Groupie - Minsung

8 - Boo

When Minho got home that night, he wasted no time doing his research on Jisung. It didn't take long for him to fall down a rabbit hole. Using the information he had gotten from both Chan and Jisung, he was able to find the account that posted Jisung's work. From what he could tell, they were in a group called 3RACHA, and the last member was SpearB. J.ONE had to be Jisung, and CB97 was undoubtedly Chan.

He listened to everything that they had posted, eagerly waiting for Jisungs part. It was much different from the stuff he heard in the cafe, but it was still entrancing.

This was a great way to waste his time since Felix was still devastated about Hyunjin leaving. Minho tried to be sympathetic, he really did, but he had seen how this plays out before. Felix was just too trusting for his own good and had given his heart to someone who didn't even deserve it. He couldn't say any of this, obviously.

"Hey Lix," Minho said, knocking on the door frame. "How are you doing?"

Felix looked up from his laptop. "Oh, Minho!" he said, with a rare smile on his face.

"You seem happy" Minho commented, hoping that meant he was done being so upset over that boy.

Felix nodded. "Of course I am! Look who just landed!" Felix turned the laptop around to reveal that he was facetiming with Hyunjin.

Minho didn't bother to try and hide his disgust. "Ah, I see. I guess i'll leave you to it, then"

Felix waved and returned all of his attention to Hyunjin. Minho did his best to suppress an eye roll as he left.

"I miss you so much" He heard Felix say. "You need to come home right now!"

Minho shut his bedroom door and sighed. Felix had gotten attached to Hyunjin too quickly. They were still in the honeymoon phase and Felix didn't know any better. Minho didn't know what he could do. He wanted Felix to feel trusted, but he also wanted Felix to know that this was fragile and not to wear his heart on his sleeve.

Minho knew what it was like to put your whole soul into a relationship and have come crashing down before you've had the chance to pull away. It was great for the first few months, magical, even. But one day everything changes. He couldn't bear seeing Felix experience that kind of heartbreak.

Everyone assumed that Minho had just never been one for relationships because his friends had never seen him in one. That fact wasn't entirely true. He used to be a hopeless romantic, someone who loved love. But after his first heartbreak he didn't bother to put himself out there. He hadn't even told Felix he was gay. What was the point? It wasn't like he was going to pursue anything.

It was Wednesday morning, which meant Jisung woke up way too early because he was excited, then he quickly realized that he had to wait until 8:00 to see Minho. No, he had to wait until 8:00 to go perform at the cafe. He wasn't just excited for Minho. He just happened to be there.

Either way, he had to wait. Which meant there was plenty of time to sit and simmer in his anxiety that always built up before a performance. Sometimes he would go and mess with Hyunjin to distract himself, but with him being in Paris, there was nothing to do.

Well, he could attempt to be productive, but he knew full well that it wasn't going to work. Instead he looked at his phone and read back through all of his messages with Minho. Talking to him was just so easy. Jisung refrained from texting him again out of fear of being clingy. Instead, he went to text Felix.

They started talking about being bored, then the conversation drifted to Hyunjin for a little bit, and finally landing on Felix's love of baking.

"I would kill to try one of your brownies," Jisung said. He had never been great at baking, especially from scratch.
