there was an obvious awkward tension building in chanmi's apartment, and chanmi sat right in between the two causes; bang chan and lee minho. the two boys were having an intense staring contest, minho having a playful smirk on his face while chan looked scarily serious. all while they sat on either side of chanmi, minho on her right side and chan on her left side.
chanmi looked over to jaehyun who sat at a chair next to the couch where the tension radiated from. jaehyun shrugged and chanmi gave him the best puppy dog look she could, causing the boy to roll his eyes.
jaehyun groans, "are you guys going to make out or are we going to do this project?"
chanmi lets out a laugh as both chan and minho glare at jaehyun. chanmi stands up and claps, preparing to talk about the project, but she is pulled to sit back down. chanmi's eyes widen as she feels an arm around her shoulders, she looks over and sees the boy who pulled on her arm smirking.
"what the hell do you think you're doing?" chan scoffs and glares at minho, who only shrugged in return.
chanmi pushed minho's arm off of her and speedily walked over to jaehyun, who seemed to be the only other sane one in the room. "back to the project-"
jaehyun started, but was cut off by chan, "what's your deal?"
jaehyun rolled his eyes at being cut off and sits back down, chanmi patting his back. "what do you mean? i'm trying to get this project done, but you won't let any progress happen."
chan became even more agitated by the boy sitting on the couch and jaehyun just wanted to go home and sleep at this point. "what do you mean? you're the one being touchy with chanmi."
"i have barely spoken, i really don't know what you mean." minho sighs and leans his head back.
chanmi smacks jaehyun's arm and motions her head for the door, jaehyun smiling at the idea. together, the two quietly escape from the situation. they make it out and abruptly shut the door, causing minho and chan to look over to see jaehyun and chanmi missing.
"why those little." chan mutters and runs to the door.
chanmi pulls on the door from the other side of the door, "jaehyun! hold onto the door and make sure the idiots don't escape!"
jaehyun nods and pulls on the door, making sure the two on the other side couldn't open it. "jay if you don't open the door right now!"
"are you really that mad to be stuck in an apartment with me?" minho chuckles as he leans against chanmi's dining table.
chan stops his efforst to escape and smiles at minho, "oh hell yeah." chan starts pulling on his side of the door, but jaehyun wasn't budging any time soon.
chanmi runs back to jaehyun, out of breath and caring a random chair from minho's apartment. jaehyun gives her a confused look, wondering how she got into the boy's apartment.
chanmi holds up a key, "i took it from him while he was having his little moment with chan."
jaehyun chuckles and moves a little, so chanmi could place the chair under the door knob, trapping the two in chanmi's apartment. jaehyun lets go and chanmi dusts off her hands like she did a harder job than jaehyun.
"now," chanmi lets out a sigh, "you two make friends or else you aren't coming out!"
chanmi looks over to jaehyun and walks towards to minho's apartment. the girl takes out her phone, texting some friends and ordering pizza.
"you're both dead when i get out!" chan shouts, continuing to try and break down the door.
minho walks to the kitchen, "what's so bad about being here with me?"
"you're annoying." chan straight forwardly tells minho.
minho nods and looks through the cabinets, "or is it because i'm getting too close to chanmi for your liking? what? are you two dating?"
chan stops and looks over to minho, proceeding to burst out in a laughing fit. scared at the sudden mood change, minho drops the ramen he picked from the cabinet.
"me? dating that hot mess? no, you've got it wrong, kid."
minho picks up the ramen and looks over to chan, "then explain please, what is right?"
chan stops with trying to escape and takes a seat at the dining table, "she's like a little sister to me.
minho nods, starting to make two things of ramen, "ah, so you guys are close like that? that's why you got all pissy with me being with her while drunk and then me being teasing with her?"
chan shrugs, "i guess so, i'm basically like her older brother, so it was weird seeing that."
silence fills the air, but there was no more tension, just a comfortable silence. minho finishes making the ramen and places a bowl in front of chan and one in front of himself.
"so as her 'older brother', i'm guessing you know she's depressed and doesn't want to be here anymore?" minho starts eating his ramen and chan immediately starts choking on his ramen.
"she what?"
