part five

Minho and Jisung's apartment was small yet so homey. With plants scattered across the apartment and multiple pictures of the pair's friends and mainly Jisung's family plastered on the walls, it definitely gave off a welcoming aura. 

Haeun spread out on the couch, her head resting on one of the pillows, staring at the ceiling with an expression which spoke her mind, stress. The poor woman groaned as she turned her head into the soft fabric, a muffled groan audible from the kitchen. 

"She's been like that for the last 30 minutes." Minho stated, removing his arm from Jisung's waist as the pair had been eyeing the helpless girl from the kitchen. 

Jisung pouted, a wash of guilt rushing over him as he knew there was nothing he could do to help, his eyes travelled from Haeun to Minho, who wore a soft expression. Minho reached out and rested his hand on Jisung's cheek, making the younger melt to his touch, it was almost as if the older had read his mind.

"Felix and Hyunjin should be here soon anyway so hopefully they can help." Minho smiled, rubbing his thumb against his cheek. "Why didn't you tell Haeun about Chan?"

"We weren't even sure if he was going to debut with us!" Han huffed. " We didn't want to upset her or anything- especially since he did what he did..." 

"It's okay, Ji." Minho pulled Han closer to him and rested his hand on the back of his head, wrapping his free arm around his waist, they had been together so long that Minho immediately knew the best way to comfort Jisung. Yet again, a faded tint of red flushed on Jisung's cheeks as he wrapped his arms back around Minho. "I understand why you did- I wouldn't even know where to start."

"I only told you because you're my boyfriend."

Minho raised an eyebrow as Jisung tilted his head to make eye contact with him. "And...?"

"And I love you."

"You two are so disgusting it makes me want to turn back around and leave."

The pair quickly moved apart and stared at the culprit, or well culprits but let's leave the innocent out of this, who had creeped into the apartment. 

Felix slapped Hyunjin's arm, making him almost cry in pain- he didn't, but he sure acted like it. 

"It's always a pleasure to see you too, Hyunjin." Minho groaned and rolled his eyes playfully at the taller.

"Ignore him- we're here because on an 'emergency'?" Felix frowned, no one seemed hurt sooo...

Wordlessly, Minho pointed to the couch to reveal Haeun, head still in the pillow and all. The pair's expression changed as they had not even noticed she was there.

Felix was immediately by her side, rubbing her back and whispering comfort her way. Haeun lifted her head and smiled, engulfing her best friend in a hug. 

The three stood back and watched their friend, still concerned for her. When she had entered the apartment, she mumbled something to do with Jaemin before landing face first into their couch. 

All of a sudden, Jisung's eyes widened as he came to a realisation, quickly moving from the other two and pacing in the kitchen. Minho and Hyunjin shared a glance at Jisung's sudden change in behaviour, he seemed anxious, walking in a line and biting his nails.

Minho walked to Jisung, confusion and concern in his eyes, he placed a hand on his upper arm causing Jisung to stop walking and look at the shorter. 

"What's wrong, Ji?" Minho frowned, scanning his face and taking in his expression.

"Chan is coming here- SHIT I forgot I had asked if he wanted to work on a side track before the official release." Jisung threw his hands up in his own frustration.

As if on cue, the doorbell chime danced throughout the house, making everyone look at the door. Fuck.
