Clueless Boy - Minsung

Chapter 24

After a thunderous weekend on the emotional side, Jisung started his week with a newfounded motivation.

Minho's words strucked to him. He decided to keep in mind that as long as a few people got him, then he shouldn't be too offended when the rest of the world didn't.

Minho got his back, and that's what mattered.

Arriving in class, he was early.

He sat by himself, wanting to open his book and read for a few minutes.

But got interrupted as someone sit right next to him.

"Hey..." Hyunjin said, softly.

Jisung looked at him surprised, and a bit worried to.

He didn't answer, he supposed that anything he'd say could be wrongly worded.

"I wanted to apologize to you" Hyunjin said "It's my turn, this time" He added, scratching the back of his head embarassingly.

Jisung tilted his head to the side, listening.

"Yeah- Um... I should have been more understanding ... I tend to let my anger get the best of me and it's not really healthy ... You apologized and I should have stopped there so yeah ... I'm sorry for my words that other day ... It wasn't appropriate" Hyunjin rambled, embarassed and guilty.

Jisung nodded, understanding.

"I- ... My dad was an asshole ... When I came out to him he threw me out of the house ... Yeah... So since then I tend to be realllyyyy defensive when it comes to my sexuality ..." Hyunjin tried to explain, awkwardly "It shouldn't be an excuse though ... And it isn't. I categorized you as someone I wanted to hate on but that's stupid... Yeah... I'm sorry"

"I'm sorry too" Jisung said, actually moved by Hyunjin's explanation.

"Wanna start over ?" Hyunjin said, with a little smile.

"I'd like to" Jisung nodded eagerly, smiling back.

After a few minutes, the others arrived, the three of them completely surprised to see Hyunjin sitting right next to Jisung, and even more surprised when they seemed to be chatting pretty naturally.

Things seemed to get better.

"Hyun told me he was going to apologize today" Changbin said, elbowing Minho.

"Finally" Minho scoffed

"You did great defending Jisung like you did, though" Chan added.

"I tried" Minho shrugged.

Chan watched him, noticing the gloomy mood he was in.

"Let's have a talk after class, mmh?" Chan offered, whispering to the boy.

And Minho nodded discreetly.

"So ? What's wrong with you ?" Chan asked, sitting on the bench on the way to the dorms.

"Nothing much" Minho shrugged, sitting right next to him.

"What about your crush on the straight guy ?" Chan asked, noticing the frown that enhanced Minho's expression.

Minho let his head fall back, whining.

"It's so fucking frustrating" He whined more, tired of it.

"Why ?"

"Because Jisung really does make me all weird" Minho muttered annoyedly "Thought it'd be a silly crush that'll go away rather quickly ... But fuck no ... Anything Jisung does makes me fucking flustered and I can't stand the fact I can't do shit about it"
