Art Gallery ~ minsung

21st April

Jisung's POV

It was the day my exhibit would finally open to the public. I still felt tipsy about everything that had happened lately, but I was trying to get over it. Surely, I knew this day was going to be unbearable, given that I would see Minho in person, but still I was happy I would finally get some recognition for what I do, which is also what I love. 

I dressed up and put on makeup, of course, everyone's attention would be on me and I would hate to be completely my own self in front of people. Putting on a mask seemed the right option.

As I looked at myself in the mirror, I tried to correct the way I smiled so I wouldn't look like a complete freak. In the meantime, I did my hair.

Soon my doorbell rang. I ran downstairs and forgot about all the ways I corrected that smile. Finally I was going to see him after weeks. My world was about to be coloured in yellow and light blue.

I opened the door and straight up went to hug Felix against me, as tight as I could. I couldn't care less about Changbin's death glare or his hand closing in a punch. 

"Jisungie- you are- strangling me-" he coughed and I felt his grip loosening. 

I giggled and let him breathe, stepping backwards. Changbin's glare burned on my left cheek. "Sorry Lix, I missed you maybe too much." 

"Yeah you did." Changbin affirmed with a subtle growl, stepping closer. 

Me and Felix exchanged a gaze of complete fear. We both knew Changbin was part of the very jealous type but we thought that by now, he was used to me and Felix being close and often touchy. 

He made another step forward, but before I could run into the house and close the door in his face his gaze softened. "Come here bro!" He smiled and opened his arms. 

I slowly hugged Changbin back, throwing a gaze at Felix that responded with a ten times more confused one. He shrugged and mouthed a "he's just like that". 

"Are you ready to go?" Changbin asked as he left the hug, still holding onto my arm. He gazed at me another time and went "whoa, wait, let us see what we got here!" 

Both him and Felix looked down at me from head to toe, making my cheeks slightly become pinkier in embarrassment. 

"You don't even look like yourself." Felix affirmed. I met his gaze and it hit. 

I didn't tell anything about Minho to both of them. As I said, I had grown up into thinking twice before doing something and so I didn't admit to myself that I had the biggest crush on Minho until he actually kissed me. I had decided not to care about what I felt and ignore it, so I didn't feel the need to tell Felix and Changbin about him. 

But maybe now I did. Maybe it would help me get over him. Felix was glaring into the back of my brain. I sighed.

"There's something I need to tell the two of you. I'll just do it while we go there."

Without stepping in my house, Changbin decided to take a longer route to the gallery so I would have time to tell them everything. He even let Felix sit in the back with me so he would be ready to give me emotional support as soon as possible if things got critical. 

I did tell them everything. I was shaking and tried not to cry in every way possible. Felix held onto my arm and gently caressed the back of my shoulder as I looked down on my fidgeting fingers. I had forgotten to remove my nail polish. 

"It's ok bro. You are all grown up now. You'll be over it soon, after all you won't see him ever again after your exhibit is due. Also, we're talking about your exhibit, bro! Your own exhibit! Isn't that cool? You even look fancy today! Oh, he's gonna regret having a girlfriend so bad!"
