  *thank you to my friends who helped me with the plot for this chapter (you know who you are) *

They were currently in the middle of a fan sign when Seungmin happened to notice Han and Lee Know casually flirting. It was like they didn't even care that many eyes we're on them.

And it made Seungmin furious.

  Seungmin wasn't the type to easily get mad but when it came to Lee Know, he felt many things. Including anger.

  He was so lost in thought that he didn't realize that the fan in front of him was patiently waiting for him to sign the album.

  After apologizing to the fan and quickly scrawling out his name, his eyes happened to wander back to the pair. Lee Know was holding Han's face in one hand and signing an album with the other. Seungmin couldn't help but feel the jealousy rising in the pit of his stomache. He breathed in sharply and signed the next girl's album.

"Oh my gosh look at them! Are they actually dating?? "

"My dreams have come true! "

"Lee Know looks as Han like my grandma looks at her cat"

  Seungmin's eye twitched when he heard the fans whispering near by. Whipping his head around, he saw Lee Know holding the tie wrapped around Han's neck and smiling at him endearingly. Han's face broke into a wide smile and giggled softly.

  Seungmin let out a sharp breath he didn't even notice he was holding when a staff member came up to the two and politely asked them to stop.

  "Are you okay, Minnie? ", Chan asked, tapping the other on the shoulder.

  " I-" Seungmin found it hard to respond. What was he supposed to say? He really wasn't okay and he didn't like lying. If anything, he was the most truthful out of all the members.

  "I'm fine, " he settled with. "I just need some water. " He grabbed the nearest water bottle and drank almost 3/4's of it, not realizing that it was the fan's, who's faced lit up a bright red.

  "I'm so so sorry, " Seungmin exclaimed. "I didn't realize it was yours. Here, have mine instead."

  The fan only got redder before graciously taking his half full water bottle and moving on.

  "Are you sureee you're okay?" Chan leaned in closer.

"Yes, " he replied bluntly, "I am. "

  Han and Lee Know were only getting more and more obvious. Not only were the members starting to notice but the fans were too. While browsing in the internet, Seungmin would constantly see fans freaking our over the lastest "minsung" moments and commenting all over his live, asking questions about the pair, which drove him mad.

  All he could do was lie and say that nothing was going on when clearly something was going on. Chan had to pull them aside all the time to explain to them that they could only go so far with fan service until it became something real.

  But all of it was real. And Seungmin knew that. He knew it when he went to wake up Lee Know just to see Han cuddled up beside him. He also knew it when Han accidently called him boyfriend in English instead of best friend.

  But he really knew it when he caught them making out after rehearsal...

  Seungmin got up from the floor where he was lying after a long day to go to the bathroom and wash his face. But he didn't expect Han to be sitting on the counter desperately grasping at Lee Know's body.

  "Hey is someone in- oh... OH- NEV-nervermind... " He quickly shut the door and ran off, hearing Han and Lee Know chasing after him.

"Seungmin, wait! "

  He finally came to a stop when he reached the kitchen of the dance studio. He turned around and decided to speak before either of them could utter a word. He knew that if he let them open their mouths, he would start crying.

"Look, I don't care if y'all or dating or not. Just don't involve me, okay? I don't want to be a part of it. Are you keeping it a secret from all of us or just me? You know what's at stake, right? What happens when the whole world finds out? It will happen. Just be ready for that. "

  Han spoke up first. "We... We were planning on telling you at some point but we never found the right moment. Most of them already know. We just didn't want to tell you guys as a group... And I mean, it's not like we're obvious... "

  Seungmin stayed silent for a second before turning around and leaving the studio. "Fuck you. "

  Despite it being a sunny day, Seungmin couldn't help but feel cloudy and dark. He didn't realize that tears were streaming down his face until he locked himself in the dorm bathroom and stared at himself in the mirror.

  "F-fUCK, " he sobbed. "What did I do to deserve this? Slowly, he slid down the door. Holding himself in his arms, he cried. He didn't notice how loud he was getting until he heard a soft knock on the door.

"Who is it? " he muttered.

"Uh.. It's I. N... May I come in? " Jeongin's soft voice crept through the cracks of the door.

"Yeah... Sure, " he replied, opening the door hesitantly.

  There Jeongin was, freshly our of the shower, already wearing his pj's. "Seungmin... What's wrong? " he spoke softly, crouching down next to the older and resting his hand in his shoulder.

"Nothing"

"... Well that's a lie. "

"So what if it is? "

"Seungmin."

  Seungmin let our a long sigh and looked over at the younger. "How come no one told me? "

"About? "

  "Lee Know and Han being like... This, " Seungmin demonstrated what he meant by crossing his fingers.

"Ah... That. Well... I don't know. They had their reasons, I'm sure. "

  "Reasons mean nothing when you walk in on two of your best friends making out in a bathroom made for all of us, " he spit out.

  Jeongin for quiet. "Minnie... Do you happen to... "
