THIRD PERSON POV

Minho was practicing with Beomgyu and Soobin. Minho couldn't help but perk into the conversation which the other two boys were having.

"What do you think about our new producer, Hyung?" Beomgyu nudged at Soobin's shoulder as the taller male glared him for his actions.

"I merely know him" Soobin paused for a while and gave Beomgyu a 'I'm so tired of your useless questions'  look. "His name was so confusing.. I don't even remember it" Beomgyu stated and huffed out a long sigh. "Chris Chan?" Beomgyu shouted making Soobin shook his head at his stupidity. 'This boy can't even remember a simple name'  Soobin thought to himself. "Bang Chan" The older corrected the boy and again focused on the choreo.

"What did you say?" Minho asked and tilted his head in confusion. 'Is it hyung?' Minho thought to himself and Beomgyu told him everything about their producer and Minho got all the answers to his confusion. It definitely was Chan!

"Where can I find him!?" Minho exclaimed making the younger throw weird looks at him. Soobin told him about the room where Chan was working and Minho dashed towards it.

It was Chan, no one else. His bestfriend and his beloved hyung and the person for whom he fell in the first sight. He liked the older alot. When he was a high schooler he met the boy while some other boys were bullying but Chan, he saved him.

Since then he started growing romantic feelings for Chan. He lost every hope when the older went to Australia but after getting the information about him being in the hybe building was enough to make him feel like being in the cloud nine.

"Channie hyung" He said and tackled the older in a bone clenching tight hug. Chan was quite surprise to see someone hugging him like that. Minho pulled away and looked at Chan with his big doe eyes.

"I'm Minho! You remember me, don't you?" Minho caught a hold of Chan's hand and placed it over his own cheek. "Where were you hyung!!? I really misse---"

"I don't even know you, sir" Chan knitted his eyebrows together and pushed the younger a little. He lied when he said he can't recognise Minho. He can forget himself but not him. How can he? Minho was the first person who stole his heart.

Minho gave a hurt look to the latter as he couldn't believe that Chan has forgotten him. "Hyung.. please" He frowned and tried his best to hold back his tears. He knows Chan is sick but he can't believe that his bestfriend has forgotten him. They were childhood bestfriends how can he forget Minho? It was the only question that was ringing in his mind.

"If you don't know me.. then I am willing to be your friend" Minho stretched out his hand and passed a sad smile to the older. Chan was taken aback by the boy's determination. He noticed how Minho's smile faded when he said he can't recognise Minho. It surely hurted him when he lied to the younger but what can he do? How can he stay close to Minho after knowing that he'll forget everyone one day? He's scared of hurting Minho's feelings.

"Please.. hyung, stop pretending like you don't know me when you do!" Minho exclaimed. "I know why you're refusing to tell the truth" His voice cracked a little but soon Chan pulled him into a small hug.

"I'm sorry Min.. I didn't want to hurt you as I was sick" The blonde looked at the younger with so much concern in his eyes. He can't hide the truth from his friend for a long time. He has to accept his fate, he hasn't forgotten Minho yet so he won't pretend of not knowing him. He knows it'll hurt the younger even more if he keeps pretending like this.

"What are you doing here?" Minho asked the latter who was lost in his thought.

"Hybe hired me as Txt's producer" He replied shortly and put his all attention on the computer screen in front of him. "What about you?"

"I'm a soloist here" The brunette replied and took out a chair and sat beside Chan. Chan's heartbeat started increasing by the close proximity. He admired the boy's features. The way Minho tucked his hairs behind his hair looked cute to Chan somehow. No matter how much he will try to resist Minho, he'll end up falling for him even deeper. His heart says to stay close to Minho but his mind keeps telling him about his health.

Chan was finally done editing the title track of the album and he glanced at Minho, who fell asleep while watching Chan work. Without even realising his hands started playing with the hair strands of the sleeping figure in front of him. He noticed how adorable and precious the boy looked when he was asleep. He couldn't take his eyes off the sleeping beauty who was sleeping soundly in front of him. '

'How can you look so mesmerizing even while sleeping?'  A soft smile adorned Chan's features when he thought of himself being with Minho but again it got replaced by a sad sigh when he thought of how selfish it would be if he does something like that. He knows that Minho likes him as much as he likes Minho. Hyunjin always told him about how Minho would rant to him about Chan, he will always say how much he likes Chan and how he is so embarrassed of confessing. Only if Minho knew how much he likes him back.

He took out his phone and clicked few pictures of Minho. He wanted to keep these pictures as he found them a way too cute. No matter what he'll always find Minho adorable.

Minho woke up with a long yawn and blinked his eyes several times. 'cute'  The older thought and smiled at him brightly.

"You were sleeping from last two hours" Chan spoke and observed the way younger started rubbing his eyes as soon as he woke up. "And what were you doing?" The brunette asked and straightened his sitting posture.

"Uhmm.. editing the song" The blonde lied.  He noticed the pout played on across the boy's plump lips when he let out the sentence. "I will go home" Minho announced and got up from his seat.

"Hyung, don't disappear like you did last time. I care for you and I really do" He reminded the older how much he cares for him. He passed a small smile to Chan and exited the room. Chan stared at the younger's disappearing figure and sighed before shutting down his computer screen.
