Silent Secrets - Minsung

Chapter 24

Sunday evening:
Jisung's POV:

Jisung:
Hey Minnie.
Have you been doing ok recently?
I suppose I just wanna know why you seem to be more shut off lately?

Minnie:
I've been fine.
Not that you seem to care anymore Jisung.

Jisung:
What??
Tf?
Where did that come from Seungmin?

Minnie:
Idk, we just never seem to talk anymore.
You're always too busy with your new little mates.
Only time you do talk to me is to scold me 'for being mean to poor little Channie.'

Jisung:
I'm sorry Minnie.
I really didn't mean for it to seem that I was too busy for you, you surely know that, right?
But you have to see why I scold you so much.
You're so cold. To all of us, and I'm sorry if I have made you feel left out or whatever but the others don't deserve that...
And although we all tease Chan, you often take it way too far.

Minnie:
Dude, I didn't even want to become friends with them.
One day they just came to the group and me, Hyunjin and Jeongin were forced to just accept it. Of course, now Jeongin's with Chan so he's perfectly ok with them and Hyunjin being the social butterfly he is can fit it anywhere.
But we weren't even asked.
Yes, it may seem stupid to you now but remember when you were too afraid to meet new people? Remember how we had that in common?
So imagine how I felt when there was not only 1 surprise person but 3??

Jisung:
Fuck.

Minnie:
Yeah, Jisung. Exactly.

Jisung:
Well, then why haven't you brought it up before now?
Why have you let what? Resentment? Build up so much?

Minnie:
Be real. How could I??
You all wanted them there. I would have looked like a complete dick if I had said anything.

Jisung:
Well... things haven't ended up much better Seungmin...
But as I said, I am truly sorry for springing them upon you so suddenly.
I shouldn't have done that.

Minnie:
You're not completely to blame, so don't be too hard on yourself.
I'm sorry for not voicing how I felt...

Jisung:
So what now?

Minnie:
I don't know...
I suppose I need to apologise to Chan...

Jisung:
If you could, that would be great...

Minnie:
Will do, don't worry.
Anyways, I'm going to sleep now.
Night Sungie.

Jisung:
Night Minnie.

It was getting quite late now, so with that he put his phone down and went to get ready for bed, content with his conversation with Seungmin.

Around 3am that night:
Minho's POV:

Minho was awoken by his phone ringing loudly, he quickly rolled over to silence his phone, so it hopefully wouldn't wake his mother. He then checked to see who it was. Seeing that it was Jisung, Minho answered confused as to why Jisung was calling him this late at night. "Hey baby? What's up?" Minho whispered. But then he heard choked sobs coming from Jisung. "Baby, ok. Deep breaths now, ok? Everything is going to be ok. Can you breathe with me? Ready? In... Out..." Minho helped Jisung calm his breathing before he asked again, "Sungie, what happened? What's wrong?" "I had a nightmare. I need you, Minho. Can you please come over?" Jisung practically begged. Minho was conflicted. He knew he wasn't going to say no to Jisung but he didn't know how he was going to sneak out of his house and he dreaded the consequences of sneaking out if his mother found out that he was gone. "Of course Sungie. I'll be there as soon as I can..." Minho whispered hesitantly. "Thank you Hyungie, I'll see you soon" Jisung mumbled. With that, the call was hung up. Minho hoped his mother was asleep or just not downstairs, if she was downstairs, he'd be in trouble. But the only other option was the window and there was no way Minho would be jumping out of a window. So as quietly as he could he made his way downstairs, luckily the lights were off so he practically ran to the door, grabbed his keys from the entrance hallway table and bolted out the door to his car. As soon as he started his car, he sped away. He was definitely getting caught for this, but Minho was done with his mother. Fuck what she expected of him and fuck her punishments. Jisung needed him and so Minho focused on that instead of his mother.

Once he arrived at Jisung's apartment, he flew up the flights of stairs and went into Jisung's apartment. Jisung was in his bed, curled up with tears streaming down his face. "Oh my god Sungie" Minho said as he quickly went and engulfed Jisung in a hug. "Oh, Sungie baby. My beautiful boy, it's ok. I don't know what happened but it's not real baby." Minho tried to assure him. "But Minho it is" Cried Jisung. "What do you mean baby? You said you had a nightmare right?" Minho was slightly confused as Jisung started to cry harder. "It was. A complete nightmare. It was the night of my sister's murder Minho..." Jisung was inconsolable now, and Minho couldn't help, he had no words because what was there to say? So he just rocked Jisung back and forth. They stayed like that for 20 minutes until Minho realised that Jisung had cried himself to sleep. Sighing sadly, he just laid them both down and attempted to also fall asleep.
