"Okay wait, I'm still trying to wrap my head around that fact that you, Seo Changbin, actually like someone. That is practically unheard of!" Seungmin shouted. Changbin was correct in thinking that it wasn't just gonna be him and Jisung, but he thought that, at most, it would just be Minho, but nope, it was everyone. Hyunjin, Seungmin, Minho, Woojin, Chan, Jisung and even Jeongin. Changbin just wanted to talk to Jisung and Minho about his situation with a certain person since they were the only two that knew about it, but since everyone else was there, it turned into a group conversation.
"It's not that big of a deal. It's not like he's in love with the dude." Hyunjin said and looked to Changbin, who just kind of hesitated. Hyunjin's eyes widened and there was a collective gasp as everyone took a moment to process the possibilities of what Changbin's hesitation could mean.
Minho spoke up first. "So, you do love him?" he asked and Changbin shrugged, covering his face with his hands out of both embarrassment and frustration.
"Maybe? I honestly don't know. I noticed that I have this weird feeling every time I'm around him but I didn't know what it was. Then early today, when Jeongin asked if we were dating, I couldn't stop thinking about it. Like, how can I love someone that I've only know for a few months and haven't even dated?" Changbin's voice was serious but not a bad kind of serious, something the others weren't used to hearing.
The room fell silent for a couple minutes, everyone trying to figure out the right thing to say in the unfamiliar situation. Woojin eventually saved everyone from a prolonged awkward silence. "You know, I wouldn't stress too much about it. What I would do is maybe ask him out and kind of just see where it goes. Besides, its been more than a few months, it's been an entire school year, so it's not like you're really rushing into things," he tried reassuring Changbin. The others nodded their heads and gave mumbled agreements.
"Woojin here to save the day, yet again," Chan said with a dorky smile causing some of the others to laugh. Changbin just chuckled and rubbed his neck with his hand nervously.
"Alright, so now I just gotta figure out a way to ask him out?" he asked and the others nodded their heads a little to violently. Changbin's phone vibrated in his pocket so he pulled it out and checked the notification. All of a sudden, he felt like he was going to throw up. "Felix just texted me..."
"And?" Jisung asked for everyone in the room. Everyone seemed to be on the edges of their seats, as if they were watching a cheesy drama fold out in front of them.
"He said he's on his way. I don't know if I can do this. Why am I so nervous all of sudden? What's happening with me? Someone help calm me down," Changbin got up and started pacing back and forth around the living room, talking nonstop as he did. "What if he doesn't want to date me? What if I ruin our friendship? What if he totally ignores me after this? What if he has to move back to Australia? I'm not good with long distance relationships, I can barely handle this. What if-" his erratic questions were interrupted when someone threw a shoe at him. "Yah! What was that for?"
Jisung had gotten up from his spot and walked towards his friend. He placed his hands on the his shoulders to stop him from moving anymore. "You need to breath, Bin. You're overthinking this. Everything is going to be fine, just be yourself dude." Jisung always knew what to say to help calm Changbin down, no matter what the situation was. Even if it was something simple, just his tone of voice helped to relax Changbin, and he was eternally grateful for it.
Changbin took a breath and closed his eyes, calming his nerves as best he could. "Thank you, Jisung" he said after he opened his eyes. Jisung nodded and gave him a comforting smile before he went back and sat down. Just as Changbin had finally settled down enough to where his breathing was normal again and the urge to puke wasn't as bad, the doorbell rang. Changbin could feel his heart speed up and he started to get nervous again. He looked at Jisung who just gave him a silent motion to take a breath and relax, which he did. He slowly made his way to the front door and turned the door handle with a shaky hand.
