"You only ever get cheesecake, aren't you ever gonna try something else?" Minho teased, stealing a bite of Jisung's food.

"No, it's what I like." Jisung scoffed before chuckling at himself. "I guess I should change it up though."

Minho only shrugged, sipping his coffee.

"Minho?" Jaehyun called out from behind the counter.

"Hm?"

"I know you're off shift, but the ice machine is all messed up. I don't know how to fix it." Jaehyun asked hopefully.

"Yeah, I gotchu." Minho stood up, setting down his drink. "Be right back, k?"

Jisung nodded, going back to eating as Minho walked off to help Jaehyun in the back.

As he did, a woman walked into the store.

"Um, do you know where the staff is..?" She hesitantly asked Jisung.

"They're in the back, had to fix something.
He should be back in minute." Jisung explained.

The woman nodded, before speaking again. "This will sound random but, you're really cute. Just wondering if I could get your number, maybe?"

"Ah, thank you, but I have a boyfriend."

Jeongin snapped out of his thoughts as he heard a phone ring.

Call incoming... Kim Seungmin

Jeongin internally cursed himself, nervous of why Seungmin would be calling all of the sudden especially when he was out of town.

He hesitated before picking up, holding the phone to his ear as he waited for Seungmin to speak up.

"Jeongin~ I'm coming back today, let's hang out."

"Okay."

"That's it? Not gonna ask where or when?" Seungmin chuckled.

Jeongin answered with silence, as if waiting for him to just tell him.

"Whatever. You come to my dorm at 4, ok?"

"Mhm."

"Ok~ see you!"

Jeongin heard the phone hang up, left in a small panic. Was he gonna be touchy like that again? Would it be worse?

Jeongin sighed again, checking the time. He had 2 hours.

"Oh, sorry." The woman smiled awkwardly, looking forward as she saw Minho standing there, staring confused as ever at Jisung.

Jaehyun quickly went to the customer. "Hi, so sorry! What can I get you?"

Minho walked back to Jisung, leaning into his ear. "Why would you tell her that? She's pretty, you can't just be a pussy all the time."

"Cause I have a boyfriend." Jisung restated.

"No you don't." Minho crossed his arms, leaning back in his chair, looking unamused.

"Yes I do, Minho! I'm dating Eric." Jisung crossed his arms to, as if mocking him.

Minho froze, his eyebrow raised slightly before just shaking his head and grabbing his drink. "We'll talk about this later." He whispered, bringing the straw to his mouth.

"The fuck do you mean? There's nothing to talk about." Jisung spat, attitude in his tone.

"Don't speak to me like that." Minho glared up at him.

"Don't speak to me like a child!"

Minho sighed, looking away and going silent.

"What, now you're gonna give me the silent treatment? What's your issue all of the sudden, there's nothing to talk about!" Jisung suddenly raised his voice, standing up.

"Jisung, chill out—"

"No, you chill out." Jisung scoffed, practically storming out of the cafe, both Jaehyun and woman staring at the situation now.

Minho sighed again, grabbing his coffee again as he let Jisung walk out.

"Minho, are you—"

"Don't." He muttered in response, sipping his coffee with a bitter look on his face.

Hyunjin pulled up in Minho's driveway, Minho's dad sitting on the porch with a cigarette in hand. As Hyunjin went to text him, his father stood up with a sigh, went inside, and dragged Minho out.

Minho shrugged his father's hand off, moving to open the passenger door.

"Felix, you're back?"

"Mhm!" Felix smiled brightly, clearly happy to be hanging out with the rest again.

"Cool, glad y'all aren't fighting anymore. Now get in the back." Minho ordered.

"Lixie always sits there, you get in the back!" Hyunjin spoke up.

Minho rolled his eyes and looked back at Felix. "Please?" He said, practically throwing Felix into the back seat before he could respond. He sat down, shutting the door and staring forward.

"What the fuck is up with you, you always sit in the back with Jisungie?" Hyunjin questioned, pulling out of the driveway.

"He's not in here yet." Minho said, making a weak excuse.

"So? What, did y'all fight?" Hyunjin chuckled, as if he didn't believe it could happen himself.

"No."

"You're being vague, you did, didn't you? Wait no, I got it, you finally admitted your undying love and—"

"Can you fuck off? I'm not in love with him, we didn't fight, it's not your business." Minho snapped back, crossing his arms like an irritated foive year old.

"Fight it is." Hyunjin snickered, turning to the road.
