Jisung's P.O.V

"Stop teasing me!" Minho whines as he slaps my arm playfully.

"But it's so fun, hyung." I laugh while sipping on my bubble tea. He rolls his eyes.

"If I had known you would get this hyper, I wouldn't have bought you sugar." He gestures to my now half full cup. I pout in reply and take another sip, my cheeks puffing up as I chew on the boba pearls.

"Oh my god you look like a squirrel!" Minho laughs and points at my cheeks.

"Now look who's teasing." I fire back sassily. We approach the cafe door and stop when we see a sign hanging from it.

"Oh...looks like they're remodeling it." He says bluntly.

"Should we go somewhere else then?" I ask, turning away from the door. He nods and follows me back to the car.

"How about the mall? It's not closed yet." Minho suggests.

"That sounds good to me I guess...and then we can go for dinner somewhere later." I reply as we get in the car. He just nods in response and starts driving.

"What are we gonna do at the mall? I don't have to buy anything necessary."

"Neither do I, but I guess we can just walk around."

"For three hours? I don't think so, Sungie."

"Well, what else are we gonna do? It's not like the mall has much to offer other than shopping."

"We can probably find something to do. I just realized I have to get a few dress shirts for work." I nod.

"We can do that then." He drives to the mall and I hop out of the car happily, heading into the clothing outlet.

"What kind of dress shirts do you need?"

"Uuum button ups, I think...with the collars that you can stick ties under." I nod, and we start looking through racks. Minho picks up a few shirts and goes to the dressing room, me following. He's changing with me standing outside when I hear him start laughing.

"Jisung, I think I ripped the shirt."

"You what?" I start laughing hysterically.

"Come here, I think I ripped it." He replies. I walk in and shut the door, turning towards him. He lifts up the sleeve and shows me a tiny rip in the seam near the armpit.

"Yeah, you definitely ripped it." I chuckle.

"Shhhhh, if we don't talk about it and just put the shirt back where it was, no one will notice." He laughs quietly. He lifts the shirt back onto its hanger, and that's when I realize he's shirtless. My heart starts doing backflips as my eyes flicker up and down his torso.

"Woah..." I whisper. Minho chuckles.

"Like what you see?" My cheeks go bright red as I meet his eyes.

"I...what...I...I didn't say anything." I stutter. He laughs and pulls his shirt back on, grabbing the others and walking out of the dressing room. I follow him, looking like a blushing mess as he puts the shirts back. We head back to the car and I get in quietly, still flustered. Minho starts driving again.

"Where to for dinner?" He asks.

"Somewhere we can get tteokbbokki. I'm really craving it." I reply.

"I thought you can't handle anything spicy?"

"Tteokbbokki is the exception." He brushes off the topic with a laugh and drives to the restaurant. After getting our food, we're both eating quietly before Minho decides to say something.

"Umm, Jisung..?" He clears his throat.

I look up. "Yes, hyung?" He flicks his eyes away from mine as if he brushed what he was going to say out of his mind.

"N-Nevermind." He replies.

"Okay..." I go back to eating. We finish our food and get back in the car, Minho driving me home. My phone starts ringing so naturally, I answer it.

"Hello?"

"You shouldn't have killed my men, Han...horrible mistake on your part." The voice growls. I quiet my voice so Minho can't hear me.

"You are part of the reason why my life is ruined...you helped my father, and I'm taking revenge."

"Suit yourself." The line cuts off. I get off the call and put my phone back in my pocket.

"Who was it?" Minho asks curiously. "Wrong number," I lie. He nods and pulls up to my house.

"Thanks for today, it was really fun." He says with a smile.

"No problem. I'll see you later, hyung." I get out and walk into the house, watching him leave. After he's gone, I shut the front door and Hyunjin strolls into the hallway with a teasing look.

"What?" I ask.

"You were out with Minho hyung again, weren't you?" He smiles widely.

"Yeah...what about it?"

"You two have been hanging out a lot lately...are you sure you don't have a crush on him?"

"I've told you plenty of times before Hyunjin, I can't fall in love with him. I can't fall in love period."

"And why not?"

"Because I'm unable to be loved, okay?! I'm not a lovable person anymore! For fuck's sake, I'm a mess!" I yell and plop onto the couch. He sighs and sits next to me.

"But you do have a crush on him..."

"Of course I do, how could I not?! He's beautiful in every way...he has his entire life put together, and I'm out here fucking murdering people who ruined me! I'm broken, Hyunjin...and I can never be fixed."

"He could be the one to fix you though...if you'd only just let him in." I look at my lap frustratingly and run my fingers through my hair.

"Hyunjin, I...I love him..." I mumble.

"Why aren't you dating him?"

"Because I'd destroy him..."

Hyunjin smiles. "He'd be into that."

I chuckle at his response. "If you say so..." He gets off the couch, patting my back before going to his room. Why must I fall in love with someone I know I shouldn't have?
