My Boy/Best Friend-Minsung

Part 14

"So hypothetically speaking... what would you think if two of our members started dating each other?" Changbin asked. "Who? You and Felix?" Chan asked not even looking up from his laptop. "No. Not me and Felix." Changbin replied annoyed. "I'm just saying it wouldn't shock me." Chan said. "Is there any other pairing that wouldn't shock you?" Changbin asked. "Well Lee Know and Han obviously, those two are soulmates and basically dating anyway." Chan said still not looking up from his laptop. "Interesting. Interesting. Ok good to know." Changbin said as he got up to leave. "Wait that was all you came in here to say? That was so random." Chan called after Changbin. "Yeah. Gotta go!" Changbin said as he not only left Chan's room but went out the door to the whole apartment. Chan heard the front door close behind Changbin and looked in that direction confused but then just shrugged and went back to working on music. Meanwhile at the other apartment Seungmin and I.N. were getting ready to go to their vocal lessons. "I think Lee Know is dating someone. He keeps grinning like an idiot at his phone texting someone and when I ask him who it is he starts acting really weird and never tells me. I don't know why he would feel he needs to hide it." I.N. said. "Uh I don't know... maybe he's just a private person." Seungmin said. "Ha! Privacy? In our group? That ship sailed a long time ago." I.N. laughed.

Seungmin laughed nervously and then said "Maybe he thinks you won't approve of his partner?" "Partner? That's an interesting way to put it." I.N. said. Seungmin looked around the room, avoiding eye contact and fiddling with his shirt hem. I.N. raised an eyebrow at Seungmin and said "You know something." "What are you talking about? Know something about what?" Seungmin said nervously laughing. "Spill it Kim Seungmin! What do you know?" I.N. said grabbing Seungmins shoulders. "Ok! Ok! Maybe I know a little something about who Lee Know is dating..." Seungmin replied. "Now you have to tell me who it is since you just spilled that he is in fact dating someone." I.N. said. "I shouldn't! I already told Changbin! If I tell you they will think I have a big mouth!" Seungmin said slapping his hand over his mouth. "You told Changbin before me?! Oh you have to tell me now!" I.N. said. "Lee Know is dating Han!" Seungmin blurted out loudly. "Lee Know is what?!" Felix asked shocked as he had walked out of his room at that very moment. Seungmin's mouth dropped. "Yeah I heard you too dumbass." Lee Know said angrily as he came out of his room too. "Gotta run!" Seungmin said as he left out the door at the speed of light.

"So everyone in my apartment knows now because of Seungmin's big mouth." Lee Know said. "This is a nightmare. Well... how did they take it?" Han asked. "I talked to I.N. and Felix about it after Seungmin ran out and they were really cool about it and happy for us. I don't know what we were so worried about." Lee Know said. "I mean I wasn't too worried about how they would take it, because I know they are understanding and accepting people. I think I was more worried about what it would mean if they found out. Like them knowing would make it real." Han said. "Are you still worried about that? Do you not want it to be real?" Lee Know asked nervously. Han put his hand on Lee Know's shoulder and said "Don't worry, I'm still happy with my trial period at the moment." Lee Know smiled softly. "So it's only a matter of time till Hyunjin and Chan find out. Should we just tell them?" Han added. "Nah, if you are down to prank them, I have the best idea that will get them so good, but we will need to get all the other guys involved." Lee Know replied. "I feel like I'm going to regret saying this but... let's hear it." Han said laughing.

All the members were sitting around Lee Know's apartment talking. Lee Know was in the kitchen cooking and Han was in there with him helping. Han came up to Lee Know and hugged him from behind, nuzzling his face into his neck. Hyunjin's eyes widened looking at them and then he turns to Seungmin saying "Did- Did you just see that?" "See what?" Seungmin asked. "H-Han and Lee Know... Look!" Hyunjin said as he turned back to the kitchen to see Han and Lee Know nowhere near each other and doing other things. "What? They are just cooking." Seungmin said. "No... just now they were... Han was like holding Lee Know from behind and snuggling up in his neck..." Hyunjin said confused. "Yeah right. Good one!" Seungmin said laughing and then turned to walk away. Hyunjin rubbed his eyes and walked over to talk with I.N. Felix and Chan were chatting when Chan looked over at the kitchen to see Lee Know caressing Han's face. Chan wide eyed asked Felix "What is with those two? Weird... are you seeing this?" "Seeing what? I don't see anything." Felix said. "Han and Lee Know, they are acting sus." Chan said pointing towards the kitchen but again when he looked back they were on opposite sides of the kitchen. Chan scratched his head and walked over to Changbin. "You were talking about Han and Lee Know the other day, and now they are acting sus, what's going on?" Chan asked Changbin. "I was just messing around the other day, why are you still thinking about that?" Changbin said.

Chan looked to the kitchen again to see Lee Know behind Han guiding his hand as he stirred the soup. They both giggled with their faces inches from each other's. Hyunjin walked over to where Chan and Changbin were and said "Tell me I'm not the only one seeing this. I know sometimes they cross the closeness line but this is next level stuff." "No I see it too." Chan said. "I don't see anything. Y'all must be losing it." Changbin said. Chan and Hyunjin looked at each other and said almost in sync "Are they..." They turned back to the kitchen to see Han lean in and kiss Lee Know on the lips right there in front of their eyes. Hyunjin and Chan's mouths dropped and their eyes just about fell out of their sockets from how wide they opened them. Han and Lee Know turned to them immediately to see their reactions and started busting out laughing. "What the hell?" Chan said covering his mouth. Hyunjin was simply speechless. "You two are... dating! I knew it!" Chan said. The rest of the members break out into laughter and Hyunjin and Chan look around the room so confused. "Wait, you all knew except us??" Hyunjin asked. "It's a long story but we all found out within these last few days." Felix said laughing. "I'm sorry if that was shocking but we just had to mess with y'all being the last to know." Han said laughing. "I mean I'm not surprised that y'all are dating, even Stay called it since predebut but I do have to say I am pretty shocked to see you two kissing with my own eyes. I did not expect to ever see that." Chan said laughing nervously. "Yeah sorry to spring it on y'all so suddenly but your faces were completely worth it." Lee Know said laughing.

Later that night Han was with Lee Know and said "I'm glad we all decided it was best to keep it a secret from the company. I feel like they wouldn't be as accepting." "Besides, if it got out and Stay found out they were right, we would never hear the end of it." Lee Know said laughing. "Oh for sure." Han laughed. "So now all the members know... What's the verdict on the trial period? I'd like to hear the customer review." Lee Know said joking but with a tinge of nervousness in his voice. "Hmm, I think I'd like to rip up the return receipt. You're stuck with me." Han said smiling. Lee Know smiled brightly, different than his usual mischievous grin and smirk. He hugged Han tightly and then pulled back and asked "So 5 stars?" "I wouldn't go that far. Maybe 4.5, you will have to work harder for the other half a star." Han said jokingly. "Challenge accepted." Lee Know said brushing Han's hair from his face as he kissed him.
