The Blue Car [Minsung]

《 22 》

Minho POV ••• ᓚᘏᗢ

Minho didn't know why he texted Jisung, but he thought he was the only person who could help.

Jisung

Minho
Hey Jisung -
Are you free to talk? -

Jisung
- Yeah
- What's up?

Minho
Have you ever/
Is it weird/
Why do I not/

Jisung
- Would you rather call?
- It could make it easier to
say

Minho
Sure -

Suddenly, Minho's phone was ringing. He immediately answered.

(italics is Jisung, and normal is Minho.)

Calling Jisung...

"So...what's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong. I'm just confused."

"About..."

"Myself, I guess...I don't know."

"Is it about your sexuality?"

"Yeah, actually. How'd you know?"

"Lucky guess." Jisung laughed before continuing. "Anyways, why are you confused?"

"I always thought I was straight, but now I might not be."

"Why do you think that?"

"I just have never liked girls."

"Then why are you dating Keiko?"

"I'm not. We broke up."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"It's okay."

"Do you think you're gay? Or...?"

"Gay, probably. I'm not asexual, and I don't like girls, so I'm probably gay."

"So, what's the problem?"

"Nothing..."

"Before you go, I want to you do something."

"What?"

"Just...imagine you're kissing a guy, or being with a guy."

"Why...?"

"To see if you're comfortable being gay, or if you just have poor taste in women."

"Hey!"

"Stop stalling and do it. You're the one who called me for advice."

"Okay..."

Minho paused to let himself think and imagine the scenario that Jisung had provided him. It was weird to imagine it, but he felt more comfortable with the idea of being with a guy than how he felt when he was with a girl.

"Okay, what do you think?"

"I'm definitely gay."

"Great!"

"Huh?"

"I mean, it's great that you figured it out!"

"Yeah, thank you by the way. Sorry if I bothered you at all."

"No, I was bored anyway. I'm glad I could help, though."

"Thanks, again."

"Any time...talk to you later?"

"Yep!"

The call ended and Minho set down his phone. Now it was time to tell the only family he was comfortable with.

He got up and walked to the living room, but he couldn't find the blonde anywhere. "Hey Felix?" Minho called, hoping that he would respond.

"I'm in the kitchen!"

Minho quickly walked to the source of the voice, and saw Felix making a packet of instant ramen.

"Wassup?" the younger asked.

"I wanted to tell you something," Minho started, feeling a little unsure of himself.

"Spill," Felix demanded, looking up from stirring the noodles.

"I'm gay," Minho said.

"I know." Felix then focused back on his ramen, adding in the powered flavoring.

"What do you mean 'you know'?" Minho asked, confused.

"You made it pretty obvious with how you treated Keiko," Felix explained.

"Oh."

Minho then walked back to his room and flopped down on his bed aggressively.

He was happy that he got everything figured out, and that Felix already assumed he was gay.

Minho's brain was just stuck on one thing.

He understood why Jisung suggested for him to think about kissing a guy, and that wasn't the issue.

The issue was why he had imagined Jisung as the guy he wanted to kiss.
