Pov Seungmin

A woman opened the door, looking at Seungmin with a suspicious look which kinda scared him.

"Mrs. Lee?"

"That's me. Who are you?"

"I uh... I'm Minho's friend, my name is Seungmin. Actually, I came here to talk to you about him."

Minho's mom stepped back, leaving enough space for Seungmin to go in. The young boy gave a last glance at Minho, and went in.

Everything seemed messy. Minho's mom led him to the living room, and they both sat on the couch, looking at each other.

"I know that every family has problems, and it's none of my business what problems are they. But I've noticed that hyung barely smiles. He doesn't get to spend time with his best friend, who means so much to him. Minho hyung is most of the time unorganised, and never does his homework. He is so kind and friendly, and can do a lot of things, but he can't show it, because he never has time for absolutely nothing."

Minho's mom was listening to him carefully, like it was the first time she was hearing someone talking calmly.

"What I'm asking for is to let him get out for once. And not just go to school. Minho hyung, like everyone in this world, deserves to be happy. What makes him happy is Jisung. But they barely spend time together, because Minho hyung is low-key trapped in here. Jisung participates in an event tonight, and trust me, it would mean a lot to both of them if hyung attended that event to see Jisung."

Seungmin talked like he never had talked before. It was the first time he talked to someone he didn't know, that much, for something that was honestly none of his business.

Minho was looking at them from the window, and he could hear literally everything they said.

His mom luckily didn't notice, otherwise she would believe that Minho made him say all that.

Minho's mom grabbed her phone, and called her son, telling him to immediately come home to decide his fit for the night.

Seungmin got so excited, he jumped of the couch, with both of his hands covering his mouth.

"Thanks for talking to me, young boy. I didn't know Minho was feeling that way. We have a lot of problems, sometimes it feels unreal, because they are a lot. I want the best for Minho, but he's most of the time the only one who can help us. He's so smart and he comes up with amazing solutions, but once a problem is fixed, another one comes up. And when he can't help, we still keep him here in case we need him. I appreciate what you did today."

Minho went home, trying to hold back his tears. He looked around him, like it was a whole different house. It was really quiet.

He hugged his mom tightly, and without asking where the other family members were, he ran to his room, with Seungmin following him shyly.

They went to the elder's room, and Minho closed the door behind him. He looked at Seungmin, and hugged him so tight, that the younger felt like he would explode.

But what he also felt, was Minho's tears on his shoulder. He looked at him and pouted.

"Hyung, don't cry. It's the first time your house is quiet, don't cry this time, too."

"Seungmin I- I will never be able to do something that big to show you how thankful I am. I heard everything, and I just- thank you so much."

Minho said, as he got off the younger's hug. Seungmin smiled, and with confidence opened Minho's closet.

"You don't have to do anything. Now, what are you gonna wear?"

They spend some time in front of the closet, but in the end they created a fit that looked amazing on Minho.

"Should I tell Felix to come, too?"

Minho widened, and his breath almost stopped. He couldn't understand how Seungmin found out.

"Come on, it's pretty obvious. Yeah, I decided it. I'll tell him to come. He has to come tho, I'll sing, too."

Not betraying Jisung, Minho won't find out that Jisung told me.

"Wait, what? Really? What will you sing?"

"Uh... I'll sing... Well, it's a surprise. Let's go back, They're probably looking for us."

Minho nodded, and they quickly left, without telling anyone anything. Minho, for the first time, felt free.

He still had tears in his eyes, but he was so happy, so they were tears of joy. And Seungmin was happy to see him like that.

"But, hey. Let's not tell Jisung you'll come. It can be a surprise."

Minho agreed immediately, and they went back to Seungmin's house, going in like nothing happened.

"Why are you crying?! But... You're also happy?"

"He talked to my mom! I think I will finally be able to go out! Well, starting from tomorrow."

Minho said, full of excitement and enthusiasm, but keeping the fact that he'd go to the event a secret.

Even Jisung couldn't believe it. Seungmin explained it all, and said everything word by word, but hiding their secret well. He didn't mention it a single time.

"We're having a sleepover tomorrow!"

Jisung looked so happy, that made Seungmin smile, too. But he was still mad at him.

He started to believe that Jisung actually just played with him one time, and then went back to Heather.

But he didn't have enough time to think about it. He forced Hyunjin to find a way to tell them to leave, since Seungmin couldn't.

Not that Hyunjin could, but at least he did a better job than what Seungmin would've done.

Once they left, Seungmin explained everything, and told Hyunjin why he'd go there to sing.

Hyunjin agreed to help him choose his fit, and practice the song, which wasn't hard for Seungmin.

"You will look like a star up there. A real singer. My singer."

"You won't ever stop saying that, will you?"

"No, never."
