Pov Seungmin

He suddenly heard the door knocking, and stood up to open it, but probably the cold already made him sick.

"Hyunjin?"

He asked. He couldn't stand up, he was feeling really dizzy. That was the moment when Jisung texted him that he got home.

"Hey, why's the door locked?"

"Cause it's my own room? Duh?"

Hyunjin kept knocking the door, without the thought of Seungmin actually not being able to open, crossing his mind.

And Seungmin didn't know how to tell him. Hyunjin would be worried. He'd start complaining about how he always takes care of others but not himself.

Just like Jisung did. Oh, Jisung. That boy. He had really done something to Seungmin. There was no way he, out of nowhere, was acting like that on his own.

"Will you open the door?"

"I can't! I'm- uh... Naked."

Seungmin murmured, saying the most dumb excuse he could ever say in his whole damn life.

"I've seen you naked more than your mom has. Please, open the door."

"No."

Hyunjin groaned, and started to knock hard, almost banging on the door, trying to make Seungmin open.

"I can't! Just leave."

Seungmin said, and covered his head with his pillow. But he was sick, and his nose was closed, so that meant that the pillow made it even worse for him to breathe.

He heard Hyunjin's footsteps fading away, and he grabbed his phone to see Jisung's message.

The end

Seungmin smiled and closed his phone, leaving Jisung on read. Not that he cared about it, he was leaving everyone on read.

He wanted to call Hyunjin, but maybe he would understand that he was sick, because of his voice.

So he just closed his eyes, and fell asleep real quick. That night, he didn't have any dreams.

His alarm went off, and scared Seungmin. He got out of bed, unlocked the door, and went to the bathroom.

As he was getting ready, he heard his phone ringing and he got out, really annoyed.

"Why is Jisung calling you?"

He heard Hyunjin asking, and he almost choked on the air he was breathing.

"Give me that. Yes?"

"You're not coming to school, are you?"

Seungmin laughed nervously, but the laugh made him cough. Hyunjin gasped, and crossed his arms.

"Uhm... I don't know, but I have a problem now so bye."

He said, and hung up as he saw Hyunjin's look. The elder raised his eyebrow and Seungmin looked away, with an awkward smile on his face.

"Tell me you didn't wake up to get ready for school."

"I did. What's y'all's problem anyway? I am sick. Not you."

Seungmin said through gritted, and went back to the bathroom again. He took a warm bath, and then locked himself in his room, not wanting to see Hyunjin.

He hated being told what to do. He was planning on leaving from school if he felt even a little bit of pain anywhere.

But after that, he wouldn't do it. So he packed his stuff, grabbed his keys and jacket, and ran out.

Hyunjin tried to stop him, but Seungmin left. It was the first time he was going to school without Hyunjin. They had never ever fought before.

It just made Seungmin really bad. It was the very first time he was mad at him. They could never get mad at each other.

At least not Hyunjin. And he had admitted it. Seungmin was really special to him.

Seungmin went in the bus, not waiting for Hyunjin. So he, as usually had to take the second one. But he was always waiting for it with Seungmin.

The bus stopped in front of the school, and Seungmin got out, feeling a bit dizzy.

There, he met Felix and Jeongin, both looking at him a bit surprised, but also happy.

"Hey, you're early! What happened, where is Hyun? You look sad."

Jeongin said, in one breath. Felix gasped as he was done making theories in his head.

"Hyunjin told you again he still likes you, and you're now awkward around him!"

Jeongin widened, and he seemed like he was ready to cry, after hearing what Felix had just said.

"Is- is that true? Hyunjin... Hyunjin still likes you?"

"Nooo. Don't listen to him, Innie. Me and Hyunjin are the same thing me and you are. We're just closer because we know each other more years."

Seungmin reassured him, while looking at Felix knowing everything about the Jeongin's feelings towards Hyunjin.

"It's just that... Look, I'll tell you, but don't you dare tell me anything, okay?"

They both nodded and they went to the cafeteria, as they always did in the morning.

They sat down, and Seungmin explained everything. He knew that none of them would complain about it.

"I'd get mad too. Okay, I get it, you care. But it's my own choice, whether I want to suffer or not."

Jeongin said. Seungmin wasn't suffering. It was just a cold. He was fine. But he didn't say anything about it. He was just glad they could understand him.

Or at least Jeongin, cause Felix was in his own world.

"Yeah, I mean, you're right an all, but how did Jisung text you? I don't remember you ever giving him your number."

Seungmin looked down, and coughed. That moment, Hyunjin arrived, and sat next to him.

"You actually came, huh?"

"I don't wanna fight with you right now."

Seungmin murmured, grabbed his things, and stood up, getting ready to leave, knowing that if he didn't, him and Hyunjin would fight.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Seungmin completely ignored Jeongin, and tried to leave, but Hyunjin stopped him, by grabbing him by his hand.

"I'll stop, I promise. Please stay here."

Seungmin sighed, and sat back down. They were doing him anything they wanted. But Seungmin had no problem, as long as his friends were happy.
