I'm not a baby! | Minsung

🍁chapter 18

...

Both boys were sitting on Minho's bed, since his mom forced him to study with Jisung, he had no choice but to just obey, he hated it, just thinking about an hour of listening to Jisung's nonstop talking, annoyed him. Jisung kept talking and pointing at something at the book, which Minho didn't even know what it said but then looked the younger looked up at Minho who just looked at him with a lost gaze and then at the book.

-"Are you even paying attention"- Jisung asked, which Minho just nodded but then Jisung noticed his red eyes, they were bloodshot red, and Jisung was too much around his mother to not know.

-"You're high..."

-"Pft...........no..."- Jisung sighed when Minho refused to accept it, though it was obvious for the younger, though Minho was a little surprised since he was good at hiding it, though he forgot his eyedrops.

Jisung sighed and closed the book, it was useless to try and get Minho to learn something in that stage, so he just decided to do his homework but then Minho's dad burst into the room with a small paper and Mrs. Lee behind him with a concerned look.

-"You got detention, for fighting, again?"- Minho looked at him, though he tried to not make eye contact with his dad.

-"I tough we talked about your behavior... it's useless to even try with you, just a waste of time...  I don't know what I did wrong with you... your brother was at least educated and had good grades but you had to ruin that too."- he stopped when his wife took his arm, that was a sensible topic and she thought Minho was crying because of his red eyes, though Minho just looked down, he didn't even care, he felt bad too but he just tried to push it away.

The man left the paper on the nightstand and walked away; it was another detention card that added to Minho's collection, Jisung felt a little bad, he knew something was behind Minho's behavior, but he didn't ask, just to not make him uncomfortable.

...

Jisung walked slowly while Felix followed beside him, it was cloudy, the wind was nice though, both guys liked the feeling of the strong wind blowing on them. Minho had ditched him, again, but he preferred to walk with his friend than with that ungrateful guy.

-"Do you know if Minho has like... problems?"- The blond raised an eyebrow at the question but then just looked to the front, thinking about it.

-"Not really... but there was just one time when he was all emotional, like the whole day he looked like he wanted to cry, and it was after his brother's funeral..."- Jisung nodded, it kinda made sense since Minho always avoided that conversation and would look at their family pictures with a sad/guilt look, but before Jisung could ask or say more, the other interrupted when they stopped at a street.

-"I have to go, I just remember I had to help my dad and brother with something! bye, Ji, see you tomorrow ~"- Jisung watched as Felix ran at the street to the side and Jisung just kept walking where luckily his bus was. He hoped in and stood at the back, holding unto a bar since the seats were all taken, but all the ride he just thought about what Felix told him.
