Woof! Woof! Give me some attention! [Changlix] [Discontinued]

Chapter 2: Little Coffee Break [Minsung]

"Ooh, ooh! Let's stop there!" Jisung calls out enthusiastically, pointing at his favourite cafe.

They had been driving around in the car looking at recommendations for nearby food on their phones. They read a description for each food place and take a vote. While deciding, they drive around with the windows down, playing music. Jisung had been staring out the window, humming along. Then, he saw his favourite cafe and just had to announce it.

"Fine, Jisungie," Chan replies, knowing he wouldn't be able to battle the younger.

Chan knew Changbin wouldn't argue either. If you drove by Jisung's favourite cafe, then he would want to go there. If you deny him his precious cafe time, then he would whine and complain about it for the rest of lunch. If you went to a different place, he would claim that it was, "not good enough," or that it's "just not as satisfying." Besides, it made Chan happy seeing Jisung happy. And it's not like the food was bad, they'd just been there too often and always ordered the same thing. Sometimes it's good to have variety.

Chan and Changbin also knew the reason why Jisung always wanted to go there. No, it wasn't for the food. It had to do with a certain someone who worked there. This certain someone, by the name of Lee Minho, was the reason. Yes, it's true. Han Jisung has a crush on Lee Minho, that huge flirt. Jisung originally denied it, but after visiting the cafe more and more, and Chan repeatedly directing his knowing look at Jisung, he admitted it. When he finally told both Chan and Changbin simultaneously said, "Congratulations! You're the last to know," which freaked Jisung out.

After that, Jisung would talk about Minho more, and if Chan or Changbin told him to grow some bal- I mean, to ask him out,, he would say he's 'waiting for the right moment'. Jisung isn't really a romantic, just a coward. At this response, they would always share a look then sigh, and Jisung would grumble in annoyance before they'd remind him he was the one who brought the subject of Minho up.

Anyway, they had finally pulled into the cafes parking lot. Chan locked the car before walking in. The cafe was small, but it was always busy. Many people came during lunch breaks or for morning coffee, enjoying the smell and feel of the cafe. The cafe itself was very artsy, paintings and plants were strewn around the shop and there was a small waterfall that welcomed customers in. It smelled like fresh baked pastries and dew from a mourning flower.

As the bell rang, notifying the staff of their arrival, Chan saw Minho rush to the counter to take their order. Minho went as far as pushing his coworker, Seungmin, out of the way. Seungmin was another one of their close friends. Chan could've sworn Jisung's breath hitched upon seeing Minho.

Jisung, unable to compose himself in time to order, stuttered out, "Um- yeah- I'd like to order a-a hot chocolate, p-please."

"Whipped cream, or no?" Minho flutters his eyelashes at Jisung, who momentarily forgets how to breathe.

Changbin snickers to Chan, "Oh, he's plenty whipped already," who sniggers back.

Moving over to the booth in the corner, Chan and Changbin continued sniggering, much to Jisung's embarrassment. Everyone had ordered and received their drinks and food (Jisung also received a wink [surprisingly he didn't die, I know I would]). Apparently, Minho loved teasing Jisung. He would wink, whistle, and pull faces at Jisung just to get him flustered.

After wiping away his tears from laughing so hard, Chan sighs, glancing over at his best friend. He wondered when Jisung would finally realize that, yes, Minho does like him. And, yes, Minho enjoys Jisung's company (despite him only coming in to order, Minho occasionally sitting with him). He knew that Minho seemed like a huge flirt but was really only trying to get Jisung's attention the way he knew how. He also knew Jisung wasn't going to understand that Minho wasn't just messing with him, he actually liked him. And he knew Minho would need to spell it out to Jisung.

Noticing Jisung slapping his red cheeks and covering his face in embarrassment, he thought, 'hopeless.' But then again, after looking at the way Minho is staring after Jisung right now, he realized that maybe they're both hopeless. He hopes, in the future, they will continue to be hopeless together.

Soon after they got settled, Chan noticed Jisung's eyes fixated on his cup and not Minho, his blush growing by the second. Chan began to fear Jisung was going to explode with how red he looks. Making a quick decision, the oldest snatches the cup from Jisung's hand, not allowing him any time to realize what just happened.

Chan reads the cup, pushing Jisung's face away when he whined and protested, grabbing at the cup. "I'm nuts about you!" was written on the side with a cute squirrel drawing and a phone number at the bottom. (Minho stayed up late memorizing a tutorial he saw on YouTube on how to draw a cute squirrel). He smiles, understanding why Minho was staring after Jisung. He was proud Minho had finally made a move.

"How long do you think he's been planning this number thing?" Chan asks, poking Changbin, who had been staring at his phone.

"W-what!?" Jisung sputters, finally reaching around Chan to snatch his cup back.

Changbin shrugs, downing the rest of his coffee. Answering nonchalantly, he says, "Probably a couple weeks now, maybe a few months. I mean, he's got to build up confidence, right?"

Chan and Changbin both nod in sync, turning their attention to Jisung.

"H-huh!?" Jisung stutters out, still completely oblivious.

"Hopeless," Chan finally sighs his thought out loud. Changbin nods, solemnly agreeing with him. Then, he goes immediately back to looking at his phone.

I know I said this was a Changlix fic, but I couldn't help myself. Sorry, not sorry. Don't worry though, we'll get back to the main "issue".

In case you're as oblivious as Jisung, Minsung is a heavily implied ship. (Might even become canon ;) in this story)
