For the fourth time that day Jisung found himself subconsciously searching for Minho.

But of course Minho wasn't there.
Jisung was avoiding him.

His brain kept forgetting it, used as it was to his constant presence.

Felix looked at him with an amused stare and shook his head:

"Go on, spill it. What did you two argue about?"

"We didn't-"

"Was it about who won your last battle to the death?" commented Changbin from his side, a slight smile tinting his lips.

Felix gasped:
"Does he think you cheated or something???"

"No...that's not it..." Jisung said weakly.

"Is he pissed that you're reaching his level faster than expected?" Changbin continued:

"It's in his nature to be protective of his title, you know?"

"I know!" whined Jisung.

The fact that they were both so far off was only making him feel worse.

"Wait" Felix's tone had changed:

"Is it about...?"

Their eyes met and his inquisive stare made Jisung blush furiously.

Felix suddenly understood.

He sat back in his chair.

"Oh." he only said.

Jisung covered his face with his hands, melting into an embarassed puddle.

"What?" asked a confused Changbin.

"Uhm..."

They had backed themselves into a very uncomfortable corner.

Felix and Jisung looked at eachother for a long second.

"I have a crush on Minho" Jisung then admitted:

"And he discovered it in a very...awkward way"

Changbin didn't seem surprised at all which made Jisung feel even more humiliated:

"Ah, yeah. I had a feeling something like this would happen. Did he reject you?"

Jisung shrugged:

"I don't know... I think so..."

Felix crossed his arms in front of his chest:
"If he did then he's blind and an idiot. A blind fucking idiot."

Changbin snorted, fond.
A slight pink dusted Felix's cheeks.

Jisung wanted to kill himself.

"What the hell do I do now?" he mumbled.

"Well you'll have to face him eventually..." Changbin said matter of factly but not without kindness:

"Personally, I think you should rip off the bandaid. Waiting would only build up anxiety and make you want to never talk to him again, which isn't useful to anyone"

Jisung grimaced.
He already kind of didn't want to see Minho ever again.
But a part of him knew that was straight up impossible.
Minho still was the only one who could deal with his power after all...

"I don't like it" he said:
"But I think you're right"

"Of course I am" answered Changbin which gained him a side eye.

Felix smiled kindly:
"Ahh I'm sorry, Ji... Min can be an asshole when it comes to feelings... Void of all tact, scratchy and abrasive like a wild cat."

"That sounds about right" laughed Changbin.

"We're here for you, allright?" continued Felix, grabbing Jisung's hand and holding it tight:

"Whatever happens, come find us and we'll try to react accordingly, mh?"

Jisung smiled as a lonely tear fell on his cheek:

"Thank you"

He had never had friends like them.
