Chapter 9: Confrontation

Jisung was unusually quiet. It was far from just plain old cold shoulders or ignoring each other, he was quiet even with the other members. He didn't do anything at all but practice and Hyunjin was the first to have noticed that. It wasn't as if Hyunjin was concerned or anything, it's just really unnerving for him to see him silent even though Hyunjin often gets on his nerves throughout the day.

They were practicing for a performance, there was already a tense atmosphere as all the pressure and stress were felt by all the members. It only doubled when Jisung messed up a few steps there and then. Usually, Minho is the first to guide him and talk to him but this time, Hyunjin chose to step up and point out his mistakes.

Everyone held their breath, eyeing the two of them as they waited for the moment for Jisung to snap so imagine their surprise when Jisung only clenched his jaw and gave a deadly glare to Hyunjin before they continued to another choreography. This went on with Jisung completely being silent and he hates to say it, it only got to him more.

As always, Chan was the first person who went towards Jisung as soon as the choreographer called it a day. He was saying something that Hyunjin couldn't catch but he watched as Chan took a deep breath and pulled Jisung into a small hug before nodding and leaving them both alone. He hadn't even noticed the others filing out of the room until Jisung could only make eye contact with him.

"What's with you?" Hyunjin broke the silence, "It's unlike you to be this silent. This whole thing is unlike you." Jisung rolled his eyes, choosing to pack his bag up. This didn't go all too well with Hyunjin, he grabbed Jisung by his wrist.

Before he could speak, Jisung pulled his wrist away from him. "I'm not in the mood for your silly games, Hwang. Will you quit it?" He glared at Hyunjin harshly, pushing past him but Hyunjin didn't let it get to him and quickly caught Jisung's shirt.

"What the-"

"What's with you?"

Jisung clicked his tongue, putting his hand over Hyunjin to try and escape his grip but Hyunjin tightly clutched his shirt more. "Why the fuck do you even care!?" He finally hissed out, "What? Suddenly you're being the good guy after you treated me like I'm the most horrible person in the world? Stop with the good guy get up, Hwang. It doesn't suit you."

Hyunjin sighed, "I know I have been nothing but mean... I'm just asking because... Like I said, this is unlike-"

"And who are you to tell me that this is unlike me, Hyunjin?" Jisung interrupted, his eyebrows furrowing. "You don't fucking know me anymore. You don't know me at all. So, stop. Stop with the fucking 'This is unlike you' because how can you even know me!" He yelled, his eyes beginning to water.

"I know you even if it's in the past. I remember how you acted before and there isn't much difference with how you're-"

"With how I'm acting now? Did we say we hated each other back then? Did we yell and punch each other? Hell, you became the person I hated so don't fucking tell me anything about our past! You don't deserve to spill any of that or even utter those words! We don't know each other. I don't know you anymore, Hwang and that goes the same way with how you don't know me anymore." Jisung tried to walk away again but Hyunjin pulled him and pushed him to the wall, trapping him between his arms. "What the fuck is wrong with you?!" Jisung tried to push him away but Hyunjin didn't move an inch.

"Okay, fine." Hyunjin struggled to get his words out. "You changed. We changed. There is no fucking denying that. We all know that everyone knows that. Yet, you know... Habits never change, Jisung. You're doing... those again! It's making me worry and I don't care if we hate each other but we are in a team and you are a member of that team. I am allowed to be worried about a certain someone despite that they are acting like a douchebag."
