part 5:
"i was not staring at your ass" -seo changbin

"So, you're back with your old boyfie?" Jisung questioned, leaning over the counter in the old familiar bookstore. He was perched on the arm of the old couch Changbin used to frequent.

"No. He was never my 'boyfie' in the first place, and I don't even know if we're friends right now." Changbin argued back, slumping over the counter. "It's complicated."

"Wait, but let me get this straight. You guys see each other every single day for hours upon end, he stayed the night over at your house, and his sexy friend basically gave you the bro approval?"

"We see each other every day because we're literally working together, you illiterate shit. It's the exact same as when I literally hated your guts but saw you five days a week because you kept scheduling the same fucking shift as me," Changbin retorted. "And stop making it sound like a fun sleepover, he called me drunk and I had no choice but to take him. He was literally passed out on the table."

"I think you're missing the fact that he called you drunk. Out of all the people— Hyunjin, Minho, his manager, surely a buttload of other people as well— he chose the person who's basically his ex?"

"He was drunk."

"Drunk talks are sober thoughts."

"I was probably just his first contact. Don't overthink this, Jisung."

"Okay," he sighed. "Let me ask you one more thing, though."

"Sure."

"Do you like Felix? Would you date him, if he asked you out? Because this thing you two has is touching boundaries between friends, strangers, and lovers."

"I don't know," Changbin answered truthfully. He swung the latch under the counter open, clambering over to the employee side of the counter and collapsing upon the familiar leather of what used to be his couch. "I really don't. It's so unfamiliar, and I really had moved on until he just fucking popped into my life."

"Let me make this simpler." Jisung plopped next to him on the couch. "Are you attracted to Felix in a purely physical sense?"

"I think you know the answer to that."

"I want to hear it from you, though."

"Of course I am. Look at him. He's like the reincarnation of Aphrodite, the human version of Venus. I like his little button nose, his cupid's bow, his doe eyes, his freckles... I could go on and on. Also, he has a nice ass."

"Damn, you're seriously whipped. I'm surprised about the ass part, though— you've always had your gaze tilted upwards when it comes to people. How'd you notice his ass, anyway? Very un-Changbin, you're stepping to the uncivilized ass-watcher's level now."
