Chapter 23

⚠️homophobic language⚠️

"I'm really sorry for what I've done. In my point of view, it was the best option." Minho bows, his head low to the boys sitting under the willow tree.

"Sit." Chan pats the grass beside him with a nonchalant expression. Obliging Minho sits and continues to be quite until someone else speaks. "So you and Jisung, huh?" Chan teases the nervous boy beside him.

Minho looks up surprised at how chill Chan seems. All the times they have met before he has been arguing with Hyunjin and sometimes hands were thrown. Seeing him this way feel different, like a fatherly feel.

"If it's okay with you I would like to date Jisung," Minho says to Chan thinking he needs to ask for permission.

"Don't ask me." Chan chuckles at Minho's behaviour, "Ask him!" He points over to Jisung whose cheeks have gone bright pink.

Minho takes a deep breath feeling everyone's eyes on him. "Jisung... w-will you go out with me?" Minho darts his eyes away from Jisungs feeling his cheeks becoming red.

Everyone watching in anticipation for what Jisungs response will be, only making him feel more nervous. "C-Can you not a-all look at me please." Jisungs stutters out turning his gaze away.

The others do as he asks as the tension in Minho's heart growing tighter with each passing second.

"Yes." Jisung finally says with everyone off guard.

"What!?" Minho looks back with a huge smile.

"Yes! I'll go with you." Jisung huffs turning his head to hide his huge smile.

Without even thinking Minho pounces on to the squirrel boy beside him who is now his boyfriend. Not wanting to let go Minho holds Jisung in a tight hug.

"C-can't b-b-breath." Jisung taps Minho's wanting him to get off.

Realising what he's doing Minho quickly sits up. "Sorry." He bows his head annoyed at himself for losing control.

"Nothing to worry about." Changbin finally speaks up.

Felix has been quietly sitting in Changbins lap not saying anything. Felix is happy that he now knows and doesn't see why it was such a big deal. Especially since Changbin has Felix now and he'll stay by his side.

The five sit together talking, Chan and Changbin being able to get to know Minho a bit more. Minho enjoying his time with them even though it's only for a few minutes till the bell rings and they head off to their class.

"Hey!" Chan shouts out the pair walking away. Minho flinches before cautiously turning around. "You are always welcome to come and join us whenever you want." Chan waves them off with a smile at knowing at least Minho isn't a prick like someone else.

"See I said he was a nice guy." Felix defends Minho as he stands up.

"Yeah, I'm glad he is." Changbin follows after with his legs feeling slightly numb from Felix but he doesn't since it's Felix.

"I've got a free so I'll see you guys at lunch." Felix leaves as he skips along back to the dorms so he can relax and do a little bit of studying, wanting to keep it to the minimum.

Changbin lets out a small laugh at Felix cuteness shrinking away onto the distance. Chan watching Changbin still think if it truly is okay for Felix to know but if Changbin and Felix are happy then should be fine, at least for now.

Lunch rolls around and Minho is left to clean up the group's area again like usual. This time Jisung waited till everyone in the room left to g8ve Minho a quick peck but still ends up running away to leave Minho to clean.

"Done.!" Minho says to himself as he looks at the clean working space, proud of the hard work he knows he can now head to lunch.

Taking his apron off to hang Minho grabs his bag and leaves, locking the door behind him with a spare key the teacher gave him. Turning around Minho jumps back not expecting to see Hyunjin standing right in front of him.

"W-What are doing here?" Minho gulps with Hyunjin not just towering over him but also glaring down.

"How was helping the teacher?" Hyunjin asks in a monotone voice.

"Huh? Oh er fine nothing abnormal." Minho remembers the lie he told Hyunjin before to getaway.

"Really?" Hyunjin bends over to be eye level with Minho. "Then how come when I walked past your teacher she knew nothing of you helping?"

Minho feels himself start to sweat as Hyunjin inches closer. Hyunjin knows he lied but what is he supposed to say now it's not like he can tell the truth. Hyunjin takes one final step having Minho now backed up against the door and unable to getaway.

"I saw you over with those freaks." Hyunjin stands straight looking down at Minho for hanging around with such people.

Only thing is Minho has now had enough of Hyunjin homophobic behaviours. "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Minho shouts causing Hyunjin to take a few steps back. "Yes I didn't have to see a teacher I went to see Felix. Why? Because of you treated him. That's right, I told him the truth about you and Changbin and I don't regret it. When I went to see those people I enjoyed being with them. They are nice people and if you're going to hate on them then you're going to have to hate on me because I'm not just one of them I'm dating Jisung now and I like him very much!" Minho's chest heaves up and down and he regains his breath back from ranting at Hyunjin.

Hyunjin listening to it all is taken back by what Minho has said. All this time he never knew who Minho was. Raising his hand ready to hit Minho but instead shoves it into his pocket and walks away with heavy steps.

Minho watches as Hyunjin disappears down the hallway and around the corner. Maybe it's best to leave Hyunjin alone for today. Sadly he can't just stop being around Hyunjin altogether since Seungmin and Jeongin know nothing of what's going on and things may be getting more complicated then he wants to.
