"Considering nobody is screaming for help in there, I think I'll go make my apology." Minho grumbled eventually after what he considered too long in awkward silence.
"Hey Minho?" Hyunjin called after the older.
Minho raised his brow questioningly.
"For what it's worth... it's not your fault what happened with Wooyoung." The artist attempted to reassure.
Minho's brows furrowed and he clenched his jaw. "Of course it wasn't. That asshole cheated all on his own."
Hyunjin maintained his seated position, realizing that getting defensive was not going to help him in this situation. "I just know that you hated the fact that you didn't confront him... you should let yourself have closure with it." He stated softly.
Minho relaxed slightly and sighed. "No offense, but you really don't know anything. I'm gonna go apologize to my brother." He announced and started walking away before stopping. "By the way." He turned over his shoulder. "I'll drop what happened with you and Sung for his sake.. and I won't get between you and Lix. I'll be cordial." He stated blankly. "But if you EVER pull some shit like you did two weeks ago, or show any signs that you can't be trusted, I won't hold back for Felix's sake. That is one mistake I will certainly never make again."
The complete lack of emotion on the older's face caused a shiver to run through Hyunjin's body. He only nodded his head in understanding before Minho continued to the bathroom and knocked softly on the door, just as Jisung had done previously.
The door opened and revealed Jisung standing in front of him. The expression on his face dropped slightly as he raised a brow.
"I'm sorry, Jagi.." Minho reached his hand out. "I can't keep holding that against you. I'll try to push it out of my head... can you meet me halfway, though?" He pleaded.
Jisung let a small smile break out on his face. "What do you need from me?" He asked sweetly in acceptance of the terms, grabbing onto his boyfriend's hand.
"Can you just make sure you are dressed to the same extent you would if you were going out in public? I don't mean you have to cover up at all times, but you wouldn't go out anywhere dressed like this.." the older clarified with a slight pout.
Jisung's smile increased slightly and he kissed Minho sweetly. "I think that can be arranged. I'll go change now." He urged looking at his boyfriend with intention, signaling him to talk to his brother.
Minho pursed his lips and nodded, leaning down to kiss the younger one more time before letting him go and watching him disappear into the bedroom.
The dancer closed the door to the bathroom and took the spot that was previously occupied by Jisung.
Felix dropped his head on his brother's shoulder with a sigh. "I'm glad you guys are okay."
Minho chuckled lightly. "I know who I fell in love with, Lix. If I didn't want someone outspoken or couldn't handle it, I would definitely be pursuing the wrong person."
Felix giggled softly. "I guess you're right." He mused. "Hey, Min?" He asked more thoughtfully.
"Hm?" The older hummed.
"When did you know you loved Jisung?"
Minho smiled softly, making sure his brother wasn't gonna catch him being soft. "When did I know? Or when did I finally admit it to myself?"
Felix scoffed endearingly. "Both?" He questioned sweetly, almost hopefully, as if he was expecting the older to make him choose.
Minho chuckled. "I knew the year I left for college. As loud and obnoxious as he is.." He complained lightly, the tone filled with admiration. ".. that first year away was the loneliest I had felt since dad died. The loud laughing and lack of boundaries and back and forth arguing that was the bane of my existence since you met him.. became something I craved. I somehow couldn't sleep without it when I thought I would finally feel at peace." He laughed painfully.
