(EDITED)

Lee Minho cursed at himself yet again for slightly messing up his choreography. He needed it perfect by the time Felix shows up to the studio so they can run through it together. He was applying pressure on himself not only physically, but mentally as well.

Running through the choreography another time, Minho focused on the aspects he needed to get the move perfect. Pushing his hands forward and moving his right leg against the floor, quickly standing back up and putting his weight on his right leg just to feel how unstable he was. Minho knowing his limits, stopped dancing and paused the music.

Minho sits down and reaches for his phone to check the notifications just to see a new post from a group Felix got him interested in.

Minho seeing that they're working on something new smiled to himself. Felix is going to have a field day with this information.
At the thought of Felix, Minho hears a door open and looks up. Felix comes walking in with two coffees in his hands.

"Lee Minhooooo" Felix sings as he walks over to where Minho decided to take a rest. Minho rolls his eyes and shuts his phone off.

"Do not tell me you got coffee when it's 10 at night." Minho sighs shaking his head. The younger has enough energy already, he doesn't need any more.

Felix looks at Minho pretending to be shocked. Felix being the dramatic person he is, pulls out his phone and looks for Hyunjin's contact. Minho side eyes Felix.

"What are you doing Lix?" Minho questions curiously. Felix doesn't even look at him as he puts his phone to his ear. Minho sighs and opens his phone getting the music ready to practice.

Felix listens to the dialing of the phone losing his patience. He better not have been dramatic for no reason. Finally upon that thought, Hyunjin picks up.

"What do you want? I'm on the bus heading to the studio." Hyunjin asks annoyed that Minho refused to pick him up for practice.

"I have a coffee here with your name on it!" Felix smiles at Minho. Minho looking up at Felix squinting his eyes.

"Felix" Hyunjin says in the cutest voice he can muster. "I love you!!!" He says into the phone and hangs up.

Felix turns off his phone smiling and looks back up at Minho. Realizing his reality Felix puts his hands up. "Minho... please" is all he can muster before he takes off running out the building and into the streets of Seoul.

Minho wasn't necessarily mad about the coffee, more so that Felix just loves getting on his nerves. Minho takes off after Felix knowing Lix could never beat Minho in anything physical. Felix is sprinting as fast as he can not looking back knowing he's being followed by the elder.

"FELIX GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE" is all Felix needs to hear before pushing his legs harder knowing Minho has a few inches on him in height so he can't slow down or he's dead.

Minho having an idea, stops running. Looking around realizing they ran two blocks away from the studio, he turns to run back. Now he can get the coffee before Felix realizes he's not chasing him anymore. Running into the studio Minho's faces drops as he sees Hyunjin sipping on said coffee.

Hyunjin looks up and smile brightly at Minho, "Hey Whore". Minho glares at Hyunjin and lays on the ground just wanting to be done with the night. Sure he didn't want the coffee at the beginning but now he's thirsty from all the running.

After noticing Minho is not on the hunt for him, Felix goes back to the studio. Peaking his head in the door he sees Minho on the floor and Hyunjin sipping a coffee while scrolling through his phone.

"So you were just going to let me keep running?" Felix says slightly frustrated with the elder. Minho doesn't move a muscle and answers Felix's question with a quiet 'Mmm'. Sighing Felix walks into the studio and sits down next to Minho.

"Can we cancel practice tonight? I don't feel up to it anymore." Felix asks his two best friends hoping the answer will be a yes. Minho picks his head up to glare at Felix.

"FINE, but let's finish early I have work at the Cafe tomorrow morning" Felix says sighing and standing up. Hyunjin puts his coffee and phone down preparing to start their choreography. Minho getting up from the floor and opens his phone, opens his music app and looks at the other two boys confirming they're ready. With a quick nod from both, Minho starts the music. Getting into position, the music hits the beat that starts off the choreography and soon enough all three boys are moving in sync.

Minho starts to worry as the choreography comes to the part where he struggles, not wanting the boys to see how he struggles with the move. Taking a deep breath he tries to push through it but his legs wobbles again and he loses his balance a bit and ends up grabbing Hyunjin's shoulder to steady himself. Felix seeing what happened goes to stop the music.

"Minho are you okay? What just happened?" Felix says surprised, usually that would be Felix in Minho's position. Minho's a perfectionist, if he can't get something right he will sit there for hours until it is right. Letting go of Hyunjin's shoulder, Minho looks at Felix feeling guilty.

"I don't know, honestly I've been having trouble with this move for a day or two. I can't seem to get it right and it's eating away at me." Minho says thinking honesty is better than just saying he tripped.

Minho looks at Hyunjin apologetically. "I'm sorry Hyunjin" he says while rubbing Hyunjin's shoulder making sure he didn't hurt him. Hyunjin looks at him and smiles. "Don't worry hyung, I'm okay."

Felix a bit concerned knowing how Minho pushes himself prepares to ask a question. "Min, how long have you been practicing this choreography?". Minho sighs and looks at the younger. "I practiced for 4 hours today, about 8 hours yesterday." Felix knowing how they only got the choreography yesterday morning, and only practiced together for 4 hours yesterday gets a bit worried.

"Min, going to school full time and working here, do you really think that's a good idea? You're going to drain yourself." Minho looks at Felix as Lix said that. Seeing the look in Minho's eyes, Felix backs off. Hyunjin steps in, "Let's try again, and we'll practice till you get it right, alright Min? Let's do this!" Minho not used to seeing Hyunjin be this positive, smiles to himself and gets ready to start the choreography again.

-Time skip, 3 hours later-

Minho looks at his phone exhausted from practice, checks the time to see that it's 2:24am. Putting his phone down he sighs. The younger boys left already, and it was just Minho in the studio. Minho was able to get the move down, he just has to stay consistent with it.

Minho letting his mind wonder, thinks about his upcoming audition. The choreography he and the boys prepared is for a citing and job hunting gig. Hoping they can find a job that pays better than the studio, the boys made a collaborative dance choreography to show their skills.

Sighing to himself, Minho stands up and gets his things ready to leave for the night. Shutting the lights off and locking the doors, Minho makes his way to his car. Upon throwing his bag in his back seat, Minho starts his car and makes his way to his apartment.

..

Next morning

Minho wakes up to the sound of his phone ringing. Minho sighs and sits up in his bed and picks his phone up off his bed side table. Seeing the contact is Felix, he answers.

"Lix what's up?"

"LEE FUCKING MINHO HAVE YOU CHECKED INSTAGRAM?" Oh god, Felix saw 3racha's new post. Sighing to himself yet again, Minho answers the younger.

"I have, is this about 3racha?"

"Ok wait,, you saw the post and didn't tell me? What type of friend are you Lee Minho?!?!?" Felix argues dramatically.

Minho, knowing this is just an act and Felix is not actually upset, and answers simply "Yes, and a friend that needs more sleep. Bye." Minho hangs up the phone. Laying back down, Minho realizes he doesn't even know how long he slept. Checking the time, Minho's eyes widen and he races out of his bed. 10:49am, he has a class at 11am.

Getting ready quickly, Minho starts his walk to his college. Luckily it's about a 10 minute walk so he will only be a few minutes late. Sighing to himself, Minho takes out his phone and pulls up Hyunjin's contact.

This is Hyunjin and Minho texting

Minwho: Hyunjin are you coming to practice today??

Hyunjinnie <3: We have practice?

Minwho: Are you kidding ?

Minwho: Did you forget about practice??

Hyunjinnie <3: Ok you can not expect me to remember

Minwho: Whatever just get your ass to the studio at 8 tonight

Hyunjinnie <3: You're not my dad

Hyunjinnie <3: Whore

Minho laughs to himself and continues his walk to his college, only being 5 minutes away now. He puts his headphones on and starts listening to NCT, one of his favorite groups. Looking at his phone, he got a notification.

Minho thinks to himself, he recognizes the chang.binnie username from somewhere. Maybe the jeongin.in as well?? Where has he seen it?? Minho stops walking and thinks to himself. Where the fuck?
Deciding to figure it out later, Minho checks the time. 11:02am. "Fuck".
Minho takes off running to the building his class is in and barely makes it before 11:05am.

A/n like I said, this is a slow burn book but more interactions between Jisung and Minho will happen soon. 🤗
