A few days after Jilix's party, Chan had had enough of sitting around and moping about Seungmin.

The older was sitting on the couch of his apartment staring at his phone on the coffee table, arms crossed chewing on his nails. Debating whether or not he should make a move.

He was brought out of his thoughts when he saw his phone screen light up.

A simple notification was enough to make his face light up and his heart flutter. He quickly picked it up and replied "yes" instantly. Once he saw Seungmin read his message, he quickly got up and sprinted to his bathroom.

He started fiddling with his hair, tossing it every direction trying to make it look good. Eventually, he said "fuck it" and accepted the fact that he has curls and they refuse to be tamed. He admired his outfit and wondered if he should change. The plain, black, low-waisted jeans with rips in the knees and oversized black hoodie was simple. He left it because he knew if he went to change, his closet would just be the same thing.

A knock on his door brought him out his thoughts. 'No way he's here that fast.' He thought.

He went to open the door and there Seungmin was standing in an oversized yellow hoodie and blue ripped jeans. "I might have forgot to mention that I was already in the parking lot waiting." He said shyly.

Chan smiled at the younger and let him in. Seungmin did what he always does and slipped off his shoes immediately making a bee line for the kitchen. Chan watched the boy closely as he pulled out the box of Rice Krispies that he restocked constantly for Seungmin because chan himself hated it. "Min?" he called out. Seungmin who was sat criss cross on the floor looked up, with half a Rice Krispie in his mouth. "Are you high?" Seungmin giggled and nodded. Chan smiled and joined the boy on the floor pulling out the box of froot loops.

"Ha! Two Fruit Loops sitting on the floor eating Froot Loops." Seungmin said snorting. He fell back laughing. Chan had accidentally snorted the cereal up his nose and he was violently coughing as Seungmin laughed harder.

"You okay?" Seungmin asked. Chan who's coughing had eased down was laying on the couch, head on Seungmins lap, eyes closed. He nodded slowly and looked up at the boy playing with his hair. Seungmin smiled at him before reaching into Chans pocket pulling out his vape. He took a hit then handed it to Chan letting him take a hit too.

"Can I ask you something?" Seungmin spoke up. Chan looked up at him but the boy was staring at the TV which was off. "What is it?" "I wanted to ask you this high because I couldn't ask if I was sober." Chan listened, his eyes glued to the ceiling. Seungmin took his silence as a silent "go on". He pulled his eyes away from the TV and looked at Chan, "Do you like me? as in romantically and not platonically?"

Chans eyes widened. He looked back at the younger and gulped. The older sat up turning to face Seungmin and he nodded, bowing his head. Seungmin let out a shaky exhale. Chan knew what that meant and he simply nodded holding back his tears.

"It's okay. You don't have to say anything just promise to not let this affect our friendship, please." Seungmin sighed. "Chan-hyung I'm really sorry-" "promise me Seungmin." The older said looking up.

Seungmin looked shocked. Chan had always called him Min, never Seungmin. His heart broke once he saw the elder on the verge of tears and smiling. He nodded and got up walking towards the door. "I'll leave." Chan didn't say anything. He just pulled his knees to his chest and smiled. "Okay, I'll see you later."

Seungmin turned back and saw Chan staring at the blank TV screen still smiling and tears streaming down his cheeks. He sighed before opening the door and leaving.

Chan buried his face in his knees once he heard the door slam shut.

'I ruined it...I ruined it all..."
