💐•Not Your Bouquet•💐

Why do allistics?

After being forced to eat together and apologize to eachother Hyunjin and Jisung were in the living room. Hyunjin sat on the couch and Jisung leaned against a table in silence. "When do you plan on leaving?" Hyunjin asked cutting the awkward silence. The younger hesistated but replied. "I don't know, It was sudden I didn't even know where we were going until I got in the car" The pink haired male sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Great." So they'll just sit here awkwardly and pray that time passes by in a blink of an eye? hell, this is literal hell.

"I tried to convince my mom to leave after eating but she wasn't having it" Jisung said with the longest sigh following behind it "Of course not, that's just how moms are I can't say anything mine will just get pissed" They stayed in silence again but it became a little unbearable for Jisung. "Can I see your artstudio?" "No." "damn..you didn't even hesistate.." He went quiet for a few seconds. "Please?" "No" "please please" "UGH" Hyunjin covered his ears as the younger kept begging. "Come onnnnnn.. we have nothing to dooooo.. Pleaaaaase" The taller stood up and shot him a quick glare then looked away. "Fine. if it gets you to shut up" "Yesss!" The squirrel looking boy celebrated

Jisung follows behind Hyunjin walking behind the stair case and into a room. The older turned on the light and closed the door behind them. "Woahh.. all of this was you?" "Obviously" Hyunjin walks towards the younger but keeps a big amount of space between them. "so many of these are covered, why's that?" "Well, if you used your fly brain you would go to the conclusion..that dust exists" Jisung faked frowned. "So mean.. umm..am I allowed to uncover them?" "Yeah yeah sure just don't break anything or drop anything OR MOVE anything other than the covers and put them back after u see the paintings" Jisung looked around in awe. "You have some unfinished works" "Yeah I just lose interest or forget the idea somehow, I do reuse the canvases though they won't stay like that forever" "ohhh" The younger walks towards a painting of a dog. "Is that your dog or..? I haven't seen a dog here.." "he's in my room" Hyunjin said as he collected some things. "by the way" He points at a painting sitting by a closet. "don't uncover that one" "why?" The older lifts a brow. "Because I say so" "okay.." the brunette averts his gaze off Hyunjins body who was putting away some paint brushes and keeps walking around. "What's your dogs name" "Kkami" "I would've assumed it was a girl if u didn't say he at first not gonna lie" "And I would've assumed I would never hold a conversation with you even if u started acting normal" "Aish." Hyunjin sighed and picked up some brushes and a cup. "I have to go throw these away" The pink haired male stepped out of the room quietly leaving the other boy alone.

Curiosity taking over him the second Hyunjin opened the door he went over to the painting the older had told him not to uncover. Not even thinking it twice he uncovered the painting knowing he had little to no time. There he saw a boy, or, Hyunjin crying as he held a bouquet of roses on one hand and a single rose on the other, this rose was cutting through his skin making him bleed. The rose on his hand was also different, from a different hue of red to its shape and leafs it was also almost as if it was growing from Hyunjins hand it wasn't picked and cut. Jisung blinked, it took him almost no time to realize what this painting meant and why Hyunjin was hiding it, specially from a guy like him. The brunette quickly went to cover the painting but it was too late, Hyunjin opened the door but seconds later footsteps stopped. "What are you doing?" "U-um" Curiosity killed the cat. Jisung got up and stood there not sure what to do or say. "Are you serious" "look-" "No, get out" "Let me ex-" "I told you, God I tell you one thing and you can't do it?!" Hyunjin exhaled. "I don't want our mothers to think we're arguing again, just- get out."

Jisung walked out with his head lowered and Hyunjin closed the door. He walked to the living room making the shorter male turn around. "I'm sorry-" "I don't want to hear it" The older walked away making Jisung sigh and bite his lip in frustration. "you're so stupid.." he whispered to himself.

Hyunjin was mentally preparing himself to meet Minho. Yes he was Felix's friend, yes he spoke a bit to him on the hang out, and yes the guy told him to not be worried. But he still was obviously, this was also Jisungs friend so he was scared shitless. He walked in the Cafe nervously spotting Minho by a table. The older waved at him and smiled. " Hyunjin-ssi~ hello" Hyunjin bowed. "Hello" "Do you want me to order for you? I still haven't ordered so don't worry" Minho asked. "Oh sure, thank you" Hyunjin told Minho what he wanted and he ordered. The older said it was better to sit outside since the store was packed and noisy so they did.

"I know you're probably wondering why I wanted to meet with you considering It's super random and I hardly know you" The brunette stated with a slight worried face. "Yeah honestly I was caught by surprise" "I assumed so...before I say anything please don't be mad at Felix and Jeongin and Seungmin for telling me anything" Hyunjin tilted his head in confusion but let the older continue. "I wanted to apologize for inviting Jisung I'm honestly very sorry and I had a conversation with him separately and all I'm sorry for not realizing I was hanging out with the wrong people sooner" Hyunjin widened his eyes and shook his head. "Oh- no- it's fine! It's not your fault at all its ok, Things like this are bound to happen we can't have a background check the moment we meet people" Minho bowed his head. "I'm glad to hear you aren't angry Im just upset that I accidentally made you uncomfortable and I wasn't even aware" "Again, It's fine, it wasn't you anyways you know"

Minho offered Hyunjin a walk. They walked around talking about different things, it certainly wasn't as easy as with Felix but they still did it. Minho was really understanding and patient and Hyunjin loved that, no wonder hes Felix's best friend. "Yeah he did mention something about someone but I never would've guessed it was you" Hyunjin says surprised. "Im shocked he even did that" Minho was also surprised at Jisungs actions. "Honestly I was pissed, maybe I still am" The taller says sighing. "Naturally. But also I've dealt with people like that, parents of the kids I take care of and having a deep talk with them does wonders, It's slow but a lot of the time it ends up being worth it" Hyunjin hums in agreement. "though that doesn't mean you have to, it's not your job to do it"

Suddenly someone stops Minho and becomes as bright as the sun. "Oh my god Minho!?" The brunette looks at the boy caught off guard. "Oh hey Seonghwa how are you?" Hyunjin stood there awkwardly and fidgety, maybe a little more than what he normally would be. "I've been good how about you? How have you been holding up?" "I've also been good" Seonghwa looks at Hyunjin weirdly. "you're still volunteering for that program thingy?" "Huh?" Minho blinks perplexed. "You know when you would go teach some disabled people stuff and walked around with them" Minhos mouth drops and he furrows his eyebrows. "um..no.. why do you ask..?" The last sentence had a hint of anger in it. "Oh because- who's the guy with you?" "He's my friend." Hyunjin waves and then bows looking away. "Oh..really? That's..cute?- cool?- it was nice seeing you again!" He pats Minho on the back and continues walking as he said that. Minho took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "I'm so sorry again, honestly I don't know what's wrong with people" "it's fine..people our age are just..ignorant" "Honestly I should've known, he was always bitchy about it back then, glad I don't speak to him much anymore" Hyunjin looked back at the guy from earlier who was walking in the distance. Did people really have this much distaste for others just because they were disabled. He really doesn't get it..it's not even his fault.

Authors note: the last scene is a reference to a kdrama so shout out to extraordinary attorney woo🫶 Also I love you Seonghwa.
