"Hyunjin?" Jisung says as he approaches the lunch table. He could feel Minho's eyes on him but he tried to ignore it as best he could. He was still far too ashamed of himself to speak to him. "Can I talk to you for a second?" He asks quietly, but obviously not quietly enough.

"Sure" Hyunjin stands and gets ready to follow Jisung but a voice stops them.

"Jisung you can talk to Hyunjin later" Chan says, a smile on his face as usual "you gotta spend time with your boyfriend"
Only now did Jisung allow his gaze to travel to Minho who sat with his head down.

"That's not fair, this is important" he insists but Chan shrugs.

"You two got three strikes, this is your punishment now sit your ass back down" Changbin butts in. Hyunjin gives the younger an apologetic smile before sitting back in his seat.

Jisung sighs and moves to sit beside Minho, resting his head on his palm and looking in the opposite direction. He needed to talk to Hyunjin. He'd been thinking about it all night, and as much as he wanted to believe Hyunjin wouldn't lie to him, he also couldn't shake the suspicion that he did know why Minho hates him.

His mind was a mess. Jisung couldn't seem to decide whether he wanted to be friends with Minho or if he despised the thought of it. Hyunjin was the only person he felt he could trust right now to ask for advice.

"Look at you two" Woojin laughs "you don't even look like a couple" he points out, earning nods and agreements from the others.

Jisung had no intention of answering. Usually he would throw back a sarcastic comment, but today he wasn't in the mood. But surprisingly Minho was.
"Because were not" he says, his voice sounding bored and tired. He seemed just as fed up with this whole thing as Jisung did.

"So how was the date?" Felix asks, smiling his usual bright smile. Unlike the others, Felix looked like he genuinely wanted to know if they had a good time. Just from the way the others were looking, Jisung could tell they only wanted to know if they had gotten any closer or if they were now 'best friends'.

"It was...okay" Minho shrugs, keeping his answer as short as possible. His whole focus was on a bracelet, twisting it and pulling it around his wrist. Jisung knew this was all to avoid talking to him.

"Okay? Come on is that all you have to say about it?" Woojin asks and Jisung can see Minho becoming more uncomfortable by the second. Was the way Jisung had yelled in his face the cause of this sudden awkwardness? Probably.

Jisung sighs and looks over at Woojin "it started out good, but we ended up arguing like usual" he says, saving Minho the effort of saying another half arsed reply.

"Arguing? I thought you two were over that?" Hyunjin pipes up but quickly apologises when Jisung shoots him a glare. He thought the questions would be over.

Before Jisung had the chance to answer, Minho speaks up, finally looking away from his bracelet "we were"
Jisung had to admit, he felt the sting from that comment.

Jisung already knew he shouldn't have yelled at Minho like that, but the thought of giving into him was harder than it was to hate him. He was constantly repeating to himself that he didn't like Minho and he never would. But the convincing wasn't exactly working and it freaked him out.

"You guys need to act like a couple for the rest of the month" Chan groans "you're not even trying, you lost fair and square so you gotta pay the price"

Jisung could feel himself getting more and more annoyed. He didn't know if it was his competitive side or the fact that his friends didn't think he was trying. If only they knew the things he had done to get to this point.
He could see Hyunjin trying to give him a reassuring smile but it wasn't exactly working.

"We're not trying?" Jisung repeats, annoyance evident in his tone. For the first time that day, Minho looked up at him.

"Yeah, you sit next to one another like you're complete strangers" Chan points out. Jisung took note of the way Felix and Jeongin instantly looked uncomfortable, slouching in their seats as they watch the argument unfold.

Jisung feels a hand on his knee "don't argue" Minho whispers, just quiet enough for Jisung to hear.

"Argue? Who said I was arguing?" he whispers back, but Minho only gave him a look as if to say 'I'm not stupid'. Jisung ignores it, pushing the elders hand off his knee as he turns to look back at Chan. "If I wasn't trying do you think I'd do this?" With that he grabs Minho's face, bringing it closer to his own and crashing their lips together.

The table erupted into gasps but Jisung ignores them, kissing Minho for a few seconds longer before forcing himself to pull away. Quickly he brings his hand up to wipe his lips, glancing around at the shocked faces, although Jisung had assumed Minho would be furious, the elder actually looked a little dazed by the sudden action.

Jisung laughs nervously and stands from the table "I'd like to see you tell me I'm not trying now" he mutters before running off, leaving the table in pure shock.
