Jisung sighed and leaned against a chair as he watched the playback of the scene he'd just recorded, losing complete focus the second he felt a hand on his back, a voice right in his ear. One he could point out from a mile away, "Hannie, you look so cool."

The producer froze, not sure what to think. Did Minho completely forget about the fact that there were cameras recording for their eventual Making Film video? Was he aware of the fact that people were around? Did he just not care? With everything running rampant, Jisung was unable to come up with something to do or say. Minho spoke up again, "woah, do you just keep getting cooler? You're catching up to me."

"Oh," Jisung was surprised when the word slipped past his lips, not having intended on speaking. He was too busy trying to get every part of his mind to focus on anything but the way Minho's arm snaked around him. He was trying to focus on anything but the way his heart was burning at Minho's simple touch. Trying to focus on anything but the way he felt cold at the loss of the said touch once he backed away from the other the second the recording concluded.

Minho followed behind Jisung, taking a few long steps to catch up to him before hugging him from behind, stopping the younger in his tracks for a moment. Minho took a breath to speak but he stopped himself as Jisung pushed his hands away and turned to face him. Minho forgot what it was he was going to say due to the look on Jisung's face. A look Minho had never seen on him before. He stood there confused as the producer stared back at him. And for the first time, Jisung was able to read Minho, but Minho was completely unable to read Jisung.

The look of concern overpowered the confusion and Jisung turned again, walking off to a nearby bathroom to lock himself inside while Minho stood stunned for a while, Chan being the one to get him out of it, needing the younger one to film his part. Minho followed behind the leader, glancing back in the direction of where Jisung had walked off to.

Minho asked to refilm the first couple takes he did simply because he was stuck in his head. And after he saw Felix leave in the same direction Jisung had left, he wasn't sure he'd be able to film anything else properly, so he was surprised when he finished.

"Ji? Are you in here?" Felix asked as he knocked on the bathroom door. It was a dumb question since Seungmin had just exited when Jisung hurried inside while looking like he was about to cry. And after knocking and trying to see if the older was okay and recieving no response, he left to grab Felix, noticing Minho in his own trance on his way to grab the foreigner. Jeongin, who was standing beside the blonde at the time, decided to tag along as well.

"...No?" Felix nearly laughed at the response and would've if he hadn't been so worried, "come on, Ji, let me in?"

After a moment, the door opened and the duo entered the bathroom, Jeongin closing the door behind himself to lock them in, "hey Lix, hey Innie."

"What's going on?" The youngest asked.

"Minho he... he placed his hand on back and then he...he kind of held me by my waist and then he... he gave me a back hug and I just..." Jisung shook his head to finish out his statement.

"Wait but why is that upsetting you exactly?" Jeongin asked, "that sounds like you should be...giggling and kicking your feet or something."

Jisung smiled gently, "I feel like... I don't think he likes me, guys. I know you may think that he does or something, but, I truly don't think that he does. I don't think he ever will. And that's why this is upsetting. I'm his bandmate, why would he ever even like me?"

"You do realize who you're talking to, right?" Felix smiled, "One of us, in fact, dating his bandmate?"

Jeongin nodded before adding, "and Minho is more likely to fall for a bandmate. Rephrase, you're his type and so it'd make sense that he'd fall for you."
