A/n somewhat proofread cause i'm lazy

A chime was heard as a familiar face walked into the Café the sunshine boy was working his extra long shift.

"Minho Hyung!"

Before Minho even had time to process, there was an almost too-tight of a hug surrounding him.

"Sunshine, hey." Minho did his best to return the hug but the slightly shorter boy squeezed him as tight as he could, limiting his arm movement.

"I missed you."

The taller pulled Felix back a bit so he could admire his friend. He could tell by Lix's expression that he meant what he said. He could see the sadness in the younger's eyes and it completely gutted Minho.

"Hey, why are you sad?"

There was a small whimper heard from the younger's mouth as he went to squeeze his hyung again.

"I used to see you every day. Now it's like once a week, Hyung."

A warm smile crept its way to Minho's face. He couldn't help but coo at his best friend's antics.

"I'll come visit you more. We have to find a time for me, you, and Hyun to all hang out again."

At the mention of their other friend, Felix pulls back and lets go of Minho.

"Is he okay, Hyung?"

"Not exactly, but I also don't know what is really wrong, either. Jisung probably knows more than I do." Minho scoffs.

Felix rolls his eyes at his friend's attitude.

"You're acting like they can't be friends. Stop trying to gatekeep Jisung."

A small audible gasp came from the older. There was a sense of joking being sent between the two but Minho couldn't help but talk about his frustration.

"I'm not gatekeeping, Lix. You should have seen how they were laid up this morning, wrapped in each other's arms."

Felix could see the way it affected Minho. His hyung's facial expressions clearly showcased how he was feeling, there was no hiding it.

"Let's go sit down and talk about this, okay?"

Minho nodded and went to find an empty table in the back of the Café which was a bit difficult due to the end of the morning rush. Felix quickly let his co-worker know he'll take his 15 minute break and made his way to Minho's pick of a table.

"So, Hyung." Felix leans his arms forward and rests his head on his hands, batting his eyelashes.

"Are you trying to flirt with me or something? Because it's not working. I love you, Lix, but you aren't exactly my type."

The younger's arms were retracted and he scooted his chair away an inch.

"That is so insulting you have no idea. I wouldn't want to flirt with you anyway."

Minho chuckles at the younger's response. He could tell Felix just wanted to know the drama.

"You have that idol anyway."

"And you have THAT idol."

Minho slightly blushes. He hasn't fully come to terms with his feelings yet so hearing those words from Felix made it all that much more real.

"Yeah... so how's, uhm, things with Changbin anyway?"

"I thought you'd never ask."

Felix swore he could hear Minho roll his eyes.

"We have been talking on and off. He gets really busy during the day and we usually just text at night. We hung out last night though, that was nice." Felix sighed, remembering all the events of last night. Minho didn't need to know the details of why they ended up hanging out, so he chose to leave most specifics out.

"Oh that reminds me, did Hyunjin call you last night? He called me around 10, maybe? I don't know for sure. I think he went out drinking or something but I told him I was busy." Minho questions, seeing if there were any answers from his friend as to why Hyunjin seemed so emotionally wrecked last night.

"I actually agreed to go out drinking with him but Changbin Hyung ended up coming over."

Minho tried his best to hide his automatic facial response to hearing Felix call Changbin, hyung. Though it was definitely caught by the younger.

"You call him Hyung?"

"Minho, don't be dramatic." Lix reached his hand for the other's as it was already resting atop the table.

"Lix. How close are you two?" Minho retracted his hand quickly and averted his eyes to his lap. He couldn't help the small feeling of sadness seep into his heart.

"Hyung, you know how much I care about you and your feelings, but to get upset over this seems silly."

Minho rolled his eyes, keeping his focus on his lap.

"I know, I need to fix my possession issues. I just- You're my best friend, Lix. I'm not losing you to some idol."

"Lee Minho, stop with your close-minded mindset. You literally like an idol. Why are you punishing me for doing the same? Are we not close enough that you really think anyone could get between us? If so, that worries me, Hyung."

There was that pang of guilt eating away at Minho's stomach yet again. Today didn't seem like it could get any worse for the boy.

"I'm sorry, Lix. I really am. I feel like all I'm doing these days is fucking up and apologizing."

"Then stop fucking up." Felix was of course known as the sunshine of their little friend group but he for sure knew how to hold his friends accountable. "Now, would you like to talk about what is going on between you and Jisung? We already wasted five minutes of my break."

This is the whole reason why Minho ended up here in the first place. He needed to talk to someone about this.

"Yes, please. This might be hard for me though. I haven't really admitted out loud to, well, you know."

Felix reached his hand out once again for his Hyung's, though neither of Minho's hands were resting on the table anymore causing Felix to flick his wrist as a sign to hold his hand. Minho caught on and lightly grabbed his friend's hand.

"The first step is acknowledging it. You have feelings for Jisung. Tell me that."

Minho brought his eyes to lock with the younger's, showing just how fearful he felt.

"Lix, no."

"I know it's scary for you but just work with me, okay? No one else is listening, it's just me and you. You're not going to get hurt in this moment and you already know I support you."

There was a reassuring squeeze sent Minho's way through the connection of their hands.

"I, uh..."

Felix nods, trying to encourage his friend.

"I like Jisung." It comes out as a whisper, but still showing improvement nonetheless.

"Good job, Hyung. I'm proud of you."

Minho can't help but smile brightly at his friend. He felt a weight lift off his chest and it felt somewhat easier to breathe.

"That wasn't that bad."

"See? I don't know why you're so scared."

"Lix, I don't talk to anyone about my love life. This isn't normal for me."

Felix shows a small smile as a sign of understanding.

"I know, Hyung. I really think you are in a sensitive mind state because of all of this. You don't usually act like this, or more so, you don't show it."

Felix sighs, realizing Minho doesn't have anything to say, so he continues.

"What happened with Hyun? As far as you know."

Minho pulls his hand away from his friend's to rest them in his lap again.

"I really don't know, Lix. Something happened last night that upset him but he didn't bring it up to me so I didn't want to ask and make him uncomfortable. He actually might have told Jisung."

"Why do you think he told Jisung?"

"They just seemed really comfortable around each other and knowing Hyun, he can't keep things bottled up inside long."

There was a nod from Felix, knowing and understanding that his best friend can't keep his emotions (or drama he found out) inside for long.

"Did he cry, Hyung?"

"Yeah, he was crying on the phone when he asked me to come back to my place."

"Ah, that's concerning. I don't remember the last time he cried besides when he spilled that coffee on his shirt."

The two boys exchange a laugh remembering how ridiculous their friend acted.

"Though he might've been drunk last night and you know how he can get when he's drunk."

"He either becomes a party animal or he's sobbing in someone's arms. There is no in-between."

"Yeah."

There was another sigh let out as Felix looked down at the table for a second.

"What are you going to do about Jisung?"

Minho gives the question a thought, not thinking he should do something about it right now.

"Well, I don't know what extent my feelings are exactly so just, keep everything the same?"

"Hyung, are you sure about that?"

"I think so. I don't want to start something that I can't keep going. I don't want to hurt him or myself, Lix."

"That's real mature of you, Min."

The two boys share a smile.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom."

Minho takes his leave from the table and Felix immediately pulls his phone out to text his other best friend.

Felix sighed, putting his phone down on the table. He really did not know what to do about any of this. He felt bad for both of his friends for different reasons.

*ding*

Felix looked down at his phone and raced to open it once he saw the contact name.

Changbinnie: hey

Changbinnie: see you then lixie

Felix couldn't keep his smile hidden, the butterflies very active in his stomach making him feel a bit lightheaded.

"Lix? What's got you all smiley?" Minho returned and took his seat across his best friend.

"Minho, you better have no plans tonight. You're helping me get ready for a date!"
