"Her breath smells like onions." I say absent-mindedly, staring off into space as if to engulf this trauma.
"I am so sorry, Minho. That must've been so hard to go through."
"Wha' happened?" asks Haein.
"Minho realized it's time to come out of the closet."
"What?"
The only thought in my mind is how Jisung smells like strawberries with melted chocolate on top. And now I miss him. And I still have a long way to go till I can be in his arms again, given that the time is eleven.
"Dude, the bandaid is literally falling off." laughs Hyunjin, pointing at my face.
"Please, just shut up already."
"Yeah yeah. Your fault for going."
"I didn't have a choice, you stupid ass. She dragged me!" I complain, glaring at him. He should at least understand me.
"Just tell Changbin to fire her."
"You tell him, coward."
Hyewon tilts her head, her arm around her best friend's shoulder. "what is wrong with Youngie?"
"Youngie?!" the blonde snorts, slapping the table. "do you mean Miyoung?"
"Her, yeah!"
"God, don't even bring her up ever again." my head rests on the hard surface of the table.
"She gave us candies!"
"I suggest you don't eat them."
"Yeah, maybe they're onion flavoured." says the clown himself and I cackle.
"I don't get you guys.." Hae pouts, sitting on the ground and pulling the brunette down as well.
She doesn't give me much attention anymore, now that her favourite person is a girl her age, not a boy who could be her older brother.
So coming to work sucks. The only good thing about this is the money I receive at the end of the day.
Maybe I should just move over to my grandparents, with Jisung.
Sure. That's not 'bringing up a lady home', how they want it to be— but still.
"Man, I miss Jisung." I groan, fiddling with my fingers.
"Ah, right," Hyunjin remembers. "did you two, you know?"
"Fuck? no!"
"Not fuck, you horny dick! kiss."
"Well why didn't you just say kiss then?!"
All the kids in the room go silent, looking over at us, confused by the sudden raised voice. I really should work on my anger issues. And Hyunjin on his idiocy.
