Jeongin sighed quietly as he rewatched some interviews from when they were in America. Felix slowly walked into Jeongin's room and sat on his bed. "You should just tell him" Felix mumbled while looking over at Jeongin's laptop. The youngest shook his head quickly while shutting his laptop.

"You know I can't" he whispered while glancing across the room to see Seungmin sleeping peacefully. This time Felix sighed. Jeongin had been tiptoeing around Chan for months now because he was too afraid that the older would find out about his fat crush on him.

"Jeongin you can't keep playing this game. Avoiding him at any cost. Just tell him, you guys can figure something out. Chan is rational" Felix explained while patting Jeongin on the back "now is your time. He's alone in the kitchen" he continued while literally dragging Jeongin up out of bed and out of the room. The younger was protesting pulling against Felix's grip on his wrists.

"No! No please!" He yelled as Felix continued to drag him towards their leader. Chan heard the commotion in the hallway and peaked his head out of the kitchen. "what's going on?" He asked while looking at the two boys. Felix finally let go of Jeongin's wrists and pushed him into Chan. "Talk. Now" he said before running away towards his room.

Jeongin froze "maybe if I play dead he'll go away" he thought before dropping to the floor dramatically. Chan just watched him for a few seconds before sighing "you've been hanging out with Jisung and Hyunjin too much. Stand up " the younger groaned and stood up. He stared at Chan while the older continued making his food. "I know you have something to tell me. Just talk you can trust me" Chan said while glancing over at the younger boy.

Jeongin weighed the options in his head. Chan could hate him, but the older doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He could never truly hate Jeongin, after all what Felix said was true. Chan was very rational, he never made rash decisions, he never judged anyone. He was the sweetest man on the planet and even if he rejected Jeongin it wouldn't be harsh. Jeongin trusted him.

"Hyung I'm in love" Jeongin finally whispered. Chan froze, dropping his utensils out of shock. "With who?" He asked when he finally let it sink in. His mind was a mess. Jeongin was in love? Their youngest member? And maybe the boy Chan has a small crush on. Chan noticed the hesitancy radiating off the younger.

"You" Jeongin whispered. Chan turned around slowly to look at him. Jeongin's heart was racing. He could hear the loud thumping of it against his chest. Chan was in the same state. His heart was beating a mile a minute. Instead of saying what he really wanted to say, instead of finally confessing to Jeongin, like the older so badly wanted too- he shook his head in reply. "You don't know what love is" he said while grabbing his plate of food and walking away from the younger.
