Debt // Minsung

08 Fancy

It's already 11 AM, and Jisung just remembered he has to go to the mall to get some stuff, and he doesn't have any vehicle.

Should I borrow Channie hyung's car, or should I just use a cab nearby? Jisung wonders. Then it hits him, Bangchan hyung's place is in the middle of nowhere. Jisung thinks for a while, I guess I have to ask him to lend me his car, then.

Jisung makes his way to the kitchen where Bangchan is making lunch for everyone.

He's such husband material, Jisung thinks to himself.

"Hey, Chan hyung?" Jisung calls out quietly.

Banghan, who is focused on lunch preparations, turns to Jisung. "Yeah, Sung? Do you need something?" he asks.

"Do you know where the nearest mall is from here?" Jisung asks.

"Um, yeah, why? Do you need clothes or something else?" Banghan asks, sounding a bit concerned.

Jisung hesitates for a moment, contemplating whether to share his true intentions.

"Well, actually, I just wanted to go to the mall alone," Jisung admits, adding a half-truth. "I have something in mind."

Banghan nodded understandingly. "Sure, no problem. If you want, you can take my car. It's parked outside, and I won't be needing it today. Just be careful and let me know if you need anything."

A grateful smile crossed Jisung's face. "Thanks a lot, Chan hyung! I really appreciate it. I won't take long, I promise."

Just as Jisung was about to leave, Minho and the others piped up.

"Hey, Sung, do you mind if I come along? I need to pick up a few things too," said Felix.

"Sorry, Lix, I just wanted to go alone if you don't mind," Jisung replied politely. "I'll catch up with you guys later."

Minho persisted, "Come on, it'll be fun! We can hang out and grab lunch together."

"Sorry, Minho, but no. I'll just grab a few things and be back at 1," said Jisung.

"Okay then, Sung, take care. And don't bump into trouble," warned Seungmin.

"Thanks, Seungmin, I'll be careful," Jisung replied with a smile, appreciating his friend's concern.

With a final wave to his friends, Jisung strolled out of the house and headed towards Chan's ride parked in the driveway.

"Huh? Chan mentioned a regular car, not some flashy shit?" Jisung muttered under his breath.

Intrigued, he quickly turned around and headed back into the house to find Chan. Eventually, he spotted him in the kitchen, busy cooking lunch.

"Hey, Chan hyung?" Jisung called out.

"Oh, hey Sung. Back already?" Chan responded.

"I haven't even left yet, hyung," Jisung replied.

"Why?" Chan asked curiously. "Didn't I give you the key? Or maybe it was the wrong one?"

"No, no, the key was fine. But do you have another car I could borrow?" Jisung asked shyly. "Sorry, it's a silly question."

"Why? Is it the car that doesn't suit your taste?" Chan said curiously. "But yeah, I do have another car in the house."

"No, no, the car is perfectly fine. It's just... a bit too fancy," Jisung explained.

"Pfft, what?" Chan burst into laughter. "Oh gosh, Sung. I thought you didn't like the car or something. But it turns out to be this!" He continued laughing.
