Strangers tied

"Minho, are you going?" Seungmin had worryingly asked, it wasn't often that he worried or cared for Minho's well-being. Frankly, it was unheard of nowadays. ever since they landed in the bunker Seungmins has been working at a nearby cafe, and saving money to 'actually' get an education. plus he's been around Hyunjin a lot and he never makes time for the older himself. not that he cared either way. they weren't enemies, but they weren't best friends. just acquaintances with the bonding of Felix. nodded at his words.

"I need to. Staying in one place too long isn't for me. Watch over Felix for me?" Minho said holding in any rasp that tried escaping. It was better this way.

Changbin hated him, it was clear as day by the glares he has sent the older ones way.

He was toxic for Jisung, small subtle triggers eeacted with Jisungs anxiety a lot more than frequent.

Felix was to emotionally dependant on Minho, who was slowly falling appart with his own emotions.

Seungmin was slowly moving on like a normal human.

"He is going to hate you for leaving like this, you know that right?"

"I know..." Minho blankly stated. He had just finished writing a note, leaving it with Seungmin to give to Felix in the morning. He can't leave here whle Felix was awake. Listening to Felix cry would kill him. He himself was breaking apart and deep down he couldn't protect his baby brother anymore when he knew his mental stability wasn't okay. Leaving in the dead of night was the move.

No matter who it hurt. In time they will heal and maybe forgive Minho but right now, its was Minho felt was best. He had to leave his past behind because thats all that was truely holding him back.

"Where you gonna stay Hyung? Its dangerous without a plan." Jisung whined out, holding onto Minhos arm tightly. He was so desperate to keep his hyung around, especially after being told the stories behind the olders eyes.

"Jisung, I'll be fine. I didn't spend 3 years out on the streets to not be able to protect myself. It'll be easier now that Felix and Seungmin have a place. I need to find myself again and I can't do it here."

No one else argued with Minho, since theyre was nothing they could do. He was legally an adult, Felix and Seungmin were still minors. Chan was the only one who understood the older. Catching him crying in the kitchen in the middle of the night only made it more apparent. Chan promised to keep the boys until his return.

When ever that would be.

Minho left in the middle of the night. Jisung tried telling hin to stay gours prior, but he couldn't. Felix cried out trying go get him to stay that afternoon and but soon walked away calling Minho a coward.

There was no reason for him to stay here anymore.

Even if Jisung was teathering at his heart recently.

Not if Minho was only going to cause him harm. Walking down the streets, the lights being his guide for a small duration before he reached the small convenient store, where he would pick up some food and a bottle of water. The same male from a few nights ago was here again. Lounging around bored thats its 12:30 in the middle of the night.

"I'll get these please..." Minho spoke casually, forcing the stranger to let his eyes shift towards himself before standing straight with a smile on his face.

"Hey cat boy! Why you out late?" The young male said, with a grin. Minho could feel his eyebrow twitch at his words.

Cat boy... Why does he keep using this damn nickname?

"Lee Know... Not cat boy!"

"Okay Lee Know, not cat boy! Why are you out this late?"

Why did I even bother? This guy seriously...
