Blurred Line | Lee Minho ff

Chapter 3 - New Friends

"Same old you, carbonara lover, ey? " Minho chuckled.

"What can I say, I'm old fashioned, " I retorted sarcastically, before chuckling along with him.

"Oh yeah, Ji? " Minho called my nickname.

I hummed in response, my ears were perked up. I was obviously curious of what he wanted to tell me.

"You do remember me being in stray kids back in 2018 right? " Minho asked me.

I nodded subtly. I remember how I used to listen to their every comeback when they were a group under JYP entertainment. They were so popular internationally. Yet, I never actually got the permission to go to their concerts and even if I did, my mom would ask me to pay for the tickets myself. Considering that I used to work at McDonalds, my salary was just enough for my necessities.

"I'm still friends with the members despite our departure. So, I want you to meet them, " he smiled at me.

I stopped eating. My mouth practically dropped to he floor. Meeting the stray kids? In real life? Is this a dream? (I'm so fuxking delulu help)

"Is that even a question? " I remarked with a huge grin on my face - I grinned from ear to ear.

"Sweet! We will meet them by next Monday! They'll come here so no pressure, " he explained.

Gosh, was this a dream? To meet ex kpop idols?

It took me a while to recover from the food coma I had. Once I did, I washed the utensils gingerly.

"Ji, you don't have to do the dishes! You're a guest, " Minho blurted out with a slight frown on his face.

"I'm doing this out of my own will, " I replied in English.

"Still?? " He retorted in Korean.

"Minho... Speak English, " I challenged him with a smirk on my face.

I knew he wasn't really fond of the English language and he would always get frustrated whenever he spoke English due to his inability to speak such language but I used to find it cute - but that was when we were kids.

"No, " he spoke in English, rolling his eyes in annoyance, making me chuckle.

"Okay okay I won't torture you, " I replied back in Korean.

He just huffed, looking in another direction. Oh, when I said that he never changed, he never did. He was still as cute as last time. Wait, what am I thinking? We are adults. Are friends able find each other cute?

I decided to not dwell on  the topic further. I'm scared that I might fall for my best friend. Is there such things as Friends to Lovers? Even if so, will it ever work out?

I took a stroll around his house. I mean, he never redecorated it - he was never a fan of redecoration - but it felt nostalgic. It can't go wrong to search through his house - not search through, maybe, scanned through?

There were tiny pictures of his friends, - stray kids - his parents, his relatives. And there was a small picture of me and him on display which made my heart flutter slightly.

But, a picute in the corner of my eye caught my attention. It was a girl, and unfamiliar looking girl, with Minho. He looked like he was around... 15? Realisation dawned upon me that that might be his friend while I was gone. Why did I feel jealous? It isn't wrong for him to have other best friends, right?

I decided to not dwell on this topic either. All I needed was a distraction... I thought long and hard (you know what else is hard?haha) before coming to the conclusion that I need Ice Cream! Specifically, salted caramel with chocolate drizzle in a cone. Oh, I needed to order this right at this instant!

Omg hi short chapter again but I'm so fucking busy I'm so sorry but I hope you enjoyed
