Type: Slight angst and fluff

Chanhee and Changmin have known each other for years, long before their trainee days. They were extremely close and told each other everything. Or that's what Changmin thinks.

Now sitting in the car on the way to a small hotel in Jeonju with one another, Changmin was stuck in his thoughts as he drove down the road, Chanhee asleep next to him in the passenger seat.

Changmin bit his lip as he frowned, thinking hard as his hands gripped harder along the steering wheel.

He couldn't help but feel confused about Chanhee's feelings towards him, but also towards Younghoon. Chanhee was always talking about Younghoon or being friendly towards him as Changmin watched from afar.

Changmim noticed how Chanhee's eyes would light up whenever Younghoon was around or the way his smile would be brighter, and his laughter cute and high pitched; while his cheeks would turn pink.

But when Chanhee had to choose between going on a road trip with either himself or Younghoon, Chanhee chose him, and that just didn't add up in Changmin's brain.

Getting interrupted in his thoughts, he heard Chanhee's gentle voice, "Don't grip the steering wheel too hard" he spoke softly, his hand laying gently over Changmin's, "Your knuckles are turning white."

Changmin felt his heart quicken as he shook his head a bit as he cleared his throat, "Sorry" he mumbled, "Traffic was stressing me out that's all."

Chanhee giggled cutely, that giggle Changmin always loved hearing as he spoke, "You don't need to stress out while I'm here."

Changmim could feel his heart beat in his chest as he prayed that Chanhee wouldn't hear it at all as he smiled over at Chanhee.

"Put your shoes on dork" Changmin spoke quickly, trying to change the conversation as he was getting shy, "We are almost to our hotel."

Chanhee nodded as he put on his shoes as Changmin pulled into the hotel, parking the car before getting out and grabbing the bags.

The workers were quick to put their bags in their shared room as Chanhee tugged softly on Changmin's sleeve, causing Changmin to look over at him softly.

"Is it okay if we go eat first?" Chanhee whispered, getting a bit shy as he noticed the workers watching them two interact.

"You don't wanna see our room first?" Changmin asked as Chanhee shook his head no, burying his face in Changmin's chest to hide himself from the people looking over.

Changmin bit his lip as he held back, his finger going to Chanhee's face as he gently lifted his head up to make him look at him.

"Yeah sure" he whispered gently, "Let's go eat."

Chanhee smiled up at him before grabbing Changmin's hand as he dragged him out of the hotel and towards the city as they walked together along the sidewalk.

Changmin assumed Chanhee didn't realize they were still holding hands, but Changmin didn't say anything nor let go as he loved the closeness between the two.

But he still had his doubts.

Does Chanhee like Younghoon?

Is Chanhee only being friendly towards me because we are best friends?

Does Chanhee like me more than a friend?

Changmin shook his head no. 'No, no, no', Changmin thought. We are just friends. That's all we are and that's all we ever will be.
