Delicate ~ Minsung

Chpt. 3

   Jisung looked up at Changbin and gave an awkward smile.

   "You have a lot to explain." Changbin said right as Minho and the other boy left. Jisung froze, he really didnt wanna talk about this. He didnt wanna talk at all. Changbin saw this on the younger boy's face and decided he wouldnt force him to speak unless it was urgent. "Hey, hey, it's okay Ji. Just nod or shake your head according to my question, okay?" Changbin asked.

   Changbin cared a lot for Jisung. He had been there for almost every hardship he had went through. Changbin knew that Jisung didnt like to talk, and he knew why. He was there for it. And from that day forward, he vowed to protect the younger boy.

   Jisung nodded his head and Changbin started to slowly ask questions.

   "Firstly, do you know him well?"

   Jisung shook his head.

   "Did you meet him recently?"

   A nod.

   "Is he a good person?" At this, Jisung froze again. Was he a good person? First of all, he was in a gang. Plus he pulled a gun on Jisung. Yet, he didnt harm him and called him cute. So, was he a good person? Luckily, Jisung was saved when Seungmin walked into the bakery.

   "Oh hey guys! How are you two?" Seungmin asked as he looked at the two.

   "Hey Min! And we're pretty good. Ready to close up, though. That's for sure," Changbin said as he gave Jisung a look saying 'we'll finish this conversation later.'

   Jisung nodded and went to the kitchen to put away the left out ingredients and wipe the counters down. Once he did that, he quickly grabbed three cupcakes he had made earlier when buisness was slow. One had royal blue icing with a toothpick in it with a piece of paper on it that said "Binnie." The second one was a light yellow with the toothpick sign saying "Minnie." The third was a light purple and said "Sungie." Jisung placed them on his favorite plate; a white one with pink flowers and green leaves. He walked out and saw the two laughing. He smiled, he loved his friends.

   "Hey, Ji! You ready to lea- wooah," Changbin said as he turned around and saw the pretty cupcakes. Seungmin smiled and hugged a smiling Jisung.

   "These are so cute, Sungie! You even made our favorite flavors! You know how much I love lemon!" Seungmin said as he grabbed the yellow one.

   Changbin smiled softly and grabbed the one with his nickname. "You know red velvet is my favorite, Jiji," Changbin said as he ruffled Jisung's hair. The quiet boy grabbed the last cupcake, strawberry, and they all gave cheers.

   Jisung smiled at his friends. They'd been there for everything. And he wanted to explain to Changbin what had happened. He hadn't talked for around two months currently, but he thought it was worth it. He quickly finished his cupcake, as did the others, and then decided to take action.

   "Hey Ji, you ready to leave?" Changbin asked.

   "U-um actually B-Binnie can w-we talk p-please?" He asked with a small voice. It wavered and stuttered, but it made a sentence nonetheless. Both Seungmin and Changbin looked shocked, but immediately hid it and answered.

   "Sungie, are you absolutely sure you want to do this? You know we dont want to force you into anything," Seungmin said. Though he hadn't been their earlier, Changbin had told him about the man who visited.
