A smirk tugged at his lips - but it was thin, angry, tired.
"If you're not gonna apologize," Hyunjin said coldly, "at least you could say thank you. You almost died."
Minho didn't even blink. "I didn't ask for your help."

But Hyunjin slammed his hand on the locker beside him, trapping him in place. His body blocked the exit, his eyes dark and storming.
"Is your thing pretending nothing ever touches you?" he said, voice low but taut with frustration eyes burning with anger. "That you're above it? That even death wasn't worth reacting to?"
Minho met his stare, his tone flat. "And it's your thing - obsessed with people who don't care."
It hit.
Hard.
