Humble Fame { Minsung }

Chapter Six : Enemy Territory

Song for this chapter: Fear for Nobody by Måneskin

The scent of luxury detergent and rose petals stung Jisung's nose. He was used to staying at fancy hotels when they went on tour, but even they didn't smell this nice. When he walked in, to his left there were many velvet couches that lined the walls, with paintings that hung above them. The walls were off white with gold flowers hugging each corner. Even the floors were fancy, with cold white and black checkered marble.

"Who buzzed you in Sir?" a man wearing a dress shirt and pants asked, startling him.

He must have been too interested in the decor of the lobby and didn't even notice the man coming up to him.

"Um, Lee Felix."

The man nodded and motioned over to the left corner of the lobby. There Jisung could see dark brown elevator doors. "Fourth floor, room 25." jisung nodded his head silently, bowed, and made his way over to the elevator.

Before he even fully walked up to the doors they began to open. Jisung stared into the open elevator with wide eyes. Staring back at him with matching widened eyes, was hyunjin.

Both boys continued to stare at each other with their shocked expressions. 'Hyunjin? What was he doing here? Was he hanging out with felix? Did he live there too?'

The elevator doors began to close and only then did Hyunjin realize that he was supposed to leave the elevator. He quickly sprang forward and put his hands in the way of the closing doors. As they opened back up, and he stepped out, Jisung took a step back in introvertedness.

"Jisu?" Hyunjin asked as he stood in front of the silent boy. Hyunjin must have also been as shocked as Jisung was to see the other, because his eyes still bulged out of his head.

When Jisung didn't respond, Hyunjin spoke again. "Are you here to see Felix? Or is there someone else you know here? You don't live here....right!?" he was talking fast and Jisung barley was wrapping his head around seeing someone he didn't think he was going to.

His glasses fogged up in panic and his hand came up to adjust them as his other hand clutched his bag.

"Minho." Jisung said quietly.

"Minho! Shit I completely forgot you were coming over to work on your project" Hyunjin said twice as loud as Jisung's voice had gone. He just nodded his head and panicky stepped forward to push the elevator button.

Hyunjin's eyebrows raised slightly in understanding, then quickly went back to confusion.

"But...but he's not here right now. Umm he actually is....umm out." he didn't know why the tall boy was speaking so hesitantly all of a sudden. The boy's hand reached behind his neck and scratched the skin there.

"At practice." Jiusng said, trying to fill in Hyungin's broken sentence. He was confused as to why Hyunjin looked like he was going to get hit if he said the wrong thing. Was he not supposed to know where Minho was? Was he not at dance practice

Hyunjin's hand dropped from the back of his head, "How did you know th-."

Ding.

The elevator door opening cut off hyunjin's question. "I got to go, bye." Jisung quickly waved at the confused boy and made his way into the elevator. He harshly pushed the illuminating 4 on the side panel as if it would make the doors close faster.

He felt bad for cutting Hyunjin off and leaving him mid conversation, but if he was to spend the next few hours with Minho then he would need all the social battery he could charge himself with.
