My Boy/Best Friend-Minsung

Part 2

"Not in the traditional sense but think about it, you guys go on dates all the time, to coffee shops, plays, movies, restaurants, just the two of you. Hell y'all even have horror movie nights here or Lee Knows place and snuggle up on the couch." Changbin said. "We do not snuggle!" Han protested. Changbin raised his eyebrow at Han looking unconvinced. Even Lee Know gave Han a look. "Whatever... I just like skinship!" Han said crossing his arms looking guilty. "We are best friends, what's so wrong with hanging out a lot?" Han added. Changbin answered "Nothing is wrong with it, I'm just saying you two get in the others way when it comes to relationships, ALL the time. Right now it's you getting in Lee Knows way but next week it could be the other way around. Y'all are getting all the emotional benefits of dating from each other so what's the use of a girlfriend. Other than the physical benefits that you aren't getting, and if y'all are cool with never having that then by all means keep up the bromance but either y'all should just start making out with each other..." As Changbin said this Han and Lee Know looked at each other with wide eyes and then looked away quickly. "Or cut the cord a little because if either of you ever want a girlfriend, she is not going to like coming second to someone else." Changbin added before leaving the room. "You're real quiet over there. You believe this crap he's saying?" Han asked Lee Know. Lee Know just shrugged. "I guess I did get in the way of your date tonight..." Han said looking down. "I'm not worried about it." Lee Know said nonchalantly as he headed towards the door. "I'm going to head out, don't let Changbin get in your head too much." Lee Know added as he waved and walked out the front door. Lee Knows apartment was only a couple buildings away so he quickly arrived at his place and walked in to find Seungmin on the couch. "Hey! You got back from your date pretty late. Must have been a good night!" Seungmin said teasing. Visions of he and Han at the river, eating ramyeon and laughing together flashed through Lee Knows head. Lee Know smiled to himself as he said to Seungmin "Yeah you could say that."

The next day Han walked to Lee Knows apartment deep in thought. 'Why can't I stop thinking about what Changbin said? Because it's just so not true. It's not like I was trying to ruin Lee Knows chances with that girl. And Lee Know thought there was something really wrong with me, he didn't just run to me because I said to. Also I don't understand why he had to single out me and Lee Know spending a lot of time together when I spend a lot of time with all the members. In fact I'm going right now to pick up Innie for coffee this morning.' Han was apart of an 8 member Kpop group. 4 of the members, Lee Know, Seungmin, Felix and I.N. lived in one apartment and the other 4, Bang Chan, Changbin, Hyunjin and Han lived in the other in the same complex. Han had a key to his members apartment so he just let himself in. He figured I.N. was probably still getting ready and he didn't want to wake the other members. He walked over to sit on the couch and jumped back, startled to see Lee Know lying there asleep. 'Lee Know is always awake early so it's weird to see him still asleep. He must have stayed up late watching tv and fell asleep on the couch.' Han thought to himself. 'The fact that Changbin really said that maybe Lee Know and I should either start making out or start spending less time together. What a weirdo. I mean literally what the hell was that about?' Han thought as he looked down at Lee Knows sleeping face. Lee Know was like a rough alley cat most of the time but he looked so peaceful lying there. Han leaned down to look closer at his face. Lee Knows face looked so sweet as he lay there in deep sleep, with his pouty lips hanging slightly open. 'He really does look like a handsome angel like this.' Han thought to himself as he stared at Lee Know and his beautiful, long lashes. He found his gaze drifting down to Lee Knows lips again and he quickly stood up shaking his head as he thought 'I have got to get a girlfriend.'

I.N. walked in the room just as Han was standing up abruptly from beside Lee Know and he stopped in his tracks. "What are you doing?" I.N. asked. "What? I wasn't doing anything... are you ready to go?" Han said quickly as he stepped around the couch. I.N. looked at Han suspiciously before saying "Ok... let's go!" They arrived at the cafe and sat down at a table near the window. "I meant to say it before but I really like your outfit, I was surprised before honestly." I.N. said to Han. "Are you trying to say I usually look like a bum?" Han asked teasing. "No! I was just surprised to see you so dressed up to go for coffee." I.N. said. "I don't go out much so when I do I try to dress nice. Besides, I gotta catch me a girlfriend somehow." Han said leaning back in his chair confidently. "A girlfriend? That's... new." I.N. said awkwardly. Han scrunched his eyebrows at I.N. saying "What's with that reaction?" "Well... you just never seemed interested in girls before..." I.N. said avoiding eye contact. "What is it with everybody lately?! I like girls same as you!" Han said defensively. I.N.'s eyes widened at Hans sudden defense before he said "Uh... I never said you don't like girls... I meant that you never seemed interested in going on dates before." "Oh... haha I knew that's what you meant... anyway I was just always busy before but we have had more free time lately and the dating ban has been lifted. Everybody has been trying out dating recently, even Lee Know went on a blind date that his friend suggested." Han said awkwardly. "Ohh so this is about Lee Know, that makes more sense." I.N. said smiling. "What? What are you talking about?" Han asked. "You're worried about losing your movie buddy. You have nothing to worry about Han, it was just one date, you don't have to run out and find yourself a girl to make him jealous. I am sure he will still make time for you even if he gets a girlfriend." I.N. said teasing. "Y'all act like I don't have any other friends! I'm not worried about Lee Know at all. I'm not trying to get a girlfriend because of Lee Know, I'm doing it because I want to!" Han said in a huff. I.N. laughed and said "I was just teasing you, you gotta work on taking a joke or else people are gonna think you actually are jealous."
