bangchan-

"Chan! Listen to yourself! You just said you wanted to give your toxic rapist ex a second chance in front of your boyfriend!" Minho snapped.

"I didnt mean it in a dating way! I just want to be frien-"

"Shut up! Bahng Christopher Chan do you hear yourself. You sound like a fucking cheater! Jennie raped and abused you and you keep trying to get her back! You went back to her before but it didnt work out did it? She wont change. Youre lucky that Hyunjin seems to be an understanding person because I know I would have dumped you right there. Hyunjin wont do that because hes Hyunjin! Theres no proper way to describe it. Youre acting like " Minho seethed, Bangchan looked down taking in everything Minho said. "Ji, can you go hang out with Hannah?"

Jisung nodded and left to go with Hannah, they brought Bbama so they could play.

"I fucked up." Bangchan sat back on the bed, he knew he fucked up. He knew he could have worded everything differently but he didnt.

"Yea and your fuck up can be resolved. Im sorry for yelling at you but you needed that news flash." Minho sighed and sat next to Chan on the bed.

"What do I do?" Chan leaned his head on Minhos shoulder. The younger always giving the right amount of comfort everytime.

"He most likely wants to talk through it. But he went to Seungmins, Seungmin scares me." Minho gently rubbed Bangchans back to help soothe him.

"Should I wait? Do I give him space? What if he doesnt want to talk to me?" Bangchan clenched his fists worriedly. Any thought of Hyunjin not talking to him scared him.

"If he doesnt want to talk to y-"

"HYUNJIN HAS TO COME BACK! HE CANT LEAVE! I DONT WANT HIM TO LEAVE!" Hannah bursted into the room with tears streaming down her face. Ji right behind her panting.

"Shit shes fast... Sorry guys." Jisung apologized, Chan stared at her. She never said any name right. None of Bangchans friends or even extended family had their names pronounced right.

"Please Channie.. Please dont let him leave forever. He promised me he wouldnt! So now you have to not let him go!" Hannah cried turning around and burying her face in Hans stomach.

"Come on Hannah, we can talk about this in your room yea?" Ji slowly led her out, he gave Chan a serious look before closing the door.

"Hey Chan. You can text him and ask if he wants to come talk about it and when. But dont push him into talking to you. Let him set it up." Minhos gentle voice reassured Bangchan. "Couples go through arguments and disputes but you have to work through them."

Bangchan nodded and took out his phone to type a message.

hyunjin-

"Bangchan wants his ex back. He said it all. In front of me!" He sobbed even louder. "She took advantage of him and he wants her back! What if he doesnt actually like me? What if he likes her better? What i-"

"Hyun, listen to me. I know that whatever he said may have hinted at that but theres no way in hell he meant it like that. He pisses me off sure but hes a forgiving person. If im thinking correctly, he just wants her as a friend. However he worded it doesnt matter to me. I know it matters to you because youre his boyfriend. I see the way Bangchan looks at you, the whole fucking galaxy in his eyes. He needs you more than he needs that girl. She took advantage of him, you didnt. Youre his boyfriend, hes your boyfriend. Work through this talk to eachother. But dont break up over this, it could be a misunderstanding." Seungmin wiped Hyunjins tears to slowly soothe him. It worked. Seungmin always knew how to make Hyunjin feel better.

"Oka-"

Ping

Hyunjin looked at his phone, Bangchan sent him a message.

Hyun, Im sorry. I said that completely wrong and I understand if you need a break. I want to talk to you about this in person. Im sorry about what I said about Jennie. I dont want to push you into talking to me.

Take your time. Message me whenever youre ready to talk.

"Now sleep. Its good to rest after mentally draining moments." Seungmin patted Hyunjin on the back and led him to his and Jeongins room.

"What about Innie?" Hyunjin paused remembering Jeongin had moved in after his mother found out he was gay.

"He would understand, he would definitely snuggle you all day." Seungmin nudged Hyunjin forward and knocked on his room door.

"Minnie?" Jeongin opened the door, he was wearing an oversized hoodie (which was Seungmins) and sweatpants. His white hair ruffled, he looked at Hyunjin and his eyes softened.

"Is Hyunjin okay to stay in the room for a li-"

"Come on in Hyun." Jeongin pulled Seungmin and Hyunjin in. The room was clean and Boblox was up on the computer. He left the game and shut the computer off before he sat on the bed.

"Thanks guys.." He joined Jeongin on the bed, he sat across from him. Jeongin hugged him out of nowhere, that was odd for him to feel. Jeongin wasnt much of a guy to give out hugs.

Getting that hug from Jeongin made Hyunjin cry. Tears instantly falling from his eyes, Seungmin joined them and hugged Hyunjin too. Both of them held Hyunjin closely, this is the love he needed most.

Jeongin held him the same way his father held him years ago. Tight but not to tight, holding him like he would disappear any second. He held him like a father holds their most precious child.

Seungmin held him gently, like a fragile piece of glass that would shatter any second. It was the kind of hug you would get after having gone through horrible things and barely making it out alive.

He needed those hugs more than anything else in the world. He wanted something else. He wanted the hug a boyfriend would give after an argument. The kind where he holds on tight like the other is going to drift off. The kind of hug that feels like it will protect you from anything, even a bomb.

That kind of hug is what he wanted. He wanted it from one person.

He wanted Bangchan.
