*Seungmin's POV*

Seungmin had been trying to keep a friendly distance from Hyunjin ever since that day. As the days had been passing, Seungmin had been noticing more and more of the things that Hyunjin did for him in more than just a friendly way, and it killed him to practically try to ignore these things because he would notice that way Hyunjin's face would drop and he would escape the happy mood he was in almost immediately. Seungmin felt terrible, but it was what he needed to do to try and make Hyunjin stop looking at him in such affectionate ways. It was for the both of them.

As of now, he, Hyunjin and Jeongin were seated in a luxurious car on their ways to Chan's funeral.

A few days ago, Minho had gotten a call from Chan, of who no body had heard of since he went missing. Minho had explained to the three sitting in the car and to Jisung that his family thought he was dead and they were going to hold a funeral for him in a few days, he had told them to 'be there' and given an address. They were all beyond shocked upon hearing the words from Minho and he seemed to be as well.

Over the phone, Minho had asked what they should do about Felix, he had responded saying to not worry about him. This had everyone curious as no one really knew where Felix was either or if he knew about the funeral at all.

Chan's family life was also a mystery to all of them as none of them could say they were really friends with him, the only ties they had to him were Minho and Felix. So why did he want them there? What could they expect at the funeral?

Chan had gotten someone to take two drivers to the campsite and explain that the students had to go somewhere and would be back, before picking them up. Minho and Jisung were alone in the other car...Seungmin was not curious to find out what was going on there.

Judging by the fancy cars, everyone assumed that Chan's family must be rich which scared them as they didn't know how many people would be invited. Would they be able to fit in? Luckily, they were given fancy suits which they now sat uncomfortably in.

The car was a shiny, black limousine and so, the three all sat comfortably. Still, Jeongin chose to sit on Hyunjin's lap, seeing this sparked a little bit of jealousy in Seungmin.

Hyunjin fed Jeongin popcorn pieces and Jeongin would shy away each time Hyunjin would call him 'cute'. They were acting like a married couple, it was just stupid, Seungmin was annoyed. He sat at the seat across from them with his arms crossed and a sour look on his face.

They did that for half of the ride until something Jeongin said something that caught Seungmin's attention. "Hyung, do you like anyone?"

His eyes clung to Hyunjin and he seemed almost desperate for an answer, only, Seungmin couldn't tell which; yes or no.

Seungmin knew he was being selfish, but he really hoped that Jeongin wasn't asking for his own sake.

Hyunjin paused for a moment. Then he connected eyes with Seungmin. It was for a split second, but he had seen it, and now the image of Hyunjin's face that held such conflict, like it is now, looking into Seungmin's eyes holding so much stress to find a simple answer.

He finally looked down at Jeongin, ready to answer.

"No."

*Hyunjin's POV*

Seungmin had been looking sour the whole car ride. Hyunjin would occasionally steal glances at the brown head boy and every time he did, he would be sitting with his arms crossed and his face twisted. He must be having a bad day, Hyunjin thought.

Jeongin had asked him earlier if he had anyone he liked...

Hyunjin didn't know what to say. Seungmin had been acting differently towards him recently. He thought he might've just been home sick or something, but he found that he was acting normal to everyone else. It was only him.

Seungmin was acting distant towards him and he really just wanted the old Seungmin back. He had noticed that every time he went to rest him arm on his shoulder, Seungmin would move away or flinch, Hyunjin had gotten extremely scared thinking about this one night. He thought, 'maybe he knows?'. He hoped that wasn't the case, but he would try to do anything to restore their friendship. So he answered Jeongin with 'no'. Seungmin stayed expressionless, so he couldn't tell what the effect was. Now he was just anxious.

He was distracted, thinking about what he could do to get Seungmin back to normal, for the rest of the ride.

He figured that talking to him about the matter wouldn't work, considering Seungmin was a pretty stubborn person and wouldn't admit to doing any sort of change.

He tried to stay in focus as poor Jeongin was trying to make conversation with him.

*Minho's POV*

Minho and Jisung were alone in a limousine and while Minho was staring at Jisung, Jisung was staring through the tinted window.

The two shared a seat and jisung had his body turned to get a better view, except he wasn't looking outside for the view, he was lost deep in thought. Minho could tell.

Jisung held a sad expression, eyebrows drawn together and a frown on his lips. Minho wanted to know what was bothering his little squirrel, but he knew that asking wouldn't help Jisung in any way. So he grabbed him by the waist and sat him on his lap so and made it so they could face eachother.

"Hi cupcake." Minho spoke, trying to keep the concern out of his tone and sounding as cheerful as possible. It worked, jisung smiled and blushed. Minho loved that Jisung still gave reactions to the simple things he did, like calling him pet names.

Minho loved that he could make Jisung smile his beautiful smile so wide. It was one of his favourite things to exist in the universe and he wouldn't want to give it up for anything.

But although Jisung's lips portrayed a smile, his eyes still held the same gloom. Right now, Minho felt that the best thing for Jisung was hugs and cuddles, which Minho was more than happy to provide.

He lifted Jisung off his lap and stood up to get a blanket that was conveniently placed on the seat opposite to theirs. Jisung didn't speak, something was definitely wrong.

He sat back down and held his arms out, gesturing for Jisung to cuddle into him. Jisungs eyes lit up for a quick second and Minho felt proud, knowing he had done the right thing. He smiled at the way Jisung immediately put his arms around Minho's waist and rested his head on his shoulder. Once they were in position, Minho got the blanket and covered the two.

Jisung let out a yawn. Minho kissed the top of his head and spoke softly "sleep."

It had been around 10 minutes and Minho had thought Jisung had fallen asleep, but he asked, "do you think Felix is okay? His home life isn't exactly the best. I'm so worried." He said the last part in a whisper, as if almost wanting Minho to not hear.

Minho sighed, he didn't know anything about Felix's home life, so he didn't exactly know what to answer. But Chan had told him to not worry about Felix, and Minho knew that Felix meant something to Chan. So he had assumed Chan had taken care of things. "I trust Chan, don't worry too much. He'll be okay sungie. Get some sleep precious." Minho answered, stroking Jisung's hair.
