UPSTAIRS (minsung) [✓]

13.

Minho wasn't
completely sure
on what was happening
at this moment.

Here he was,
hiding behind
a potted plant
in the cafe
in which he could see
Seungmin and Hyunjin
happily enjoying
eachothers company.

Oh and did
he mention
that the very
attractive man
with dozens
of tattoos
was holding his
hand tightly,
while they
both spied
on his partner?

No?

Well-

He was.
And he smelt like
musky deodorant.

His hand
was warm.

But judging by
his hurt expression,
Minho remembered
their situation.

His partner
(boyfriend? husband?)
sat only a few inches
away from him,
on a date with
another man.

Who also
happened
to be Minho's
best friend.

Now of this isn't
the most peculiar
and quite frankly the
strangest thing
he's done in a while...

"How you
holding out?"

The man said,
looking back
at Minho-
with a
sad smile.

Minho felt bad,
the man way
too nice
to have his
heart broken.

But that smile,
god that smile.

"Yup- ya.
I'm good.
Great.
As good
as an ostrich."

Minho wanted
to melt onto
the floor and
disappear
because,

what the fuck?

Really?
An ostrich?
What does that
even mean?

But maybe
it was worth it-

Because the
other man
giggled.

He fucking
giggled.

Minho
worriedly
asked,

"Uh- you
ok? Um-"

Jisung
smiled,

"Jisung.
And yup,
I'm great.
Like an ostrich."
