friends.

the pair had been staring at each other for a solid minute, neither of them daring to say anything - until eventually, minho broke the thick silence, startling the younger and causing him to squeak.

"what do you want, ji?" he mumbled as jisung started fiddling with his sweatshirt's sleeves before patching up a reply.

"w-well we were worried about y-you because you seem s-so distant lately, and we decided that i should check on y-you..." he wanted to facepalm for stuttering so much, but minho made no note about that. the male just cooed mentally at him - jisung was just too adorable right now. too bad that the younger was going to hate his guts soon enough.

"well," minho finally said as he shook himself out of the trance, "as you see, i'm perfectly fine. no need for you to stay here anymore, right?" he carefully spoke up, chest clenching painfully.

"b-but hyung, why did you even rent the apartment? why did you lock yourself in the roo-" jisung's words were cut off by the older's scoff. "it's none of your business. please, just leave already." minho rasped out with difficulty.

the petite male was stunned. the older had never spoken to anyone like that - he was always so sweet and caring, especially towards jisung. but he was having none of it - he was going to help minho, no matter what it takes.

"no, hyung. i-i'm not leaving until you tell me what's wrong. we're best friends after all! we shouldn't have secrets." he said, a lot confidently than he was actually feeling.

minho flinched at his words. 'right. that's what we are,' he thought. 'just friends.'
