The Titanic Incident » xiuhan

Chapter 11

Minseok's P.O.V.

"What are you doing?" Suho asked, following my steps as I had backed away from Luhan's view. I looked at him who stood in front of me and grinned, not even believing how many times I had bumped into him lately. "It's Luhan, I can't-" I murmured and stopped speaking in the middle of my words.

Suho's eyes widened as he visibly fought the idea of turning around to look in the direction I was very much avoiding. "That Luhan?" he questioned, turning to look at Kai who looked at us utterly confused and a bit scared, even. Maybe we had something to do with the latter one, though. I nodded to Suho and sighed.

"He keeps ghosting around, what should I do? It's not like I could just- jump off. That's not an option. Or wait, is it? I mumbled, desperately almost. Suho punched my arm lightly, rolling his eyes. "It's not."

"You need to face him, do you hear me?" he continued, shaking my whole body by the grip he had on my coat's padded shoulder. I shrugged his hand off me, reminding him I was, in fact, older than him. "Never." I shook my head, nowhere near willing to face Luhan again. I didn't know what made me so reluctant about him; I was very aware he hadn't actually hurt me in purpose. What he had done had been an accident, a miscalculation in a short moment.

Why was I so unforgiving over such a humane mistake? Was it the feeling he made wave over me anytime I saw him? Overpowering tightening in my chest, wanting to run away?

I couldn't tell, all I knew was I obviously wanted to run and hide. Like there was a bunch of hiding places in this ship, anyways, I hummed to myself.

A sudden shock woke me up from my thoughts as I realised Luhan was indeed seated in the hall very next to this one.

"I need to go," I said hurriedly.

"What are you guys doing, who is Luhan? I'm fed up with this, you not telling me what you're talking about,-" Kai whined and walked to us, swinging his arms in the air in an annoyed way before Suho shushed him quiet.

"What? What is wrong with you, hyung...s?" he asked in a louder tone, causing me to grin rather nervously, trying to surpass the boiling feeling inside of me. Not now.

"Shut up, will you?" Suho said harshly, more of a command than a question.

"The fuck?" the other continued rambling, "I get you're older than me and all but can you stop handling me like a baby?"

The slight grin I had had on my face faded away as a before hidden sense of anger washed over me. I rarely got angry, but God, this brat.

"You're younger, Jongin," I reminded him why respecting us wasn't a bad idea. "Besides, you steal from the poor and from the rich although you're in first class." The words came out of my mouth like they were poison, dripping with a feeling of annoyance and recent anger without borders.

"And on top of all that, you're rude and noisy, and God, I'm going to throw you out for those damn sharks if you don't shut up right fucking now. Are we clear?" I inched towards the confused man in front of me, he now having a look of unsureness plastered on his face instead of his annoyingly sure smirk. Sure over nothing but his nonexistent charm. Now even that was gone.

Suho looked at the scene with wide eyes, surprised my usually very calm and collected self had exploded like that. I felt like I returned the stare at him.

"A...alright," Kai mumbled, not having an argument to go against me with. I created one more rather angry look at him, the anger being very present. "Go," I scoffed, never taking my eyes off him. He nodded awkwardly and stepped away before turning his back to us and going to the way I had come here from.
