Don't touch me // Minsung

7. 𝘈𝘯 𝘶𝘯𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨

Unfortunately for Jisung, Monday came. He had not done much the whole week-end, apart from spending time with Chan and binge-watching shows in his living-room. And as soon as he met his friends on campus, he told them Chan had visited him, which instantly annoyed Changbin.

"Why didn't he send me any messages? like I was right there...", he kept repeating.

"Cuz' you saw him all summer, that's why", Felix answered.

"Still...", Changbin complained. He had always been extremely close to Chan, and they still talked together every day. But he had not seen him since the summer and well, he missed him. If he had known, he would have spent some time with him too this week-end...

"What did you do?", Seungmin asked Jisung, ignoring Changbin's whining.

"We talked a lot, we walked around town and we ate in a barbecue place.", Jisung simply answered. He had spent his whole Sunday trying to forget about his incident with Minho, and he did not want to think about it again. But unfortunately, Seungmin was interested now.

"Oh, that's nice. Was it good? I need to find a good place, the one where I used to go closed last month...", he said as he took out his phone's notes app, his fingers ready to type down the name of the restaurant.

"You won't like this place.", Jisung replied, trying to stop Seungmin's curiosity. But it just intensified ten times.

"Why is that? You think you know me?", his friend said, deadpan.

Jisung wanted to shut his mouth so much that morning... He just could not resist being right and dropped the craziest information his friends had heard that day.

"Well, Minho works there so..."

"What?", they all stopped walking in unison, unwillingly jamming the crowded hallway.

"No way... You followed him there to eat with Chan?!", Seungmin exclaimed. His friend had completely gone off the rails. He was basically obsessed with Minho, this could not keep going. How could he make him understand the older was treating him the worst?

"Yeah, at this point you're stalking him Jisung. You have a crush on him or what?", Hyunjin teased him at the same time. And of course, Jisung became defensive.

"No! Chan chose the place, we didn't know he was working there! Chan liked the restaurant because it was next to the sea and it was dark inside!"

"He saw you?", Felix asked, voicing out what everyone wanted to know desperately.

"Yeah...", Jisung sighed heavily, leaving the group stunned. He had to tell them everything now, how he followed him outside, what they talked about, how he disturbed his break-time... everything he had tried to forget came right back hitting him in the face. All those unpleasant memories...

"Omg that's bad...", Felix muttered. "Well, you know where he works now if you ever need to find him."

Jisung shook his head, why would he need to find him for? He could find him at school or try and search the dorms if he ever needed it, but he did not need to know Minho's workplace's address. There was nothing positive about knowing that...

The friends kept talking loudly in the hallway and nobody paid too much attention to their conversation, well nobody except one of the bullies. Hidden from their sight, he just walked behind them and listened, a grin slowly appearing on his face.

And at lunch, they still ate with Minho even if they wanted to avoid him even more now. But no one had the heart to tell him to go away, not even Seungmin. Jisung was uncomfortable around the older, he felt like he knew too much about Minho, that he was bothering him, that he had gone too far at the restaurant this week-end.
