THE world, was definitely not ending. It wasn't. The trees were still intact, the sky wasn't going through some weird phase of it falling like in the movie Chicken Little. Everything was fine, perfectly fine just like any other ordinary day. There was just a subtle change that suddenly occurred in Xu Minghao's life, a change that he wasn't ready for nor had even expected.
"We're dating!" Hansol excitedly spoils, raising his hand that is intertwined with Jun's who is embarrassed within the moment. Their friends clap, only because they can't make things awkward. Joshua and Jeonghan were the best at lying so they took initiative to congratulate the two for the rest of the nine. "Jun stop being so shy." He pokes the boy who finally turns his face towards his friends, cheeks and ears flushed a light pink as the secret was finally revealed.
"How long?" Wonwoo questions, curious about how their relationship sprouted. "I always had a feeling you two had some weird thing going on." Lies. Everyone in the group believed that Minghao and Jun were something special, especially with the way they acted towards each other. Jun being the baby of the group, he wasn't shy with skin-ship and would cling onto the younger male for hours. Minghao wasn't against the affection as he had deep feelings for the boy, and man was he fucked when he received the news.
"Last week Thursday." Jun answers, looking at Hansol for confirmation as the boy nods. "Yeah, sorry for the late notice."
"No worries," Jeonghan tells with a small smile, "we're happy that you guys told us. Doesn't matter when, but we're glad you guys did."
Minghao nods, trying to conceal the disappointment from displaying on his face. He even tried to diffuse the negative vibes around him but it was just too much to handle. He checks his phone once it buzzes, as the young male was quick on his feet to make excuses he widens his eyes to bring a more realistic reaction. "Sorry guys, have to go. Supposedly one of my students need help with math."
"Life of a tutor, could never be me." Jihoon comments before he leaves, but before he zooms off to who knows where. Wonwoo steps in,
"I'll go with you, I need to complete some work and it's not gonna get done here. The cafeteria is too much for my brain to handle." The older boy sits up from his seat and walks on over to Minghao, they both wave their goodbyes and congratulate Hansol and Jun once again for their new relationship. As they drift away from the table and out of the cafeteria area, Minghao digs his nails into his palm as they walk. "Guessing you needed some fresh air after the news. That's understandable."
"It's just..weird." Minghao admits, looking to his friend that stands beside him, "Jun and Hansol? I'm not against it - okay maybe I am, but how. And more of..why?"
