since our eyes first met - Minsung

챕터jealous?

This is going to be a short chapter, still in Jisungs POV

I was sitting on the couch in the living room, chilling on my phone in my favorite black hoodie and my red-checked jogging pants. I only ever wore these pants in December. They give off such strong Christmas vibes that it would be a crime to wear them any other time.

The others were either out shopping for Christmas presents or in their rooms.

I was checking some new K-pop news (I'm not sure if that's the exact term, but you know what I mean) and also looking for some new K-drama recommendations I could watch with Felix and Jeongin soon. You know, because we're all into dramas—unlike the others who don't really like watching romantic dramas but prefer action or regular shows, just not love stories!

As I scrolled back through TikTok, I saw Minho heading toward the front door.

Where was he going?

I got up and followed him. »Where are you heading, Minho?« I asked, leaning against the wall in the hallway, watching him grab his coat and scarf.

He opened the drawer of a small dresser where all our wallets were kept, as he answered, »Oh, I guess I forgot to tell you. I'm meeting Jieun at the mall.«

I felt a pang of some feeling I couldn't name. The moment of them two handing each other their phones flashed in my mind again. So they really exchanged numbers.
It was okay for me, but why did I feel so weird about it? Could it be jealousy? No... I mean, Minho and I had been doing more things together recently, and with the other members too. He probably just wants to spend some time with other friends as well.

It's not a big deal, so why am I acting so weird about it? »Oh, yeah, then have fun,« I said as he grabbed a hat and put it on his head. Now, only his eyes were visible, the rest of his face covered by the scarf and the hat, but I could still guess he was smiling at me.

»Thank you. See you!« He disappeared through the front door.

I stood there for a moment, still processing everything. It was such a small thing, yet it felt like something bigger. I shook my head, trying to dismiss the odd feeling. I knew it was silly to overthink it, but it was hard to shake off. Why did it feel like I was being left out, even though I had no reason to feel that way?

I tried to distract myself by going back to my phone, but my thoughts kept circling back to Minho. He'd gone out to meet Jieun. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but... it just felt different now.

Was I overthinking this? Probably. But the feeling lingered, gnawing at the back of my mind. Maybe I was just used to spending so much time with Minho that it felt strange to think of him hanging out with someone else, even if it was just a friend.

I shook my head, trying to focus on the drama recommendations I had been browsing earlier. I needed to relax. It was nothing. Just a little moment of overreaction.

But still...

I couldn't help but wonder.

I think it might be the shortes chapter I ever wrote😅 sorry for that.
