chapter seven

convince him

kang y/n

"where is minho?" i ask, chan and i making our way back to the table. felix looks between us and gives me a knowing smile. chaesua seemingly oblivious.

"he left after he went to check on you and chan." chaesua announces, taking a bit of her sandwich. "what took so long by the way?" she finally turns around to us, seeing chan firmly holding my hand. she chokes. felix laughs and pats her back.

"i'll explain later chae, but where did he leave to?" i ask, hoping he hadn't gotten far.

"i think he just went home." felix adds. i frown. chan perks up.

"is jisung home?" he asks. felix looks at him knowingly.

"he is, but he's with her." felix says the last word with disgust in his tone.

"christ she's always there." chan face palms.

"okay i'm confused." i jump in.

"we all live together." felix says. "me, chan, minho, jisung, seungmin, changbin, jeongin, and hyunjin." he lists out names, some of which i've never heard.

"gosh that must be a madhouse." chaesua laughs.

"sometimes." chan adds. "anyways, we need to get her out of the house."

"even if you do, he follows her wherever she goes." felix rolls his eyes.

"i can take care of that part, can you just get her out of the house?" he begs.

"i guess i can call seoyoon." he pulls out his phone and begins a conversation with whoever is on the other side. chan watches intently, and soon felix ends the call. "she'll be out, but only for about half an hour."

"that's plenty of time. let's go." chan begins pulling us down the street back to his car.

"what are we going to do?" i ask, climbing back into the passenger seat of his car.

"we're going to convince him."

chan swiftly unlocks the door to the rather large house him and the other guys live in. he motions for me to enter, when i do, a man is sat on the couch looking pretty irritated. minho is further back in the kitchen, sadness all over his face. he looks up and sends a fake smile upon seeing chan and i. the man on the couch simply glares at us.

"jisung, i'd like you to meet someone." chan starts, walking us towards the couch. his glare finally relaxes. "this is y/n, my soulmate." he gestures over to me as we sit down near jisung. upon hearing the word 'soulmate' i can almost see jisung stop himself from looking back to minho.

"nice to meet you, y/n." he bows slightly, i return. minho eyes chan and i intently.

"nice to meet you as well! where is your soulmate?" i ask, hoping to invoke a reaction. this time he does turn back to face minho. minho quickly looks away, jisung chuckles.

"don't have one." he coughs a little after speaking. minho doubles over slightly as well. i can see chan getting impatient.

"hey, don't lie to her." chan says defensively.

"man, i'm not getting into this." jisung stands up, his eyes wandering back to minho who is still doubled over. i see his eyes soften.

"are you lying to me?" i pry. his eyes still locked on minho who is avoiding his gaze.

"no." he replies. chan groans and prepares to make another impatient comment. "i'm lying to myself..." jisung whispers. minho's head snaps up, finally meeting jisung'a gaze. both of their eyes softened. i give chan a hopeful squeeze on his arm. chan stands up and slightly pushes jisung towards the kitchen. minho takes this opportunity to grab his arm. jisung seems shocked my the sudden contact.

chan and i watch in silence as the two boys stare into each others eyes for what seems like an eternity. jisung seems to have subconsciously moved closer to minho, who's ears are now colored a bright red. a subtle yet noticeable smile forms on jisung's face as he reaches out a hand to caress minho's jaw. minho leans into his touch, allowing a smile of his own to form.

"we should probably leave." chan whispers to me. i nod in agreement as we quietly sneak over to a side door as to not disturb the two boys. chan quietly twists the doorknob, pulling open the door suddenly causing four boys to fall to the ground with loud grunts. my eyes widen at the men rolling around the floor in pain. minho and jisung look over as well. "seriously?" chan yells.

"you owe me fifteen bucks." a taller man says while pushing a shorter one off of him.

"i thought they would go in the other door!" the shorter man defends.

"why are you guys even here?" chan speaks up, annoyed by the bickering.

"we heard 'jisung' and 'soulmate', of course we're going to listen!" one of them speaks up.

"did it happen?" a man with brown hair asks. we all look back over to the kitchen to see that minho and jisung are no longer there. "where did they go?" he asks.

"you probably scared him off!" the taller boy pushes the brown haired boy.

"if anyone scared them off, it was you!" he shoots back.

"it was all of you, idiots!" chan yells. the boys go silent. after a while they all turn their heads towards me.

"who's that?" the black haired boy asks, leaning up against the wall in a flirtatious manner. chan rolls his eyes.

"my soulmate." chan responds with emphasis on 'my'. the boy mutters an 'oh' and pushes himself off the wall awkwardly. i couldn't help but giggle slightly.

"i'm y/n!" i reach my hand out to the black haired boy. he smiles and takes it.

"i'm jeongin! and this is seungmin," he motions to the brown haired one, "hyunjin," motioning to the taller one, "and changbin." he finishes, motioning to the shorter one. they all bow slightly at me.

"it's nice to meet all of you!" i say happily, they all nod in response.

"where is yuna?" seungmin suddenly asks. is this the same seungmin that chan mentioned earlier?

"at her house." chan answers. "i'm really sorry, seungmin. i hate that i kept her from you." seungmin places his hand on chan's shoulder.

"it's okay." he says, turning his attention to me. "thank you." he smiles widely at me. i nod in response, unsure of what to say. seungmin breaks off from the group and walks out of the house, all of the boys smiling widely as he leaves.

"so do you think minho and jisung are good?" changbin asks.

"considering i don't hear any yelling, i think they're fine." hyunjin remarks.

"AHH!" a loud scream is heard from the next floor up.

"i think you spoke too soon." jeongin says as he turns to make his way towards the steps. chan grabs his arm to stop him.

"i don't think it was that kind of scream..." chan says. jeongin looks confused for a moment before widening his eyes in horror. we all break out into laughter at jeongin's reaction.

"i guess it was long overdue." hyunjin says laughing. we all agree wiping the tears off of our faces from laughing so hard.

"what's so funny?" we all turn to the direction of the voice, seeing a girl standing there, arms crossed. upon seeing her hyunjin and changbin burst into laughter once again. jeongin's eyes widen in horror once again, and chan clears his throat. "where's jisung?" she asks annoyed.

"i think we should step outside for this." chan puts his arm on her shoulder and leads her to the door. he motions for her to walk out first, once she does he quickly shuts the door, promptly locking it behind her.

"hey! what the hell!" she yells from behind the door angrily twisting the knob. chan turns around slowly to face all of us, jaws dropped at what he just did. he suddenly bursts into laughter causing the rest of us to do the same.

"i haven't laughed this hard in so long!"
