Seungmin has had eyes for someone know and its been 4 years... the only people...
"Seungmin, what are you making for Minho Hyung this time?" Felix and Jeongin were at Seungmin's apartment, helping Seungmin bake something for Minho.
"I want to bake him brownies this time."
(In this story, Seungmin is a better baker than Felix.)
"Oh, you make the best brownies ever, Minnie. Don't forget to save us some." They all love Seungmin's baked goods, and of course Seungmin makes extra for them.
"Of course, Lixie will make a lot of extra for the group, as well as for Minho Hyung, so he won't suspect anything."
Felix and Jeongin were making Minho's special wrapper, while Seungmin was baking and making the sweets for them.
"How many times have you given Minho goodies for Valentine?"
"This year is the 3rd time," Seungmin was smiling at the thought of his hyung eating his sweets.
"Wow, you've liked Minho Hyung for 3 years now?"
Yes, it was true. It has been 3 years since Seungmin started liking Minho, and they weren't going to lie and say that Minho was kind of dumb for not noticing how Seungmin feels for him.
"Minnie, is this good?" Felix held up the basket for Seungmin to see that they had finally figured out how to install the balloon.
(IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE THIS BUT INSTEAD OF MARSHMALLOW THEY'RE BROWNIES AND THERE WAS A LETTER STUCK IN FRONT and THE BASKET IS SQUARE NOT THAT SAME AS IN THE PICTURE)

"It's perfect, Lixie. Thank you so much for the help. If it wasn't for you and Jeongin, I wouldn't have figured that out by myself." They all giggled at what Seungmin said because it literally made no sense because
"Aren't you the smartest one here? That's impossible for you to not figure this one out."
"You don't know what love can do to you."
"When will you confess to Minho Hyung, Hyung?" Jeongin asked as he approached Seungmin and side hugged him. This type of thing was normal among them, so I wasn't really bothered by Seungmin.
"Actually, I don't really know if I can confess to Minho Hyung guys." Seungmin stopped what he was doing and looked at two
"What do you mean?"
"What if it ruins our friendship?" Seungmin was worried that if he gets rejected, it will be awkward around them. He was worried that if it really happens, it might be his fault if their circle of friends comes crashing down.
"I'm sure that Minho Hyung will like you too. Like, what isn't there to like about you, Minnie? You're literally the definition of perfect." The two were telling the truth. Seungmin couldn't just see that he was beautiful. You wouldn't expect that such a beautiful person would be insecure about themselves.
"I just can't lix," Seungmin said, taking the baked goods from the oven and placing them on the cooling rack.
"Oh, Minnie, can I have a bite?" Jeongin was about to grab one when Seungmin slapped his hand.
"You'll burn your hand, Innie! And plus, these are not yours; these are for Minho Hyung. You know, I can't give Minho Hyung anything that tastes like the usual goods I give you guys; he might suspect something."
Jeongin was touched that Seungmin was concerned about him, but he was jokingly upset that Seungmin didn't give him some of his special brownies (not like that).
"But I wanted one." Jeongin whined with a pout to make Seungmin feel guilty. He was a professional guilt tripper when it came to this type of thing.
"Fine, you can have one once they have cooled down," Seungmin emphasized, making sure that Jeongin doesn't burn himself.
"Thank you so much, Minnieee. Finally, I can taste Minho Hyung's brownie." Can you believe it that Seungmin has a different recipe for brownie just for Minho himself? That's how determined Seungmin was to not make Minho notice him, but without him even trying, Minho wasn't going to notice it either way; he was too numb.

"Jeongin, come, the brownies are cooled down." Of course, Seungmin kept his words and did save Jeongin one.
Thuds were heard from the stairs, and Seungmin laughed at how Jeongin reacted.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Jeongin grabbed the small plate from Seungmin's hand and gave it a bite.
Seungmin was waiting for Jeongin to react, and he was a bit nervous, thinking that Jeongin wouldn't like it because he was just staring while chewing.
"Hyung, these are so... GOOD HYUNG, WHAT DO YOU PUT IN THESE? ITS UNFAIR THAT YOU ONLY GIVE THESE TO MINHO HYUNG ALL THIS YEAR." Jeongin couldn't help but feel jealous of Minho that he was the only one that could taste his brownies.
"How about the next time I make minho hyung brownies? I'll make you some as well, only you."
"Thank you so much, Hyung." Jeongin hugged Seungmin once again. Seungmin really feels like he matters whenever he is with them.
"I'll give Felix Hyung some hold on." Jeongin didn't even let Seungmin speak and ran straight to Felix.
"Jeongi- oh, sure...?" Seungmin giggled at Jeongin, and while waiting for Felix's feedback, Seungmin started to clean up some of the mess in his kitchen.
"MINNIEE!!" Seungmin stopped doing the dishes when he heard running and yelling coming from the other room.
"Woo there guys, slow down guys, haha." Before Seungmin knew it, Felix and Jeongin were already in front of him.
"WHY DO YOU ONLY MAKE THIS FOR MINHO HYUNG?!" Felix shouted at Seungmin, and Seungmin couldn't help but laugh at their reaction.
"Lixie, of course I have to keep my profile low, so I make you guys different brownies, but are you saying the ones I make you guys aren't good?"
"No! We didn't mean it like that; it's just that the ones you make, Minho Hyung, are so much better."
"I'm glad you like them, but if I keep making them, then the others will know. I don't want them to know about my feelings for Minho Hyung."
"Even if they did know Minnie, they won't tell Minho if you don't want to; they will respect your decision; they love you very much; of course, they would never do such a thing," Jeongin comforted Seungmin, knowing that he was just worried about his feelings spreading like wildfire.
"Thank you guys, but you know what I think? I'll give Minho Hyung the gift myself. I feel confident."
They were glad to hear it, but they were wondering how Seungmin would do it.
"That's great, I'm happy for you, Min! But... how will you do it without telling or exposing your feelings towards him?" Felix asked, still munching on the brownies Seungmin baked.
"I will simply tell Minho Hyung that someone just asked me to give it to him because they were too shy to do it themselves."
"Hmm, with how dumb Minho Hyung is? I think that's a full-proof plan, Min." They weren't lying because Minho has been nothing but numb for not noticing how Seungmin felt. The last 2 years he was giving Minho signs, and when he noticed that Minho didn't even notice, Seungmin stopped trying to make Minho notice his feelings without telling him himself, but still admires him from afar.
"We should pack up, guys. We have to go to school early tomorrow."
The two agreed, and they finished up in the kitchen and the gift basket. They also packed the other sweets for the group.
