lockdown ♡ hyunin

→ hyunjin's dumb, and innie's sad. so han jisung comes to the rescue!

-------------------------------------

[hyunjin.]

yes, i lied about the cleaning the house because one, i can't clean for my life and two, i need to think about why jeongin lied to me.

i called jisung on the phone to tell him about what happened, since minho and jeongin were playing with the cats and kkami.

obviously, our conversation wasn't going too well. what did i expect from my best friend but continuous scolding?

"well you are sure as hell aren't going to get answers if you lowkey kicked him out bro." i didn't see him, but i bet he was rolling his eyes at me.

"i did not kick him out! i told him i was cleaning and i wanted him to rest! i'm still upset that he lied to me, like...who the hell is that lixie? he even told him that he loves the boy. if i find out who that guy is i will-"

"dude chill, you aren't even thinking straight. maybe if you actually TALKED to innie you wouldn't be stressing over this."

"i'm not even straight idiot! i didn't want to word vomit or let out my outburst of anger at my baby, okay?" i told him, "it's not easy being jealous."

"then stop jumping to conclusions if you don't wanna be jealous!" jisung whispered loudly.

"hah! coming from you, like you weren't letting out steam from your ears when minho talks to other girls-"

"alright fine! have your moment, but make sure innie gets there at the end of the day, i don't want the baby sad. it's been less than two weeks when you got together, and you're already having misunderstandings."

"it's almost two weeks? crap, i forgot we only have a few more days after the lockdown. he's only with me for fourteen days." i remembered, it felt like yesterday when i first saw his adorable face trying to reach the tissue roll at the grocery.

"now fix your mess before it's too late!" and with that, jisung suddenly dropped the call. no goodbye? alright then.

now i'm all alone again.

well maybe if you didn't tell jeongin to leave, you fool.

i'm such an ass.....i pushed jeongin away and we didn't talk properly. instead of getting answers, i distanced myself from him.

i was so depressed during those three days when we were apart, i didn't want history to repeat itself.

as much as i hate admitting it, jisung was right. i was wrong to push him away without knowing the whole story. i was too ahead of my emotions, and i immediately jumped to conclusions. i didn't even know the complete story.

taking my best friend's advice, i grabbed my phone and called innie.

"h-hello? hyungie?" my baby's voice seemed so timid through the speaker, i just wanted to apologize and hug him.

"hi innie, please come home."

"you're already done with cleaning the house?"

"uh, you could say that. oh...and innie?"

"yes hyungie?"

"we have something to talk about."

.....

[jeongin.]

"innie? why are you here with kkami?" minho hyung's widened, which kind of reminded me of a cat.

"the thing is hyung....hyunnie wanted me to bring kkami along here because he told me he was going to clean the house. i offered to help, but he said he wanted to do it alone? he said he didn't need any help from me." i ranted.

"HYUNJIN? CLEANING? those two words do not fit in a sentence together. he even turned down your offer for help? jeongin sweetie, something's wrong here." jisung hyung told me.

"um, earlier this morning it looked like he barely slept, i found him lying on the floor while staring at the ceiling. he was also acting weirdly? he didn't eat with me. it was almost as if....he's mad at me." i sighed, thinking of hyunjin hyung's actions toward me.

"this isn't sitting right with me, did you fight over anything the other day?" minho hyung asked.

"no, we were alright the other day. i don't think we fought over anything."

"you know what? i'm gonna talk to that asshole okay? you know we hate seeing you in this state." and then jisung hyung ran upstairs and was most likely planning to murder my boyfriend over the phone.

"while sungie's screaming at hyunjin, let's go play with the cats! i'm sure kkami misses bonding with them."

after probably about an hour of us crying over the cats and kkami's cuteness, jisung came running down the stairs.

"innie, your boyfriend just explained everything to me. let me just say, he's so stupid!" he laughed.

"what did he say hyung?"

"all i can say is it's a misunderstanding. hyunjin can explain it to you. now, let's eat some cookies while he's rearranging his thoughts."

'some cookies' was an understatement, minsung stuffed my stomach full with milk and cookies. i've never felt as bloated before in my life.

as if on cue, my phone suddenly rang. "excuse me hyungs, hyunjin's calling me."

"look at that innie! maybe hyunjin finally got his shit together." i mouthed a "shh" to jisung hyung so he would get the memo.

me and hyunjin's call ended in about thirty seconds, and minsung looked at me expectantly, as if they wanted me to tell them what happened.

"we have something to talk about."

.....

i sat together with hyunnie on the couch and let kkami go, the little dog wandering off to the backyard. i looked around the house, noticing that nothing has changed since i left. the atmosphere was tense, so i tried to initiate the conversation.

"hyungie? how'd the cleaning go?"

"innie, that was an excuse because i needed to be alone." he explained.

"then why didn't you say so?"

"it's because the other day, i barely slept and thought about something. i...i got jealous, okay?"

"huh? jealous? why?" i asked, becoming very confused at what he said.

"bub, you could've told me that your mom wasn't the one calling you. who's lixie?"

wait.....what? that's it?
