Treasured | Minho [TMR]

Sixteen

•• ━━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━━ ••

This morning goes like any other. I wake up in the morning, leave my cabin to go eat breakfast and be ignored by Minho again. The only difference is that in his place, the new Greenie sits with us each morning. I don't know how much he enjoys it though, cause the others mostly just tease him the whole time. The kid's a good sport though.

"Greenie, you're with me today." Alby says from behind the Greenie and I, which startles me. The kid looks back to tell Alby he's on his way, then says goodbye to all of us before he leaves.

"Back to normal, then." Jeff shrugs, getting up from the table. Ben and I both follow his lead and get up too.

"Yeah, I should head on." Ben says as he stretches out his legs. "Minho will-

Ben stops midway through his sentence, glancing over at me. I just raise my eyebrows as if to tell him to continue. I don't know why he thinks he can't talk about Minho in front of me. We are in an awkward situation, but that doesn't mean I have to avoid hearing about him from everyone.

"You-you can mention Minho, you know...." I tell Ben, who just nods and scratches the back of his neck awkwardly.

"Yeah, I-I know." Ben nods, starting to back away. "Any-anyways, I should go." He says while he keeps backing up. Then with a quick wave, he's off. I watch as he makes his way to the maze to greet Nick and Minho. I feel my face heat up when my eyes land on Minho and I tear my eyes away.

"I suppose Clint will be waiting on us." I say as I turn to Jeff. He just nods in agreement and we walk together towards the Med Bay. Immediately I notice the place has changed a bit. "Woah, what happened here?"

"This is what happens when you leave Clint on his own, with no one to fix up." Jeff sighs. Luckily Clint isn't even here right now, so Jeff can get away with his comment.

"Redecorating?" I giggle. But Jeff doesn't see the humour in it, offering only a serious glare in response. "Not funny, sorry." I nod, but can't help cracking a smile at the thought of it.

"It really ain't funny, Mira." Jeff sighs, but seemingly can't help the small laugh that escapes him. "Before you came along, it was only Clint and I in here. Imagine how many times I've come back not knowing where everything was..."

"Oh, sounds terrible." I roll my eyes playfully and Jeff just shoves me gently in response.

"You're such an insensitive person..." Jeff shakes his head. "Remind me again why we let you work here?"

"Less chance of Clint redecorating." I shrug, earning a light chuckle from Jeff in return. "Should we start re-redecorating?" I suggest, looking around to see that things were indeed not in their regular place.

"Please." Jeff says, looking to immediately start reorganising everything so it'll be back to how it originally was. I start to look around for misplaced items and Jeff starts to tidy away. We hadn't been long silent and cleaning when Jeff spoke up again. "You know we're having a bonfire night today...."

"A what?" I stop what I'm doing and turn to Jeff, confused.

"Bonfire night." He repeats. I shake my head as if to tell him I don't know what he's talking about. "It's just a night where we let loose, have a bit of fun."

"Oh..." I nod, going back to reorganising the press I just opened. "Sounds....exciting?"

"Trust me, you'll love it." Jeff assures me as he carries a basket of medical equipment to the other side of the room. "And you know you'd love it even more if you and Loverboy weren't still fighting."
