Jooheon had been in his car for nearly an hour, waiting.

He was waiting for Minhyuk. He knew he could very easily leave him, and he had every right to. He didn't have to worry about it, as Minhyuk could sweet talk anyone into driving him across the world, if he really wanted to. 

Yet here Jooheon was, waiting for him, like the moronic, desperate boy that he was. Why? Because he craved what they had, as it was closest thing to a relationship that he could get.

He was very upset, but instead of blaming Minhyuk, he talked himself into blaming himself. He was too boring, too casual. He wasn't good enough to keep the gorgeous Minhyuk's attention. He needed to try harder, then maybe he would once again be worth Minhyuk's affection.

 Even if it wasn't love, Jooheon could delude himself into it, like before. He just needed to work harder.

Minhyuk knew that Jooheon would wait for him. He knew exactly what Jooheon was like, which is how he knew that he could take advantage of him as much as he pleased. 

When he finally put Jooheon out of his misery, Minhyuk would truly be bored, so he figured he would milk their relationship as much as possible.

When he finally got into the car, he immediately started charming Jooheon, grabbing his hand and leaning into him for a kiss, which was immediately rejected.

"Did you have fun with Mark?" Jooheon tried to be tough, thinking that maybe a change in personality would intrigue Minhyuk enough to keep him by Jooheon's side.

"Come on baby, I was drunk, I didn't mean it."

"I've never seen you get so drunk that you can't handle yourself. You're always in control, you can't lie to me."

Minhyuk pouted cutely, "baby, it was nothing. You know that you're my flame, you're the only one right now."

"Right now, but last night... did you even once think about me? And how I would feel?"

Yes, and it turned me on. "Baby... Jooheonie, don't do this. You know we're not more than sex."

"That's where you're wrong! I.. I thought it was more than that."

"Don't tell me you're in love with me?" No, please do.

"Of course not, I would never be that stupid. I just thought..."

"You never asked to be exclusive, baby."

"I never thought I would have to, I was obvious, wasn't I?"

"Don't argue with me, just take me home, or should I ask someone else?"

Jooheon paused, and Minhyuk groaned, reaching for the door to exit. He stopped only when he felt Jooheon's desperate grip on his arm, and he turned to see the pleading look in his eyes.

Perfect, Minhyuk smirked to himself, making sure that Jooheon couldn't see it.

"Forget it, I'll take you home."
