P.O.V: Jisung

After we ate and paid for our food at the diner, we said goodbye to Chan and Changbin and headed home. When we got back to the dorm, I took off my beanie, shaking out my hair and ears, and fell back onto the bottom bunk of my bed, sighing. "We can't do it Minnie."

"I know Ji, but-"

"But what Minnie? He's going to find out, freak out and tell everyone. I don't want that to happen."

"What if he doesn't do that? What if he's just as nice as Chan Hyung said and is respectful enough to not do that?"

"Those are all 'what ifs' I don't want to risk it."

"People will find out eventually. We should at least meet the guy and give him a chance. We'll just be careful around him."

"I think you mean me. I'll have to be careful around him." I was trying to not take my anger out on my best friend. It's been hard enough keeping this from our friends, but keeping it from a stranger who is moving in with us is a whole other level I don't want to deal with. I sigh and throw my arm over my face. I don't want to think about this right now.

I feel the mattress sink down next to me and movemy arm to see Seungmin pouting at me.

"Please Ji. Let's give him a chance." I sighed "Ji, if this guy lives with us and gets a job, he can help with paying rent. Think of it that way if it'll help."

"Fine, Minnie. I'll meet the guy with you and make the decision then." As I say that, I feel Minnie's arms wrap around me in a hug and I wrap my arms around him in return.
