Facade - Banginho/MinChan

Chapter Seventeen

It's going to be hard to let go of Minho, but he's going to have to for the sake of his future and his sanity.

---

Today was the day that Chris decided he was going to do something he might regret.

He was going to break Minho's heart.

He knew that it wouldn't end well eventually if Minho was Strike, so why not do it earlier rather than later.

Surprisingly, Chris didn't feel nervous, scared, or even sad for that matter.

He was emotionless.

During first period, Chris decided to tell Changbin about what he was going to do later, and the reaction he got was unsurprisingly very extreme.

He was very shocked.

"What? Why? What happened between you two?"

Chris stared at Changbin as he whisper yelled. "Something. Minho just... I know he's hiding something from me and he has been... and now I know."

Changbin's shock did not diminish any less. "W-what? What is it?"

"I can't exactly tell you, but... it's really extreme. You don't understand and... probably never will, but you just can't know."

Changbin's eyes widened. "Is he... is he cheating?"

Chris shook his head, eyes returning back to his desk. "No, no he's not... but it's something..."

Changbin sighed. "Okay, but... just don't do anything you'll regret. You might... break his heart."

Chris sat at his and his friends' usual lunch table, waiting for a certain person to show up.

Literally, everyone except for Minho was already there.

Awesome, way to delay the inevitable.

"How's your day going, hyung?"

Chris turned towards the source of the voice, seeing Felix with an expectant look on his face.

Felix has been getting used to his new hearing aids over the past few weeks, finding a setting that's almost perfect for him. He was almost back to normal.

Chris tried to give Felix a smile, but it probably looked more like a wince. "It's going okay, I-"

"Hey, guys."

Chris turned to see Minho standing at the table, about to sit down. Chris immediately stood up, uttering the words that no people in relationships like to hear. "Min, we need to talk."

A flash of fear went through Minho's eyes. "O-oh?"

Chris gestured for Minho to follow him, beginning to walk away from the table. Chris looked back for a split second, seeing almost all of his friends with facial expressions that radiated confusion except for Changbin. Changbin knew what was about to happen.

Chris led Minho to the bathroom, turning to him with a sigh. Chris looked at Minho's face, immediately noticing something.

Minho looked terrified.

"Ch-Chan? What's wrong?"

Chris paused for a second, searching for words. Maybe he should just be direct. "Min, uh, I think we should break up."

Minho visibly shattered. "W-what? W-why? Did I do s-something wrong?"

Chris shook his head, emotionless. "No."

"Then w-why?"

"I won't tell you, but I think you already know. And if you don't, you probably will know soon."

Minho now looked confused. "H-huh?"

Chris looked straight into Minho's eyes. "I know more than you think."

Minho's eyes widened slightly, suddenly terrified.

"Bye, Min."

Chris walked out of the bathroom, leaving Minho.

"How'd it go with Minho?"

Chris walked up to Changbin and Felix, who were standing outside of the school.

Chris sighed. "We're over."

Felix's eyes widened. "What? You what? Did I hear you correctly? You guys are over? Huh?"

Oh right, Changbin was the only one who knew that he was going to break up with Minho.

Chris stuffed his hands in his pockets. "Yeah. I broke up with him. He... I found out that he probably was the one that did something to me and... there is no way I could stay with him just knowing that he possibly was the one who did this to me."

Felix's eyebrows raised in surprise. "Wow... he must've done something really bad then."

Chris slowly nodded, distractedly. "Very."

Changbin took Felix's hand. "You two both live together, right?"

"Yeah."

Changbin looked at Chris. "Do you want to stay with me for a while since it would probably be awkward for you two?"

Chris nodded, not even thinking about that. That would probably be a good idea. "Yeah, sure, actually."

Guess he was going to move.
