By the time Jisung and Seungmin had arrived outside, the older boy had started crying. Seungmin cautiously slipped his arms around his best friend, pulling him into a hug.
Jisung wasn't crying hysterically. It was silent, you could barely hear sobs. There were just tears running down his face as he buried his face in Seungmin's neck.
It seemed like Seungmin wanted to give Jisung some time to calm down before he decided to speak up again. «It's okay, Jisung.»
Was it really, though? Jisung thought. The boy didn't even know if he was crying out of relief or if it was because he was scared to be judged whatsoever. He didn't respond to Seungmin and just hugged him tighter. The latter seemed to have noticed that as he lightly started stroking Jisung's back, trying to calm him down.
After a few more minutes Seungmin gently pulled out of the hug to have Jisung face-to-face. The brunet's cheeks were tear stained and his eyes still teary. He tried to avoid eye contact, Seungmin noticed. He sighed. «So, Minho?»
Upon hearing that name Jisung's eyes immediately found Seungmin's, showing a little bit of surprise. Then he slowly nodded, realizing that there was no use in hiding anything from his best friend. The younger seemed to think for a second before he spoke again. He was cautious with his wording, which only made Jisung feel more awkward. «Do you know if he-» «No, but I don't think so. Look at him and Hyebin.» As Jisung said that, he broke eye contact with Seungmin again and looked up, blinking away newly forming tears.
Seungmin bit his lip, not knowing what to say. Jisung noticed that and sighed shakily. «Whatever. Let's go back inside and pack our things.» He didn't want to keep talking about that issue. Seungmin knew now and that was already too much for the boy. He didn't want his friend's sympathy because his crush didn't have the same sexuality. Jisung turned around and entered through the door, not caring anymore that you could clearly see his earlier crying session. Still, he kept his head low. He heard footsteps following him, assuming that Seungmin had decided to leave it by that.
«Oh, watch out there, buddy.»
Jisung lifted his head in surprise, just to be met with Minho's smiling face after he had unintentionally bumped into him. «I-I'm sorry.» Jisung quickly apologized and only when Minho's expression switched from smiling to a worried one, Jisung remembered what he looked like.
«Hey, are you okay?» The older put a hand on Jisung's shoulder, making him flinch at the touch, and slightly tilted his head, his eyebrows furrowed in worry.
Jisung started panicking internally. What was he supposed to say? He could hardly tell Minho that he had just admitted to being gay to his best friend and that he had cried because of that, and also, not to forget, because of Minho himself.
«Yeah, he's good. He just got a call from his parents. His grandma is in the hospital.» Seungmin arrived next to Jisung in the hallway and put an arm around the boy's shoulders, subtly shoving away Minho's hand in the process. Jisung has never been more relieved and thanked Seungmin in his thoughts as he nodded, confirming Seungmin's statement to Minho.
Minho's eyes switched to Seungmin, then quickly back to Jisung, his expression changing slightly, but Jisung couldn't identify it. «Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Is she okay?» He awkwardly shoved his hand into the pockets of his leather jacket.
Trying not to make it seem suspicious, Jisung decided to reply himself before Seungmin could do so. «Yeah, she's- she's fine...she's gonna be...fine.» He couldn't bring himself to look Minho directly into the eyes, his gaze kept shifting from behind Minho to the floor and to the left or right of the boy in front of him, but not once to his face.
«Okay, that's good to hear.» The was a short awkward silence between the three of them until Seungmin cleared his throat. «Well then, we should probably go get ready for departure.» He flashed Minho a small smile and didn't wait for a response, just walking by Minho, pulling Jisung with him.
The brunet released his breath he didn't know he had been holding the whole time when Minho was out of sight. «I really want to die.» «It'll go away, trust me. Just give yourself some time,» Seungmin said before he opened the door to their room, getting engulfed in two boys shouting at each other as soon as they entered.
«Hey, what the hell is going on here?» Seungmin got Hyunjin and Felix to stop arguing and they both looked at Seungmin, barely noticing Jisung standing right behind him. When none of the two spoke up, Seungmin folded his arms and raised his eyebrows, and that seemed to be enough to intimidate his two friends. Hyunjin started talking first. «Felix took my hand lotion and doesn't want to admit it! And I can't find it that way!» He pouted and pointed at Felix who stared at him, obviously offended. «I didn't! Why would I-» «I swear to God, I leave you two alone for ten minutes and this happens.» Seungmin made his way past the two boys, aiming for the night drawer next to the double bed. He opened one of the drawers and took out a small tube, shoving it in Hyunjin's face afterwards.
Jisung couldn't help but laugh at Hyunjin's reaction to that. His face significantly showed his fear of Seungmin for a second, then he grabbed the tube from the younger's hand and hugged him tightly with a wide smile. «That's why I always need you around,» he fawned, making Seungmin only huff in response. Nevertheless the younger returned the hug. That was when Jisung momentarily forgot about his problems and was happy to have such friends.
