Painful Secrets

Chapter 17

"Minho hyung?" A familiar voice spoke and Minho instantly recognized it as Jeongin's.

Minho turned his head and saw Jeongin standing right next to the couch he fell asleep on.

"Yes?" He asked.

"Are you okay?"Jeongin asked, his face shining with concern.

"Yeah, I guess."Minho lied.

At this point, Minho wanted to spill every single bean that was tacked in his brain. But he didn't want to face the consequences. Especially with Seungmin around.

If Minho looked closer into the situation, for some reason, Seungmin was the main cause of the distance between Jeongin and Minho.

But, Minho knew from Seungmin's perspective that Seungmin didn't have any romantic feelings for Jeongin. He seemed to love Jeongin in a familial and platonic way, but did Jeongin love Seungmin the same way?

"Do you know where Seungmin hyung is?"

Minho swore that the question would've sent Minho's temper over the edge.

"He's out running an errand with Changbin. He won't be back till midnight."

"Oh." Jeongin said quietly, looking down at his feet.

"Do you have trouble sleeping without Seungmin?" Minho asked.

"Not really." Jeongin answered. "I just feel scared when I sleep by myself."

"Why is that?"

"Nightmares."

After hearing the response, Minho probably might've asked Jeongin a question that would've left Jeongin saying, "What the fuck!?"

"Do you want to sleep with me?"

Minho mentally slapped himself for blurting out such a dumb suggestion and he expected Jeongin to reject the next second but to his surprise, he said :

"Sure."
