Minho started to speak again, seeming more confident but still scared. "I...
I'm bisexual..." He stated clearly. A tear of worry or fear fell down his cheeks. Oh Lee Know... I leaned over to touch his hand with mine , but hesitated for a moment. Before I could reach to him he looked me in the eyes, his pupils glowing with watery tears and fire light. He reached over to hug my arm tightly, making it feel as if he'd never let go. My other arm wrapped around his sobbing body to calm him . Although it was clear Changbin and Felix had some strong homosexual tendencies, Minho had been the first brave one to come out. And I don't think anyone saw it coming.
"I'm sorry guys..." Minho cried through my sweater sleeve. Chan stood up immediately, "Minho don't you dare say that. There is nothing to be sorry for." He stated clear and firm. "So you love guys too, so what. You aren't hurting anyone here by loving someone. We love you so much Lee Minho... that will never change because of someone you chose to love." Chan joined me and Minho by hugging his back. He'd repeatedly make a soft "Shhh" to calm him down. The rest of the boys joined in eventually too. Minho was soft and calm now. "I'm proud of you, hyung." Felix stated as Minho lifted his head. Surrounded by all this love I saw his tears turn into joy.
"I'm proud of you too... " I quietly said. My cheeks started to feel a bit heated, but I assume it's just the flames. He gives me this smile... he makes an innocent and adorable face. He appears shy. The expression makes my insides feel all tingly again, and we just look at each other for a minute until someone speaks up. "Ooh Minho. I see you have your first gay crush?" Hyunjin laughed sarcastically. "Pfft. Yea right. Jisung? I love him, but as a bro. Plus I see him getting with Emma. He doesn't deserve someone like me." Minho laughed a bit, but Hyunjin just strangely rolled his eyes. The old Minho was back. He hadn't changed. Just sarcastic sweet smiles and giggles from all around. Chan was rolling his eyes in the background at the mention of his sister, but a smirk was on his face to show he wasn't annoyed.
Minho was right. It was silly to think that he'd like me. Or that I'd be gay. It was... funny... right? I bet he'll find a nice guy soon. I just stared at him for a moment , and it was nice. Until he looked back of course... then it was...
"Jisung?" I heard a voice whisper in my mind. "Jisung!" And then it snapped. It was Minho. He was looking at me too, all confused though. "You ok...?" Oh shit... he caught me. I'm in deep trouble. Quick you need an excuse. I... I...
"Yea I'm fine ! Just uh... getting tired so, kinda dazing off" I quickly explained. He appeared to believe it which was all that mattered. Until I felt my cheeks burn. Then we had another problem. Quickly I pulled my grey hood over and tucked into my knees. I could feel heat surround me but I guess it was just the fire and not the stares of everyone. How embarrassing... and what even was the reason for looking at him like that. I mean he's cute and all but everyone can admit that. No homo. I'm not gay. I swear. I- can't be. Emma would hate me! She wouldn't even date me. That makes no sense anyways. It just....
It just suddenly felt nice.
Until a tingle hit my shoulder as I suddenly felt surrounded by silence. I lifted my hood and saw a dead fire, only a small flame. Did I miss something? Everyone was gone. There were no conversations. I must have fallen asleep. But that feeling on my shoulder... what was it? I turned to see Minho looking at my with a feeling of humor. "You fell asleep, Han." He stated to me. "Everyone's gone."
"Oh... eh heh." I laughed tiredly and with embarrassment. "But it's fine. You wanna head inside now?" The boy offered. I mean, I lived feet away so I could just go home. But something just wanted me to stay. "Are you sure? I can just walk home it's not like i need to stay over or ..." I replied trying to get out of it. But he just gave me this look as if I already lost the argument. "I'll take the couch..." I sighed in agreement. Minho was happy, thats all that mattered at the moment. He took me inside and up to his room. He told me how he redid it since I was last here, that's why no one could come in over the summer. Too much work. It used to have old wallpaper and dark walls. Holes from old kids decorations punctured the walls. Now, it was clean with dusty blue walls. Pictures of our group surrounding the walls and a messy bed with a cute cat plush showed someone had laid there. He had fairy lights and Polaroids, all the typical aesthetic things a teen dreams to have in his bedroom.
"Wow... it looks amazing in here. " It truly did. It was magical and smelt like those soft blanket yankee candles. "you uh... you can sleep with this tonight if you want ." Minho stated with a faux fur blanket in his hands and a soft pillow. I gently declined , saying i had brought my own. He nodded with a bit of embarrassment and placed it on his bed. "Wanna watch something before we head to sleep? I mean we don't have school tomorrow so we should stay up!" Minho asked. Of course I accepted, I'm a sucker for a good show. We decided on something funny, The Office to be specific, as it was currently what I was binge watching and what Minho was rewatching. My favorite episode was on, the fire safety episode. Made me realize how big of a jerk I'd be in an emergency.
"Make yourself comfortable, I'm gonna grab a snack. Want anything?" The other boy offered. I told him just water and whatever he was eating. He nodded with a little giggle and walked down his hall. His bed was soft, I hadn't felt the new sheets or comforter he had yet. And I hesitated but sat down on the soft mattress, leaning back against the head board behind me while being careful not to knock anything down either. I threw my blanket over my knees and waited until-
"I'm back!" Minho smiles, walking in with two tiny bowls and little water bottles. "Did you get ice cream?" I asked. Minho didn't like ice cream unless it was soft serve and I'm 101% sure he doesn't have a soft serve machine in his kitchen. "Even better! Just the whipped cream." He smirked to me, handing me the tiny bowl. "Oh... interesting." I replied.
Ill admit the night was fun. From Minho seeming to inhale his snack to the funny shows on the TV made for a great night. It was quiet for a while, I wondered why. Turning my head there was Minho. His messy haired head soft asleep on his bed. Oh god... how am I gonna leave now. He was a light sleeper and could wake to anything. But there was no way I would be sleeping in the same bed as him.
Like I love Minho as my friend and all but... sleeping can't happen . Or well... not now...
