It Started In The Hallway - Minsung

Eighty-Three

"What happened?" Minho asks, skating over.

"I just sat down, I didn't want to stand up without someone to help me." Jisung says, trying not to bring any attention to him or having anyone apologize.

"But, you-" Seungmin starts off, but gets cut off by Jisung.

"It's okay, really!" Jisung says to Seungmin with a smile.

"Okay." Seungmin says, watching Jisung.

Minho looks at them both, and he can tell something happened, but he's not sure what it was.

"Let's talk later." Seungmin says before he skates off back to Hyunjin who was helping Felix.

Now Minho definitely knew there was something different.

"Did something happen?" Minho asks, not knowing anything.

"Uh, nooo." Jisung says. He feels like he's being overdramatic. They aren't even dating or anything, and he was literally just helping Felix.

But he got left. And then hurt because he got left.

"Okay then." Minho says, knowing something's up, but not knowing what it was.

They all enjoyed skating the rest of the time. It took up a few hours, but they took breaks because it was so fun. They all got along and it was a fun time.

At about 6 PM, the boys went inside again to warm up, but they were staying inside this time.

"We should bake stuff!" Jeongin suggests.

"Ooo, I love baking!" Hyunjin says.

So, that's what they did. They baked a bunch of treats and had even more fun.

Seungmin made sure to keep an eye on Jisung the rest of the day. He wanted Jisung to have fun too, but he could tell he was upset about something.

Everyone was going back to their rooms after hanging out in the living room and eating a bunch. Minho and Jisung went to theirs.

They both got changed. Jisung got changed in the bathroom, which was different.

"Hey, I'm not feeling well, I just want to let you know that I will probably sleep on the couch tonight." Jisung says.

It's not because he doesn't feel well, obviously. But it's also not because he's a little upset with Minho. He just doesn't really wanna talk.

Minho stays silent for a moment before he asks, "Is something upsetting you?"

Jisung also takes a moment before saying, "no, I just kinda want to be alone." Which is true, but not the full truth.

"Are you sure?" Minho says, walking up to Jisung and putting his hand on Jisung's cheek.

Jisung slowly takes Minho's hand off of his cheek and nods. He then starts to walk away, but Minho grabs his hand and turns him around.

Minho leans in and places a long, loving kiss on Jisung's lips before pulling away.

"I don't know what's wrong, or if there really is nothing wrong, and if there is something that's bothering you I won't make you tell me. I just want you to not be upset." Minho says, pulling Jisung's head into his shoulder for a hug.

Jisung just stands there, before he finally puts his arms around Minho's waist only a little bit.

Minho releases Jisung, watching him walk out the door.

Jisung wasn't going to admit it, but that made him like Minho even more.

Jisung walks over to Hyunjin and Seungmin's room, knocking twice before walking in. Both of the boys were in their room.

"Hi." Seungmin said.

"Hi." Jisung replies.

"Hey Jisung, why are you in here?" Hyunjin asks, not knowing anything.

"I told him we need to talk." Seungmin says to Hyunjin. "I just feel like something's upsetting you since earlier." He says to Jisung.

Jisung waits for a moment before saying, "there has been something bothering me, if I'm gonna be honest. But it makes me feel like a bad person."

"What's going on?" Hyunjin asks Jisung. Seungmin listens closely as well.

Jisung sits down on the bed, crossing his legs.

"So, earlier Felix fell on ice, right? Well Minho kinda just left me there on my own to go help him. After that, I had no one to hold onto and I fell, and no one noticed but Seungmin, which I'm glad about. I didn't want it to seem like I was doing it on purpose or anything." Jisung says before going on.

"I am NOT blaming any of them, they probably didn't mean to. It just, upset me. He left me there for one of my best friends, and then I got hurt because of it. I'm sorry if I sound overdramatic, I don't mean to be..." Jisung says, his eyes filling with water. "I don't know why I am so upset..."

"It's okay, Jisung. You aren't being overdramatic. I understand." Seungmin says, leaning in and hugging Jisung. Hyunjin joins them.

"I just feel like I don't have a reason to be upset, so why am I?" Jisung says, wiping his eyes.

"You have every right to be upset, I would be too." Seungmin says.

"I didn't know you felt like that. All day?" Hyunjin asks.

Jisung nods.

"Well, I think communication is key, but I guess if that's not what you really want to do, you do what you want. It would be kind of hard to talk to someone who doesn't know what they did wrong, I know. But I guess we did say that none of them did any wrong, so that's not the case. It might be even harder trying to tell him how you feel in this situation, but I'm sure if you told him, he would understand and apologize." Seungmin says.

Hyunjin nods in agreement.

"Okay, I got it. I'm not going to tonight, though. I told him I wasn't really feeling well so I could sleep on the couch. It's not because of him, I just kinda wanna be alone, if that makes any sense." Jisung says.

"No, it makes sense. It's alright and all of us WANT alone time sometimes. It's just when someone leaves us when we don't want to be alone that it hurts. There is a difference between needing time alone, and being left alone by someone." Hyunjin says, validating Jisung's feelings and holding his hand.

Jisung's eyes start watering again.

"Thank you guys, I love you." He says, hugging them.

They hug him back, and Jisung stands up.

"You can sleep in here if you want!" Hyunjin offers. Seungmin doesn't mind either.

"Hmmm... I would, but I don't want to worry Minho if he doesn't see me on the couch." Jisung says.

"Oh, okay. But remember, once you guys talk about it, everything will be okay." Hyunjin says.

Jisung nods and walks out the door, shutting it behind him. It was a very much needed conversation.
