Red String | Minsung

서른셋

Jisung woke up in his bed. He was confused because he didn't remember ever getting into bed in the first place. He sleepily opened his eyes. Right in front of him, awfully close, was Minho. He was already awake and staring at him. "What the fuck?" Jisung exclaimed, his voice raspy. He startled the latter. He didn't realize the younger had woken up and had been staring at his face for a while. "Fuck, Jisung. You startled me." The older spoke, holding his hand over his heart. "Why the fuck are you so close to me?" Jisung interrogated.

"Have you forgotten already? I don't exactly have a choice." Minho replied, lifting up their hands. Jisung groaned. "Damn it. Why can't it just retract already? I don't think I can spend another second with you." He complained. Minho rolled his eyes. "Saying that will not make anything better. In fact, it'll probably only make it worse." The older stated. "Whatever." He said as he sat up. "Wait, what time is it?"

Minho checked the time on his phone. "It's twelve. Why?" He asked. "Shit. I forgot to set my alarm last night!" He shouted. "No, you didn't. I turned it off because it was interrupting my sleep." The brunette admitted. Jisung just looked at him in disbelief. "I- Why didn't you wake me up?" He bellowed. "If I did, you would get up, meaning I would have to get up too." He answered simply. Jisung blinked. "You're unbelievable." He shook his head in disappointment. "What are you in such a rush for anyway?"

"It's Felix's birthday today. I wanted to send him a message this morning." He frowned. "That's it?" Minho asked. Jisung scoffed. "What do you mean 'that's it?' It's his goddamn 18th birthday. What if he met his soulmate? I NEED to know!" He exclaimed. "Well, you can message him now." He responded nonchalantly. Jisung glared at the older before reaching for his phone. He quickly checked for any messages from friends.

He had received a message from Felix. without hesitation, he viewed it. Felix explained what had happened so far. "Holy shit. Felix's soulmate is Changbin?!" Jisung exclaimed. "Wait, really?" Minho spoke up as he heard his friend's name mentioned. "I mean, I'm not that surprised. Felix has been gushing about that shorty since forever." He continued. "So, Felix liked him back after all? Changbin would never stop talking about him, saying he would never like him back." Minho told him.

"I swear, those two are meant for each other. Felix used to say the same thing all the time. He wouldn't believe us when we'd tell him that Changbin had been staring at him for like, ten minutes." The blonde said while laughing. "Wow, they're both so clueless." Minho chuckled. "Wait, WHAT?!" Jisung suddenly exclaimed. "What is it?" The brunette questioned. "Felix said that Changbin nearly kissed him!"

"And? What do you mean nearly?" The older egged him on. "Apparently Seungmin interrupted them. After that, Felix said he ran away. Pussy." He snickered. Minho shook his head. "Why am I not surprised by any of this?" He sighed. "Because they're just too predictable. If I were there, I would've told Felix to go back to Changbin." The blonde stated.

The brunette checked his own phone, seeing he had received messages from Changbin. A majority of the messages were about him and Felix. He scrolled down through the messages and saw the messages about Hyunjin. Minho was shocked. Hyunjin rarely opened up, so it surprised him. He was glad. He always worried about his friend because he always kept his issues to himself.

"Hyung, let's get up now. I'm starving." Jisung suddenly broke the comfortable silence. Minho nodded. "Okay. I need to have a shower." He replied as the younger stood up. He followed the younger off the bed. "Wait a second... How the hell are we going to have a shower?" The blonde questioned. The older stood in place, processing what the squirrel had just said. "Damn, I didn't even think of that." He breathed out, his cheeks turning pink.
