Facade - Banginho/MinChan

Chapter Two

After a few seconds of thought, Chris decided that he should put his thoughts aside and just have a good time with his friends.

---

Chris decided he was going to start watching Minho a bit more carefully over the next few weeks to see if he did anything suspicious. It's time for him to know the truth about whether or not Minho has powers.

Chris watched as Minho left their room. "I'm going to go out for a run, I'll be back in a bit."

Chris half-heartedly nodded. "Okay."

Minho has been going out on runs almost daily ever since school got temporarily shut down because of the Crash attack. He goes out for hours at a time.

Now that Chris thought about it, that was a bit suspicious. It was either that Minho was really healthy or that he was doing something more than human.

Chris snuck up to the doorway of his and Minho's room, peeking out to see Minho tying his shoes right by the door. After he was done, Chris watched as Minho stood up and opened the door before stepping out.

The door shut.

Chris jumped up and rushed to the front door, slipping his sneakers on. Minho couldn't get away.

Chris yanked the front door and rushed behind a tree in the front yard, eyes landing on Minho's figure, who was now running down the sidewalk. Thankfully, Minho had his earbuds in so he couldn't hear if Chris was there.

But if Minho turned around and looked at him?

Chris would be screwed.

Chris' eyes lingered on Minho a bit too long, because damn, Minho looked really ho-

Chris blinked. He needed to focus. Minho was getting away.

Chris started to run to where Minho was going, hiding behind various mailboxes and trees in his neighbor's front yards. Boy, he was nervous.

Minho literally only needed to turn around once, and then Chris would have to start planning his funeral.

Minho turned down a side road, making Chris panic. Chris ran to where Minho was going, eyes still glued on Minho's figure.

Chris followed Minho around for quite a while until Minho suddenly stopped, pulling out his phone. Chris watched from behind a trash can as Minho tapped a few buttons on his phone.

What was he doing?

Minho spoke into the microphone in his earbuds. "Hello?"

Chris' eyes widened. He was getting a phone call.

Minho put his phone back into his pocket. "Yeah, sure."

Chris listened intensely. Who was calling him?

"Uh huh."

"You want to meet? ...You mean like later today?"

"Why?"

"Oh, yeah, sure."

Minho sighed. "I know, I know. We are going to figure it out, we literally have to. The rate of cri-"

Chris snuck a bit closer, curiosity overtaking his carefulness.

"No! Totally not."

"Well, yeah, but I-"

"I know that!"

"You're right, it's just that... well you already know. It's just been so stressful, and-"

"Okay, yeah, I guess I'll see you later. Bye."

Chris couldn't think about it any longer because he noticed Minho start to look around after he hung up his call.

Fuck.

Chris immediately used his telekinesis to slide the trash can to right in front of him, right as Minho looked towards his direction. "Hello?"

Chris held his breath, heart pounding. Was he about to get caught?

Chris heard silence for a few seconds before hearing Minho's shoes pad away from where he was standing.

Chris slowly peeked out from behind the trash can, seeing Minho start to run away.

Phew.

That was way too close for comfort.

---

Chris followed Minho around for his whole two hour run without getting caught. There wasn't anything particularly suspicious that Minho did for the whole time.

Well, except for that phone call.

Who was Minho talking to?

Who was he going to be meeting?

Chris' thoughts have been literally been occupied with just all of this for the past few hours.

It could literally be nothing. It could just be one of their friends.

Chris' thoughts got interrupted by Minho peeking his head into their room. "Hey, Channie. I'm going to be going to the grocery store to get some things for a bit."

Chris sat up. Was Minho lying about going? Was he actually going to be going to visit whoever he had a call with? "Really? Can you, uh... get me some gummy bears then?"

Minho nodded. "Uh, okay yeah... I... can do that. I'll see you."

Chris watched as Minho left the doorway.

Chris would've went to follow Minho, but he assumed Minho was going to take the jeep so he obviously couldn't follow a car for very long.

Chris sighed. He could only be left with his thoughts.

Was Minho hiding something?

Was he lying about going to the grocery store?

If it was something normal, why would he need to lie?
