Silent Love 2

"What is going on here?"

Chan asked sternly. The tension in the room was thick, which was a usual result of Chan's frustration. It made the small space of the studio feel even smaller than it was.

Minho and Jisung stood at opposite sides of the room. Their bodies squared up, turning their attention to Chan who joined them in the stand off.

The rest of them were sitting on the nicely decorated sofa, watching like scared puppy dogs.

"We should go."

Changbin said, getting up to try and lead the uninvolved out of the room. Seungmin followed, but the rest were hesitant to leave. 

"Yo come on, let's get out of here!"

Changbin's voice was quiet and stern, the rest followed him out of the room. They said nothing, only looking on as they left.

Minho met eyes with Felix and Hyunjin, easily the two he spent the most time with. The ones he was like a mentor to. Admittedly their confused and concerned gazes made his stomach turn. He thought of what a terrible example he was being, and the shame made him ill.

Seeing Jisung, that made him feel worse. His name made his blood boil and his heart throb, his face made him want to throw up. But he didn't want to look away. Even though he desperately wished he could.

The door closed.

"I need answers, this is ridiculous! We have a job to do and you two are preventing us all from getting it done."

Chan looked at their faces but Minho and Jisung avoided his eyes. They looked at eachother, albeit briefly. Flashing glances that were easy to decipher.

"What has been going on? I expect you to be honest with me because I'll know when you're lying."

The two stayed silent. They only looked at Chan.

"Or I'll just assume you're lying if the excuse sucks. Don't make this harder than it needs to be."

[What happened previously? Well, while they were recording a song- the lyrics hit a bit close to home for Minho and the situation with Jisung. Minho was ignoring it until Jisung looked at him while singing a specific line. This, along with the overall awkwardness between the two, made Minho blow up. They almost fought each other, now we're here.]

"I'm sorry hyung.."

Minho broke the silence, bowing to Chan. Chan looked at him, and pitied him slightly.

"Please just explain yourself."

Minho felt embarrassed to admit the reason why he was upset, so he thought maybe it'd be fine to skirt around it. He lifted his head and saw Chan's eyes, ready to judge his alibi. Minho knew he couldn't get away with it, he'd have to tell the truth.

He closed his eyes while he took a deep breath. He wiped his palms on his pants. It felt like his mouth was paralyzed, he wanted to open it but his fear of admitting the truth kept him quiet.

But now he had to speak, and he knew that. And Jisung knew that he had to tell the truth, the naked feeling of admitting something so secret was shared.

"The reason I was upset...was because Jisung looked at me when he sang those lyrics."

The tension was thicker than it was before. Chan was now being a bit affected by the nerves of Minho and Jisung. Their anxious bodies were making the scene unbearable for Chan. But he stood there and continued to listen to Minho's agonizing explanation.

"And the reason why that made me so upset was because..."

He looked at Jisung, who's eyes seemed to plead with Minho not to tell the truth. Minho faltered, and as evil as it sounds he liked that Jisung was begging him not to say anything. The bitter, vindictive side of him was eager to admit the truth at Jisung's expense.
