Chapter 3

The next day, Straykids had to practice the choregraphy of TA. That time, unlike the last time, Han was very willing and determined to dance. The man was full of energy after yesterday's break. He was jumping around so much that the other members had to tell him to keep his energy for the long upcoming day. During the dance, Chan told him to be less dynamic because it was making him mess up the choreo. Jisung even ended up slapping Minho's ass so hard that he screamed.

During a break, while Minho walked by Han, drinking water, the youngest slapped his butt again, almost making him spit the liquid he had in his mouth. "Yah ! Han Jisung !" He turned around, only to see his friend laughing like a kid. "Give peace a chance. You're too active today, I swear." Minho complained, quickly closing his water bottle.

"You're the one who's thirty mate."

At this moment, Minho opened his eyes widely and hesitated to throw his bottle at his friend's face. "Unlike you, I am thirsty for water, bitch."

The youngest gasped, getting up, ready to fight. "You're the first to slap everyone's butt, BITCH."  He reminded, pointing him out with his index. They laughed together.

"If you keep arguing with me about that, I am going to start counting everytime you slap my butt and we'll see who's the butt thirty guy." Minho crossed his arms.

"That's what we'll see."

They sat there, together, on the small black leathered couch, focusing on breathing and slowing their heart rate down, waiting for the staff to tell them that the break was over.

"Let's make it perfect." The leader was enthusiastic as he walked to the center of the room, clapping one time in his hands and rubbing them together afterwards.

The music blasted once again. The members of the group heard this song so many times that they started to get annoyed by it, having it 24/7 stuck in their head. Han was a bit calmer but his eyes were still somewhere else. He was a lot more aware of his own moves and body, but he was also more aware of Minho's. Who wouldn't want to look at such beautiful shapes ? Jisung noticed every detail, every inch of him went in a different, assigned place. That boy had such good control of his body, the way he was placing it wherever he decided was hypnotizing. Eventually, Han would mirror Minho's moves instead of doing his own part. He would laugh it off but still told himself to care about himself. He used to tell himself that he was the mistake of the group, forbidding the group to do everything perfectly even if it was wrong to think that. Minho noticed Han's mistakes and where his eyes were laying on. "Get your goddamn eyes off me, Han Ji."

"You're being dramatic ! It's not going to kill anyone if I check you out a bit."

"Shut the fuck up. I'm going to take you to church someday."

"Hah. Try. I'm a walking sin."

Chan looked at them. "Shut up, both of you and concentrate."

"..or get a room." Changbin added quietly, but everyone heard and giggled. "Yeah, good idea Bin-ie !" Minho took Han by his arm and dragged him to the door, waving to the rest of the group and pretending to leave. Obviously, they did not leave and came back to the center of the room with the group. Han was just confused. "You took the -get a room- too seriously."

"Whatever. Do you want us to reexplain the choregraphy to you ?" Seungmin kindly asked.

Jeongin stepped out. "I don't think he forgot the choregraphy. The problem is that he's watching Minho dance and do the same moves accidentally."

After this observation, Felix walked to the boys. "Ooh, looks like someone's obsessed." He jokingly said as he patted Han's shoulder. He even winked at him.

"Felix." Chan called, making Felix laugh through his nose as he saw Han's face.

"I already noticed guys, but he's probably watching me as a tutor I guess." Minho smiled, wanting to put himself in a good position.

After Minho's comment, Han kind of blushed, scratching the back of his head and playing with the collar of his t-shirt. "I indeed watch him too much. I mean..he's hot." He tried to defend himself, only making the situation worse. "Just look at him ! He's attracting my eyes." Jisung pointed him out with both hands. The room was filled with laughter and some small "Yes." from here or there.

"Don't look at me as if I could actually do something about it !" Minho finally pronounced, stepping back.

Everyone laughed at this reaction. "Maybe, just maybe, I watch him too. But it's just because he does."

"It's fine guys. But just focus more on yourself ! We're almost done, I swear." Bangchan encouraged in a laugh.

They approved before walking back to their assigned places. They looked at each other, chuckling like little kids.

Soon enough, Straykids was done with that day's work. It was already late though. Like last time, Han and Minho walked each other to their respective rooms. In the beige corridor, the two talked about their difficulties of the day or, on the other hand, the moments they were the most proud of. Sticking together as always. Minho's hand bumped not once but twice onto his friend's. And so did Han's. As a result, Minho hesitated to grab the boy's hand. Instead, they just rubbed together but the second boy had enough of this little teasing. He decided to gently grab Lino's pinky finger and held onto it. They did not even share an eye contact, but a little smile could definitely be seen, on both of their face, looking down.

Once they arrived at their doors, they pulled apart. Grinning to the other while sharing some nice words to say goodbye. Minho unexpectedly took a step forward. Not a small one. Which surprised Han. The black haired one paused, blinking several times before taking another step. He then wrapped his arms around Jisung's body, resting his head in his neck.

In his mind, there was only one thought. "I don't want to let you go." Obviously, he did not say it out loud but still tried to show it with that heartwarming, long hug. Han sighed in relief and relaxed his body as he took Minho in his arms too. "Let the fear you have fall away. I'm not gonna leave you." Han managed to feel what Minho was thinking about and feeling like. He then decided to tighten the hug. "Ahh you're gonna crush me up !" Minho complained. 

"You're being overdramatic." They separated.

"Whatever." Minho waved at Han. "I'm going!"

Han beamed. "Then go, goodnight mate."

Instead of actually going, they both stood there, frozen. Minho turned around again and in a hurry, he hugged Han one last time. Han let out a little "Aww."

"There's nothing to -aww- about!" He groaned.

"There is. You surprise me a lot lately Lino. That's cool... You're cool." The youngest of the two muttered in the other's ear.

Once the hug was over, Minho said nothing. He just smiled and actually went into his room, locking the door behind him.

"Goodnight, Han."
