"So, did you think that Jisung was acting strange today as well or no?" Changbin asked suddenly, "At first I didn't think anything of it, but as the day went on, I felt he was actually acting really odd."

"Yeah, I tried talking to him- or rather asking about it, but he wasn't comfortable sharing anything," Felix shook his head, "so we just kind of have to wait until he comes to us."

The older hummed with a slow nod, "I just hope he's alright, that's all I want."

"Me too, but he'll be okay, I'm sure of it," Felix added with a nod of his own. Changbin was silent for a moment, trying to think of how to form the proper words to say,  "I don't know it's just something about the way he acted around Minho specifically during our third break- our lunch break actually. It was just... very unlike him."

"Wait what? Did I miss something?" The foreigner asked, moving to sit up on the bed and Changbin subconsciously mirrored his actions.

The two were cuddled up on the younger's bed and had been there since practice had ended, watching Impractical Jokers since it was one of the foreigner's favorite shows. And of course, because it was, it was also beginning to become one of Changbin's favorites too. But suddenly their focus wasn't on the TV. But now, the show had simply become background noise.

"Oh, shit, right," Changbin nodded, "you'd gone to the bathroom and missed it, but, Minho had gone to sit by Jisung and he looked at Minho with the most shocked expression like it was completely out of the ordinary for Minho to be even remotely near him. Jisung even went as far as to, like, continuously scoot away from him. I think I might be the only one who noticed them, but I kept an eye on them and eventually noticed Jisung was basically inhaling his food. I was kind of worried that he was going to choke since it literally looked like he wasn't even stopping to breathe properly. And then, once he finished his food, you had come back into the room, and he ran out like he'd just discovered that was an option. I don't know where he ran off to, but I do think that he was trying to avoid Minho."

"What the hell is going on with him? He's been acting weird around Minho for weeks at this point," Felix sighed gently, "no, months now, actually."

"Yeah, I was going to say that too," Changbin nodded, as he started thinking, "since... at least five-star."

"Damn," Felix took a deep breath, "what do you think is going on?"

"Maybe they had an argument?" The older one shrugged even though he knew what the duo were like when they were upset or mad.

And Felix knew too, which was why he said, "well, it's not like that when they argue. They avoid each other to cool off before talking again. And Minho isn't acting odd either, it's just Jisung."

"Right," the older man nodded before pausing to think again, coming up with nothing, "you're right, it's different than when they argue, I just don't know."

"Maybe... ugh, I genuinely have no clue," Felix shrugged, "maybe it's the ship?"

"How so?" The older asked in return.

"Like, maybe that's what's getting to him? Minsung has been talked about so much lately especially since Want So Bad came out and their two kids show episode, and our new year's TikTok and how Jisung got Minho again," Felix explained.

"That could be it," Changbin slowly nodded again, "I can see Jisung acting awkward because of that, maybe he's trying to put some distance so that Minho won't get the wrong idea or something?"
