"Busy or lazy. Stop lying you had two days' holiday and nothing to do. Don't you forget that we're in the same class jisung?" said Minho raising an eyebrow with a little smirk.
"no .... I was just ...just ...." Before Jisung could finish his sentence Chan jumped in and said
"lazy huh... Just admit it already "with a bored look
................................

It seemed like Minho and Jisung became frank and overcome the awkwardness thanks to the cafe incident( here it is referring to the pocket picker incident )

..................................

Jisung and Minho started laughing and later joined Chan.

The stack of clothes that were laying on the bed was now resting on the floor as jisung made space for them to sit.

They talked for hours until jisung asked something which turned the room into silence.
"is something going on between your father and you?"
He sure doesn't know how to read rooms but we can't say anything to him since
he was just curious. According to him, they were already close friends and friends don't keep secrets right.

Unaware of the fact that Minho is not just someone who opens up so easily.

The question for obvious reasons changed the atmosphere.
The silence stood for a whole minute.

When Minho was hit with reality he can't escape no matter where he goes.
It wasn't like he didn't trust them but not enough to share this side of his life.

He kinda expected this question but not so soon. He wasn't prepared yet..
He needed some time to collect his own thoughts.
He had no choice but to break the silence.
The most clever way was grabbing the water bottle near him.
He drank it till he felt contented.

"hmm... nothing much... just." he was still hesitating until Chan interrupted his thoughts.
"it's okay if you don't wanna tell. we understand" he said with a reassuring smile.
Minho said nothing further and just hummed in response.
Jisung further added," Let's watch a movie."

After a serious discussion of five minutes on choosing between Harry and the cars.
They agreed on watching harry potter.

It was hard for Chan but he found himself slowly blending with them. Somewhere deep down his heart he still misses his friend.
