drinks, "hurry otherwise i'll drop the-"

"chan!" minho pushed the younger away as he ran to grab the cups from him, "thanks for the coffee.."
