Minchan: Fighting The Storms With You

15

"Before that..... you help fix ....me and Minho."

I froze. I couldn't answer him. I just stared at him. The only thing my mind was screaming was 'Minho and Han' and there was this loud voice of sirens in the background.

"What?" Han said as I didn't answer him.

"How can I fix you two...he...he hardly talks to me!" I said stammering.

"I don't know...just do something. Or you want to decline...? I have a feeling that you want to decline...Bang Chan."

"Okay. I will help...why would I decline!! Ha ha ha." Trust me, that laugh was very awkward.

....

So the next day I kind of dragged Minho to the cafeteria. He was yelling at me, throwing hands, but nothing stopped me.

I dragged him to our usual table then, where Han along with the boys were seated.

When Minho saw in which direction I was taking him, he started to struggle more. But I looked at him and requested, "Please..." So he finally stopped.

He sat beside Felix and just stared down at his hands. I could tell that he was anxious...I mean who wouldn't be...these guys literally bullied him few days ago.

"I forgive you for saying those things to me..." Han started.

"I know that you just wanted me to leave you alone...you would never say such things...I know... The Minho who is my friend would never hurt anyone on purpose."

Han stood up and came near Minho. He held Minho's hand, tapping them lightly.

Minho kept staring down at his hand which were being held by Han now. Soon I saw tear drops falling on their hands. And Han quickly hugged Minho.

Minho didn't actually cry much...just a few tear drops and soon he calmed down.

"And we are sorry...for behaving badly with you... I don't think Han should leave us to be with you...you could just join us...what do you say?" Felix said after Minho looked quite calm.

Minho stared at him for few seconds, then nodded.

We all knew that Minho just agreed so that Han won't be alone. But I think it was a great start for us. The boys sincerely said sorry to him, including Hyunjin. Minho didn't really show any emotion.

Later on, I, Han or Jeongin would drag Minho to the cafeteria sometimes. He would just sit there and stare down, not engaging in any conversation. But I felt good just at his presence.

We didn't force too much. So most of his breaks would still be spent on the rooftop. I really missed the rooftop to be honest. I wanted to be with him. But I was busy investigating.
