Lee Know POV:

Seungmin was acting... Weird.

  Well, he always acted weird and claimed he was the only normal member but this time it was something different.

Lee Know made it his goal to figure out what it was.

  He knew it was his fault. But the problem was, he didn't actually know what he did to upset him. And clearly, apologizing wasn't going to work.

  So all Lee Know could do was observe and act like the nicest human possible. Which was... Hard considering his personality.

"Seungmin, would you like to have seconds? I can get some for you. "

"Minnie, I have some gum. You want some? "

"Let Seungmin go first everyone. He worked really hard all week."

And Seungmin was beyond confused.

It made him wonder if Lee Know could possibly like him in the second way like he'd been hoping.

  Seungmin was reading a book in the study at JYPE when Lee Know quietly knocked on the door and sat next to the younger.

  Seungmin didn't need to look up to see who it was. "Hey, " Lee Know said.

"... Hey. "

  Lee Know put his elbow on the table and rested his cheek on his hand, making Seungmin's ears turn pink. Conflicted about whether he should move closer or further away, he stayed still.

  But Lee Know didn't. Slowly, he leaned in closer. Seungmin's breath hitched. Nervously, he turned his head to look at him. "What are... "

  Lee Know stared at him with an intensity he'd never seen. It terrified Seungmin. It made him squirm. It made him want to run and hide. To not exist. "Seungmin."

"Yes? "

"Tell me... Are you still mad at me? "

Seungmin hesitated before breathing, "I could never be mad at you. "

  Lee Know paused. He didn't expect this answer. He also didn't expect Seungmin to answer in such a low tone and it confused him. It also didn't help that he didn't think about what he would say after this. "Uh... Then why are you avoiding me? "

Seungmin POV:

"I- I'm not- it's not because of you, " Seungmin replied.

"So... You're telling me that you are avoiding me... For no apparent reason? "

"There's a reason. "

"What is it. "

"I can't tell you. "

  "Seungmin, you know I love you, right? " Lee Know scooted closer, resting his hand on Seungmin's shoulder.

  But Seungmin of course, got his hopes up. His heart raced. He opened his mouth and shut it again. Should he say something? Should he lie? He didn't know. He settled for the obvious.

"I... I really l-"

Of course Han had to ruin it.

  "Min, I've been looking for you everywhere- oh, hey..
Minnie. Are you good? You look super red. "

  "I'm... Fine. Just. Perfect, " Seungmin growled.

His heart dropped when Lee Know got up and walked over to Han, holding his hands in his. "Hi baby. I missed you. "

  Giving Han a quick kiss, Lee Know waved goodbye to Seungmin and the two walked out hand in hand.
Seungmin was raging. He slowly, one by one, packed his book, notebook, pencil, and phone into his sack and stormed out of the study. He decided to go to Jeongin.

"Innie, I give up, rid me of the love inside my heart. I want to get over that son of a bi- oh... Hi Chan. "

  Chan and Jeongin looked up at Seungmin who was standing in the doorway of Jeongin's room. "Oh hey, " Jeongin replied.

"Hi, " Chan said shyly.

  Embarrassed, Seungmin turned to leave but Chan called after him. "Wait, I can leave if you want. It's probably more important than what we were talking about. Besides, I'm pretty sure that Hyunjin needs help on his song... "

  Seungmin stepped back into the room. "No... You deserve to know. You're the leader after all.

"Oh, okay then. What is it? "

  Seungmin sat in the desk chair near by and faced the two who were sitting on the bed. "I... Have a crush. "

  Chan's faced lit up. "Oh? Who is it? It's not a fan right? You know what happens when-"

  "Chan. Respectively, shut up, " Jeongin cut him off.

  With a nervous laugh, Seungmin continued. "Not a fan. They're... He's a member. "

  Seungmin couldn't read Chan's expression. He couldn't tell if it was dissatisfaction, happiness, or confusion. Jeongin looked between the two nervously.

  "I- I um... I like Lee Know, " he said quietly.

  Chan froze. Now you could clearly see the disappointment. His face was full of it. "Minnie, no. That's... That's not good. "

  Seungmin regretted telling Chan the moment he opened his mouth. "I know. I came here to ask I. N for help with getting over him. "

"Have you been avoiding him? " Jeongin questioned.

"Yes. I've been avoiding him at all costs. But he keeps popping up! And he keeps acting all lovey dovey with me and it's freaking me out and making me extremely confused. It doesn't help that Han is everywhere as well."

  Jeongin cautiously looked over to Chan who's brows were creased in concern.

  Chan stayed silent for a moment while Jeongin spoke. "You need to tell Lee Know. I promise you, it will work. At least then, you won't have to worry about whether he likes you or not and you can officially move on. "

  Chan finally said something. "I can guarantee you, Lee Know does not like you like that-"

"Chan. Shut up. " Jeongin repeated.

  Seungmin sighed. They were right. The only way to get over Lee Know was to confront him fave to face. And he had to do it now.

Seungmin stood up from his spot "I- I'll do it. Now. I'll do it now."

  "Seungmin, you should do it tomorrow. Sleep on it so you know exactly what you want to say. If you do it now, I think you might regret the words that come out of your mouth, " Jeongin explained.

  "You're right. I'm going to order some food and spend the evening in my room. I need to think... "

"Bye Minnie, " Jeongin called after Seungmin left.

"Shit, Chan. What are you going to do?"

♡

  Seungmin loved pizza. It was one of his favorites. He couldn't get anough of it. He sat there on his bed, kicking his feet happily while slurping up the cheesy substance when his phone buzzed. He groaned. It was a reminder that his new song was due in less than three weeks.

  He looked over at his old keyboard, which stood sadly, in the cluttered corner. Usually, Seungmin was a neat freak. But with everything happening, he couldn't bring himself to clean up a mess caused by feelings caused by Lee Know. It was... Sentimental. In a gross and unusual way.

  Seungmin just couldn't find the inspiration. No matter how hard he tried. He couldn't find a melody that matched his mood. Everything seemed... Wrong. He'd come up with something that he liked and then would immediately hate it as soon as Lee Know came to mind.

And little did he know, he was about to be struck with a whole truck of inspiration... And then some.
